I RETURNED from vacation to the news that 19 young men had been ejected from a Correctional Camp which had been established to deal with delinquent youths. I was delighted to hear of the establishment of the Correctional Camp as I regard such a project as highly desirable and essential at this time. However, I was instinctively disturbed at the fact that the worst offenders would be deprived of the benefits of this camp.
It would seem to me that while those who remain are in need of this training, the greater problem lies in setting loose on society so many young men whose anti-social behaviour appears incorrigible, and the better course would be to find some alternative measure with even stricter disciplinary measures in an effort to redeem them.
I, therefore, respectfully make this recommendation to the relevant authorities.
