MEIR TATIO N

_ Surely: we aMl know that the fundamental misfion of
prison is rehabilitation; but what does this word " re-
habilitation really mean? Could it not be defined as "the
restoring of a man to his full human-mesa, to his capa-

‘ city to be 8a whole person?“ If so, then it is the
courts' role to ask, “Is this man right or wrong”; but the
prison's primary «mention is, "Why is this man not'Wholb‘!"
A man's wholenesaa meant he the oonoern of the program of any
rehabilitationg for this reason we must provide a. struc-
ture whereby a: man my be given insight into himself. It
is upon man's inner world of images, therefore. that I feel
a: prison's program should focus, for it is false imgem ,
the flaws in a man's character, which we should strive to
correct. A’ man's actions flow outer his interpretation.
of himself. If his seifminterpretation is distorted; his
actions inevitably are: as a man thinks in his heart, an
is he. Attitudes: must be repaired before any education-1
or recreational program can benefit any man. When a nun
accepts the faot that he must be a servant of run to live
successfully in sooiety, instead of picturing men as things
who must serve him, he has really made the important step; ‘
toward rehabilitation.

Although the weather has been hot and
etiolq this 'month9 a. number of inmatesr.
have been keeping cool at the poolu-the
only swinnning pool you'll find at any
maximum-security prison in the world.

The lifeguards, Chester Sebrowski,
Donald Joggers, Eddie Nelson, Alvin
Lueasg and Billy ”Be-Bop" Houohins, are
taking a genuine interest in their work.
Not only do they keep the pool as elem
as possible, they see that the trunks
and other equipment are kept in good re-
pair, and they've been doing an emoells-
ent job of seeing that the pool is usdd
in the best interests of all the boyse,

A: number or the men are turning out
to be trope-notch divers-r, including Billy
Gilly, Jaggere, Koran, Files, Hampton,
Andersono and Utterbaeh. Inoidentally,
