HOMOSEXUAL PROSECUTIONS
SIR,—Your correspondent, Mr. R. D. Reid, says that the Homosexual Law Reform Society 'seems to have Persuaded many authorities . . . that it is not only cruel, but ridiculous to lock up homosexuals together in close confinement.' This excellent body does not seem to have persuaded the authorities in -Glamor- ganshire, where two youths were convicted earlier this year of homosexual offences committed in a prison cell.
1 got this piece of news—which I think has sad- dened and angered me more than anything I can remember reading in a newspaper—from a report on overcrowding in prisons by Mr. Alan Brown, MP, in the Guardian of May 10. In the same issue, I read that the Home Secretary had told Captain Kerby in a written reply that it would still be premature to in- troduce legislation to amend the existing law on male homosexual offences.—Yours faithfully,
