Did you ever stop to consider how many Americans are found guilty each year of offenses for which they are sent to prison? Only a little thought will make you realize that it must be a dismal and appalling number.

An annual crime crop that runs into hundreds of thousands of men and women. roughly the same as jailing the entire population of a big city. Each year, likewise, the prison cells release thousands upon thousands of prisoners.

Most of them come out on parole. Tonight's case from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation deals with one of these parole men. This particular file was chosen because it illustrates a great and glaring weakness in our parole system.

A weakness which can and should be corrected. Tonight's file opens in the visiting room of a state prison. An attractive woman sits on a bench before the huge wire screen that separates the prisoners from visitors.
