Prisoners Aid
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, Nov. 30.
People such as tradesmen, labourers and watersiders, who would talk the same language as most prison inmates, should be encouraged to join groups like the Prisoners’ Aid and Rehabilitation Society, the Secretary for Justice (Dr. J. L. Robson) said last night. All classes provided their share of prison inmates, he told the annual meeting of the Auckland branch of the society, but middle-class people would find it hard to get close to most inmates.
In the borstals 75 per cent of the boys came from working • class homes.
“If they are going to get close to those boys, people should come from the sort of homes the boys come from,” he said.
