State Prison Board May Be Changed
Gov. Grant Sawyer said he will ask the 1965 legislature to initiate a constitutional amendment to alter the State Prison Board. The Osborne and Associates survey urged more lay members and full-time oversight, plus more staff and facilities and an end to gambling inside the walls. Sawyer noted staffing gains already planned as new state buildings rise, with boys and girls schools receiving adequate staff and parole and probation services prioritized next year.
