‘■There is an urgent need for an investigation into many things which are not in the interest of the prisoners or the public,” said Mr C. R. N. Mackie, speaking at a luncheon held by the Howard League for Penal Reform in Christchurch. "The penal system in New Zealand is very much behind the systems in Great Britain and the United States," he said. Mi’ Mackie referred also to a recommendation that had been made for a motion from the Christchurch branch of the league, urging prison reform, to be referred to the Government for favourable consideration. It had also been recommended, he said that a Parliamentary committee be set up to investigate the whole of the penal system in the Dominion.
