Rapist blames system
for his criminal acts
AUSTIN (AP) — A man who has
sexually assaulted eight women in 19
years says he had an overwhelming
compulsion that he believes could
have been controlled with psychiat
ric treatment.
But George Friga says he couldn’t
get help either in or out of prison.
Friga, who was released in May
from his third term in the Texas
prison system, is in the Travis
County Jail waiting to be tried for
two additional sex crimes.
He said Texas’ criminal justice
system, which he says stresses pun
ishment and ignores correction,
should bear some of the responsibil
ity for crimes he has committed after
being released from prison.
“I’m aware of what’s happening,”
Friga told the Austin American-
Statesman. “I fight it a lot of times,
but I’m just not able to control it. It’s
not like it’s continuous. Sometimes I
have been able to fight the urge and
keep from doing it.
“If my mind is occupied with
other things, then that helps. Other
times, when I have free time and I

about taking in new inmates
HUNTSVILLE (AP) — State offi
cials will wait until final population
figures become available today be
fore deciding whether counties can
send newly sentenced convicts to the
crowded Texas prison system.
The system, the nation’s second
largest next to California, narrowly
avoided an admissions shutdown
Friday when population figures
showed the number of inmates at
94.93 percent of capacity, just 27 in
mates short of the 95 percent mark
that would trigger closing.
The latest count at midnight
Thursday showed 38,343 inmates,
prison spokesman Charles Brown
said.
But the department received
some leeway this weekend, since no
new inmates are accepted on Satur
days and Sundays.
Brown could not be reached Sun
day to determine if inmates had

nave nothing else to do, I’d have to
fight it all day long, and it’s much
more difficult to control.”
Friga says the Texas Department
of Corrections should be forced to
establish a counseling program for
sex offenders in prison.
Charles Brown, a L’DC spokes
man, said that while he could not
talk about Friga’s case, there are no
counseling programs for the 3,000
sex offenders in Texas prisons.
David Nunnelee, another TDC
spokesman, said there are plans to
ask the Legislature for money to set
up such a program.
An Austin woman Friga raped in
1983 agrees that the way Texas deals
with sex offenders does not work.
She has vowed to join him in efforts
to convince the TDC of the impor
tance of such programs.
“He was in prison for less than
three years for raping me, and he
gets out and does it again,” she says.
“Maybe now is the time to do some
thing in TDC before he gets out and
does it again. Something’s got to
change.”
been paroled this weekend to head
off a possible prison shutdown.
The 26-unit system closed its
doors to new inmates Jan. 16 after
the population exceeded the cap set
by the Legislature in 1983. The Leg
islature had acted after a federal
judge ordered the state to take steps
to reduce crowding.
U.S. District Judge William
Wayne Justice, who ordered sweep
ing reforms in Texas prisons in
1981, already has issued a contempt
order against the corrections depart
ment, saying the agency failed to live
up to agreements made in 1980 to
improve inmates’ living conditions
and staffing in the prisons.
The judge gave the prison system
until March 31 to meet the standards
or risk fines of up to $800,500 a day.
The prison board said it would ap
peal the contempt order.
