Get Your Lives Straightened Out

(From Page-1) ticipate in the program ap^ pear to be deeply moved by what they see and hear. He added that the program is not the Scared Straight approach initiated a Jew years ago at Rahway State Prison, or more recently at the Cumberland County Jail. In Scared Straight, prisoners actually use physical and psychological intimidation toward youths who have been involved in serious crime problems. In Cape May, however, the program's approach is stfictly educational — generally geared toward youngsters of any economic and social background ACCORDING TO the sheriff, success of the program hinges on the fact that youngsters at this age ace able to easily identify with those inmates who are only a few years older than themselves and have already had bad experience with drugs and alcohol. •’They’re (inmates) more credible to the students at this age than an authority figure such'as a policeman,” Mr. FOx said. ' ft’s rough in here Ijaill. It's ho piontc. You hove to . <fo things when they tell

you. You have to eat when they tell you — Sleep when they tell you. It’s hard to ■ get even a bag of. potato chips — . something you take for granted on the outJdde. 'While you're young, get your lives straightened out. This; is the advice one in-mates-gave some 20 Sea 'Isle City 7th grade students when they visited the Jail earlier this fall. THE FIVE-MEMBER panel of inmates, all incarcerated on different ' charges, exchanged tales «of how alcohol and experimentation with drugs had led them to lives Of crime at an early age. One of the more vocal was drug offender Jim Clary. "I always thought using drugs was cool," he said. “But look where it's got me'— in jail." Cautioning 'the youngsters about ^experimenting with drugV he added, "There’s not one drug you can control. They control you." The other inmates agreed, relating personal accounts of how alcohol and drugs had led them to commit arson, burglaries and nume>ous other crimes. Were you pressured Into

using drugs? one student asked.. You never get pressured into it, inmate .Rodney Frazier responded. "You just fall into it." THE INMATES - who came from different economic and social backgrounds — cautioned the youngsters from falling for peer t pressure and "go- - ing along witlv the crowd." They emphasised this goes for consumption of alcohol as well as drugs. Inmate James King convtended alcohol was at the. root of his problems. "Liquor ain‘t no good," he warned. "Everybody was doing it so I tried it," he said. ■ . FOR MORE than a half hour the inmates discussed and answered student questions, concerning the causes of crime and problems among today’s youth.-Other personal ox'periences they # described included the horrors of drug withdrawal, and at|tompted suicides. One inmate said what was on everybody’s mind in a few simple words: doA’t want you lyoungstersl to get where we are. There's nothing more important than being free

releasing recent "field reports" orrlhe operations of various city departments, that in opinibn, are misleading and full of inaccuracies. But while the commissioner strongly objected to the reports that said (here is neglect and inefficiency in the water dept, and presented the status of some city equipment — such as lawnmowers — in a bad light, Charter Study chairman Victor DiSylvester pointed to the fact that commissioners cannot be forced to remain silet as they colledt information about how the city operated. He emphasized that when the results are documented, they may not be the diplomatic description of facts city officials would like.
