Prison Reform in Auburn and the Law Enforcement Debate
The Times argues the core issue in Auburn prison is whether punishment or reform should guide penology.

It criticizes efforts to discredit the league and calls for measured study by the national commission on law enforcement. It also warns against police and government overreach including telephone snooping and urges Attorney General Mitchell to restrain espionage.
