STATE NEEDsA
REFORMATORY
INJUSTICE TO PLACE ALL
CLASSES In ONE
INSTITUTION

Pierre, Feb 3.-South Dakota S
most pressing need in care of her
criminally inclined and wayward citi-
zens is not ANEW penitentiary or an
addition to the present institution
although that is crowded to capacity,
but reformatory, accordig to C. B.
Powers. ofChamberlain, state parole
officer.
Such an institution Mr. Powers
planned. would be for first offenders
and for men and women of younger
years who have not become hardened
criminals.
Under present conditions with but
the one institution for people of all
classes who have been convicted of
crimes, the state works an injustice
upon the young man or woman who
in an unthinking moment has violat-
ed the laws of the state, Mr.. Powers
says. They are thrown in with cal
losed criminals, murderers, robbers
and people who are habitually inclin-
ed to do evil.
Through close association and con-
finement with that class these young
er ones are themselves demoralized
instead of being taught the better
side of life.
"Of course it will probably be a
few years before financial condi-
tions will permit the legislators to
consider adding to our penal insti-
tutions," Mr.. Powers said, "but when
that time comes / earnestly hope they
will give strong consideration to the
reformatory idea.
