Penal panel urges limit five year prison terms nationwide
A National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice report calls for major reforms including a maximum five year sentence for most offenders, coed prisons, individual cells, no guard uniforms or weapons where possible, better pay for guards and prisoners, and constitutional rights for inmates. It proposes a 25 year standard for persistent felony offenders or dangerous defendants, with longer terms for murderers. The report also seeks to end jury sentencing by 1975 and advance prisoner integration into state systems by 1982, led by Judge Joe Frazier Brown and former Delaware Governor Russell W. Peterson.
