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."
