Seigler, addressing the Clinton Kiwanis Club last Thursday, said that is the guiding philosophy of the S. C. Dept, of Corrections. He said, “Confinement is pun ishment enough.” Seigler said that in 1960, the warden of Joilette Prison came to South Carolina to study the state’s penal system. After the study, he said he was “very dis appointed” in the state system. He returned in 1965 and said, “South Carolina’s penal system has gone from 0 to 100." Seigler explained the South Carolina penal system and said, “We try to return convicts to so ciety as tax paying citizens who can contribute to society.” He said that upon admission to a prison, prisoners are given aptitude and IQ tests. He said, ‘We try to find their skills and help prisoners to develop them." He pointed out that convicts can learn many trades in prison and can further their education. At the present, there are 1,260 in mates involved in fulltime edu cational programs, 1,146 in aca demic programs and 175 in voca tional programs. Any illiterate who is sentenced to one of the state prisons must take an academic program to learn to read and write. Seigler, a nativeofCreenwood, said that the average achievement level of prisoners when they are admitted to prison is seventh grade for men and ninth grade for women. Seigler praised the success of the state’s work-release pro gram whereby prisoners serve their last 90 days in special vo irk- release centers. They work at various jobs on the outside dur ing the day and spend their nights at the work-release center. Since the program was initiated in 1966, prisoners have earned a total of $211,000. He said, “That money is tm- portant because it helps the faini- ly in a time of hardship and it helps the confidence of the pri soner. The first 90 days outside the prison are the hardest knd we are trying to help them over this period through the wribk- release program.” William D. Leeke, directoif of the S. C. Department of Correc tions, was scheduled to address the Kiwanians but was unable to attend the meeting and Seigler pinch-hit for him. * + * You can give white cotton gloves a crisp, like-new ap pearance with spray starwi.
