WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1977, PAGE 5 One of the problems we continually face through life is trying to determine, which are the good guys and which are the bad guys. ln the old movies it wasn't so bad hecause the good guy always wore the white liat and rode the white horse. But now, with sonie of the neWi aduit westerns the hiero is hiable to wind up falling in love wit1i his horse and only the two of thern ride off into the sunset. Thec dialogue would probably go something like, "Who was the queer rnasked man??". As we get older and supposedly wiser it should be casier to sort out the bad guys from the good but in practical terms it doesn't always work out that way. For one thing as wve get older we get more prejudiced and that prejudice gets in the way of making a judgemient without bias. l'ni flot just going on about this to explore a theory but rather to tell you that 1 recently got painfully caughit righit in the middle of mny prejudices. The occasion was quite recent when 1 was asked by a supervisor to address a group of prisoners at a halfway house in Brampton. The terni "halfway" house usually implies that the. people have served their sentences are Corridor e Capers The Provincial Election is now history. The Davis Government was returned to power without a mnajority, but with six more members in the legisiature. Durham Region contributed to the victory by electing George Ashe, Bill Newman and Sam- Crueatz. Ail three are capable of being excellent representatives and should bring a more positive attitude to the troubled areas within Durhiam Region. Congratulations to ail the candidates who ran succcssfully or unsuccessfully. Each contributed in their own way to make the election worthxvhile.

This particular halfway house 1 visited was indeed a house but it was a houise' where prisoners were actuiflly serving their sentences. While drivinig to Brampton 1 let my prejudlices wander truhmy mind and consetîuently as 1 drove clown the street looking for the right street mnmber 1 completely missed the place because 1 rmust have beenlooking for a cenent block building paintecl grey with bars on the windows and littie or no slirubbery. Suich a building wouilc have lookedl very rnuch out of place in the middle of a quilet residential area of older homes ini the centre of Brampton buit 1Ihave a feeling that's what 1 was really looking for. 0f course I didn't find suich a building and after douibling back twice 1 finally drove up and parked at a Iovely old house that wasn't any different frorn any other on the street except that maybe the lawns were a little better rnanicured and the bouise in a little better condition. As 1 parked the car 1 began to think about the fact that 1 would shortly be in a building with a buinch of prisoners who were serving two years or less, for various offences although drug offences were the most common. 1 wondered if 1 would be asked for identification and frisked at the door., 1 didn't have long to find out. I was greeted in the driveway by the supervisor who had asked me there and we carried some films and equipm-ent ini the back door together. Suddenly 1 was standing inside a normal looking kitchen being introduced to the cook, an overweight mothcrly type who wvas probably a great cook and 1 knew withouit looking wouldn't allow smoking in ber kitchen. 1 found out later she was and she didn't. Finding the prisoners was a little difficult. Al I saw were a bunch of guys in dirty vWork clothes, obviously tired from a full day's work, sitting down at tables and enjoying IStrtsWed.,Jume15. the evening meal. The windows had no bars, 1 wasn't asked for identification or frisked and after wandering through the kitchen and leaving the filmns and qquipment in the living roomn nobody suiggested leaving a guard to stand over the equflient. The two of uis sat down to eat a great ineal of cold cuts and salads and then 1 found out my fellow diners were actually the prisoners. 1 remarked on the about the food and one inmnate replied that hie neyer gains weight but that lie had gained 1 5 pounds in the first mionth of staying at the house. During supper in between randomn conversations with the men 1 learned tiat each of themn was serving his time at the bouse but ail biad iobs. Each mnan --muld go out in the morning, some in their own cars, to viork at a local busine * s which bad been approved by the Correctional Ministry and would return to the bouse at night. Nightly passes were available for every night except Monday and Thursday to stay out for a few hours and weekend passes were available for each weekend. The men were charged $35 a week roomn and board, did their own laundry and certainly ate better than 1 do at home. They have a TV, stereo, books and cozy looking multi-bed bedrooms. Each bouse such as this has a staff of five or six who look just likce the inmates. There was aflso a pool table and shuffleboard for entertainment and comifortable furniture for just plain relaxing after a liard day's work. ln fact, the atmosphere was'so relaxed I began te fear 1 had wandered into the wrong bouse and been miistaken for soinebody else whýo would shortly arrive and oust nie. If'you can remember to pick up a Free Press next week l'd like to tell you more about this program by the Correctional Ministry that lets a man serve his sentence at at cost to the taxpayers of about $ 1 000 a year compared to $1 5-$l 8,000 a year in a normal prison or institute.
