Woods knew something was wrong when a jailer loaded him on a bus, took him on the 10-mile trip to Huntsville and handed him his re lease papers, freeing him from a life sentence. “You’re just as free as I am,” the jailer said as Woods walked away. Woods and his father Willie Woods, 48, are under investigation by prison officials and the Walker County distict attorney’s office con cerning the forged court papers. “My father told me how I got out,” Woods said. “It isn’t anything I had a part in.” But David Weeks, special prison prosecutor, isn’t so sure. He has not ruled out the possibility of criminal charges against Woods and plans to refer the case to a grand jury next month. Woods could be indicted on charges of tampering with govern ment records, Weeks said. However, a prison internal affairs investigation is complete and indi cates “no evidence that anyone other than Willie Woods was involved in this,” said David Nunnelee, a spokes man for the Texas Department of Corrections. The younger Woods now waits in a Dallas County jail. He said he real ized his freedom was only tempo rary, but tried to use the time to erase a past of juvenile detention centers and numerous charges for armed robbery and aggravated as sault. “I just tried to make the best of the time I had,” he said. “For the first time in my life I had something going for me. If I got some new shoes or some new furniture or bought something for my kids I could say I earned it. I didn’t scheme it.” As for his father, who has been re turned to prison. Woods said he probably felt it was an opportunity to do something for the son he never really knew. By Curtis L.

Mattox says state can avo daily fines on prison syster AUSTIN (AP) — The 5th U.S. order says will kick in on April 1,” Mattox said the sta >t< n AUSTIN (AP) — The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to hurry and hear the state’s prison case, and Attorney General Jim Mat tox voiced optimism Wednesday that Texas can head off a threat of $800,000 in daily fines. “We’ve very hopeful we will be able to avoid the penalties in this case,” Mattox said, adding that a three-judge panel of the New Or leans court will hear the state’s ap peal on March 17. That early hearing should enable Texas to obtain either a ruling from the appeals court or a stay of the fines that U.S. District Judge Wil liam Wayne Justice ordered to begin April 1, Mattox said. “Hopefully this will give us some breathing room on the possible $24 million a month that Judge Justice’s order says will kick in on April 1,’ Mattox said. The Tyler judge found Texas in contempt Dec. 31 for failing to live up to terms of an agreement that set tled the decade-long inmate lawsuit against the prison system. Justice said that if the state fails to make numerous improvements — such as building more cells and hir ing more guards and medical per sonnel — tlie daily lines would begin April 1. Mattox said he is convinced Jus tice went too far, adding that he ex pects the appeals court to side with the state on some issues. “We think he stepped beyond the bounds of reason in some portions of his order,” Mattox said. “Just be cause the judge says it doesn’t make it necessarily reasonable. He is falli ble, just like everyone else is.” Mattox said the state can; make many of the court-ordti provements. But he said Justice basis unreasonable time limits o state, since the budget is wi two-year cycles and theeconc cession has drained itstreasur onnii tntiu tarvi Cm turdt !g cl I ial, 1 4e h< luse lenta The In another prison-related opment, Texas Departmenti reel ions of ficials at Hunisvil the prison system’s popuh mains below a 95 percentoftj limit that would halt admis! new convicts. ‘MZZ&S 303 W.
