              DR.   PHILIP Q. ROCHE
                       1903-1966

    This  issue of The Prison Journal is dedicated to the
memory   of  Dr. Philip  Q.  Roche, eminent   psychiatrist,
stimulating teacher, discerning advocate of better commu-
nications between psychiatry and  the law, and  a creative
and staunch  participant in the work of The  Pennsylvania
Prison Society. He  helped to plan this issue and led the
deliberations of the contributors to this publication.
    In  1961 he played a leading part in defining the So-
ciety's position which called upon the Pennsylvania General
Assembly  to replace the old Eastern State Penitentiary with
a modern   institution. From that time until his untimely
death on  July 30, 1966, Dr. Roche  provided  outstanding
leadership as an active member of the Advisory Committee
to the Legislative Task Force. His clear concept of what is
needed to help men  remake their lives was a highly signifi-
cant factor in the deliberations that resulted in the 1965
legislative break-through.
    Dr. Roche  became  a member  of the Board of Directors
of The Pennsylvania  Prison Society in 1960. In recognition
of his keen interest and intense participation in the activi-
ties of the Society, he was this year elected Vice-President.
    Perhaps  the highest tribute that can now  be paid to
his memory   is to assure the realization of his visions of
the new  institution. He proposed a pioneering program of
understanding  and treatment of  the offender through the
establishment of a  therapeutic environment. The  Society
dedicates not only this issue but its future efforts in this
direction to the fond memory  of Philip Q. Roche,  one of
our most  distinguished and active directors.
             G. RICHARD   BACON,  Executive Director
             MARVIN   E. WOLFGANG,   President
