English Prison Reform Urged In Commons Speech
London July 20 In the House of Commons Winston Churchill home secretary outlined sweeping prison reforms to be launched partly by administrative order and partly by new bills. The aim is humanitarian treatment, longer payment times for fines, and to replace imprisonment for non payment with disciplinary or curative methods for youths and minor offenders. Political offenders like passive resisters and suffragettes would gain privileges such as conversation and better meals, while solitary confinement would be cut to one month and the ticket of leave and police supervision for released convicts abolished. The plan also includes welfare measures for released prisoners and winter lectures or concerts in convict prisons.
