ton for first offenders.
Three hundred and fifty Of the in
mates at the reformatory now are
first offenders. Many are mere youths
not criminals at heart-who in q
moment of weakness violated some
law. Penal officials believe they
should be given another chance to
"go straight" rather than imprisoned
with case hardened criminals who
have passed the stage Of rehabilita-
ton.
Col. Peak believes many Of these
first offenders are contaminated by
the veterans of prison life. Some OF
! those at the reformatory have been
imprisoned 10 times before. When
these first offenders are released after
a long period of association with the
hardened criminals, he said. they

more uniform sentences and make
a more careful study of the history
