Crowded cells major issue in suit United Press International AUSTIN — The state and plain tiffs in a massive suit challenging operations of Texas prisons are near agreement concerning im proved medical care for inmates, but the state will never agree to a demand for separate cells for each of the 30,000 inmates. Attorney General Mark White said Tuesday. White said he expects the agreement concerning medical 9 care to be filed by Friday with U.S. District Judge William Wayne Justice in Tyler. The attor ney general said each side in the suit is expected to suggest solu tions to other prison problems, such as overcrowding, the guard- inmate ratio and number of in mates allowed per cell. “Our proposal is to submit an agreed plan where we can. Where we can’t, we will submit our plan and they will submit their plan, and the judge can choose one or the other or something in be tween,” White said. The federal judge instructed Texas to come up with a plan for providing separate cells for each of the 30,000 prison inmates, some of whom are now housed three to a cell. White said an emergency $35 million construction program to provide sleeping quarters by Nov. 1 for 2,880 inmates will enable the prisons to keep two inmates per cell and give beds to about 2,600 inmates now required to sleep on floors. Asked if the state would ever agree to the one-man, one-cell concept. White replied, “No sir, never.” “Ov^'-nrowding is the central feature oi mis whole lawsuit,” he said. “Three people are in cells originally designed for one and then adapted for two, and as a re sult we’ve got three people in cells of 60 to 65 square feet. We’re trying to get these people off the floor, that’s the main thing we re trying to accomplish right now.” White said the state will appeal the portion of Justice’s order pro hibiting keeping two inmates in a cell, saying such housing arrange ments are neither unconstitution al nor correctionally unaccept able. The attorney general said he will oppose any efforts to place a freeze on prison population, or to release inmates before they are ready to return to society. “I don’t think the people of this state want to let prisoners out just because they are crowded,” he said. Haynes said he would nottolf ate any more “unprofessioni treatment of Mrs. Daniel byof ! cials in Liberty County. Haynes said items irrelevanltf any criminal inquiry such as lit driver’s license, purse, cosmefc financial records and her cli dren’s birth certificates wen taken Feb. 4 by Eckols.

No word had been received from the original plaintiffs in the case nor from the NAACP, Gil liam said. However, the NAACP did not greet the idea favorably last week. “I don’t know what would be accomplished in that meeting,” said NAACP attorney Ernest Haywood. “In a nutshell, the NAACP doesn’t decide legal mat ters without attorneys. If any NAACP official did attend, you can rest assured the NAACP would not make any decision in that meeting.” U.S. District Judge William M. Taylor Jr. is scheduled to begin the rehearing of the desegregation case as ordered by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans nearly three years ago.
