Become Prime Concern
DALLAS AP - Dr. George Beto, retired *
former head of the Texas Prison and
correctional system, predicts that penal
reform will replace poverty in the 1970s as
the prime area of social concern.
He told a group of Southern Methodist
University law students Tuesday that
reform will be a fad and will have to be
dealt with quickly to make the most of
what little time the fad Covers.
He said innovators will bring about
change in several areas:
-Texas will gain a system of probation
which will end what he called an
unthinkable situation.
-Parole will be expanded
“Many men should leave prison under
supervision rather than be free as a
bird."
-There will be reevaluation of

-State courts probably will begin

case in federal courts with the judges
determining the sentence.
-Regional detention centers will be build
across Texas.
One has to remember, Beto said, that
state prison inmates “are not normal
