Ever Been to Prison?
If yen had a boy between 16 and
21 years of age who got into ser
ious trouble for the first time, a
boy who had lots of good qualities,
and he would have, if he were your
boy, but a boy who made a big
mistake and was being sentenced
to prison, would you want him
sent to a place wljere he would
have to associate with the worst
criminals —- murderers, thieves,
hardboiled men who would influ
ence him to follow in their foot
steps? Would you want your boy
to have that kind of association?
If your bey should be caught in
a mess that would involve a prison
sentence wouldn’t you rather send
him to a Junior Prison Camp,
where only young men under 21
are sent for their first offense, a
prison where he would be under
the direction of higher type of
men who would seek to redeem
your boy so that he could live a
better life when he should get out
of prison. Judge Will Pless thinks
that a Junior Prison Camp prop
erly supervised for first offenders,
will go far toward reducing crime
and redeeming young criminals
befefie they become of age. If you
have an^ ideas on the subject, go
to the Parish House on Wednes
day evening at 8 o’clock and attend
a public meeting to dismiss plans
to start a movement to persuade
the prison officials to make the
necessary changes that will seg
regate hardened criminals from the
first offenders.
The public is invited to this
meeting which is being sponsored
by the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs.
