Not only is 1t foolish and wasteful
to set criminals free unless they have
had a change OF heart, but human ex-
perience shows that usually the prop
er setting for a career of reform is
right at home, where the offenders
past is known, and where he can
best make amends for the wrong
he has done.
There would be sound sense as
well as mercy in pardoning prisoners
on condition that they go ahead and
make good in the same community
where they committed their crimes.
That is, provided the community it
self would give them a fair chance.
