Abstract
The author of this article, who is the Director of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and Secretary of the Section of Criminal Law of the American Bar Association, received his A.B. degree from Brown and his LL.B. from George Washington. When the American Military Government took over administration of its territory in Germany, Mr. Bennett was placed in charge of the Prisons Branch. He describes the German prisons he saw immediately following VE day and comments upon Nazi concepts of Justice. He believes that Hitler was able to win complete control only after the courts had been stultified and the people lost all faith in the German judicial system. Mr. Bennett suggests development of a statement of judicial fundamentals which, if violated, would afford sufficient basis for intervention of the United Nations.
