Releasing Prisoners on Probation Questioned
The Attorney General outlined a possible probation release system to keep wage earners at home under a counsellor rather than a policeman. Proponents say it spares families hardship from imprisonment, while critics note charity groups and the State rarely see relief for destitute families. In cases where the husband is jailed, wives and children often endure silence rather than seek State aid.
