Shock Treatment Is Working Says Judge Cramer
Judge Fred B. Cramer of Middletown defended Butler County's shock treatment probation plan noting an 87 percent local success in 1970 and saying the fear of returning to prison drives reform. He argued probation provides rehabilitation with fulltime officers, automatic pre sentence investigations, and returns offenders to society as usable citizens. He disputed Chief Howerton's claim that crime rises due to parole, emphasizing economic and social causes and the value of probation as a tool for society protection.
