Jan. l5 —(CP) Efforts to have a reformatory for ‘medium-term prisoners establish- .‘ ed in the Maritimcs still are being . pursued by the Nova Scotia Gov- icrnment, Attorney-General J. H. MacQuarl-ie announced: today. He iadded that his department was seeking an organizer and superin- tendent for the proposed institu- tion. The Attorney-General said dis- icussions had been going on for l some time between Nova Scotia and Ottawa Justice Department , New Brunswick and lPriuce Edward Islttn had sup- ported Nova Scotias proposal for la Maritime institution as part of the federal prison and refor- maiory system. The proposal for a federally administered Mari- iiimc reformatory was a recom- mendation of (he Archambault report. Provincial authorities in Nova Scotia now are making a survey of the number of prisoners do- ing medium terms who would serve their sentences in such an institution rather than ln local- or county jails. Opening olt such an institution would remove prisoners serving terms of between 60 days and two years from county jails. many of which are overcrowded.
