HITS LONG JAIL TERMS
Heavy, Sentences Won't Break Up
Crime, Saya -Warden McKenty
Long prison sentences win not break
up rime, according to Robert' .T. Mc
Kenty, warden of Hxq Eastern Peniten
tiary. lie expressed thisoplnlon nt tho fifth
annual convention of tho International
Federation of Big Brothers and Sisters,
which opened yesterday at No. 25 South
Van Pelt street.
A. heavy sentence doc not mean any
thing to a criminal, McKenty said, as
ho never expects to get caught. lie ex
pressed the belief that judges who im
posed such sentences were adopting
wrong tactics.
As a means of checking crime, Charles
Sdwin Fox, Assistant District Attorney
and president of the Big Brothers of
Philadelphia, urged welfare work among
youthful offenders, rather than criminal
prosecution.
