BORSTAL INSTITUTIONS
"There is a feeling in the community that detention in the Borstal institutions does not do offenders any moral good," declared Mr. J. K. Moloney, counsel for a youth who appeared for sentence in the Christchurch Supreme Court on Monday morning on a charge of shop-breaking, reports the "Press." Mr. Moloney had previously stated that the prisoner's family had asked him to make representations that the youth should not be sent to a Borstal institution, and his Honour Mr. Justice Northcroft asked if he had any knowledge why such a request should be made. "That was the request I was asked to bring forward," said Mr. Moloney, "and I felt it my duty to do so."
