Commissary sales
at county jail up
income for sheriff
FORT WORTH (AP) — A jail
commissary that netted Tarrant
County Sheriff Don Carpenter seve
ral thousand dollars last year is un
der increasing attack from officials
unhappy with the idea of Carpenter
benefiting personally.
Since buying the commissary
from outgoing Sheriff Lon Evans
for $10,000 on Jan. 1, 1985, Car
penter has spent most of the profits
to improve his department and
throw Christmas barbecues for em
ployees.
The commissary should turn a
$76,000 profit in 1987, Carpenter
told the Dallas Times Herald in a re
cent interview. Carpenter said he
plans to spend most of the money to
upgrade the department and pro
vide extra benefits to employees and
to keep about $9,000 for himself.
Over the past 24 years, the Texas
attorney general’s office has issued
four opinions that stipulated that jail
commissaries be subject to periodic
audits and that any earnings be di
rected solely “for the benefit, educa
tion and welfare of jail inmates.”
He has chosen to ignore those
opinions, Carpenter acknowledged.
“Know what an opinion is? Just
that, an opinion,” Carpenter said.
Carpenter contends that the attor
ney general opinions have been
wrong, that the commissary does not
have to be publicly audited and that
the profits do not have to be used to
benefit the inmates.
Tarrant County Commissioner
Bob Hampton has vowed to fight to
have the commissary placed under
public control and to have the opera
tion audited regularly.
“My concern is not with Don Car
penter,” Hampton said. “It’s with
the principle of the matter.” He esti
mated the commissary in the Tar
rant County Jail grosses $1 million a
year.
“Those are public funds,” he said.
“They do not belong to any one per
son or the sheriff.”
Carpenter’s commissary — which
sells toiletries, cigarettes, snacks, sta
tionery and stamps — is the only one
among the state’s six largest urban
counties to be privately held and op
erated, the Times Herald reported.
All but Carpenter’s devote the
bulk of the profits from their jail
commissaries to the purchase of tele
vision sets, recreation equipment,
emergency aid and other benefits
for inmates, the newspaper added.
Carpenter estimates that about
$2,000 a year in commissary profits
are spent for inmates. He says they
don’t deserve any extra benefits. He
said he will fight any attempt to shift
the commissary into public control.
“I could by law stick (the profits)
all in my hip pocket, but I don’t,”
Carpenter told the newspaper.
Over the past two years, Car
penter says, profits from the com
missary have gone to refurbish run
down portions of the sheriffs office,
to build a property room for holding
evidence, to buy equipment such as
radios, to throw a Christmas barbe
cue for his staff and to provide ex
tra benefits for employees.
Leftover funds, he said, have been
reported on his personal income tax
filing.

Policeman endorses
mandatory helmet law
for motorcycle riders
ODESSA (AP) — All motorcyclists
should be required to wear a helmet
because motorcycles are much more
likely to be involved in accidents
than automobiles, a West Texas po
liceman said.
Motorcycle riders are vulnerable
to a variety of potentially fatal road
hazards, like oil slicks and aban
doned car parts, that normally pose
few problems for a four-wheeled ve
hicle, said Jim Wingrove, a corporal
in the Odessa Police Department.
Wingrove said he should know. In
18 years of patrolling Odessa streets
on a motorcycle, he suffered two
life-threatening accidents.
“If I had not had a helmet, in both
cases, I’d be dead,” he said.
As it is, he can walk now only with
the help of a cane.
“If you ride far enough . . . and
long enough, you’re going to go
down in an accident,” he said.
All riders eventually “taste the as
phalt,” he added.
When a rider does crash, “your
chances of survival are a great deal
stronger with a helmet,” Wingrove
said.
“They’ve proven helmets will save
lives,” he said. “I have no doubt we’ll
save lives if the law is passed.”
Texas Sen. Ted Lyon, D-Rock-
wall, is the sponsor of a bill that
would once again require Texas mo
torcycle riders to wear helmets.
Texas once had a law requiring
helmets, but it was repealed in 1977.
The 1977 legislation was spon
sored by former State Rep. John
Hoestenbach of Odessa, who says he
pushed the repeal because of over
whelming requests from motorcycle
riders. “They felt like it was their
choice,” he said.
The law presently requires all mo
torcycle riders younger than 18 to
wear a helmet, and gives the choice
to those older than 18.
A recent study by the Texas De
partment of Health showed that an
unhelmeted rider is two to three
times as likely to suffer a head injury
as someone wearing a helmet, Lyon
said.
10-year Dallas battle ends
in awards to deputy sheriffs
DALLAS (AP) — A civil rights
suit finally ended after 10 years of
haggling but the battle ended up
costing Dallas County taxpayers pos
sibly more than four times what it
would have taken to settle the com
plaint a decade ago.
County officials have issued
checks totaling $106,707 in back-pay
awards — one posthumously — to
13 current and former sheriffs dep
uties who filed the federal civil suit
alleging that they were either fired
or demoted by former Sheriff Carl
Thomas because of their political af
filiations.
Unofficial estimates by plaintiff
and defense attorneys set the coun
ty’s total cost of the legal battle, in
cluding the final award, between
$350,000 and $470,000.
Legal costs mounted steadily from
1977 until March 30 of this year,
when county commissioners ordered
that the legal ordeal end and the
deputies be paid.
The suit, which asked for just less
than $100,000 in pay plus interest
for the deputies, accused Thomas of
committing civil rights violations
against deputies. The plaintiffs
sought damages from the county.
County spokesmen and key plain
tiff Benny Barrett received a back
pay award of only $301.07.
But Barrett actually is walking
away from the suit with $11,000 in
his pocket, thanks to his fellow plain
tiffs, who Thursday signed over 10
percent of their checks as a show of
appreciation for Barrett’s leadership
in the suit.
