Albany Governor proposes radical parole and sentence reforms

Smith meets with the New York State Crime Commission to discuss shifting sentencing away from judges to a new board of psychiatrists and criminalologists with salaries of at least 25000. He also calls for abolishing the parole board and replacing it with a full time administrative board including the state correction commission and prison warden.
