Prison Wrong Place For Many,
Judge Hobgood Declares
Half of those now serving terms in
prison ought not to be there at all,
Superior Court Judge Hamilton
Hobgood told lawyer's wives at a 12th
Judicial District Legal Auxiliary meeting
here Thursday.
"We need alternatives to prison
within the community," Judge
Hobgood said.
Hobgood said building community
facilities would be no more costly than
maintaining the present 12,500 prison
population.
Hobgood has been active in prison
reform since 1970 when he was
appointed to a state bar association
penal study commission. Since then, he
said he has devoted most of his
weekends to the project.
He spoke to lawyer's wives from
Cumberland and Hoke Counties at a
luncheon held in the fellowship hall of
the Presbyterian Church.
Hobgood cited the changes made in
the juvenile detention system since the
commission study "As the Twig Is
Bent" was published several years ago.
"In 1970, we had 2,200 children in
eight training schools," he said. "Since
then, we have taken half of those out
and we now have fewer schools and
1,100 children in training school"
Hobgood said children are not being
sent to training school for such things as
missing school or running away from
home.
'Those who are in training school
now, for the most part, are those who
would be subject to a prison term if
they were 16 or over," he said.
There is only one women's prison in

the state, Hobgood noted. "If you want
to learn how to sew or do laundry, it's a
good place to go," he said.
Then there are 78 other prisons in the
state, holding 12,500 prisoners.
"That's a lot of prisons," he
remarked.
Hobgood estimated that of the men
serving prison terms, "500 are brutes.
They are dangerous not only to society
but to themselves. They'll kill each
other."
Of the remaining 12,000, he
estimated that 6,000 diould not be in
prison.
"But we don't have any community
alternatives," he noted.
Hobgood told of some of the
problems within the prison system and
some of the changes that have been
made.
"Last night, and every night a bunch
of young boys are sexually assaulted in
prison. They can't get away, they're
locked up," he told the lawyer's wives.
"We didn't send them there as animals."
He blamed public apathy for not
dealing with the problem.
"Have you ever been in one of those
dormitory prisons. You have 50 beds
this close together on each side. You've
got a lock on the door and one guard
outside. He can't go in there, he'd be
signing his death warrant. You've got
maybe four guards out around the place
and a sergeant of the guards.
"They just contain the prisoners.
They don't look after them," the judge
said.
However some improvements have
been made, he said.
"We've Anally gotten two camps for
the retarded. Lots of prisoners have IQs
of 50 or 60. Put them in with others
and some of the prisoners will stick
cigarettes all over their bodies just to
hear them holler."
The new facility at Morganton is a
great improvement, Hobgood said.
There, men are housed in individual
rooms that can be locked at night.
"Only the guard can get into them,"
he said.
One of the recent innovations the
judge cited is a student release program
under which 125 prison inmates have
enrolled in colleges across the state.
Hobgood blamed the post-war baby
boom and permissive society for the
large number of persons in prison.
"But I have great hope for the
future," he said. "I'm not pessimistic at
all because though we're taking short
steps, if we keep going, maybejwe can
take giant steps in the future* **
