Abstract
THE AUTHOR CONCLUDES THAT 'THE GENERAL NEED FOR A PRIVATE AGENCY IN THE CORRECTIONAL AREA REMAINS, FOR SERVICE TO OFFENDERS, FOR THE PROMOTION OF A BETTER OVER-ALL CORRECTIONAL PROGRAM FOR THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH THEY OPERATE, AND ALSO FOR INCREASING AVAILABLE CRIMINOLOGICAL AND CORRECTIONAL KNOWLEDGE.'
