Correctional Institution aims
at reform of youthful inmates
(Editor's Note: This article is
the third in series on state
Institutions, by Ha S. Grant,
Bulletin staff writer. The series
is presented as a public educa
tion feature.)
By Ha S. Grant
Bulletin Staff Wrlttr
A young first offender, com
mitted from Deschutes county for
car Uieft, entered the Oregon
State Correctional Institution at
Salem in a soiled plaid shirt and
well-worn levis. He needed a hair
cut, and a ducktail at the nape
of his neck brushed his collar.
I saw him again later that day,
by chance, awaiting an interview
for classification and the begin
ning of a rehabilitation program
designed to return him to the
community in a productive capa
city as a law-abiding citizen.
He had been suited up in trim
khaki pants and shirt, not unlike
a military uniform. His brown
hair, still tousled and damp from
the shower, later that day would
be neatly cut in the Institution's
barber shop. Earlier, he had
lunched on well-prepared food.
The menu tliat day (the same
as in the staff dining room, where
I ate) consisted of spaghetti with
meat sauce, tossed salad, home
style green beans with bacon,
French bread baked in the insti
tution's bakery, margarine, fruit
gelatin and coffee.
Latest Addition
The Correctional Institution,
which became operational May
26, 1959, with the transfer
of 79 first offender inmates from
Oregon State Penitentiary, is the
latest addition to the adult cor
rectional program of the state. It
is being watched by other states,
and is partly responsible for the
interest being generated in Ore
gon's enlightened approach to
penology.
The first court - committed in
mates were received on July 1,
1939. Since that time, the institu
tion has almost constantly been
filled to capacity, something
around 290. There are 294 young
men there today.
Many judges, even though they
know the institution is overcrowd
ed, continue to send there first-
offenders whom Uiey sentence.
They know that if anything can
rehabilitate these, young men, the
Correctional Institution will.

Preference is given to male
persons under 26 years of age.
A first offendor cannot be com
mitted to the Institution if his first
felony conviction is for murder,
rape-by-force, or treason.
The Institution has a well-rounded
program of guidance, work,
education, medical care, adequate
diet, vocational training, optional
religious services and employ
ment placement. The living facil
ities consist of two basic types of
construction close custody units
and medium custody units.
The close custody units, for
newly - received inmates and
those classified as requiring strict
surveillance, are constructed with
the cells arranged on the inside
wall willi an open area between
the cell and the outside wall of
the unit to allow the custodial per
sonnel the greatest opportunity to
observe the inmate during the
time he spends in the housing unit.
When the inmate has adjusted
to Uie living program of the In
stitution and has made sufficient
progress in his individualized pro
gram, he may be transterred to
one of the medium custody units.
These are constructed with the
cells arranged on the outside wail
of the unit, with an open area in
the center.
Each Person Tested
Each person entering the Insti
tution is tested for his level of
achievement in formal academic
schooling. Those below the fifth
grade level are required to attend
classes to complete mis require
ment. Education beyond that level
is on a voluntary self - improve
ment basis for each inmate. In
mates are not excused from regu
lar work assignments in order to
attend classes. Correspondence
courses are available beyond the
high school level.
Upon admittance to the Institu
tion, each inmate undergoes a
complete medical and dental
examination, and his program is
planned and continued with con
sideration for any physical limita
tions he may have. Any needed
dental work is done immediately
following the original examina
tion, and a program of oral health
is outlined and continued. In addi
tion to the medical and dental
programs, a consulting psyema-
trist is retained to assist in psy-
choloeical adjustments. Medical
specialists are available when re
quired.
The vocational education pro
gram is designed to prepare the
inmate for suitable employment
upon his release from the Institu
tion. Initially, six trades are be
ing taught: barbering, radio and
television repair, typewriter and
office machine repair, and three
culinary trades: cooking, meat
cutting and baking.
Other trades will be added when
facilities permit. The Institution
is dependent upon appropriations
from the State Legislature for ex
pansion. A part-time Protestant chaplain
and a part-time Catholic chaplain
conduct the religious program,
and each inmate is urged to par
ticipate. Religion within the In
stitution is integrated into the
everyday lfe of the inmate and
is not set apart formally. Men
with liquor problems are encour
aged to participate in the Alco
holics Anonymous program.
A few months prior to the pa
role or release date of each in
mate, tlie classification commit
tee refers his case to the em
ployment placement officer. When
men are not able to obtain jobs
through correspondence or family
and friends, this staff member
finds jobs and seeks to prepare
the employer to deal constructive
ly with the man who is being released.
Squier at Helm
The entire program is under di
rection of P. J. Squier, superin
tendent, who has been at the hebn
since the Institution's beginning.
He was called in by the Board
of Control as advisor to the archi
tect Retired from federal serv
ice, he was warden at McNiel
Penitentiary in Washington for 15
years, and during his service
there, he was the youngest war
den in the federal penal system.
He came to Oregon from Monroe
Reformatory in Washington,
where he was superintendent five
years.
"The stale is hopeful and confi
dent the program of the Oregon
Correctional Institution will result
in greater success in the efforts to
reform individuals who by their
conduct in society have demon
strated a need for correction,"
Superintedent Squier says matter-of-factly.
Law enforcement officers, judges
and the general public have rea
son to believe that his hopes and
confidence are well-founded.

Servicemen
kept on duty
WASHINGTON (UPI - The
active duty tours of Navy men
and Marines were extended indef
initely Wednesday with the U.S.
arms blockade of Cuba going into
full force.
There was immediate specula
tion that an early next step could
be orders freezing Army and Air
rorce men on active duty beyond
normal expiration of their tours.
And if the blockade becomes
a protracted operation, the odds
would heavily favor a call-up of ,
some reservists under authority -
voted President Kennedy by Con
gress on Oct 3.
Effective at 4 a.m., EDT, Navy
Secretary Fred Korth ordered ex
tended duty for all Navy men
and Marines whose tours would
have expired before next Feb. 28.
They may be held on active serv
ice for as much as an extra 12
months.
The Navy indicated approxi
mately 50,000 men could be af
fected, i
Defense Secretary Robert ' S.
McNamara announced Tuesday
night the plans to hold Navy and
Marine personnel on duty, and
Korth put the orders into effect
this morning.
McNamara said "we are taking
no steps at the present lime to"
call up reservists." But events
were moving swiftly and no one
was ruling out a later call-up.
SEEKS ACTION
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Rep.
Chet Holifield, D-Calif., chairman
of the joint committee on atomic
energy, Wednesday asked Prcsi--dent
Kennedy to renew his ef
forts to get congressional action
on a civil defense program.
Angry minister
goes to jail
PORTLAND (UPI) - A Eugene
minister, angered by confusing
traffic signs, spent four hours in
jail rather than pay a $3 traffic
fine here.
Rev. Raymond R. Cronk, a
Seventh Day Adventist minister,
appeared Monday before Munici
pal Judge J. J. Labadie after be
ing cited for driving against traf
fic on a one-way street Sept. 30.
He pleaded Euilty but offered
"extenuating circumstances" in
his defense. He cited "inadequate
and confusing traffic signs and
said he was an out-of-town driver
trying to find his way at night
The judge fined him $10 and
lowered it to $3. The Rev. Mr.
Cronk declined to pay the fine
and spent four hours in jail from
about 4 p.m. until about 8 p.m.
.He was allowed to serve the
"sentence" in the jail chaplain's
office rather than a cell.
The minister said he believed
a warning ticket would have been
enough.
