Presidents Messa e "The Criminal Justice System Is Failing To Adequately Fulfill Its Obligation" The Criminal Justice System, composed of Law Enforce- ment, Courts and Corrections, exists for the sole purpose of pro- tecting the lives and the civil and property rights of our people. Law Enforcement's primary role in this system is to detect and apprehend those committing criminal acts. The Court's primary function is to assure all accused individuals a fair and impartial trial and to give appropriate sentences to those found guilty. Correction's primary role is to take charge of those sen- tenced and to keep them in prison or under supervision until such time as they are eligible to reenter society. And, it's the responsibility of the Legislative bodies, which must be consid- ered salient members of the Criminal Justice System, to ade- quately fund and responsively influence the philosophy of the system. ii *r Despite its well intended purposes, the Criminal Justice Sys- tem is failing to adequately fulfill its obligation. This is evidenced by many things, but most notably, the ever increasing rate of violent crimes against the individual. ttn I am sure there are a number of reasons why the Criminal Justice System is failing to achieve its goals; reasons that are not as clearly defined as auto theft statistics, or as clearly reportable as the number of persons committed to the Florida Penal Sys- tem. They are intangible reasons that are difficult to recognize and even harder to define. I'm referring to what appears to be change for the pure sake of change and an increasing lack of responsiveness to the public by many of our elected and appointed officials. I realize that change is the law of life and change must come if we are to survive, but change for the sake of change is often disastrous and almost always grossly expensive. To better explain, let me cite a few examples of this "change for the sake of change. "There is a bill prefiled in the legislature that would change the name of the Florida Highway Patrol to the Florida State Troopers and place a major portion of all Sheriff Raymond Hamlin, President (continued on next page) MARCH —APRIL 1974 John Whitehead Sam Joyce Joe Crevasse Monroe Brennan John A.

Sheriff Raymond Hamlin, President President% Message to be the subject of a pre-trial investigation by a state agency to determine whether or not an arrested individual should even be (continued) brought to trial. The prosecution of an accused person has always been and should remain the prerogative of Law Enforcement and locally elected State Attorneys. There also is a bill pending that state law enforcement under its jurisdiction. This bill, which is would make low interest loans available to inmates released from not sponsored by the Florida Highway Patrol, would strike at the corrections system. Theoretically, this bill might have merit, the very heart of local law enforcement. but I fail to see placing additional burdens on the taxpayer to As another example, there is a popular movement underway subsidize loans for convicted felons, and not for every Floridian— to remove control of the jails from the Sheriffs and place them especially victims of crime. under the jurisdiction of the state in the form of "Regional Change for the sake of change is a dangerous thing, but per- Correctional Facilities.

Mr. Waxman's opening statement is enclosed. Attached is testimony given by Congressman Steve Bartlett of Texas, Senator Chafee, and the Congressional Budget Office. Also enclosed is a side-by-side comparison of the two bills and current Medicaid law developed by the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress.. Senator Bentsen has agreed to mark up Senator Chafee's bill early in the 101st Congress. Should Senator Bentsen become the Vice-President, Senator Matsunaga of Hawaii would become Senate Finance Committee Chairman and would, in all likelihood, be agreeable to moving forward. Congressman Waxman, while not going as far as to discuss mark-up on either his or Florio's bill, did agree, in both his opening and closing statements, to work with Congressman Florio on a compromise early in the next Congress. A list of current co-sponsors of the Chafee/Florio bills is attached. We need to keep all those returning Senators and Congressman on-board when this process begins anew in January. For those in your Congressional delegations who are not current co-sponsors, plan some visits to programs while they are home campaigning this fall and over the holidays.

It begins in 1783 during the last days of British rule and ends with the first generation of news websites. Old yellowed newspapers, rolls of microfilm, and archived web pages not only preserve stories about the history of Florida and the world, but they also give us insight into the people who have worked for the state’s newspapers. This chronology only scratches the surface of a very long and complex story, but hopefully it will serve as a useful reference tool for researchers and journalism historians.
