The attor ney general is charged with enforc ing the act. “We became concerned that this was a case that presented sort of unique violations which did affect the public interest, said Chumlea. “This is not an attempt in any way to regulate the abortion process but to ensure that good, factual informa tion is given to consumers. “She alleged she was told by un trained medical personnel that cir cumstances in her case were such that she needed an abortion when in truth it may not have been the case. She alleged that the quality of care was misrepresented, that she re ceived substantially less care than she was told she would get,’’ Chumlea said. “The landmark case on abortion held that physicians (performing abortions) be licensed and meet cer tain standards. It’s reasonable to as sume that the public has the right to expect similar standards from clinics,” he said. AUSTIN — Representatives of the Department of Justice’s Com munity Relations Service should be invited to Texas prison units to observe disciplinary action against inmates involved in recent work stoppages, the director of a criminal justice reform group said Monday. Charles Sullivan, director of Citizens United for Rehabilitation of Errants (CURE), said he has written James Windham, chairman of the Board of Corrections, suggesting the Community Relations Serv ice officers be invited to each of the prison units where work stop pages occurred. The work stoppages began Oct. 5 at the Darrington Unit, near Angleton when a group of prisoners, saying they wanted to show their support for inmate lawsuits being heard in a federal court in Houston, refused to go back to the fields following the noon lunch break. Within 48 hours, the strike spread to other units and grew to 900 participants in one form or another at its height. Sullivan said the Justice Department representatives will be sent only upon request of the Department of Corrections, and said the department has thus far shown no interest in extending such an in vitation. He called on political leaders and the state’s newspapers to pres sure the Department of Corrections to invite the federal observers to the prison units. Sullivan suggested the observers be kept in the prisons until all disciplinary action against inmates involved in the work stoppages has ended. Prison director W.J. Estelle has said the disciplinary actions may take as long as six months. The CURE director said he thinks there is a significant potential for continued violence in the prison units, and the potential could be lessened by the presence of Justice Department observers. Sullivan said his organization has received only scattered reports from prison inmates since the work strikes began, but said at least one inmate expressed fear of reprisals by prison officials.
