NY Jewish Family Services
Aids Jewish Prisoner, Family

By BEN GALLOB

(Copyright 1976, JTA, Inc.)

More than 1,000 Jewish
men and women inmates of
eight prisons in New York
State sought and received
help from Jewish Family
Service counselors in the
period between 1970 and
1975, according to a report
by the agency.
The agency's social reha-
bilitation division provides
help to the Jewish criminal,
to the ex-criminal and to his
family during both his in-
carceration and post-prison
adjustment.
A spokesman reported
that the number of Jews in
prison has been declining
steadily. One explanation
offered is that the criminal
justice system is now more
concerned with lawbreakers
involved in highly visible
nd dangerous street crimes
than with "white collar"
criminals — those whose
offenses include writing of
bad checks, embezzlement
of funds and similar crimes.
The spokesman said
Jewish offenders usually
are in the latter category
and frequently are not sent
to jail. But in recent years,
the spokesman said, there
has been a slight increase
in the number of Jews
imprisoned for drug abuse.
Prison life for. Jewish in-
mates, as for inmates gener-
ally, is a grim affair but
with a particular harass-
ment. As members of the

minority group, the spokes-
man said, Jewish inmates
are often forced into the role
of scapegoats. Because they
are often judged as a group,
rather than as individuals,
Jewish prisoners react by
tending to stick together.
The spokesman said that
one way this group feeling
manifests itself is in attend-
ance at religious services in
prison, a regularity of at-
tendance which for many of
them was a practice rarely
or never maintained "on the
outside." One result is that
the Jewish inmates often es-
tablish a relationship with
the prison rabbi who may
help the prisoner handle
problems in prison. But if
the inmate has concerns
about his family, he is re-
ferred to a JFS counselor.
JFS couseling is pro-
vided to inmates in six
prisons in the New York
metropolitan area and to
10 correctional facilities
in upstate New York. Help
is provided in face-to-face
meetings and via the mail.
JFS counselors maintain
an extensive and continu-
ing correspondence with
the prisoner and his fam-
ily, which concerns not
only current problems but
also the need for getting a
job after release.
The program at the pris-
ons consists of provision of
counseling services by a
specially assigned JFS
worker.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kup-
fer of Oak Park announce
the engagement of their
daughter, Irene, to Daniel
Biber, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Max Biber of Southfield.
Miss Kupfer earned a
bachelor's degree at the
University of Michigan,
where she is completing the
master's degree program in
the history of art. Her
fiance earned a BFA degree
from the Center for Creative
Studies.
An August wedding is
planned.
