PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL Report of the Director of New Haven For the Year Ended December 31st 1955 VICTORIA, B.C. Printed by Don McDiarmid, Printer to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty 1956 s To His Honour Frank Mackenzie Ross, C.M.G., M.C., Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of British Columbia. May it please Your Honour: The undersigned has the honour to submit the Report of the Director of New Haven for the year ended December 31st, 1955. R. W. BONNER, A ttorney-General. Attorney-General's Department, Victoria, B.C., February, 1956. New Haven, South Burnaby, B.C., February 2nd, 1956. The Honourable R. W. Bonner, Q.C., Attorney-General, Province of British Columbia, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—In accordance with section 13 of the "New Haven Act," I have the honour to submit my annual report, setting forth a record of the work of the institution during the year ended December 31st, 1955. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, S. ROCKSBOROUGH SMITH, Director. Annual Report of the Director of New Haven For the Year Ended December 31st, 1955 During the course of the year the average daily population was 35.6. Sixty-two were received and fifty-one were released. Seven were transferred to Oakalla Prison Farm. These figures represent a very slight decrease from those of last year. There were times when the accommodation of the institution was taxed to the extreme, both in the spring and late fall of the year, and there were other times, in the summer, when the daily average population fell as low as twenty-nine. As in former years, the Classification Committee at Oakalla was responsible for selecting the intake for New Haven. While this system is working with greater efficiency as increased facilities are placed at the disposal of the Committee, it is to be hoped that in time more observations and test results can be recorded while a youth is undergoing classification, and that these will accompany him when he is transferred. The problem of the short sentence is still causing concern. Youths sentenced to less than six months definite invariably find it difficult to settle down to their training. When they learn on arrival that it will take them at least six months to complete their training, they frequently request a transfer back to Oakalla, feeling that they will get out sooner. I am firmly of the opinion that effective training cannot be carried out in less than six months, and that we should be considering lengthening rather than shortening our training programme. The short sentence has long been unsparingly condemned by penologists, prison administrators, and informed public opinion alike. It seldom leads to rehabilitation, does not protect society, and has no place in the modern correctional system. Owing to expanding probation facilities, many who formerly would have been committed to New Haven are now treated on probation. This has resulted in an increasing number of more disturbed lads being committed to the institution, and has proved a challenge to the members of the staff. Many of them are not prepared to accept the programme without considerable interpretation and have to be handled with a great deal of patience and understanding. Their period of training must of necessity be longer, for in most cases there is much to be broken down before any positive achievement can be looked for. Stress has continued to be laid on the achievement of a high standard. It is felt essential, particularly in the training of young men, many of whom are basically insecure and lacking in confidence, to show them that a high standard can be reached with application and persistence. I am pleased to be able to report that not only in the trade-training and hobby work has a high standard of excellence been maintained by our lads, but also in their conduct, attitude, and in their growing sense of responsibility. Every, effort has been made to foster and maintain this sense of personal responsibility. Senior lads are required to assume some responsibility in the general functioning of the institution, either as members of the House Committee or acting as Duty Senior for the day, a duty which is rotated among the seniors. Lads formally apply for their promotion to senior grade, and later on for their release on licence. The onus of proving their fitness is placed squarely on their own shoulders, and many a lad has spent an awkward hour or so trying to concoct a letter to convince the Board of Parole that he is fit for release when he has not honestly been able to convince himself. In July I was requested by the Inspector of Gaols to prepare a site and organize a small forestry camp for " star class" prisoners in the southern part of Garibaldi Park, J GG 6 BRITISH COLUMBIA some 12 miles from Haney. The staff and lads of New Haven have put many man hours into this project. A camping party cleared the site in early August, and since that time work parties have been going up, two or three times a week, to work on the site and improve the road leading to it. This project has proved an interesting diversion from the normal institutional routine and provided opportunities for plenty of strenuous physical exercise. The closest co-operation has been maintained throughout the year with the British Columbia Borstal Association. This remarkable association has once again successfully placed all our lads in employment on their release and undertaken their supervision while on licence. Members of the association have visited the institution, both singly and in groups, to get to know the lads, and thus be in a better position to help them when they are ready for release. J. D. Rickaby, the association's executive director, has been in constant touch with New Haven. His counsel and assistance and ever-ready willingness to perform any task which will facilitate a youth's rehabilitation have been invaluable. During the year the association became a member of the Greater Vancouver Community Chest and is now a Red Feather agency. This will assure the association of a regular income in the future and relieve the directors of the time-consuming task of an annual financial appeal. ADMISSIONS AND DISCHARGES The roll on January 1st, 1955, was thirty-six; on December 31st, 1955, it was thirty- nine. Sixty-two were admitted and fifty-one were released. Seven were returned to Oakalla, five for absconding, and two as unsuitable for further training in an open institution. Six absconded. This figure represents 6.1 per cent of those passing through the institution during the year. All, save one, received additional sentences for absconding. Only one of the six was returned to New Haven. The average age on reception of those committed to the institution was 19.1 years, as compared to 18.7 years in 1954 and 18.4 years in 1953. The following table lists the offences for which youths were committed to New Haven:— Breaking and entering and theft 20 Breaking and entering 3 Theft 8 Theft of automobile 12 False pretences 5 Forgery 3 Robbery with violence 4 Manslaughter 2 Carnal knowledge 3 Contributing to juvenile delinquency 2 Possession of explosives 1 Possession of stolen property 1 Dangerous driving 1 Breach of recognizance 1 The average length of stay at the institution was 8.7 months, as compared with 8.4 months last year. TRAINING The same over-all training programme which has proved effective in former years was followed with few modifications. Continued emphasis was placed on the develop- REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF NEW HAVEN GG 7 ment of habits of industry and application, participation and mutual co-operation in group activities, and the growth of personal responsibility and trust. Vocational All lads are occupied in vocational training during the working part of each day, with the exception of those in their first month. These work on the cleaning party and are available for interviews and testing. The four trade parties—woodworking, metalwork, cooking and baking, and farming—had their full quota of trainees over the greater part of the year. The fifteen on the farm were engaged in outside work—feeding and caring for the animals, planting and harvesting a small field crop, looking after the grounds and buildings, and constructing a poultry-house with cement blocks. These lads also formed the nucleus of the day parties working at the forestry camp-site in Garibaldi Park. Of the eleven working in the kitchen, some were engaged in learning the fundamentals of cookery and baking, attending weekly lectures and gaining practical experience while assisting with the preparation of the institution's meals; others worked as dining-room attendants, with special emphasis on the care and cleanliness of crockery and utensils, setting and laying of tables, and the proper manner in which to serve food and wait on table. They all assisted in the preparation, cooking, and serving of 42,751 meals. The twenty-six who obtained their training in the woodworking-shop commenced by learning to make simple wood joints with the use of hand-tools. From there they progressed to a variety of projects, making use of the joints they had learned. As quickly as possible, each lad was advanced to machine operations, and his projects increased in complexity as he became more skilled and efficient. A number undergoing training in the wood-shop have taken up apprenticeship in carpentry on their release. The metal-shop had thirty undergoing training during the course of the past year. Here, as in the wood-shop, lads have the opportunity of gaining experience in all phases of the trade, under an experienced instructor. Instruction in benchwork, lathe, sheet metal, welding, and mechanical draughting are available. The equipment of the shop was augmented by the purchase of two new lathes and an electric welder during the year. The directors of the Borstal Association have announced the setting-up of an endowment fund as a memorial to the late R. J. Lecky, one of the association's founders and past presidents. It is intended that the earnings from this fund shall be used to pay for further vocational training for any really promising lad who, on release, might benefit from additional training but is unable to afford it. This will prove a great stimulus to those who want to get ahead and have the intelligence and ability to advance further in their trade. Educational The evening academic programme, under the direction of the Housemaster, has remained unchanged. Mr. Davies interviews all receptions after their arrival and decides what correspondence courses will best suit their needs, bearing in mind their mental capacity, educational attainment, the trade party in which they are hoping to enrol, and their plans for the future. Those retarded youths incapable of handling a correspondence course are enrolled in a special class and given individual attention by Mrs. Page, a part- time teacher experienced in remedial teaching methods. Mr. Davies reports:— "During the past year sixty-eight enrolled in high-school courses, as shown hereunder:— GG 8 BRITISH COLUMBIA Art 10 1 Automotive 91 18 Automotive 92 3 Book-keeping 34 3 Business Arithmetic 12___ 5 Diesel 91 2 Electricity 20 3 Forestry 30 4 Grammar and Composition 10 1 Grammar and Composition 20 1 Health 20 1 Homemaking 10 5 House Furnishing 1 House Building and Construction 3 House Painting and Decorating Mechanical Drawing Mathematics 10 Mathematics 20 Mathematics 101 6 2 7 5 1 Radio and Wireless 2 Record-keeping 11 2 Steam Engineering 2 Social Studies 10 1 Social Studies 20 3 Social Studies 30 4 English 10 1 English 20 2 English 32 1 English 40 1 French 10 1 Business Fundamentals 1 " Enrolment in the special class was twenty-five. " In reviewing the work of the past year, certain highlights are worthy of special mention. Thirteen successfully completed their courses while at New Haven; seven averaged over 85 per cent. Three completed two courses, averaging over 85 per cent in their final tests, and enrolled in a further course to take with them on release. A Chinese youth, anxious to complete his matriculation, enrolled in four courses, and, by dint of sheer hard work and persistence, passed all his subjects and sat for a Departmental examination, which he passed with a mark of 91 per cent." Mrs. Page, commenting on her work with the special class, writes:— " The special class is a cross-section of lads in the low elementary grades, a few completely illiterate, all educationally retarded, but most of them capable of absorbing and benefiting from further schooling. Many of them are negativistic, resentful of teacher- parent-society authority, conscious of early failure in school, reluctant to return as adults to a learning situation found unsatisfactory in childhood. Many have not only been unable to write and spell, but were completely without desire or initiative to do so. With much practice these lads have plodded through the humiliation of primary reading and spelling and basic number facts, to be able finally on leaving New Haven to express themselves acceptably in written English, to avail themselves of the institution library, and to solve arithmetic problems of daily living. It is amazing what pride and confidence it gives these lads to discover that they are able to achieve such accomplishments." Mention has been made in previous Reports of the valuable part played by the library and the use made of visual aids in the educational programme. Religious There have been no major changes in the religious training programme since my last reporting. Rev. Grant Hollingworth, our visiting Protestant chaplain, has continued to provide a vigorous and stimulating programme which has awakened considerable interest among those of the Protestant faith. Unfortunately the Roman Catholic chaplaincy has again undergone a number of changes. Father McAvoy was replaced by Father Gerrone, who in turn was replaced by Father Corcoran. The importance of continuity in working with lads who at best are rather vague about matters pertaining to their faith, and are inclined to view every change with suspicion, cannot be overstressed. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF NEW HAVEN GG 9 Padre Hollingworth, reporting on his year's work, writes:— " The paramount obligation of the chaplain is to ensure that proper opportunities are given for religious devotion each Sunday, and on other days of religious or national significance. Thus it is gratifying to report that services of worship have been held regularly each Sunday throughout the year, and on Good Friday and Remembrance Day. On the fourth Sunday of each month Rev. Harold Berry has conducted the service, and his assistance, together with that of Mr. Frank Hicks, our voluntary organist, who not only acted as organist each Sunday, but also organized a choir for carol singing at Christmas, has been most helpful and is greatly appreciated. " It is to the chaplain, further, that the lad chiefly turns for instruction and advice in matters of religion and morals. Frequently the chaplain can and does resolve the doubts of a confused, bewildered youth, and in addition teaches the fundamental truths of religion, which in many cases has either not been learned or has been forgotten. " This aspect of the chaplain's work is undertaken by means of a twofold programme. The first is by the regular use—one each week—of a religious film which stresses at least one specific Christian truth. This is normally followed by a discussion of the theme of the film. During the last quarter of the year a series of thirteen films upon the life and work of the Apostle Paul were shown. The interest which these films evoked warrants an extension of the use of such films at regular intervals to youths of this age-group. " The second aspect of this programme is developed by means of a more intensive religious discussion group which meets on Wednesday evenings and is of a voluntary nature. The subjects discussed are those suggested by the lads themselves, and the questions asked and the problems presented reflect the interest and concern of those present in securing an adequate philosophy of life—a " faith to live by." Copies of the devotional booklet, " The Upper Room," have been distributed to all those who agree to use them daily, and New Testaments have been given to any requesting them. " Recognizing the fact that, before free and frank discussion is possible, the chaplain and the lad concerned must get to know one another; each new admission is interviewed by the chaplain soon after his arrival. Through an awareness of the boy's religious background which comes from the initial interview, the chaplain, at a later date, is in a more favourable position to counsel and advise. The relationship which is frequently established between the lad and the chaplain has, on a number of occasions, extended on after the lad has left the institution, and local churches are encouraged to pursue this relationship and the lad's interest in religion, so that what has been kindled while at New Haven may not die out upon his release." We are very proud of our two new chapels, which were completed in August. These chapels, Protestant and Roman Catholic, were constructed from two old rooms in the main building by our own lads and fitted with furnishings made in the wood-shop. PHYSICAL EDUCATION, SPORT, AND ATHLETICS Mr. Strain has been in charge of our weekly physical education classes again this year, and all those physically fit have been taking part in the programme. The gymnasium is sadly in need of repair, the floor having sagged in one corner, but I have been assured by the Department of Public Works that we shall have a new gymnasium next year. This will allow us to increase and develop both the physical training and the sports programme. Mr. Willox, supervisor in charge of sports, was responsible for training and coaching our softball and basketball teams. Both teams had a good season and drew high praise for the quality of their conduct and sportsmanship. In basketball, eight " away " games were played with the Princess Margaret High School (Newton), the Provincial Normal School, and St. Mary's Church (Kerrisdale). In softball, we entered the Kerris- GG 10 BRITISH COLUMBIA dale Merchants' League (Senior C) and played twenty games—ten at home and ten at city parks. This was a very strong league, the ultimate winners winning the British Columbia championship. Although we were outclassed, the morale of our team was high throughout the entire season. The annual track and field meet, scheduled for July 1st, had to be cancelled this year on account of bad weather and the state of our playing- fields. Volleyball, floor hockey, weight-lifting, and table-tennis, all have their devotees at New Haven, and many keenly contested intergroup tournaments and competitions were held throughout the year. During the year we prepared and seeded down a small piece of ground, higher than the surrounding area, to use as a soccer pitch. The season commenced hopefully, but after a month's play the field became flooded and could no longer be used. One of the big disadvantages of our property at New Haven is the fact that it is so low lying and gathers so much water that it becomes unusable by the late fall, and remains so all winter. Once again a party of ten lads went up to Camp Artaban on Gambier Island and spent ten days preparing the site for its summer operations. This is always a much- anticipated outing and has now become an accepted part of our programme. HEALTH AND WELFARE Our medical officer and psychiatrist, Dr. R. G. E. Richmond, and visiting psychologist, Mr. R. McAllister, paid weekly visits to the institution throughout the year. Their advice and practical help have always been most valuable. Dr. Richmond, reporting on his work at New Haven, writes:— " There has been no change in the medical routine since the submission of the last annual report. Weekly visits have continued to be paid by the medical officer and psychologist. A psychiatric report is prepared on each inmate shortly after admission, and those requiring further psychiatric exploration have been visited additionally. " The programme is such that it appears to minimize emotional disturbances, with the result that equilibrium is maintained amongst a majority of the inmates. The classification picture has changed somewhat owing to the increased services made available by probation. Many of the lads who would have been committed to New Haven in former years have been placed on probation, with the result that the type of candidate for New Haven has varied accordingly. The impression gained is that there are more selected for New Haven who are less mature and potentially more delinquent than previously. Many are educationally retarded but make good progress under the skilled tuition of Mrs. Page. " The increased frequency of sentences which include only a three months definite plus an indefinite period has caused a certain amount of difficulty, as at New Haven the training is geared to a progressive curriculum which cannot be undergone in less than six months. Very few of those sentenced to such a short period of definite time are suitable for discharge on completion of three months, but provided there is adequate orientation of each individual considered suitable for New Haven, before being transferred there, and sentenced in this category, the problem should be minimal. " The general health of the New Haven lads has been very satisfactory. The Outpatient Department of the Vancouver General Hospital has contributed greatly to the medical needs of the institution. However, visits to this hospital have added to the demands on staff and transportation, and it is to be hoped that as medical facilities expand at Oakalla Prison Farm hospital, more of the consultant and hospital requirements could be met there. " Medical and pharmaceutical equipment has been adequate for the few demands made upon it. At New Haven, psychiatric disturbances are rare and, therefore, there is not the need for anything but infrequent use of the more recent psychiatric medicinal aids. During the year, chlorpromozine was administered to one disturbed inmate with successful results. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF NEW HAVEN GG 11 " We remain indebted to the Division of Venereal Disease Control and the Division of Tuberculosis Control of the Department of Health and Welfare for screening inmates prior to their transfer to New Haven, and also for subsequent occasional assistance." Medical Examinations Inmates examined by the medical officer 175 Inmates escorted to Oakalla for treatment 17 Inmates admitted to New Haven infirmary 16 Inmates X-rayed Eye examinations Supplied with glasses _. Dental examinations ___ Supplied with dentures Escorted to clinics Inmates Hospitalized at Vancouver General Hospital Appendectomy Sinus Fracture Circumcision _ Bone removal Examinations 26 9 7 117 7 52 Mr. McAllister reports:— "Psychological services for the year ended December 31st, 1955, have included the individual administration by the psychologist of twenty-seven Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scales, Form I; thirteen Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scales, Form II; and eleven Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales. Administered by Mr. V. H. Goad, social worker at New Haven, were fifty-one California Mental Health Analyses and thirty-seven California Occupational Interest Inventories. First steps were taken during the year to have the California Interest Inventory administered prior to the inmate's transfer to New Haven; that is, while he was still in the Oakalla Prison Farm classification wing. It is planned to undertake eventually the completion of all the tests before the transfer to New Haven is effected, which will free Mr. Goad for other work to some extent, and should enable the psychologist, too, to give more individual attention to the needs of the trainees at New Haven." Working very closely with the psychiatrist and the psychologist is our full-time social worker, Mr. V. H. Goad. Mr. Goad, describing his work over the past year, writes:— "During the year under review I have dealt with ninety-five cases on an individual basis. "As in the previous year, each new reception has been seen a number of times during his early settling-in period, to obtain pertinent information for his file, administer tests, and assist him in any way possible to get off to a good start. " During the remainder of his stay at the institution each lad has been interviewed on a monthly basis to discuss his progress as reported by the Housemaster, his instructor, and members of the supervising staff. Those who have had difficulty have been seen more often in an attempt to help them gain their various promotions. The standards of performance and behaviour demanded at New Haven are very high, and some lads do not relish the thought of exerting the amount of effort required. A few of these carry a deep-seated psychological block which must be dealt with accordingly, but many others, unfortunately, have simply lacked sufficient training in their upbringing. The former have been referred to the staff psychiatrist for special interviews, but the latter have had GG 12 BRITISH COLUMBIA to discover, through empirical trial-and-error methods, that rewards are seldom forthcoming unless they have been earned legitimately. " Until last August we had been conducting our own tests to determine each lad's occupational interest, as a guide when assigning him to his permanent vocational training. Since then this testing has been done at Oakalla, prior to classification, and the results forwarded with the other documents when a lad has been transferred to New Haven. " The mental-health analysis is still being done by us and has proved a useful device for assessing emotional development and social adjustment. It is interesting to note that the six lads who absconded during the year all showed low scores for their behaviour maturity and emotional control. But it would not be fair to refuse admission to any lads on the basis of these scores alone, because a number of others, with similar test results, have benefited considerably by the training they have received here. " The Board of Parole has continued its former policy of promoting senior lads to the discharge class two months prior to their release on licence. I have again presented the background information and summary of accomplishments at New Haven for each case being studied. There have been forty-five lads making their first appearance before the Board during the year. " I have continued to prepare discharge reports for the use of the British Columbia Borstal Association, and these have been compiled from information gathered in each lad's file during his period of training at the institution." STAFF There were two new appointments during 1955. Mr. McLeish, who had previously been on the staff, returned to it, and Mr. McDougall joined to fill a vacancy in the instructional cadre brought about by Mr. Alexander's resignation in March. The implementation of the forty-hour working-week made it necessary to take on one additional supervisor, as well as a temporary summer employee to assist over the holiday period. For this latter position we were fortunate in obtaining the services of Mr. Charles Mitchell, a theological student from St. Chad's College, Regina, who had had previous institutional experience. Mr. Mitchell fitted in very well and did a goob job. In the autumn three members of the Oakalla Prison Farm staff—Messrs. Baker, Nightingale, and Lacey—were transferred to New Haven to assist with the organization and development of the new forestry camp project in Garibaldi Park. While at present attached to the New Haven staff, these men will in due course be stationed at the camp itself. Although there was no collective staff-training programme this year, six members of the staff attended the Gaol Service two-week basic training course, covering the fundamentals of custody, supervision methods, human behaviour, and modern penal practices. The morale of the staff, the interest they show in their work, and their attention to duty have always been worthy of high praise. This year has been no exception. All members of the staff have contributed, over and above their duty, to the general welfare of the institution, and have spent many off-duty hours working with groups of lads in some spare-time activity. AFTER-CARE The after-care of lads released on licence from New Haven has continued to be maintained at a high level. During the year the British Columbia Borstal Association increased its membership to include thirty-nine centres throughout the Province, with a total of 125 active sponsors. These men have given unsparingly of their time and talent to assist those placed under their care and supervision. They deserve the highest praise. The results of their work can best be described by quoting from the executive director's report to the annual meeting of the association, held in Vancouver, November 28th last:— REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF NEW HAVEN GG 13 " In the past six years your association has accepted from the Parole Board of British Columbia the supervision and after-care of 263 New Haven graduates. As Mr. Keetch has told you, we believe that 80 per cent of this number have remained law-abiding citizens. " The problem of presenting accurate rehabilitation figures becomes more and more difficult each year, as, with the passing of time, we naturally lose track of some of our boys. We can, however, give you accurate figures as to the number who remain law- abiding citizens during their parole period, the average length of which is eleven months. "During the period 1952 to 1954, inclusive, 88 per cent or 120 of the 136 lads released to our parole supervision kept within the law; however, eighteen of the 120 required help from the Parole Board, who revoked their licences and returned them to New Haven for further training. "At any one time your association is interested in approximately ninety young men— forty still undergoing training at New Haven and fifty under your supervision. A goodly number of others could be included—the many New Haven graduates whose licence periods have expired but who continue to visit our office or their former sponsors seeking help and advice in various matters or just wanting a friendly chat. "Since our last annual meeting, which was held on November 29th, 1954, fifty-two lads have been released to our care, as compared to fifty-four for the corresponding period last year. Suitable employment and sponsors were obtained for all, and we were called upon to locate lodgings for seven. " To date, three of the fifty-two have been reconvicted and another eight have had their licences revoked. Four of the eight were returned to New Haven for further training, two were sent to Oakalla, and two are still at large. Failing to report to their sponsor, not leading a steady and industrious life, and leaving their place of residence without permission were, in that order, the most common parole violations. "Many unsolicited complimentary remarks are received by your association from time to time. Recently a lad nearing the end of his licence period wrote: 'I appreciate all you people have done for me. I am going to write to Mr. Smith shortly and thank him for the wonderful help he gave me in the past.' Another chap writes: ' I saw my sponsor and he sure is a nice person to whom I can put my trust in.' A letter from one of our employers states: ' I am writing to you in reference to M P . He has turned out to be one of the best workers I have. I have never met a boy with a nicer personality, and all the chaps who are working with him think the same as I do.' Another employer writes: ' Mr. A K ■ has been employed with us for the past five months and we take pleasure in recommending him for his honesty, application, and hard work. We cannot recommend him too highly to his new employers.' (This comment is all the more amazing when one realizes the young man referred to had been sent to New Haven for breaking and entering thirty-one homes.) A parent writes: 'Both my husband and I want to thank you for helping our son so much. Bob is a different boy now. Please also thank Mr. Smith for the wonderful work he has done.' A mother recently stated: ' I have noticed a remarkable change for the good in Ron. He looks different, talks different, and is much more considerate. His sponsor is a really fine man and Ron thinks the world of him.' One of our out-of-town sponsors writes of his lad: 'I hope all of you who have worked with Jim realize what a great deal Borstal has done for him.' " These excerpts from the files of the Borstal Association need no comment, they speak for themselves. They do, however, demonstrate very forcibly what can be achieved by close mutual co-operation between institution and after-care authorities. CONCLUSION In conclusion, I should like once again to express my gratitude to all those individuals and groups who have helped in so many ways during the year. I am most grateful GG 14 BRITISH COLUMBIA to Mr. E. G. B. Stevens, Inspector of Gaols, for his kindness and consideration at all times; for the co-operation afforded me by Mr. Hugh Christie, Warden of Oakalla Prison; and all those members of the Provincial Government service who have gone out of their way to assist me in my work and willingly given of their time and skill. victoria, B.C.
