House kills bill to pay inmates United Press International AUSTIN — Texas prison inmates have been making Illinois license plates but now the state plans to make its own tags, an action one lawmaker contends means state prison inmates can t be paid $1 a day for their work. The House abruptly killed a bill Monday authorizing $l-a-day pay for Texas prison inmates. The vote came after House members were warned profits from the sale of merchandise made by inmates would not be suffi cient to fund the plan, which would cost $6.5 million annually. Rep. Joe Hernandez, D-San An tonio, argued sales of materials pro duced by Department of Corrections inmates last year totaled almost $25 million, and said that would easily finance a prisoner pay plan propo nents claimed would reduce prob lems within prison walls. But Rep. Jimmie Edwards, D-Conroe, chairman of the House Committee on Security and Sanc tions, said the $25 million figure in cluded $9 million from the manufac ture of license plates for the state of Illinois. He said that contract will not be Jt/p?naml>a Eddie Dominguez '66 Joe Arciniega 74 renewed because the Illinois prison is building its own plant to produce license plates. Hernandez’ bill would have drawn the money for the $l-a-day pay from the prison system’s Industrial Re volving Fund, which was established to receive revenue from sale of prison products and purchase equipment and raw materials for manufacturing programs. “With the cost of this bill from the Industrial Revolving Fund, you’re going to bust it, you’re going to bank rupt it. The Industrial Revolving Fund cannot take this kind of bill to pay inmates $1 a day,” Edwards said. He said the prison system would have to sharply increase the prices it charges other state and local agen cies for prison-made products in order to support the inmate pay pro gram. Rep. Matt Garcia, D-San Antonio, said similar programs are in effect in 47 other states, and urged House members to adopt the pay plan. He also said he would offer an amend ment to provide half the pay re ceived by the inmates could he used to reimburse victims of their crimes. But House members approved 69-59 Edwards’ motion to table the bill without hearing any of the pro posed amendments. The vote kills the issue for the session unless Her nandez can persuade some represen tatives to change their votes.
