Ninth fatal
stabbing
atTDC
United Press International
HUNTSVILLE — The Texas De
partment of Corrections Wednesday
recorded its ninth fatal stabbing of
the year, giving impetus to a reform
group’s contention that a “blood
bath’’ is approaching in Texas pris
ons.
Spokesman Phil Guthrie said the
inmate, Richard J. Hord, 29, was
stabbed several times, including
once in the heart, about 2 a.m. at the
Ramsey I Unit near Rosharon.”
A special search team Wednesday
was combing the Darrington Unit
near Rosharon for weapons. It was
the second search for the group,
which found 524 homemade Knives
and clubs in the Ferguson Unit over
the weekend. A similar search by
guards of the Coffield Unit near Pal
estine last month yielded 489 weap
ons.
The increasing reports of attacks
in prisons this summer has gener
ated alarm in a group called the Pris
oners Defense Committee, made up
mostly of ex-convicts who say they
regularly correspond with TDC in
mates.
The group recommended a citizen
watchdog group be given authority
to examine every aspect of prison
operations.
Guthrie said TDC administrators
do not believe an uprising is proba
ble.
Guthrie said, in response to the
group’s recommendation for a
watchdog group, said TDC already
is monitored by the Texas Board of
Corrections, composed of citizens
appointed by the governor, and a
special master, appointed by a fed-
eraljudge.
“Given that, we feel there is ample
outside monitoring. Beyond that, we
would resist the establishment of
some additional group,” Guthrie
said.
Last week, Gov. Mark White said
he would replace some top prison
officials if the violence in the prisons
is not brought under control.
TDC Director Ray Procunier, on
the job since June 1, said there will
always be incidences of violence in
E risons. “These men are criminals,”
esaid.
But he has also expressed alarm at
the great numbers of weapons being
found in the prisons and said addi
tional staffing will be necessary to
control the flow of weapons.
Currently, 5,300 guards oversee
36,000 prisoners in 26 units
statewide. Guthrie said the TDC
must have 6,100 guards in place by
Jan. 1 to comply with a court order.
Procunier said before a federal
court order ruled the method un
constitutional, prison officials used
inmate trustees, or “tenders,” to help
guard prisoners.
The method was effective, “be
cause peer pressure works best,” he
said. “We can’t do that now, though,
and those men have to be replaced
with guards.”

CAIRO, Egypt — Authorities
searched ships in transit to the Red
Sea Wednesday in an intensifying
dragnet for mines only a day before
thousands of Mecca-bound Moslem
pilgrims were due to sail through
waters where 14 ships have/ hit
mines.
Four U.S. minesweeping helicopt
ers arrived in Rota, Spain on the first
leg of a journey to join Egyptian
ships and aircraft searching for
mines that have disrupted shipping
in the Gulf of Suez as did a Libyan
ship since the first of 14 ships hit a
mine July 27.
“The foreign affairs ministry of the
Islamic Republic strongly con
demned a new conspiracy by the
U.S. and the Zionist regime in the
Suez Canal and the Red Sea to dam
age the reputation of the Islamic
Revolution and Republic,” the offi
cial Iranian news agency IRNA said.
The Iranian foreign ministry
called for an international confer
ence to “expose the agents behind
those moves.”
Iran Tuesday praised the minings
as part of the “bitter struggle”
against the West but denied any in
volvement with the Islamic Jihad —
the same terrorist group that
claimed responsibility for the twin
suicide bombings that killed 241
U.S. servicemen and 58 French par
atroopers in Beirut last year.
Fourteen ships have hit mines in
the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea
since July 27, prompting Egypt to
sweep its territorial waters for more
explosive devices and request assis
tance from the United States and
Britain.
The four Sikorsky RH-53D Sea
Stallion helicopters dispatched to
Rota were to be boarded onto to the
USS Shreveport, which was ex
pected to depart for the Gulf of Suez
Friday at the earliest.
