(UPI) Prisoner Rehabilitation Program Works By RICHARD HALVERSON Christian Science Monitor News Service MEDFIELD, Mass. "I just love this program" says Bill, now serving his third term at Norfolk state prison. Unguarded by either walls or guns, Bill is one of 10 Norfolk inmates training with federal funds as psychiatric aides at the Medfield State Hospital for the mentally ill. Scorn and contempt are the usual convict emotions toward the normal work "rehabilitation" in Massachusetts: making license plates, brooms, prison work shoes and denims, or concrete bird-baths.

"For the first lime in my life I'm doing something to help somebody else," Bill says. "I feel good about myself." Convicted of his first armed "The doctors and nurses at Medfield are the most decent people I've ever known," the convict says. Bill lasted only 10 weeks after release from his second term before he landed back in prison on a payroll robbery charge. "1 have been accepted and trusted as a next-door neighbor," Bill says. "The nurses leave their purses right in the same locker room." "At first, I just couldn't cope with it.

The trust was- overwhelming," he confesses. Bill comes up for parole in 18 months. "I have to make it in this program, if I'm going to make it on the street," he says. Paid for by a $50,000 federal antipoverty grant, the Medfield rehabilitation program is run by two ex-convicts who between them spent 58 years behind robberies Bill has bars. spent 15 of his'37 years in prison.

"It used to be I could only His wife divorced him after his communicate with other 1963 conviction for three bank holdups. ex- cons who packed guns," Bill concedes. "I couldn't even tell my little girl I loved her." Some within -the Massachusetts Department of Corrections resent that the Medfield program is run by ex- cons, rather than prison officials. Bill's guard, who wears civilian clothes and carries no gun, says he gets razzed by the other guards as a "bleeding heart liberal" and a "do- gooder." Parting Emotional When their training i ended, two of Medfield's student nurses wept when Bill came to say goodbye. "I choked up myself, and my eyes filled with tears.

I had to turn away," he says. It took a minor battle to get corrections to allow Bill to wear hospital whites instead of prison blues carry keys to wards, and carry pocket money his daily pay of $1. Dr. Robert Cserr, Medfield hospital director, is dismayed that the public often looks on such rehabilitation projects as COLONEL SANDERS' RECIPE kij fried America Loves What The Colonel Cooks Every Day Is Special At Your Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant Monday DELICIOUS SPAGHETTI AND MEAT BALLS (ALL YOU CAN EAT.)

Victims are truly ignored, Dr. Cserr maintains, when prisons lock up a criminal for 15 years and then turn him loose worsened for the experience. To protect his victims from being re-victimized, society should either lock up 1 the criminal for life or rehabilitate him, Dr. Cserr argues.

Ken Abramson, who runs the Medfield program, spent 18 years behind bars for bank robbery. He says he now would like to expand the program to include four more hospitals and provide better least for a practical nurse license or even registered nurse. Probably 2,600 of the state's 3,300 inmates would be eligible for such training programs outside the prison walls, estimates John 0. Boone, new Commissioner of Corrections for Massachusetts. Security Needs Minimized At most only 20 per cent of the inmates in maximum security prisons need those walls and bars, Commissioner says.

One of his first steps in office, he says, was to start for the first time in Massachusetts a program to classify prisoners to find out exactly who is considered eligible and who is considered too dangerous for i a rehabilitation. A major provision of the prison reform bill now before the Massachusetts Legislature is to stop spending money almost exclusviely on running prisons and paying prison guards and start diverting part of the funds into programs to rehabilitate convicts outside prison walls. Of a prison population of about the state has 45 convicts engaged 'in work- rehabilitation programs outside the usual prison industries. Besides the 10 at Medfield, 10 convicts are working with mentally retarded children at the Wrentham School and 15 at the Fernal School. In addition, 10 are studying computer programming behind the walls of Walpole state prison.

Commissioner Boone says that, while he supports such programs as Medfield's in principle, he has no funds to expand them into other state hospitals. The commissioner, who has been under attack for his ideas on prison reform since he took office in February, says he wishes Abramson all the in the world in obtaining funds from other sources. Three of the inmates working at Medfield are serving life sentences for murder, including Rick. Starting at age 13, Rick spent four years in state reform schools. Four months after his release, he stabbed his mother in an argument.

After 12 more years in prison, Rick now 'spends his days feeding, bathing, and.looking after elderly patients. Grange Picnic The Canandaigua Grange will hold a picnic for members at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Ontario County Park. On the committee are Walter Brown, Mr. and Mrs.

Your husband is wonderful. What more could a woman want? You are also college educated, well read, and eager to contribute to the world outside your home--but wonder if you should, or if you can. Millions of American women fit this description exactly. They realize they are underemployed, but they see no place for their undiscovered abilities in the 9-to-5 business world. Is there an alternative that would fit the talents and special requirements for limited hours and flexible scheduling of this group of American women?

Where could you find an employer who would allow you to be home when your second grader, arrives from school in the early afternoon? How would you find time for your myriad household responsibilities? The "How to Work authors assert that the educated family woman is mature, responsible, motivated, and has a varied life experience'to draw upon that can qualify her for a high-level job.

Limited Options The options for part-time employment are still limited, but this is not an insurmountable barrier, according-to the book. Employers can be convinced by sound, proven arguments. Wives may be pleasantly surprised by the household responsibilities her husband and children are willing to assume. Steps Suggested "Try to think of yourself on a voyage of discovery," says the authors. And they suggest these steps to follow: --Consider the benefits your job could bring to the family.

Besides the boost to the budget, it could intellectually stimulate you to keep up with your husband. Children would be freer to. assert their own independence. --Establish your goals. What motivates you? The authors suggest listing such things as the need for money, the need to help others, and the need for stimulation, arrange them in order of priority.

--Face the practical problems. Exactly Iraw much time can you give outside your home? Who will care for your children while you are away? How much money must you make to afford household help and child care and still have something left over? When you have faced these realities you are ready for your campaign, say the authors. "How to Work describes appropriate resumes and approaches to prospective employers. The authors tell how the family woman can prepare her case for job interviews: --She must convince the employer that she, as a part- time employee, is exactly what he needs. There will be reduced training costs since she is already a self-starter who learns faster than the average new employee.

--She gives increased productivity for less cost since the employer doesn't have to pay for her lunch hours, dentist appointments, and periodic breaks. --The mature worker has a much lower turnover and is Heat Causes Fainting AKRON, Ohio (UPD--When temperatures climb into the BO's and 90's, the Summit County Auto Title Bureau gets so hot that some of its employes faint.
