for a life of self-respect and law
abiding citizenship, with the promise
of friendship and assistance from the
board and the parole officers so long
as he walks the street called
Straight"
But some Of the decisions were
not favorable-many of them-and
the prisoners were brought back, not,
however, to be dismissed merely with
the refusal of the board to grant
the parole, but to be shown how they
still bad the opportunity to make
good, and to cut short the term of
Imprisonment, even if it took an
other year to do it. Some were up
a second time for consideration who
had followed such advice given a
year ago.
This parole work was organized
in April, 1920. Up to June, 1921,
there we're III prisoners put under
parole supervision, and of that
number 603 we're reported satisfac-
tory at the time of the expiration
of their period of supervision or
death. This is a percentage of
84.1 of the whole number; the re-
naming ia, or 15.9 per cent, which
are shown as unsatisfactory, in
clude 80 that are out of touch with
the parole officers, many of whom
will be found not to have violated
their paroles, except that they have
changed their employment without
permission.
These figures will indicate the
scrupulous care with which the
board has maintained an even bal
'ance between the consideration of
the welfare of the prisoners and its
responsibility to safeguard the com
munity.

any cause for discussion, any
chance for a difference Of opinion,
the prisoner was dismissed from the

by the committee.
A favorable decision brought the
convict back to be questioned still
further in regard to the possibilities
of his finding suitable work, in re-

was ready at hand-and almost all
with clean prison records were well
provided with letters from friends,
relatives or employers, the chairman
of the board, E. S, Tachau, or the
commissioner of Institutions, Joseph
P. Bters, told the prisoner that the
board would recommend to the gov
ernor that he be paroled, and that if
the recommendation was accepted,
and the parole officers was satisfied,
after the investigation with the con-
ditions that would surround him
during the period of his supervision,
