doctors violated the Texas Decep
tive Trade Practices Act. 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.
