Raleigh, Jan. 11.—"North Caro lina's system of probation and pa role has, in many instances, been scarcely more than a farce" up to this time, Supt. George Roes Pou, of State’s prison, states in his. bi ennial report, Just made public. In which he suggests an elaborate and complete system of parole. The weakness of the present system Is due to inadequate provisions for proper supervision of persons plac ed on probation or prisoners re leased on parole. The plan suggested embraces complete records of the offense, a uniform blank form for ap plication for paroles, statement' of "first friend" or advisor, report of the investigating officer. of the prison officials, conditions of the parole and a monthly report of the activities of the paroled prisoner. After service of one-half of his sentence, a prisoner might make application for parole, his case be ing dropped for six months, if pa role is not issued. The follow up phase is stressed more than any thing else In Mr. Pou’s suggestion. Prison population increased al most fourfold in 12 years, frpm 753 in 1920 to 2,908 in 1932, the report shows. The admissions for the year ending June 30, 1931, were 1540. and for the year ending June 30, 1932, they were 1336, the report shows.
