Standards The Oregon state penitentiary, along with many county and city Jails, are far below par, when measured by federal standards, according to a report prepared by the United States bureau of pris ons, at the request of a 1943 leg islative interim committee appoint ed to investigate Oregon's penal institutions. The federal report declared that the penitentiary plant has inade quate housing and lacks many modern facilities, and lacks segre gation and education for the in mates. Senator Frank Hilton, Portland, chairman of the Oregon legislative interim committee, said his group also had prepared a report on the prison and jail situation in Oregon which probably will be released early next week. Hilton said his committee also found the Oregon penitentiary and some city and county jails lacking in many fa cilities when compared with sim ilar institutions in other neighbor ing states. A group of Salem citizens, rep resenting the Salem chamber of commerce and long-range planning committee, recently proposed to the state board of control that the present penitentiary property be sold and a new institution be con structed in the country some dis tance from the city. The report from the United States bureau of prisons may have a tendency, officials indicated, to relocate the penitentiary without long delay. Hilton said his com mittee would recommend reloca tion of the prison. No blame is directed at the prison officials who, it was said, are doing the best they can with the facilities they have at hand.
