Ohio Prohibition Fueled Crime Rise Says Welfare Chief
Ohio Welfare Director John E. Harper told Governor Donahey that prohibition did not curb crime and may have increased it since the Crabbe act. He cites 16,525 felons admitted across four prisons since its enactment and a rise from 3,687 inmates in 1920 to 6,883 in 1927, noting poor law enforcement in rural counties and few high class bootleggers. He argues imprisonment as deterrence has failed and calls prison reform lagging crime.
