Page 6 The Battalion Thursday, March 21,1991 Justice defers jail inmate bill HOUSTON (AP) — Supreme Court Justice An tonin Scalia on Wednesday stayed a federal judge's ruling that would have allowed Harris County to bill the state of Texas when it had to house excess jail inmates in other Texas lockups. Last month. Chief U.S. District Judge James DeAnda ordered the state of Texas to come up With $750,000 by Wednesday that could be used oy Harris County to rent jail beds in other coun ties. But Scalia temporarily set aside the order re quiring the state to set up the fund. The stay will remain in effect at least until March 27 to give Sca lia time to review the case. In the Feb. 7 ruling, DeAnda ordered the county to reduce its jail population to 6,300 or move excess prisoners to other lockups and send the state the bill. Harris County Sheriff Johnny Klevenhagen has argued the county could stay well under the court-mandated population limit if the state would just take all or the prisoners that have been sentenced to prison. But the state is under its own court order to limit its prison population. To comply with that order, corrections officials have set up a quota system in which only a certain number of prison ers are accepted each week from county jails in Texas. On any given day, about 2,000 inmates in the Harris County jail are supposed to be in Texas prisons. The court-ordered cap calls for a limit of 4,725 county prisoners and 1,575 state prisoners. Klevenhagen said there were 2,775 state prison ers — 1,200 above DeAnda's limit — in the jail Wednesday. In contrast, the county was more than 100 inmates underneath its cap with 4,577 in mates in the jail. "It's just another one of their stalling tech niques," Klevenhagen said in response to the re prieve the state won Wednesday. "They realize that every day they put it off, they've saved $48,000, because that's what it would cost to house 1,200 inmates that are in excess of what the federal judge ruled. "They're (the state) unwilling to handle their •own problem," he said. "And it means that we're overcrowded," Kle venhagen said. The sheriff had lined up 1,800 beds in other county jails, and he said Harris County was ready to begin moving prisoners to those facilities in a week. But the Texas Attorney General's Office, which had appealed DeAnda's ruling to the Supreme Court, was encouraged by Wednesday's ruling. "This means that $750,000 of state taxpayer money will not be going into an account ded icated for the Harris County jail system," said Gray McBride, spokesman for Attorney General Dan Morales.

Madison HOUSTON (AP) — Local black ministers asked the district attorney Wednesday to tempo rarily ban the movie "New Jack City" until Warner Bros, re searches the effect the film about drug dealers is having on urban black youth. "We want (film director) Mario Van Peebles to make millions of dollars," the Rev. James Dixon said at a Harris County Court house news conference. "But he's not there to counsel the drug addicts that we counsel. He's not there to counsel the woman whose children have died." Dixon and three other min isters who comprise the Urban Crisis Task Force said the federal Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 en courages private industry to be involved in anti-drug efforts. He said Warner Bros., which produced the movie, should de termine the movie's effect on youth before it continues to show it. The ministers also want the Harris County district attor ney's office to enforce the mov ie's 'R' rating, barring children under 17 from entering the the ater without an adult. "We are not even alluding to censorship," Dixon said. "But the government has asked all in dustries to cooperate in the na tional war against drugs." Houston-based energy company offers board position to Gulf War celebrity HOUSTON (AP) — Lt. Gen. Thomas W. Kelly may parlay the fame he garnered during the Persian Gulf War into a board position with Houston-based en ergy company, Enron Corp. Kelly, who had jousted daily with reporters during televised war briefings, announced March 4 that he planned to retire from the Army at the end of the month. But he had no immediate plans. Enron Senior Vice President Ed Segner said Tuesday the Houston company had offered Kelly a possible seat on the board. But Kelly, 59, can't for mally accept the offer until he re tires, Segner said.
