Johnson discussed both inter- na and external conditions which he indicated did not con- tribute to general rehabilitation at the prison. When asked if he thought all prisoners could be rehabilitated, Johnson, answered, defended the prison system. "I don't think we - know enough about human behavior to make that state- ment," he said, "We can iso- late our dangerous prisoners. The mere presence of a prison is a deterrent to potential crimi- Nixon states Canada not to be 'colony WASHINGTON (P - Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau reported yesterday that President Nixon wants Canada to shape her future on her own, and not as "a colony of the United States of America." Nixon's assurance emerged as a central theme in the Canadian's account of his Moday White House visit-the first of Nion's five such sessions with allied lead- es in advance of his trips to Peking and Moscow. Trudeau tolds a news confer. ence Nixon had made "a fantas tically new statement" for anU.S. president on America's long range intent toward her northern neigh- bor. Canadians recurringly are wor-. ied about being lost in the sha- dow of the U.S., particularly in the field of economics. "The President said some things which to me are unequaled by any other president in speaking about Canada," Trudeau related. He said Nixon's assurances were "certainly. satisfactory to me that the United States not only wants to respect our political iden- tity but our eonomic identity." He reported that Nixon had compared Canada's aversion to dependence on U.S. investment to- slay with U.S. dislike after World War I of American dependence on European investment. "We understand perfectly that the Canadians are in the same poition, Trudeau quoted Nixonyas! saying, "and we will do every- thing to prevent them from not feeling in a way that they are a Glony of the United States of America." Trudeau spoke of the Nixon assurance as the main "break- through" from his White House conference. He offered few details on specific issues which he said are still under discussion between lower-level U.S. and Canadian of- ficials. An important Canadian goal in the economic field in removal of the 10 per cent U.S. import surtax which Nixon imposed last August in his emergency program to im- prove the sagging U.S, balance of trade. nals. I don't think that the pri- sons are a deterrent to the pri- soners that are already in them." Johnson admitted that the "predatory homosexual" is the most serious danger to the pri- son population. He said that 75- 80 per cent of all prison stab- bings were related to violent homosexuality. As for alternatives to pri- sons, Johnson suggested an al- ternative to prisons which would be somewhere between probation and prison. He cited a two-year-old pro- gram called Community Center Placement, in which a nan ac- tually serves his prison sentence back in the community in hous- ing approved and supervised by prison officials. "I feel that this is a reasonable alternative to the prison system," he said. Johnson spoke briefly about sgregation, or placement in iso- lation, of "dangerous" prisoners. He said men weresegregated be- cause the constituted a "threat to the order and security of the institution. Johnson refused to comment on the reasons for Rainbow People's Party leader John Sin- clair being in segregation at Jackson State. When asked if capital punish- mient is a deterrent to crime, Warden Johnson answered, "In the state of Michigan, we've never had an operational death penalty." He said the only possible jus- tification for capital punish- ment would be if it could be absolutelydemonstrated that a substantial number of lives have been saved by the execu- tion. In the area of vocational and academnic pursuits, Johnson re- ported that about 1,700 of Jack- son's 5.200 prisoners are involv- ed in some sort of schooling. As far as vocational pursuits go, Johnson sees a need to totally revam~p the facilities for voca- tional training at Jackson. "Just this last month, we started experimenting with a project of busing trustee~divi- sion inmates to Jackson Junior College at night when the vo- cational training facilities are not used by public school stu- dents, he said. "We're busing about 75 men and we have just gotten started. I think it's a trend in the right direction because even if we do update our own vocational training, we cant possibly stay abreast of things as the years go by and we can't offer the variety that a public education facility can. So this is one way of availing ourselves of a much broader training facility." Johnson discussed counselor services, at the prison, saying presently they were less than adequate. "If you divide the number of counselors into the number of men, the case load is about 250 now. I will say that about 15 per cent get the kind of coun- selor service they should have. As soon as we can add the Add- ed positions, we're going to im- prove it much more than, let's say, 30 per cent." Johnson said that because Jackson is so large disciplinary procedures have to be fairly for- mal. About a year ago, a prison- er - advocate system was im- plemented at the prison. The system calls for the members of the staff to be assigned as advocates for the prisoners on a rotating basis, a first in any major penitentiary. In the area of employment for prisoners, Johnson said he fels that there is a definite lack of meaningful work for meaningful pay for the pris- oners. "We have about 500 chronic- ally unemployed men in Jack- son. We have under-employed a good many more than that. 110a One-Acts, Arena Thdatrb, MP' jIiee CAREER PLANNING & PLACEMENT Daily Omeial BulleluxANIG&PLCMN D i ,Of iilB leis Bldg., X4:10 pm. 13200 ..B WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER Gilbert and Sullivan Society: "The JOBS IN A.A.
