RELEASE OF PRISONERS
DECISIONS BY BOARD (THE SUN'S Parliamentary Reporter) PARLIAMENT BLDGS., Wed. Appointments to the Prisons Board, which are purely honorary, are made from persons who 'are considered to be specially qualified for the position by reason of their experience i;i judicial, social and institutional work. This was the answer given by the Hon. T. M. Wilford, Minister of Justice, in reply to a question by Mr. W. E. Barnard, Napier. Mr. Wilford said that there was no rule that the Prisons Board should base its decisions upon the report, or opinion of the Controller-General of Prisons. The board, in determining a prisoner’s fitness for release, based its decision upon reports received from various sources dealing with his previous history, character, conduct and mental and physical condition.
