contempt of court and sentenced them to

attempt is made to separate first offenders

WHAT WE CAN Do
by Joseph n. Ulznan

by Joseph n. Ulzaaan
JSdss Of tke Supreme Bench, soifmo.s, Nd.
(The conditions rereded tn this article are
so startling that the editors of THIS WEEK
hare asked one Of Americas foremost Jurists
how they can be cured Here is his answerl
l. Fewer detentiors. 4 more thorough
investigation of youthful offe nders would
permit the release of many boys in the
employers.
2. Segregation of young offenders from
hardened criminals during detention.
). Prompter trials. This can be accom-
plished by setting up special courts for
youths or by reorganizing existing courts.
1t can also be furthered by giving the
judge power to speed up investigation
and time of trial.
4. Simpler trials. The legal procedure
should be simplifed to the utmost to
make it an inquiry that is seeking for
truth, rather than gladiatorial contest
between lawyers.
). A way whereby the court can en-
phasize the judgment of guilt rather
than the length of sentence.
b. A system to control the training and
treatment of youthful offenders after
conviction.
We must have a criminal justice in
which Naturalization Of treatment
will be the keynote, the rehabilitation of
the prisoner primary aim. and the pro-
lection Of society the ultimate objective.

tice, which is now studying ways to improve
methods of handling young offenders.
There's nothing unique about shutting
those five window smashers in one cell, he
said. Il saw it myself once. two sleeping in
bunks two on the floor under them and one
in the middle of the floor That punishment
without trial. In fact the first offender often
gets worse punishment before he is sentenced
than afterWard.
I'VE hear much of prisons for convicted
criminals being schools of crime. Many are
indeed secondary schools, colleges and univer
sites of crime. But, worst of all. our law
enforcement system also provides primary
school that starts criminal training of thou
sands of boys year.
Our detention prisons and pens are those
primary schools of crime
Worst Possible Sfort
Dur aren't detention prisons necessary
evils?" asked.
NO." he denied emphatically. Many of
these boys should not be held in Jail at all
they should be released on their own recog
nizance, or in the care of parents, family
friends or employers - and if we had the
necessary funds to employ enough good social
workers. this could be done. Some detention
is necessary, but it doesn't need to be evil J
The way we do it now is evil. In trying to-
protect society by the correction of criminals |
ways we make the worst possible start by
Furnishing beginners before trial. We do that
all over the land"
He cited surveys by the New York State
Crime Commission Of some 4, 900 adolescents,
two-thirds first offenders. only 1000 had
their cases settled within five days. The rest
were jailed week to six months. Nine
of these youths, one survey showed, were too
poor to get bail and had to linger in detention.
Over half were finally declared innocent Only
a fourth were found actually deserving of
imprisonment.
