Parole Plan Abused Says State Senator Parole Plan Abused Says
State Sen. Paul Wunsch of Kingman told a Rotary Club the Kansas Penitentiary and Reformatory release practices are abused by inmates with wealthy relatives. He urged a separate state parole board to oversee all paroles and transfers, criticizing governor control and noting reforms needed at the State Prison in Lansing. Wunsch praised the State Reformatory at Hutchinson as well operated but lamented educational shortcomings and pay issues hindering instruction. He condemned Women’s Farm conditions as not as bad as some stories imply and called for improved facilities and education. The committee will inspect other prisons and invite penal authorities for recommendations.
