Wunsch cites wealthy relatives securing prison releases in Kansas
Kansas State Senator Paul Wunsch told a Rotary Club crowd that inmates with rich relatives have been able to leave the state penitentiary and reformatory when they should not. He urged a separate parole board to judge parole requests and manage all transfers, asserting governors currently control pardons via the penal board. Wunsch praised the Hutchinson State Reformatory but called education a major shortcoming due to low pay for instructors, noting many inmates are illiterate. He also criticized conditions at the State Women's Farm for lacking wash basins and toilets and called for more educational facilities.
