Instead Of Crime

Big penal reforms are to be introduced by Sir Samuel Hoare, the Home Secretary, in a new Bill in the House Commons this session.

Important clauses will provide for the abolition "penal servitude" as it is known to-day and for abolition of the present "ticket-of-leave" system.

the

Designed primarily to deal with the problem of persistent offenders, who form two-thirds of the total prison population, the Bill is being framed on recognition of the fact that the bulk of offenders are neither reformed nor deterred by the present penal and prison system.

́FITTING THE OFFENDER

The now Bill aims al:

Making the sentence At the

offender rather than the crime.

Fitting offenders by training and treatment to take a useful and normal place in secisty after their release.

It also provides for a new system or release on licence for prisoners who respond to the methods of treat- ment and show signs that they will abstain from crime in the future.
