  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/March 27,1980/Page 3 By Pat Rogers The Right Line ACQNKBfRlft Until recently I was a strong supporter of clear-cut prison reform. I believed strongly in such programs as rehabilitation, education, and simple wages for prison inmates. I fell that this institution should try to correct and also benefit each individual whom society had intrusted to the prison. I must say, however, that recent events at the New Mexico State Penitentiary have caused me to review my prison ideology. New Mexico State Penitentiary showed me the type of animal that inhabits these institutions. I say animal because what human being would devastate other human beings by decapitation, cutting off arms and legs, burning away faces, and driving steel spikes through the skull? Sure this was not the work of the whole prison population but those who did not take part directly, did stand by and let it happen. Are they not at fault as well? To have prison reform, there first must be a population of prisoners that can be worked with directly and efficiently. This calls for some sort of screening of criminals. Each prisoner could then be scrutinized and directed to a penitentiary according lo his abilities and quite possibly according to his sanity. I say sanity because I believe there is a small population of menially disturbed prisoners In each institution, as was evidenced at New Mexico Slate Penitentiary. I suppose that what 1 am calling for is a system of segregation for prisons. This would give opportunity to those criminals who could further benefit society. It would give opportunity to those who could be rehabilitated and educated and placed back into society. Il would weed oul the elements that destroy a prisons ability to work. It would possibly stop the effect that some prisons have of turning a criminal into a "hardened criminal." As a free man It is quite easy lo sll back and say "lock them up and throw away Ihe key!" But as a tax payei one must look at the cost of throwing away the key and the cost of rebuilding such prisons as New Mexico State, and compare il to the cost of rehabilitation. A rehabilitated prisoner is worth more to society than a caged animal is. The True View By Lee Grant For the first time I can honestly say that I agree with you Mr. Rogers, that something must be done. The only problem is that it is hard to say what should be done right now. We do not have all of the facts about what caused the riots. What turned the inmates into animals. Were the Inmates who mutilated the others mass murderers, drug pushers or what? Were they driven to violence through poor living conditions and overcrowding or was it just a spontaneous act? If you saw the movie "Attica," based on the book by Tom Wicker |who will be a guest speaker here March 27] you will remember that the movie showed how the prisoners were pushed to rebellion. This portrayal of the Inmates side of the story would In all probability not have been shown ten years ago when it actually happened. Of the people killed all were killed by the national guardsmen. The prisoners in "Attica" were driven to rebellion by overcrowding, poor living conditions and reports of the guards stealing their wages. The movie also pointed out that nol all of the inmates were involved In the riot. You say that those who were opposed to the New Mexico killings should have stopped them. I don'l think that I would want to try to stop a crazed man with a blow torch who has already killed. I do believe thai rehabilitation can be successful. This should be coupled with stronger laws. By this I mean capital punishment. The Casey's and Manson's of the U.S. should not become one of the taxpayers burdens. Prison reform Is needed, segregation could be a way of helping to rehabilitate those who can be rehabilitated. It should be made perfectly clear however that taking ones life will result In forfeiting your own. Still let us not judge the criminals until all of the facts are in. We must make sure that what wc arc doing Is morally right instead of an act of vengence or an attempt to clear our conscious for letting this event happen. CANCER CAN BE BEAT.
