There has been no discus- sion as to any specific locat- ion within the township for the 100-acre site. The institu- tion - a processing centre where convicts would spend only about eight weeks for classification - would be sur- rounded by two fences. "Other than that, he points out, the institution would be similar in appearance to a community college and campus. '""The tower and guard institution is the kind of thing to avoid," added Penitentiary Services Infor- mation officer, Norman Severud, who attended along with Mr. Bennett. SECURITY CONCERN Some concern was expres- sed about such things as temporary passes or leaves for inmates, but Mr. Bennett pointed out that a convict is eligible for leaves after a minimum term of six months. Therefore, no passes would be issued from areception centre because of the maximum stay of about eight weeks. When Mayor Lawrence Malcolm stated that the township has been '"'digging dry holes" in search for water, Mr. Bennett said that the institution would obvious- ly have to have both sewer and water systems, but not necessarily hooked into exist- ing municipal systems. Access to a lagoon and wells could be sufficient. Mr. Severud pointed out, however, that a fringe benefit in some other municipalities has been the construction by the federal government of sewage treatment or water plants for such institutions, systems that would allow other area development to hook into. A series of questions from the floor followed. Q. What penitentiary-related industry would come to the area, and would other indus- tries be driven away? A. Knows of no 'penitentiary related industry", and knows of no industries that have been "'driven away" Q. Hamper tourist, recreat- ion industry? A. No, rather helps it with influx of the many people who will work at the institution. Q. What kind of criminals, having committed what crimes, will move through the centre? A. Total output of the courts. Anyone serving from two to Life imprisonment. Q. What other locations look- ing at? A. No others, until we get a 0" here. Q. Local crime rate - police activity in area after institut- ion established. R -- Wednesday, June 18, 1975 -- 15 ~ Honeydale members have busy summer ¢ Yi | } eS ma When installed, this 60-foot metal tank will be capable of holding over 50 tons of bulk cement. The tank was erected last Wednesday at the new location of Lake Scugog Mobile Concrete on the Oshawa Road. The cement, which is stored in the tank, will be used for filling the mobile cement units owned by the company. A. No change. Q. Security precautions to protect the community. A. Because the centre will host total output of the courts, the institution would be hand- led on a maximum security basis. ; Explaining the security aspect further, Mr. Bennett pointed out that escapes almost always take place before the prisoner reaches the processing facility or after he gets to the final destination. A similar insti- tution in Quebec, pointed out Mr. Severud, has had no escapes. Any architectural, or other security faults would be spotted, and corrected in the Scugog unit. REAL ESTATE UPPED There would be no drop- ping in area property values, either in the immediate or general area. "On the con- trary," said Mr. Bennett, "with the increase in local employment, it would tend to go up." He pointed to a large "buffer". area between the immediate neighbour and the actual institution, a 1,000 square-foot building in the middle of up to 100 acres of land. Answering questions about the possibility of a change in function or of the operation of the institution with the 180- man, eight-week stay restric- tions, Mr. Bennett said there is "no way" he could give iron-clad guarantees, but said that the facility would always remain a reception centre. "That's how it is being built," he said. He also pointed out that any approval from council would be for that purpose (reception centre). Custodians ratify contract A possible strike was avoided Saturday when Durham Region Public School custodians ratified a new, two-year contract, 21s months after the last con- tract with the school board expired. No details of the contract has been released (at press time) because the board wishes to present the terms of the new agreement to the trustees first. Originally, the custodians were asking for a two-year contract with salary increases of 20 per cent the first year and 13 per cent the second. The board's offer was 15 and 12 per cent for the first and second years. Base rate for custodians in the last contract was $4.47 per hour. ht 20 5 -~ oo
