TDC settlement affects
other justice agencies
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Texas’ other criminal
justice agencies will be impacted
fpeatly by the prison system’s set
tlement of the federal court suit,
which calls for a reduction in the
prison population.
B Toni Hunter of the attorney gen-
Iral’s staff told the Criminal Justice
iCouncil, “Now that the line baa been
drawn in the dirt for the Texas De-
Btartment of Corrections, this will
put a very great responsibility on all
the rest of you to seek alternatives to
incarceration.”
Hunter said U.S. District Judge
William Wayne Justice would rule
on the proposed settlement July 15.
Hunter helped draw up the set
tlement between the state and attor
neys for prisoners who brought the
original suit alleging mistreatment
and overcrowding.
She said the settlement addresses
the capacity of units that now exist in
the TDC. The April 1985 prison
population of 37,857 is to be re
duced to about 34,000 in the existing
buildings, with half of the reduction
by Sept. 1, 1987.
ing held in lieu of $200,000 bond
Wednesday,
Guadalupe Guerrero, 18, was
charged with murder in the slaying
of Federicq Campos. Campos was
stabbed to death at a residence late
Monday. Bond of $15,000 was set
for Guerrero, Buskes said.
Also slain was Larry Walker, 36,
gunned down while he was working
as a bartender at a local nightspot,
but no suspects had been arrested in
that slaying.
So far this year, 83 people have
been slain in San Antonio, compared
to 75 at the same time last year.
White tells
U.S. Senate
ERA is pliant
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Texas Gov.
Mark White told a Senate panel on
Wednesday that the Environmental
Protection Agency is a “pliant part
ner” of companies pushing for ap
proval of ocean burning of chemi
cals because the government limits
liability from ocean spills.
“If it’s as safe as they say it is, why
would you have to go out 160 miles
in the Gulf of Mexico to do it?”
White asked the Senate Environ
ment and Public Works Subcommit
tee on Environmental Pollution.
“When I listen to the people who are
the proponents of this over at EPA,
they are acting with the same degree
of confidence as the builders of the
Titanic.”
Texas has filed a lawsuit to halt
the issuance of permits for incinera
tor ships in the Gulf of Mexico. The
EPA has issued draft regulations for
the permits, which could be issued
within a year.
Waste Management Inc., based in
Oak Brook, Ill., has already con
ducted test burns in the Gulf. Wil
liam Y. Brown, director of marine
affairs at Waste Management, said,
“Failure to use existing ocean-based
incineration capacity now can only
work to augment the huge and rap
idly growing reservoir of toxic chem
icals on land.”
