Britain’s Prison Reform
Methods Emptying Jails
LONDON, Aug. 29. (/P)—Probation
ary methods for adults and the “Bor
stal” treatment for young people
have been responsible for a marked
decrease in the population of British
prisons. So much so that more than
20 jails in England and Wales,' or
onedhird of the total, have been
closed since 1914. There are now
only about 40 prisons in use thruout
the country and these are not fully
occupied.
A Home Office official says that
fewer and fewer people are being
committed to prison because the
tendency now is to reform a man or
woman if it be all possible. The
increased use of probationary meth
ods has worked well and in the
opinion of the official the time is
not far distant when prisons will be
used for habitual criminals with
dhom all attempts at reform have
failed.
During the first few years of this
century approximately 500 out of
every 100,000 of the population were
sent to prison each year. Today the
percentage is just over 100 in the
100,000. The greatest drop has been
in convictions for drunkenness and
similar offenses.
