Be Warned — We are Wild!
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.

the best-behaved of the some 250
death row residents in Texas. 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. People wouldn’t ap
preciate a whole group of men walk
ing into their home three times a
day.”

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
