Gentile June 28. Ford Bates, longtime director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, questioned if Americans punish too harshly and if prison buildup reduces crime. He cited that six times as many men are sent to prison in the U.S. as in England, urged broader parole systems, and noted women’s prisons show higher parole success. Few current arrests are on parole, Bates said, from the 1910 to 1935 crime trends.
