Three girls who escaped from Arohata borstal on December 23 were given extensions to their terms of detention when they appeared for sentence in the Magistrate's Court at Lower Hutt today They were Mary Nichols, aged 18, Mary Tatana, aged 18, and Judith Maureen Carberry, aged 19. Nichols and Tatana had admitted breaking out of a penal institution with violence and Carberry had pleaded guilty to escaping. All three admitted charges of theft, conversion and housebreaking. “Use your common sense apd see the stupidity of having your terms increased.” Mr J. R. Drummond, S.M. told them Violence must be punished, and any further breaches were likely to lead to long terms of imprisonment.
The extended detention imposed on the major offences was six months in the cases of Nichols and Carberry and 12 months for Tatana, bringing their maximum terms of detention to five years for Nichols and four years and a half for the other two
