FAVOR PAROLING
life PRISONERS
increasing Sentiment for It Is Indi.
Gated Among Pathological
Authorities
By Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, October 2.-The Ameri
can Prison Congress, which was re-
Gently in session at Seattle. took up
the question of paroling life prisoners,
and the discussion, following the ia
vorable report of committee appoint
ed last year to deal with teh subject
indicated that there is, among peno
logical authorities, an increasing will
ingness to extend the. parole system
Canada is applying it generously. an
interview with the Dominion parole
officer showing that about 400 CON
victs are now being released each year
on ticket-of-leave. During the past 10
years 2.515 prisoners have been so
released and it appears that less than
per cent of the licenses have been
cancelled for noncompliance with the
terms of the parole and less than per
cent have been forfeited by a sub
sequent conviction for crime.
There is no very convincing evil
dence as to the permanent effect of
this leniency; the system has been in
operation hardly long enough to yield
statistics; but Canadian records seem
to show that the percentage of pris-
oners who return to the penitentia
ries after having served out their sen
fences is larger than that of those who
come back after having enjoyed pa
role privileges.
