Brought BY Prisoners at RI. Madison
Way TO Determine Powers u Board.
: Special to Times Republican,.
Des Moines. Feb. 21.1The attorney
general Will have upon his department
the duty of defending the action
brought at Fort Madison by prisoners
to have declared null and void the Per-
kins law under which the order for
sterilization of inmates Of certain state
institutions has been issued.
II" state board oil parole issued or
ders some tine ago for action in about
NIFTY cases. Some Of these were habit
uai and degenerate criminals, some
were insane persons and some of them
verc victims of epilepsy. None Of the
inmates at Glenwood nave beer given
orders.
I'VE are very glad that the suit has
been brought and the law is to be
tested out at once" said the thre.
members of the parole board In unison
1t was for the legislature to decide on
the policy Of the state and for our
board to do Its duty under the law. But
1t is very desirable to have all legal
questions disposed Of before we pro-
coed very far. There vii! be strong
opposition to enforcement of the lay,
that Is certain, and q feeling prevails
that 1t is interfering with some rights.
But really the very purpose Of the law
is to give opportunity for restoring
rights to certain inmates. For instance.
an insane person may be SO that it
would be entirely safe to return him to
mis- friends and give him his liberty pro.
vided the state could be assured that
no harm could come to society by I'M
posing defective posterity upon the
state: yet unless this assurance is CIV
en- 1t would be necessary to permanent
~ and for all time deprive certain per-
sons of their liberty not alone as pun
ishment but as a protection to society.
and for the safeguarding Of posterity.
But we want to know just what rights
are involved"
1t Is known that as a matter of fact
at one of the state institutions the OBJ
erations contemplated in the law have
Deen performed on a number OF pa
tients even without the slaw and with
results entirely satisfactory. ase
In one eastern state the courts have
held a similar law valid Is It relates to
criminals. while in another a similar
law has been held invalid as relates TO
epfleptics. on the sole ground, however.
that 1t did not apply to all epileptics
alike.
