Habitual criminals and the indeterminate sentence law
Secretary Butler reports on the indeterminate sentence and parole law enacted in 1897. In four years it applies to the state prison and Jeffersonville reformatory. Of 1,141 paroled, 156 returned for parole violations. Paroled men earned $181,934.87 and final discharge funds totaled $436,928.43. About 16 percent failed to lead proper lives after release. the system keeps offenders longer, and parole is unpopular with habitual criminals seeking outside-state tickets. A table shows parole figures from 1897 to 1901 for reformatory and prison.
