All inmate editor of the Michi-
gan i¢.eformatory's "Hilltop News"
v,r,)te, t.he fo'.h)wing editorial in
1957 when Dr. Garrett Heyns was
namt~d by Governor Albert D. Ros-
eliini as Director of the Washing-
ton ~lalc Department of Institu-
tions:
"Perhupu the most significant
story behind Dr. Heyns' appoint-
ment to the post of Director of
Washington State Institutions, is
that today, at the age of 65, he
is willing to 'accept a challenge.'
"Thin attitude is in keeping with
a man who has spent two decades
integrating educationinto the
Michigan penal system.
"Dr. Heyns realized his first
goal in the Corrections Depart-
ment tl~rough the initial opening
of tl~e Cassidy Lake Technical
School, at Chelsea, Mich., a trusty
camp wi~li educational facilities
for youthful offenders.
"During his term as Corrections
Director, he focused his attention
to the most logical spot to prevent
recurrancc of crime ..the Michigan
Reformatory, housing young fel-
ons. Emphasis was put on voca-
tional training and academic back-
ground. The educational approach
began payin~ off statistically with
reduced number of lecidivists.
"This man,. who is literally a
walking philosopher, has done
more for Michigan's prison system
in general, and more for the Mich-
igan Reformatory in particular,
than any other person.
"Washington's Governor Albert
Rosellini made the right move
when he beckoned to Dr. Garrett
Heyns, one of the country's most
outstanding penologists, to direct
the Washington institutions.
"After seeing his educational
plans manifested in an over-all
'youth approach' here in Michigan,
Dr. Heyns will now attempt to
introduce the people of the state
of Washington to his philosophy
and policies on corrective treat-
ment
"The people of Michigan--tax-
payers, officials and particularly
prison inmates, will miss this great
man---but will always be grateful'
for having known him."
DR. HEYNS had been warden
of the Michigan Reformatory--an
institution with approximately
