confinement OF an inmate Of q Fed
eral prison Is about 20 months. II
this confinement period were extended
to 40 months we would have to erect
twice as many institutions at a stag
gering cost. And II this were done 1t
would be very questionable whether
we had made any particular contri-
button to the solution Of our problem.
because after the 40-month period
had been served the prisoner would
still come out.
The Method Of Release.
But we are presented with q real
problem when it comes to the method
of release. The basic question is
this-shall q man leave prison SCOT
free or shall he come out under
supervision? We must not forget that
he has to undergo an adjustment
process. If people were to trace the
footsteps of the average man who
leaves prison today and goes in search
of employment in an effort to fight
his way back they would comprehend
some of the difficulties which the
prisoner faces in making this adjust
ment.
A. well-regulated parole system
whereby deserving prisoners may be
permitted to leave their cells before
the expiration of their terms, get
permanent work outside of the Jail
under the supervision of honest parole
officers, has its place in any scientific
program of crime prevention. Twen-
ty-five per cent of those who leave
the Federal institutions today go out
under parole. The small percentage
of those who fail Is a tribute to the
intelligent selection by the Federal
Parole Board and the conscientious
work of our Federal parole super
visors. The Department of Justice
rejects the idea that parole should be
used for clemency, as an opportunity
to review the sentence meted out by
the trial Judge, or for any purpose
except to provide scientific and
| helpful means Of rehabilitating those
cases in which reformation is possible
and where law abiding conduct may
reasonably be anticipated. When
parole systems do not do this they
cannot rightfully be called parole.
Release without supervision is not
parole. Our position is simply this

It has been necessary in these re-

fundamental problems which face the

that in the administration of our

to make them places in which there
is hope rather than despair, work
