THE PRISONS
CONTROLLER-GENERAL -AND
CHIEF INSPECTOR,
(iX lELEORAPH.—PKESB ilflSOCIATIO!!.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Mr. C. E. Matthews has been appointed Controller-General of Prisons, and Mr. M. Hawkins has been promoted Chkf Inspector.
The appointments referred to above are the result of the Prisons Amendment Act passed last session. In explaining the change, the Minister said that in future the Prisons Department was to be run on the same lines as the Health Department; the administration of the Department was to be handed over to the Con-troller-General—formerly the Inspector of Prisons—to whom the various inspectors of prisons—new appointments—would be responsible. The Controller-General, it was explained, would be responsible to the Minister of Justice in the same way as the Inspector-General of Hospitals was responsible to the Minister of Public Health. The Amending Act provided that the then Inspector of Prisons should become Controller-General, and the De-puty-Inspector of Prisons an Inspector of Prisons.
