Shaping Up Slowly

then be the duty of the probation Of
ficers to keep a close cheek on each
person placed on probation and make
regular reports to the judge. If at any
time the person on probation fails to
live I'D to the terms of the probation
agreement and to maintain the stan
dard of good behavior required, it will
be the duty of the pro- alton officer
to so inform the judge, whereupon
the Judge can require the person on
probation to go to prison and serve
the sentence which has been suspend
ed while he was on probation
The probation law does not go into
effect until October 1, so that Direc-
tor Sample is going to spend most of
the time between now and that date
studying the probation system usei
by the Federal government and in
the 26 other states which have State
probation systems. He is planning to
go to Washington within the next
week, or so to study the Federal pro-
baton set-up, which is a division of
the Department of Justice. Later on
he expects to visit some of the states
regarded as having very successful
probation systems. He expects to
have the groundwork of his organiza-
ton laid and most of the district pro-
baton officers selected by October 1.
"Since so much depends upon the
kind of start we make and the type
of organization we are able to get
right at the start, / am determined
to proceed very slowly and only after
careful and thorough study of our
problem in the light of experience in
other states" Director Sample said,
For probation is essentially pro-
blem of human rehabilitation. Our
job is going to be to take men and
women, chiefly young men, who thro-
ugh some careless or thOughtleSS act
are on the very threshold of prison
and give them q chance to reform and
get right without having to go to
prison and get the stigma that at
taches to having been a prisoner, no
matter how short the sentence.
"As a result we are going to try
to select district probation officers
who will have a friendly, helpful at
titude towards those placed on pro-
baton and who will take a personal
interest in the probationers and en-
courage them to come to them for
help and advice. For in this way we
believe we can best help those on pro-
baton get back on their feet, regain
confidence in themselves and win
back their self-respect.''
When the probation system gets in
to full operation, which may require
a year or more, it should greatly re-
duce the prison population and thus
reduce the cost of maintaining tbs
prison division, Sample pointed out.
