The sixth annual report of the Jewish Committee for Personal Service in State Institutions of California has just been made public.
The committee aids Jewish inmates in State institutions and assists them toward rehabilitation.
The committee recommends a mental hygiene program for the State, with a thorough survey of State instiutions, a suitable psychopathic hospital service and a complete system of out-patient work and an after-care program.
Rabbi Rudolph I. Coffee, president of the committee, announces that, following a recent meeting in Los Angeles to consider the mental hygiene problems of the State, Gov. C. C. Young indicated his approval of the movement and that steps are to be taken in the near future to put plans into practice.
Rabbi Coffee announced that the Community Chests of San Francisco and Los Angeles have agreed to increase their contributions to the Jewish Committee’s funds.
