subject was involved in a great deal of debate on this
question of preventive detention, and elected to recom-
mend that there be no preventive detention implicit in the
idea of bail and the reason that they did that was because
after the experiment in the District of Columbia, there was
so little recidivism that they felt it unfair and unwise
to place any restriction for that reason on the release
of people pending bail. I can show you all the statistics,
Delegate Scanlan, if you want to see them, but the example
you cite is exactly the reason why preventive detention
has been rejected by some very prestigious authorities.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are you ready for the question?
The question--the Clerk will ring the quorum
bell.
i The question arises on the motion to reconsider
the vote by which Amendment No. 12 was adopted. A vote
Aye is a vote in favor of reconsideration. A vote No a
vote against.
If the motion is carried. Amendment 12 will be
before you for further action. A vote Aye, a vote for re-
consideration, a vote No, a vote against.
