Dear Dr. Van Waters

Chief Justice Tauro requested that I acknowledge and thank
you for your kind letter concerning the defendant, Walter Hayes,
presently an inmate at the jail at Dedham and working under the
Work Release Program of Sheriff Hedges.

From the reports given to this office, the program is
proving to be very worthwhile, and in time we hope to see it
expanded throughout other correctional institutions of the
Commonwealth. You have always, in your long career, bene in
favor of progressive correctional rehabilitation programs, and
we are grateful for your continued interest.

The Chief Justice sends his best wishes. It was good to
hear from you again.

Yours very truly,

Edward J Kelly

Administrative Assistant to the Chief Justice
