PAROLE BOARD
MODEL FOR ALL
STATES SOUGHT
Many Unreformed
Criminals Being
Set Free
CHICAGO, Dec. 15.—Public wel
fare, and prison officials and work
ers throughout the country are.
watching with interest current agi
tation in Illinois for reform of its
prison parole system. Sharp differ
ences of opinion have developed
here as a result of a campaign for
changes in a policy which, it is
claimed by one side, is responsible
for the premature release from
prison of too many unrehabilitated
criminals.
The other side of the question is
presented in a virogous defense of
the theory and practice of parole
by its many friends. Newspaper ac
counts "playing up” outstanding
oases of parole violation, they say,
have not facilitated a fair, dispas
sionate consideration of the prob
lem.
ifAVUOl M 1041 il CTUCU
It la likely, though, observers
agree, that out of the agitation will
come something of permanent good.
Either reforms will be shown to be
neeued and will be made, or the
system will be vindicated in such
a way as to serve as a proper model
for other states. Such a workable
model is needed before desired uni
formity among the states can be
attained.
Accounts of paroled convicts ar
rested in connection with other
crimes or for technical parole vio-;
lation, and pointed criticism of the
system, its administration, and the1
personnel of the parole board, have1
led to numerous conferences, hear- '
ings, and investigations, out of
which have oome a number of con-'
crete suggestions.
Proposals
Legislation proposed, or already
prepared few submission, includes
measures which would have one or
more of the following effects:
Abolish the parole board
Unit every inmate to one parole.
Establish a system of determine
ate instead of indeterminate aen-i
tenoes.
Change the parole board person
nel.
Provide for public hearings of pa
role cases.
Provide for announcement of each
parole.
The granting of paroles now Is,
known only to prison officials and
the parole board, and of course the
parolee and his sponsors sr>d

friends.
Cmm
Almost dally, pieces such as the
following have appeared in the
newspapers, serving to stir public
and official interests:
“Bruno Testka, sentenced to Pon
tiac Dec. 10, 1917, for burglary; pa
roled Sept 14, 1919; returned for
violation Oct. 21, 1920; paroled again
Dec. 20, 1921; returned again for
violation Dec. 16, 1923; returned a
third time Nov. 11, 1924; paroled a
fourth time Dec. 21, 1927; arrested
again while intoxicated."
All arrests in Chicago have been
watched to determine whether the
defendants have ever been paroled
from prison. What appear to be sen
sational revelations have been of
fered as of the need for drastic ac
tion. Proponents of the parole sys
I tern, though, Insist that these ac
counts have offered a very one-sided
picture.
While complete abolition of the
parole board la urged by a few, ln
I eluding the Chicago Tribune, It Is
the application or aamlnlstration
of the system, and In some cases the
I attitude or ability of the Individual
| members of the board, that are
' most criticized.
Proponents of the parole system
I admit the primary need for compe
j tent administrators, wholly free of
! political Influence. There Is unanl
1 mous opinion among experts here
that the system will work with able
overseers under the Indeterminate
sentence plan, and that the criminal,
and thus society, in the long run
will be benefited.
