PRISONS SYSTEMS.
A VACILLATING POLICY. EDUCATIONALIST'S 'CRITICISM. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Tuesday. The opinion that the prisons systems I to-day have failed because those in ' charge of the policy have not made up their minds which course they want ; to pursue and what should be the j object of that course, was expressed \ to-day by Mr -E. Salter Davies, Director of Education in Kent, and educational adviser to the Mai'distone Prison. | Mr Salter Davies favours reforma- | tive rather than a retributive and deterrent system, holding that the object should be to fit the prisoner to take liis part in normal society again. While declining comment in detail on the New Zealand system, he ex- ' pressed Hie opinion that the English \ Borstal system was superior to ours and might be made a model for all prison systems.
