Call Jason 268-0215 Convicted felons prepare for graduation The Associated Press AUSTIN — Preparations are underway for a graduation next month. The ceremony will feature a group of students preparing to take their place in society, but it won't occur at a college or feature scholastic diplomas. Instead, this commencement will be at a state prison. The "stu dents" are convicted felons. The graduation will be the first for a new prison substance abuse program, which has received as much criticism as it has praise. "I can't say I'm glad I came to the penitentiary," said Guadalupe Canales, who expects to graduate in January. "But if I had to be here. I'm glad this program was in the prison system and I got a chance to partake in it because if I would have just come to the penitentiary, done my time and got back out with no treatment, I would have come right back in here or gotten myself killed." Canales, serving a five-year sentence for a Nueces County rob bery, is one of 410 Texas inmates in the treatment program in the Clements Unit, a state prison in Amarillo designed for 2,250 maxi mum-security prisoners. The program celebrates its first graduation Dec. 4 and its second a month later, the Austin American- Statesman reported in its Sunday editions. The nine-month program is a manifestation of a promise by Gov. Ann Richards, a recovering alcoholic, to expand drug and al cohol treatment programs in prison. "When you've got 80 percent of the people in (prison) who are addicted, it's pretty obvious that when you put them back out there on the street, they're still going to be addicted and they're going to commit their crime to get the drugs again, and you have got to break the cycle of that behavior," Richards said. The program, she said, teaches inmates to accept responsibility, shows them there are people they can trust and helps them find fol low-up care "to help them lead a straight and narrow life." There are three treatment phas es: in-prison therapy, a three- month halfway house program and an outpatient phase when the inmate is freed, said Dorothy Brown, coordinator for the prison system's treatment programs. But it's costly — about $8,000 per inmate — and some critics say it isn't worth the money. George W. Bush, Richards' GOP rival in next year's election, is one prominent critic of the pro gram. "He isn't convinced of the long-term effectiveness," said Karl Rove, Bush's campaign con sultant. Other critics fear inmates'ef forts to control their addictions will be corrupted by prison peer pressure. They argue inmates will be reluctant to join the program, or, once enrolled, will drop out to avoid the hassles of being differ ent. But Canales and others say they plan to prove the critics wrong. "There are a lot of people here with 50s and 60s (50 -and 60-year sentences) and life sentences, and a lot of them already got their frame of mind, T ain't ever going to get to change. I'm just going to do my time and that's the way it is,"' Canales said. "But they can look in at us and see that we were just like them but we're changing, and it shows them that anybody can change if they try." TB Continued from Page 1 complete their drug treatment and eventually develop TB again. When patients become re-in fected and start medication again, McMurray said that is the time when problems arise with drug- resistant strains of the disease be cause the body is already accus tomed to treatment. "We have got to do something about compliance," he said. "We could probably prevent more drug resistant strains from arising if we could make sure patients stick with the medication." McMurray said a shortened pe riod of therapy or the develop ment of an implantable drug de livery system could improve pa tient compliance. Another possibility that Mc Murray said could be used to in crease compliance is direct obser vation therapy, where drug thera py is overseen by a health care of ficial. "Many states already have laws which call for d.o.t. (direct observation therapy)," he said. "It has been very effective." Dr. William Conkling, health authority for Brazos County, said tuberculosis is present locally, but he is not as concerned with TB as with other diseases. The Brazos County Health De partment sees local TB patients once a week and also holds a doc tor's clinic once a month. Conkling said the county has a nurse assigned to work with tu berculosis patients. "The key to control is proper screening and observed drug therapy," Conkling said. "If we give medications, we do observed medication services." Conkling said he would like to see screening done on all foreign nationals coming into this com-, munity in order to reduce the risk of infection. McMurray also said more fre quent skin testing should be insti tuted. "It probably ought to be insti f tuted in professions where em ployees are in direct contact with| people," McMurray said. Because tuberculosis is a per son-to-person disease and is so easily transmitted, he said, every body is at risk of infection. "The problem is all it takes is one person with TB to infect a large group," he said. "I certainly wouldn't place a college student in the high risk group." The biggest increase in tuber culosis transmission since 1985 has come in ethnic minority groups, especially Hispanics, blacks and Asians, McMurray said. The challenge with this once easily cured disease now is elimi nation. "Unfortunately, there isn't any thing in a free-living society that can be done except to be aware that the disease is coming back,’ he said. "In the long run, we have to come up with some world-wide solutions." JZL+r
