Speaking at the 159th annual banquet and reunion of the Enfield Society for the Detection of Thieves and Robbers at the Connecticut Correctional Institution, Osborn, Manson said dur-300 ing the past year and a half 42,000 inmates have been furloughed and only one violated the trust." "No other state with criteria as flexible as ours has so few abusing the furlough system," Manson said. Commissioner Manson explained the past year's advances in the furlough program which allows inmates to return home or to go to hospitals while confined to state jails.

The furlough period i is for one to four days, he said. da Manson said he was pleased to announce that in the next fiscal year three new jails were planned, one in Bridgeport which is 35 per cent completed and one each in Hartford and New Haven.

Dubois, 25, of 158 Sargent Hartford, and Leslie Manselle, 20, of 54 Litchfield Hartford, were charged Tuesday after a shoplifting complaint was filed by the manager of the Super Finast store in Enfield Mall. In other police matters, Gilbert T. Turcotte, 16, of 18 Bright Enfield, was charged Tuesday with third degree burglary and second degree larceny on a breaking and entering offense into a private home April 1, police said.

He was released on bail for appearance in Circuit Court 13, Windsor, on May 11. we'll start four buildings which has to be an institutional milestone." The fourth building, he said, will be started at Cheshire where 10 cottages will be built to house boys and the old buildings will be converted for adult prison use. The Cheshire facility was "the most maximum security reformatory in the country with boys in a hall stacked in tiers. "We'll have 36 boys in each of the 10 cottages," he said. Manson, speaking about the department's standing in the nation said, "In a recent journal, Connecticut was rated as among the top four or five correction departments in the country." "I can't buy that," said Manson.

"We aren't that good yet." "But we'll try to earn it in correction's in the coming Manson also spoke with pride of the academy established in the state for training prison personnel. "We lock the trainees up so they'll know what a new prisoner feels upon entering an institution." He said the academy in Haddam has gained national recognition. "It is one of the best known and one of the best in the country and it's only one year old," Manson said. About the guards at the "We state reinstitutions, he said, cently started a program to assist stranded motorists near the institutions which has been well received by the public." Drugs Manson related the experiences the department has had with drug dependent persons and said a recent paroled inmate joined the staff at Somers-Enfield where a 60-bed unit is being established. At the women's prison in Niantic, he said the drug program also will be offered.

"The Portland Youth will have a 40 to 45-bed unit for drug addicted young people and the Day Top program at Cheshire will be expanded to help those after they leave that institution. Now it helps those inside the walls." The state department received $200,000 for a methadone program and three clinics have been established, he said. One in Hartford is run by the city but funded with federal grants through the correction department, he said. "There are 450 persons maintained on methadone in the Hartford program," Manson said. He also spoke of a halfway house in New Haven, the first operated by the department.

"If it works well we'll expand into Hartford and Bridgeport." "Legislation made us a school district this year and we get federal funding and have a director of education who acts as our superintendent of schools. "For the first time in the nation, through the community college system, we can contract for inmates to get their associate degrees. This network has not been set up anywhere Manson said. Of the community release program, he said, "624 inmates go to work and come back every night. We have had 2 per cent failure there in this high trust program.

"We have loose flexible programs with good screening. In other states the failure rate is 8 per cent and with young people it's 25 to 39 per cent," Manson said. He said the Lakeville Association also got started through a federal grant through the partment to improve the criminal justice system. He explained the organization Vis made up of professionals, enforcement officers, lawyers, ex-inmates and inmates. "Responsible professionals and non-professionals got together for seven days to be critics of the system.

It's fine," sair Manson, "as long as it is constructive critcism." Drug Experiments Until this year, drug. experiments were carried out at the prison on a voluntary basis which helped the inmates earn extra money, Manson said. But, he said, "It was an inhouse situation and we had no outside opinion as to whether it was good or not. Now we have members of an advisory committee who look at the research proposal to tell us if it should If they approve, we'll go with it, it opens up activities to outside groups." Film Studio "The Shaker Film Studio which makes films, radio and TV tapes has been started at.Somers," said Manson. "Twelve UConn graduate students and 20 inmates are involved in this program to make public service Manson said the program will be used to recruit minority group staff members and to have residents understand the prison system.

He summed up. by saying Harvard, Yale and Fordham university students are interested in the corrections system and he has programs operating under faculty supervision at several state institutions. He said attorneys working at the prison on civil cases were a help to inmates. There also is very limited censorship of mail in minimum security with prisoners being allowed to write to and receive mail from anyone they wished, Manson said. He said he was especially pleased that he had been able to Longview College To Close ENFIELD While town and state officials are fighting for a community college, the town's only existing college has anpounced it will close.

Franklin told the Rotary Club Wednesday. "We haven't seen the impact of the tax package of 1971 on the state yet," he said. The state tax structure's "impact on the economic development of the state is the item to in watch. The competition between states is in this field," he said.

taxes are not a major factor in business location as a 1 rule, Connecticut has a real problen shall we tax to support government and how much will we tax?" "It appears to be where can you pluck the most feathers and get the least squawk. We talk about income taxes but even if we had a tax as progressive as New York state's it wouldn't produce the revenue needed for expenditures made in recent years," he said. About the plight of the wage earners of the state, he said, "last year we were the second lowest growth rate state in per lower. This year we have capita income. Only Washington was the second or third highest unfi- employment rate in the nation, exceeded only by Washington and Alaska." Franklin predicted the state would lose its "number one standing in the country for highest personal income, this year, because of the high unemployment rate." He was particularly critical of the state budget, where the highest proportion of was for education, second for welfare and third for debt reduction.

He also criticized the budget-document, saying "It does not give the governor nor the legislature the kind of information they need before making a choice on which items could be cut." "The new sales tax is the highest in the country as is the 10 per cent gas tax and the 25 cents a pack cigarette tax. The state's corporation taxes are among the five top highest in the country. This plus high unusual taxes on the insurance industry hurt the state's chances for attracting new business, Franklin said. Discussion In the question and answer period after the talk, Dr. James Tatoian said "we've lost industries and $9 million in income and it's still going on.

Why don't they do something about it. And that third largest item you men According to state statute, the vacancy could be filled only by a Democrat or independent because of minority representaItion. Theodore Veling of North Colebrook has requested the Board of Finance include $500 in the town's budget for 1972-73 for the Winsted Visiting Nurse Association.

The college was begun in 1944. as Our Lady of the Angels Teacher Training Institute. In 1949 it expanded to a two-year college and in 1950 became Our Lady of the Angels Junior College and was affiliated with the Catholic University.

In April 1970 it changed its name to Longview College and offered an expanded program. High Tuition The reason given for the lack of student enrollment is the high tuition cost, which is $1,050 per year. The college was also unable offer the range of courses that had originally hoped.

Franklin said the Boston Federal Reserve Bank made a study which proved that Connecticut had the highest tax bill placed on three different types of manufacturing firms. "I can't do anything but agree with you," Franklin told Dr. Tatoian. One member asked if turning down the school budget would help the situation locally.

Franklin said "school budgets can be cut" and that "North Central Connecticut communities did cut budgets more than once last year before the town meeting accepted the school budget." He said he has seen studies that indicate the per pupilteacher ratio, and the per pupil cost of education had no affect on the end product-the quality of education. He said an item that would help was a uniform budget for each town. With all towns using the same budget system, the state would then know how much was being spent for education, health, welfare, hospital and mental health care all over the state and would be able to correlate the state spending with Registration The Congregational Church weekday nursery school is accepting registrations for the 1972-73 school year with registration deadline set at May 7.
