Show Question of Military Tax Exemptions being Studied Utahs state prison population is approaching the rated capacity of the prison, and preliminary studies are under way for an additional institution. At the same . 250-un- THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1976 Page Four it time, Utah's probation and parole staffs are carrying loads far heavier than those recommended by national authorities, and there are plans to increase the number of agents. Both of these programs will be expensive, it is pointed out by Utah Foundation, the private public service agency, in a research report released this week. The public rightfully demands to be protected from criminals, but inevitably is faced with the cost of providing tint protection," the Foundation notes. The proposed addition to the existing adult prison is being studied by the State Building Board at the request of the Utah Board of Corrections. Detailed cost estimates have not yet been made, but on the basis of studies recently made by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and by the State of Colorado, the cost of a modern 250-un- it prison may be expected to run from $97 million to $1074 million. The existing prison has a capacity of 800, and estimated replacement cost at today's prices is $30 million. A study recently completed by the John Howard Association of Chicago, under contract with the Utah Office of Legislative Research, reports that the average load for Utah's probation agents is three times the figure recommended by national corrections authorities, and the average load for parole agents is double the national standard. The Howard report recommends adding 200 more probation-parole agents to the 66.5 (fulltime equivalent) now employed, within the next two years. Cost of doing this would be in excess of $2 million a year, the Foundation points out. Utah correctional authorities think the Howard recommendation is unrealistic, and proposes a more modest program that would reduce the agents' workload 20 the first year and work toward meeting national standards over a longer period of time. Revolutionary changes in thinking on the subjects of prisons have developed within the last few years, the Foundation notes, and many penal authorities now are convinced that prisons cannot successfully rehabilitate a significant proportion of their inmates. Some authorities recommend that prison programs be directed at punishment rather than at rehabilitation. While all penologists do not non-prof- it MEN An articulation program agree with the new concept, there to achieve a smooth, signed on be to appears advancement in is two points: 1) that rehabilitation . near-consens- much more likely to occur in the under probation and community than behind parole program that some 2) and, walls; prison convicted criminals cannot be placed in the community without serious danger to society, and must be confined in prison as long as the law permits in order to protect the public. This indicates probable need for expanding facilities both in prisons and in probation-parol- e programs. Utah is one of a number of states which operate correctional programs under indeterminate sentence laws. A wide range is covered in a court sentence (e.g. five to twenty yers), and the exact time of a prisoners release is decided by a parole board. Some other states flat sentences, setting impose forth a specific time to be served, but providing time off for good behavior. California has adopted a program under an indeterminate sentence law, where prison authorities and the prisoner agree on a release date that cannot be advanced, but can be set bck if the inmate seriously violates prison rules. Utah prison authorities are closely following the California experience. The Foundation report notes that on a number of occasions, commission of a heinous crime in Utah has resulted in a special study and report aimed at corecting conditions which allowed the crime to be committed. Initial public reaction has been strongly supportive of such programs, but public support often has evaporated when faced with the problem of providing money to carry out recommendations in the reports. Utah correctional authorities recognize that their programs must compete for funds with important programs in many other areas of state government the Foundation notes. They do urge citizens to decide what they ae willing to pay for the control of crime and the protection of society. While eery effort should be made for efficiency of operation, the final factor in shaping a crime control program, correctional authorities assert, must be the adequacy of funds to carry it out. - WOMEN Where else can you learn the jobs listed below, and get paid while you learn?

' And it all started here in Utah. denon-repetitio- us vocation- education from high school to college is underway in a three-count- y headed by area Utah Technical College at Provo. This was announced this week by Dr. Dee Martin, vice president of Utah Tech, who conceived and instituted the program last Janu- ary. It has completed the first g phase of a training is and program beginning on the he said, with the aid of the State Board of Education and the Mountainlands Association of which has given their support in the counties of Utah, Wasatch and Summit over which it presides. Aim of the! program is to articulate or coordinate the vocational-techni- cal education programs be- tween high school and college level m the high schools of the three counties involved and Utah Technical College at Provo, said Dr. Martin. Thus, by the time a vocational- technical student reaches college he or she should be better prepared to take advantage of college training and should not have to go through as much beginning instruction now necessary in college. Emphasis, said Dr. Martin, will be placed on the open entry-exi- t system by the time the student reaches college, which is a concept of starting a student at any time not necessarily confining him or her to the rigid quarter or semester system letting the student absorb the material and advance as fast as possible, and exiting when he or she has received adequate training rather than serving out a st time period. Beginning last January, workshops and regular periodic meetings have been held by high school vocational-educationteachers in three-count- y the area, supervised by members of the Utah Tech at Provo faculty and occasionally con- suiting experts in the same fields from other institutions. Curricul- urns on the high school level have been worked out in building con- struction, welding, machine shop, drafting and office occupations, with the aim of giving the student the best basic training possible in high school so he or she will be able to better utilize the training avail- able on a college level. This has been termed phase one of the program, and phase two is now ready to begin in high schools al-technical team-teachin- al Good judgment is the password to good driving.

But I am happy to report that Utah is doing something to bring the two worlds together again. It all started with a man from Magna named Weldon Matthews, in and he calls it the Sevehty-plu- s High School Day. This year the Utah State Legisla-seconture designated the fourth Wednes-Uta- h day in October as a day for Utah high school students to invite sons past the age of 70 to attend school with them. The students will provide transportation to and from the older folks homes. The younger and generations will share whatever school activities happen to be going on that day. It is a beautiful blend of the energy of youth and the wisdom of age.
