Utah Foundation UtaH'Stoto Prisons Utah's state prison population popula-tion is approaching the rated capacity of the prison, and preliminary studies are under .way for an additional 250-unit 250-unit institution. At the same 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. " i .Both of these programs will be expensive, it is pointed' out by Utah Foundation, the private non-profit public service agency, in a research report released this week. "The public rightfully demands de-mands to be protected from criminals, but inevitably is faced with the cost - of providing that 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 23)-unit prison may be expected to run from $9.5 million to $10.5 million. The existing prison has a capacity of 800, and estimated replacement cost at today's prices is $30 million.

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, unreal-istic, and proposes a more modest program that would reduce the agents', workload 20 percent the first year and work toward meeting national standards over a longer period of time.

Some authorities authori-ties recommend that prison . programs be directed at punishment rather than at rehabilitation. While all penologists do not agree with the new concept, there appears to be near-consensus near-consensus on two points: 1) that rehabilitation is much more likely to occur in the community than behind prison walls; 2) that some convicted criminals cannot be placed in the community without serious danger to society, and must be confin ITALIAN CUISINE CONDOS LISTED FROM $31 ed in prison as long as the law permits in order to ptotect the public. This indicates probable need for expanding facilities both in . prisons and in probation-parole probation-parole programs. Utah is one of a number of states which operate correctional correct-ional programs under indeterminate inde-terminate sentence laws. A wide range of time is covered in a court sentence, and the exact time of a prisoner's release is decided by a parole board. Some other states impose "flat" sentences, setting forth a specific time to be served, but providing time off for good behaviour. California has adopted a program under an indeterminate indeter-minate sentence law, where prison authorities and the prisoner agree on a release date that cannot be advanced, advanc-ed, but can be set back if the inmate seriously violates prison rules. Utah prison authorities are closely following the Calif, exper-' ience. . "Utah correctional author ities recognize 'that their programs must compete for funds with important progra ms in many other areas of state government" the Foundation notes. "They do urge citizens to decide what they are willing to pay for the control of crime and the , protection of society. While every effort should be made for efficiency of operation, the final factor in shaping a crime control program, cor rectional authorities assert, must be the adequacy of funds to carry it but." 23 Famous Italian nasiauram is now open 7 days a week For Your Dining Enjoymont SERVING THE BEST ITALIAN FOOD WEST OF ITALY 649-3066 THREE KINGS CONDOMINIUMS 1 , 2 and 3 bedrooms, close to ski . lifts.

"Up until two weeks ago everybody was looking for lodging during Christmas week, but we are now getting reservations for the rest of the season," Hansen observed. observ-ed. "It's going to be crowded," was the season forecast of Val Chin of Moana's condominium condo-minium reservation department. depart-ment. ' "We're getting more groups than ever and bigger groups than ever." . Mrs. Chin reaffirmed the trend toward earlier reservations. reserva-tions. She said Moana-man-aged condominiums were completely booked for Christmas Chris-tmas week' by May 20, whereas, in the past, the Christmas reservation rush usually begins this time of year. In addition, "February is almost gone and March is very tight," Chin reported. She said 25 percent of the 1975Christmas visitors reser- ' ved '76 lodging 'vefore- leaving and predicted '5 0 h percent of this season's Christmas crowd will book for the '77 holiday period. Moana has already received three reservations for Christmas Christ-mas '77. The boom is not without its problems, however. Many potential visitors have contacted con-tacted Moana for Christmas reservations thinking they were in plenty of time only to suffer the frustration of being told nothing is 'available. 'avail-able. The rejectees include people who have been habitual habit-ual holiday vacationers in Park City. It is the consensus opinion that the marginal or nonexistent non-existent snow conditions which prevailed in many ski resorts last year, and which resulted in much greater exposure for Park City, is the major cause, of this year's heady optimism. Mrs. Chin said many people who traditionally skied at other resorts are returning to Park City after a visit last season. , , : "One man who used to go to Vail every year said he learned a new word in Park City -Mellow," Mrs. Chin remarked. "He said he was coming back." There also exists another encouraging situation which bodes well for the local economy. Mrs. Chin told the Newspaper that summer bookings are up 50 percent over last year at this time. Reflecting on the lofty winter projections and the growing summer business, Mrs. Chin observed, "I don't forsee any slow season. Park City has been placed on the map!" Tom Llgaro !

Park City residents and visitors, many courses have been created that might not have been offered. this early in the, season. "Yoga at lunchtime is being offered twice a week," said Crooks. "And we're offering a couple of 'combo classes' created especially for kids and their parents. Two mornings a week, 'Creative Arts for Pre-Schoolers' is being taught at the same time we're offering a 'Coffee Critique' which is a sort of fireside discussion of popular novels.
