Inmates protest harrassment from guards HUNTSVILLE (AP) — Prisoners at the nation’s only factory manned exclusively by death row inmates say they are staging a work slowdown to protest what they consider ha rassment by prison guards. Inmates say they’re particularly upset that guards allegedly are in specting their cells up to three times a day looking for items prisoners are not allowed to have. “Sometimes they’ll walk in and just look around,” inmate Jim Van derbilt said Wednesday. “Sometimes they’ll make your house look like a tornado’s been through it. If you get a guard coming in and he doesn’t like you, he’ll do something to your house. It seems like nothing but ha rassment.” Lester Bower, another death row convict, said the morning shift pro duction at the garment factory at the Texas Department of Corrections Ellis I Unit, which includes death row, has fallen by 80 percent in the past week. The factory, adjacent to death row wings, makes items like clothing, sheets and aprons for the prison sys tem.

Unlike the prison itself, the garment factory is air conditioned, providing an in centive for prisoners to get out of the oppressive Texas heat. Corrections department spokes man Charles Brown said he knew nothing about the work slowdown. “We’ve received no reports about it from the unit,” he said. “Some of the units are real good about report ing things and from others you get nothing.” Bower said he knew of no reason for the repeated shakedowns and that none of the inmates had been reprimanded for contraband. “There’s a point at which after shakedown after shakdown, even tually you’ve shook everything there is to shake," he said. “And from then on, you’ve accomplishing nothing and create problems. “Our unity and our productivity are the only weapons we have.” Bower said while his shift at the plant normally produces 500 pairs of shorts, it now turns out 100. Vanderbilt said, “We’re kind of hoping people in the garment indus try will look at r are way off.” Bower said, “The two death row wings run as good as or better than any wing on this unit. Our produc tivity is second to none. We outpro duce any industry inside TDC and no one questions it. You would think with everything going their way, they woula just leave you alone. “On the surface, it I was to tell this to a civilian he would say, ‘That’s not bad.’ But they don’t understand what’s going on.

Texas energy firms stand as pc of gaining oil companies in U.i DALLAS (AP) — Three Texas companies are among only a few U.S. energy firms reporting higher petro leum reserves in a report that shows 1986 had the worst oil and gas replacement rates in four years. The report by Salomon Brothers Inc., a New York securities firm, said 30 of the nation’s largest energy companies replaced only 41 percent of their oil reserves and 48 percent of their gas reserves last year. The firms surveyed in the Salomon Brothers report released Tuesday provide about two-thirds of U.S. oil reserves. Maxus Energy Corp. of Dallas and Mesa Limited Partnership of Amarillo replaced crude oil production in 1986. Maxus, the former exploration and production arm of Diamond Shamrock Corp., reported an 11 per cent increase in its U.S. liquid petroleum reserves. Enserch Corp. of Dallas posted a Mpercer: in natural gas reserves last year, the reportsaif U.S. crude oil reserves declined 5.4 pera Texas crude reserves fell by 8 percent last year Department of Energy previously reported. “Last year’s drop in reserves was a response difficult year,” said Robert Finley, acting dept tor of the Bureau of Economic Geology at the sity of Texas at Austin. “It may work out dial the industry will not add reserves, but if then) cline, it won’t be as devastating as in 1986." Replacement of reserves had been improt the 1986 price collapse as the industry increasir; enhanced oil recovery methods designed It more oil from existing reserves, the reportsaii FOOTBALL i southern mississippi «AT JACKSON SEPT. *5-26 [TEXAS TECH BAT LUBBOCK OCT. *-3 | Tfc ret inc/u ties ‘ TRAVEL TO AND FROM GAME • ADMISSION TO GAME OVERNIGHT HOTEL foaMtnp $75 sept. 22 come by rm. 216 in the raise for more information call MSC Travel at 845-1515 . >jgaiM<aMM«a6asaeaut3e36J8a6ae3eata8afta8a£atataMM8ataRa8ag3MtaM6a&»aM638aeaft; Cc It T est T j and vibn CD • T play five sing • T sent A FULI
