TDC slow to punish guards
accused of abuse, report sa
Guards
HUNTSVILLE (AP)
within the Texas Department of Correc
tions accused of inmate abuse cases are
being disciplined as long as two years af
ter the alleged incidents, a report filed
with the federal court says.
The explanations are contained in
court documents filed last month in re
sponse to allegations by federal prison
monitors last January that prison officials
had failed to deal swiftly or harshly
enough with guards who abuse prison
ers, the Houston Chronicle reported
Monday.
The monitors, who oversee the pris
on’s compliance with court-ordered re
forms under the landmark Ruiz lawsuit,
documented three cases of inmate abuse
at the Wynne Unit in Huntsville that they
said were three of the more blatant exam
ples of how employee discipline for use
of force violations is not always prompt,
effective and adequate.
In one case, guard Michael Eubanks
urinated in inmate’s Shannon Davis’
food. It took the department more than
15 months to decide to fire Eubanks, but
he resigned before he was fired. The in
cident occurred Jan. 22, 1986, but Eu
banks was not notified of his pending
dismissal until July 13, 1987.
The delay was attributed to a backlog
of cases that needed polygraph tests
given to witnesses, a shortage of investi
gators and a five-month delay while
prison attorneys determined whether uri
nating in an inmate’s food tray should be
considered as a use of force issue or
some other form of misconduct.
The monitor’s report, however, said
the guard first slammed the inmate’s
head into a metal windowsill because he
refused to turn and face a wall. The
guard later urinated in the food tray.
U.S. District Judge William Wayne
Justice of Tyler ordered prison officials
in September to explain why it had taken
so long to discipline employees and to
document what steps had been taken to
ensure that such delays do not occur.
Kirk Brown, the prison system’s gen
eral counsel, said he believes changes
the department made in employee disci
plinary cases have corrected problems
that the monitors identified. Those
changes include eliminating some of the
time-consuming regional review com
mittees and requirements that deputy di
rectors approve disciplinary actions.
Most of the responsibility for disciplin
ing employees rests with unit wardens.
Brown said.
In other incidents documented by
monitors, inmate Lazano Beltran, was
pinned to his bunk Oct. 2, 1985, while
Lt. Robert Adams held a pillow over his
face and struck him with his fists and riot
baton. Adams was fired seven months
later for an unrelated inmate abuse inci
dent.
Beltran, 35, was released on manda
tory supervision Jan. 12. Heir
serving a five-year sentence forIm
in Kauffman County.
A third abuse incident occurrti|
20, 1986, when inmate James R;:
son was slammed to the floorafei
handcuffed inmate turned aroc
quickly during a cell search.
The guard accused in that ins
Darryl Richardson, (no relationtoa
mate) received a three-month <fc
nary probation, but the action w
taken until 19 months later.
Report: Texas’s economy
could withstand hard time
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas economy
is more diversified and better able to
withstand blows to any one industry,
according to the November edition of
Fiscal Notes released Monday by the
state comptroller.
The state’s regions shared good eco
nomic news in fiscal year 1988, although
they didn’t benefit equally, an article in
publication, which is put out by Comp
troller Bob Bullock’s office, said.
Each region has found a base of indus
tries to give economic strength, the re
port said, adding, “Problems in one in
dustry — such as oil and gas — no
longer sink the entire economy of a re
gion.’’
The Texas region along the Mexican
border continued strong growth, spurred
by twin-plant expansion in Mexico, the
article said.
Twin plants involve factories in Mex
ico that assemble parts made in Texas, it
said.
The McAllen area gained 3,600 new
non-farm jobs by August 1988, a 4.1
percent increase from the previous Au
gust.
During the same period, Laredo’s
work force grew by 2,100 jobs, or 5.9
percent, the article said.
Gulf Coast manufacturing — espe
cially petrochemicals — grew mostly be
cause of increased exports that benefited
from the falling dollar, according to the
comptroller’s office.
Petrochemical industry growth stimu
lated plant expansions, which generated
construction and engineering activity.
From August 1987 to August 1988,
Houston non-farm employment rose by
2.6 percent, or 36,300 jobs.
All other major Gulf Coast cities also
had job gains, including 2,300 in Corpus
Christi and 1,700 in Brazoria.
