Since it opened in July, the 40 women and 35 men "residents" (the term "prisoner" is passe) have been eating, working and playing together routinely. Sexual activity is banned. Anyone caught...
Measured by the most recent FBI figures, the national crime rate is soaring: up 6% in 1973, up 15% in the first three months of this year. In Orange, Calif, (pop. 83,900), the statistics reflect a refreshing change. City Manager Gifford Miller has a ready answer: Orange's pilot project of anticrime wage incentives for its 118-member police force...
