When Mary was caught by the Metropolitan Toronto Poi- ice in 1961 she had 25 capsules of heroine Coneeciled in her mouth, She was sentenced to five years for Trafficking•and sent to the Kingston Prison for Wo- men. In 1963 after serving three years of her live year sentence, the National Parole Board released her on parole. The Toronto Branch of the Eli- zabeth Fry Society helped supervise Mary until her parole expired early in 1966, and since that time she has been comple- tely rehabilitated. Mary of course, is not her i'eal name, but the facts are true. She never lived with her parents but was brought up by a grandmother. Mary attended school but left at age 16 and although claiming a grade 8 education, it appeared she only reached grade 6. She worked as a salesclerk and at various jobs, mostly in factories or as a waitress,: In 1948, when only 18, she started having pains in her head and became restless. Mary left home, telling many people wild stories about her family and home life and in the following year was admitted to the Ontario Hospital where she remained for several months, Mary married in 1951 and had a son, Finally, after three years of an unstable marriage, she left her husband. Mary moved to the United States and there met her first common- law husband, living with him for about a year. In 1950 she was charged with Violating the Immigration Act, but re- turned to Canada voluntarily. She then lived in Toronto where she met her second com- mon-law husband. Early in 19 59 she was charged for using drugs but gave them up in De- camber, She moved out of the city, but in 1960 received a suspended sentence and was placed on probation with charges of Uttering, Although her probation period was satisfactory, she tended to associate with the most undesirable types of people and her tuture was regarded as "very doubtful". Early in 1901 she returned to Toronto and became addicted again, Mary was also known to the police as a prostitute and an alcoholic, Throughout the time she spent in prison Mary attended school and worked in the kit - chen and sewing room. She made greeting cards and did copper work as hobbies. A much better relationship came to exist between herself and her parents, Her last com- mon-law husband, who was not an addict, was serving a five year term in the Men's Prison in Kingston for selling drugs, but Mary wanted to re- settle with him when he came aut, and hoped to have her with them. Eventually parole was grant- ad with supervision by the Eliz- abeth Fry Society. When she .iame out, Mary began to make new woman of herself and a aew life. Although at first she resented supervision she gradually re- laxed and got a job in a factory, working her way towards better money. She saved her money and eventually rented a small ap- artment. When her common- law husband was paroled from prison, he joined her there, He got a job in the same fact- ory and both began to make such a good home and life for themselves that Mary was able to have her son with them. When released from prison, Mary had been hostile, anta- gonistic and: was hard to controk but since then she learned self ,- control and patience, Although her common-law partner is still a pawned in- mate, there has been real pro. gress on his part, There is every indication that the two have now become worthwhile members of their community. This, of course, is only one of the many success stories which arise from the files of the National Parole Board. Since it was formed in 1959 the Parole Board has consistently shown a success rate of 90% of its total inmates completing their parole periods satisfactor- ily.
