The responsibility of the Jewish community in absorbing and helping to rehabilitate former prison inmates was emphasized today at a conference of about 50 Jewish prison chaplains from several states — the first such parley ever held.
Resolutions were adopted for formation of a committee to plan a program of action for prisoners’ rehabilitation, to make the conference an annual meeting and to establish an organization to make the public conscious of ex-convicts’ problems and to facilitate their re-orientation in society.
