^age 6/The Battalion/Wednesday, July 13, 1983 Smoking rule huffs inmates United Press International EL PASO — Withdrawing smokers in a new $31-million detention facility broke two dou ble-strength windows to protest a no smoking rule, but their first day of cold turkey was otherwise uneventful, a Sheriffs Depart ment spokesman said. A total of 619 prisoners were moved into the new jail over the weekend, following a riot Friday night that injured four deputies, 12 prisoners and five firemen who were called to douse mat tresses burned in protest. Chief Sheriff Deputy Clay Collier said prisoners were back to normal Monday. He told members of the County Com missioners Court the no smok ing rule would remain in force and blamed the availability of cigarettes and matches at the old jail for the fire. Collier repeated the earlier statement of Sheriff Mike Davis that 10 inmate “troublemakers” will be prosecuted for their role in the last riot in the old jail. Collier said the sheriff and other deputies made the rounds of the cells Monday, trying to complaints. Most of the complaints were about the no-smoking rule. Others complained of having to wait too long for justice. “Many of the prisoners com- E lained of having to wait too >ng before their case comes up in court,” Collier said. “We’ve got a lot of people in jail who have only been charged with a crime, not convicted. If that were you and you’d been there for months on end, you might have a complaint too.” The federal courts mar; El Paso County to correa situation in 1980, contendt carceration in the old,cm jail constituted cruel andt punishment.

Both were charged with felony theft by appropriation af ter police searched the trunk of their car and found apparel from stores in two shoppingeen- ters. Two other suspects, includ ing one who police believe acted as a fence for the stolen goods,. were being sought. Police alleged the two sus pects were part of a well- organized professional shoplift ing ring that had been operating at several Austin shopping malls. “There are a lot of people who will take one shirt or a pair of pants,” said Sgt. Rick Coy. “These people were cleaning out large portions of entire racks.” Airline bondholders object to proposal United Press International FORT WORTH — Braniff International Corp.’s secured bondholders filed an objection to the bankrupt airline’s reorga nization plan, complaining that court documents failed to ade quately describe the proposal to resume service. The committee — represent ing bondholders who hold $100 million of Braniffs $467.5 mil lion in secured debt — also said more information was needed about the Hyatt Corp. of Chica go, which is trying to put Braniff in the skies again.
