59 Prison J. 1 (1979)

handle is hein.journals/prsjrnl59 and id is 1 raw text is: Editorial The next issue of The Prison journal will be on Parole, and we had intended to enclose some of the following material at that time. Just as we were going to press, however, the Governor of Pennsylvania, in his message to the legislature, called for the abolition of parole in the Commonwealth. Not wishing to wait, therefore, we are reprinting here a letter from this writer to the Governor and an earlier letter in which we joined with others to recommend the retention of parole release in the Federal Crime Code. The significance of the latter letter is that the signers are all persons who over the years have argued for sentencing determinacy. At this point in history, however, we feel that parole boards which fix expected release dates earlier in the sentence seem to be reducing dis- parity more than any other currently functioning system. We promise to say more on all this in the next issue. R.A.D. I
