State Penal System Gets
Lambasting From Speaker
Oregon's penal and correction sys
tem was lambasted In vigorous
terms In a talk before the Klwanls
club here yesterday by Mrs. Claire
A. Argow, executive secretary of the
Oregon Prison association.
She charged that Oregon's system
Is not correctional in any real sense
of the term, but It's making con
flrrffed criminals out of youths and
men who could be saved through
a proper program.
The blast of criticism fired by
Mrs. Araow beffan at the count v
Jail level and Included the Wood
burn training school and the state
prison.
She urged citizens to support a
movement for new and Improved
prison facilities, more probation, and
an adequate child welfare program.
She said the movement for nrlann
reform was aet back by failure of
several Important bills in the last
legislature, and proposed that pres
sure be brought on legislators before
the next esslon to prevent a re
currence of that failure.
Klamath s county Jail, she re
minded her listeners, didn't fare
very well In the ratings by the Na
tional Prison association recently
announced. She said there Is need
for a full-time matron (or women
prisoners In the county Jails, and
um enoru anouia oe maae
throughout the penal system to pro
vide prisoners with opportunity for
dally work.
8he described the effect of soli
tary confinement on youths In the
training school at Woodburiu, and
asserted there Is need for more
wholesome recreation for the boys
there. "I don't see how we can ex
pect youngsters to go through ado
lescence without baseball," she com
mented. Mrs, Argow also told of the "hole,"
which Is the synonym for solitary
confinement at the stale prison. She
described Insanitary conditions at
the prison, and of restrictions there
that she said tend to make men
into animals instead of humans.
Need for a technical and spiritual
consultation service for prisoners
and a training school for Inmates
was discussed by Mrs. mow.
The present Dronrnm of the s
sociatlon represented by the Kl
wanls speaker has as Its main program:
To inform the public about Ore
gon's crime and Its control.
To makt surveys and collect In
formation regarding crime.
To collect and disseminate Infor
mation on modern methods and
new projects.
To provide a technical consul
tation service.
To secure progressive social legis
lation. Circuit Judge David R. Vanden
berg of Klamath county Is a mem
ber of the board of directors of
