BASKRRVILI.R, Raleieh, Nov. 2—Better classifica tion. Pnd segregation of prisoners in the North Carolina prison system is one of the principal needs and will be undertaken at once. Acting Direc tor Oscar Pitts, of the prison division of Stte Highway and Public Works Commission said today follow ing his return from the national con vention of the American Prison Asso ciation in Atlanta, said today. I f At fbe present time the only effort to classify and segregate 'pci-oners is among those convicted of felonies and sentenced to the State Prison and this consists mostly in segregating the vounrpr, first term prisoners from the older, more hardened convicts, Pitts pointed out. “I am convinced, however, that we should do more ‘o classify prisoners both with regard to trades and abil ity and their attitude, as well as se gregate them according to ages.” Pitts said. “I am also convinced we should carry this work into the class of prisoners convicted only of mis demeanors, and not limit it only to those convictrft of felonies. With as many different prison camps as we ’*'w have. I think we can carry this program throughout the entire pri son system, including the misdemean ants. at virtually no additional er pense.” It is impossible to hope or expect first offenders and youngsters to re form if they are going to be placed in the same p \son or same camp with th« hardened, experienced criminals. Pitts said. If this is done, their pri son terms become nothing hut post graduate courses in crime and they are more of a menace to society when released than when first sent to pri son. Pitts pointed out. But if the younger prisoners and those with a hopeful and cooperative attitude can be segregated from the older and morn hardened criminals, many of can undoubtedly be reformed and sent back to society as construc tive citizens. Lack of money and of facilities has made this work almost impossible in the past. But Pitts believes it can be undertaken at very slight cost. I MJ Forms of INSURANCE 1 RENTALS REAL ESTATE Al, R.
