Citizens' Group Hears Proposals To Alter State Penal Reform Bill
By PHIL MCLAUGHLIN
Kansan Staff Writer
About 40 members of the Kansas Council on Crime and Delinquency (KCCD) heard recommendations of the KCCD Penal Reform Committee for altering the recently passed law to allow people to attend the second annual statewide KCCD conference Saturday in the Kansas Union.
The KCCD, a statewide citizens' group dedicated to improving penal facilities and crime control and prevention efforts, was founded November 7, 1971.
The KCCD committee submitted its recommendations to the Interim Legislative Committee of the Kansas Legislature. Some of these recommendations have already been adopted, according to the committee.
The penal reform bill was passed in the waning days of the last session of the Kansas Legislature, but will not go into effect until 1974.
A SUMMARY of the recommendations was presented to conference members by Jane Sieverling, chairman of the KCCD and Forest Swall, a committee member.
According to Swall, one of the group's
recommendations was to place all the administrative power and responsibility for the new bill in the office of the Secretary of Corrections, and to give a form of judicial review of these powers to the Kansas Adult Authority.
The Secretary of Corrections and the Kansas Adult Authority are two of the three branches of the correctional system created by the Penal Reform Bill. Under the present wording of the bill, the functions of these branches overlap in several areas, Swall said.
Swall said that the recommended changes would divide the authority and the accountability of both these branches of the government, clearly defining the responsibilities of both.
Swall said that one of the problems of the ball was that the overlapping authority of who could grant a request for parole left him to himself, the prisoner who had been turned down.
He said that many times people who were eligible for parole had their requests denied for one reason or another. The KCCD recommendations would give the Kansas Adult Authority power to review these requests, Swall said.
"institutions don't have a right to deny it if that man has met the requirements."
The report also recommended that the functions of the ambudman, a one-man review board, be put under the control of the Citizens' Advisory Committee, the third judicial system. The report further set forth a selection for the Secretary of Corrections.
ONE OF THE major recommendations of the committee was that the Citizens' Advisory Committee should have increased involvement in the correctional system and should provide an educational and public relations service for the system.
Swail said that the concept of community-based correctional programs rather than institutions was part of the thrust of the bill to allow the CCD committee's recommendations.
The Penal Reform Committee supports any increase in taxes necessary to fund the needed improvements in the Kansas correctional system, Swall said.
Later Saturday afternoon, the KCCD conference split into workshops to discuss the issues.
