- Title
YOUTH CORRECTION: READMISSION OF REHABILITATED OFFENDERS TO SOCIETY.
- Authors
BATES, SANFORD
- Abstract
The article focuses on the readmission of rehabilitated offenders to society. It highlights the failure of parole which is described as a form of conditional discharge of an offender from prison which presupposes an ensuing period of control and supervised residence in the community. It discusses a talk show on radio by former U.S. Attorney General Homer S. Cummings titled "They All Come Out." It discusses a study by Sheldon Glueck and E. T. Glueck related to the lack of success for the reformatory method. The findings indicate that 60 percent of the graduates of a reformatory in an Eastern U.S. State slipped back into crime within five years of their release.
