Relief sought for inmates

AUSTIN — Three members of
the Board of Corrections,
approved Tuesday for confirma
tion by the Senate, told a subcom
mittee that overcrowding is a
problem that must be solved re
gardless of any federal court
orders.

of prisoners in a December opin
ion but postponed ordering re
medies until this month.
One proposed solution to over
crowding, community’based cor
rections, received mixed re
sponses from the three appoin
tees, whose names will go to the
Senate for confirmation.
The appointees are Clifford F.
Smith Jr. of Houston, Harry M.
Whittington of Austin and H.B.
Zachry Jr. of San Antonio.
Asked about community-based
corrections. Smith told the Nomi
nations Subcommittee, “I am sup-
S ortive of anything that would
elp us relieve some of these over
crowded conditions.”
Whittington, however, pointed
out that such programs take time
to set up, are likely to run into
community opposition and may be
expensive.
He suggested other solutions,
including work release, transfer of
retarded prisoners to other insti
tutions and early release for some
types of offenders.
“Overcrowding is a serious
problem not only for the health
and conditions of the inmates but
just for the fact of three people in a
cell,” Zachry said. “We’ve got to
get them off the floor. Overcrowd
ing has been and continues to be
out number one problem.”
Charles Sullivan, executive
director of Citizens United for Re
habilitation of Errants, a prisoner
advocacy group, told the subcom
mittee that CURE supports the
appointments of all three.
All have served on the board at
least since 1979.
The subcommittee also
approved the nomination for reap
pointment of Lyndon Olson Jr. of
Waco to the State Board of Insur-
ance. Olson, 34, was first
appointed to the board by former
Gov. Dolph Briscoe.
Herbert Snow Harris Jr., was
approved for reappointment to
the Industrial Accident Board.
Harris said the board’s greatest
problem is administering the
Crime Victims Compensation
Act.
“For all practical purposes
we’re out of money now and in
deed in debt,” he said. “We’re
going to get deeper and deeper in
debt. ”
Harris said that by the end of
January, the board had processed
$120,000 in claims for which there
are no funds.
Sen. Chet Brooks, D-
^Pasadena, said he and Sen. Peyton
McKnight, D-Tyler, are co-spon-
soring a bill to increase the amount
of money available for compensat
ing victims of crime. The bill
would close some loopholes in col
lection of court costs for the fund
and would add a small fee col
lected from persons convicted of
Class C misdemeanors.
The subcommittee also
approved the nominations of Vit
torio K. Argento, John Lindsey
Blair and Jack D. Kilian to the Air
Control Board.

United Press International
CORPUS CHRISTI — Ruben Bonilla, national president of the
League of United Latin American Citizens, said Tuesday heisoneofia
Hispanic leaders invited to meet in the White House with President
and Mrs. Reagan.
Bonilla said the meeting Thursday, which will be a working lun
cheon, could provide an opportunity for him as LULAC’s leader to
“dramatize the economic plight of Hispanic Americans."
H e said it would be a chance “to lend support to those policies uteh
we can support but engage in a candid discussion of the proposed
domestic cutbacks, which could have a harmful impact on the poor
“We recognize there are significant philosophical differences.’
Bonilla continued, “but as Hispanics, we are determined to support
those governmental policies which will promote greater employment
and productivity in our nation.”
