State Deadline set for prison reformsRej S) !> N S s s N s S United Press International HOUSTON — The federal judge, who last December found the nation’s largest prison system guilty of massive violations of in mate rights, now has set deadlines for reduced overcrowding and said Texas must stop taking in mates if the deadlines are not met. U.S. District Judge William Wayne Justice ended the trial stage of the 9-year-old Texas pris on reform case Monday with a sweeping final decree, refusing Texas Attorney General Mark White’s request for more time to negotiate with lawyers for plaintiff inmates and the intervening U.S. Justice Department. White, who said the order ex ceeded constitutional require ments and w'ould cost the state at least $3 billion, said he planned to appeal to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. However, a Texas Department of Corrections spokesman said the state might be able to meet the first deadline Nov. 1 even if it loses the first round of appeals. Justice, who earlier had approved a partial consent decree in which the state agreed to im prove inmate medical care and make other changes, Monday ordered TDC to double its guard to inmate ratio, reorganize prisons into smaller administrative units and start reducing overcrowding immediately. By Aug. 1, 1983, Justice said TDC — which has 30,000 inmates and many inmates housed three and four to a cell —- can have no more than one inmate in each cell. He ordered the change accom plished in stages, making max imum use of parole, early release, work furlough and minimum security programs. By next Nov. 1, the judge said the state must reduce its total population to twice the number of prison cells plus the number of prisoners who could be housed in dormitories affording each inmate at least 40 square feet of space. If TDC fails to meet this dead line, “they shall not, until further order of the court, accept any further prisoners for confinement until the population falls below such afigure,” Justice’s order said. TDC spokesman Rick Hartley said TDC now has 10,000 cells and 6,000 to 8,000 inmates in dormi tories. He said a $35 million emergency legislative appropria tion was financing three tempor ary units to house 2,750 inmates by November. He said new women’s units would clear 1,400 more beds. He said the new beds plus increased furloughs planned makes Justice’s deadline feasible. By Nov. 1, 1982, Justice said TDC must reduce its total popula tion to 1.5 times the number of cells plus the number of inmates that can be housed in dormitories affording 60 square feet of space. By Nov. 1, 1983, the total popula tion must equal the number of cells plus 60-square-foot dorm spaces. In addition. Justice ordered TDC to double its guard-to- inmate ratio, from the current one guard for 11 inmates to one for every six by Nov. 1, 1982. He ordered TDC to reorganize its prisons into 500-inmate adminis trative units. Several TDC units house 2,000 inmates or more.

He forbade construction of new prisons farther than 50 miles from cities of 200,000 without proving the work force will provide enough guards. That order could affect plans for a new prison in Grimes County and one under construction in Anderson County. He ordered changes in discipline and complaint procedures to pro tect inmate rights and ordered TDC to comply with state safety codes. true reports the covery from a bu "We're not required by ttie.his lung will tal stitution to build hotels forpr, than originally ai ers,” he told reporters. “M Reagan has i talking about several billion family quarters si dollars, maybe three or fom the White House lion dollars just for prison (Ben reports he struction.

Speaking to students and busi ness leaders, Bush termed the alternative measures proposed by Democratic legislators “poor im itations” of Reagan’s plan. “These substitute programs to reduce spending and taxes may sound like the real thing but the truth is they are only imitations and poor ones at that,” Bush said. . In a strong attack on what he termed attempts by Democrats to “water down” Reagan’s budget proposals. Bush warned that such attempts would only slow the country’s economic recovery. Bush told a large gathering at Southern Methodist University: “One of the messages I bring here today is that we can’t afford to accept these substitutes that would water down or otherwise weaken the cure needed for our country’s economic recovery. Bush Talking to reporters, noted the administration never expected “a smooth sailing” of its budget proposals in Congress but reiterated that despite strong opposition, the administration was in “no mood to compromise.” “President Reagan’s program must not be diluted if it’s to bring about the economic recovery the American people need and want, and indeed, that they mandated last November.” In answer to a question after his speech. Bush said developing re lations with Mexico was one of the administration’s “most important” foreign policy goals. Bush had been asked about U.S. military in volvement in El Salvador and said the main thrust of U.S. policy in that Central American country was “to check the unimpeded flow of weapons from Socialist coun tries.” port” the ruling military junta in El Salvador was receiving from the U.S. was aimed at helping El Salvador withstand pressure from Cuban President Fidel Castro and Nicaraguan Sandinista elements from whom he said the guerilla forces were receiving arms. However, Bush said, any Amer ican help to El Salvador would take into account the sentiments of Mexico which the U.S. viewed as “one of the most important and foremost (of countries) in our fore ign policy objectives.” He said whatever “modest sup- Bush said Mexican President Jose Lopez Portillo and President Reagan “get along very well and are good friends” and that the U.S. would only attempt to “trans cend and not separate" Me\t J r '’ ' n a two-para feelings when considering ?* en | Monday, s kind of help to the junta in EISif r , ® collision vador. |oid lengthy co On the issue of Mexican alk P 6 ™^ t ^ ie P ron Bush said he supported Tendons on a setl Gov.

Smith met Mark Briskman, di rector of the North Texas- Oklahoma Anti-Defamation Lea gue of B’nai Brith, at Briskman’s home just north of Dallas for the Passover ceremony. After the ceremony, both religious leaders announced plans for inter-faith religious activities designed to bring their faiths to a better understanding. “We talked with the Catholics for 2,000 years — we can talk with the Baptists for 2,000 years,” Briskman said. Concerning the diversity of the two friths, Briskman quoted Smith as saying early in their meeting, “I would die for your right to live as a Jew in America. ” After the ceremony. Smith said, speaking of himself: “Bailey Smith does indeed want to do everything to promote the Jewish people and the sincerity of their faith.” Controversy has surrounded Banquet Ring Dance w/ Ed Gerlach & Doppelgangef \ ... _ * kSC & Rudder Exhibit Hall May 2, 9-1 s iS|f\ $ 30/couple Ring Dane Bash 20/couple 'IS/couple $ 5/couple Tickets floor Rudder Tower 845-2916 SIGMA PHI EPSILON presents the Fifth Annual Smith since he made statements last year aUa conservative politic al-religious rally in Dallas. He re turned to Dallas to offer his new statements. Last year. Smith said: “It is in teresting at great political rallies, how you have a Protestant to pray, a Catholic to pray, and then you have a Jew to pray. With all due respect to those dear people, my friends, God almighty does not hear the prayer of a Jew.” Later, Smith said, “I think they (Jews) got funny looking noses.” Briskman said after the meeting that, “Bailey understands the ini- tial hurt created by his statement and has been open and forthright in making it clear he is sorry for that hurt. He is almost single handedly moving the Southern Baptist Convention to work in greater cooperation with the Anti- Defamation League and the Jew ish faith,” Briskman said. Smith announced that the Southern Baptist Convention and the Anti-Defamation League would work in conjunction on Sunday School lesson plans, semi nars at seminaries of both faiths and other interfaith cooperative activities. It was also announced that plans were being discussed for United Press NEW YORK- Abbie Hoffman Smith to lead a joint Bapi Jewish tour of Israel, possibly: early as this fall.
