The council will consider the awarding of contracts for traffic sig nal construction and an ordinance ordering an election on April 6 for councilmen for places 1, 3 and 5. The mayor will sign two proclama tions declaring the week of Feb. 18 to 24 as “National Patriotism Week” and the month of February as “Black History Month.” The council is temporarily hold ing its meetings in the College Sta tion Community Center on Jersey Street due to construction at College Station City Hall. Parole Proposed legislation to keep inmates behind bars longer Associated Press AUSTIN — Two legislators, one of whom is a former prosecutor, said Wednesday they would introduce legislation to make streets safer by keeping criminals behind bars, longer. Morales said Brown also would join him in trying to repeal a 1983 law — the Texas Prison Manage ment Act — that provides for the au tomatic release of prisoners when the prison population reaches 95 percent of capacity. The plan to restrict parole would increase the prison population by 12,000 and require $300 million worth of new prisons, said Sen. J.E. “Buster” Brown, R-Lake Jackson. Rep. Dan Morales, former assis tant Bexar County district attorney, said, “the early, indiscriminate, wholesale, automatic release of con victed felons lies at the very heart of the erosion of our public’s faith and confidence in the criminal justice system.” Brown said in the 1980 fiscal year, 9,599 inmates were paroled from state prison. That number rose in 1984 to 21,595, He also said the average time served for a prisoner who received a 5-year sentence is 13 months, while those prisoners assessed 10-14 year sentences served an average of 2 years 9 months. t Morales, D-San Antonio, and Brown outlined at a news confer ence their plan to restrict parole. The Morales-Brown plan would require all prisoners to serve at least one-third of their sentences before being eligible for release on parole. Currently, Morales said, convicted felons are eligible for parole after serving less than 10 percent of their sentences. All convicted felons are serving on the average 21 percent of their sen tences — “that ought not to be,” said Morales. Brown acknowledged their bills, if enacted into law, would increase the state prison population by 12,000. “It makes no sense to strive to place greater numbers of criminals in prison when the back doors of the prisons remain wide open,” Morales said. Persons convicted of violent crimes such as rape or kidnapping would have to serve at least two- thirds of their sentences, and per sons convicted of a capital offense could not be paroled. He said this would cost the state $300 million in prison construction and maintenance over the next two or three years, but that additional cost could be covered by putting a cap on state employment, which would save $400 million. Brown al ready has filed a bill to limit the number of state emplovees. “I’m committed to trying to avoid a tax increase,” Brown said, but he added, “I can’t ask one citizen of this state to suffer an occasional rape or murder in order to help the Legis lature comfortably get through a budget.” DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSE February 19th & 20th Ramada Inn Pre-register by Phone: 693-8178 FEE $20 Ticket Deferral and 10% Insurance Discount Class of Free Rent on our private party room Rent our party room absolutly free When you have a party for 30 people or more and have a Student I.D. 8 ft. screen T.
