Descripción:
New York State Governor Thomas E. Dewey signs a bill concerning sex offenders based on a study of 102 convicted offenders at Sing Sing Prison. The bill added a new section to the Mental Hygiene Law that directed that all psychiatric personnel in correctional institutions be under the control and supervision of the Commissioner of Mental Hygiene. It gave the Department of Mental Hygiene the direct duty of supplying psychiaric services to correctional institutions and removed control from the Department of Corrections. Representing the Department of Mental Hygiene are Deputy Commissioner Dr. Arthur W. Pense (extreme left) and Commissioner Dr. Frederick MacCurdy (behind Gov. Dewey).
