Board approves budget
for two prisons, five camps
HUNTSVILLE (AP) — The
Texas Board of Corrections, facing
continuing problems of too many in
mates and too few beds, approved
Monday a $1.37 billion budget re
quest for two new maximum security
prisons and five new trusty camps.
The board also voted to end the
annual Texas Prison Rodeo, a 55-
year tradition, if some private orga
nization is not found within the next
90 days to take over financing of the
event.
The budget request to the Legis
lature totals $790.4 million in 1988
and $582.6 million in 1989, but
Chairman Alfred Hughes said the
system — spending $486.6 million
this year — by then would be in
worse condition than it is now.
“We’re not even budgeting any
dollars for any new salaries for pris
ons until 1989,” he said. “We’re
looking at a long-term problem.
There’s a lot of talk in the Legis
lature now, but we don’t have one
single cent now budgeted to build
any new facilities that adds one per
son to our population.”
In its request, the board is asking
for $134 million for two more maxi
mum security prisons and $6.8 mil
lion for five trusty camps. The two
prisons would add 4,500 beds, while
the camps would add 1,000 beds.
However, according to the budget
request approved by the board, the
department still would be more than
10,000 beds short of projections of
anticipated growth by 1990.
“No question about that,” Hughes
said. “We’re not saying we’re going
to get there. We don’t think it’s ap
propriate for us to ask (from the
Legislature) for what we’re pretty
confident we can’t get.”
Asked to assess the prison system
by then, he said, “I think we’ll proba
bly be in worse condition.”
The request also seeks about $8
million each year for payments to re
leased inmates and projects the re
lease of 40,292 inmates each year.
“We went with a budget we felt we
needed to have,” Hughes said. “If
the Legislature gives it to us, we’ll
have the dollars. If they don’t give us
the money, then the federal courts
will come in and take over and run
our prisons and charge the state for
it.”
Texas already is operating its pris
ons under a court order which,
among other things, resulted in lim
iting the inmate population to 95
percent of capacity to ease crowding.
The prisons were reopening to
day, repeating the recent routine, af
ter the release of hundreds of in
mates over the weekend who were
granted extra “good time.”
Hughes said he saw no end to the
repeated opening and closing of the
system.
“I don’t foresee it,” he said. “We
won’t see it until the Legislature
funds us money to build new pris
ons.”
The state has until April 1 to show
U.S. District Judge William Wayne
Justice that it should not be fined
nearly $1 million a day for failing to
comply with reforms he has or
dered. State attorneys next week will
be appealing the contempt fines to
the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap
peals in New Orleans.
“We’ve done everything we can,”
he said. “We’ve shown to the courts
we’ve made giant steps toward com
pliance.”
Meanwhile, the rodeo demise was
an easy decision because the depart
ment has so many more pressing is
sues, Hughes said.
