Parole Bill Aims to Free Life Prisoners on Review
Washington August 4 Special Senator Bacon received a strong letter from Attorney General Wickersham urging the Howard parole bill. The measure, passed by the House and now before the Senate, would extend parole to about 200 life prisoners and promote indeterminate sentences as a parole adjunct. The Attorney General cites reform groups and prison scholars supporting parole to balance deterrence with public safety while stressing fifteen years as a typical parole milestone.
