Top 5 Heart Attack Signs in Women
Women may not recognize these other symptoms as signs of a heart attack.
By Patrick Sullivan
You might think of a heart attack as a “man’s problem,” but more than 53,000 women in the United States
die of heart attacks each year. And while chest pain is the most common symptom of a heart attack in both
men and women, women are less likely to have chest pain and more likely to have symptoms easily
mistaken for another condition.
Unusual fatigue
In a study published in the American Journal of Critical Care, of 256 people who had heart attacks,
fatigue was reported by more than 60% of women, making unusual fatigue the second most
common symptom for women in that study after chest pain. According to the American Heart
Association, only 10% of women realize that fatigue can be a symptom of a heart attack.
Indigestion and heartburn
Heart attack symptoms can be mistaken for heartburn or indigestion. In the same American Journal
of Critical Care study, researchers found that women were “significantly” more likely than men to
experience the burning pain of heartburn during a heart attack.
If the heartburn or indigestion doesn’t go away on its own, if you have shortness of breath or
sweating, or if you didn’t eat or drink anything or take any medications that might cause heartburn,
get checked out.
Pain in the neck, jaw, arms, stomach or back
6
Along with chest pain, pain in the left arm is a classic symptom of a heart attack. But pain from a
heart attack can radiate throughout the upper body, including the neck, jaw, shoulders, either or
both arms, stomach or back. In a 2014 study of 736 people in the Journal of the American Heart
Association, researchers found that women were twice as likely as men to report pain in the arm or
shoulder during an acute coronary syndrome event, of which heart attack is one (unstable angina is
the other).
Nausea and vomiting
According to another study published in Gender Medicine, women were much more likely than men
to report being nauseated during a heart attack. More than half of the women in the study
experienced nausea, compared to less than a third of the men.
Nausea (and vomiting) are symptoms of many conditions, so it’s important to be aware of other
symptoms of a heart attack, especially chest pain, if you’re nauseated or throwing up.
Shortness of breath
If you’re winded like you’ve just run a marathon but you haven’t gotten off the couch, take note.
Shortness of breath, or dyspnea, is a common symptom of heart attack in women. A 2016 analysis
of 16 studies found that a quarter of them showed a greater chance of women having dyspnea
during a heart attack than men.
Shortness of breath may or may not be accompanied by chest pain.
What to do
If you think you’re having a heart attack, call 9‐1‐1 right away. The operator may advise you to chew
aspirin if you’re not allergic. Do not drive yourself or have someone drive you to the hospital.
Emergency medical personnel are trained to respond to cardiac emergencies and can start
treatment on the way. If you can get treatment within 90 minutes, your chance of recovery is much
higher.

Advocates fear more
heroin withdrawal deaths
in jails
In the days following her 18-year-old daughter's first arrest on heroin charges,
Stephanie Moyer took solace in thinking she would be safe in jail until she got into a
treatment program.

Victoria "Tori" Herr died Easter Sunday 2015 following heroin withdrawal days into her first jail stint.

LEBANON, Pa.
In the days following her 18-year-old daughter's first arrest on heroin charges, Stephanie Moyer took
solace in thinking she would be safe in jail until she got into a treatment program.
However, Victoria "Tori" Herr sounded disoriented on a call home three days later. She feared she
was dying and begged for something to drink, her mother said.
Herr, who had a 10-bag-a-day habit, collapsed following days of severe vomiting and diarrhea at the
Lebanon County Correctional Facility. She spent five days in the hospital, then died on Easter
Sunday 2015.
Her case is one of at least a half-dozen deaths nationwide during the last two years involving jail
heroin withdrawal, and advocates fear the number will grow given the nation's heroin crisis.
Advocates find the deaths particularly troubling because opioid withdrawal, while miserable, is rarely
life-threatening if medication, monitoring and intravenous fluids are available.
"This is a woman who died because she was detoxing," said Moyer's lawyer, Jonathan Feinberg,
who filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Monday. "Had Tori Herr's withdrawal been treated ... she
almost certainly would be alive today."
Warden Robert Karnes told Moyer that his staff followed "all operational protocols," the lawsuit says.
Jail and county officials didn't return calls Monday seeking comment.
"This is an emerging, growing problem, and it's hitting communities all over the country. That's
exponentially so in jails," said Emma Freudenberger, a co-counsel on the lawsuit.
Other withdrawal deaths have been reported at jails around the country:
— In Oregon, a 26-year-old woman wrote increasingly dire notes to jail staff begging for help before
she died after six days behind bars in 2014, The Oregonian reported.
— Near Detroit, a 32-year-old man lost 50 pounds during a monthlong stay in 2014 as he struggled
to withdraw from methadone, opioids and the anti-anxiety drug benzodiazepine. A jail video shows
him lying naked on a stone floor during what his family's lawsuit called his slow, painful death.
— In Colorado, a 25-year-old man died last year after he was prescribed a mixture of drugs to treat
his withdrawal symptoms but never received them, according to his family's lawsuit.
Dr. Eke Kalu, the general medical director of the Philadelphia prison system, said quitting heroin is
one of the "safer withdrawals" compared with alcohol and some other drugs. The city screens
inmates to assess their need for medication or IV fluids. Officials couldn't remember an opiate
withdrawal death in the past decade.
Officials at Rikers Island, in New York, have long run a methadone maintenance program, which
experts believe can help detainees kick their habit and lower the risk of relapse.
But smaller jails may lack in-house medical units or sufficient monitoring. Advocates say that can
amount to cruel and unusual punishment. Freudenberger believes jail officials in Lebanon should
have sent Herr to a hospital earlier.
Herr was staggering by the time she was taken to the medical unit the last night there, according to
Moyer's lawsuit. She was given water and Ensure, but resumed vomiting when she returned to her
cell, the lawsuit said. Dehydration brought on by constant vomiting and diarrhea can lead to delirium,
an electrolyte imbalance and cardiac damage. Herr also went without oxygen after she collapsed,
the suit said.
"I'm not a professional, but, as a mother — Day 1 — I would have taken her to the hospital if I would
have seen her vomiting or not keeping things down," Moyer said.
Herr graduated from high school in 2014 despite using heroin in the final months, something her
mother attributes to her long struggle with anxiety. Moyer last saw her two days before her arrest,
when they talked about an inpatient treatment program.
"I told her that her name was Victoria and that's close to 'victorious,' and I promised her she would
be victorious in getting through it," Moyer said.

A Parker County jailer who had an apparent heart attack may very well

It happened on June 23 in a holding cell in the basement of the District
Courts Building in Weatherford.
At least eight prisoners were behind a locked door in a small room off to
one side. Their lone guard sat outside and had been joking with them
when he slumped over unconscious.
"He just fell over," said inmate Nick Kelton. "Looked like an act. Could
have died right there." ...read on

[Florida] Jail hopes program helps
heroin-addicted inmates get clean
Orlando Sentinel
2
The first time Jeremy Pries overdosed on heroin, his brother broke a
bathroom door off its hinges to rescue him.
"I was like, 'I'm done. No more,'" he said, recalling his vow to stop using
the street drug after the near-fatal episode in 2014.
But he wasn't done with heroin.
Pries, 25, said he started using again a few weeks after he was released
from the hospital. And in 2015, he OD'd a second time. He passed out in
a parking lot on International Drive, foaming from the mouth after
shooting up in a tattoo shop toilet. He vowed to stop again but failed
again.
"This'll be my best shot," Pries said last week in an interview at
the Orange County Jail, where he is among 144 inmates who
volunteered to enroll in a pilot project for incarcerated heroin users.
"Every time I've been locked up, it's been because of drug use. But
quitting, it's hard on your own ..." ...read on

information sharing challenges
Thursday, July 21, 2016
2-3:30PM Eastern
In this webinar, you will learn how the implementation of the Prison Rape
Elimination Act (PREA) was supported by the development of a
consensus-based PREA Data Standard.
The IJIS Institute developed and recently implemented this standard in
state correctional facilities in Iowa, Arkansas and New Mexico. You will
hear the agency leaders from these three states discuss the value their
agencies are receiving from the recent implementation of the PREA Data
Standard. The agency leaders will share why they believe the PREA Data
Standard will provide tremendous benefits through a wider
implementation across the country, making the PREA Data Standard a
truly national standard.

[Tennessee] Hamilton County Sheriff
lowers minimum age to become jail
correctional officer
Times Free Press
People as young as 18 can now apply to become correctional officers at
the Hamilton County Jail, Sheriff Jim Hammond said today.
The minimum age requirement was previously 21, Hammond said,
because state law sets that age as the minimum to carry a gun.
3
"It's a simple argument," he said. "We will take a young man who is 18
and give him a military uniform and a rifle and put him in a overseas to
protect this nation and lives of people all over the world but we don't
allow them to work as a correctional officer here because they'r enot
allowed to carry a weapon until they're 21. You don't need a weapon to
work at the jail."
The jail is chronically understaffed and overcrowded, and Hammond
hopes the move will alleviate some of the problem, which lowers quality
of life for both correctional officers and inmates. ...read on

Can Indiana trade overcrowded jails
for treatment reform?
IndyStar
Two years ago, Ashley Sorrel wore a hospital gown inside the Marion
County Jail, with twigs and dirt snarled in her hair and 92 stitches
stretched across her body.
Hours before, Sorrel, now 29, led Indianapolis Metropolitan Police
Department officers on a high-speed chase after she was caught stealing
FedEx packages from residential porches to pay for her drug
habit. Sorrel crashed, and her car caught fire. She tried to run, but police
canines chased her down, and an officer deployed his Taser.
This was close to rock bottom. But it wasn't her final criminal charge.
Sorrel quickly racked up another theft charge after she was released
from jail, again to pay for drugs. A judge sentenced her to a year of
home detention. Knowing she couldn't stay clean during the sentence,
Sorrel applied for a recovery program. She said the last time she got
high was July 2014. ...read on

[Missouri] Respect is operative word
for female correctional officer
Lee's Summit Journal
Nilda Serrano is on a side of history that's makes her smile, a gesture
that contrasts the daily grind of her profession.
An employee of the Jackson County Corrections Department for 24
years, Serrano was promoted to captain in June. After eight years as a
sergeant and a year-and-a-half as a lieutenant, she became the first
female and the first Hispanic to reach that rank.
Jackson County Executive Frank White, Jr., was among the first to shake
Serrano's hand during a brief ceremony at the Jackson County Detention
Center to announce the promotion. The history behind the move was not
lost on Serrano.
"I've always wanted to be at this level because no female has ever made
it this far," she said. "And neither has a Hispanic."
The corrections department operates both the Jackson County Detention
Center and Regional Correctional Center, adjoining facilities located just
a block from the Jackson County Courthouse in downtown Kansas
City. ...read on
[Arkansas] Inmates released due to
jail overcrowding
NWA
Repeat non-violent offenders and parolee's not being held in jail. Some
say it's due jail over crowding problem across the state.
5
According to the Arkansas Department of Corrections, parolee's of nonviolent crimes are often given a court date and released from jail due to
over crowding.
Saturday, we look into how these repeat offenders and parolee's are
skipping jail time....
Doing time for committing the crime, that's the way it's supposed to go.
So how and why are repeat offenders ending up back on the streets?
Washington County Prosecuting Attorney Matt Durrett tells us if someone
is arrested on a new felony charge, that person is entitled to a
bond. ...read on

[Minnesota] Classification change
coming for Winona County jail
Post-Bulletin
Big changes are coming to the Winona County Detention Center after
Aug. 31. The Minnesota Department of Corrections has downgraded the
jail from a Class III facility to a Class II facility.
That change, said Capt. Steven Buswell, jail administrator for the WCDC,
will result in a lot of inmates moving out of the jail and heading to
neighboring counties. Starting Sept. 1, the jail will no longer house
female prisoners. Also, the maximum stay for prisoners will be reduced
from one year to 90 days.
The jail, built in 1978, has been facing classification change for years,
practically since it opened, Buswell said.
"When this building was built in May of 1978, it was built under what
were called the 1910 rules," he said. Not long thereafter, the state
legislature and DOC changed the rules by how jails should be built and
operated to the current 2911 rules. "The building was made to be in
compliance in 1978." ...read on

[Ohio] New program readies inmates
for leaving jail
Toledo Blade
Two dozen Lucas County jail inmates sat in a semicircle and considered a
question regarding the rest of their lives: What do you want your "dash"
to be?
Jacob Spellis drew a tombstone on the whiteboard and looked toward the
crowd. He wrote in his year of birth, 1992, and a hyphen for the
undetermined future.
"You want to be known as the biggest weed dealer in Toledo? The
biggest heroin shooter?" he asked.
One inmate, Eric Furll, replied, "I want mine to be that after 20 years in
prison, I made something of myself."
Spellis, a group facilitator at New Concepts, led a substance abuse
session as part of a new jail program. The Treatment Re-entry
Awareness Community began last month in a reopened area of the
building. ...read on

[New York] Corrections officers
battle wind and rain for beach
volleyball tournament
NBC5-WPTZ
A little rain and whole lot of wind did not stop some of our area's bravest
from hitting the beach Saturday.
"I'd rather it was sunny and warm. But you gotta do what you gotta do,
and you go out there with your friends and you have a good time, and
you raise money for a good cause," Clinton County Corrections Officer,
Chris Bouvia, said.
Teams made up mostly of officers from Clinton Correctional Facility in
Dannemora squared off at Plattsburgh City Beach Saturday for a beach

There were some delays due to lightning, but players got back on course
after waiting for thirty minutes without a strike. ...read on

Pa. to settle with inmate for 22 years in solitary confinement
By Rich Lord / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The state will pay $99,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by an inmate held in solitary
confinement for 22 years, according to an agreement announced Monday.
Russell Maroon Shoatz, 72, of Philadelphia, will use his portion of the money to start a
foundation to help prisoners to re-enter society, according to his son, Russell Shoatz III.
The state has also pledged to stop punishing Shoatz with isolation for his past acts and
to give him a one-man cell for the rest of his life. The Abolitionist Law Center, which
represented Shoatz, wrote in its press release that it’s important that he have his own
cell so that “he will not have to experience the extreme hardship of being forced to
share a cell following decades of enforced isolation.”
Shoatz sued the state in 2013 and was removed from restricted housing — which
involves 23 hours a day alone in a cell — in February 2014. One big change was being
allowed to touch visitors.
“He was unable to do physical contact with people” at first, said Mr. Shoatz, the son.
“Now he hugs people, and it’s a lot easier.”
Shoatz is serving a life sentence for the 1970 slaying in Philadelphia of Fairmount Park
police Sgt. Frank Von Colln.
He escaped twice from prison, in 1977 and 1980, and in 1983 became interim president
of the inmate organization Pennsylvania Association of Lifers. He was in solitary
confinement from 1992 to 2014, constituting cruel and unusual punishment, his
attorneys have alleged.
A department spokeswoman wrote that the state is “happy with the terms of the
agreement and will continue to abide by them for the duration of Mr. Shoatz’s
sentence.”
The department has stopped using standard solitary confinement to punish seriously
mentally ill inmates but continues to use that form of discipline for other inmates,
sometimes for long periods.

Advocates fear more heroin withdrawal deaths in jails
BY Maryclaire Dale
LEBANON -In the days following her 18-year-old daughter's first arrest on heroin
charges, Stephanie Moyer took solace in thinking she would be safe in jail until she got
into a treatment program.
However, Victoria "Tori" Herr sounded disoriented on a call home three days later. She
feared she was dying and complained of being thirsty, her mother said.
Herr, who had a 10-bag-a-day habit, collapsed following days of severe vomiting and
diarrhea at the Lebanon County Correctional Facility. She spent five days in the
hospital, then died on Easter Sunday 2015.
Her case is one of at least a half-dozen deaths nationwide during the last two years
involving jail heroin withdrawal, and advocates fear the number will grow given the
nation's heroin crisis. Advocates find the deaths particularly troubling because opioid
withdrawal, while miserable, is rarely life-threatening if medication, monitoring and
intravenous fluids are available.
“This is a woman who died because she was detoxing," said Moyer's lawyer, Jonathan
Feinberg, who filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Monday. "Had Tori Herr's withdrawal
been treated ... she almost certainly would be alive today."
Warden Robert Karnes told Moyer that his staff followed "all operational protocols," the
lawsuit says. Jail and county officials didn't return calls Monday seeking comment.
"This is an emerging, growing problem, and it's hitting communities all over the country.
That's exponentially so in jails," said Emma Freudenberger, a co-counsel on the lawsuit.
Other withdrawal deaths have been reported at jails around the country:
— In Oregon, a 26-year-old woman wrote increasingly dire notes to jail staff begging for
help before she died after six days behind bars in 2014, The Oregonian reported.
— Near Detroit, a 32-year-old man lost 50 pounds during a monthlong stay in 2014 as
he struggled to withdraw from methadone, opioids and the anti-anxiety drug
benzodiazepine. A jail video shows him lying naked on a stone floor during what his
family's lawsuit called his slow, painful death.
— In Colorado, a 25-year-old man died last year after he was prescribed a mixture of
drugs to treat his withdrawal symptoms but never received them, according to his
family's lawsuit.
Dr. Eke Kalu, the general medical director of the Philadelphia prison system, said
quitting heroin is one of the "safer withdrawals" compared with alcohol and some other
drugs. The city screens inmates to assess their need for medication or IV fluids.
Officials couldn't remember an opiate withdrawal death in the past decade.
Officials at Rikers Island, in New York, have long run a methadone maintenance
program, which experts believe can help detainees kick their habit and lower the risk of
relapse.
But smaller jails may lack in-house medical units or sufficient monitoring. Advocates say
that can amount to cruel and unusual punishment. Freudenberger believes jail officials
in Lebanon should have sent Herr to a hospital earlier.
Herr was staggering by the time she was taken to the medical unit the last night there,
according to Moyer's lawsuit. She was given water and Ensure, but resumed vomiting
when she returned to her cell, the lawsuit said. Dehydration brought on by constant
vomiting and diarrhea can lead to delirium, an electrolyte imbalance and cardiac
damage. Herr also went without oxygen after she collapsed, the suit said.
"I'm not a professional, but, as a mother — Day 1 — I would have taken her to the
hospital if I would have seen her vomiting or not keeping things down," Moyer said.
Herr graduated from high school in 2014 despite using heroin in the final months,
something her mother attributes to her long struggle with anxiety. Moy er last saw her
the day before her arrest, when they talked about an inpatient treatment program.
"I told her that her name was Victoria and that's close to 'victorious,' and I promised her
she would be victorious in getting through it," Moyer said.

Stress on job drives Montour warden to retire
By Karen Blackledge
DANVILLE — Montour County Prison Warden Gerald "Jerry" Cutchall says stress on
the job has driven him to retire as of July 29.
Cutchall, 61, returned to work Monday from a Family Medical Leave Act absence begun
May 18.
He also has about 10 days left on a 30-day probationary period imposed in early May by
the county prison board.
Following an executive session Monday, the prison board accepted Cutchall's letter of
resignation for medical reasons, Board Chairman and Commissioner Trevor Finn said.
Finn said the letter was accepted unanimously. The only board member absent was
President Thomas James Jr. who was unable to make the meeting due to court
proceedings in Columbia County.
The board also appointed Jim Hack, a deputy sheriff who has been serving as acting
administrator of the prison, to assess the operational structure of prison management.
Besides the warden, the jail administration includes Lt. Scott Davis. The board may look
differently at the way the prison is administered or may keep it the same, Finn said.
Hack will continue serving as acting administrator while Cutchall is at the prison.
The board recognized the warden’s many years on the job and he was thanked for his
service. We are hopeful that we could honor his legacy by effectuating a smooth
transition. To that end, Jim Hack has agreed to work with the warden through his last
day. We requested that the warden share as much of his knowledge as possible with
Jim during that time so that the warden can tie up any loose ends and that nothing “falls
through the cracks,” County District Attorney Angela Matti, a board member, said. Mattis
made the comments to Cutchall on behalf of the board.
Also making up the board are Commissioners Ken Holdren and Dan Hartman and
Sheriff Ray Gerringer.
Before the board went into a private executive session for personnel issues,
Commissioners Chairman Holdren said Cutchall had about 10 days left on the
probationary period.
While board members would not say when the probation was imposed, a county official
said the action related to the warden not following a court order when releasing a
prisoner.
The county commissioners are expected to accept his letter of retirement at their
meeting today.
By the time he retires, Cutchall said he will have almost 28 years of service to the
county. He has served as warden for 13 years and before that was deputy warden.
He said he was retiring due to "duress in the workplace."
"When I was off for FMLA, my wife and I decided in 28 years I have seen and heard a
lot. After discussions with my wife and family, (we have 12 grandkids), they definitely
are a great part of my life and I want to enjoy the rest of my time on earth with them," he
said.
He thanked the people of the county for allowing him to serve them. "I take great pride
in my work and my integrity. My only hope is whoever steps in my shoes does the
same. I do care about the county and taxpayers and try to run the jail as efficiently as I
can and keep within the budget," he said.
"It's hard for me to go, but due to my health ... ," he said.
He said he is in very good health and being off for medical leave "definitely helped me a
lot."
Cutchall said he kind of looks forward to retiring, saying the position of warden is "very,
very stressful."
"I always tried to do the best job I could and will continue to until I leave," he said.
Having begun as a correctional officer, Cutchall was promoted to lieutenant, then to
deputy warden and to warden in 2003.
He said he does have a groundskeeping position lined up for after retirement.

EBENSBURG – An inmate who tried to escape Cambria County Prison on July 1 faces
multiple charges and will appear before a judge on Tuesday.
Christopher Allen Sanner, 22, of Punxsutawney, has been charged with three felonies:
criminal attempt escape, institutional vandalism and criminal mischief/damaging
property.
According to a criminal complaint, Sanner, a state parole violator housed at the prison,
used his hands and feet to tear away at a wall located inside a bathroom in a minimal
security housing unit.
During his routine check of the housing area, a guard noticed a metal wall in one of the
bathroom stalls had been pulled away, saw wood chippings and insulation surrounding
the area and alerted supervisors.
At first, no one took responsibility for the damage when Warden Christian Smith
questioned the entire housing unit, the affidavit says.
Eventually, Sanner admitted the act.
Prison officials discovered that Sanner had fresh scratches on his neck, arms, hands,
shoulders and back area “believed to have been sustained while he was attempting to
get through the hole” he had created in the wall, the affidavit says.
During an interview with a county detective, Sanner said he “had a bad phone call so he
decided to try to get out.”
According to the affidavit, all other inmates in the housing unit were examined for fresh
scratches and it was determined that no other inmates were involved in the damage.
Sanner was arraigned Thursday by District Judge Michael Zungali, who set bail at 10
percent of $200,000.
Sanner remains in the Cambria County Prison after he was unable to post bail. He is
scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 1 p.m. Tuesday in front of District Judge
Frederick Creany.
According to online court records, Sanner violated his parole from 2013 charges of
simple assault, theft and false reports. He was resentenced in 2014 to additional
probation and jail time.

Mentally ill defendants kept in Montgomery County prison; no rooms available at
hospital
By Kaityn Foti
In April 2015, Kymere Corbin’s parents put their son in a car to get him the help they
knew he needed for his mental illness. More than a year later, Corbin has not received
that treatment in a facility.
A gunshot on the Schuylkill Expressway, an attempted murder charge and three
competency evaluations later, Corbin remains on a waitlist for treatment at Norristown
State Hospital.
Corbin, from South Philadelphia, has been on the waitlist for about six months, since a
Montgomery County judge decided in December that he was mentally incompetent to
stand trial and ordered he be moved to the state hospital’s forensic unit.
“To me, he’s clearly incompetent to proceed, and he needs to get treated so that he can
be competent to proceed. Hopefully. And right now we’re not going forward to trial and
he’s not getting any help so it’s frustrating,” said Benjamin Cooper, Corbin’s attorney
from the Montgomery County Public Defender’s Office.
Corbin, who spent his 23rd birthday in Montgomery County Correctional Facility, was
arrested April 7, 2015, after allegedly shooting his father, who was behind the wheel
driving westbound on I-76, near the Matsonford Road exit. At the time, his parents were
taking him for drug and mental health rehabilitation at Malvern Institute.
On Dec. 28, Montgomery County Judge Thomas P. Rogers ordered Corbin to undergo
psychiatric treatment at Norristown State Hospital, declaring the defendant incompetent
to stand trial.
“The definition of competency is the ability to understand the nature of the charges and
assist his attorney in the preparation of his defense,” Cooper said.
There aren’t enough beds in the forensic wing of Norristown State Hospital to
accommodate those in the criminal justice system who need treatment in a psychiatric
facility, many say. In fact, even the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services has
acknowledged this by settling a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on
behalf of those who have had delays being admitted to Norristown or Torrance state
hospitals.
“Both Plaintiffs and Defendants desire to reduce the delays in transferring incompetent
patients to suitable treatment facilities, which both Plaintiffs and Defendants
acknowledge is a problem that began years ago, has increased recently, and cannot be
justified clinically or legally,” the settlement states.
The settlement states that average wait times are “at least” 60 days for admission for
both of the state hospitals. David P. Gersch, who served as co-counsel to the ACLU on
the lawsuit, said the average wait time as of mid-June is 221 days, with Norristown
State Hospital having a much longer wait than Torrance.
“It’s illegal, for one thing. If you’re not competent to stand trial, they can’t just throw you
in jail,” Gersch said. “They can treat you, they can drop the charges, they can restore
competency. They’re not doing any of those things; they’re just throwing them in jail.”
Dennis Marion, deputy secretary of the Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse
Services, said the increase in wait times for Norristown is due to a change in the
Philadelphia courts’ referral process. The court began referring individuals admitted to
the psychiatric unit in the Philadelphia jail to Norristown State Hospital, which “raised
the base number for the forensic waitlist.”
Corbin has been waiting more than 190 days for his transfer to Norristown State
Hospital.
A Montgomery County spokeswoman said that it costs $49.87 per day to house
someone in MCCF, meaning Corbin’s time in county jail since he was ordered into
placement at the hospital has cost the county about $9,500.
Cooper said a female client of his who was recently transferred to the hospital waited
two years for placement.
The ACLU lawsuit, which was filed in October of 2015, argued that a wait time of more
than seven days violated the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, along with
portions of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act.
Wait times for that transfer would generally be considered as credit toward an eventual
sentence, Cooper said. For example, if Corbin is convicted of the charges against him,
which include attempted murder and aggravated assault, the time he is waiting for
transfer would be taken off his prison sentence.
If a defendant is not convicted, however, it is likely time lost. And for those charged with
minor crimes like retail theft, they spend much more time in jail waiting for placement
than they would with a standard sentence. For first time offenders, retail theft often
carries no jail time at all.
While the defendants wait in jail to be transferred for treatment, it is not clear if the delay
is detrimental to their mental health.
“That is actually a difficult question for me to answer. Advocates would say that it is,”
said Dr. Dale Adair, chief medical officer at Norristown State Hospital. “It really depends
on the individual and what treatments they are receiving. Because someone is in jail
does not mean he cannot receive treatment.”
Alyssa Shatz, vice president of advocacy for the Mental Health Association of
Southeastern Pennsylvania, said it is about more than just the treatment.
“The reason that spending time in jail for people with mental health conditions is
detrimental to their health, is A) they are not getting the treatment they need, and B)
people with mental illness are more likely to be abused, more likely to experience
violence, more likely to be further traumatized,” she said. “With a long wait time for
competency, people end up languishing in jail, which is not good for anyone.”
Cooper said Corbin is being held in the medium-max security wing of Montgomery
County Correction Facility. He is receiving medication, but does not have a treatment
team like those that would work with him at Norristown State Hospital.
A treatment team, Adair said, is composed of psychiatrists, psychologists and
therapists, along with nurses and social workers. Primary care physicians would also be
included if there were any physical health problems. That team is assigned to work with
the defendant until they are legally competent to stand trial.
“It’s hard to get to somebody being competent without providing treatment, so they go
hand in hand,” Adair said. “The order may not always state the treatment part, what
you’re hoping is that you are able to get them to a better place as far as their
symptoms.”
The long wait to get that treatment, however, is a subject of frustration for many
involved in the case.
“The client’s going to get worse and worse if he’s not treated, or could,” he said. “It’s
against the public interest because it delays the outcome of the case for interested
parties such as witnesses, victims, the public, police, the defendant, everybody. It takes
up space in the prison for someone waiting to be transported, so it’s costing money, you
know, there’s nothing good being done by that.”
Meanwhile, Corbin waits in Montgomery County jail, not for trial, but for treatment.
“He’s in need of treatment and he’s entitled to it,” Cooper said. “We just have to get it
done.”
As for Corbin’s family, they are waiting to learn the fate of their son. The father is still
recovering from the gunshot wound suffered at the hands of his son. The mother, whom
Cooper has been in contact with throughout the process, is hoping for the best.
“They’ve been very nice, very patient,” Cooper said. “They’re frustrated. They know I’m
trying, and they’re just hoping that it can get done, so their kid can get help.”
Note: This is part one of a two-part report at defendants waiting to get a bed in
Norristown State Hospital. Part two will look at what is being done to lessen that wait.

Advocates push for more options for mentally ill defendants
By Kaitlyn Foti
During the summer of 2014, a Montgomery County judge declared 23-year-old Jason
James Payne incompetent to stand trial for allegedly attacking his mother, Pamela, with
a foot-long butcher knife inside the East Third Street home they shared in Pottstown.
Payne waited in jail for four months until there was room for him at Norristown State
Hospital, where he is now being treated for mental illness.
In 2015, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a class-action lawsuit against the
Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, with a lead plaintiff listed only as J.H.,
declaring that any prison wait of more than seven days violated a defendant’s
constitutional rights.
Attorney David P. Gersch, who served as co-counsel to the ACLU on the lawsuit, said
that J.H. spent more than a year on the waitlist after stealing $3 in peppermint patties.
The lawsuit was settled Jan. 27 of this year, with stipulations that DHS, which funds
Norristown and Torrance state hospitals, creates 60 new treatment placements for
those declared incompetent.
The state has created 49 new beds in residential treatment facilities, including
Gaudenzia, New Vitae and Girard Recovery Center. There is also an action plan that
includes 20 new extended treatment slots, 60 slots for continued care for those
discharged from the hospital and 100 supported housing slots.
The progress, still in its early stages, will take time to have an impact, Gersch said.
“In a nut shell, the wait times still have not come down, and that can be because there
are more people in the system, or because they haven’t gotten the DAs to sign off on
moving people to places which the DA may not think is secure,” Gersch said.
When asked about the current average wait times for the two state hospitals, Dennis
Marion, Deputy Secretary of the Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse
Services, referred to the lawsuit which stated that the average wait time was “at least 60
days.”
“Wait times for NSH are significantly longer than for TSH. We have not calculated
average wait times as we are bringing the new beds on line,” Marion said in an email,
adding that the numbers are “coming down.”
The ACLU continues to work with the state as they execute the plan laid out in the
settlement agreement. Gersch said that there is still concern that the state is not making
visible progress.
“Since we have entered into our agreement with DHS, they have been making efforts to
have more beds, and that’s very important,” he said. “We believe that can be a part or
all of the solution, but as of this date, the wait list hasn’t come down yet.”
Dr. Dale Adair, chief medical officer at Norristown State Hospital, said that there are
steps that can be taken at the county level to reduce wait times.
“Mental health courts are a good example of ways that prevent individuals with mental
health concerns from going into the criminal justice system instead of treatment,” Adair
said. “We also know that a significant number of individuals who are incarcerated may
or may not have mental health as their primary issue.”
Montgomery County does have a Behavioral Health Court, as well as a Drug Court.
Both are specialized judicial programs to offer defendants treatment options opposed to
harsh sentences for minor crimes. Adair said both help reduce waiting times for the
hospital.
“Substance use is a big component, so drug courts, those types of things, which are
geared more towards getting individuals more into treatment rather than getting them
incarcerated, they help,” Adair said.
Montgomery County recently issued a request for proposals for vendors to supply more
treatment options for mentally ill prisoners. In the paperwork for the request, the cost of
those with serious mental illness was shown to be higher than those without.
“In 2008, a sample of 38 inmates with (serious mental illness) housed at MCCF showed
an Average Length of Stay (ALOS) of 230 days as compared to the general population
ALOS of 72 days. Using the above ALOS for each population with the jail per diem of
$47 per day, the cost for each person with SMI is $10,810 vs. $3,384 for the general
population,” the document states.
It goes on to say that the cost doesn’t even include the cost of psychotropic medication
that 32 percent of inmates are taking.
“It is estimated that reducing the length of stay for inmates with (serious mental illness)
to that of that of the general population would save the county approximately $7,426 per
inmate,” the research stated.
The request also sought ways to keep those with mental illness who commit minor
crimes out of jail in the first place. One proposal is to create support plans for those who
are capable of showing up for court dates and other appointments on their own. Another
is to help with access benefits, housing, transportation, treatment and support services
and education or employment to reduce the risk of committing another crime.
“I think that one part of the problem is that we need to get people into competency
treatment more quickly, the other part of this is that we want to have anybody who can
live in the community as quickly as possible, with appropriate supports,” said Alyssa
Shatz, vice president of advocacy for the Mental Health Association of Southeastern
Pennsylvania.
While community-based options would not change the path for someone like Payne, or
other violent offenders, it would create more options for someone who stole $3 worth of
candy, thereby freeing up a bed in a state hospital.
“You have people who are not dangerous taking up a bed in what is the most secure
facility you can have. The goal is to get people out of Norristown and into more suitable
locations, and getting people into Norristown who really need it,” Gersch said.
“J.H. was arrested for stealing $3 of peppermint patties, so he doesn’t need to be in a
facility that secure. He was a citizen of Pennsylvania, and he was behind bars instead of
getting treatment.”
This is part two of a two-part report defendants waiting to get a bed in Norristown State
Hospital. Part one looked at the wait and how it was detrimental to those with mental
illness.

Judge dismisses retaliation lawsuit against Lackawanna County prison employee
By Terrie Morgan-Besecker
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Lackawanna County prison employee who
alleged she was retaliated against for picketing with striking county Youth and Family
Services workers.
U.S. District Judge Malachy Mannion said Michelle Barnard could not prevail in her
case because the prison union’s contract forbids employees from engaging in
“sympathy strikes” with other unions.
Ms. Barnard, who was suspended for one day without pay, sued the county in
November, alleging Human Services Director Brian Loughney violated her First
Amendment right to free speech by retaliating against her for joining the workers on the
picket line on May 14, 2015.
In a motion to dismiss, county attorney Joseph Joyce said Ms. Barnard was suspended
because she called off sick to attend the union rally, which is an abuse of sick leave.
Mr. Joyce also argued Ms. Barnard waived her First Amendment rights because the
prison union contract forbids employees from picketing with other unions.
Judge Mannion agreed. In his ruling Friday, the judge noted Ms. Barnard acknowledged
she joined the striking workers. The union contract clearly states employees cannot
engage in sympathy strikes, so she cannot state a First Amendment retaliation claim.
Ms. Barnard’s attorney, Cynthia Pollick of Pittston, said she will appeal.

Convicted teen Iowa killer leaving prison on work release
By Grant Rodgers
For the first time in almost 28 years, convicted murderer Yvette Louisell soon will live
outside the walls of prison.
The Iowa Board of Parole voted Friday to move her to an Ames work-release program,
ending years of legal wrangling that overturned an earlier sentence of life without
parole.
Louisell was convicted of first-degree murder in 1987 for the killing of Keith Stilwell
inside his Ames home. She was a 17-year-old college student at the time of the murder.
She is one the first Iowa inmates convicted of first-degree murder as a teenager to be
granted conditional parole after a 2012 Supreme Court ruling declared that mandatory
life-without-parole sentences are an unconstitutional form of cruel and unusual
punishment for those who committed their crimes before turning 18.
There are more than 30 Iowa inmates who fall into this category.
“Not everybody believes that people in my category should be given a second chance.
And really, I'm prepared for people to express negative opinions. ... I just need to be, in
those moments, polite, respectful and, if possible, remove myself from the situation.”
She has received support from church members, sentencing reform advocates and
even the prosecutor who convicted her of murder. They've all argued that Louisell has
matured during her decades as an inmate and is ready to be released.
Louisell detailed the accomplishments she has made in the 10 months since her last
parole hearing on Friday via a video feed from the Iowa Correctional Facility for Women
in Mitchellville. She has a leadership role with a group that prepares inmates for
release, and she has taken an increasing number of supervised trips outside the prison.
On Thursday, she rode on a DART bus to the downtown Des Moines headquarters and
learned how to read bus schedules and download the transit authority's smartphone
app, she said. She earned an instructional driver's permit during a trip to an Iowa
Department of Transportation licensing center.
"Ms. Louisell has done above and beyond all that has been requested of her in the last
few years, and certainly the years before that," her attorney, Gordon Allen, told the
parole board. "She's ready to move on."
Louisell and Allen spent three years in litigation, which ultimately led a district court
judge to set aside her original life-without-parole sentence and open the door for her to
one day leave prison.
Her bid for a new sentence went before the Iowa Supreme Court, and the ruling set
significant precedent for how Iowa judges can sentence young people convicted of firstdegree murder.
Louisell's transition to a work-release facility will not be immediate. There is a waiting list
at the Ames facility, parole board chairman John Hodges said.
Louisell had a promising future when she graduated from high school in Michigan at age
16 and accepted a full scholarship to Iowa State University, where she planned to study
politics. But she drank heavily and began suffering academically. On Dec. 6, 1987, she
stabbed and killed Stilwell, 40, in his Ames home.
Louisell met the older man after taking a job modeling at a local art institute where
Stilwell took classes. Stilwell, who was handicapped and needed canes to walk, offered
to pay the struggling college student for private modeling sessions at his home.
At her trial, Louisell testified that he cornered her with a knife and threatened to rape her
one night after she decided to quit posing privately for him. Louisell claimed that she
stabbed Stilwell in self-defense after struggling for control of a knife, but she also took
his wallet and tried to use his credit card at a mall before her arrest.
In a 1996 interview, Louisell said that abuse she suffered as a young child played a role
in her crime. She also hedged her past claim that Stilwell tried to rape her.
"It had a lot more to do with my mental state than it had to do with his actions," Louisell
told Des Moines Register reporter Thomas O'Donnell in the interview from prison.
"Because of what I came out of I took him to be threatening, you know, to be almost
trapping me in a way that was very familiar to me. I didn't have the sense to realize I
could just get up and walk out of this situation."
None of Stilwell's family members was at Friday's parole board hearing.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan wrote the majority opinion in the 2012 ruling
that deemed mandatory life-without-parole sentences unconstitutional for minors. She
wrote that life sentences should only be used for the "rare juvenile whose crime reflects
irreparable corruption."
In late January 2014, Story County District Court Judge James Ellefson sentenced
Louisell to 25 years in prison — a move that would have allowed her to be free within
days.
But the ruling was put on hold while the Iowa Supreme Court considered whether
Ellefson had the authority to fashion a sentence that would release Louisell while
bypassing the parole board. The seven justices unanimously overturned the lower
judge's sentence last year, ruling that decisions about the release for most young killers
should be left to the parole board.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, at least two other Iowa inmates sentenced as
teens to life without parole have been released.
Kristina Fetters, who was imprisoned for killing her great-aunt, was released to a Des
Moines hospice facility in 2013 after she was diagnosed with inoperable breast cancer.
On May 12, the parole board granted work release to Mitchell Ronek, who was
convicted of killing a man at a hotel in Maquoketa in 1984.
Louisell had a turbulent childhood growing up in a family scarred by divorce and her
mother's mental illness, according to a history of her case written in the 2015 Iowa
Supreme Court ruling. Louisell accidentally took LSD and experienced hallucinations
when she was only 3 years old after finding the drug in her home.
In Friday's interview with the board, Louisell said a major factor in her crime was letting
her life spiral out of control without asking for help. Prison psychologists and others
helping her prepare to leave prison have taught her to set aside her own independence,
she said.
"I’m a very independent person, but I know that not asking for help is a huge part of
what led me down the path to committing my crime,” she said. “If I have any problems,
they get dealt with at the first opportunity.”
Louisell is active in Women at the Well, a prison ministry at Mitchellville coordinated
through the United Methodist Church. Finding and becoming active in a church would
be one of her first priorities upon leaving prison, she said.
Louisell and Allen asked the parole board to consider granting a full parole Friday,
under the condition that she move into the Butterfly Freedom House, a faith-based
transitional home in Ames. But, Hodges and other board members each said they
preferred a more gradual release.
Louisell will be eligible for full parole at the recommendation of her parole supervisor.

NC prison system to focus on getting inmates ready for re-entry
By David Guice (Opinion)
North Carolina’s prison and juvenile justice system has had many recent notable
accomplishments. Our juvenile crime rate has decreased for six consecutive years while
the number of juveniles housed in youth development and juvenile detention centers
also decreased significantly. Offenders under the age of 18 who were adjudicated and
sentenced to prison as adults are no longer placed in solitary confinement. Instead, we
have implemented a program that takes into account the developmental needs of this
particular age group.
Within the state prison system, the number of offenders in solitary confinement has
been reduced from more than 5,300 to about 2,500. We’ve developed an incentivebased system aimed at changing offenders’ behaviors, developing their skills and
education, and ultimately increasing the likelihood of successful re-entry into our
communities. We are in the process of implementing that system at a number of
prisons, with longer-term plans to apply these interventions across the entire system.
As prisons have become de facto mental health hospitals, the need for better
management and treatment of offenders with mental illness necessarily has gained
strong focus. The department has trained approximately 4,510 staff members within
adult corrections and most direct-care juvenile justice employees in crisis intervention
methods.
Additionally, an eight-hour mental health awareness training program has been
developed and will be provided to all prisons employees. Therapeutic Diversion Units
for offenders with mental illness have been developed. These units, which will decrease
the need for placement in secure housing, will use individually tailored treatment plans
to assist offenders with coping and social skills development, emotional regulation and
medication management.
Training of all adult community corrections and juvenile court counseling staff in Mental
Health First Aid and placement of probation officers at Confinement in Response to
Violation sites, as well as at selected prisons, also serve the offender and the
community upon the offender’s re-entry into the community.
To enable our criminal justice system to provide the most age-appropriate services to
our youthful offenders, North Carolina needs to raise the juvenile age to 18. I have
taken all administrative steps available to me to establish age-appropriate programming
for our juveniles in the prison system, but, to complete this work, the General Assembly
must act to remove juveniles from our jails and prisons.
I believe that North Carolina’s prisons must transform from institutions built just for
housing inmates to facilities that better address those factors that drive an individual to
commit crimes. Our prison system is currently undertaking this comprehensive
remissioning initiative, aimed primarily at helping offenders make the changes
necessary to become law-abiding, contributing members of the community.
This process will include identifying the most appropriate mission for each of the state’s
56 prisons. Each prison’s mission will be based on the distribution of needs across the
population of approximately 37,000 inmates, the location and capacity of each facility,
staffing and the most effective use of resources.
A key component in this remissioning effort will be establishing re-entry facilities, the
portal through which incarcerated individuals will pass to prepare for transition back into
society. Simply put, without appropriate attention to and resources wisely invested in
our facilities and in our communities for offender re-entry, our best efforts toward North
Carolina’s nationally recognized criminal justice reform, whether that be through the
Justice Reinvestment Act in Adult Corrections or Juvenile Justice’s progressive strategic
plan, will be for naught.
The vast majority of offenders in our prisons will be returning to our communities. That
fact alone makes it incumbent upon those who work within the state’s criminal justice
system to encourage each individual for whom we have care and custody to engage in
a process of personal growth and self-improvement, and to support the individual’s
efforts to leave prison a changed person with hope for a better, more pro-social future.
Numerous additional efforts supporting the longer-term goals of the remissioning
initiative are underway. We are proud of our progress and remain dedicated to full
implementation of the larger remissioning agenda. These gains could not have been
made without significant effort, redirection of resources and our administration’s vision
regarding a new approach to offender management. With ongoing support, to include
increased funding and staffing, continued beneficial results can be expected for the
people of North Carolina.

Georgia set to execute sixth inmate this year
By Kate Brumback
ATLANTA (AP) — An execution scheduled for Thursday would be the sixth in Georgia
this year — the most executions carried out by the state in a calendar year since the
death penalty was reinstated four decades ago.
John Wayne Conner, 60, is scheduled to die by injection of pentobarbital at the state
prison in Jackson. He was convicted of beating friend to death 34 years ago during an
argument after a night of drinking and marijuana use.
Georgia has executed five people in a calendar year twice — last year and in 1987 —
since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976. Conner would be the sixth in Georgia
this year and would also be the ninth inmate put to death by the state since Sept. 30,
the most in a 12-month period since the death penalty was reinstated. The state's
previous record for a 12-month period was set when seven inmates were put to death
between October 2001 and August 2002.
Only five states have carried out death sentences this year for a total of 14. Aside from
the five already put to death in Georgia, six inmates have been executed in Texas and
one each in Alabama, Florida and Missouri.
Conner spent the evening of January 9, 1982, drinking and smoking at a party with his
girlfriend and other friends, including J.T. White. They then returned to the home
Conner shared with his girlfriend in Milan, about 150 miles southeast of Atlanta.
Conner's girlfriend went to bed, and he and White left the house on foot with a nearly
empty bottle of bourbon and went in search of more alcohol. They awakened another
friend around 1:30 a.m. to ask for a ride into town to get more whiskey. The friend could
tell they'd been drinking and refused, according to court documents.
Conner told police he and White were walking down the road when White told Conner
he wanted to sleep with his girlfriend. That led to a fight, during which Conner told police
he hit White with the bottle and beat him with a stick, the documents say.
Conner then returned home, woke his girlfriend and said he'd had a fight with White and
thought he was dead, court documents say. Conner left a note for his mother saying
they had to leave because "something happened to me."
The couple was later found hiding in a hay barn. White's body, with a badly beaten face,
was found in a drainage ditch.
Conner's lawyers asked a court to halt his execution and to allow a jury to determine
whether he is intellectually disabled, and thus ineligible for execution. They contended
that his trial lawyer did little investigation into his background or mental health history
and presented no such evidence at trial or sentencing.
His lawyers also said they presented evidence in federal court proves Conner is
intellectually disabled.
State lawyers contended that a federal judge has already found that Conner was not
intellectually disabled and that the issues now being raised have already been
addressed or could have been presented previously.
Butts County Superior Court Judge William Fears rejected the requests from Conner's
attorneys and declined to stop the execution.

Walnut Grove prison loss ‘devastating’
Uncertainty hangs in the air of Walnut Grove, a community bracing itself for the loss of
its largest employer this fall. The state’s decision to close the privately run Walnut Grove
prison, which under federal oversight since 2012 for its conditions, will leave the tiny
town facing a precipitous drop in revenue as many residents look for work.
“We were getting our good reputation back, and this has just been devastating,” Mayor
Brian Gomillion said.
Citing budget cuts and a declining number of inmates, the Mississippi Department of
Corrections announced it would close the Walnut Grove Correctional Facility in
September and transfer its 900 inmates to state-run prisons. The closure will mean
about 200 fewer jobs in a town with a population that hovers around 500, and loss of
revenue that will lead to furloughs and pay cuts for city employees.
“There are so many people that drive in from surrounding counties, and these people
have rented houses or bought houses in Walnut Grove,” Gomillion said. “People have
worked over there since it opened (in 2001) and since it’s gone through these
management changes. If all they’ve been is in the correction business and the nearest
prison is an hour or even two hours away, that’s not practical at the salaries they make,
and they have to move their families.”
Not every prison employee lives in Walnut Grove, but they have an impact on local
businesses during their commutes in and out of town.
“If you don’t have people in town, you’re not going to sell them something to eat at
lunch,” Bank of Walnut Grove President Ray Britt said. “You’re not going to sell them
gasoline when they’re on their way home or you’re not going to have people come to
the door.”
The revenue loss will force the town’s 12 employees to begin a furlough once a week
and police to take a $2-per-hour pay cut.
Kashia Zollicoffer, owner of Urban Country Kitchen, expects the biggest impact to her
business to be during furlough days, when city employees off work won’t come in for
lunch. But her main concern is the impact to the town as a whole and the families who
will be affected.
“There will be a change,” Zollicoffer said. “A lot of people hear ‘Walnut Grove’ and think
of the prison.”
At Walnut Grove Medical Clinic, Dr. James Lock’s patients who work at the prison will
lose their health insurance unless they can purchase it independently or find other work.
“I’ve seen them a number of years, and they are surely concerned,” he said. “I think
some of them may be in denial. They think it’s not going to leave. I’m not a government
official, but I think maybe Mississippi people should support them from the state level.”
The state pays Management and Training Corp. $14.6 million per year to operate the
prison, which is one of four facilities the company runs in Mississippi. While building the
private prisons, the state racked up $195 million in debt.
The Walnut Grove prison was presented to the community as an opportunity for jobs
after the departure of several manufacturing plants. A shirt manufacturing and a glove
maker closed several years ago and moved their operations overseas. It was touted as
"recession proof." The city annexed the land where the prison was built in 1999 and
later expanded.
But the prison’s dismal conditions, with rampant violence, drug smuggling, inmate
abuse and denial of basic services, led to a lawsuit that eventually placed the facility
under federal oversight. Although MDOC argued last year in court that the prison had
made significant progress and it no longer needed oversight, a federal judge disagreed,
and the consent decree remained in place.
About a year and a half ago, MDOC reduced Walnut Grove’s inmate population, and
about 100 prison employees were laid off, Gomillion said.
“We had already been impacted by MDOC cuts,” he said.
The prison is the backbone of the town’s budget, which will lose $180,000 per year that
it received from MTC in lieu of ad valorem taxes, as well as utility payments.
“We had a new well drilled exclusively for the prison, a water tank built for the prison,
gas infrastructure built to the facility that the town doesn’t need otherwise, sewer
projects built for the facility,” Gomillion said. “These are all things we’ve got to maintain
despite there being no revenue from this facility.”
Much of the funds the town received from the prison went toward Walnut Grove’s police
force, which responds to issues at the prison.
“Until this company came in and got things settled down, police officers had to spend a
lot of time at the facility,” Gomillion said. “It wasn’t like we were just given that money.
We were earning it.”
Walnut Grove’s situation is not unique, as states’ budgetary limitations and fewer
incarcerations have forced prison closures across the country. Six states shut down or
considered closing 20 prisons in 2013, according to The Sentencing Project’s most
recent study on the topic.
“Our hope is that there will be some way, shape, form or fashion that that facility will be
used for something that will create some jobs,” Britt said. “What that’s going to be, I
don’t think anyone has any idea … but it would be awfully difficult to see a facility that is
that nice just sit there and … rust down.”

Inmates take lethal injection drug challenge to Mississippi Supreme Court
By Jeff Amy
JACKSON- Two Mississippi death row inmates have filed fresh challenges to the state’s
lethal injection procedures with the Mississippi Supreme Court.
The move came after the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals told them a state court
should determine whether Mississippi was breaking state law by using a new drug.
Richard Jordan and Gerald Loden filed their appeals Wednesday, saying the court
should rule illegal Mississippi’s plan to use midazolam as a sedative because it’s not the
kind of drug called for by state law.
Jordan, now 70, was convicted of kidnapping and killing Edwina Marta in Harrison
County on Jan. 13, 1976.
Rachael Ring, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Jim Hood, said his office is
reviewing the appeals.
The court actions are part of a series of continuing legal skirmishes nationwide over
lethal injection drugs.
In August, U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate had issued a preliminary injunction
blocking Mississippi from putting anyone to death. The appeals court overruled Wingate
in February, but Wingate’s injunction remained in place until Tuesday, when the appeals
court published its ruling. Since then, Hood’s office has been free to ask the state
Supreme Court to set execution dates for inmates who have exhausted their other
appeals. Hood hasn’t yet done so.
Jordan’s attorney, Jim Craig, predicted state Supreme Court justices wouldn’t approve
execution dates while challenges to midazolam were pending. He said Hood has been
ducking the issue since 2014.
“All AG Hood has done is file motions and briefs to evade a court hearing where we can
prove that the Mississippi Department of Corrections’ procedure will torture prisoners in
the death chamber,” Craig said. “If he really thinks we can’t prove our case, General
Hood needs to come out from his hiding place and meet us in court.”
Mississippi law requires a three-drug process, specifying an “ultra-short-acting
barbiturate” followed by a paralyzing agent and a drug that stops an inmate’s heart. But
Mississippi and other states have increasingly struggled to obtain such drugs since
2010, as manufacturers refuse to sell them for executions.
“Not only is midazolam not an ultra short-acting barbiturate, it is not a barbiturate at all,”
say both appeals. Lawyers for both men argue that the Mississippi Department of
Corrections can’t unilaterally change a punishment that the Legislature wrote into law
without usurping lawmakers’ power.
Midazolam doesn’t render someone unconscious as quickly as a barbiturate. Craig
argues midazolam leaves an inmate at risk of severe pain during execution, violating
the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution’s bar on cruel and unusual punishment.
The U.S. Supreme Court in 2015 upheld as constitutional Oklahoma’s use of
midazolam.
Jordan’s appeal raises an additional argument, arguing that his 40-year-long wait
between a death sentence and execution equals cruel and unusual punishment.
Jordan had agreed to serve life without parole after successfully challenging his
sentence three times, but got the state Supreme Court to rule that Jordan could have
only been sentenced to death or life with possibility of parole. A prosecutor then won a
death penalty for the fourth time in a 1998 sentencing trial.
“These extraordinary circumstances make his execution excessive and disproportionate
to the crime and thus in violation of both the federal and state constitutions,” the appeal
states.
Loden pleaded guilty in 2001 to kidnapping, raping and murdering Leesa Marie Gray in
Itawamba County.

A moment of crisis, opportunity for Louisiana’s criminal justice system
By Robert Mann (Opinion)
Would it be wise for Louisiana to stick a petty thief in prison for five years for swiping
$31 of candy? Of course not. That would be counterproductive and a ridiculous waste of
scarce state funds.
Therefore, it may not surprise you that Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon
Cannizzaro's office has proposed just such a sentence for a New Orleans candy bar
bandit. As Cannizaro's questionable judgment suggests, Louisiana's criminal justice
system is broken.
More on the candy theft later, but it is heartening that cases like it have brought
Republicans and Democrats in Louisiana's Legislature together on one issue, at least.
Most agree that our criminal laws are an outdated mess and are responsible for
Louisiana's shameful distinction as the state with the country's highest incarceration rate
— 108 percent higher (in 2014) than the national average.
Our prisons are overcrowded and understaffed. The number of state inmates ballooned
by 35 percent over the past two decades. Far too many (more than half in 2014) sit in
poorly staffed parish jails, many of them lacking services that might qualify as true
"corrections."
Years of budget cuts to the state's Department of Corrections have damaged an already
threadbare institution, arguably one of the most important in state government. (Do we
really want the people who guard violent offenders to make do with less?)
The situation is worse in local prisons. The powerful Louisiana Sheriff's Association is
addicted to the $24.39 a day its members receive for housing state inmates (that may
drop by $2 after budget cuts imposed by lawmakers this summer). Those cheap rates
mean that many state inmates in local jails receive nothing like the medical,
psychological and rehabilitation services offered at the state prison at Angola or other
state-run institutions.
None of this makes us safer, by the way. Louisiana has the nation's third-highest overall
crime rate and among the nation's highest violent crime rates.
All signs point to a moment of crisis in corrections. Thankfully, it could also be a moment
of opportunity. That's the approach that Gov. John Bel Edwards and lawmakers in both
parties appear to be taking.
In the recent regular legislative session, Edwards signed legislation to stop the state
from sending 17-year-old offenders into adult prisons, diverting them, instead, to the
juvenile justice system. And last year, lawmakers created the bipartisan Louisiana
Justice Reinvestment Task Force, which will soon propose sentencing and corrections
policy reforms for consideration during the 2017 legislative session.
Those reforms ought to include making probation, not prison, the default sentence for
more nonviolent offenses and reducing mandatory minimum sentences that leave
judges with little or no discretion.
"You will never convince me that the people of Louisiana are innately more sinister or
criminal than elsewhere. So what are we doing?" Edwards told a recent meeting of the
task force. "If we had the highest incarceration rates and the lowest crime rates and the
lowest recidivism rates, we could probably argue that it was worthwhile. There is no
argument to make for what we're doing in Louisiana today."
Edwards is correct — and lawmakers and policymakers across the political spectrum
know this. "One of the engines of this reform movement is the realization that traditional
incarceration as a uniform policy has failed," scholar Jamison Beuerman wrote last
month on the website of the conservative, New Orleans-based Pelican Institute. "This is
in part because imprisonment is not the best avenue of dealing with every offender that
enters the system."
And that brings us back to $31 in candy. After 35-year-old Jacobia Grimes' conviction
for attempting to steal the candy bars from a New Orleans Dollar General store, the
state judge hearing his case gave him one year in prison. Cannizzaro's office, however,
later invoked a habitual offender law that might require the judge to give Grimes at least
20 years to life.
Criminal District Court Judge Franz Zibilich has said he believes such a sentence is
excessive. Even Cannizzaro's office says it hopes Zibilich uses his discretion to order a
five-year sentence for Grimes, who has been convicted eight times before, mostly for
theft.
Five years is too much for a picayune crime, repeat offender or not. Grimes, whose
lawyers say has a drug addiction and suffers from kleptomania, seems exactly the
person who should not be stuffed into a state prison along with violent offenders. At
about $17,000 a year per inmate, it would cost Louisiana $85,000 over five years to
imprison Grimes, which far exceeds the cost of the psychiatric help he appears to
desperately need.
Grimes' crime and Cannizzaro's response to it demonstrate why Edwards and
legislators must set Louisiana on a different path. Put the violent criminals behind bars,
for sure, but let's stop spending millions each year warehousing petty criminals and drug
addicts who belong in treatment, not in prison.

Department of Corrections website uses visual data on incarceration
By Katie Moore
TOPEKA — Visual data provided to the public by the Kansas Department of Corrections
is intended to increase transparency and shed light on incarceration trends across the
state.
In January, the agency launched iDashboard, which can be found at
www.doc.ks.gov/dashboards/annual-report-dashboards.
The special website features a dropdown menu of 18 categories including statistics on
length of sentences, recidivism and facility capacities.
Additionally, there are breakdowns by gender and race and information on juvenile
incarceration. For instance, in 2006, the female inmate population was 651. The
projected number for 2016 is 898 — an increase of 28 percent. For males in 2006, there
were 8,301 inmates. In 2016, the projected number is 9,125 — an increase of 10
percent.
The website also tracks data related to the Prison Rape Elimination Act. Substantiated
staff-on-offender cases have decreased from 15 incidents in 2013 to three in 2015,
while substantiated offender-on-offender cases have increased from 4 in 2013 to 25 in
2015.
“KDOC plans to continue using the dashboard service as a method to report data, while
looking at trends in our operations,” said communications director Adam Pfannenstiel.
“The more we are able to analyze our data, the better we can serve crime victims and
citizens of Kansas.”
The majority of the information is collected from agency staff who maintain and report
data on a regular basis. It then is compiled in an annual report. The report for 2015 was
59 pages. The visual charts and graphs make iDashboard a more user-friendly format,
Pfannenstiel said.
Many facilities haven’t begun using the website yet; however, the department is working
to increase the reporting items.
Once that happens, Pfannenstiel said he expects KDOC staff will use the site more.
Through time, the department will be able to identify trends and areas of improvement,
he said.

South Carolina inmates to receive telehealth care
By Derrek Asberry
The Medical University of South Carolina and the state Department of Corrections are
teaming up to provide telehealth services to inmates in four South Carolina prisons.
Using the service, a doctor in Charleston can consult with the care team at a prison any
time of day via video conferencing equipment. Then, the doctor can remotely prescribe
medications, treatments and procedures that prison officials can implement for the
inmate.
Bryan Stirling, director of the South Carolina Department of Corrections, said the
partnership will enhance public safety by limiting offender transports. It also will save
taxpayer money, he said in a press His agency oversees 20,620 offenders throughout
the state with many facilities located in remote areas.
The telehealth partnership with MUSC will initially include the following four prisons:
Kirkland Reception and Evaluation in Columbia, Evans Correctional Institution in
Bennettsville, Turbeville Correctional Institution in Turbeville, and Lee Correctional
Institution in Bishopville.
Other states, including Texas, Florida, Colorado and Mississippi, already use telehealth
in prisons.
The Pew Charitable Trusts concluded in a 2014 report that telehealth services can
reduce health care spending on inmates.
South Carolina spent $2,933 per inmate in 2011, according to the group. The national
average is $6,047.
MUSC telehealth medical director James McElligott said the technology is poised to
improve the health of everyone in the state, including prisoners.
“The technologies, when wisely applied, can transcend the significant challenges in
providing care to this population and have tremendous potential for cost savings to our
state,” McElligott said in a prepared statement.

Mentions Corrections Secretary Wetzel
Philadelphia Inquirer (07/10/2016)
http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20160711_After_decades_behind_bars__juvenile_life
rs_are_released_-_but_to_what_.html
For 34 years, home for Daniel Peters has been a prison cell. He has been locked up
since age 17, with the promise of life in prison. But on June 24, he was released to a
halfway house in Philadelphia's Callowhill neighborhood.
It was terrifying, but at least he knew just what to expect. He had been given a tour of
the facility - using virtual reality goggles.
Peters - the first to be released of 295 inmates from Philadelphia sentenced as juveniles
to life without parole under a law the Supreme Court has since found unconstitutional is a test case in an unprecedented reentry challenge for the city.
So, officials and nonprofit groups are piloting unprecedented measures as they wrestle
with how to support reintegration - releasing inmates from prison in their 50s, 60s or
70s, with no savings, varying amounts of family support, and no experience navigating
the world as adults.
"We're trying to figure out the best path that we can put someone who was a child when
they came to us," Pennsylvania Corrections Secretary John Wetzel said. "We're trying
to figure out what reentry looks like if we want them to be successful."
The needs are significant. Of 507 lifers statewide, 95 are on the prisons' active mentalhealth roster; half have a history of mental-health problems. There are 21 sex offenders
among them.
And 318 have been locked up longer than 20 years. The oldest, Joseph Ligon, is 78 and
has been incarcerated since 1956, giving him the miserable distinction of being the
world's longest-serving juvenile lifer. Like all other juvenile lifers, he has not had the
chance to amass retirement savings, pay into Social Security, or earn a pension.
All the inmates will have a chance at new sentences following the Supreme Court's
January decision in Montgomery v. Louisiana. Peters received a commutation from
Gov. Wolf. Others, such as Henry Smolarski and Tyrone Jones, both of Philadelphia,

He tries to coach them in the transition from a world where time moved slowly to one
where the pace is frenzied, and from a place with no choices to one where the simplest
transaction - buying toothpaste, ordering off a menu - involves a dozen decisions.
"But the biggest things are jobs, housing, family relationships, medical stuff, negotiating
the bureaucracy," Gotzler said. And, most of all, "Where's money going to come from?"
After all, short-term supports will help people in their first months out, but this could be a
long-term, expensive burden for the city.
"It's going to require resources," said M. Kay Harris, associate professor emerita of
criminal justice at Temple University.
"When we don't do such a good job with veterans of connecting them to [services],
getting the political wherewithal to devote resources to people coming out of prison,
particularly those who've been convicted of first- or second-degree murder, is going to
be a political challenge," she said.
Often, the burden of caring for elderly ex-offenders falls on nonprofits, public hospitals,
and extended relatives, she said. "That has fiscal consequences. It's just that we don't
see the costs as clearly as if we plan up front to see that these needs are met."
Speaking at a conference on reentry run by Eastern University last week, Robert
Hammond, the Department of Corrections' juvenile lifer project manager, said prison
officials are organizing peer-support groups and lining up referrals. They're also
examining inmates' visitor logs, and bringing those with few visits into family
reunification programs to reconnect with relatives.
"We're still looking for the financial means," Hammond said. "We can't take care of 507
juvenile lifers for the rest of their lives."
The Philadelphia Reentry Coalition, a collaboration between city and nonprofit agencies,
is organizing to fill gaps in support. Joanna Visser Adjoian and Lauren Fine of the
nonprofit Youth Sentencing & Reentry Project are cochairing a committee on juvenile
lifers. They said advocates have volunteered to work on issues ranging from food-stamp
applications to protection from identity theft and fraud.
But they said they were waiting to find out what the Department of Corrections will and
won't provide.
For Peters, the transition has been emotional.
He was 17 when he accompanied his 24-year-old brother, Louis, to the home of a 73year-old woman, planning to rob her. According to news accounts, Peters came
downstairs to find his brother beating the homeowner, who later died.
Jackie Rupert, director of the Community Correction Center 2 in Philadelphia, where
Peters will stay for a year, said she meets with inmates before they are released and
matches them with a peer mentor who is staying at the center. She also arranges any
necessary drug or mental-health treatment programs.
By his third day out of prison, Peters had a phone number, but still did not know how to
send or receive a text message. He is still with the same girlfriend he was dating at age
17; they may live together someday.
But Kathleen Brown, a University of Pennsylvania nursing professor, who, with her
students, had helped him with his commutation application, said Peters was taking it
slowly.
"He's totally overwhelmed right now. He's been in there since he was very young," she
said. Now, "He's out there and he's like, 'What is all this?' "
Gotzler said that the advice he gives lifers is simple: "Prepare to work. Take things
slowly, one step at a time. And don't rush to catch up, because you can't."

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (07/11/2016)

Federal program offers college education to inmates in Pennsylvania
By Colt Shaw
HARRISBURG — With the help of a federal effort to curb recidivism, up to 115
Pennsylvania prisoners will become college students this fall.
Villanova University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Bloomsburg University and
Lehigh Carbon Community College will enroll students from six state and federal
prisons in Pennsylvania.
Classes will take place in-facility, online and over video conference calls, Secretary of
Corrections John Wetzel said in an interview.
Tyrone Werts, who graduated with the help of a Pell grant from Villanova in 1992 while
locked up, now works with Temple University’s Inside Out program, which runs classes
at correctional facilities where university students learn alongside inmates. He said
education for those behind bars can have transformative powers.
“It opens, expands people’s minds and gives them the confidence that they can do
something else with their lives,” Mr. Werts said. “I don’t know where my life would be.
Education put my life on a different trajectory.”
Last summer, the Obama administration announced that Pell grants — worth nearly
$6,000 a year per individual — would be given to universities to educate inmates
scheduled for release within five years.
The participating inmates, who will receive instruction from 67 colleges nationwide, will
be able to take college classes at their current facility, with the purpose of gaining a
certificate or degree.
The federal government will spend $30 million to enact the Second Chance Pell Pilot
Program in 27states.
Pell grants are financial aid given to low-income undergraduate students. The grants do
not need to be paid back, unlike loans. The amount given depends on need and cost of
the institution a student plans to attend, but the maximum amount given for the 2016-17
school year is $5,815.
A measure in President Bill Clinton’s 1994 crime bill forbade giving Pell grants to
inmates, leaving educational opportunities for prisoners to be footed by private funding.
But another federal law gives the president the authority to create pilot programs, with
federal money, for experimentation and research purposes.
In Pennsylvania, the program to provide college classes to 115 of the state’s 48,000
inmates will focus on seeing if “we can develop a body of research that says it works,”
Mr. Wetzel said.
“If it works, that would be reason to expand it,” he said.
Some two-thirds of Pennsylvania inmates who are released will end up back behind
bars within three years, according to a 2013 report on recidivism by the Department of
Corrections. That number is on par with nationwide numbers, according to data
published by the federal Bureau for Justice Statistics.
In a 2013 study looking at prisoners released over three years, those involved in
educational programs behind bars had a 43 percent recidivism rate.
Participating Pennsylvania inmates will not take a full-time course load, department
spokeswoman Amy Worden said. To be eligible, inmates will need to have a high
school diploma or GED and apply for financial aid as any other student would, she said.
Gov. Tom Wolf voiced support for the program, saying in a statement that having a
college degree or certificate would give inmates a greater chance to become productive
members of society.
Villanova has run a similar program — the same one that helped Mr. Werts gain his
bachelor’s degree — since the 1970s at Graterford State Correctional Facility. Providing
educational opportunities at prisons is a way the university “practices its mission” as an
Augustinian Catholic school “to provide for the public good,” spokeswoman Kate
Meloney said.
Villanova has a waiting list of professors hoping to participate. She said the Pell grants
will allow the program to expand “to be able to serve more students.”
Last fall, an internally funded program brought Bloomsburg students to a state
correctional facility in Muncy to share a class with female inmates on corrections and
rehabilitation. Positive feedback from students, inmates and the administration
encouraged the university to participate in the Pell pilot program this year, said Jim
Brown, dean of the university’s College of Liberal Arts.

Numbers may lie when setting bail
Editorial Board
About 60 percent of Philadelphia's prison inmates are awaiting trial, but in trying to
reduce that population, officials should be careful not to put too much emphasis on an
algorithm designed to help judges determine which defendants should be granted bail.
The algorithm, based on the past behavior of previous inmates with similar
characteristics, supposedly can calculate the likelihood that a person will commit a
crime if he is released before trial. The judge can then use that calculation in deciding
whether to set bail.
Research suggests algorithms can be more accurate than judges in predicting behavior.
Experts say the tool helps avoid unnecessarily harsh punishments for low- and mediumrisk offenders. But lawyers and others have challenged the moral and legal validity of
such algorithms.
One glaring problem with some is their reliance on variables more strongly related to a
person's race or income than their criminal background, including a defendant's zip
code, education level, and leisure activities. Defendants who took IQ and reading tests
during previous prison stays might see those results used against them.
Some states use algorithms more effectively post-trial. The Pennsylvania prison system
uses similar assessment tools when an inmate first arrives to establish custody levels
and recommend housing, work detail, treatment, and program assignments, and later to
help determine the conditions of release.
Philadelphia's Adult Probation and Parole Department uses an assessment tool
developed by University of Pennsylvania criminologist Richard Berk, who is leading the
effort to develop an algorithm for pretrial decisions. Asked about the possibility that an
algorithm could lead to discriminatory treatment of black and poor defendants, Berk
said, "People who stress that point forget about the victims. How many deaths are you
willing to trade for something that's race-neutral?"
Other criminologists largely agree with Berk, saying their job is only to create the most
accurate predictions of criminal behavior. They also argue that algorithms are more
transparent and consistent than judges, who, as humans, have biases.
Perhaps, but using an algorithm to determine a defendant's status prior to trial may be
more detrimental than using a risk-assessment tool after a conviction. Studies show
people detained before trial are more likely to be convicted and more likely to receive
longer sentences.
Where you live and how much you make isn't always predictive of criminal behavior.
There are plenty of defendants from less-than-perfect neighborhoods who live up to the
trust put in them when given the chance. Good judges, most of the time, can tell who
deserves that chance, with or without an algorithm to help them.

Right-of-way granted at SCI-Cresson site
Road is key to developing power plant
Gov. Tom Wolf on Thursday signed a bill granting a 3.3 acre right-of-way to develop a
public road to the former Cresson state prison site in Cresson Township.
Officials said the road is key to eventually developing a portion of the grounds into a
natural gas power plant.
State and local officials announced in May that a 93-acre plot was being transferred to
the Cambria County Redevelopment Authority so the group could pursue a deal with a
private developer that has not yet been named.
The remaining 328 acres, which includes the former prison's buildings, was appraised at
$730,000 and put up for sale.
"The goal is to create jobs, business development and economic energy and make the
venue a vibrant business location," Sen John Wozniak, D-Cambria, said in a press
release.
Wozniak had sponsored the bill, which the state House and Senate unanimously
approved last month.

Arrest warrant issued for inmate who escaped Mercer County corrections facility
Pennsylvania State Police in Mercer County are searching for an inmate who escaped
Friday from a corrections facility in Sharon.
Cody Kuntz, 23, escaped about 4:30 p.m. from the Sharon Community Corrections
Center on West State Street. Police said he ran out the kitchen door with a large
garbage bag containing his clothes.
A Community Corrections Monitor witnessed the escape, according to police. Staff
heard an alarm go off before seeing Kuntz on surveillance running across a parking lot
and down a hill toward North Irvine Avenue.
Kuntz was serving a sentence for a felony drug charge. He is described as having blue
eyes, brown hair, being 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 160 pounds, with a stocky
build. He was last seen wearing a black T-shirt, black shorts and black Nike tennis
shoes.
A warrant has been issued for Kuntz’s arrest. Anyone with information on his
whereabouts is asked to call the Pennsylvania State Police Mercer Barracks, or Mercer
County 911

‘Time in the Box; Young Rikers inmates still in isolation
By Michael Winerip and Michael Schwirtz
At the time, it was a momentous announcement: New York City officials said they would
eliminate solitary confinement at Rikers Island for all inmates under age 22.
The declaration, made in January 2015, put the city’s long-troubled Correction
Department in the vanguard of national jail reform efforts.
But a year and a half later, the administration of Mayor Bill de Blasio is still struggling to
pull it off. The city missed another deadline last week, and it is now requesting a second
six-month extension. City officials had originally promised to end the use of the
punishment for young adults by January 2016.
Most of the 78 young adults who were in isolation at the beginning of the year have
been moved out. But while the city has now eliminated segregation for the 16- to 18year-olds, there are some older, more difficult inmates remaining who cause such
serious disciplinary problems, according to the correction commissioner, Joseph Ponte,
that at least for now segregation is still needed.
As solitary confinement has been emptied, the violence in the jail for young adults has
significantly increased, Mr. Ponte wrote in a letter to the city jail watchdog agency last
week. The correction officers’ union has long argued that ending the use of segregation
would endanger guards and lead to greater violence.
Eliminating solitary confinement is an expensive, labor-intensive proposition. To replace
it, the city has created enhanced supervision units, with two officers and one counselor
for every 12 inmates. Not long ago, a typical cellblock was overseen by one guard for
every 50 inmates.
A few weeks ago, The New York Times interviewed several of the nine remaining
inmates under age 22 still in isolation at the part of the jail complex known as 3 South
Segregation Unit. A correction officer and a member of the commissioner’s press office
were present for the interviews; the inmates were shackled to a wall.
“My first week I was in the box. I broke a guy’s jaw. He was big, too, so, you know, that
boosted my ego.”
Since arriving at Rikers in March 2015, Mr. Delgado says he has spent about 40 days in
solitary. At times, he said, life in the box could be a relief from the violence of the regular
population.
“I was fighting the whole week,” he said. “So, I’m like, damn, finally a break. I used to
wake up, and breakfast is like 4, 5 in the morning. So you got to fight for your cereal, so
I’m like I didn’t even brush my teeth. My heart is pumping, and I got to get ready. I don’t
know what’s about to happen but it’s about to go down. I was exhausted.”
That feeling of safety lasted for only a few hours, he said. Other inmates yelled
constantly, and he missed privileges like commissary and three daily phone calls.
Mr. Delgado has been in and out of Rikers since he was 16, mostly short stints for drugs
and other minor crimes. This time he is potentially facing a decades-long sentence for
the murder of a 21-year-old man in Queens.
“I think about it — damn this could be the rest of my life,” he said. “That’s why I got to
have a radio or something to keep my mind off that, talk to someone.”
He looks forward to his girlfriend’s visits. “She keeps me at peace. She reminds me of
what I got in the town.”
Because he is constantly in trouble, he and his girlfriend are separated by a glass
partition during visits. He has not kissed her since September.
“I forgot how her lips taste.”
Kelvin Busgith, 21, charged with attempted murder
Mr. Busgith has done several stretches in isolation during his six stays at Rikers, the
longest for six months in 2014, when he was 18. He said he had no choice but to fight
so he would not be seen as weak. “I don’t want to do time in the box, but eventually,
due to the circumstances, I had to.”
The entire time he was being interviewed, an inmate nearby in Cell 11 screamed
profanities. Mr. Busgith said he did not hear it anymore. “He do that all the time,” he
said. “He’s just killing time.”
Mr. Busgith tries to speed up time. “You take your medication so you just sleep all day,”
he said. “You talk with your peers, your colleagues. I’ve been locked up a long time. Lot
of colleagues. You’ve got to be crazy to be in a cell 23 hours a day. Some people get
locked up for shelter and food. I’m not one of those type people. I got a life outside.”
He has an older brother, Michael, serving time upstate at Southport Correctional
Facility, in Pine City, N.Y., a maximum-security prison where all of the inmates are held
in solitary. “He in the box right now, too,” Mr. Busgith said. “He’s got to do a year and a
half.”
Though Mr. Busgith has never been upstate, he says his brother has told him it is better
doing time there than at Rikers.
Mr. Busgith said that at upstate prisons, “you get longer visits” and more recreation
time. “You get to do better, you get commissaries better. Everything’s better upstate. It’s
open, you in the open. Fresh air. You don’t breathe none of this Rikers Island stuff.”
Tayshawn Waddy, 21, charged with murder
“If we had the same privileges as general population, I wouldn’t mind staying here,” Mr.
Waddy said. “It’s quiet, you get to stay to yourself. You’re safe. Got your own space,
your own bed, your own toilet. You get to have your ‘me’ time. Get in population, you’ve
got to worry about different personalities and everything else that comes with jail.”
Mr. Waddy had been in solitary confinement for about 30 days. This is his first stint at
Rikers. He has been there for two and a half years awaiting trial and spends a lot of his
days reading books, “like gangster stuff,” and working out: “Fifty push-ups, then 50
situps, 50 dips, 50 jumping jacks. Relieves stress.”
When he looks through the small window of his cell, he says, he can just barely see a
television that hangs on a support column in the center of the cellblock, though there is
no sound.
He said he did not care about the closing of the solitary unit. “I’m just trying to go home,”
he said. “I don’t pay attention to what’s going on.”
Ariel Martinez, 21, charged with attempted assault
Though Mr. Martinez has been in this country only three years, he is on his fourth stint
at Rikers. He fled to the United States from Honduras, he said, after a group of men
murdered his father. “I saw when they killed him,” Mr. Martinez said. “I was there.”
To break the solitude, inmates lean against the steel cell doors — “getting up on the
gate,” they call it — and shout back and forth to one another. They yell through the
vents. During their one hour outside, spent alone in a bare recreation pen, they talk
through the chain link fencing.
Mr. Martinez speaks only Spanish, isolating him more than most. In solitary, inmates are
at the mercy of guards for their most basic needs — meals, a shower, a sick call. They
scream and bang their cell doors to get a guard’s attention. “I can’t talk to people;
someone has to translate,” Mr. Martinez said in Spanish. “It’s stressful. Sometimes the
guards shout at you. It’s hard to use the phone, get things.”
He thinks it is good that the city is ending solitary confinement for inmates his age. “It
gives people a second chance,” he said. “Someone gets brought here, they might not
understand it.”
To pass time, he reads if he has a book or magazine; National Geographic is a favorite.
And he thinks about his case. “I’m facing an offer of three and a half years,” he said,
“and I have to choose it or not.”

Private prison company CCA to face trial in violence lawsuit
By Rebecca Boone
BOISE - A federal judge says the Corrections Corporation of America will stand trial in
December in a civil rights lawsuit over understaffing and violence at an Idaho prison.
U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge made the ruling Thursday, scheduling a four-day jury
trial for Dec. 13 in Boise.
Eight inmates at the Idaho Correctional Center sued the Nashville, Tennessee-based
private prison company in 2012, contending that poor management and chronic
understaffing led to an attack in which they were jumped, stabbed and beaten by a
prison gang. The inmates also contend that CCA covered up the understaffing in
monthly reports to the state of Idaho, a practice they called a "ghost worker scheme"
designed to boost profits despite putting inmates at risk. Two of the inmates were later
dropped from the case, but six remain as plaintiffs.
CCA has vigorously disputed the claims.
"The safety and security of our facilities is our top priority," CCA spokesman Steven
Owen wrote in an email to the AP on Thursday. "The Idaho Correctional Center was
appropriately staffed at the time of this incident, and we are confident we will prevail on
this claim at trial."
CCA operated the Idaho Correctional Center for more than a decade under a contract
with the Idaho Department of Correction. The company faced frequent lawsuits from
inmates about violence at the facility, however, along with occasional criticism from
state corrections officials. In 2013, an Associated Press investigation revealed CCA was
falsifying reports in order to hide understaffing in violation of both a court order and the
company's $29 million annual contract with the state.
In 2014, Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter ordered IDOC to take over the prison.
In their lawsuit, the inmates contended that CCA was working with a few powerful prison
gangs to control the facility south of Boise and cut back on staffing. They pointed at
CCA's practice of grouping members of the same gang together in housing units as
evidence of their allegations, and they said that the housing practices and vacant guard
posts led to a high rate of inmate-on-inmate violence.
But in the order issued Thursday, the federal judge said the gang housing claim didn't
pass muster.
"That is, while there is evidence to suggest both the prior and instant attack were
possible due to pervasive understaffing, there is nothing to suggest either attack was
caused by the policy of clustering gang members together," Lodge wrote.
The judge also noted that CCA had been held in contempt of court in a separate lawsuit
for failing to adequately staff the prison as required, and he said that could be used as
evidence when this lawsuit goes to trial.

Ohio jail population falling but overall incarceration rate rising
By Alan Johnson
The number of people in Ohio jails is dropping, but the steadily rising inmate population
of state prisons is more than enough to boost the state's overall incarceration rate.
The latest update by the Vera Institute of Justice Incarceration Trends Project showed
Ohio's jail population was 237.7 per 100,000 residents in 2014, well below the national
average of 326 per 100,000
However, the combined jail and prison incarceration rate was 913.8 per 100,000, largely
due to state prisons, now bulging with 50,847 inmates, fewer than 400 less than the alltime record.
Ohio's overall incarceration rate increased 3.2 percent from 2006 to 2014, the Vera
study said.
Jails are local facilities, typically run by counties, where people are held after being
arrested, pending trial, and for short sentences for relatively minor crimes. Prisons are
run by the state and federal government. Inmates there are generally serving much
longer sentences on felony charges.
Vera officials said that while prison populations are falling in many other states, overall
incarceration rates remain almost universally high. There are about 2.2 million
Americans behind bars.
The study also showed a dramatic disparity in incarceration rates for whites — far below
their percentage in the general population — and blacks, who are in jail and prison well
above their percentage in the population.
Ohio was one of 16 states in which jail and prison trends diverged from 2006 to 2014,
Vera said. Also, Ohio was one of just five states, including Arizona, Indiana,
Pennsylvania and Wyoming, in which a declining jail population slowed the overall
increase in incarceration. There were only four states, Florida, Idaho, Minnesota and
Oregon, which showed a net decline in the incarceration rate.
Christian Henrichson, the head of the Vera Center project, said, “While these data alone
cannot explain why trends diverge, it’s now clear that they often do. Policymakers and
the public must look at both prison and jail populations to measure the success of
reform efforts.”
Ohio's overall incarceration rate, 913.8 per 100,000 was the second lowest of all
surrounding states. West Virginia was 832.2, Michigan 915.7, Pennsylvania 1,009,
Kentucky 1026.4, and Indiana 1,039.8. Oklahoma had the highest incarceration rate in
the country, 1,540.6, while Minnesota had the lowest, 430.5.
The study provides detailed county data for Ohio, California, New York and
Pennsylvania.
Franklin County's jail incarceration rate was 239.7 per 100,000, compared to Hamilton's
324.6, Cuyahoga's 271.5, Montgomery's 237 and Lucas' 153.4.

Ohio’s prison hospice offers dignity to dying felons
By John Caniglia
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The dying man, struggling to breathe, attempted to sit up in his
bed and talk with a relative. They were in a large, airy room with quilts, cabinets and
brightly painted walls.
Nurses stopped by regularly. Three women from a church choir softly sang hymns to
him on a June morning. A minister was in a nearby hallway.
The scene plays out daily in hospices across Ohio, except for a key detail: the guard at
the door.
The patient was in Ohio's prison hospice, a small care center that has become a part of
a national movement to offer compassion and dignity to felons in their final days. The
trend in Ohio, however, results in a paradox for the prison system: As the state
struggles to obtain drugs to execute death-row inmates, it has worked to become a
leader in its hospice and long-term care for inmates.
"People ask me, 'Why do you care about these people? They raped. They killed people.
Why help them?' " said Rosalinda Lemaster, a nursing supervisor who works in the
hospice unit. "I believe that it is the end of their lives and that they should die with
someone there for them, someone caring for them. That's how I was raised. I believe
that no one should ever have to die alone.''
Hospice care is an outgrowth of a spike in older inmates here and across the country. In
2010, older inmates made up one in eight inmates in the state. Today, the figure is
close to one in six.
Law professors say Ohio judges are doling out longer prison sentences, including more
life sentences without parole. Some authorities also see an increase in older people
committing crimes. Others say the Ohio Parole Board has kept too many geriatric
inmates behind bars, despite the fact that those prisoners never again will commit
another crime.
Many likely will end up at the Franklin Medical Center, the Ohio prison system's
hospital. In mid June, it had 232 inmates in need of medical care, 50 of whom were
pregnant women.
On the medical center's second floor, 43 men lived in a place that was far more of a
nursing home than a prison. They required long-term care.
Some inmates were spoon-fed pureed meals. Many spent the day unresponsive in bed.
A few struggled to relate to others. One inmate moaned loudly, unable to speak.
At the far end of the hallway, two rooms were set aside for hospice care. One has four
beds, the other two. Each room has quilts, freshly painted walls and pictures.
"It's not just the right thing to do, but it sends a message to the other inmates on the
floor, 'We will treat you with dignity. We won't just put you here and leave you,' '' said the
Rev. Leonard Hawley, the prison's chaplain.
In one of the rooms, a killer lay in a corner bed, struggling to speak.
He is 73, and he is serving a sentence of 15 years to life for killing a woman. Prison
officials, citing his health and privacy concerns, would not release his name.
He is ashen and exhausted when three women from First Community Church in
Columbus stand at the foot of his bed and sing church hymns. He perked up a bit when
a relative stopped by and spoke with him. A prison guard sat several feet away,
watching but not listening.
Felicia Nnadi, a hospice nurse, tried to make the dying man comfortable. She talked
gently to him. When he needed something, she walked quietly to get it. Nnadi paid
attention to the slightest details, the man's pain, his pillows and his ability to speak with
his relative.
But she refused to consider what he did to get sent to prison.
"I don't want to know,'' she said. "To take care of people at the end of their lives is
important. It's a calling.''
At 5:50 p.m. July 1, the killer who Nnadi had cared for died.
For victims, the passing of a predator often brings a small sense of relief, said Teri
LaJeunesse, the past president of the Ohio Victim Witness Association and the victims'
advocate for the Greene County prosecutor's office.
"The death of an inmate means victims won't have to worry about some things, such as
parole hearings,'' LaJeunesse said. "But it doesn't help the emotional pain that was
caused. You can't right a wrong.''
Those who work in prison hospice realize that pain, advocates say, and they also
understand that they cannot change that. They simply work to comfort their patients.
Linda Redford is the director of the Geriatric Education Center at the University of
Kansas Medical Center. She has focused much of her work in the care of older inmates
and those in hospice.
"Some families will say, '(The inmates) need to suffer. They made us suffer,' '' Redford
said. "But I think a lot of people realize that prison is the punishment and that inmates
do not need to suffer more.''
Molly Helt has volunteered at Ohio's prison hospice for three years and worked to
reduce suffering.
"I'm not a fan of organized religion, and I'm not here to save anyone's soul,'' Helt said.
"I'm here to make sure that people who are about to pass away have someone with
them. That's so important. People should die with dignity.''
Scott Abram agreed.
Abram, 49, is in the middle of serving 18 years to life for a slaying in Perry County. He is
an inmate who volunteers as an aide at the hospice and in the long-term care unit.
He and other inmates write letters, read scripture and make phone calls for the dying
prisoners. He also helps those who struggle to take care of themselves. He said he
even helps an elderly inmate brush his three teeth.
Abram also has sat next to several inmates and watched as they took their final breaths.
"We're often the only visitors they have,'' Abram said. "You sit down with them, and you
make sure that there is someone with them at all times. You never want to leave them.''

WEATHERFORD, Texas — A Parker County, Texas, jailer who had an apparent heart
attack may very well be alive thanks to inmates who put themselves at risk to help him.
It happened on June 23 in a holding cell in the basement of the District Courts Building
in Weatherford.
At least eight prisoners were behind a locked door in a small room off to one side. Their
lone guard sat outside and had been joking with them when he slumped over
unconscious.
“He just fell over," said inmate Nick Kelton. "Looked like an act. Could have died right
there.”
Kelton and other inmates began shouting for help. Then they managed to bust out of
their holding room, even though they knew it was dangerous.
We were worried they’re going to come with guns drawn on us," Kelton said Thursday.
The guard had no pulse. Inmates screamed and banged on doors. They raised such a
ruckus that deputies upstairs in court came running.
“They thought it was a fight,” said inmate Floyd Smith. “They thought we were taking
over.”
Parker County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ryan Speegle said he didn’t know what to expect when he
got downstairs.
“He had keys," Speegle said. "Had a gun. It could have been an extremely bad
situation."
Speegle rushed in first to see inmates in their gray and white stripes handcuffed and
shackled standing over an unresponsive guard. One prisoner reached for the radio,
which was near the gun.
“We were going to call, 'Mayday,' or something,'” Kelton said.
Sgt. Speegle corralled the inmates, still not completely understanding what was
happening, back into the cell. Deputies started CPR, and the paramedics arrived and
shocked the guard, who regained a pulse. Inmates watched life returning.
“He’s a good man,” Kelton shrugged.
Deputies began CPR on the fallen jailer until paramedics Capt. Mark Arnett believes
prisoners certainly helped the guard, and likely saved him.
“He could have been there 15 minutes before any other staff walked in and found him,”
Arnett said.
Officials declined to identify the guard, who works for a private contractor. He didn't
want to discuss the incident. He's expected to return to work next week.
Kelton and the other inmates went to court expecting to do time, not to give it.
“I watched him die twice,” he said. “It never crossed my mind not to help whether he’s
got a gun or a badge. If he falls down, I’m gonna help him.”
“Seems natural to me,” Smith added.
Ironically, deputies said Smith is in jail for assault on a public servant.
One more twist: The room that inmates broke out of to raise the alarm has now been
reinforced.

Vera Institute (07/11/2016)
http://www.vera.org/news/new-report-analyzes-racial-disparities-new-orleanssmarijuana-policing
Racial disparity in marijuana policing in New Orleans
New Orleans, LA—The Vera Institute of Justice today released a report that examines
racial disparities in marijuana arrests in New Orleans, outlines the impact of reforms the
city has put in place to date, and identifies remaining issues in marijuana policing.
Although people of different races self-report using marijuana at similar rates nationally,
black people are disproportionately arrested for marijuana offenses in New Orleans.
While some states have legalized marijuana in recent years, the consequences of
marijuana possession in Louisiana remain severe—under state law, repeated
convictions are punishable by multi-year prison sentences.
Racial Disparity in Marijuana Policing in New Orleans analyzes arrest data from 2010
through 2015. It examines arrests for marijuana possession with intent to distribute—a
felony offense—and simple possession with no intent to distribute (a misdemeanor for
first- and second-time offenses, and a felony for subsequent offenses). Vera found that
85 percent of those arrested for all simple marijuana possession offenses are black,
even though black people make up only 60 percent of the city’s population. It also found
that black residents make up 94 percent of people arrested for felony simple
possession.
“Racial disparity in policing—regardless of the causes—mean that black members of
our community too often face harsh and destabilizing criminal justice system
involvement,” said Jon Wool, director of Vera’s New Orleans office and co-author of the
report. “As we enact policy changes to move away from our over-use of jail as a
response to minor crimes, it’s vital that we understand the racial impact of police and
detention practices. This report is an important step towards mapping the full scope of
adverse consequences of marijuana policing. We hope it will help guide state and local
policymakers toward further improvements, and inspire other jurisdictions to examine
their own practices.”
As part of efforts to reduce the city’s jail size in recent years, the New Orleans Police
Department now typically responds to marijuana possession offenses by issuing
summonses—which allow a person to return to court without immediately being taken
into custody—rather than using custodial arrests, which lead to jail time. This shift,
which took place in 2011, has helped reduce the impact of criminal justice involvement
for marijuana possession. Although summonses have been issued to black people and
others at virtually the same rate for eligible offenses, black people are still more likely to
have a police encounter make them eligible for arrest or summons. A deeper
understanding of the adverse consequences of marijuana policing, overall, is needed in
order to fully address its disparate impact on black individuals, families, and
communities.
The report found that in New Orleans:
Racial disparities are greater in marijuana arrests than in arrests overall.
While self-reported use of marijuana is similar across races and black residents are 60
percent of the city, 85 percent of those arrested for all simple marijuana possession
offenses are black and 94 percent of people arrested for felony simple possession are
black.
Although there are persistent racial disparities in the frequency of police responses to
marijuana, officers used summonses instead of arrests at the same rates across races.
From 2012 to 2015, police issued summonses for black and white people alike in
approximately 70 percent of instances of first-offense marijuana possession.
People arrested for felony marijuana possession spend an average of 14 days in jail
pretrial at an average cost of more than $1,400 per person.
Of the people arrested and charged by a police officer with felony marijuana possession
in 2014 and 2015, , 35 percent did not end up being charged by the district attorney with
felony possession—they either had their cases refused or were subsequently charged
with only misdemeanor possession.
In order to decrease the disparate harm inflicted on black residents, city policymakers
should uncover and mitigate the root causes of racial disparity in all police practices.

Re: Request for Information
Clinton does not. If a weapon is required, we would not be sending them. We send out low security inmates that qualify
to be in the community (i.e. work release eligible criteria/pre-release) but they do not have employment. Often they are
supervised by a civilian at the work site whom we train on how to manage a low security inmate worker (i.e. Salvation
Army or county work site).

------Original Message-----Hi,
It is a bit worn, but the saying: 'expect the unexpected', is a good foundation for supervisory
inspection. Generally, my supervisors look for compliance with jail rules, cleanliness of the
housing units, cleanliness of the cells, repair items, odors, any type of damage to the facility
(outside of normal wear and tear) and to listen to the housing officers concerns. Occasionally,
they will address an inmate issue directly but typically, the housing unit officer is the 'go to' person
for questions and requests (we also have a kiosk system). Also, what I do is ask the housing unit
officer if I can enter the housing unit (I want the inmates to see and hear that type of control by
the housing officer). As for the rounds or tours, at least every thirty minutes but our goal is every
15 minutes (This may not apply to special housing issues: suicidal etc.).In addition, we require the
housing unit officer to get from behind the duty station and walk around and observe the inmates,
behaviors etc. This actually works well, as the inmates now know, we are up and about.

51:35:; Report . .. ..
On July 11, 2016,1was aSSIgned to the B2 housmg unit. Lieutenant FIsher had forwarded me an
. email that was from Counselor Neff regarding her seeing Inmate Miller talking to counselor Neff about
inmates getting commissary from inmate Ammerman. Inmate Miller did tell Counselor Neff something
about one of the inmates involved was inmate Green. I was observing and noticed that inmate
Ammerman and Inmate Miller were around each other most of the night till after med pass, after
Inmate Ammerman then started to be around Inmate Goodlunas; not once did I see inmate
. Ammerman with or talk to inmate Green. I then emailed Counselor Neff about my thoughts of Inmate
Miller just being jealous because herself and inmate Ammerman are not popular among the block and
she was jealous that what seems like her only friend was getting other friends. I was then in the 82
housing unit on July 12, 2016, and I was approached by other inmates telling me that inmates
Goodlunas and Ammerman are a ?thing? and that inmates Green and Goodlunas are using inmate
Ammerman for both her commissary and her money. They also told me that inmate Goodlunas thinks
that the ?thing? with inmate Ammerman is a joke and is just ?playing? her. I then talked to Counselor
. McGhee about the situation to keep everyone informed. While I was with Counselor McGhee we did
5 check both inmate Goodlunas? and Green?s commissary accounts and found that inmate Ammerman?s
mom had in fact, put money on inmate Goodlunas' books but not inmate Green?s. Later that night, I
was doing a unit check and inmate Ammerman stopped me and told me about talking to Counselor
. Neff and a phone call with her mother. She then went on to tell me that she would like Inmate Miller
out of her cell because she is ?calmer? when she is not with inmate Miller. She went on to say that
inmate Miller talked to Counselor Neff about her and inmates Goodlunas and Green. She admitted
1 buying commissary for Goodlunas and giving her some items that she did not like that she had
ordered. I then instructed inmate Ammerman to stop buying other people commissary and let them
worry about themselves and have her focus on her. I then made Lieutenant Allen aware of the
situation.

a battery which he was missing from his commissary. This Officer asked him to give back the AA
battery he had received in his commissary due to the correct battery being given to him. He was
observed walking over to Inmate Lemin talking to him and then Inmate Lemin and him were observed
walking back to cell 6. A couple minutes later, Inmate Bertres approached the desk and gave me a AA
battery The AA battery In which was given to this Officer already had bite marks on it and looked used.

I Report -. -
On the above date and apprOXImate time I went out to the intake area to get ready for 0400
. headcount. When I got out to intake I was told by C. Shawver and C. 0. Warner that Detainee
Moser, Anthony was coughing up real bad and wheezing. Nurse Daughenbaugh was also out in intake
?j and could hear the detainee wheezing and coughing and informed me that it was not normal and that
he needed to seek medical attention. Nurse Daughenbaugh informed me that the coughing and
wheezing from the detainee sounded like it could be possible T.B. or the walking pneumonia.
1 I then contacted PSP Rockview, which is who brought the detainee to the facility, and informed them
that the detainee they brought to the facility needed to be taken to the hospital to be evaluated and
that there was nothing we could do for him since he was not committed to the facility. Deputy
Warden Gordon was also noti?ed of the issue. PSP Rockview got back in touch with me and said that
they would have a trooper sent to the facility to pick up the detainee. The trooper arrived at about
0435 and transported the detainee to MNMC. End of report.

On the above date and approximate time, PSP Rockview brought In Detainee Floyd Corey for
processing and to be arraigned. When the detainee was asked by Co Warner if had any serious
2 medical problems or took and life sustaining medications, the detainee informed CO Warner that he
takes medications for congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, blood clots, and numerous other
health issues.
At that time CO Warner called me over the radio to come to CBC. When I arrived at CBC CO Warner
informed me of the detainee?s health issues. I then asked the detainee if he felt ok and if his health
issues were becoming an issue for him at this current time. The detainee told me that he did not take
. any of his medications for his health issues today and that he did not feel right. I asked him if he was
having any pains from his congestive heart failure and he told me that he was, and he also told me
that he felt his blood pressure was really high.
After the information I got from the detainee, I told the PSP Rockview Trooper Grenci that I wasn?t
going to accept the detainee until he was taken to MNMC and medically cleared to be at the facility.
Trooper Grenci then took the detainee from the facility to MNMC after being processed without any
issues. End _of report

Fred Hockenberry
Found an interesting few comments in mail from Fred Hockenberry to Kristen Shirk today. The officer flagged it for me
because Hockenberry felt the need to address us as a staff directly in the letter mailed to Shirk, and we wanted to make
sure there were no threats.
He goes on a nice rant about his personal very negative thought about us and how we run the facility with two graphic
sexual suggestions on what we should do with ourselves.
I wanted to share the generalities with you in the event he comes back in to us, since he’s been a maintenance trustee a
number of times. Based on his expressed views, I don’t think he’ll be appropriate for any work assignment with that
level of trust in the future.

Police dog was in hot car for two hours before death
By Lizzy Hardison
A fact‐finding investigation has been started into the death of a drug‐detecting dog that died after being mistakenly left
in a hot car for two and a half hours by its handler, the state Department of Corrections has confirmed.
The 2‐year‐old yellow lab named Totti was left in the vehicle during a training exercise at the state prison at Rockview,
near Bellefonte, said Amy Worden, corrections spokeswoman. Totti was a member of the state Department of
Corrections Drug Interdictions Unit.
Worden said that the dog's handler, Sgt. Chad Holland, had stored training items in a vehicle at the end of a training
exercise at 12:15 p.m and didn't realize until 2:44 p.m. that the dog was locked in the car. When they removed the dog
from the vehicle, the dog handlers and other Drug Interdiction Unit staff tried to cool Totti with a water hose and ice.
Totti was conscious when he was transported to a nearby veterinary clinic at 2:58 p.m. By 4 p.m., his body temperature
had stabilized but his creatine levels and heart rate remained high, Worden said. He died at 7:30 p.m.
"Everyone involved was incredibly and understandably upset and concerned for the dog," said the statement issued by
the department. "Unfortunately the dog did not survive. This has been very devastating for everyone involved.
Worden confirmed that Holland is the dog's handler and that Capt. Scott Vangorder is head of the Drug Interdiction Unit
K‐9 Academy.

‘I’m moving on,’ little boy says as mom, step‐dad go to prison for keeping 11 kids in filth
By Matt Miller
4
One of Takeya Fluellen's 11 children told a Dauphin County judge Tuesday that he doesn't care if he is ever returned to
the care of his mom, who had him living in an incredibly filthy, trash‐strewn home in Steelton.
The little boy, who will enter fifth grade this year, spoke to Judge Deborah E. Curcillo via a letter read by Deputy District
Attorney Katie Adam during the sentencing hearing for Takeya Fluellen and her husband, Tyree.
"She did some things wrong because she has to go to jail," the boy, who is in foster care with his siblings, wrote. He told
how much he likes foster care and how "I want to stay here" instead of returning to his mother and step‐dad.
I'm just moving on because they are leaving soon," the child wrote.
The Fluellens each were sentenced by Curcillo to 1 to 2 years in state prison, plus 8 years of probation under agreements
they struck when they pleaded guilty to multiple child endangerment charges last month. Takeya Fluellen, 34, also was
sentenced to an additional 2 years of probation in a welfare fraud case.
Public Defender Mary Klatt told the judge that Takeya Fluellen "realized that the conditions in the house were bad," but
that the family was in financial turmoil. They only lived in the home periodically, Klatt said, and were preparing to move
to a new, clean residence.
"She was so desperate to keep the children for herself that she didn't turn to Children and Youth Services for help," Klatt
said
The couple was arrested after Steelton police and children and youth workers responded to reports of an odor at their
home. The Fluellens and the children, ages 2 to 14, fled when officials arrived.
Investigators said the home was inundated with trash and feces and was swarming with maggots and flies. There was no
furniture and the toilet wasn't working and was packed with human waste. Officials said six of the kids had a bacterial
infections from ingesting feces.
Klatt said Takeya Fluellen takes responsibility for those conditions and has undergone several programs while in the
county prison to make her a better mother. "Ultimately, she wants what's best for her children, even if that means she
never gets the back," Klatt said.
"I want you to know I love my children," Takeya Fluellen told the judge. "I want you to know I was not trying to harm
them. It was the selfishness of not wanting to lose them."
Wendy Grella, the attorney for Tyree Fluellen, the 29‐year‐old biological father of five of the children, said her client had
a tumultuous childhood with an alcoholic mother. He saw his stepfather kill his baby sister by stepping on her neck,
Grella said.
"He never wanted the children to remain in such dirty circumstances," she said of the Steelton home. "The family was in
financial ruin...He told me from Day One that he's ashamed of what occurred."
Tyree Fluellen told Curcillo he was trying to improve the family's conditions when he was arrested. "I want what's best
for my kids," he said. "I always tried to do the best I can."
The judge was openly skeptical, noting the couple are repeat offenders regarding the care of their kids. "For both of
them, this is not the first time these type of conditions have occurred," Curcillo said.

House News Release (07/12/2016)
State Rep. Kevin Boyle
D‐Philadelphia/Montgomery
Boyle’s prisoner transport vehicle bill signed by governor
HARRISBURG – A bill giving emergency vehicle designation to Philadelphia Prison System prisoner transport units
sponsored by state Rep. Kevin Boyle, D‐Phila./Montco., was signed into law by Governor Wolf on Friday, July 8.
"My bill, H.B. 898, is important because this designation allows prisoner transport units to operate using flashing lights
when transferring prisoners," Boyle said. "There is no doubt this will reduce risks associated with prisoner transfers."
Due to the vast State Road prison complex, prisoners are transported across Northeast Philadelphia every day. All of
these transfers can potentially lead to problems if there are traffic issues or one of the prisoner transport units gets into
an accident.
Boyle explained that prison transports are subject to high‐volume traffic, which poses a risk when moving prisoners from
location to location. Also, the complex infrastructure of the City of Philadelphia makes it necessary for prisoner transport
units to have a clear path to facilities.
5
The bill also allows high ranking fire department officials, such as a fire chief or assistant in chief, to use flashing lights
when responding to emergencies in both fire department and privately‐owned vehicles.
"I am thrilled that this bill is finally a law because it will definitely make Philadelphia’s streets safer," Boyle said.

Inmate dies at Graterford
An inmate died at Graterford state prison in Montgomery County on Tuesday morning, the prison's superintendent
reported.
William Edinger, 38, of Philadelphia was found unresponsive in his cell at the State Correctional Institution at Graterford
shortly after 9:30 a.m.
He was taken to the prison infirmary, where he was pronounced dead at 10 a.m., said Wendy Shaylor, a prison
spokeswoman.
State police will investigate the death, as is policy. The Montgomery County Coroner's Office will determine Edinger's
official cause of death, Shaylor said.
Edinger was committed on Feb. 27, 2008, to serve a 3‐ to 8‐year sentence for a burglary in Philadelphia. He returned to
Graterford several times on parole violations, most recently on April 14, Shaylor said.

Two FCI‐McKean inmates sentenced
ERIE — Two men who were charged with new allegations while they were inmates at the Federal Correctional Institution
at McKean in Lafayette Township have been sentenced in federal court.
Both men — Jonathan Rodriguez Melendez, 26, and Dontrace Marcus Blaine, 29 — entered guilty pleas on the new
allegations prior to sentencing, a press release from U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton indicated.
According to Hickton, Melendez was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge David S. Cercone to one month in jail on his
conviction of a charge of escape after conviction. The sentence will run consecutive to his current sentence.
On Oct. 10, 2015, Melendez escaped from the Federal Prison Camp at FCI‐McKean while incarcerated for a conviction of
conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute and to distribution of heroin, Hickton stated. He received the heroin‐
related sentence from the Western District of New York.
Meanwhile, Blaine will serve 10 months in jail — consecutive to his current sentence — after being convicted of a charge
of possession of contraband, Hickton reported. He was also sentenced before Cercone.
According to Hickton, on July 1, 2015, Blaine possessed a weapon in prison.
Officers at FCI‐McKean investigated both cases, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Christian A. Trabold prosecuted them on
behalf of the government.

York County prison seeks more part‐time officers
By David Weissman
York County Prison employees have worked more overtime hours than expected this year, and the warden is hoping to
hire more part‐time corrections officers to compensate.
Warden Mary Sabol asked the county commissioners during Monday morning's salary board meeting to consider adding
12 part‐time positions.
The 12 positions used to exist, Sabol said, but they have been cut for budgetary reasons over time since 2011.
The prison is currently allotted 386 full‐time officers and 45 part‐time officers, and Sabol said she believes the additional
part‐time employees will reduce the need for full‐time officers to work overtime.
Sabol pointed to the snowstorm in January, when travel was restricted, and a small fire at a work release site as major
reasons for the increase in overtime hours worked this year.
The prison has typically burned through approximately 50 percent of its budget by this time of the year, but Sabol said
they are currently "significantly above" that percentage.
If the department goes over its expected budget, Sabol said, it would just affect the prison's general fund.
Sabol added that the additional part‐time employees would have minimal impact on the budget because the positions
don't include benefits and have lower wages than full‐time employees.
Part‐time corrections officers work approximately 16 hours per week but are required to complete the same training as
full‐time officers, she said.
Sabol said the prison has a large number of applications to sort through, and she's hoping to begin training a class of 21
officers in the fall. That class would include the additional 12 part‐time officers and nine others to fill current vacancies.
The commissioners are expected to vote on Sabol's request Wednesday morning at their weekly meeting.

Fight over kosher prison meals drags on
By Dara Kam
TALLAHASSEE ‐ Florida has no plans to stop offering kosher meals to prisoners, but corrections officials don't want a
federal judge telling them they have to keep serving up the special diet, which consists largely of sardines and peanut
butter.
A federal appeals court will hear arguments Tuesday in a drawn‐out challenge over the kosher meals. The state has
spent nearly $500,000 in the lawsuit, filed by the U.S. Department of Justice nearly four years ago, but legal wrangling
over the religious meals has lasted more than a decade.
U.S. District Judge Patricia Seitz last year ordered the Florida Department of Corrections to offer kosher meals and
barred the agency from removing inmates from the religious dietary plan if prisoners buy non‐kosher food from
canteens or don't pick up the meals more than 10 percent of the time.
While they don't intend to do away with the kosher diet they've been forced to offer, corrections officials contend that a
federal law ‐‐‐ the "Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act" of 2000 ‐‐‐ law allows them to stop offering the
meal plan if it gets too expensive.
Lawyers for the state also have argued that the cost of the program could pose a security threat and that the agency
should be able to drop it if it chooses.
7
The agency has a large budget deficit, needs to spend money on capital improvements and has growing medical costs,
Florida Assistant Attorney General Lisa Kuhlman Tietig wrote in a March court filing.
"Just because the Department (of Corrections) has made a policy decision at this time to provide a kosher diet in the
face of these compelling budgetary issues does not mean that the department's interest in containing costs is not
compelling, nor does it mean that RLUIPA (the federal law) mandates the department making such a decision in the face
of all of the serious and compelling budgetary issues facing the department," Tietig wrote.
But Justice Department lawyers argued that the cost of the program doesn't let the state off the hook.
"In other words, 'prison officials cannot simply utter the magic words "security and costs" and as a result receive
unlimited deference from (courts) charged with resolving these disputes,' " U.S. Assistant Attorney General Vanita
Gupta, head of the civil rights division, and other Justice Department lawyers wrote on Feb. 24, quoting a separate case
dealing with inmates and religious practices.
In August, Seitz permanently banned the department from using a "zero‐tolerance" policy that removed inmates from
the kosher‐meal plan if they were caught eating regular meals or purchasing non‐kosher food from the canteens,
something corrections officials have already abandoned. And her order also bars prison officials from kicking inmates off
the kosher plan if the prisoners miss 10 percent or more of their meals in a month, another policy the department says it
has discontinued.
Keeping Seitz's permanent injunction in place "will ensure that prisoners with a sincere religious belief in keeping kosher
will not, in the future, have to choose between not eating and violating their faith," the Justice Department's lawyers
wrote.
The fight over kosher meals in Florida prisons, playing out Tuesday in Miami before a three‐judge panel of the 11th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals, has dragged on for more than a decade.
The department started offering kosher meals in 2004 to Jewish prisoners at 13 facilities and transferred inmates who
were eligible for the meals to those institutions. The agency expanded the program to inmates of all faiths in 2006 but
halted it the following year before reinstating it as a pilot project at a single prison in 2010, serving fewer than 20
prisoners.
A year after the Justice Department filed the lawsuit in 2012, the state again began serving kosher meals and promised
to have the meals available to all inmates by last July.
Two years ago, prison officials switched to all‐cold meals, consisting largely of peanut butter and sardines, served twice a
day, prompting some inmates to complain that the unappetizing diet was aimed at discouraging prisoners from signing
up for the kosher plan.
Corrections officials had argued that the cost of the kosher meals, an option not only for Jewish prisoners but for Muslim
and Seventh‐Day Adventists whose religions also proscribe dietary restrictions, could cost the state up to $12 million a
year because the food cost nearly twice the amount of regular grub.
About 9,000 of the state's 100,000 prisoners are receiving kosher meals, according to department spokeswoman
Michelle Glady. As of Monday, the state was spending $3.32 per inmate per day on kosher meals, according to
department spokeswoman Michelle Glady. As of Monday, the state was spending $3.32 per inmate per day on kosher
meals, compared to about $1.97 for the regular diet.
But Justice Department lawyers argued that the cost of the program is just a fraction of the corrections agency's nearly
$23 million food service budget, and an even smaller slice of its overall $2.3 billion budget.
About 1 percent of prisoners in other states and the federal Bureau of Prisons participate in religious meal programs,
while Florida's participation rate is more than 9 percent, according to court documents.
Lawyers who represented a Jewish prisoner who was denied a kosher diet questioned Florida's numbers.
"The issue here is that Florida is really the lone holdout among the major prison systems around the country that's really
trying to say that they should be able to, at any time, stop taking care of the religious needs of its prisoners. And that's
very dangerous," Becket Fund for Religious Liberty lawyer Daniel Blomberg said in a telephone interview Monday.
The Becket Fund represented inmate Bruce Rich, who dropped his case after Seitz gave corrections officials until mid‐
2015 to offer kosher meals to "all prisoners with a sincere religious basis for keeping kosher."
The Justice Department derided the state's $12 million estimated cost of the program as based on "a set of dubious
assumptions regarding participation and pickup rates and questionable allocation of costs to the RDP (Religious Dietary
Program) and savings to the mainline meal."
Florida's "worst‐case scenario" estimate is 10 times more than what other states actually pay for kosher meals,
according to court filings.
8
"At the same time they're providing (kosher meals) in a very unattractive, unappetizing way, but also claiming just
massive participation rates, extraordinarily high participation rates compared to anywhere else in the country,"
Blomberg said. "And they're claiming extremely high levels of expense, again compared to anywhere else in the country.
So it seems very suspect."
Providing the religious meals could reduce Florida's overall prison costs, Blomberg said, citing research showing that
allowing inmates to practice their religion can help reduce recidivism.
"Prisoners aren't popular, and making provisions for prisoners can be unpopular. But the reality is that prisoners are
human, and that denying their right to seek God strips away their human dignity," Blomberg said. "It goes to the issue of
human dignity. It goes to the issue of every individual to be able to seek God as their faith requires. And then it goes to
the significant benefits to society that are provided when you provide access to faith in prison."

Former felons across country fighting for voting rights
By Sara Weber
Of the 200,000 former felons in Virginia who were given the right to vote this past April through their governor's
executive order, only about 9,000 have registered, according to NPR.
Republican officials are suing the Democratic governor, Terry McAuliffe, for overreaching his powers, asserting that he
may only restore voting rights on a case‐by‐case basis.
The Virginia Supreme Court will hear the case on July 19.
"It doesn't do anybody any good to try to disenfranchise anybody and make it harder for them to reintegrate themselves
into society,” Anthony Puryear, who was recently released from prison, told NPR. “A lot of them need every freedom
they can get.”
McAuliffe, who said he will sign all 200,000 restoration cases by hand if the court rules against him, denied allegations
that he restored rights to help Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton earn more votes from the state.
Those suing McAuliffe say the process has resulted in numerous mistakes, including restored voting rights to offenders
still in prison. Aides for the governor told NPR there were a few errors, but that they were remedied and that it is still a
crime for anyone in prison, on probation or on parole to officially vote in an election.
Disenfranchisement laws, or the loss of ability to vote, vary state by state and reinstatement of voting rights to former
felons is becoming a topic of debate across the nation. Earlier this week, the Miami New Times reported that Florida has
laws that restrict former felons from voting, but not from donating to campaigns.
And the Iowa Supreme Court upheld a ban on felons voting this past June.
Former convicts are stepping up in states like Louisiana, where more than 70,000 felons recently filed a lawsuit
demanding their right to vote.
And, lawmakers in Delaware approved a bill in June allowing felons to vote before they’ve paid off all fines and
restitution. The decision comes three years after the state decided to waive a five‐year waiting period for all felons
looking to cast a ballot.

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch Will Probe Private Prisoner Transport Industry
By Eli Hager
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch told lawmakers Tuesday her office would investigate apparent lapses in federal
oversight of private prisoner transportation companies, the subject of a recent Marshall Project investigation that
revealed a pattern of deaths and abuses in the industry. Under questioning by Rep. Ted Deutch (D‐Fla.), Lynch told the
House Judiciary Committee that she was unfamiliar with the industry, which the Justice Department is tasked with
monitoring under a 2000 law that has been enforced only once. At a key moment in the questioning, Chairman Bob
9
Goodlatte (R‐Va.) interrupted to insist that Lynch “look into this in depth, and report back to the committee.”“We would
very much require that,” he added.
Also on Tuesday, Sen. Cory Booker (D‐N.J.) urged Lynch in a letter to probe possible abuses on for‐profit transportation
vans, which carry tens of thousands of people every year across millions of miles. “It is critical that the Justice
Department uncover whether abuse of prisoners and conditions of confinement violations by private prison transport
companies and their officials violated laws and regulations within the Department’s jurisdiction,” Booker wrote.
The Marshall Project story, published July 6 with The New York Times, was the result of a seven‐month investigation into
private transport companies used by 26 states and countless localities to extradite suspects and fugitives.A review of
thousands of court documents, federal records and local news articles and interviews with guards and executives
revealed a pattern of deaths, neglect, escapes and accidents in the industry. Four people have died since 2012 on vans
run by the largest company in the business, Prisoner Transportation Services.
Among them was Steven Galack, whose story Deutch recounted during the committee hearing. Galack was living in
Florida when he was arrested for failing to pay child support and placed on a private van for extradition to Ohio. He grew
agitated on the trip, and two prisoners said a guard on the van directed the other prisoners to beat him. Mr. Galack was
found dead in Tennessee. His cause of death was undetermined.
Deutch asked why a 2000 law intended to regulate the industry has been enforced by the Justice Department only once
in 16 years. “General Lynch,” he said, “I’d just ask what else can be done for us to focus on an issue that we were so
concerned about here in Congress 16 years ago that we passed legislation, but that legislation seemingly goes unnoticed
or certainly unenforced.”Lynch responded that all prisoners should be treated humanely and fairly and offered to review
the issue, which she said was new to her. At that point, Goodlatte interrupted. Reached later by phone, Deutch called
the chairman’s intervention pivotal. “The chairman going on record to ask that the Attorney General provide a report to
us — that elevates this issue into a priority for the House Judiciary Committee,” Deutch said. The committee hearing
focused primarily on the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.
Deutch’s office plans to send follow‐up questions to Lynch’s office, including examining the four deaths. Steven Galack’s
brother Robert said he was struck by news of the hearing.“Who would ever imagine something positive would come of
this?” he said. “For a guy who died penniless on a prisoner transport van to be mentioned before Congress, that is
almost vindication.”

Wellness Tip July 13, 2016
Having A Bad Day? Here Are 7 Things You Definitely Shouldn't Do
by Shannon Kaiser
We all have bad days, bad weeks, or even bad months—times it feels like we're trapped by circumstances.
It can be hard to find your way out of a bad mood.
Most advice will focus on what you should do to feel better. We know thinking positively and being
compassionate with ourselves can help. But no one really talks about what you shouldn’t do.
Recently, I experienced a funk that pulled me down hard. I tried to reach for my bag of happiness tricks,
things like “think good thoughts,” “do what you love,” “call a friend,” but none of it helped. So instead, I
focused on what I was doing that might be making things worse and stopped doing those things. Pretty
soon, my mood improved. So, if you're feeling down and those old standbys just aren't cutting it, start
thinking about what you might need to stop doing.
1. Feeling bad for feeling bad.
Trying to be happy all the time shouldn’t be our goal. It's impossible! The idea that we aren't supposed to
feel our full range of emotions often keeps us stuck. Instead of thinking you're in bad shape because
27
you're angry, sad, depressed, or frustrated, simply allow yourself to be present with your emotions and let
them move through you. In doing this, you can release them and make room for peace.
2. Focusing on the problem, not the solution.
It may feel good to share your troubles, but complaining over and over about the same issue not only
affects your friends’ well‐being—it can actually hurt you. Instead of complaining, just identify steps you
can take to pull yourself into a more balanced state.
3. Eating your feelings.
It may feel good for a moment, but as soon as you're done eating your comfort food, guilt and shame set
in. In a study, college‐age women who were concerned about their eating behaviors reported that their
moods were actually worse after bouts of disordered eating.
Next time you're tempted to reach for the mac and cheese or ice cream, remind yourself that this will
probably exacerbate your bad mood and opt for healthier foods. Choose snacks that make you feel
healthier from the inside out. My go‐to items are smoothies and kale chips.
4. Stewing in entitlement.
Everyone has bad days, but feeling like the world owes you something is an easy way to find yourself in a
bad mood. Instead of feeling like a victim, be grateful for what is working in your life. Appreciation can go
a long way.
5. Avoiding fresh air.
Getting outside will boost your mood instantly. Instead of hibernating indoors with Netflix, get out and
enjoy the outdoors. Sunlight is nature's antidepressant, after all.
6. Staying in your head.
When we're in a rough mood, we tend to focus on what isn’t going well. We replay negative situations and
outcomes. Instead of wallowing in self‐pity or overanalyzing past drama, start living. Do activities that
bring you joy: coloring, cooking, reading a good book, or doing yoga.
7. Not moving at all. Ever.
Even if it feels like the least appealing thing in the world, five minutes with an elevated heart rate will
boost your mood for hours thereafter. Take a new exercise class or find a buddy to take a walk/jog through
the park with you. Moving your body will help you feel more balanced, in control, and ready to bounce
back from a "blah" mood.

Wellness Tip July 14, 2016
Facts About Your Digestive System
Like most things related to our bodies, we only pay attention to our digestive system when it's giving us a
problem. Otherwise, we tend to overlook it and put all sorts of things into it without a second thought.
Although we learn about the process of digestion in high school, most of us had other things on our minds
back then. But knowing how your digestive system is supposed to work can help tremendously in terms of
overall digestive health ‐ knowledge which can help you take better care of your digestive system, more
quickly identify any possible digestive problems, and help you to communicate more effectively with your
doctor.
(1) The length of your entire digestive system is approximately 30 feet long.
Your digestive system is responsible for breaking down the foods you eat so that you can absorb vital
nutrients. Food is broken down mechanically ‐ through chewing, for example, and through the use of
enzymes ‐ into the form of molecules that can be absorbed by and moved through your blood. Your
digestive system is made up of the following organs:
Mouth
Esophagus
Stomach
Liver
Gallbladder
Biliary Tract
Small Intestine
5
Large Intestine
(2) Our mouths secrete approximately one liter of saliva a day.
Saliva production through our salivary glands is the first step in digestion. Saliva is predominantly made up
of water, but does contain other substances, and can be stimulated by just thinking about or smelling
food. Food breakdown begins in our mouths through the process of chewing, and through enzymes
present in saliva. Saliva both lubricates food for easy passage into the esophagus, and coats the food to
protect our teeth and the lining of our mouth and esophagus.
(3) It takes anywhere from two to five seconds for food to make its way down your esophagus into your
stomach.
After we've chewed our food, it's formed into something called a bolus. Swallowing is a complex
procedure in which the bolus is moved into the pharynx, the larynx (the organ connected to our windpipe)
is covered, and the esophagus opening is widened to accept the bolus. The bolus is then moved down
through the esophagus through coordinated muscle movements known as peristalsis.
The esophagus is bound on each end by a sphincter muscle, which is responsible for opening to allow the
bolus to pass through. Heartburn can occur when the lower sphincter fails to close completely, allowing
stomach acid to travel upward and irritate the tissue in the esophagus and throat.
(4) Your stomach produces hydrochloric acid (the same stuff that masons use to clean bricks.)
Luckily, our stomachs are lined by a thick layer of mucus to protect us from the acid and the enzyme pepsin
that it produces. The mixing motion of the stomach, along with the acid and the breakdown of protein by
the pepsin, turns the bolus into a liquid substance called chyme, which in turn is then slowly released into
the small intestine. For a full meal, this process takes approximately two to three hours.
Only a few things are absorbed into the bloodstream at the level of the stomach, and interestingly, these
are the very things that can cause stomach irritation: alcohol, aspirin and non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs).
(5)Your pancreas and liver are not so mysterious...
Gallbladder in green, liver in maroon, pancreas in tan.
...the primary role of each is to produce substances that break down the foods you eat.
As the chyme makes its way into your small intestine, it's met with juices produced by the liver and the
pancreas. The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and then released into the small
intestine to break down fats, while the pancreas secretes enzymes into the small intestine that break
6
down protein, carbohydrates and fats. The pancreas also releases a substance called bicarbonate that
neutralizes any acid that's made its way out of the stomach.
(6) Your small intestine is responsible for almost all of the absorption of nutrients from the foods we eat.
The small intestine is where the most important work of digestion takes place, that of further breaking
down the food we eat into molecular components that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. You may
remember from high school biology that the small intestine has three parts: the duodenum, the jejunum
and the ileum. Bile from the gallbladder, and digestive enzymes from the pancreas, are mixed into the
chyme in the duodenum. The final breakdown and absorption of nutrients occurs in the second two parts.
Absorption of nutrients is conducted by microscopic projections along the lining of the small intestine
called villi. Celiac disease is a disorder in which the ingestion of gluten results in damage to the villi, which
in turn can lead to health problems stemming from the lack of absorption of vital nutrients.
(7) Fiber is what's left over when all the other parts of food have been digested.
Once the small intestine has completed its breakdown of food and absorption of nutrients, it propels the
undigested parts of plant food, known as fiber, into the large intestine. Fiber is classified into two general
types: soluble, which dissolves in water, and insoluble, which does not. Fiber both softens and bulks up the
stool, and is essential for both digestive and overall health.
(8)Your large intestine receives about one quart of liquid a day from the small intestine.
In addition to fiber, the small intestine propels liquid into your large intestine, where it's absorbed and
stools are formed. The large intestine is made up of the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the
descending colon, the sigmoid colon, and the rectum. Although there's great variation in frequency, the
stool is in general moved once or twice a day into the rectum in preparation for a bowel movement.
(9)Your GI system plays host to more than 500 species of bacteria.
We are not born with any bacteria in our digestive systems, but develop a significant population within the
first month, most of which can be found in our large intestine. Recognition of the role that bacteria play in
digestive health has stimulated booming sales of products containing probiotics, often labeled as "friendly
bacteria." Bacteria fight off disease‐carrying organisms, play a role in absorbing nutrients that slip past the
small intestine through fermentation, and help to support our immune systems. You're most acutely
aware of the work of bacteria when its process of fermentation causes you to experience intestinal gas.
Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a health condition in which too many bacteria are present in
the small intestine. SIBO has been theorized as a possible factor in the development of IBS for some
individuals.

kitchen ventilation
We have not been able to use one exhaust hood in the kitchen for weeks due to the fact it blows heated air and makes
the kitchen that already has no air conditioning extremely hot. Today the other exhaust hood is not working( even when
the power came back on). This creates unhealthy and unsafe working conditions.

Lee,
This is what I took from the meeting with Rockwell and Schaedler;
August 8 upgrade touch screen one (TS1). Test functionality for one week then August 15 upgrade TS2.
We discussed changing housing unit view ME to view SE to match central control.

Lee,
This is what I took from the meeting with Rockwell and Schaedler;
August 8 upgrade touch screen one (TS1). Test functionality for one week then August 15 upgrade TS2.
We discussed changing housing unit view ME to view SE to match central control.

PRODUCT – Inmate Medical Budget
Protector
Our proprietary Inmate Medical Budget Protector is an
insurance policy designed to protect a Jail’s budget
against costly and unexpected catastrophic inmate
medical expenses.
A Policy That Meets Your Jail’s Needs
Deductibles ranging from $10,000 to
$100,000.
Policy will cover up to $250,000 (minus
deductible) per inmate, per policy year.
Your chosen deductible is per inmate, per
policy year and does not reset at $0 upon each
release or re-arrest.
County is charged a rate based on the average
number of daily inmates.
With this catastrophic policy, your Jail can
now better set annual budgets as well as giving
you the means to better stay within those
budgets.
Frequently Asked Questions

amount the policy will pay?
No. There are no daily maximums set on your inmate’s
medical expenses.
Does the Company contract exclude Physician office
visits?No.
Are organ transplant procedures covered by the CRS
contract?
Yes.
Will the deductible reset at $0 each time an inmate is
released from custody?
No. The deductible will accrue throughout the course of the
policy year; regardless of how many times a particular
inmate is released and re-booked.
Is there an overall maximum amount the policy will cover
per jail?
No. There is only an annual maximum per inmate which is
$250,000 (minus deductible).
Covers Such Expenses As:
Inpatient hospitalization and Outpatient
surgical charges
Emergency room charges (when followed by
hospital admission)
Physician, Surgeon, Anesthesiologist and
Radiologist fees

Hi Sheriff Sampsel,
Apex is a Wholesale Insurance agent that specializes in Municipalities. By working through local independent
insurance agents, we help Counties like yourself find the best solutions for your Property and Casualty
Insurance needs. Being the Sheriff I wanted to introduce a product that we can offer. I know several Counties
work directly with ACCO, but if you are interested in the below product please have a local agent of your liking
contact me. I appreciate your consideration and hope to be of service in the future.
Apex has a program to protect a County’s budget against costly and catastrophic Inmate Medical Expenses. It
is not health insurance, but a reimbursement policy with a limit and deductible per inmate. Coverage is with
an “A” rated admitted insurance company.
This policy is very low maintenance. Once bound, the Company deals directly with the County to reimburse
covered inmate medical expenses paid to local providers including, physicians, hospitals and clinics. I have
researched this huge governmental expenditure and a single county jail can incur millions of dollars for inmate
healthcare. A County in Pennsylvania paid over $7,000,000 in 2015 and a County in Florida has spent
$5,000,000 year to date.
1
According to an online government procurement website, this risk paid AMOUNT for inmate
medical expenses.
If you would like an indication with a cost benefit analysis, please send me 1 to 3 years of the County’s annual
medical expense per inmate and I will determine if it makes sense to insure this exposure. The savings could
be very significant.
Thanks!

Medication Administration
Effective immediately, nurses will no longer prepare medications in the medical department to be delivered and
administered in the housing units. (The only exception to this is A‐1 housing unit.) This will take longer for the nurse to
take each medication from the patient specific medication card(s) and administer to the inmate. Your cooperation is
appreciated. Thank you.

Jail Incarceration Trends (2016)
07/13/2016 02:35 PM EDT
"In 2014, the nationwide jail incarceration rate of 326 per 100,000 county residents exceeded the highest county
rates registered in the 1970s, which rarely exceeded 300 per 100,000. Scroll the time slider or click the "Select
data"; button to navigate the data"; Interactive charts for U.S. counties or states show the size of jails today;
disparate impacts on race; disparate impacts on gender; decades of jail growth; and jail and prison population.
There is also a link to the full report from which these charts are taken"; In Our Own Backyard: Confronting
Growth and Disparities in American Jails" (December 2015) by Ram Subramanian, Christian Henrichson, and

RE: Request for Information
Schuylkill County uses minimum security sentenced inmates for the Vocational Rehabilitation Program/Community
Service program, which is under the direction of the Adult Probation Dept., and monitored by an armed Adult Probation
Officer.
15
General Prison grounds crew work is performed by the same inmates monitored by an unarmed prison maintenance
worker which carries a prison radio.
Correctional Officers are only armed, barring a security emergency , when transporting an inmate to a medical
appointment or if working hospital duty.

On the above date and apprOXtmate time, inmates in the C33 HouSing Unit approached me about
being able to have brown t-shirts on instead of a uniform shirt The reasoning they gave was due to
the amount of heat on the unit. I checked the thermostat and it was between 77 and 78 degrees. I
called Lieutnenat M, Fisher to ask for direction of the matter. He stated that it was at my discretion. I
gave the inmates an opportunity to go without their uniform tops. Inmates were warned not to take

Wellness Tip July 15, 2016
Quick Core Workout Routine
The Plank
This quick core routine begins with the plank exercise. The plank provides a great warm‐up that engages
all the muscles of the core: the rectus abdominis, the internal and external obliques, transversus
abdominis, the hip flexors, the erector spinae and multifidus.
Begin in the pictured position. Keep your torso straight and rigid and your body in a straight line from ears
to toes with no sagging or bending. Hold the position 15‐60 seconds while maintaining control.
To increase the difficulty and intensity of this movement, alternate lifting one arm out in front of you while
maintaining your posture for 10 seconds and repeating on the other side. You can do the same with each
leg, by lifting your foot up and holding that position for 10 seconds and repeating on the opposite leg.
The Side Plank
4
The side plank engages the often‐overlooked muscles that help support the core ‐‐ the lateral stabilizers
from the ankle to the shoulder. This is one simple and effective exercise to help increase lateral hip
strength and stability and keep the obliques and transverse abdominis strong.
Begin in the pictured position and keep your body stiff from head to toe. Hold the position 15‐60 seconds
while maintaining control, and be sure to do both sides!
To increase the difficulty and intensity of this movement, alternate lifting your top leg up a few inches and
holding it for 10 seconds while maintaining your balance.
The V‐Sit Abdominal Exercise
The v‐sit is an effective abdominal and core exercise that works the rectus abdominis, the external
obliques, and internal obliques. This exercise also engages the hip flexors.
To do the V‐sit, start in a seated position on the floor, contract your abdominal muscles and core, and lift
your legs up to a 45‐degree angle as pictured. Reach your arms straight forward or reach up toward your
shins as you are able. Maintain good core posture and a strong spine while you hold the position for
several seconds. Rest and repeat several times. As you get stronger, hold the position longer.
The Bicycle Crunch
The bicycle crunch exercise is one of the best exercises for the rectus abdominus and obliques, according
to an abdominal exercise study done at San Diego State University.
To do the exercise, lay flat on the floor with your lower back pressed to the ground. Rest your hands
behind your head without pulling on your neck. Bring your knees up to about a 45‐degree angle and slowly
go through a bicycle pedal motion as pictured. First, touch your left elbow to your right knee, then your
5
right elbow to your left knee. Perform the exercise in a slow, controlled motion. Repeat 10‐25 repetitions
on each side.
Push Up Lat Row
Start in a push up position with each hand on a dumbbell (begin with a light weight to learn the
movement). Complete a full push up. Once you return to the start position you will add a dumbbell row;
raise one dumbbell while stabilizing your body with the other arm and lower the dumbbell gently to the
ground and repeat another push up.
The Bridge Exercise
The hip bridge exercise isolates and strengthen the gluteus (butt) muscles and hamstrings (back of the
upper leg). This, along with the single leg bridge exercise, are good core strengtheners that target both
the abs and the low back muscles. The bridge exercise is considered a basic rehab exercise to improve core
and spinal stabilization.
Hold the position pictured above for 15‐60 seconds while maintaining control. If you do the single leg
bridge as well, be sure to do both sides!
To increase the difficulty and intensity of this movement, alternate lifting up on your toes so heel come off
the ground and then reverse it with the toes off the ground and your weight on your heels.
The Single Leg Bridge Exercise
6
The single leg bridge exercise is the next step after you've mastered the bridge exercise. This move is a
great way to isolate and strengthen the glutes and hamstrings, but when you do this exercise correctly,
you will also find that it is a very powerful core strengthener.
Start on your back, hands by your sides, knees bent and feet flat on the ground, directly under your knees.
Lift up into a bridge position, and tighten your core.
Slowly raise and extend one leg. Keep your pelvis raised and level, try not to let one side dip down.
Work up so that you can hold this position 20 to 30 seconds while maintaining control. Be sure to do both
sides.

I received a request for PREA Contacts at the SCIs from one of your colleagues. I am providing the attached sheet;
however, I want to note that this is a frequently changing document within the Department. If an allegation of sexual
abuse/harassment does occur at your facility regarding an inmate on WRIT/ATA it is preferred under PREA 28 CFR Part
115, §115.63, that the county facility head (warden) notify the superintendent of the SCI that the inmate came from
and/or will be returning to. If other contact/information is necessary regarding specific cases you may also feel free to
reach out to the Department’s Acting PREA Coordinator, Dave Radziewicz (see contact below).

The Huffington Post (07/14/2016)
http://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/sandra‐bland‐jail‐deaths/
Sandra Bland died one year ago today and since then at least 810 people have lost their lives in jail
(Contains PA state and county prison data)
By Dana Leibelson and Ryan J. Reilly
er the past year, there have been so many stories of violence and injustice in America, and even the most well‐known
deserve to be revisited. This is one: Last July, Sandra Bland was pulled over by a Texas state trooper for, he said, failing
to signal when she changed lanes. After the 28‐year‐old questioned his instruction to put out her cigarette and refused
to get out of the car, the trooper arrested her for assault of an officer. Bland didn’t have enough money for the $500 bail
bondsman’s fee, and so she was held in jail. Within 65 hours of her arrest, she was dead. The coroner determined that
she had hanged herself with a noose fashioned from a garbage bag.
What made Bland’s death so shocking—the reason that millions of people watched the dash‐cam footage of her arrest
or closely examined her mugshot—was the mystery at its heart. What had really happened inside the Waller County jail?
If Bland had taken her own life, how could she have reached a state of irreversible despair so suddenly?
Deaths inside American jails frequently go unnoticed, sometimes even unrecorded. Unlike prisons, jails hold people for
only short periods—about 21 days on average—and many of their inmates have not been convicted of a crime.
Additionally, jails typically aren’t required to release public information about people who die within their walls. The
federal government publishes only generalized data years after deaths occur, making it nearly impossible to identify the
most dangerous facilities. So we attempted to fill the gap.
Huffington Post reporters collected the names of people who have died in jail since the day of Bland’s death: July 13,
2015. We scoured news reports and press releases, gathered official records, searched court dockets, filed public
records requests, and contacted more than 100 agencies. When news stories omitted details such as the date of arrest
or official cause of death, our reporters tried to obtain that information, either directly from the jail or from the office of
the medical examiner who conducted the autopsy. Not every agency that we contacted responded, and our database
remains incomplete. It will be updated as we receive outstanding record requests and information from the public.
We found evidence of 811 fatalities—an average of more than two per day. (By way of comparison, 178 unarmed people
were killed by police during the same period, according to The Guardian.) And like so much else in this realm, the burden
is not borne equally. Black people are more likely to die in jail because they are more likely to be arrested than any other
racial group, for reasons that have as much to do with double standards in the justice system and historic oppression as
they do with crime. African‐Americans make up 13 percent of the U.S. population and, on average, 32 percent of people
who died in jail between 2000 and 2013, according to federal data.
Many people believe Sandra Bland did not take her own life. But the circumstances of her death fit a recognizable
pattern. In a significant number of the cases we found, people killed themselves within just a few days, even when they
3
had been arrested on minor charges that were extremely unlikely to result in prison time. Nearly one‐third of the deaths
we found were suicides. And at least one‐third of people died within three days of being booked. (Some of the
descriptions of suicides that follow are graphic.)
This April, Bland's mother, Geneva Reed‐Veal, visited Washington, D.C., to deliver a speech at the Library of Congress.
“By a show of hands,” she asked the audience, “can any of you tell me the other six women who died in jail in July 2015
along with Sandra Bland?” Nobody could. Those women are recorded here, along with hundreds of others.
In addition to these names, we learned a great deal about the inner workings of a world that is almost entirely hidden
from the public. We learned why some people become frighteningly vulnerable to harming themselves within a
frighteningly short period of time. And we also learned that it doesn’t have to be this way.
ter Bland died, her family and friends questioned whether she had really ended her own life. She was about to start a
new job, had recently rekindled her relationship with her mother, and seemed optimistic about the future. Why would
she kill herself? The idea was “unfathomable,” her sister told reporters.
Suicide has been the leading cause of death in jails in every year since 2000, according to the latest Justice Department
data. This is not the case in prisons, where inmates are more likely to die of cancer, heart and liver disease. There’s a
reason for this difference. People land in jail right after they’ve been arrested. They’re often angry, desperate or afraid.
They may be intoxicated or have psychiatric conditions that officers have no way of knowing about.
The experts we spoke with emphasized that entering jail is an instantly dehumanizing process. “You get clothes that
don't fit you, you get strip‐searched, you lose any semblance of privacy, you don't get to make many decisions that we
all take for granted,” said Jeffrey Metzner, a psychiatrist at the University of Colorado in Denver who specializes in
inmate mental health. “I don’t think most of us realize just how frightening that experience is,” added Steve J. Martin, a
corrections expert who is monitoring reforms at Rikers Island Correctional Facility in New York City. “You have a total
and absolute loss—immediate loss—of control over your being, over your physical being.”
Under these circumstances, people can deteriorate at an alarming speed. About two weeks after Bland's death, 20‐year‐
old Brissa Lopez was arrested for allegedly fighting with her boyfriend, and arrived at a Texas jail around 4:47 a.m. She
was “very cooperative” and “chuckled as she removed her tongue and lip ring,” according to a sergeant who admitted
her. Staff checked on her at 6:15 a.m. Some 40 minutes later, she was found hanging from a fire alarm cage by a
bedsheet.
Brian Schnirel was arrested by deputies in Palm Beach, Florida, for failing to appear in court for a DUI. After two days, he
was found hanging from a shower vent. Catherine Rowell, an unemployed housekeeper, was arrested because she
allegedly violated a protection order by being at her boyfriend's house. Three days later, she hanged herself with a metal
braided phone cord.
In its last annual report on jail deaths the Justice Department found that 40 percent of the inmates who died in 2013, or
387 people, had been behind bars for a week or less. One‐quarter of the suicides in our data occurred within the first
three days. (This number should be considered low, since we have not yet obtained a cause of death for 237 cases.)
There are several distinct groups of people who can be at risk when they arrive in jail. There are those charged with
violent crimes and sex offenses, who may fear long prison sentences or being targeted behind bars. Another group
occupies the opposite end of the spectrum entirely—people who have been arrested for very minor offenses. We
identified dozens of suicides of jail inmates who were arrested on low‐level offenses such as public intoxication, drug
possession, trespassing, traffic charges, DUI and theft.
Then there are those who have become enmeshed in a cycle of short jail stints because they can’t pay fines for minor
violations or afford to post bond. (This is a particular hazard for minorities; research has found that black Americans
between the ages of 18 and 29 receive significantly higher bail than other racial groups, for example.) Bland herself had
some knowledge of this cycle. While unemployed, she had racked up thousands of dollars in fines and fees in connection
with traffic charges. Her lawyer believed he could get a 2010 marijuana charge dropped, according to The Nation, but
Bland couldn't afford to pay him, so she spent nearly a month in a Houston jail.
When someone’s existence is already precarious, even a short jail stint can seem like a catastrophe. People may fear
that they will lose a job, or a relationship, or a home, or be unable to care for a child. These feelings are often amplified
by other risk factors—drug and alcohol withdrawal, disrupted prescription medications, lack of basic medical or mental
health care.
In March 2011, Donyale Thomas, a 32‐year‐old mother living on a fixed income in Berkeley, Missouri, arrived in the city’s
three‐cell lockup. At the time, Berkeley, like nearby Ferguson and many surrounding cities in St. Louis County, relied
heavily on fines and fees for revenue, and Thomas owed hundreds of dollars in municipal code violations. She is part of a
4
lawsuit in which she says she was kept in the Ferguson jail for a week over outstanding tickets and denied access to
medicine for her bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
In the Berkeley jail, Thomas soon started to feel “like an animal,” she recalled. She was placed in a windowless cell with
two bunk beds. “I wasn’t able to bathe or anything or take care of my hygiene. I wasn’t able to see my kids. There were
like three or four women in the cell. Pads were laying around the cells,” she recalled. “My mind started going in other
routes and started thinking all opposite things and crazy things.” After a while, she said, “It gets to the point where you
think, ‘OK, I just want to find my way out of this.’”
Thomas said she told guards she was suicidal and they took away her blanket. A dispatcher was instructed to keep an
eye on her via closed‐circuit video. But Thomas had a backup plan. “I still had my bra on. So that’s what I ripped up and
tied up there,” she said. Thomas’ cellmate alerted the guards, who reached her before she asphyxiated.
Frank McCall, the Berkeley police chief, argued that Thomas never really meant to kill herself. Her cell, he said, had
“enough room where if they want to get up and pace the room, she could’ve paced the room three, four, five steps one
way and back and forth.” He added that his officers weren’t aware of Thomas’ mental health issues: “We don’t know
what she really has going on,” as he put it. But McCall believes Thomas’ real intent “was to get out of jail.” After the
guards found her, they took her to hospital, where she was admitted for psychiatric evaluation. The doctors deemed her
“not fit for confinement.”
1982, fewer than half of jails reported doing even cursory medical screening of new inmates. Back then, the suicide rate
was much higher—107 per 100,000 inmates in 1986. Jails took some steps over the following decades to address this,
and the suicide rate dropped almost threefold between 1986 and 2006, according to one study. And yet today, even
though all inmates should ideally go through a screening process that includes access to mental health and medical
professionals, those procedures aren’t always adequate or followed correctly. Due to this and other factors, in 2013, the
suicide rate in jail was more than three times that of the general population.
In many facilities, the first person to interview an inmate is an officer who is often poorly paid and sometimes minimally
trained. He or she may have to make vital decisions about a person’s risk of self‐harm and whether to call for additional
mental health help. During the screening, jails may also take into account outside information from family members, the
arresting officer and other sources.
But sometimes jails appear to miss even the most glaring warning signs. Alberto Carlos Petrolino, a 50‐year‐old chef and
artist, was arrested last July, after his ex‐girlfriend called 911 to report that he planned to kill himself on the Golden Gate
Bridge, according to a lawsuit filed by the family. Petrolino's family contacted the jail to warn staff that he might try to
take his own life, the lawsuit states; his mother was so worried that she took a bus to the jail, said Petrolino's son, Fabio.
And yet Petrolino wasn’t treated by a doctor or placed in specialized housing for suicidal inmates, the family claimed.
Within 72 hours of his arrival, Petrolino had hanged himself in a shower. (The San Francisco City Attorney's office did not
respond to a request for comment.)
In March, the Burkburnett Police Department in Texas arrested 22‐year‐old Marcus Johnson for possession of a fake ID.
When he was booked into the police lockup, he told officers he had attempted suicide three times, including a few
weeks earlier. He explained to the screening officer that he had depression and bipolar disorder and had previously
been institutionalized. However, Johnson shook his head when asked whether he was currently suicidal and wasn’t put
on suicide watch—even though his mother called the jail and told an officer her son urgently needed his psychiatric
medication.
At one point, an officer checked in on Johnson and found him crying. No one came back to check on him for just over
two hours, during which time he hanged himself with the drawstring of his pants. Michael Whaley, the Burkburnett city
manager, said the police department is evaluating its policies as a result of the incident. Two officers involved were
disciplined with a one‐day suspension and a letter of reprimand, respectively.
In other cases, officers fail to notice signs that an inmate is experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal, which could pose a
suicide risk. Usually if someone is high or intoxicated, “their presentation is not subtle,” said Pablo Stewart, a psychiatrist
who has served as an expert witness in corrections cases. “Come on, open your goddamn eyes, smell the guy—he's
reeking of alcohol, look at his arms, he has track marks, look at his pupils...make a diagnosis,” he added.
In April 2015, Jason Johnston and his girlfriend were arrested for allegedly stealing between $500 and $1,500 worth of
items from a Walmart Supercenter in Westworth Village, Texas. Johnston had a history of obsessive‐compulsive
disorder, attention deficit disorder and depression. He self‐medicated with hydrocodone, turned to heroin because it
was cheaper, and was using every day by the time he was arrested, said his brother, Cody.
5
Johnston was sent to a small lockup run by the Westworth Village Police Department. An officer who helped arrest him
also did his mental health screening. He observed that Johnston "appeared to be nervous and upset," and was worried
about his girlfriend. When Johnston couldn’t come up with around $190 for his bond, he became distraught.
Still, the officer did not list Johnston at risk for suicide or drug withdrawal, and placed him in a sparse cell alone.
Westworth staffers weren’t required to check on inmates in person, an officer and a detective said when questioned
later. Instead, the dispatcher was meant to monitor him over a surveillance camera once an hour. Johnston paced
around his cell and chalked a note to his girlfriend on the ceiling. In a subsequent statement, the dispatcher did not
mention the moment when he walked to the phone on the wall and tried to wrap its cord around his neck. Nor did she
note seeing him remove the drawstring from his red athletic shorts.
She checked the camera around 4 p.m., and again at least an hour later. The second time, Johnston was hanging from
his top bunk by the drawstring. He was later found to have opiates, hydromorphone, hydrocodone and morphine in his
system. His brother was walking out of a baseball game when his father called to say that Jason was dead. “I didn't know
my brother had been in jail,” Cody Johnston said. (The Westworth Village Police Department declined comment through
their attorney.)
Jails with fewer than 50 inmates have a suicide rate five times higher than larger jails, according to a 2002 Justice
Department study. Jonathan Smith, the former chief of the DOJ’s Special Litigation Section, said small police‐run jails
simply aren’t equipped to confine human beings. “In order to insure that [inmates] get adequate medical care and
nutrition and are protected from violence and what have you, you can’t have a 10‐person jail and do that in a
meaningful way,” Smith said.
And yet all the experts we interviewed agreed that suicides are highly preventable in a controlled environment like a jail.
“People often say, ‘Well, if somebody wants to kill themselves, they’re going to kill themselves,’” said Margo Schlanger,
a law professor at the University of Michigan who specializes in criminal justice. “That’s false. If you run a jail with an
appropriate degree of suicide prevention, you get almost zero.”
jail in Brazos County, Texas, which has around 650 inmates, has had only one completed suicide in the past 10 years,
according to Kit Wright, a sergeant and nurse at the county sheriff's office. The county makes an effort to keep people
with mental health issues out of jail: Last year, crisis intervention officers diverted 214 people to mental health facilities
instead of charging them with a crime. And the jail employs another noteworthy tactic. After being screened by an
officer, inmates go through a separate interview with a nurse. In this second conversation, inmates tend to be more
open about things like drug use and mental health history. People will “answer one way to someone in uniform, and
different to someone in scrubs,” Wright said.
Not every jurisdiction can afford around‐the‐clock medical coverage. But there are plenty of effective suicide‐prevention
strategies available, many of them surprisingly low‐tech. “If you talk to any of the experts in the field, they will tell you
that we know how to stop people from committing suicide in jail,” said Samuel Bagenstos, who formerly held the
second‐highest position in the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. “You need to do decent screening of people as they come into
jail, and you need to put people in places where it’s not easy for them to kill themselves. At some level, it’s not really
rocket science.”
An officer who arrests someone shouldn’t do the mental health screening, Hayes said. Interviewing inmates in private
makes it more likely that they’ll answer truthfully. He recommends that staffers have, at a minimum, eight hours of
training on suicide prevention so they understand how to assess an inmate's actions and history. They also need clear
instructions on when to call for medical or mental health personnel.
Getting the screening process right is crucial, because there is no way to make a cell suicide‐proof. (The preferred term
in the correctional industry is “suicide‐resistant,” which means ensuring that cells don't have clothing hooks, corded
phones, exposed sprinkler heads, laundry bag strings or mattresses that can be easily ripped.) As
Raymond Patterson, a psychiatrist who has worked as a court monitor in corrections cases, explained, an inmate who’s
determined enough could “run across the cell and jam [his] head into the door.”
What does make a profound difference, Patterson said, is when officers interact with inmates and pass relevant
information to mental health staff. “How about you talk to him?” Patterson suggested. “And you ask him questions like:
'How are you? What's going on in your life?'” It can take as little as five minutes for death to occur by strangulation, so
people who are at high risk of suicide need to be under continuous watch. That means in‐person contact, not watching
remotely via a surveillance camera. (The Texas Commission on Jail Standards, for example, bans camera‐only
observation.) People at lower risk should be monitored in person at least every 15 minutes, at staggered intervals, Hayes
said.
6
Ultimately, though, the most difficult challenge is not figuring out how to prevent inmates from harming themselves. It’s
compelling the jails to change the way they do things. Jail systems, for the most part, are “reactive, not pro‐active,”
Hayes said. They tend to change their policies only after there are multiple suicides in a short period, which can draw
negative media attention and lawsuits.
At the beginning of the Obama administration, Tom Perez, the incoming chief of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, which is
responsible for jail oversight, tried to step up investigations into jails and prisons. (In the Bush years, such efforts had
“proceeded at a snail’s pace and resulted in relatively few enforcement actions,” according to a confidential report
circulated by the Obama‐Biden transition team.) But Perez’s team found that it was incredibly difficult to figure out
which jails were the most dangerous. “There was no national surveillance system that allowed there to be a sorting of
the cases. They would come in pretty haphazardly,” said Jonathan Smith, the former DOJ official. “We would have cases
where you wouldn’t get reports of deaths because the person died at the hospital, for example. Or they’d be discharged
from the jail as they were being loaded into the ambulance, so it wouldn’t be reported.”
In theory, there was a straightforward solution: Focus on the jails with the most deaths. But the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, which counts fatalities, keeps most of its data to itself. In order to encourage jails to participate, it only
releases statewide totals, not the names of the most deadly institutions. BJS does not even share that kind of
information with the rest of the Justice Department. “That was one of the things that frustrated Tom Perez to no end,”
Bagenstos said. “How can we be sure we’re going after the places that were really the worst?”
And the most likely places to escape scrutiny are the small jails and police lockups where problems are so prevalent.
“These are very, very resource intensive cases,” Bagenstos explained. For both the DOJ and outside advocacy groups,
mounting complex lawsuits against institutions that hold only a handful of people can be hard to justify.
There was a time when many states carried out regular inspections of jails. But in 1996, Congress passed legislation that
limited inmates’ ability to bring lawsuits challenging conditions in jails and prisons and circumscribed the power of
federal courts to order reforms. Many states subsequently cut back on jail inspections or eliminated them altogether. All
of this means that from the outside, it’s nearly impossible to identify when a jail has a problem until it's too late.
In the year after Sandra Bland died, the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, which oversees county jails, recorded 25
suicides. In at least 11 cases, they found a violation of minimum standards. The commission introduced a new intake
form that includes simple questions like, “Are you extremely worried you will lose your job, position, spouse, significant
other, custody of your children due to arrest?” It also spells out that an officer must call a supervisor if an inmate
answers yes to a question. “The form has to be able to be done by anybody,” said Brandon Wood, executive director of
the agency.
That form went into effect in December 2015. Last year, there were 33 suicides in county jails in Texas. This year, as of
June, there had been eight. It would be premature to attribute the decline to the new form, said Diana Spiller, a
research specialist at the commission, but its experts are “optimistic.” Simple acts, it seems, can save lives. The question
is whether enough people are interested in that.

Death penalty demands strong defenders
By the Editorial Board
7
Take the case of Mark Spotz.
In 1995, the Clearfield County man went on a rampage in four Pennsylvania counties, killing four people, including one in
York County.
His crimes were beyond senseless. They were beyond brutal. They were heinous.
If anyone deserves to die strapped to a gurney at the State Correctional Institution at Rockview, it is Mr. Spotz.
That is clearly an emotional argument. The reality of the matter is that during his trials, Mr. Spotz chose to defend
himself. The old joke, any defendant who chooses to do so has a fool for a client, has some validity. It could be said that
Mr. Spotz did not receive adequate legal representation, especially considering the gravity of the offenses and the
ultimate penalty.
That is a difficult argument to make, since Mr. Spotz chose, by his free will, out of either hubris or stupidity, to act as his
own attorney.
Mr. Spotz has been appealing his multiple death sentences. After his initial appeals had been exhausted, the Federal
Community Defender Office became involved in his case. The non‐profit organization has expertise in death penalty
cases and is permitted to represent some of the most notorious and reprehensible killers on death row in state court.
In the course of Mr. Spotz's appeals, former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald Castille was highly critical of the
office, writing, in essence, that its attorneys were too good at their jobs, litigating death penalty cases with the kind of
thoroughness and attention to detail that you would expect from a private law firm with more than adequate resources.
"A zealous representation of your client – that's fine," he said in a recent interview. "But being a zealot is different."
Maybe it's a fine line.
But does not change the simple fact that, no matter how you feel about the death penalty, our justice system demands
that a person facing the loss of his or her life for committing the most terrible offenses receive the best legal
representation possible.
That's why some death‐row inmates – including four current condemned men from York County – have sought
representation by the Capital Habeas Unit of the Federal Community Defender Office. The organization specializes in
representing death‐row inmates, a specialty that few legal general practitioners focus upon.
The office, which gets some of its funding from the federal government, usually practices in federal courts, and not all of
the agency's offices become involved in what are considered state‐level cases.
But in Pennsylvania, the office serves a definite purpose. The commonwealth is the only state in the country that does
not provide funding for defense counsel in capital cases in instances in which defendants cannot afford attorneys.
Its attorneys are thorough. Benjamin Lerner, a former Philadelphia Common Pleas Court judge, said that whenever one
of the office's attorneys appeared in his court, he knew he would have to work "awfully hard." The attorneys, he said,
litigated every relevant issue, and those cases did not return to his court with appeals citing inadequate counsel.
Lerner summed it well: "We have no right, I think, as a society to say, 'On the one hand we want to have the death
penalty, but on the other hand, we aren't going to provide the resources for a constitutionally adequate defense for
people who we're seeking to put to death,'" he said.
That is the issue in a nutshell. And it provides more than enough justification for Gov. Tom Wolf's 2015 moratorium on
executions, an executive decision that, by the way, has been upheld by the state Supreme Court.
Prosecutors had sought to forbid the office from representing defendants in state court, citing, among other things,
jurisdictional issues, a tactic that was rejected by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The court's chief judge,
Theodore McKee, wrote that systemic attempts to disqualify the office's lawyers was "all the more perplexing and
regrettable" considering the volume of evidence suggesting that inadequate representation risks gross miscarriages of
justice.
The bottom line is that our Constitution requires even those accused of the most heinous acts receive more‐than‐
adequate representation in court. That is essential for our criminal justice system to function properly.
Without it, we not only violate the rights of people like Mark Spotz, but we also diminish ourselves.

Following police dog's death, Pa. corrections officials consider safety devices for cars
By Lizzy Hardison
8
After one of its drug‐detecting dogs died of heat exposure in a hot car, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections is
researching car‐monitoring technology to prevent similar incidents in the future, a local vendor said Wednesday.
Bill Castle IV, manager of Castle's K9 training facility in Mechanicsburg, said the Department of Corrections contacted his
business last week to request a quote for car systems that would sound an alarm or open windows if the vehicle's
internal temperature reaches critical levels.
These systems range in price from $900 to $1,500, Castle said.
The inquiry from the Department of Corrections came after Totti, a yellow lab and member of the department's Drug
Interdictions Unit, died of heat exposure on July 7. His handler, Sgt. Chad Holland, left him in a vehicle for two and a half
hours during a training exercise at the state prison at Rockview, near Bellefonte, according to the department.
Car monitoring systems are critical to preventing one of the most common fatalities among police canines, according to
Chris Heslop, president of the Ohio non‐profit Police Canine Association. Heslop said that deaths like Totti's are "not only
the handler's fault," since it is "not uncommon practice" to leave a canine unattended in a car.
"You can't always bring your dog inside with you if you're working," Heslop said. As a result, "heat injuries are a huge
issue" that he estimates can kill up to a dozen police canines a year.
Unlike service dogs that accompany people with disabilities, police canines do not always have access to enter private
buildings or crowded spaces, Heslop said. When officers are performing an arrest, patrolling an area, or filing paperwork
inside a precinct, they will likely leave their dog in their squad car.
Heslop said temperature monitoring systems can save dogs' lives when their handlers are preoccupied with other
policing duties. Heslop said that he is "100 percent dependent" on his own system to keep his dog safe in hot
temperatures.
"My dog's been left in the car because we're in a standoff with a hostage," Heslop said. Thankfully, he said, his
monitoring system was able to stabilize the car's internal temperature.
Heslop said he believes car monitoring systems should be standard items in any canine patrol vehicle, but he and Castle
acknowledge that the devices can be cost‐prohibitive for smaller police departments.
Heslop, however, believes that any department that chooses not to invest in car monitoring systems "needs to explain
why they chose not to have it."
In an incident such as Totti's death, where a dog did not have the safeguard of a car monitoring system, Heslop believes
that the responsible handler ought to face charges for the animal's suffering.
"They have to be responsible for their actions," Heslop said. "It's not different than leaving a kid in the car buckled in
their child's seat. We have to create a better system and better accountability for our [canine] partners because they
can't let themselves out of the car."
Jeffrey Justice, an advocate in Colorado who compiles the Police K9 Handler Review, has recorded 18 incidents of police
canines dying in hot cars since 2015. He says that Totti's death is the eighth such incident in 2016 alone.
Despite the frequency and gravity of canine car deaths, Justice said police departments are slow to punish negligent
handlers or implement safeguards to protect canines.
"Canines have the status of being a police officer, so this is a fellow officer causing the needless death of another police
officer," Justice said. "[The handlers] usually get away with it in some way."
Justice said that some handlers who cause the death of their canines are immediately fired, while others may face
animal cruelty charges.
In Cherokee County, Ga., Lt. Daniel Peabody of the Cherokee County School Police Department recently was arrested
and charged with aggravated cruelty to animals after he left his canine in a vehicle for three hours.
The Department of Corrections has initiated a fact‐finding investigation into Totti's death, but a spokesperson could not
say whether or not Holland would face charges in the incident. Representatives from the North American Police Work
Dog Association, where Holland was a candidate to become a Master Trainer, are also waiting on the results of the
investigation to determine his standing with their program.
"It is a tragic incident, like everyone else we're waiting until the investigation is completed," said Rick Ashabranner,
president of the North American Police Work Dog Association. "Until we get the final outcomes I'm not going to
speculate."

Drug detection dog dies after handler leaves him in hot car
By Hilary Hanson
A two‐year‐old drug‐sniffing dog with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections has died after being left alone in a
hot car.
Totti, a yellow Labrador retriever, was left inside his trainer’s vehicle last Thursday, according to a DOC public statement.
The handler, Sgt. Chad Holland, stored some things in a vehicle around 12:15 p.m. and did not realize until until 2:44
p.m. that Totti was inside the car as well, Amy Worden, DOC spokeswoman, told PennLive.
Totti was still conscious at that point and staff tried to cool him down with ice and a hose before taking him to a
veterinarian. Though veterinary workers managed to stabilize his body temperature, Totti’s heart rate remained too
high. He died several hours later.
“DOC employees are extremely saddened by this tragic event,” the statement reads.
The DOC did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Huffington Post.
Pets are more at risk from extreme hot temperatures than humans since they can’t sweat. And temperatures inside a
parked car can rise much faster than many people realize, this chart from the American Veterinary Medical Association
shows. Children are also extremely susceptible to the heat because they produce more heat relative to their size than
adults do, and their abilities to cool themselves by sweating aren’t fully developed, emergency medicine doctor Nathan
Allen told Web MD.
A pending bill in the Pennsylvania legislature would make confining a dog or cat in a hot car a criminal offense, and give
authorities the legal power to remove the animal from the vehicle, according to the Animal Legal Defense Fund.
But while Pennsylvania does not currently have any laws that specifically address leaving animals in hot cars, it is “illegal
to deprive an animal access to shelter which will protect the animal from elements and preserve body temperature,”
Sgt. Nicole Wilson, field supervisor with the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, told HuffPost.
Wilson was unable to comment on the specifics of Totti’s case, but noted that “we have successfully prosecuted cases
where animals were left in cars during extreme temperatures suffering harm as a result.”

Rockview prison increases security following dog’s death
By Lori Falce
Every year, police and safety groups warn about the dangers of leaving pets or kids in a car on a hot day.
A local prison learned exactly why.
On July 7, a state Department of Corrections drug dog at Rockview state prison died after overheating.
According to The Weather Channel, the high that day was 86 degrees. Totti, a 2‐year‐old yellow Labrador retriever, was
“accidentally left in a vehicle” during a training.
The DOC released a timeline for the incident. At 12:15 p.m., Totti’s handler stored training items in his vehicle after the
session was over.
At 2:44 p.m., the handler realized Totti was locked in the car, too.
The American Veterinary Medical Association says by that time, the temperature within the car would have been more
than 130 degrees.
“When the handler realized this fact, he and others rushed to the vehicle and began emergency care of the dog,
including hosing him down and carefully cooling him with ice,” the DOC said in a statement.
At 2:58 p.m., Totti was taken to the veterinarian. The dog was conscious at the time, according to the DOC, but did not
survive.
“Everyone involved was incredibly and understandably upset and concerned for the dog,” the department release
stated. “This has been very devastating for everyone involved.”
It has also had an impact on security.
On Wednesday, the day after information on Totti’s death was released, there appeared to be a heightened guard
presence at Rockview campus buildings.
Amy Worden, DOC spokeswoman, confirmed that.
“The extra security is in anticipation of a possible protest over the dog incident,” she said.
10
DOC Secretary John Wetzel initiated an investigation into Totti’s death on Tuesday. Worden said no further comment
could be given on the incident during the active investigation.
They are not the only ones concerned.
“Since we have learned of this dog’s death, we have requested an investigation and have also been contacted by
Rockview investigators who are freely sharing information at this point,” said Centre County District Attorney Stacy
Parks Miller.
The DA’s office has made crimes against animals a priority under Parks Miller’s administration, taking on the
mistreatment and shooting of dogs, theft of snakes and transportation of cattle in dangerously cold temperatures all
with zeal.
“We take all matters where animals are harmed very seriously,” she said.
The DOC has been training drug dogs since 1995. The animals have been trained at the Quehanna boot camp in the
Karthaus area in nearby Clearfield County, but those operations are being relocated to Rockview.

Teen convicted of rape won’t be on sex offender registry
By Becky Metrick
CHAMBERSBURG ‐ A Chambersburg teen was convicted Wednesday of rape and child rape, but not ordered to be on the
Pennsylvania Megan's Law Registry.
Tyqwaan Thomas, 17, was convicted weeks ago of armed robbery, and Wednesday added rape of a child and attempted
rape of a child charges to the list. However, Thomas' sentence of between four and eight years in state prison that
applied to the armed robbery charge became the sentence in both cases, all to run concurrently.
Franklin County First Assistant District Attorney Lauren Sulcove told the judge that the agreement came about when the
investigations into Thomas came to light, with the armed robbery case effectively taking him out of the juvenile court
system despite being 16.
Sulcove said Thomas was forthcoming when it came to discussing the rape cases, including that there was a third victim
who prosecutors and investigators could not find.
Sulcove said she believes Thomas has a really serious problem that needs to be addressed by his time in state prison.
However, Sulcove explained that Thomas could not be put on the State Sexual Offender Registry, or the Megan's Law
list, due to a recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision that ruled it unconstitutional for juveniles to be on the
registry.
An additional charge of Thomas filming a sexual act between an adult and a juvenile was dropped in the plea agreement.
Thomas told the judge about both rapes, one when he was 16 and the other when he was 14 and the girl was 16. In the
earlier case, he said he had told the court he met the girl to sell her marijuana, took her money, then raped her.
In the other case, he said he attacked the girl when he saw her at the park.
Franklin County Judge Angela Krom said that these types of cases are "very hard to determine exactly the correct
outcome."
Sulcove informed her that everyone, including the victims and investigators were in agreement with the plea agreement.
Krom noted that Sulcove had to balance what several parties wanted, and believes the plea was balanced in the end.
Thomas is required to undergo sex offender evaluations and treatment, despite not being on the registry. He is
prohibited from having contact with the victims, or unsupervised contact with minor girls.
He owes at $1,000 in fines for the two cases.

Commissioners seek to end restriction accepting prisoners
By Mark Gilger Jr.
The Schuylkill County commissioners have asked the state Department of Corrections to end its restriction on the county
prison accepting newly sentenced criminals.
The commissioners sent an email and letter Monday to state DOC Secretary John E. Wetzel asking that the department’s
order be modified or rescinded as soon as possible.
On May 4, the state DOC ordered that the Schuylkill County Prison could no longer take any additional prisoners
sentenced between six months to five years until its average monthly inmate population is at or below its approved
capacity of 277. Inmates serving sentences of two years or more can be sent to state facilities. The DOC said at that time
that it would review its decision in three months.
Since the order was issued, the county has entered into agreements to house inmates at other facilities. On Wednesday,
there were 212 inmates at the county prison and 41 were being housed at other facilities, including George W. Hill
Correctional Facility, Thornton; Centre County Correctional Facility, Bellefonte; and Columbia County Correctional
Facility, Bloomsburg.
It costs $60 to $65 a day per inmate to house inmates at those facilities, which adds up to more than $2,600 a day.
Meanwhile, the commissioners also approved another housing agreement Wednesday with the Berks County Prison,
Leesport, for $60 a day per inmate.
“We have been very fortunate to negotiate contracts below the state average,” commissioners Chairman and prison
board Chairman George F. Halcovage Jr. said. “There’s good communication between all parties involved. There are a lot
of moving parts on this and we continue to move forward.”
The average cost in 2014 — the latest figures available — was $67 a day per inmate, according to the state DOC. The
2014 cost at the Schuylkill County prison was $44.23 a day per inmate.
The letter, signed by Halcovage, said that the state DOC gave the county prison a favorable report following a July 5
inspection focusing on the current housing situation. It also states that the prison had a low of 210 inmates in June and
has not exceeded 223 through July 7. Also, no inmates were triple celled as of July 7.
“By this letter, I respectfully ask that the DOC approve a potential modification of or rescind the order as soon as
possible to permit acceptance of previously sentenced prisoners in the Schuylkill County Prison,” the letter said. “The
county prison board, warden, county administrator, the courts, sheriff’s office, the district attorney’s office, adult
probation and the public defenders’ office worked very hard and in concert to get the inmate population down to
acceptable numbers. Please provide whatever relief you feel appropriate as soon as possible.”

http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/editorials/2016/07/13/1‐shed‐more‐light‐on‐juvenile‐justice.html
By the Editorial Board
Ohio’s juvenile‐justice system often operates in the dark. Statewide data is publicly available on fewer than 5,000 of the
95,000 juvenile cases reported by local courts. This obviously hampers accountability, leaving experts and taxpayers at a
loss to determine which efforts are successful and cost‐effective at turning around troubled youngsters.
What offenses do youths across the state commit and what are the trends? We don’t know. The data that is available is
sketchy and focuses mostly on the small percentage of young people who commit felonies rather than those who more
typically commit minor crimes or status offenses such as violating curfew or underage drinking.
What happens to most kids when they go to court? Again, answers are fuzzy. No comprehensive statewide data exists
on how courts handle kids, making it hard to track the success or failure of youth offenders through incarceration or
treatment. Without such data, it’s impossible to discern which court interventions work to prevent kids from
reoffending — or graduating to the adult prison system.
“We’re spending millions of dollars — and we don’t even know how many million — on juvenile justice without knowing
if we’re getting what we’re paying for,” said Erin Davies, executive director of the Juvenile Justice Coalition. “… For
example, we do not know how many youth are on probation or what programs in various courts across the state use to
respond to youth.”
12
The coalition last year contacted juvenile courts in all 88 counties. It found that fewer than half have a publicly available
report on their cases — despite a state law that requires the filing of an annual report with county commissioners by
each June.
This suggests Ohio is basing policy on hunches, not hard data. And the consequences are costly. If programs fail to work
on lower‐level delinquents, they might graduate into the state’s kiddie prisons, where in 2015 it cost $205,000 to
incarcerate one youth for a single year.
The scant data available do show “disturbing trends,” the coalition said. Black youths make up 18 percent of the state’s
youth population, but they are 51 percent of youths declared delinquent of felonies, 61 percent of the youths in Ohio’s
juvenile prisons and 87 percent of youths bound‐over to be tried in the adult court system, where they face harsher and
longer punishments.
This patchy data also means that Ohio lacks good data on kids in justice system who are LGBTQ, disabled or from
immigrant families, the coalition points out.
The coalition has long advocated for the creation of a statewide data‐collection system for the juvenile justice system.
Its newest study confirms the helter‐skelter data collection among Ohio’s county courts and makes recommendations:
Create a uniform data form for all juvenile courts and assign a centralized entity to assemble the data.
To do this, someone at the state level should be made the point person to ensure compliance. Also, courts will need
help and the counties will need to be schooled in the importance of informing their communities. Franklin County, for
instance, does a great job collecting and analyzing data to shape policies and programs. Yet, inexplicably, the court last
year told the coalition that it had no report. It does: It’s a single page, which complies with state law.
Courts should be required to post detailed, standardized data online. Then they should use it to save dollars and
improve lives.

What you see when you go undercover at a private prison for 4 months
By German Lopez
When Shane Bauer packed his bags, he didn’t know what to expect. He wasn’t headed to a far‐off country. He wasn’t
going to a cabin or a beach. Bauer was off to work for the next four months at a private prison in Louisiana: the Winn
Correctional Center in Winnfield.
Bauer’s experience, documented in a long piece for Mother Jones this month, exposes a prison in disarray. The inmates
are violent, with stabbings a regular occurrence. The guards are demoralized — too outnumbered, understaffed, and
underpaid to create a genuinely safe environment. The facility regularly experiences all kinds of other issues, from failing
to provide adequate medical care to inappropriate sexual relationships between guards and inmates.
And the company that formerly owned the prison, Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), offered little reassurance
in answering the more than 150 questions Bauer sent them in a lengthy back and forth through email.
It was a system so chaotic and broken that it began to creep into Bauer’s mind. The longer he spent in the prison, he
said, the more he began to act and feel like a guard and less like a journalist. He felt more aggressive, finding himself
overbearingly asserting his authority while at the prison and even hoping for a fight while shooting pool at the local bar.
“It really made me realize that perhaps all of us are shaped much more by our situation than we realize,” Bauer recently
told me in an interview. “When I’m a journalist and a husband and friend and whatever in the San Francisco Bay Area,
it’s a very different context than when I’m a prison guard in Louisiana. It was impossible for me to be the same person in
those two situations.”
Bauer’s piece is really worth reading in full. But to get more details about his life as a private prison guard in early 2015, I
reached out to him by phone. What follows is our conversation, edited for length and clarity.
German Lopez: If you had to pull out one story or one example to show how screwed up this facility was, what would
you go to?
Shane Bauer: It’s hard to pick one, honestly. There are different ones that show different aspects of the result or the
consequences of the pressure to cut costs.
One thing that comes to mind is when I saw these prisoners stabbing each other in front of me. This is something that
happens in all kinds of prisons, of course, not just private prisons. But it was something that happened very frequently at
13
Winn — more frequently than in other prisons. That had to do in part with the lack of security staff, their inability to do
the security checks that they were supposed to do.
Another case comes to mind. A man jumps over two fences in the middle of the day in view of guard towers, but nobody
saw his escape because they removed the guards from the guard towers years ago to cut costs.
I also think of a man, Robert Scott, who had no legs and fingers. He lost them to gangrene. He had gone to the doctor
many times over a period of months, [which] I know from the medical records, complaining of intense pain in his legs,
his feet leaking pus [and] turning black. And he would be basically sent back with some Motrin. Sometimes they
suggested he was faking it. And he was trying to go to the hospital, but he couldn’t go to the hospital — they wouldn’t
transfer him. So he had his legs amputated.
I saw this kind of thing over and over again with prisoners with medical conditions trying to get to the hospital. I learned
later that the company has to bear the cost [of the hospital]. So it’s a major expense to take a prisoner who you’re
making $34 a day to a hospital and [get] some major operation.
GL: That seems to be the recurring theme in this story: the company trying to save as much money as possible to
maximize its profits. While it’s true that governments have a similar incentive to hold down prison costs, the for‐profit
incentive makes that more explicit. Do you think that’s the big takeaway from this story?
SB: Yeah, I do. I saw the result of these cost‐cutting measures everywhere. I mean, we were making $9 an hour as
guards. [Starting pay for public prison guards in Louisiana was $12.50 an hour.]
One of the first red flags for me is before I got there: I was doing interviews, and the head of HR told me that there was
high unemployment in this town — a town where the average income is $25,000 a year. Despite the high
unemployment, they were having a hard time hiring out staff. People didn’t want to work there even though they were
desperate for work.
The people who did work there were kind of the most desperate. There were single moms, kids right out of high school,
guys [with] a history in the military or prisons in general and had no other option. When you have people meant to
provide security being paid so poorly, it leads to really low morale. And I had guards say to me, “I am nothing but a body
for this company.” They would basically show up for work, do the 12 hours, do as little as they had to do, stay out of
prisoners’ way to avoid problems.
GL: Although the story goes into problems with the prison itself, it also seems like the prison guards are a big part of this
broken machine.
SB: Yeah.
When I went into this project, I didn’t expect that I would write about guards. The intention wasn’t to write a story
about what it’s like to be a prison guard. I became a guard because that was the only way to get inside.
But something that really surprised me was how thin the line was between the guards and the prisoners in this situation.
They’re mostly from [a] similar economic class. There was a guard I met who had seven years in prison himself. There
were guards who knew prisoners from their childhood.
There’s inevitably a lot of tension and conflict between guards and prisoners, but there was also a sense of camaraderie.
Guards and prisoners would bond over their disdain for the company; that was kind of universal. There was this sense
that we’re all trapped in this system. Prisoners would say to us, “We know you can’t change this,” when they were
frustrated they can’t get to their classes, because they were canceled. [Classes and work programs were cut and
canceled regularly, largely due to staffing vacancies.]
But we would still be locked in conflict. As the floor officer, I was the first point of contact for the prisoners. So when
they’re frustrated with our system, I’m the one they came to.
So we were aware we were trapped in this larger puzzle, but we would still enact our roles that were oftentimes at odds.
GL: It was surprising how frank inmates were with the guards, who are supposed to have some sort of authority and
power. But some of the inmates are just not afraid to tell off guards. The frankness of how the inmates treated the
guards like a joke seems striking and telling of the conditions at the prison.
SB: I definitely did not have sense from the prisoners that they were intimidated by the guards. There were certain ways
we had power over them, but we were always vastly outnumbered, and everybody knew that. It was clear that the
guards had to be careful with how they interacted with the prisoners, not the other way around. It was a very complex
web of power, which everyone is trying to navigate, and just trying to make it. But there’s not really anybody who’s
clearly on top.
GL: Those moments in which you became more of a prison guard and forgot you were a journalist really stuck out to me.
You hear those kinds of accounts from police and correction guards, in which they get absorbed into the culture. Some
14
of the guards you talked to in the story mentioned the same thing — how they were worried about losing sight of these
inmates as people. How much did that trouble you personally as you went into this?
SB: I was somewhat aware that might happen, but I had no idea the degree to which I would change.
As it started happening, it was a bizarre dynamic, because I was constantly trying to step back and write about what was
happening — mostly about how I was seeing the prison but also what was happening with myself. So I knew it was
happening, but I couldn’t stop it. I didn’t want to get into this mode of being an overbearing guard.
It really made me realize that perhaps all of us are shaped much more by our situation than we realize. When I’m a
journalist and a husband and friend and whatever in the San Francisco Bay Area, it’s a very different context than when
I’m a prison guard in Louisiana. It was impossible for me to be the same person in those two situations.
Toward the end of those four months, I ended up leaving suddenly — not by my own choice. But I was really thinking
about pulling out, mostly because of how the job was affecting me, how I saw I was changing. I had a question: At what
point is this going to be irreversible, where some aspects of this stick with me? That was scary to me.
GL: Reading your story reminded me of an investigation I did into an Ohio private prison, also owned by CCA, back when
I lived in the state. I didn’t go undercover as a guard for four months, but I corresponded with inmates and verified
details with public records requests after the state sold the Lake Erie Correctional Institution — the first time a state did
that — to CCA. I found many of the same problems you did: high levels of violence and really unsanitary conditions.
But one thing that surprised me after I published that article is the messages I got from public prison officials and guards
afterward in which they told me something along the lines of, “Yeah, this is bad, but trust us when we say public prisons
are bad, too.” And there are notoriously bad public prisons like Rikers Island in New York City and Pelican Bay State
Prison in California. So I’m curious if there’s anything you pulled from your investigation that demonstrated private
prisons are worse.
SB: To me, the point of the story is not to say that private prisons are worse than public prisons. I think there’s a unique
set of issues particular to private prisons, but like you said, Pelican Bay — I’ve written about Pelican Bay, I’ve been there.
There are people in solitary confinement for decades there. That’s not something you find in private prisons as a whole.
But the unique issues in private prisons have to do with the for‐profit incentive. There are medical issues across the
prison system, but they seem to be extremely acute in private prisons. There are some states in which CCA actually
writes into its contract that it won’t accept prisoners with serious medical or mental health issues, because of the cost.
And the staffing — there are also staffing issues across the prison system, but it does seem particularly acute in private
prisons. And that was definitely true at Winn.
Talking to dozens of prisoners about their experiences in other prisons while I was there, they would regularly tell me
that Winn was more chaotic, had less structure, fewer programs, fewer work options — that it was just thinner than
everywhere else.
There was also a time when the state took over because the prison had become so chaotic — there were multiple
stabbings in a week. The state stepped in, and the prisoners reacted to these guards from Angola [Louisiana State
Penitentiary] and other state‐run prisons completely differently. [Inmates] kind of treated us like we were a joke but
listened to these guys without any issue.
I even talked to a warden from another prison who came in and was observing, and he said to me, “This place is a joke.”
I asked him about training in his prison, which offers 90 days of training and had fitness incentives and things like that. At
Winn, we went through four weeks [of training]. He was astonished by that.
At state‐run prisons, like Pelican Bay, they have issues that are in some ways opposite to what you have at Winn: hyper‐
control, where people are potentially removed from all human interaction. And at Winn, you had people living on top of
each other, and a really chaotic environment.
GL: I know there is some 2001 data from the Department of Justice that shows that private prisons had far more
reported incidents of violence. But it doesn’t seem like there is much research being done on this, perhaps because
private prisons are notoriously more closed off to public access.
SB: It’s interesting that the Department of Justice hasn’t done a study in quite a long time, and I’m not sure why. Their
data is really useful for this kind of thing. They used to study private prisons in particular and compare them to public
prisons using data from tens or dozens of prisons.
But as far as reporting, we see private prisons come up in the news when there’s a riot. Like in Idaho, there was a
[private] prison shut down some years ago.
We hear about them at these times, but it is really hard to report on these prisons. It’s hard to get data on them.
15
You’ve probably experienced this. It depends on the state, since some states are more cooperative [with public record
requests]. But in my experience, there are some states where you can wait months or you just don’t get anything unless
you sue.
GL: Yeah. Reporting the story I mentioned earlier in Ohio, the biggest waiting period was the public record requests. I
had all these letters from inmates; then I just had to wait for months to get my public record requests filled out.
SB: I did get data from the Department of Corrections in Louisiana that was indicative about what was going on at Winn.
For example, in the first four months of 2015, while I was there, there were nearly 200 weapons found at Winn. That is
23 times more than the numbers that were reported from Angola, a maximum‐security prison in Louisiana. There were
seven times more chemical agents, like pepper spray and tear gas, used at Winn than Angola.
One thing that was interesting was that during a two‐month period, I was recording when there was a stabbing that I
either witnessed or a warden or supervisor reported it to us. I recorded 12 stabbings in this two‐month period. And I
looked through the numbers for the Department of Corrections that CCA reported — they reported five stabbings in a
10‐month period. That would suggest they were not reporting all of this. If I hadn’t been working within inside the
prison, I could have never known how violent this place was.
GL: Very often in the story, a prison guard, inmate, or you report something bad that happened at the prison, and then
CCA flatly denies it. It happens consistently. It kind of chips away at CCA’s credibility the further you get into the story,
because it’s hard to believe all the denials. Reporting this out, did you get that feeling?
SB: It was remarkable to me, the things that they denied.
But it was important for me to get their side of the story. I sent them more than 150 questions. But a lot of our back and
forth during that time, they wouldn’t actually speak to me. I wanted to interview them in person. But this was all
through email. They would word their answers to comment about my motives, and that I shouldn’t have been reporting
this out while I worked there, and that I wasn’t doing my job the way I was supposed to — that kind of thing.
L: Approaching this story as a journalist, how did you get this idea, how did you decide you wanted to do it, and how did
you prepare it?
SB: The idea came kind of randomly in conversations with a colleague one day. I just thought, “I’ll put in applications for
CCA and GEO [the other major private prison company],” on kind of a whim, honestly. I didn’t really think anything was
going to come of it. But I thought, “Why not give this a shot?” So I just went on their websites and filled out applications
with my real name and personal information.
When I started getting calls a couple weeks later, that’s when it really hit me. I started talking to people in interviews,
and the interviews were so basic. It really had nothing to do with prisons. They were generic job interviews about how I
deal with conflict and that kind of thing. It was really striking to me how easy it was to get a job — and I was in a position
of choosing where I could go.
So we switched into this mode, with my editors, of preparing, having our lawyers really look at everything, making sure
we were doing everything right, not getting ourselves in any trouble, and thinking about things like what would happen
if I got injured. We tried to work through those questions in the short time frame we had.
But at some level, there was no way to really prepare for it. I just moved there, and I was jumping into a fairly unknown
situation.
GL: So even the application process was telling. I think one person in the story said something along like, “They accept
anyone with a heartbeat and a driver’s license.”
SB: Yeah. “If you come here and you breathing and you got a valid driver's license and you willing to work, then we’re
willing to hire you."
GL: Yeah. So before you’re really getting into this story, some red flags pop up.
Did you have any idea how long this would last — that it would take four months?
SB: No. I had no idea. It was open‐ended. The idea was that if I get inside, then I stay there for as long as I need to see
through a full story.
After I had been in training for just a couple days, it was really a mixture of feelings. I was nervous still about being found
out, I was really excited that I was actually inside, and I was shocked at how much material I was getting. Every day, I was
getting stuff that would’ve been so difficult to get, and each little tidbit would have been a story that I would pursue for
weeks. So I felt like if this all unravels after two or three days, I’ll be able to write a magazine article about this already.
In that way, it felt like this was all icing on the cake after the first week. But it just kept going and going and going.
GL: Besides your story, are there any other books or articles you would recommend to people to get deeper into the
issue of prison privatization?
16
SB: There was one book: Punishment for Sale by Donna Salman and Paul Leighton. I read it going down there. That gave
me a good sense of the history of the industry side of private prisons. That was really interesting. There was also a good
story that the Nation recently published, getting into the federal contracts around private prisons. That was also more
on the business side of things.

Michigan courthouse shooter faced life in prison on kidnapping, sex charges
By Robert Allen
ST. JOSEPH, Mich. — A jail inmate who fatally shot two bailiffs and injured two more people at a Michigan courthouse
before he was killed in an escape attempt Monday faced sexual assault and kidnapping charges carrying up to life in
prison, according to state records.
Larry Darnell Gordon, 44, of Coloma, Mich., was charged in April with armed first‐degree criminal sexual conduct, first‐
degree criminal sexual conduct during a felony, felony kidnapping, felony assault with a dangerous weapon and
misdemeanor aggravated domestic violence, according to Michigan State Police records.
At about 2:15 p.m. Monday, Gordon took a gun from an officer who was escorting him to a court hearing at Berrien
County Courthouse in St. Joseph, shot bailiffs Joseph Zangaro, 61, and Ronald Kienzle, 63, and tried to take hostages
before he was killed, according to a news release from Berrien County Sheriff L. Paul Bailey. Sheriff’s deputy James
Atterberry Jr., 41, and a civilian were injured during the incident.
Gordon’s ex‐wife, Jessica Gordon, 39, said Larry Gordon did it because he feared he would never be released and
wanted to see his 6‐year‐old daughter.
“Larry was not a violent person,” she said Monday at the home they shared. “The only thing I can think of is that he was
completely terrified, and people do things out of character when they’re scared. With all my heart I believe he was
trying to get home to see Cheyenne (his daughter).”
Larry Gordon was still living with his family in Coloma after the divorce was finalized in February. Jessica Gordon said he
was living there while finding a place to live. A trailer marked “Auto Spa Mobile Detailing” was parked in the driveway on
Monday, and Jessica Gordon said her ex‐husband used it to run his business.
The criminal‐sexual conduct and kidnapping charges Larry Gordon faced could have resulted in sentences of up to life in
prison on conviction, according to the Michigan Penal Code. The circumstances of the allegations, resulting from an
incident involving Coloma Township Police, weren’t immediately available Monday.
Jessica Gordon said she spoke with Larry Gordon by phone daily, but he didn’t give any previous indications he planned
to break out.
“He probably found out how much time he could potentially be looking at and wanted to get out to see us,” she said.
“He thought he would die in prison.”
Jessica Gordon declined to comment on the April charges Monday but said she believes he’s innocent of at least some of
them. She said she still loves him and that Tuesday would have been their 10‐year wedding anniversary. She said they
had been a couple for 19 years, and Cheyenne turns 7 on Saturday.
She said he didn’t have any specific problems with law enforcement but had been in legal trouble before. State records
indicate Larry Gordon pleaded guilty in September 2013 to a second‐offense misdemeanor driving while intoxicated or
impaired and to felony theft from a building. In 1998, he pleaded guilty to felony fleeing a police officer and
misdemeanor operating while intoxicated, and in 1992 he was charged with felony unarmed robbery but took a plea
deal for a misdemeanor, according to state records.

Santa Fe New Mexican (07/13/2016)
http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/report‐number‐of‐inmates‐could‐exceed‐state‐s‐current‐
prison/article_98a2b305‐e396‐5626‐b078‐f7cab5582e43.html
Report: Number of inmates could exceed state’s current prison capacity in a decade
By Andrew Oxford
The New Mexican
17
The number of Americans behind bars is shrinking, but a new report says New Mexico’s prison population will continue
to grow and at a faster rate than researchers previously anticipated.
A new forecast by the New Mexico Sentencing Commission said the state’s inmate population will rise from 7,518 in
fiscal year 2016 to 7,663 by fiscal year 2018. In a decade, the commission expects the state’s prison population to swell
to include 8,457 inmates.
New Mexico is not the only state with a growing prison population, according to federal data. But the consistent growth
of the state’s inmate population runs counter to the national trend at a time of bipartisan interest in criminal justice
reform.
“It definitely bucks against the trend,” said Ashley Nellis, senior research analyst at The Sentencing Project, a
Washington, D.C.‐based nonprofit advocating for criminal justice reform.
Faced with the rising costs of prisons and budgetary pressures, many states are embracing alternatives to incarceration,
such as strong probation programs and treatment initiatives, she said.
And some states are scrapping three‐strikes laws and rewriting other statutes that increase sentences for repeat
offenders, according to Nellis.
“By and large, the habitual offender laws have been shown to be completely ineffective for public safety,” she said. “And
it’s too costly to incarcerate at the rate we do.”
In New Mexico, however, tough‐on‐crime policies dominated this year’s legislative session, with some Republicans
pushing stronger sentences, particularly for repeat offenders and drunken drivers.
The focus on stiffer sentences followed the killing of two on‐duty police officers in Central New Mexico in separate
incidents during 2015 and the fatal shooting of a young child during an episode of road rage in Albuquerque — all cases
that shocked the state’s collective consciousness.
Some legislators have demonstrated a willingness to cross party lines for criminal justice reform, but as Sen. Lisa
Torraco, R‐Albuquerque, said, “It was an election year.” She helped lead a panel of lawmakers that examined measures
to bring greater consistency to criminal penalties and de‐emphasize prison sentences for nonviolent offenders but said
politics got in the way of reform during this year’s session.
Describing the projected increase in New Mexico’s prison population as tragic, the senator said violent, repeat offenders
should face stiff penalties but nonviolent offenders often spend too much time behind bars — away from family and out
of work. She has pushed legislation to help transition inmates from prison into housing and jobs.
The Corrections Department has boosted the number of staff in a division formed to curb recidivism and has increased
its capacity for transitional living, but Torraco, a former prosecutor and now a defense attorney, said, criminal justice
reform is unlikely to gain traction under Gov. Susana Martinez, a former district attorney.
“One of our problems is the governor and the Legislature are not like‐minded in their thinking on criminal justice
reform,” she said. “If we do something, it will probably be under the next administration.”
The steady increase in New Mexico’s prison population and reform efforts in other states come amid a long‐term decline
in violent crime across the country, said Andrew Barbee, research manager at the Council of State Governments Justice
Center, a nonpartisan organization that provides research and consulting services to lawmakers.
Barbee says that changes in the prison populations of other states have not had measurable effects on crime rates.
“If the reform efforts in Texas and North Carolina were going to lead to blood in the streets, why hasn’t that happened?”
he said, referring to two historically conservative states where legislators have recently sought to reduce prison
populations.
Sen. Richard C. Martinez, D‐Española, co‐chairman of the Legislature’s Courts, Corrections and Justice Committee, said
lawmakers will have to figure out how they will pay for a prison system whose population is expected to swell as its
facilities age.
If the state’s prison population grows over the next decade as forecast in the Sentencing Commission’s report, it will
exceed the Corrections Department’s
current capacity. And Martinez said some aging facilities may need to be replaced.
“It’s not money that we have so I don’t know where we’re going to get it,” he said.
He called for more drug and mental health treatment options. “We’re not doing a darn thing other than to throw these
people in prison,” he said. “We talk about it, but I don’t see it.”
Contributing to the upward trend in New Mexico’s prison population is what the Sentencing Commission’s new report
describes as a “continuing, significant increase” in the number of women locked up in state correctional facilities.
18
Women constitute approximately 10 percent of New Mexico’s total inmate population, according to the report, while
making up 7.3 percent of the prisoners in state lockups across the country.
About 38 percent of women confined in the state were convicted of a violent offense, according to the report.
The number of women newly locked up for what are classified as serious violent offenses has more than doubled since
2011, although women were more commonly sent to state prisons during fiscal year 2015 for drug and property crimes.
County jails mirror the statewide trend, with the percentage of women locked up in local detention centers growing
from 12.9 in 2010 to 17.2 in 2015, according to the report.
The growing number of prisoners is not entirely due to new crimes and new cases, however. In 2014, the report notes,
the New Mexico Corrections Department changed its policies on shaving good time off of sentences — what are known
as “earned meritorious deductions.” The criteria for receiving good time is now more restrictive and emphasizes
participation in prison programs, the Sentencing Commission found.
With inmates less likely to receive good time, prisoners’ time behind bars will likely increase, according to the report.
The Sentencing Commission’s report notes its forecasts for the coming decade are based on current laws and
Corrections Department policies, which could change and affect the prison system’s population.

Sheriff’s Dept: Jail not the best place for Pokemon
By Nancy Krause
NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass. (WPRI) — Trainers hunting for different Pokemon characters have been warned: Stay away
from the Bristol County House of Corrections in North Dartmouth.
The Bristol County Sheriff’s Department on its Facebook page told players under no circumstances will they be admitted
to catch Pokemon Go critters, writing:
"Dear Pokémon Go: Right outside the jail fence is not the best place for a Pokemon. Sincerely, the Bristol County
Sheriff’s Department. PS: Reminder to the public, this is a secure facility and no one will be admitted to catch Pokemon.
No one.
That’s bad news for players, since a later post revealed Pikachu has been spotted in an outdoor staff break area at the
facility.
The sheriff’s department is one of the latest law enforcement agency commenting on the app – which has taken the
world by storm in just a matter of days.
The Cranston Police Department also sent out notice on its Facebook page Tuesday, urging residents not to game while
driving and to respect private property.

Powerful, positive story on Dallas cops
Hi Richard!
Every law enforcement agency in the country has a local newspaper with
hopefully a few reporters still left on the staff. This feature piece, written
by Manny Fernandez, printed in this week's New York Times, is a dramatic
example of the powerful, positive message that can result when you reach out
to a reporter you think has the empathy and writing skills to tell your story.
Figure out who that is, call them up and say you have chosen them for
exclusive access to officers like these Dallas cops. We feel it's best to work
with reporters in the print media as opposed to broadcast or digital. If it's
in print, it's permanent. Lots of other things can develop from a story like
this because the newspaper or magazine is passed around and talked about.
Remember, reporters are in the story telling business and no one has better
stories than you folks.
Dallas Police Are Used to Recovering From Being in Harm’s Way
By MANNY FERNANDEZJULY 13, 2016 The New York Times

DALLAS — The officer was standing in a hotel cafe here when he was asked — as he no
doubt had been asked dozens of times since Thursday — how he was doing.
He shook his head. “Second time in 13 months,” he said.
The officer was talking about what happened last year in Dallas. A disturbed man had
a brazen shootout with the Dallas Police Department on June 13, 2015, driving an
armored van to Police Headquarters, ramming a patrol car and opening fire on officers
while poking his rifle through the van’s gun portholes. That is right: Fifty-five
weeks before a lone gunman attacked police officers on Thursday in downtown Dallas,
another lone gunman attacked some of those same police officers last year at the edge
of downtown Dallas.
Both gunmen used Soviet-style rifles. Both were mobile and created confusion about
whether there were multiple gunmen. Both attacks ended in standoffs. Both gunmen were
killed by the police. Both assaults spread panic in parts of the city, caused
2
evacuations and brought a level of warlike violence to the center of the country’s
ninth-largest city. One planted homemade explosive devices, but the other may have
just threatened to plant them.
The first attack began one mile from the second. The first gunman, James Boulware,
35, was white. The second, Micah Johnson, 25, was black. Mr. Boulware, who blamed the
police after he lost full custody of his son after his arrest in 2013, fired nearly
200 rounds but did not kill or injure any officers. Mr. Johnson, driven by his hatred
of white officers, fired perhaps just as many rounds but killed five officers and
wounded nine.

But there is more: Rewind the clock a few additional months from June 2015, to
October 2014 during the Ebola crisis. Dallas was the site of the first three cases of
Ebola confirmed in the United States. The Dallas police fought that war, too, helping
to calm the first American city to contend with a widespread Ebola public-health
emergency. Officers stood guard outside apartments suspected of being contaminated,
the very places many residents wanted to get far from. That line that is repeated
3
often these days — that the police run toward danger as the public runs away from it
— applies even when the danger is invisible.
It is not just the horror of last Thursday. Not many police forces have been through
what the one in Dallas has been through in so brief a time. That officer in the cafe
came under fire last year from Mr. Boulware, just as he came under fire on Thursday
from Mr. Johnson, and yet there he was the other day, in uniform and on the job. When
people ask how Dallas can recover from the past catastrophic week, some of the answer
lies in what officers have already been through.
“It’s kind of like diamonds,” said Detective Arturo Martinez, a friend of Officer
Patrick Zamarripa, one of the five officers killed last week. “The more pressure you
get, the stronger you get, the more beautiful you are. No matter how much pressure
you put on us, we’re just going to get better.”
Detective Martinez, 29, trained in the police academy in 2009 and 2010 with Officer
Zamarripa, 32, a Navy veteran who served in Iraq. Detective Martinez said his friend
“was always down to go chase the bad guy,” one of the type of officers their peers
call “dope chasers.”

for The New York Times
He added: “It’s proactive policing. They like to go out and seek the drug dealer. He
was a protector.”
Detective Martinez attended a lunch the day after the shooting at the Dallas offices
of the National Latino Law Enforcement Organization that was organized as a way for
officers to get together, talk and decompress. He was out of uniform, in a crisp blue
shirt and cowboy boots. It had been only a few hours since he left his friend’s
bedside at the hospital. He had changed shirts. He had walked into the hospital room
and stood over the body of his friend, angry, sad, in disbelief.
“I took my shirt off and I cleaned his face off,” Detective Martinez said. “I didn’t
like all the blood on his face. I didn’t want to see him like that.”
On Monday night, Detective Martinez was part of the sea of blue at a candlelight
vigil outside City Hall. Everyone’s hands were sticky by the end of the event from
the dripping wax. Another officer, Officer Jorge Barrientos, walked up to the
detective. They embraced.

Officer Barrientos’s left hand was wrapped in a bandage. He is one of the wounded.
Officer Barrientos was with Officer Zamarripa and other officers who had been spread
out across the intersection of Main and Lamar Streets before the gunfire rang out.
Officer Barrientos, a four-year veteran of the department, chose his words carefully
and slowly.
“I took a round to the hand and I took some shrapnel to the chest,” he said. He was
about 10 feet from Officer Zamarripa when shots rang out.
“We were taking fire,” Officer Barrientos said. “I saw my buddies go down and I did
my best to try and save them and evacuate them from the scene so that they could have
a chance of surviving.”
He put pressure on Officer Zamarripa’s wounds. But he used only one hand, he said.
“I’m helping Zamarripa but at the same time, I have my gun out on the other hand,
trying to help make sure that we can stop the threat,” he said. In the chaos of the
moment, Officer Barrientos was a lot like his city.

Wounded. But fighting.

1 Report .. . .
0n the above stated date and time, this officer was working the intake/release post on 1500?
2300 shift. PSP Rockview delivered the above named individuals to be committed on violations of the
PA Crimes Code. This of?cer was searching Mr. Diakite?s wallet and found a business card many
times folded over in one of the pockets. Upon unfolding the card, an unknown powdery black
substance was located inside. I asked Mr. Diakite what the substance was he stated ?ash from a
cigarette.? I moved to search Mr Keita?s wallet and found 2 separate sewn together pieces of gauze.
I cut open the gauze and found folded paper tight wound with string in each. Both pieces of paper
- had writings on them in what I assume was Arabic. One piece of the paper had green plant shavings
inside of it that had the same consistency as marijuana. Mr. Keita was asked what this substance
5 was and he stated, ?it?s for protection.? Shift Commander was noti?ed and took possession of the
- substances. PSP Rockview was noti?ed to dispatch an of?cer to the facility to ascertain what the
substances are. EOR

vro ONDESCRI ION
I (GO ShIrk) was SittIng at my desk when Inmate Mockensturm approached me and proceeded to tell me
about Inmate Holloway being in the law library when he wasn?t signed up. I looked and did see that he
wasn?t signed up so I went and asked him what he was doing, he was writing a report for his court case
so I allowed him to be in there. Inmate Mockensturm came up to me several times within an hour after
all of this and kept telling me about him being in there and asking why he was in there, I told him it was
none of his business and he needed to drop it. He came back after that (142) and began to argue with
me and asked me so why did I get written up for being in there and hes not? I said I don?t know I didn?t
write you up when you went. And he began to argue with me and I told him this was not his concern and
he needed to walk away from my desk. The last three times I have been in here Mockensturm would
come up to my desk and begin arguing with me over the law library being used and Inmate Holloway
being in there. I have told Inmate Mockensturm on several occasions and the behavior continues. (171)

Coppola said that East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office deputies may been
among those wounded in the shooting.

RE: Marcus Port
Warden…
I spoke with inmate Port regarding this situation. He assures me he is not passing any notes ( I can only take his word for
that) and he has no idea why anyone would be saying he is. As far as he knows he gets along with all the other inmates
he works with and he doesn’t get out until October, so he’s not sure where this would be coming from. He also stated
he would like to get out of the kitchen and work for maintenance where he would be working “by himself” so to speak.

RE: S. Miller
I speak to Inmate Miller on a pretty regular basis. She has been advised a few times regarding our policy for pregnant
females remaining in B2 and not being assigned to work details due to safety issues. I never spoke to her about the
Warden discussing any possibilities with her regarding this matter.
The issues with commissary is a new development. Inmate Miller has had a hard time socializing thus far into her
incarceration. She has had several problems with inmates on the housing unit. Once I meet with her, she is usually able
to identify positive ways to deal with the situations.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Danielle.

Danielle,
Hi! I hope you are feeling better. I wanted to send this with a quick note, just in case I forget to mention it. The Warden
asked me to talk to Sherry Miller because she sent him a request slip stating that she had questions for him and he
wanted to move her away from asking him questions and have her work with a counselor (Brenda’s words from the
Warden). When I spoke with her she stated that she talked with him about switching blocks to go down to C3, and about
getting on‐grounds outside work. I thought policy stated that if a female is pregnant they are not permitted down in C3
and were absolutely not permitted to work for health/safety reasons. She seemed to think that the Warden was going to
talk with you about those possibilities?
She also said there are some issues on the block with inmates trying to get commissary from her cellmate. Her cellmate
doesn’t have a lot of money/commissary and inmate Miller, Sherry told her to not give any out. That displeased the
people who were asking for commissary and now they are bothering Sherry. She couldn’t give me any other details
except that they (the girls bothering her) will come to her cell door and try to bother/instigate something with Sherry
now. She identified at least one person as Caitlin Green. She said there are others involved but she doesn’t know their
names. I’m going to send a quick e‐mail to the Lt’s and CO Rupert et al regarding this.
I need to speak with the Warden about another request slip, so I’ll see if I can get any more information from him
regarding what she told me about Work Release.

Two Michigan Court Officers Killed, Sheriff's Deputy Wounded in Courthouse
Shooting
ST. JOSEPH, Missouri -- A heart-broken sheriff asked for prayers Monday after a
jail inmate killed two bailiffs and wounded a sheriff’s deputy and a civilian before
being shot to death inside the Berrien County Courthouse in downtown St. Joseph.
“Our hearts are torn apart,” Berrien County Sheriff Paul Bailey said. “They were our
friends. They were my colleagues. I’ve known them for over 30 years, so it’s a sad
day. This is a great community and I’ve been overwhelmed with calls in Texas
supporting us. It’s a tragedy. You never know when something like this is going to
happen.”
The two bailiffs were identified as retired Michigan State Police Lt. Joseph Zangaro
and retired Benton Township police Sgt. Ron Kienzle.

:3 Report .. .. . . .
I received a phone call from CO Love about Inmate Eric Mockensturm haVIng court tomorrow and needing to
I contact the court to postpone the proceedings Inmate Mockensturm brought all of his court documents to my
'1 of?ce to con?rm his court date of 7/12. Inmate Mockensturm stated that he just received court paperwork on
3 7/6. I called the Bedford County Court Administration Of?ce so that Inmate Mockensturm could postpone the
_3 hearing, due to not receiving the appropriate documents in a timely manner. The staff person from Bedford
Co. Court Administration instructed us to call the Centre County Prothonatary Of?ce to see about postponing
the hearing. She explained to us that a Bedford County Judge was presiding over the case due to the Centre
County DA being listed as a defendant in this civil law suit.
- The staff person at the Centre County Prothonotary stated that they sent the mail on 6/20, but the envelope
that Inmate Mockensturm had in his possession was postmarked 7/6. Inmate Mockensturm became frustrated
i and said that he just wouldn?t go to court tomorrow, and then tell the judge that ?we? refused to transport
him. He also made several statements about staff not doing their job here, and he would be seeing us in court
too. After allowing him to vent for several minutes, he returned to his housing unit without further incident.
;1 About 40 minutes later, I went to the A3 housing unit to speak with another inmate. While in there Inmate
Mockensturm requested a copy of his incoming mail log for court tomorrow. I spoke with Lt. Fisher to clarify
what our procedure was for his request. Lt. Fisher was going to speak with Deputy Warden Gordon regarding
this Issue once she was done a tour of the prison.

Public Forgiveness
If you are a currently working in a state or government career, then you may qualify for
student debt relief programs not available to the general public. The Forgiveness Program
was designed specifically to provide relief to those who are doing the most good for our
families every day. This means that nurses, policeman, firefighters and more may be
eligible to participate. Those who qualify will benefit from a major reduction in your principal
along with total forgiveness after ten years, no matter what the remaining balance.
We can help determine if you qualify for a Forgiveness Program and prepare all the
necessary documents to make sure you are eligible. It's all done with just a phone call and
your savings could be significant.
(855) 235-1160
8:30am - 5:00pm PST Mon - Fri
All of the following occupations are eligible for some form Forgiveness:

Hi,
It is a bit worn, but the saying: 'expect the unexpected', is a good foundation for supervisory
inspection. Generally, my supervisors look for compliance with jail rules, cleanliness of the
housing units, cleanliness of the cells, repair items, odors, any type of damage to the facility
(outside of normal wear and tear) and to listen to the housing officers concerns. Occasionally,
they will address an inmate issue directly but typically, the housing unit officer is the 'go to' person
2
for questions and requests (we also have a kiosk system). Also, what I do is ask the housing unit
officer if I can enter the housing unit (I want the inmates to see and hear that type of control by
the housing officer). As for the rounds or tours, at least every thirty minutes but our goal is every
15 minutes (This may not apply to special housing issues: suicidal etc.).In addition, we require the
housing unit officer to get from behind the duty station and walk around and observe the inmates,
behaviors etc. This actually works well, as the inmates now know, we are up and about.

The NIC has a great book called "Resource Guide for Jail Administrators" by Mark Martin and
Thomas Rosazza. Chapter 8 is "Jail Security, Safety and Emergency Preparedness." In that
chapter they have a good section on the question of rounds and well-being checks. It starts on
page 112 of my copy. I used their material when I recently rewrote our security rounds policy,
and it is worth your while to check it out.

Sir,
I am interested in the Lieutenant or any supervisor positions you have open on the website. I have a few
questions however; my main concern is the pay. Is there any room for a increase in the starting pay? I am
ccurrently
a officer at Adams County Adult Correctional Complex in Gettysburg, PA. I have been there from 2007 to
current. While there I have been on multiple teams to include CERT, Transport, and FERT. I also have a
diversified background to include college, military, security, and customer service jobs. Thank you for your
time.

RE: Attaching the Prison Society Quilt frame to the Wall
Hello Warden Smith,
I wanted to contact you again about attaching the quilt to the wall of the jail. As I mentioned below Bill Ebken is willing
to do the work for free. We are anxious to have this task completed soon. I think you will be very pleased with the
results.
Please let me know how Mr. Ebken can make arrangements to do the work. I would also like to mention the quilt's
completion at the Prison Board meeting this coming Thursday.
I will send you a separate email about another matter.

Hello Warden Smith,
We have completed the framing of the quilt squares and will soon be finished framing the 8 x 11 1/2 description that will
accompany the quilt. The framing was done by Bill Ebken of the Frame Factory and Gallery in State College. Mr. Ebken
has done framing for the County Commissioners as well. He did a marvelous job on our frame.
I have two questions:
1. Have you decided on a wall in the lobby yet? As you recall the quilt is approximately 42 x 68 inches (approx 3 1/2 feet
x 5 1/2 feet). It is meant to be hung horizontally.
2. Mr. Ebken has graciously offered to install the frame on the jail wall‐‐at no charge‐‐ since he has the expertise
regarding the best way to hang something of this nature. He understands the need to make it secure on all four sides,
and would be glad to consult with you about specific requirements. Mr. Ebken's email is framefactory_sc@yahoo.com
and I have copied him on this email. Can you let us know how he should go about being cleared to work on this
installation?
Many thanks,
Janet

spades. We also got totally immersed in a lively biography of Bobby Kennedy and an

Dee,
This is the PRIDE and CHOICES Power Point. Gene is Off on Vacation Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday this week. As we discussed we are going to further “TWEEK/IMPROVE” the
Attached Power Point which I will bring to the 2:30 PM Meeting tomorrow. I will include the
additional funding and programing that was arranged by the BOC through Tom McDermott and
MHID. The Judges are ordering participation in PRIDE, CHOICES and the new CROSROADS
PROGRAMS. I just want to emphasize that CROSSROADS is a properly licensed Alcohol and
Drug provider. We can, of course also use them for the DRUG Court if it is Approved.

RE: 2 hour notice without reason
Rick, I am off today and will be on the road all day tomorrow. The area I will be in has no cell service.
I will be in touch with you on Wednesday.
I believe if you look at Act 195, it shows that anyone that is being called in for an investigation should be told at
least a little bit about what the investigation is about. How are they to defend themselves if they have no clue
what is going on.
Talk to you Wednesday.

Dee,
I immediately met with Gene concerning this entire issue as soon as you asked me to do so. Gene
knows that we just added changes to the PRIDE and CHOICES curriculum. You can see these
changes in the Attached Power Point. We have been working with Penn State and have two (2)
program specialists that have been scheduled to come in October 2016 to shadow Caitlynn Neff
and Danielle Minarchick .
The result of the Shadowing and Curriculum Review will be a recommendation to make changes
to the curriculum or to totally change the programs entirely. Any and all recommendations shall
be reviewed by the Prison Board and Approved or Disapproved. I don’t know what else to say. I
can certainly be involved in the Power Point and Discussion. Pl
Please let me know how you want this handled?

Also I talked to you on Wednesday about the Choice and Pride programs. Questions came up about who created
these programs and what are the statistics of how successful these programs are. I asked that you talk to Gene.
Also that with the current ipiod issues the BOC and the Judges wanted to know what other programs we can
offer.
You need to add that to the agenda if you and Gene are ready to discuss.

Dear Regina,
We have a centralized solution that does not seem to exist in US Justice facilities.
We offer secured TV screens with added value solutions (integrated software and electronic card
to be remotely managed by the prison guard), dedicated to justice facilities
with services/applications.
Functionalities and services offered by our solution are here attached.
French prisons (12 000 cells) have our solution to avoid to enter in the cells and save time to the
prison guards but also to open/close channel programs in real time and control what the inmates
watch.
With our solutions/services, you can also have internal channels :
-Food Service / Meal ordering / Education / Entertainment / Supporting the rehabilitation process.
You can save human resources, optimizing resources and selling/offering new services, but the
most important you remotely control and manage your TV screens.
I have trusted US Partners that could deliver to you our TV screens (19'' and 22'') with our
solution; I will be pleased to give you their contact details.
Best Regards,
4

We only have antenna on the building and it only picks up a few stations. We do let them watch whatever

Planned OMSe outages
All,
I know it’s been frequent lately, but we’re still rounding out some OMSe issues that we need to resolve before we can
get an updated version for the facility. We have another 1 hour time we need to be down. We’re going to be down
tomorrow from 10a‐11a for RBA to do some work on that server. Email and other programs are not affected.
I won’t be sending a reminder tomorrow morning due to training, so please set a reminder in your calendar to save and
log out by 10a. I’ll let everyone know when it’s back up for use

All,
I will not be making the usual binders for the new hires in advance. Please print out the PowerPoints/Handouts that you
will be using. If you need assistance in preparing the materials for your day of instruction please let me know.
Facility Policies and Procedures will need to be covered. I created a checkoff list of all 83 current policies. I printed copies
of Policy 113‐Staff Inmate Relationships, Policy 124‐Standards of Conduct, and Policy 421‐Sexual Assault/Allegations.
Policy 113 and 421 will still need to be covered with Murphy on 7/13. The remaining policies will need to be covered
throughout the orientation. I’m asking that everyone pick 9 policies to cover on their day of instruction. Please cover the
policies relevant to your day of instruction and choose the remaining policies from the list so that 9 policies are covered
every day. Just initial and date next to the policy when it is covered and leave the list in the Training Office.
Also Kitchen staff requested that all meals be served in Staff Dining and that the class eats at 10:45a every day. I also let
them know that the first day may be running late due to HR Orientation/Training at Willowbank.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please let me know. I will be off until Tuesday 7/12 but can be
reached via email.
Thanks!

LE Veterans Speak Out on Dallas Horror Change
LE Veterans Speak Out on
Dallas Horror
Using Video to Reach the Members
Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Union in New York City, sent this videotaped message about the incident in
Dallas to his members. Video messages are becoming a popular way to get the message out to the members who can
easily read and watch the message on their phones.
1
Verbal attacks led to five dead, six injured
by George Hofstetter
On July 7, 2016, the verbal attacks on police in America that began two years ago led to the brutal assassination of
five Dallas police officers and the attempted assassination of six more.
The Dallas shootings are in part the tragic consequences of vitriol from an irresponsible few who seek to demonize
all cops. A common tactic when waging war is to dehumanize "the enemy" because to dehumanize the enemy makes
it easier to kill them. What we have witnessed during the past two years, since Ferguson, Missouri, is an unrelenting
verbal propaganda war against law enforcement from a handful of elected officials, professional agitators, and
others, amplified by the editorial and opinion pages of leading national newspapers and broadcast media.
Sadly, even a Supreme Court Justice entered the mix with her own hyperbolic statement about law enforcement. In
this narrative, all police officers are racists, and because of either expressed or subconscious biases, harass and
oppress minorities. Law enforcement officers are not people doing a job and protecting the community, but instead,
they are automatons cut from the same oppressing cloth.
Launched in Ferguson, Missouri with the "hands up, don't shoot" invention, suggesting a police officer gunned down
a surrendering African American man, this narrative has gripped the nation over the past two years. It doesn't
matter that this claim was proven false 18 months later during an exhaustive investigation by the United
States Department of Justice - the propaganda war had its slogan. The verbal assault on law enforcement had
already reached full throttle even before the facts of that report were released, and what actually occurred became
incidental to the false narrative of "police violence" spun by politicians, activists and the news media.
2
The notion of police as an occupying force which "routinely targets" minorities was proffered by United States
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor who penned a written assault on law enforcement claiming that "for
generations black and brown parents" have been forced to instruct their children how to act around police, "all out of
fear of how an officer with a gun will react to them." Per Justice Sotomayor, the Supreme Court's ruling upholding a
search encouraged law enforcement to harass minorities.
The nadir of this police dehumanization was reached just before the Dallas police assassinations. Hours after the
police shooting in St Paul, MN, and before an investigation had scarcely begun, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton
made the preposterous and baseless claim that Philando Castille would not have been killed if he were white. The
New York Times editorial board thundered the shootings in St Paul and Baton Rouge were part of a "gruesome loop
of episodes of law enforcement gone amok."
In the wake of this continued dehumanization and demonization of police officers, it's a small step to move from
verbal attacks to seeing on video an execution of a police officer in Dallas - when an assassin shot an officer multiple
times from behind, then walked up and fired the coup de grace into the fallen officer's head. This lawlessness and
brutality is the natural outcome of the rhetoric labeling police officers as an enemy to be hated, as was chanted by
some protesters, "Pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon."
Those who protest the loudest to "stop the violence" should look inward, as well as outward. Words have
consequences. Calls to "lower tensions" when coupled with harsh, divisive rhetoric that incites anger in
people against police in general divides communities and, as we witnessed in Dallas, have tragic, deadly
consequences.
George Hofstetter is President of the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs. ALADS is the collective bargaining agent and
represents more than 8,200 deputy sheriffs and district attorney investigators working in Los Angeles County. George can be contacted
at ghofstetter@alads.org.

We stand with Dallas
by Pat Lynch
New York City’s police officers know how it feels to lose fellow officers in a senseless, cold-blooded
assassination. We stand with the men and women of the Dallas Police Department, DART and with their families to
mourn the loss of these fine officers. They did nothing to harm anyone but instead, were protecting the rights of
others to be heard in protest.
We have said it many times before: the loss of life — every life — is a tragedy. But much of the anger directed at
police officers over the past few years has been fueled by erroneous information and inflammatory rhetoric put
forward by groups and individuals whose agenda has nothing to do with justice.
Our elected leaders fail us when they prejudge incidents without having all the facts and disparage all law
enforcement. As we go forward, we need to take an honest, hard look at everything that wrongfully inflames
emotions against police officers if we are going to be able to bring police officers and the community together.”
Pat Lynch is the president of the PBA of New York City, representing over 24,000 NYPD patrol officers.

Pat Lynch (far right in front) and NYPD PBA members travelled to Boston after the Marathon
bombing to give whatever support was needed.

Opiates &
Addiction
What is
PAStop.org?
Heroin and prescription
painkillers (with brand names like
Vicodin, Percocet, and Oxycontin)
are both opiates. They affect the
brain and body in very similar
ways. Either one can lead to
addiction and overdose.
Funded through a generous grant
from the PA Commission on Crime
and Delinquency (PCCD), The
Commonwealth Prevention Alliance
(CPA) has developed these
resources for anyone looking for
help. PA Stop is designed to educate
Pennsylvanians about the risks of
prescription painkiller and heroin
use, the relationship between
painkiller and heroin use, and what
to do when you need help.
Anyone
Can Become
Addicted.
Anyone.
Break the
Connection.
There is evidence that, as
prescription painkillers become
less freely available, heroin use
is increasing. Not everyone who
uses prescription painkillers will
move on to heroin—but many
people will.
In Pennsylvania and around the
country, opiate addiction affects
men and women of all ages,
races, and geographic locations.
Anyone can become addicted.
Anyone.
There are research-based
approaches to preventing and
treating opiate use.
Visit PAStop.org
for information
you can use.
Commonwealth Prevention Alliance
Stop Opiate Abuse Campaign
We are working to prevent nonmedical use of prescription painkillers
and, in so doing, to break the
connection between heroin and
prescription painkillers. Together, we
can stop opiate addiction before it
starts.

The United States
is in the midst of
an epidemic of
opiate addiction
and overdose.
Pennsylvania’s
over dose rate is
higher than the
national average.
?
The Problem:
Did You Know?
Overdose kills more people in
Pennsylvania than car accidents.
Seven Pennsylvanians die
every day of a drug overdose.
?
75% of young people who misuse
prescription painkillers get them
from friends and family, not
doctors.
About 3 out of 4 new heroin users
report having abused painkillers
prior to using heroin.
Although the national rate of
overdose from prescription
painkillers has flattened out in
recent years, the rate of heroin
overdose has tripled in the last
five years.
?
Prevention:
Did You Know?
There is strong evidence
that involved and supportive
parenting can reduce the
likelihood that a young person
will use drugs.
Research clearly shows that early
onset of substance use leads to
more problems later in life.
Some people are at higher risk
of addiction than others. A family
history of addiction, a mental
health condition, an impulsive/
risk-taking personality, and/or a
history of trauma are considered
to be risk factors.
Finding Help:
Did You Know?
Treatment quality varies. There
are questions you can ask that
help you find good treatment for
yourself or a loved one.
Detox and treatment are
different. Detox is the medical
management of withdrawal
symptoms. Treatment addresses
the biological, psychological and
social aspects of treatment. Detox
with no follow-up is not treatment.
There are three main types of
medications that have been
shown to help people recover from
opiate addiction; methadone,
buprenorphine (Suboxone is
a popular brand name), and
injectable naltrexone (Vivitrol is a
popular brand name.) All of which
must be medically supervised by
health care professionals.
Counseling can provide
encouragement and motivation
to stick to treatment. It can
teach coping skills and how to
prevent relapse. And, it can help
people learn how to make healthy
decisions, handle setbacks and
stress, and move forward with
their lives.

Next Steps and Closing Remarks
The U.S. is in the midst of an epidemic of opiate addiction, drug overdoses, and overdose deaths. Overdose
deaths from prescription painkillers have quadrupled since 1999 and deaths from heroin have tripled in the
last five years. There were 2,497 drug overdose deaths in Pennsylvania in 2014 and over the past 2 ½ years
there were 43 overdose deaths in Centre County.

IF YOU WITNESS SOMEONE WHO HAS OVERDOSED – CALL 911 & SAVE A LIFE
The PA Good Samaritan Law, ACT 139, provides certain criminal and civil protections for those who reach
out to the authorities for help in an overdose emergency. For the Good Samaritan Law to apply you MUST:
Call 911 or alert the authorities in an overdose emergency
Cooperate with authorities, and provide your name and location
Remain with the person experiencing an overdose until emergency services personnel arrive
To learn more about Act 139, visit www.ddap.pa.gov/overdose/Pages/Naloxone_Reversal.
Naloxone (Narcan) is a medication that reverses an opioid overdose if administered in time. A standing
prescription order from the PA Department of Health allows residents who are at risk of an opioid related
overdose; or family members, friends, or others who are in a position to assist a person at risk of overdose, to
obtain Naloxone from a Pharmacy in Pennsylvania. Additional information on Naloxone, including the
standing prescription order, can be found at the PA Department of Drug & Alcohol Programs website at
ddap.pa.gov.

WHY IS THERE
AN EPIDEMIC?
WHAT DOES IT
LOOK LIKE?
Many factors contribute to the
escalating problem of heroin and
opiate use in this community
including:
Prescribing practices,
particularly for pain
medications.
Heroin is inexpensive and
available. Since they are
similar, some resort to heroin
when pain medications are no
longer available.
Lack of available and
sufficient treatments
(including medication
assisted therapies).
Stigma – Addiction is a
chronic disease, yet treated as a
“moral failing.” This
perception makes people less
likely to seek treatment.
Pure heroin is white. Street
heroin varies in color from
white to off-white to buff to
dark brown, depending on
what is used to cut the
product. It may also be a
black sticky substance
known as black tar heroin.
Street heroin is almost
always packaged in waxed
bags that carry a “brand”
stamp.
Heroin and opioid overdoses
are the leading cause of
accidental death in PA, killing
more individuals than those
involved in fatal motor vehicle
accidents (CDC).
NO ONE IS
IMMUNE!
HOW IS IT USED?
Smoking, snorting, injecting, inhaling
Signs of Use
Fueled by a boom in
prescription pain
medicine, heroin and
related drug
overdoses increased
by 20 percent in
2014. Based on
preliminary reports
to the Pennsylvania
Coroner’s
Association, the
number of overdose
deaths in
Pennsylvania likely
increased again in
Paraphernalia
Nausea / Vomiting but also
constipation
Itching /excessive
scratching
Dry mouth
Skin is flushed
Constricted (tiny)
pupils
Feeling drowsy /
sleepy for several
hours
Foggy mental state
Slowed breathing
Slowed heart rate
Surge of euphoria,
followed by nodding
off (in later stages) –
alternating periods of
awake and asleep
Indications of Addiction
Preoccupation with obtaining,
using, recovering from use of
opiates
Lying to others to hide the
amount of drug use
Withdrawing from once
pleasurable activities
Social isolation
Bent spoons, foil
wrapped spoons, or
bottle caps (will be
burnt)
Tiny baggies or small
colorful balloons
Small glass pipes
Syringes
Rubber tubing
Cut straws, small tubes
(snorting)
Symptoms of Withdrawal
Agitation and edginess
Perspiration, runny nose
and watery eyes
Yawning
Widespread pain in the
bones and muscles
Trouble sleeping
Nausea/diarrhea/vomiting
Feeling cold and “goose
bumps”

Naloxone (also known by the brand names Narcan and Evzio) is a
medication that reverses an opioid overdose if administered in time.
Under Act 139, first responders are now able to carry this life saving
drug. In addition, individuals who are at risk of an opioid related
overdose (as well as family members, friends, or others) can obtain
Naloxone by prescription from a Pharmacy in Pennsylvania. For more
information, visit ddap.pa.gov.
GOOD SAMARITAN LAW IN PA—SAVE A LIFE
CALL 911 IF YOU WITNESS AN OVERDOSE
You can receive immunity!
IMMUNITY
For the Good Samaritan Law to apply
you MUST:
1. Call 911 or alert authorities in an
overdose emergency.
Immunity may be given
for the following crimes:
2. Cooperate with authorities, and provide
your name and location.
3. Remain with the person experiencing an
overdose until emergency services
personnel arrive.
Possession of a small
amount of drugs
Possession of drug
Paraphernalia
Violations of
parole/probation
And it isn’t just in
Pennsylvania.
Across the nation,
according to
the Centers for
Disease Control and
Prevention, opioid
overdoses have
quadrupled since
2000.
Involved and proactive parenting can reduce
illegal drug use by teens and tweens.
34.5 of Centre County youth in 6th through 12th
grade reported that they obtained prescription
drugs by taking “…them from a family member
living in my home” — not from doctor
shopping! (Centre County PAYS 2015). Lock
up your medications and dispose of unused or
unwanted drugs in prescription drug drop boxes
located throughout the county!!
Ongoing counseling and 12-step programs are
often keys to helping a person affected by
addiction in maintaining their recovery.
It is important to support your loved ones who
are struggling with addiction. Setbacks are not
unusual.

Call to Order and Opening Business – Gene Lauri
Gene called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m.
Welcome New Attendees and Guests – Gene introduced Abbey Nelson from SCI Benner
Township, Jennifer Crane from the Youth Service Bureau, and re-introduced Kate
Holmes from the PA Board of Probation and Parole. He also informed the members that
Joe Koleno left employment with Centre County. He displayed the certificate that was
Centre County Reentry Planning Meeting
June 10, 2016
Page 2
presented to Joe by the CJAB at their last meeting. The certificate commended Joe on his
work with the CJAB and the Reentry Coalit1on. Before he left, Joe asked Gene to tell
everyone in the Coalition that he really appreciated working with and getting to know the
members. He felt that what we are doing here is really important and that the group
should carry on as they have been.
PCCD Reentry Workshop Announcement – Gene received an email from the Commission
on Crime and Delinquency regarding a Reentry Workshop that PCCD (the PA
Commission on Crime and Delinquency) and the County Commissioners Association are
going to be sponsoring on September 27, 2016. Counties are being invited to attend the
workshop as a small team consisting of three to five people. Gene said that at the next
meeting they will discuss who will sit on the team. There are going to be some good
speakers, including Melanie Snyder, at the Workshop.
Additions to the Agenda – The Warden said that CATA donated a bus stop shelter and it
is going to be installed on the grounds next week. Gene said that CATA has been very
helpful with transportation options which not only helps employees in work release but
also helps families and friends without transportation visit people in CCCF.
II.
Presentation on Keystone Correctional Services, Inc. College Township Community
Corrections Project
Mark Frailey said that he works for a company out of Harrisburg called Keystone
Correctional Services and they have a community corrections center there. About 6 years
ago, Mark and an individual, Mr. Terry Davis from Keystone Correctional Services,
teamed up to try to implement a community corrections center in Centre County. There
are 53 community corrections centers in Pennsylvania, 40 of which are privately run and
are faith-based, non-profit, and for-profit. There are 13 state operated centers. Currently,
there are about 4,000 residents in the community corrections program. The centers
located closest to Centre County are in Johnstown and Williamsport. Residents enrolled
in the program are those who have completed all of the programming requirements in the
DOC, and have met all of their requirements for parole.
Mark found some property located in the industrial park in College Township. This is a
good location for the center because there are not any homes, parks, schools, or daycares
close to this location. However, it is close to transportation and College Avenue, which is
a benefit. Additionally, the property is located close to both SCI Benner and SCI
Rockview. Mark presented photos of the Harrisburg corrections center to give the
members a visual of how a center can be laid out. A community corrections center is a
secure facility staffed 24 hours a day. The staff controls the in and out movement of
residents and they cannot leave without prior approval. Each resident is assigned a case
manager who approves when the resident can leave the center and how long the
individual will be gone. If the individual does not return by the allocated time, the State
Police are contacted and the resident is considered to be absconded. Residents are
technically still in custody while at living at a community corrections center. They can
Centre County Reentry Planning Meeting
June 10, 2016
Page 3
leave for a specific purpose such as work, appointments, and church and/or church
activities. When they return to the center, they are searched and administered a
breathalyzer.
The opening of a community corrections center in Centre County would generate about
40 full-time and part-time jobs to include a full time employment specialist, cases
managers, house monitors, and supervisors. In Harrisburg, most of the staff consists of
retired police officers and corrections officers. The American Corrections Association
set some standards for the education of case managers.
In the living area of the center, there are waist high walls separating sleeping areas. Each
resident is given a bunk to sleep on, a trunk to store clothes, and a filing cabinet for
additional storage. Any belongings that do not fit in their living space get boxed up and
put in storage until they leave. Each area is constantly monitored by cameras and by a
staff member. There is a commercial kitchen, dining area, living room, and training
room. The American Corrections Association sets standards and awards accreditation to
community corrections centers that meet their requirements.
On Thursday, June 16th, they are going to meet with the township supervisors regarding
the zoning of the property. Mark said that the township supervisors have been extremely
supportive. Commissioner Pipe toured the Harrisburg community correctional center and
he is in support of the Centre County community corrections center project. Mark
wanted the Reentry Coalition to be informed of what a community corrections center is.
Mark was asked and answered a few questions.
Q: Will the residents of the community corrections center remain in Centre
County?
A: The DOC’s goal is to place people in a community corrections center that is as
close as possible to their home when they are released. As such, those individuals
may not remain in Centre County, but they will be in a surrounding county.
Q: Is there a minimum or maximum amount of time that the residents will remain
at the community correctional center?
A: There is not because when they come to the center, they are already paroled.
The average stay is about 6 months, but could be shorter or longer.
Q: How many residents will the center hold?
A: Mark said that the Harrisburg center has 150 beds. He is unsure what the
number will be in Centre County, but it will be over 100 beds.
Q: Are you going to take a certain population of sex offenders?
A: The center will not have a choice on who they take. However, the DOC is
sensitive to that issue. Paroled sex offenders will go to a center located near the
community they are returning to.
Centre County Reentry Planning Meeting
June 10, 2016
Page 4
Q: Are the residents those individuals who are close to getting out?
A: The residents are individuals who do not have a home plan when they are
paroled. Going through a community corrections center program reduces
recidivism.
Q: Are the residents under the DOC custody, or are they not?
A: These individuals are parolees that are paroled to the community corrections
center and are still under the custody of the DOC.
Q: If the individual needs treatment during their stay at the community
corrections center, who pays for that?
A: The Bureau of Community Corrections will fund it because they are still
under DOC custody. While in the community corrections center, they are not
eligible for social security disability, which can create problems for their home
plan if that is the only source of income for that individual.
Q: Will the community corrections center house females?
A: There are female community corrections centers, but the one in Centre County
would just be for males.
Q: Will the individuals being paroled from CCCF be able to be paroled to the
community corrections center?
A: No, it is just for state inmates.
Q: How long would the residents have been incarcerated before they are paroled
to the center?
A: They would be incarcerated at least 2½ years, which is a minimum state
sentence, or more.
What Mark is looking for from the Reentry Coalition with regard to the community
corrections center is for the members to just know about the facility is and what it is not.
Commissioner Pipe personally supports the project.
The Warden was confused to why CCCF parolees would not be accepted at the
community corrections center. It has been an issue at the local level with home plans and
finding an acceptable place for their parolees. Mark said that some centers that take
federal inmates and it might be possible to take county parolees as well, but it would be
up to the owner of the center and the state to determine in their contact who will be
accepted at the center. Gene explained that there is some concern with exposing lower
risk county parolees to high risk state parolees. In order to keep the low risk offenders
from becoming high risk ones, you would want to keep the two separated. If they could
keep the county inmates separated from state inmates in the center, then it might work.
Since there is a cost associated with residing at the community corrections center,
residents need to work and when they receive their paycheck, they need to contribute to

fines, costs, child support, savings, and a certain percentage of their earnings go to the

Subcommittees
A group of volunteers from the Reentry Coalition met on May 9th to go over these nine
areas identified as needing to be worked on. The goal was for the group to identify two
or three areas to be concentrated on over the next several months. This small group that
met was able to combine a few of the areas that were similar in nature and the priorities
that came out of the meeting are:
1. Reaching out to the community combined with the lack of positive support.
When the Reentry Coalition first began to meet, there was discussion about holding a
summit or a town hall meeting to raise awareness about reentry and returning citizens. It
is in everyone’s best interest to do whatever we can to provide returning citizens with the
tools to be successful when returning to the community. This is something that the group
really felt needed to be prioritized and worked on.
Centre County Reentry Planning Meeting
June 10, 2016
Page 6
2. Life Skills to include PREP Housing, Resocialization, and other life skill type
things that returning citizens would benefit from when returning to the community.
In the past two to three years, CCCF has been doing a great job at having inmates wrap
up their programming before being released. However, what are the other things that can
be done not only by CCCF, but by other organizations that would provide the returning
citizens with more information, skills, etc. to help them be successful.
These are the two primary areas that were identified to work on. The suggestion of the
group was to create a subcommittee for reaching out to the community, and the life skills
area. As such, Gene asked for individuals who are interested in sitting on either of the
subcommittees to email him. They are looking for five to six people for each
subcommittee to begin meeting within the next week or two.
Gene was asked what the process currently is to educate individuals about collateral
consequences of entering a plea. Gene said that the group discussed that area and
decided that this is an item for the CJAB to look at; it will be on the agenda for their July
meeting. By entering a plea, there may be some collateral consequences that the
individual may not even be aware of. The American Bar Association has a website that
compiled the collateral consequences for offenses by state.
IV.
Coalition Against Overdoses Update
The Coalition Against Overdoses was created out of the CJAB drug overdose
subcommittee. The heroin/opioid problem in Centre County is a big concern with the
Court, Commissioners, individuals in the treatment field, and citizens within the county.
Cathy said that in the different trainings and symposiums attended, they all talk of
addressing the issue in four areas: prevention and education, law enforcement and
interdiction, treatment, and recovery. If you do not have all four components equally
represented, then your project is not going to be effective.
Cathy talked about some of the things the Coalition and members of the Coalition have
already been involved in. She had Gene pull up the County website to show the members
what they have added to the homepage. An image from PAStop.org has been added to
the scrolling photos. Accompanying the image is the link to PAStop.org and the County
Drug and Alcohol Office. PA Stop originated from the Commonwealth Prevention
Alliance who was awarded a grant from PCCD to provide information about the opiate
and heroin epidemic, and to prepare media materials to be used across the state. On the
PA Stop website, you can access prevention information, caregiver information, print
materials, etc. PA Stop also received additional funding and they have put up a billboard
in Centre County by the Nittany Mall. Additionally, on the website there is a link to a
handout created by the Coalition that is specific to the Good Samaritan Law. The
message being communicated in that link is the importance for people witnessing an
overdose to call 911. There is also information on the handout outlining certain legal
immunities for those calling 911 and the person experiencing the overdose. Cathy
Centre County Reentry Planning Meeting
June 10, 2016
Page 7
explained that the Coalition is interested in expanding the material provided on the
County website in order to provide more information to the public.
The Coalition is also working on creating a one page resource tool, toolkits, public
service announcements, and additional materials to help bring awareness to the heroin
and opiate epidemic and what services are available. The District Attorney has submitted
a grant for prescription drug collection boxes. The boxes have arrived and they should be
installed by the end of the month. The boxes will be located where law enforcement can
securely monitor them. Community members can drop off old or expired medications to
the collection boxes with no questions asked. The locations will be at multiple police
departments, the Willowbank Building, and the Sheriff’s Office.
The draft one page resource guide was displayed to the Reentry Coalition members. The
purpose of this guide is to provide was much information on one page to individuals
regarding this issue. One topic listed on the one page resource guide talks about
Naloxone. The State Police and three Centre County police departments are now
carrying Naloxone, a lifesaving tool used when administered to a person experiencing an
overdose. When Naloxone is administered in time to an opiate/heroin overdose, it
knocks the opioid off the brain receptors and revives the individual. The laws have
changed to allow police to carry Naloxone so the first responder to an overdose scene can
administer it and reverse the overdose. A state wide prescription allows Pennsylvania
citizens to obtain Naloxone if they or someone they know is at risk of overdosing. Gene
explained that this information is important regarding reentry because when heroin/opiate
users are released, many go back to using the same dose of drugs as before they were
incarcerated, creating a higher risk of overdosing. Another good thing about Naloxone is
if it is administered to an individual who is not experiencing an overdose, it will not harm
them because nothing will happen. However, one challenge that occurs with the
administration of Naloxone is once the individual is awake and has lost their high, they
may not be happy and as a result they refuse medical treatment. Refusal of treatment
after being administered Naloxone can be potentially dangerous because the opiate is still
in the body and when the Naloxone wears off, the person could overdose again.
Cathy explained that the Drug and Alcohol office has been meeting with Mount Nittany
Medical Center to discuss specific needs and requests their staff may have serving those
who have overdosed. Additionally, Mount Nittany Medical Center is an active partner of
the Coalition.
Through Interfaith Human Services, Cathy, Kelly Aston from the State College Police
Department, and Bonnie Kline-Smeltzer, a mother who lost a child to an overdose, had
the opportunity to present for individuals in the faith community. There was a good
response and a good discussion to that presentation and Cathy is hopeful that there will
be more of them in the future.
Last September, the Drug and Alcohol Advisory Council hosted showing of The
Anonymous People, a 90 minute documentary of the millions of Americans who are
Centre County Reentry Planning Meeting
June 10, 2016
Page 8
successfully living in long-term recovery. The documentary talks about stigma, and the
barriers that many people experience as they work a path to recovery. The Council is
looking to do another showing this September. The Youth Service Bureau continues to
offer the Strengthening Families Program (SFP), an evidence based program that focuses
on building parenting skills and family relationships. The SFP has been identified by the
Penn State EPISCenter and the State to be effective in reducing substance abuse to
include heroin and opiate use.
The Coalition Against Overdoses is working on bringing awareness to the community
and creating materials to provide information regarding the heroin and opiate epidemic.
The Coalition will be hosting a town hall meeting regarding this issue on Tuesday, July
26th from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Mounty Nittany Medical Center Galen and Nancy
Dreibelbis Auditorium. Executive Director Linda Rosenberg from the PA Commission
on Crime and Delinquency, Secretary Gary Tennis from the Department of Drug and
Alcohol Programs, Representative Kerry Benninghoff, Senator Jake Corman, and the
Commissioners will be in attendance of the town hall meeting. The meeting will consist
of a number of panelists who will talk about the extent of the opiate and heroin epidemic,
followed by questions and comments from the community. The Coalition anticipates that
there will be media coverage as well. This will be the initial town hall meeting held and
will be followed by additional town hall meetings representing the four areas in
addressing the epidemic. They want to hear from members of the community who have
been affected by substance abuse and begin to get them involved.
Wendy Burket informed the Reentry Coalition that the VA is now giving two Narcan kits
to veterans who are at risk of overdosing. The veteran brings in a responsible family
member and the VA provides trainings on how to administer the Narcan in the instance
of an emergency.
With regard to the drug collection boxes, the departments are looking to collaborate with
the National Guard for collection and disposal of the drugs that are dropped off. The
collection boxes will be installed permanently at the police departments. Once the
collection boxes are installed, the plan is to then ask pharmacies to attach a sheet
containing the drug collection box locations in their prescription stuffers. Natalie also
suggested that funeral homes would be a good place to have brochures as when a loved
on passes away, is would be important for their family members to know where they can
dispose of their unused medication.
V.
Building Hope Mentoring Program Update
Danielle Minarchick gave an update on the Building Hope Mentoring Program. She
explained that the program matches CCCF inmates with an individual in the community
so when they are released, they have support in the community. Mentors were recruited
by word of mouth. Currently, there have been six matches made. While this might
sound small, Danielle said they wanted to start the program out small in case any issues
surfaced, and they could really be involved in working those issues out. They have held
Centre County Reentry Planning Meeting
June 10, 2016
Page 9
two trainings for mentors. There are still two mentors that need to be matched. There are
four matches in the community, and two matches still in CCCF. They have received
really good feedback about the program from participants. There was one individual who
returned to CCCF after being released due to a technical violation. That individual
continues to work with his mentor in CCCF. Shelby and Danielle check in with the
participants weekly. Overall, the program has been going really well.
VI.
Concept for the Future? – Reentry Office/Organization
Centre County does not have a central reentry organization. There are a lot of different
agencies in the community, but Gene said in the future it might make sense to have a
reentry organization where returning citizens could go to go through a process to receive
assistance with reentering into society. At this point, Gene has no idea how it would be
funded or staffed, but in the near future there is going to be a lot of funding for reentry
efforts.
Abbey Nelson from SCI Benner Township said that the DOC is still in the early stages of
reentry efforts and they are trying to catch up. Most institutions have transitional housing
units where once inmates receive a definite parole date, they can transfer to an institution
closer to where they will be reentering into the community. In those housing units,
inmates can participate in workshops such as life skills.
VII.
Open Floor / Open Discussion
Natalie announced that there is a taskforce that is beginning to meet to discuss human
trafficking in Centre County. They talk about if human trafficking is happening in our
community, what are the signs, what to look for, and what resources are out there if it is
occurring. Centre County has two major highways that cut through it, and there are
already known incidents where human trafficking has happened in this area. It is also
occurring because of the truck stops located in the County. This is not an issue that is
always talked about, but it is starting to be discussed some more. If anyone has any
interest in meeting with this group, let Natalie know.
Gene introduced two additional individuals in attendance, Susan Michalik and Ryan
Cummins from MidPenn Legal Services. Susan said that what drew her to attend this
meeting was HUD housing using arrest and criminal records in denying housing to
individuals. She said this is really going to be a hot topic by the end of the year. There is
suggested guidance from HUD about easing up on using those records. Ryan said that in
the past, there was a one strike policy. Now they are to look at the individual offense to
determine the specific circumstances, etc. and if someone should lose their housing or not
because of that offense.
The Warden explained that CCCF just went through a Prison Rape Elimination Act
(PREA) Audit and received 100%. This Act was created to reduce and eliminate sexual
abuse inside of correction facilities, whether it was inmate on inmate, or staff on inmate
Centre County Reentry Planning Meeting
June 10, 2016
Page 10
incidents. CCCF was the 2nd or 3rd best compliant facility in the state. Abbey said that
all SCI facilities are operated under PREA. SCI Benner Township also just received
100% on their PREA Audit.
Mark Frailey said that he was contacted by a group at SCI Benner Township called
IHOPE (Inmates Helping Our Prison Environment) and was asked to act as a liason for
the group. They want to develop a positive relationship with the community and how
they treat staff and others. The Superintendent approved for the group to do a fundraiser
to sell over 12,000 donuts from Dunkin Donuts to the inmates. The proceeds from that
fundraiser they want to donate to some community organizations, and are interested in
groups involving youth or victim advocacy. If you have any recipient ideas, see Mark.
Bonnie Millmore explained that CACJ has the Youth Aid Panel Program which is a
program for first time arrested youth. The program is run by all volunteers and they work
with up to 60 or 70 youth, but they have had an explosion in referrals. They need more
volunteers to serve on the panel, which entails coming to one meeting a month for about
3 hours. They meet with the youth and their parents, and the offender needs to admit to
the violation. Each offender is assigned a panel monitor who reaches out to them one
time a week. The monitor helps write the offender’s contract which involves apology
letters, community service, attending school, etc. Each offender then develops a project.
The program’s purpose is to keep first time offending youth out of the system. If you are
interested in becoming a volunteer, visit the CACJ website.
Betsy Barndt said that right now HUD is not forcing housing authorities into using their
suggested guidance, but she believes in the future, that they will begin to enforce it and
say that they are violating fair housing laws if they do not look at the individual’s
charges. In August the local housing authority in Centre County is going to be reviewing
their admin plan in case anyone is interested in attending the meeting to provide their
input in reference to housing ex-offenders.

CHAIR’S CALL TO ORDER/ANNOUNCEMENTS/APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Call to Order – Judge Grine called the meeting to order at 12:00 p.m.
Approval of Minutes – Gene made a motion to approve the minutes of the March 18,
2016 meeting, Tom Young seconded, and the motion carried.
Announcements
Welcoming of New Attendees- Judge Grine welcomed Wendy Burket, the new Veteran’s
Justice Outreach Coordinator; Katie Holmes from the Pennsylvania Board of Probation
and Parole; and Ms. Rider from Senator Jake Corman’s office.
Certificate of Appreciation – Judge Grine presented Deputy Warden Joe Koleno with a
Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of the CJAB in recognition and appreciation of his
CJAB Meeting Minutes
May 27, 2016
Page 2 of 10
outstanding service to the citizens of Centre County through his tenure as Deputy Warden
of the County Correctional Facility and for his work with the Centre County Reentry
Coalition. Judge Grine mentioned that he had a chance to work with Joe on the prison
work release program and said that it was great to work with him. Gene said that Joe has
been a great help not only with the CJAB, but with the Reentry Coalition from the very
beginning. Any time that information was needed from CCCF or any time a presentation
was needed by the CCCF, Joe has always helped in a timely manner. Gene also spoke
about Joe’s work and participation with the DUI Court Program. When the DUI Court
Team met, Joe would attend as a liaison for CCCF and would report on those individuals
serving the work release portion of their sentence. While Joe is going to be missed,
everyone thanked him for his hard work and wished him the best on his new endeavor.
II.
Bonnie Millmore – No report.
Joe Koleno – Joe said that he has really enjoyed his employment in Centre County and
that it is hard for him to leave. He has been employed since 2002 and he has a lot of
good memories. He has met so many wonderful people through DUI Court, MHID, and
PCCD and it is going to be hard for him to leave. He thanked everyone and said he is
excited to take his experience and knowledge, and apply it in his new adventure.
Warden Rick Smith – The Warden gave an update to the group on the CCCF population,
which is at 330 inmates. He is thankful for all of the people that he works for because if
there is a problem here at CCCF, he calls them and they authorize for the problem to be
fixed. CCCF is in a saving mode with the Courts. Secretary Wetzel imposed sanctions
on Schuylkill County and CCCF has taken 10 of their female inmates, and any other
inmate that can fit. Right now they have the need for females so we normally do not
have any more room. Northumberland County is in trouble as their facility burned down.
CCCF is helping them out by housing around 30 of their male and female inmates. Other
surrounding counties have medical issues, and as CCCF has around the clock medical,
we help those counties out. Lastly, the Warden mentioned that they are currently hiring
12 officers. After the first year of training and raises, a corrections officer at CCCF is
making about $40,000 a year. He said that there are not many jobs out there with a
comparable salary just starting out.
Commissioner Michael Pipe – No report.
Mark Frailey – Recently, the Prison Society has been really active at SCI Rockview and
SCI Benner Township. Specifically, in working with SCI Benner Township, Mark
received a letter from a group called Inmates Helping Our Prison Environment (IHOPE).
IHOPE is comprised of long-term and life sentence inmates wanting to contribute to the
community. The group has asked Mark to be a liaison. They are going to have a
fundraiser and want to contribute some money to a few local charity groups, such as an
autism group, or a child abuse and victim group. Mark asked for anyone with
suggestions to let him know. Judge Grine suggested that Kendra could see if any of the
judges have any suggestions when she meets with them. Mark said that he meets with
CJAB Meeting Minutes
May 27, 2016
Page 3 of 10
the IHOPE group on Tuesday. Kendra mentioned the Child Advocacy Center and the
Child Access Center that are here in Centre County. Tom Young suggested the Youth
Service Bureau’s JUMP Program which links juvenile offenders with adult mentors. The
JUMP Program is a subsidiary of the Big Brother/Big Sister Program.
Gladys Hart – No report.
Wendy Burket – Wendy thanked the CJAB for having her attend the meeting and become
a member of the CJAB.
Chief Diane Conrad – No report.
Sheriff Bryan Sampsel – No report.
Kate Holmes – Kate introduced herself. She is with the PA State Parole Board and is
based out of the Williamsport office. Specifically she is the ASCRA Agent and her job is
to do CBT workshops with high risk offenders, employment workshops, and reentry
oriented tasks.
Commissioner Steven Dershem – Commissioner Dershem wanted to recognize all of
those who are very active in the CIT program, specifically Tracy Small and Natalie
Corman. The program celebrated its fifth year this year. They were able to have a
celebration where Karri Hull and Jackie Weaknecht from PCCD attended. Commissioner
Dershem said that he had a special time recognizing their efforts with that organization as
they have done some pretty amazing things with CIT. Additionally, he thanked Gene for
his participation with the program. Commissioner Dershem said that they are making us
all proud. He also wanted to thank everyone who has come together to make the
Coalition Against Overdoses so effective. Commissioner Dershem is getting a lot of
feedback from the community that this is an important issue. Additionally, he welcomed
Brandi Rider, who is interested in joining in on the conversation with the Coalition.
Brandy Rider – No report.
Judge Grine – No report.
Kendra Miknis – No report.
Commissioner Mark Higgins – Commissioner Higgins wanted to thank everyone in the
group for their work as unlike other counties, Centre County’s prison population is stable
or has been dropping, which he believes is a huge credit to everyone in the room.
Chief Tom King – Chief King thanked the Commissioners for their support of Police
Memorial Week. Last week the Commissioners signed a proclamation and participated
in the memorial ceremony. He also said that Judge Oliver spoke at the ceremony and
gave a wonderful, powerful message. Chief King also said that State College Borough is
in the process of looking at enforcing marijuana laws a little differently. This will not
change the marijuana laws in the State, but they are considering whether or not they
should be charging marijuana violations as summary offenses or not. If implemented, it
CJAB Meeting Minutes
May 27, 2016
Page 4 of 10
would be an ordinance violation. They have consulted with the District Attorney,
Borough Solicitor, and the District Attorney’s Association to make sure that everything
they are doing is legitimate. Ultimately, it is up to counsel to make the decision. One of
the concerns across the state is that people with marijuana violations are filling up the
county jails. However, Chief King noted that it be very unusual to find anyone in jail on
just a first time offense, small amount marijuana case. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have
already implemented similar marijuana laws, and Harrisburg is looking at implementing
them. He said Kerry Benninghoff attended the Chief’s Meeting last month as it might
make sense to this to be a statewide change. Lastly, Chief King said that he will not be at
the next meeting in July. As such, he wanted to say farewell to all of the members. He
has enjoyed being on the board, and recognized that the CJAB has been established for
17 years tomorrow. He and Gene will discuss a replacement for his spot on the CJAB.
Karri Hull – Karri will talk about the JAG Solicitation and the Mini-Grant Proposal later
on as they are already on the agenda to be discussed.
Natalie Corman – Natalie said that the next CIT training is the week of June 13th. She
invited everyone to the CIT Graduation scheduled for Friday, June 17th at 2 p.m. at the
Ferguson Township Building. Tracy will send an email to Gene and send a reminder out.
Tom McDermott – No report.
Cathy Arbogast – Cathy said that they are tracking a few things in their department right
now. Recently, they had a surge of adolescents referred for residential treatment. She
said that there were four or five at one point, and this is very unusual given that they
normally can go an entire year and only see two or three referrals. This is concerning to
them, so they are continuing to track this trend. With regard to the Coalition Against
Overdoes being formed, she has received a number of calls from individuals in the
community who have formed their own coalitions wanting to partner with the Coalition
Against Overdoses. She has also received phone calls from individuals who want to
provide their thoughts on the topic. She also reported that they are still in the
development phases, but Community Care Behavioral Health has executed a contract
with one of their providers, Clear Concepts Counseling, for the formation of two
recovery houses. These houses would serve as a housing option for those who are in the
early stages of their addiction recovery, and for individuals wo have been in recovery for
a while but are looking for a supportive, substance free living arrangement.
Gene Lauri – Gene said that he has a few things that he will discuss later in the meeting.
Tom Young – Tom said that they have seen an uptick in individuals testing positive for
methamphetamine in their street tests. Cathy said that she has heard from Clarion and
Clearfield County that methamphetamine is making a comeback. Tom said they are also
seeing a lot of opioid use.
Mark Smith – Mark said that the District Attorney’s Office submitted the grant
application for the medication return boxes. He is unsure of what the turnaround time is
for receiving the boxes. Once the boxes are in place, the plan is to have willing

pharmacies staple a sheet containing the locations of the medication collection boxes to
prescriptions when they are filled.
Denise Elbell – No report.
III.
PCCD Update – Karri said that the only update she has is regarding the funding
announcements that Gene has on the agenda for later in the meeting. She will answer any
questions at that point.
CJAB Drug Overdose Subcommittee Report – Gene said that in the later part of 2015,
then CJAB Chair, Judge Lunsford, appointed a drug overdose committee that originally
consisted of individuals from Criminal Justice Planning, Drug and Alcohol, and law
enforcement. As time went on, more individuals joined the subcommittee in looking at
what is going on in Centre County. Several members of the subcommittee attended the
PCCD Opioid Symposium in January and following that, they really began to discuss
what can be done within Centre County to address the problem. It was decided that they
needed to do what other counties are doing and have additional entities to join the
organization. This is not an issue specific to just law enforcement, or mental health.
With the addition of other entities, the subcommittee evolved into the Centre County
Coalition Against Overdoses, and two weeks ago the group was formalized by entering
into a MOU with all of the partnering organizations that were recruited. Those
organizations are law enforcement, Criminal Justice Planning, Mental Health, Drug and
Alcohol, Children and Youth Services, the Youth Service Bureau, County
Commissioners, etc. The goal of the Coalition is to reduce or eliminate the drug abuse,
drug overdoses, and drug overdose related deaths within Centre County. In 2014, there
were 16 overdose related deaths in Centre County; and in 2015, there were 15.
To date, the Coalition Against Overdoses has already implemented a few prevention
approaches. An application for drug collection boxes was submitted by the District
Attorney’s Office. When the boxes are in place, they will help to keep prescription drugs
from falling into the wrong hands and keep them off the street. On the Centre County
website homepage, a PA Stop ad stating that, “anyone can become addicted,” is displayed
with the link to the Centre County Drug and Alcohol Office’s website, and the link for
the PA Stop website. That website is sponsored by the Commonwealth Prevention
Alliance and has information about finding help, prescription drug FAQs, and a caregiver
toolkit. The PA Stop website is a great source for individuals who are looking to obtain
more information about addiction or help. There is another link listed on the County’s
homepage with information about Act 139, labeled as the Good Samaritan Law, which is
a law encouraging individuals to call 911 when witnessing an overdose without fear of
facing legal charges.
The PA Stop website also offers various media products that can be downloaded and
printed out. They would like to have some of these materials printed with information on
where to seek help in Centre County. The Coalition would like to obtain approval from
the CJAB to apply for funds through a PCCD mini grant to pay for materials to distribute
CJAB Meeting Minutes
May 27, 2016
Page 6 of 10
and display throughout the county. There materials would include a brochure about the
opioid/heroin problem, posters, and the creation of a public service announcement.
The Coalition has tentatively scheduled a town hall meeting for Tuesday, July 26th from 7
p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Dreibelbis auditorium at Mount Nittany Medical Center. They are
still in the planning stage, but will have more information available as they proceed.
Chief Conrad said that she is really appreciative of the Coalition as many people believe
that the heroin/opiate problem is just a law enforcement issue, which it clearly is not.
Law enforcement is trying to do their part, but they can only do so much. The
investigations are long and complicated, and there is no way they can keep drugs
completely out of the community. However, she said that law enforcement members
have really stepped up with the creation of the County Drug Task Force; and the State
Police are doing an awesome job with intervention on Interstate 80.
Chief Conrad said that through the Coalition they discovered the overdose deaths include
older individuals who became addicted to opioids prescribed by their doctor. When the
opioids were no longer being prescribed, they turned to heroin. It is a very insidious
problem, and we are going to be dealing with it for a long time. There is pressure and
many questions coming from the community wondering what we are doing. Given that
the Coalition just began meeting in late 2015, Chief Conrad feels that they have moved
along very fast. They have obtained some professional advice from some individuals at
Penn State, which has been very helpful. The Coalition is encouraging everyone to refer
individuals to the County website to obtain more information, and they are going to
continue to get as much information out to the community as they can. Within the next
few months, individuals will begin to see more information being provided to the public.
Cathy said the Drug and Alcohol Office is working with their treatment providers as a
number of them are looking to expend bed capacity. They recognize that speaking with
individuals who are ready to seek treatment that the window of opportunity is not big.
We need to get our system to the point where those people are able to access treatment as
soon as they are ready. The Drug and Alcohol office is also working on putting together
some materials that can be distributed by law enforcement and emergency workers
informing how people can access services when they are ready. The Department of Drug
and Alcohol Programs has made survivors of an overdose a priority population for
services. As such, the Drug and Alcohol Office will be doing what they can to get them
into the treatment that they need. They are also making case management and recovery
services available because this is an important component in helping people stay clean.
Cathy explained that the Coalition has a Technical Assistance Application in with the
University of Pittsburgh to help with the Coalition project. A conference call is
scheduled with them for the next Coalition meeting. They are trying to make as many
opportunities, options, and strategies available as they can.
Gene displayed for the group a sample PA Stop brochure with information about the
prescription drug and heroin problem. The brochure has the County Drug and Alcohol
Office’s information listed on the back of it. He also displayed the posters that the
coalition wants to have printed. The posters will have the Drug and Alcohol Office
CJAB Meeting Minutes
May 27, 2016
Page 7 of 10
website listed on it. Cathy mentioned that there are already some PA Stop Billboards in
Centre County. They are still trying to figure out who sponsored them, but Cathy
believes that PA Stop received another grant and they are trying to broaden their media
reach. There is one billboard located not far from the Drug and Alcohol Office, and there
is one located on 322 before you come over Seven Mountains.
Cathy said the Coalition recognizes that they need to bring in some additional partners
who either have life experience, have been successful in recovery, and/or are family
members who experienced addiction. They would like to have them assist in identifying
what the needs are in Centre County, or what they would find helpful in bringing changes
about. Diane explained that there has been some discussion about bringing in other
partners such as the schools, and additional health care providers. Mount Nittany Health
is already a Coalition partner.
It was mentioned that a lot of stigma still remains around addiction. A lot of the
Coalition’s efforts are going to be aimed at reducing stigma and raising awareness that
people are becoming addicted unintentionally. The image people used to have about
what a heroin addict looks like is not what it is now.
Commissioner Dershem said that the important goal for the town hall meeting is to try to
make people aware of the prescription drug and heroin problem in Centre County. A lot
of community members do not understand the dynamic of the problem. Many think it is
an intercity problem, and not in Centre County. We need an all-hands on deck approach
to make people aware that prescription drugs can be the start of an addiction. It is a
multi-dimensional problem that whether it is a place to dispose of medication, or the
identification that heroin is a more pervasive problem than it was in the 1960s, he feels
that we need to get that word out to the community and remove the stigma. This is not
just a youth problem; it is a problem that affects even those who have medical procedures
and become addicted to pain medicine. The big push he has seen is to get people to
understand that the problem is in our community. It is something we need to address and
have conversations about it.
Bonnie asked if there are any evidence-based practices that have been proven to work in
preventing prescription drug and heroin abuse. Cathy explained that they have met with
the Penn State EPISCenter and they are looking at strategies that show the most promise
for being effective. There are certain curriculums on the prevention side such as the
Strengthening Families Program and Life Skills Training, both of which have been
proven to be effective in communities where these issues are going on. They also talked
about some strategies on the intervention side such as the use of drug collection boxes,
medication assisted therapies, making Narcan available, and prescription drug monitoring
programs. In August, the prescription drug monitoring program should be in effect in
Pennsylvania. One of the concerns with the prescription drug monitoring program is that
if physicians and pharmacies are starting to track people who doctor and pharmacy shop
and obtain multiple prescriptions, then cracking down on them, we may see a surge in
heroin usage because it is cheaper and more easily accessible; or we may see a surge in
individuals seeking treatment because they are no longer able to obtain what they had
been taking. All of those these strategies are something that the Coalition has looked at,
talked about, or are considering. What works in another county may not work in our

county, but it all needs to start with a conversation. Commissioner Dershem said on the
opposite side of looking at evidence-based practices, there are a few programs that have
been identified as not working - Scared Straight and the D.A.R.E. Program in its original
form. There needs to be more to the message than, “just say no,” so there needs to be
new programs developed. There is not a quick fix or solution or one that removes the
problem 100%.
Chief King said that he has a few members of the community pushing really hard to do
something while everything else is taking form. One of those individuals is a State
College restaurant owner who has asked if he can meet with the President Judge to voice
some of his concerns. Another individual is a mother who lost her only child to an
overdose. She has emailed various members of organizations about being able to talk
about her concerns as well. Chief King spoke with Judge Kistler and it is on Judge
Kistler’s calendar to meet with these individuals on Tuesday of next week. Chief King
has seen this restaurant owner a few times, and every time he expresses concern about
how heroin seems to be very prominent in the food business to include the chefs and
servers. The restaurant owner has lost three employees in the last three years to heroin
overdoses. He has walked in on some of his employees shooting up heroin in the
bathrooms of his businesses. To be successful, we are going to need to listen to those
who are affected by the drug abuse issue. Chief King said the way to tackle any issue is
through education, as the Coalition is doing; environment, such as installing drug
collection boxes; and enforcement, which gives the message that certain behaviors are
not acceptable in Centre County.

OLD BUSINESS
April 12 – 13 CJAB Conference – Summary Report
In April, a number of CJAB members attended the CJAB Conference. If you go to the
PCCD website, there is a link for the CJAB conference. This link brings up a number of
presentations from the conference. Gene recommended that the members of the CJAB
take a look at the What Works and What Doesn’t in Reducing Recidivism presentation by
Dr. Ed Latessa from the University of Cincinnati.
V.
AGENDA ITEMS
Therapeutic Court Discussion
Judge Grine said that he took over the DUI Court after Judge Lunsford retired. He is just
amazed at how the DUI Court runs and the impact it is having on the individuals
involved. The participants are maintaining sobriety, reconnecting with their families, and
obtaining jobs. With these therapeutic courts, it is a lot more time intensive for the
judges, participants, and staff but they all work together to get the best results. From the
Court’s standpoint they see a lot of issues with the use of prescription and nonprescription drugs, alcohol, and mental health. They do have the DUI Court, but Judge
Grine believes that if they expand out into a drug court and mental health court, it will
have a huge impact on people who are coming through the court system. What he is
seeing now is that there are a lot of individuals with drug issues who end up in jail, do
CJAB Meeting Minutes
May 27, 2016
Page 9 of 10
programming at the jail, and then when they are released they go back to the same
environment and end up in trouble again. Judge Grine moved to create a therapeutic
court committee to have individuals look at the possibility of such courts implemented in
Centre County. The motion was seconded and as no one opposed, the motion passed.
The members of the committee will consist of those individuals who met to look into
grant funding.
2015 – 2016 JAG Single Solicitation for Local Initiatives
Gene said that the JAG Grant application deadline is June 24th. At this time, we are not
ready to apply for funding to start a therapeutic court. A group met to discuss the grant
and thought that we should put together a proposal for some funding to help us decide
that type of therapeutic court would work best for Centre County, and obtain a
professional opinion on the feasibility, number of potential clients that would be referred
to that court, and what type of staffing it would require. The other part of having a
therapeutic court is having the infrastructure for it to work. DUI, drug, and mental health
courts have all been proven to be effective as long as they are operated the way they are
intended, which is a key component. It is necessary to have the proper resources and
staff. Gene suggested a proposal should be put together and presented to the CJAB and
the Commissioners to apply for funding to do an assessment on what we need to do in
terms of a therapeutic court. Gene said that we need to get a handle on the numbers to
determine how many people come through who would be eligible for the therapeutic
court.
Tom McDermott took a moment to advocate for a drug and/or mental health court as he
has done a lot of outreach to other counties who have some kind of behavior health court.
Those counties all said that the initial startup of the court is a little hard for about a year,
but once things begin to level off, they all said that it is time and resources well spent.
A motion was made to prepare a proposal to apply for funding to look at the therapeutic
court. The motion was seconded and as no one opposed, the motion passed. The
members of the committee would consist of those individuals who attended a meeting on
looking into grant funding.
2016 – 2017 CJAB Mini-Grant Proposal
Gene would like approval from the CAJB to put together a grant proposal for funding
through the PCCD Mini-Grant to print media materials for the Coalition Against
Overdoses. The proposal that has been put together is for around $1,100. Commissioner
Higgins made a motion for putting the grant proposal together and submitting it to
PCCD. Anne seconded the motion. It was voted on and the motion passed.
VI.
OPEN DISCUSSION
Anne wanted to let the CJAB know that the Women’s Resource Center is applying for
JAG funding to do a comprehensive top to bottom review of their services, including
their branding; then subsequently hire someone to provide outreach and direct services to
male victims. This is an issue that they have struggled with over the years and they need
CJAB Meeting Minutes
May 27, 2016
Page 10 of 10
to handle that in a comprehensive way. Anne stated that the JAG grants are nice because
they are not a formula grant so there can be more than one application from within a
county, and they are great for helping get new initiatives off the ground. Anne said they
will be asking for a local jurisdiction waiver from the Commissioners since they are not a
governmental agency and it is a requirement for the application. She also would like to
have the support of the CJAB. A motion was made to have the CJAB support the
Women’s Resource Center in the application. The motion was seconded. Before voting,
Commissioner Pipe wanted to confirm that the Women’s Resource Center’s JAG grant
application would not invalidate the CJAB’s application for JAG funding. Karri said that
as long as they are not under the same objective that it would not invalidate it. She
suggested that they double check and make sure of this because if PCCD receives two
applications from the same county that fall under the same objective, both applications
are automatically rejected. Anne said that she will speak with Gene to make sure of this.
With this information, Chief King amended his motion stating that it stands as long as the
WRC’s application does not invalidate the CJAB’s application. Tom Young seconded
the amended motion. It was voted on and the amended motion passed.
VII.
VIII. ADJOURN
Gene made a motion to adjourn the meeting. It was seconded, and the meeting adjourned
at 1:03 p.m.

5 Slain Dallas Officers
Served Overseas and at Home
The New York Times
By ALAN BLINDER and ALAN FEUER JULY 8, 2016
From left, Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol, Michael J. Smith, Brent Thompson and Patrick Zamarripa.
DALLAS — On Thursday night, around the time the gunfire started, Kristy Villasenor, the wife of a Dallas police
officer, posted a picture of herself and her toddler daughter on Facebook from a Texas Rangers baseball game at
Globe Life Park in Arlington.
2
Soon after, one of her friends commented anxiously on the photo: “Glad Pat is there and not in Dallas right now.”
Ms. Villasenor replied: “He’s not here.”
Pat — her husband, Officer Patrick Zamarripa — was in Dallas during the game, caught in the crosshairs of a sniper’s
rifle that would eventually claim his life and those of four other officers.
The news of the killings emerged almost in real time online. At 10:53 p.m., the Dallas Police Department posted a
Twitter message announcing that 10 officers had been shot during a protest rally, three of them fatally. Twenty
minutes later, a second message said that a fourth officer had been killed. Then, after midnight, there was a third: “It
has been a devastating night. We are sad to report a fifth officer has died.”
By Friday afternoon, the full scope of the city’s losses was clear: At least two of the slain officers had served overseas
in the military, only to die back home in Texas. A third had made his way to Dallas after working at a jail outside
Detroit. A fourth was a large man — about 6-foot-5 — who had the semblance of a grizzly bear, according to a friend.
The fifth was a standout on Dallas’s large, modern force: The local police association had named him the “Cops’ Cop”
for February 2009.
As condolences for the men poured in all day on Friday — from the governor to the secretary general of the United
Nations — details of the officers’ lives started to emerge. “We’re hurting, our profession is hurting,” said David O.
Brown, the Dallas police chief.

Department Headquarters.

The first officer to be identified was Brent Thompson, 43, who worked for the police force of Dallas Area Rapid
Transit, which operates trains and buses in the region. Mr. Thompson, the first DART officer to die in the line of
duty, joined the transit force in 2009 and patrolled the northwestern section of the transit system, according to his
LinkedIn page.
Before Dallas, he worked for DynCorp International as a police liaison officer and helped train fellow officers in
Afghanistan and Iraq. He had also been a police academy instructor in Corsicana, Tex., southeast of Dallas, where he
attended high school.
He started in law enforcement in the Navarro County sheriff’s office, where he was assigned to the county jail, said
Leslie A. Cotten Sr., the former sheriff. But like most young officers, Mr. Cotten said, “he wanted to get out on patrol
and ride around in a patrol car and do a different job.”
4
Family members, writing on Facebook, were the first to publicly identify Mr. Zamarripa, a seven-year veteran of the
Dallas force who had spent time in the Navy and served tours in Iraq as a military policeman. His Navy records
released on Friday showed that he enlisted in 2001 and had also been posted in Florida, Illinois, Texas, Virginia and
Bahrain.
When he finished his military service, Mr. Zamarripa, a fan of the Rangers and the Dallas Cowboys, returned to the
Dallas area and joined the Police Department, said his uncle, Hector Zamarripa. He lived in the Fort Worth area
with Ms. Villasenor and their 2-year-old daughter, Lyncoln. He also had a stepson, his uncle said.
On Friday afternoon, the National Latino Law Enforcement Organization — Mr. Zamarripa was a member — held a
somber lunch for grieving supporters.
“A good kid, man, a good young kid,” said Sgt. George Aranda, who runs the organization. “He loved his job. I talked
to his mom last night, and even his mom said this was Patrick’s dream. This is what he wanted to be, a police
officer.”
The day after a shooting that left five officers dead, Gov. Greg Abbott commended the work of the
Dallas Police Department and Dallas Area Rapid Transit officers.

The third slain officer was Michael Krol, 40. Before moving to Dallas, Mr. Krol had served in the Wayne County,
Mich., jail system from 2003 to 2007, said the county sheriff, Benny N. Napoleon. Two of Mr. Krol’s relatives
declined to be interviewed on Friday.
A fourth officer, Lorne Ahrens, was married to a Dallas police detective and regarded as a lawman devoted to the
profession that he pursued in Dallas for more than a dozen years.
“There are very few officers I’ve met who are more passionate about doing the job right than that man,” said
Timothy S. Rodgers, a former prosecutor in Dallas County. “He was always calling me. He always had questions like,
‘What can I do better in this situation?’ ”
Mr. Ahrens had worked in patrol and on property crimes. Mr. Rodgers recalled with a chuckle that his friend had a
knack for finding criminals who would challenge him, despite his hefty size.
The fifth slain officer was Michael J. Smith, who joined the Police Department in September 1989 after growing up
in the southeastern corner of the state. In a publication acknowledging his Cops’ Cop award, the Police Association
said that Mr. Smith held an array of posts: in personnel, on patrol and at the airport. The publication also said he
had been injured on duty years ago when a gang member “lunged at his partner with an unknown object in his
hand.”
At a news conference on Friday morning, Mayor Mike Rawlings stood beside Chief Brown and said: “To say that our
police officers put their lives on the line every day is no hyperbole, ladies and gentlemen. It’s a reality.”
A few hours earlier, the department had posted yet another Twitter message: “Thank you to the members of our
community for your show of support during this difficult time.”
Alan Blinder reported from Dallas, and Alan Feuer from New York. Manny Fernandez contributed reporting from Dallas.

voices and saw inmate Glover come out of his cell shove inmate Reed and yell ?let?s go Reed, ya
wanna go.? Inmate Reed then stated something and I yelled at both inmates to lock in. Inmate.
Glover continued to yell but locked in. I then spoke with inmate Reed and he told me that Inmate
Glover threw the cup at him, then went and shoved Inmate Fox twice and Inmate McGrory actually
had to step between them. Then Inmate Reed jokingly asked inmate Glover why he threw the cup
and inmate Glover then threw lotion at him and that?s when he came out of the cell and shoved him.
After locking the inmates in, I noti?ed the shift commanders, Lieutenants Jeirles and Mendez.

glanced down and read the top part of the letter. It stated they just got out on the streets and were
given ?ve years probation. The return address states it?s from Tiffany Guzman but it is clearly seems
to be from a male by how the letter is written. The letter was not given to Inmate Lemin.

We conduct one intermittent round every hour regardless of day or night.
During the round, my officers are trained to look for changes in the environment, contraband, and
living breathing flesh especially on night rounds. Inmates are instructed that they cannot cover
themselves completely so we can see their faces. I allow sleep masks to be purchased and I
supply them for indigent inmates.

-----------------------------Hi Thomas,
Here are our two policies from Broomfield, CO. We are a 224 bed Direct Supervision Facility. The directives
cover what I expect my staff to be looking for. Otherwise, we conduct 30 minute checks on our Work Release
and all General Population Inmates. 15 minute checks on our Ad Seg and Intake Inmates. Lastly we conduct
15 min or in some cases 5 minute checks for suicidal inmates.
Take Care,
Shawn

Also I talked to you on Wednesday about the Choice and Pride programs. Questions came up about who created
these programs and what are the statistics of how successful these programs are. I asked that you talk to Gene.
Also that with the current ipiod issues the BOC and the Judges wanted to know what other programs we can
offer.
You need to add that to the agenda if you and Gene are ready to discuss.
Thanks

CO Hook – 6am
Lt. Mendez – Immediately following CO Hook
Lt. Millinder – 3:30pm
Lt. Allen – Immediately following Lt. Millinder
Wednesday 7/13
Deputy Warden Gordon – 9am

Wardon Smith,
Thank you for your email and schedule of CCCF staff interviews for our assignment.
All scheduled interviews are acceptable except as follows: The only requested change to the schedule submitted is on
Tuesday, July 12 for CO Buckley at 1PM, CO Hampton – immediately following CO Buckley and Lt. Millinder at 3PM. The
interview with Lt. Allen can remain as scheduled. Per our conversation yesterday, the only conflicts on my schedule were
at 1PM on Tuesday July 12 for approximately two plus hours and on Friday, July 15 at 10AM for one plus hour.
On Tuesday, July 12, I can be at the CCCF by 3:30PM to start interviewing. We could schedule Lt. Millinder at 3:30PM
(instead of 3PM) and Lt. Allen immediately following Lt. Millinder. If CO Buckley and CO Hampton are not able to
reschedule after CO Allen on Tuesday, can they be scheduled on Thursday, July 14 or Friday, July 15?
The Tuesday, July 12, morning interviews are good and the Wednesday, July 13 interviews, in total are good.
Thank you for your assistance in arranging the re‐schedule for the above interviews with CO Buckley, CO Hampton and
possibly, Lt. Millinder.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey M. Krauss

Warden,
With the names/times you provided me last evening, I recommend the following interview times for Mr. Krauss:
Tuesday 7/12
CO Hook – 6am
Lt. Mendez – Immediately following CO Hook
CO Buckley – 1pm
CO Hampton – immediately following CO Buckley
Lt. Millinder – 3pm
Lt. Allen – Immediately following Lt. Millinder
Wednesday 7/13
Deputy Warden Gordon – 9am
13
Lt. Woods – Immediately following DW Gordon
Lt. Jeirles – 3pm
CO Shawver – immediately following Lt. Jeirles
Lt. Fisher – immediately following CO Shawver
CO Hook and Lieutenants Mendez and Allen are the most difficult to catch due to being 11‐7 shift standardly. Tuesday
7/12 we have a training day where schedules will have them in at times closer to business hours, which is why I
recommended them there.
Everyone else is recommended where we have two Lt coverage so the shift is covered while one is tied up, and officers
so that CO meals are completed and reliefs are available to relieve them.

In support of our fellow officers...
Dear Richard,
The events of the last couple of days involving our law
enforcement brothers and sisters are tragic, as well as a
reminder of the difficult and dangerous job our community
performs each day to keep our citizens safe.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of
the officers who died and those who were wounded in the
attack in Dallas last night. Words alone cannot express the
sorrow and hurt we all feel for the attack on those who serve in
law enforcement.
We join with others in the law enforcement community in a call
for calm as we work toward finding lasting solutions for law and order in this country.
Thank you for your service.

mowers
Good day
I would like for the outside workers to clean mowers off and wash them also. They can pull
them in the grass by the building to do this. If they want they can cut the grass first then wash.
Keep blades up on four inches so the only thing they cut is weeds and buck wheat grass which
is high.
Thank you
Leonard

Housing Inmates
At the start of your shift when you are working a housing unit, please check your housing report on OMSe to make sure
inmates are housed properly. This is to include inmates currently housed in holding cells (Intake, CBC). This has been an
ongoing issue. Housing inmates properly is very important in the event of an emergency or when headcount is not
clearing.. If you need someone to show you how to find the housing report or house an inmate on OMSe ask your Shift
Commander or another Officer.

Wardon Smith,
Thank you for your email and schedule of CCCF staff interviews for our assignment.
All scheduled interviews are acceptable except as follows: The only requested change to the schedule submitted is on
Tuesday, July 12 for CO Buckley at 1PM, CO Hampton – immediately following CO Buckley and Lt. Millinder at 3PM. The
interview with Lt. Allen can remain as scheduled. Per our conversation yesterday, the only conflicts on my schedule were
at 1PM on Tuesday July 12 for approximately two plus hours and on Friday, July 15 at 10AM for one plus hour.
On Tuesday, July 12, I can be at the CCCF by 3:30PM to start interviewing. We could schedule Lt. Millinder at 3:30PM
(instead of 3PM) and Lt. Allen immediately following Lt. Millinder. If CO Buckley and CO Hampton are not able to
reschedule after CO Allen on Tuesday, can they be scheduled on Thursday, July 14 or Friday, July 15?
The Tuesday, July 12, morning interviews are good and the Wednesday, July 13 interviews, in total are good.
Thank you for your assistance in arranging the re‐schedule for the above interviews with CO Buckley, CO Hampton and
possibly, Lt. Millinder.

RE: HR Office interviews
Wardon Smith,
Thank you for your email and schedule of CCCF staff interviews for our assignment.
All scheduled interviews are acceptable except as follows: The only requested change to the schedule submitted is on
Tuesday, July 12 for CO Buckley at 1PM, CO Hampton – immediately following CO Buckley and Lt. Millinder at 3PM. The
interview with Lt. Allen can remain as scheduled. Per our conversation yesterday, the only conflicts on my schedule were
at 1PM on Tuesday July 12 for approximately two plus hours and on Friday, July 15 at 10AM for one plus hour.
On Tuesday, July 12, I can be at the CCCF by 3:30PM to start interviewing. We could schedule Lt. Millinder at 3:30PM
(instead of 3PM) and Lt. Allen immediately following Lt. Millinder. If CO Buckley and CO Hampton are not able to
reschedule after CO Allen on Tuesday, can they be scheduled on Thursday, July 14 or Friday, July 15?
The Tuesday, July 12, morning interviews are good and the Wednesday, July 13 interviews, in total are good.
Thank you for your assistance in arranging the re‐schedule for the above interviews with CO Buckley, CO Hampton and
possibly, Lt. Millinder.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey M. Krauss

Warden,
With the names/times you provided me last evening, I recommend the following interview times for Mr. Krauss:
Tuesday 7/12
CO Hook – 6am
Lt. Mendez – Immediately following CO Hook
CO Buckley – 1pm
CO Hampton – immediately following CO Buckley
Lt. Millinder – 3pm
Lt. Allen – Immediately following Lt. Millinder
Wednesday 7/13
Deputy Warden Gordon – 9am
Lt. Woods – Immediately following DW Gordon
Lt. Jeirles – 3pm
CO Shawver – immediately following Lt. Jeirles
Lt. Fisher – immediately following CO Shawver
CO Hook and Lieutenants Mendez and Allen are the most difficult to catch due to being 11‐7 shift standardly. Tuesday
7/12 we have a training day where schedules will have them in at times closer to business hours, which is why I
recommended them there.
Everyone else is recommended where we have two Lt coverage so the shift is covered while one is tied up, and officers
so that CO meals are completed and reliefs are available to relieve them.

To Dallas: Our Hearts Are Breaking
Here's a message that Tom Dominguez, president of the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs in
California sent out about the tragic situation in Dallas. He asked if we would send it to everyone on our
email list. If your agency would like to send a similar message directly to all the officers with the Dallas
Police Dept. please send it to me and I will make sure they receive your message. I will post your message
on our website and perhaps in the pages of American Police Beat.
- Cynthia Brown, Publisher
American Police Beat
To Dallas: Our Hearts Are Breaking
Our hearts are collectively breaking as the tragedy
at a protest over officer-involved shootings in
Dallas continues to unfold. Four Dallas-area police
officers were assassinated at the protest by at least
one sniper and at least another seven officers had
been shot, according to a statement released this
evening by the Dallas Police Department. Several of
the injured officers were in critical condition,
according to department officials.
The situation is extremely fluid and we have yet to
learn of the totality of the casualties suffered.
What we do know is these officers were killed and
injured simply for the badge they pin over their hearts.
They were doing their job – maintaining law and order and keeping their
12
community safe. In doing their jobs these true public servants laid down their
own lives.
We mourn the loss of our fellow officers and their surviving family members
and pray for their loved ones and the people of Dallas as they struggle to
understand.
We urge you to stay extra vigilant during the coming days. Watch your back.
Watch your partner’s back. Stay safe and keep Dallas in your prayers.
Respectfully,
Tom Dominguez, President
Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs

Pennsylvania State & County Corrections
State
Scranton Times‐Tribune (07/08/2016)

Education cuts prison costs
By the Editorial Board
Each government budget is the most definitive of policy statements. What politicians say does not define their priorities
as well as what they fund.
As Pennsylvania lawmakers fumble another state budget, the U.S. Department of Education points out that in the
commonwealth, as in every other state, public spending on corrections has risen at a far faster rate than spending for
basic and higher education.
From the 1980 through 2013 fiscal years, public basic education spending rose by 107 percent nationwide — from $258
billion to $534 billion — while state and local corrections expenditures nationwide rose by 324 percent, from $17 billion
to $74 billion. Nationally, per‐student spending rose by 73 percent over the period while per‐inmate spending rose by
185 percent.
Over the same period, the adult population of the United States rose by 49 percent but the incarceration rate rose by
345 percent. The number of school‐aged children increased 13 percent and public school enrollment increased 20
percent.
In Pennsylvania over the period, the rate of increase for corrections spending was 247 percent higher than for education
spending.
The DOE measured a different period for higher‐education funding. From the 1990 through 2013 fiscal years, total state
and local spending for higher education increased by about 5 percent, from $67 billion to $71 billion, while corrections
expenditures soared by 89 percent — from $37 billion to $71 billion.
As the state politicians’ inability to pass a budget on time demonstrates bad politics and governance, the DOE analysis
illustrates the disconnect between short‐term budgeting and long‐term effective policy.
Effective broad‐based education long has been recognized as a leading deterrent to crime and, therefore, to
incarceration. Yet among state prison inmates, according to the DOE analysis, two‐thirds have not completed high
school — a staggering and costly failure of the government and the broader society.
Pennsylvania and many other states have begun to reduce their prison populations because of the costs, data that are
not yet reflected in the DOE’s ongoing analysis. But that effort is based primarily on reforms to the criminal justice and
prison systems themselves.
The DOE study demonstrates the commonwealth must add broad‐based education reforms to the arsenal.

State psychiatric beds are disappearing and that could cost the United States billions of dollars
By Iann Oldman/Public Source
The number of state hospital beds dedicated to psychiatric care has dropped to record lows, even as the criminal justice
system utilizes them more for inmate care.
The Treatment Advocacy Center, a national nonprofit focused on increasing the care of mental health patients, reported
that almost half of the nation’s state hospital beds are in use by patients in the criminal justice system.
According to the report, the nation experienced a 17 percent reduction in the number of available psychiatric hospital
beds since 2010. That’s a loss of more than 6,000 beds.
If you look at the past decade, the decline is even steeper. In 2005, there were just more than 50,000 state hospital beds
available for psychiatric care. Today, it has shrunk to about 37,000 beds, or 11.7 beds available per 100,000 people,
according to the report.
Pennsylvania ranks in the lower half of states in the nation for the availability of state hospital beds for psychiatric care.
The state has lost 500 beds since 2010, the fifth most of any state, and has only 10.4 beds available per 100,000
individuals, according to the report. Only 19 states have a lower number of available beds per capita than Pennsylvania.
Patients sometimes wait months for state psychiatric beds to open, and failure to receive treatment can lead to drug
and alcohol abuse, emergency room visits, homelessness and increased incarceration rates.
The lack of adequate mental health care has cost the United States billions of dollars in lost income, according to leading
mental health organizations.
State psychiatric beds exist to primarily treat patients who cannot receive adequate and necessary treatment in a
community setting, such as group homes. Common patients for these beds include uninsured individuals or patients
who are deemed to be dangerous to themselves or others.
But state hospital psychiatric beds are also used by the criminal justice system for multiple purposes, and the center’s
researchers found that nearly half of the beds in the country are filled by patients who are awaiting trial or have already
been convicted of a crime.
State psychiatric beds can be filled by criminal defendants being “restored” to competency to stand trial, defendants
deemed to be “unrestorable” or convicted prisoners in need of intensive psychiatric care, among others.
Almost 47 percent of state hospital beds across the nation are dedicated solely to patients within the criminal justice
system. Part of the problem, according to the report’s researchers, is that community and outpatient facilities designed
to replace state psychiatric systems were simply never built. As the nation moved away from large, state‐run psychiatric
facilities, hundreds of thousands of beds were lost in the process.
The study’s recommendations include increasing the number of beds per 100,000 people to the range of 40 to 60,
especially in targeted areas. As well, the researchers recommend Congress to fund a “comprehensive review” of
Medicare and Medicaid regulations that they believe to be harmful to psychiatric treatment.
In June, U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy, R‐Pa., introduced a bill to the House of Representatives that would increase the number
of state psychiatric hospital beds. One aspect of HR 2646 would be to provide “additional psychiatric hospital beds for
those experiencing an acute mental health crisis and in need of short term immediate inpatient care for patient
stabilization.”
Other provisions in the bill include creations of a new position and committee to focus on mental health issues at the
federal level. The bill was unanimously voted out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee last month. It passed
the House on Wednesday. The measure now goes to the Senate for a vote.

Get a behind‐the‐bars look at prison system
By Renee Winkler
17
Even on a soft and sunny day, when irises were blooming en masse outside the stone walls of Eastern State Prison, a
visit to the historic site in Philadelphia's Fairmount neighborhood is glum.
The old walls are peeling light green and cream paint, the floors are cracked, some ceiling beams are exposed by
crumbling materials, and the wooden sliding doors to single‐occupant cells are imposing.
Yet the prison itself — built in a cherry orchard and nicknamed "Cherry Hill" — is a rainbow compared to the message
prison officials are putting forth in its newest exhibit.
The tale told in "Prisons Today: Questions in the Age of Mass Incarceration'' isn't a happy one and it doesn't foretell
improvement any time soon.
Included with admission, the exhibit highlights the fact that America has the highest rate of incarceration in the world.
Highest by far, as a result of mandatory minimum sentences and restrictions on parole for both drugs and weapons
offenses. Our nation's state and federal prisons — some run by for‐profit businesses — today hold 2.2 million people,
most of them American citizens.
Yet at the same time prisons have increased their numbers by almost 600 percent, the rate of violent crime remained
largely unchanged, according to research used in the exhibit.
Erected in a brick and concrete room that in an earlier time was a walled‐in work room and an open‐air exercise area,
the exhibit has several interactive stations, starting with a wall that asks visitors if they ever broke the law. It makes you
consider your life and whether you were touched by luck when you cheated on your taxes or drove too fast or while
under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
A group of 27 handwritten letters admitting crimes that did not lead to arrests is on display, with confessions that
range from thefts from unlocked cars to smuggling a small amount of marijuana to a friend on death row.
Another station brings home the point that early circumstances — being born into a structured family, living among
relatives who have never been incarcerated, or with enough cash on hand to make bail if arrested — have a huge
influence on the possibility of incarceration.
Sean Kelley, senior vice president and director of interpretation and public programming at Eastern State Penitentiary,
said the concept behind the project was to focus on the high incarceration rate.
The first step was the erection of a gray‐and‐red metal structure that shows the increase in the imprisonment rate since
Eastern State closed in 1971. Listed on the ever‐rising metal towers are the per capita rates for imprisonment in 219
other countries.
“We're at the top, with 730 people imprisoned for every 100,000 in the population. We're at the top by a lot. Rwanda is
second, and their rate is 527,” said Kelley.
He adds that 70 percent of the people confronted by the “have you broken the law” question since the exhibit opened
in the first week of May have answered "yes.''
Statistics posted inside the exhibit showcase another scary fact — one in nine of the people incarcerated in America
today is serving a life sentence.
A 10‐minute video at the entrance to the exhibit highlights brief comments from a number of America's former
presidents and newsmakers, beginning with Jesse Jackson's demand that America fight its war against drugs by attacking
the suppliers.
In another section, Barry Goldwater talks of illegal drugs as a “growing menace” in 1965 and a year later, New York state
sets a mandatory minimum sentence for drug convictions. Shown to the audience via a 1970‐era Magnavox television,
the video includes the iconic snip of a frying egg representing “your brain on drugs.”
There also are short videos of interviews with current inmates, and with a young girl living with a foster parent because
her father is in jail and her mother is unable to care for her.
Some attention is given to the aging prison population, especially since the need for nursing home and hospice care has
driven up the annual cost of caring for older inmates from $27,000 to $70,000.
A visit to Eastern State Prison is an adventure for individuals or for families with children over the middle‐school mark.
An audio tour, narrated by actor Steve Buscemi, makes it easy to wander through the open corridors and tour guides are
on hand to answer questions.
The former warden's office has been rehabbed to hold a spot to recharge cell phones and use free Wi‐Fi. It provides a
cooling‐off spot on hot summer days and a warming area when chill winds rip through the stone structure in the winter.
Set up on the principle of isolation, with one person in each cell and no contact among inmates or even with guards, it
was one of the most expensive buildings in America. It also was one of the first to have flush toilets and electric lighting.
18
Kelley said the prison gets about 300,000 visitors each year and relies heavily on donations for its programs and
improvements. “We have no endowments. Former prisoners aren't inclined to donate money,” he said.
In comparison, the now‐closed federal prison at Alcatraz, off the coast of San Francisco, is visited by about 1.5 million
people each year.
Once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, Eastern State Penitentiary was known for its discipline and
architecture. It was designed to inspire prisoners to repent, or be penitent.
Designed for Pennsylvania inmates, it was planned for three decades and was open from 1829 until 1971, housing
prisoners convicted of state crimes. It banned corporal punishment of inmates and used isolation and labor to enforce
its principles. Inmates were barred from interacting with guards and were required to wear hoods whenever they were
outside their cells.
Each cell relied on a skylight for lighting and was equipped with running water and a flush toilet. The building is
surrounded by a 10‐foot‐high stone wall. The architect for the prison, British‐born John Haviland, who used Gothic
elements to intimidate prisoners, referred to it as “a forced monastery, a machine for reform.” British writer Charles
Dickens strongly disagreed with the benefits of solitary confinement, terming it “immeasurably worse than any torture.”
While prison rules banned corporal punishment of inmates, those who were recalcitrant were restrained by straight
jackets and a device known as a “tranquility chair,” which held prisoners in place with chains, leather straps and locks.
They also were subjected to an iron gag, a 5‐inch long device that was fitted over the tongue.
Always a popular spot for tourists, Eastern State holds a frightening Halloween program, known as "Terror Behind the
Walls.''
Infamous residents of the prison included Morris “the Rabbi” Bolber, who entered the prison in 1942 to serve a life term
for participating in an arsenic murder ring in Philadelphia. Bolber's client list included women who wanted to murder
their husbands.
Joe Buzzard was the youngest of five brothers who were housed at Eastern State in the last 20 years of the 19th century.
He was imprisoned for horse theft, the most common crime of inmates.
Leo Callahan, one of 100 prisoners to escape, joined five other men to build a wooden ladder and climb over the prison
wall in 1923. He was not recaptured.
Alphonse “Scarface” Capone, Chicago's mob boss, served eight years at Eastern State for carrying a concealed deadly
weapon. It was his first incarceration and Capone's cell, a highlight of the tour, was outfitted with fine furniture, a rug, a
lamp with beaded fringe, and a cabinet radio.
Freda Frost, the last female to be held at Eastern State, was sentenced to a 20‐year term for poisoning her husband. She
was transferred to Pennsylvania's Muncy Industrial Home for Women in 1923, when women were excluded from the
prison's population.
William Francis Sutton, another inmate highlighted on the audio tour, was convicted of more than 50 bank robberies
and netted about $2 million. In some of the robberies, he dressed as a police officer. Known as “Slick Willie,” he was one
of a dozen men who escaped through a tunnel at Eastern State in 1945. Quickly recaptured after that escape, he later
was able to break out of two other prisons before being released from a New York prison in 1980. Sutton died in Florida
in 1980 at 79. Sutton always denied responsibility for the famous quote that he had robbed banks “because that's where
the money is.” He did, however, tell reporters he robbed banks because it was fun.
Frederick Tenuto, who joined Sutton in the 1945 escape, was the last to be recaptured after that breakout. He was
transferred to Holmesburg State Prison and escaped from there in 1946. He was never recaptured.
Charles Yerkes served seven months in the 1870s at Eastern State for larceny. After his release he designed and financed
several public transportation projects, including the subway systems in Chicago and London. A crater on the moon is
named after Yerkes.

Why Philly is holding kids on $500,000 bail
By Samantha Melamed
Though he had no record, and was 15 years old, he was charged in adult court.
Bail was set at $75,000. The required 10 percent of that, $7,500, was more than the teen or his mother could fathom.
So, in January 2015, Eugene Lee was sent to an adult jail, Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center. It was three
months before his mother, Wylicia Clark, 35, of the city's Frankford section, could get the bail reduced to an amount she
could pay.
The charges involved an attempted robbery with a BB gun, in which no one was shot and Eugene was not the gunman. It
was botched when the victim, an older man, convinced the teens he had a gun himself, and scared them away.
Eugene is home now, and his case has been moved to juvenile court. But he's not the same.
"It did something to him," said Clark, adding that her son's case is ongoing. "He still doesn't sleep at night. He doesn't
trust anybody. He's in school, but he's very wary about talking to people in school. He doesn't even want to go outside."
While there is no such thing as money bail for kids in Pennsylvania's juvenile‐justice system, for kids the same age, 15 to
17, in the adult criminal justice system, it's a radically different story.
Not only are they virtually always held on money bail (as opposed to released on some other condition, such as house
arrest), but their bail amounts are often set extremely high. The average bail assigned in 2016 was $248,000, far outside
bail guidelines the courts established in 2012, which recommend bail between $9,000 and $75,000 for the highest‐risk
offenders charged with the most serious of crimes.
At a time when the city is embarking on a $6.1 million effort in partnership with the MacArthur Foundation to reduce its
jail population by one‐third, these bail amounts mean almost all juveniles will be locked up for months or years before
ever being convicted of a crime.
Out of 46 juveniles charged as adults this year in Philadelphia, 34 had their bail set at least twice as high as the maximum
suggested by the court's own bail guidelines. Nine had bail of $500,000 or more. Only four were able to post bail. (Of the
seven teens whose bail was set within guidelines, five cases were either quickly withdrawn or moved to juvenile court.)
Studies have found that youth, like adults, are more likely to plead or be found guilty if they're detained, and are more
likely to commit crimes in the future. They suffer from increased mental‐health issues, including depression and
impulses to harm themselves. A Department of Education study found 59 percent of incarcerated youth in remedial
programs either didn't return to school after their release or dropped out after five months.
Philadelphia's deputy managing director for criminal justice, Benjamin Lerner, presided over these cases for 15 years as a
Common Pleas Court judge. He said he was often outraged by the bail amounts set by commissioners, who determine
release conditions by video conference in a security‐glass‐enclosed courtroom in the basement of the Criminal Justice
Center.
"I was yelling and screaming about this from the bench on many occasions," he said. "Not only was the bail set for these
juveniles way above the guidelines, but it bore no reasonable relationship to what they were actually charged with
doing."
For example, he mentioned cases like Eugene's, where a juvenile was charged in a gunpoint robbery but wasn't the one
with the weapon. "Often, the bail was set for th juvenile defendant not only as if they had the weapon, but as if they had
used the weapon."
In the juvenile‐justice system, defendants are locked up if they pose a danger to themselves or others, if there is no one
to care for them, or if they're likely to abscond. Otherwise, they are released. But a Pennsylvania law dating to 1995 calls
for teens 15 to 17 charged with certain violent crimes to be sent directly to adult court.
20
Lerner said there were, at times, cases where he thought it unsafe to release a juvenile. But others didn't pose a threat.
None posed a real flight risk, he said: "They aren't going very far if they don't show up. It's annoying and time‐
consuming, occasionally even dangerous, to go out and find them, but they can be found, and they always are."
Still, Angel Flores, deputy of the juvenile division at the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, said his team routinely
seeks high bail in such cases. He said it's a public‐safety issue, underscored by the very same neuroscience that has
driven the U.S. Supreme Court to ban the harshest sentences for juveniles, citing "their immaturity, recklessness, and
impetuosity."
"You hear the argument all the time about how juveniles are much more impulsive and less concerned about
consequences," Flores said. "So you can imagine a young person, a juvenile, who's alleged to have committed an offense
with a deadly weapon. That's more concerning than someone who may be a little older and think a little more about
what they're going to do with that weapon."
The Constitution's Eighth Amendment bans "excessive bail," and Pennsylvania law says: "No condition of release,
whether nonmonetary or monetary, should ever be imposed for the sole purpose of ensuring that a defendant remains
incarcerated until trial."
A judge can deny bail in Pennsylvania if public safety is deemed endangered but must state on the record the reasons
for that determination. Setting high bail could circumvent that requirement.
So, for juveniles, "it feels like the default is to be in [jail]," said Lauren Fine, cofounder of the Youth Sentencing and
Reentry Project, which advocates for youth in the adult system. "I think the system views these kids differently from
every other group ‐ that they're the worst of the worst. We're beyond the idea of 'the superpredator,' but there's still
the thinking that these are really bad kids and we're going to treat them that way."
She said it usually takes at least three months to have a bail‐reduction hearing; many of her juvenile clients have been
locked up three years pretrial.
Lerner hopes the MacArthur grant work will address questions like "whether or not amounts of money, or money bail in
general, really have anything to do with either a defendant's risk to the community or a defendant's risk of flight." The
city's plan includes early bail review for nonviolent cases where bail is set below $50,000; more thorough legal
representation at bail hearings; and the creation of a risk‐assessment tool for setting bail.
An April Columbia University study, which analyzed cases in Philadelphia from 2005 to 2010, underscored what impacts
of bail are known: Imposing money bail made it 6 percent more likely a defendant would plead guilty, and 4 percent
more likely that he or she would re‐offend.
That effect includes even small bail amounts. Sarah Morris, who works with youth in the adult system through the
nonprofit Youth Art and Self‐Empowerment Project, said she's seen cases dismissed or withdrawn after teens spent
months in jail. By then, she said, "their life is disrupted, and many more obstacles exist for them. I've known a lot of
young people who had trouble getting their credits to transfer when they came home." Some dropped out of school as a
result.
In Philadelphia, those teens are held in adult jail on State Road. Some other counties in Pennsylvania keep juveniles
charged as adults in juvenile jails, Fine said.
That might have been helpful for Eugene.
Even after his bail was reduced, for the second time, to $4,000, his mother had to scramble to raise 10 percent, or $400.
The residential aide, who has six children, borrowed some of it from her brother.
She was relieved to get her son home, but noticed he can't seem to concentrate in school. He'd like to drop out, maybe
be homeschooled instead.
He still dreams of being a lawyer or a counselor, so he can help people.
But first, Clark said, "we got to get over the fear."

Should South Jersey corrections officers enforce federal immigration laws? ACLU says no
By Michael Boren
A South Jersey jail's corrections officers could soon be able to question detainees about their residency status,
regardless of the crime they committed, and process them for immigration violations.
The possibility of this new role has sparked concern from the American Civil Liberties Union, which says the move could
stoke fear and distrust between authorities and communities in Salem County, where nearly 16,000 of the 64,000
residents are minorities. The county is 45 miles southwest of Philadelphia.
The ACLU has urged the county's correctional facility not to participate in the U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement's 287(g) program, which offers local law enforcement agencies powers similar to those of federal
immigration agents. Thirty‐two agencies across the U.S. use the program, including two in North Jersey, according to
federal officials.
Advocates say the program targets immigrants with violent histories who are here illegally, not others. In the last two
years at Hudson County's Correctional Center, fewer than 1 percent of people detained and taken there by Immigration
and Customs Enforcement officials ‐ 64 of 8,000 ‐ have been identified as violent offenders who should be targeted for
deportation, county spokesman Jim Kennelly said. The others were given due process in court, he said.
Critics say the program unfairly targets Latino communities. They point to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in
Arizona, which used the program until 2011, when the U.S. Justice Department discovered the office was racially
profiling Latinos through unlawful stops and detentions.
"Voluntarily applying for a 287(g) contr tract sends the message that deportation is a potential consequence of any
interaction with law enforcement," the ACLU and other immigrants‐rights groups said in a letter addressed Tuesday to
Salem County officials, including jail warden Ray Skradzinski.
Skradzinski said in an interview that his facility had operated since February as a temporary holding place for individuals
detained by federal immigration agents. Six such suspects have entered the jail in that period, he said.
They typically stay less than 72 hours in the inmate‐intake unit, outside the general population of nearly 400 inmates,
before heading to a more permanent facility or a deportation hearing.
Skradzinski said he wants to use the federal program to teach up to five of his 146 correctional officers how to handle
immigration issues. The program could allow those officers to fingerprint, photograph, and process inmates for
immigration violations, in addition to other criminal charges. It could also give the officers access to a federal database
to flag violent criminals.
Skradzinski said the officers would not try to track down undocumented immigrants not already in custody.
"We have no intention of going out on the streets and patrolling to enforce immigration laws," he said.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement's program requires local corrections officers to complete four weeks of
training on immigration and civil rights laws. The officers must be U.S. citizens, have at least one year's experience on
their job, and have no pending disciplinary actions.
Skradzinski said he was waiting to hear from the federal agency whether the application for the program was approved.
He said he would put up to five officers through training.
In addition to the Hudson County's Correctional Center, the Monmouth County Sheriff's Office also uses the program. Its
agreement expired June 30, but a spokeswoman said the office planned to renew it.
22
In Hudson County, where immigrant advocate groups have loudly criticized the program, officials are debating whether
to stick with it.
Kennelly, the county spokesman, said the arguments go beyond identifying individuals as illegal immigrants.
"The issue is larger, and that issue is: What is the appropriate role for federal immigration officials and local law
enforcement?" he said, adding, "And that is a decision, a balancing act."

New York Times (07/06/2016)
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/07/nyregion/ramadan‐for‐muslim‐inmates‐mixing‐religious‐duty‐with‐prisons‐
limits.html?_r=0
By Samantha Schmidt
OSSINING, N.Y. — As they heard the beginning of the 8:30 p.m. call to prayer on Tuesday, the Muslim men took their
first sips of water of the day, breaking the Ramadan fast for the last time this year.
They passed around apples, chips and juice, their bodies aching for food but their minds reminding them that first, they
must pray. The men filed into the white‐walled mosque, joining more than 100 others facing east, their arms crossed
and their heads bowed.
“Allahu akbar,” the imam called from the front of the two‐tiered room.
Some of the men wore knit kufi caps, and almost all were clothed in green uniforms,signifying their status as inmates at
Sing Sing Correctional Facility here in Westchester County. Sing Sing, a maximum‐security prison, holds more than 1,600
inmates, including many convicted of crimes like murder and manslaughter.
The prison’s imam, Jon Young, said that 80 percent of the Muslim inmates in Sing Sing had converted to Islam after
entering prison.
“Islam has discipline that they didn’t have before,” Mr. Young said. “They have a real sense of brotherhood. They protect
each other.”
But being a Muslim behind bars has its complications. Those incarcerated, like Muslims in the general public, may face a
lack of understanding, discrimination or indifference. This friction can be heightened during the holy month of Ramadan,
when religious obligations require complicated changes to rigid prison schedules.
Across the state, 5,842 inmates, or about 11 percent of the total prison population, are Muslim. During Ramadan, these
inmates are entitled by federal law to fulfill their religious obligations, including eating only between sundown and
sunrise, showering once a day and praying five times a day.
New York prisons follow a detailed, systemwide directive that requires delivery of Ramadan meals at appropriate times
and that dictates other accommodations for those observing the holy month. Sing Sing in particular is known by Muslim
inmates in the state as having the best programs pertaining to Islam.
Because Sing Sing has its own mosque and offers daily prayer services and classes on Islam, Dontey Middleton, 32,
requested that he be transferred here about two years ago.
“Up north, in other spots, it’s always scrutinized by the police,” Mr. Middleton said of prayer in group settings. “Being
down here, we have the liberty to, every day, study our religion and pray.”
But even in states like New York that have detailed provisions for religious accommodations, some inmates in prisons
and jails report lapses during Ramadan.
At Auburn Correctional Facility, a number of Muslim inmates complained that when the prison was in a lockdown in
2013, they were denied Ramadan meals and access to communal prayer. At Attica Correctional Facility, an inmate
complained that he had been denied showers nine times during Ramadan in 2012, apparently for no reason.
“It does seem to come up every year,” said William Burgess, a senior staff attorney at the Council on American‐Islamic
Relations. Often, these “hiccups,” as Mr. Burgess put it, may occur in smaller jails or as a result of staff turnover.
In 2005, Darryl Holland filed a lawsuit pertaining to his time at Wende Correctional Facility. During Ramadan in 2003,
corrections officers instructed Mr. Holland to drink water so they could collect a urine sample. Because he was fasting,
he refused to drink and asked to give the sample after sundown instead. For his refusal, he was placed in an isolation cell
for 77 days.
After Mr. Holland sued, New York prisons changed their policy in 2012, allowing Muslim prisoners who are fasting to
give urine samples after sunset.
23
Muslim inmates at Sing Sing described less‐accommodating experiences at other prisons, some of which do not have
Friday prayer services and regular Islamic education classes. Mr. Middleton said at some prisons, he was allowed to take
only three showers a week during Ramadan.
Michael Tineo, a 33‐year‐old inmate at Sing Sing, said that while he was at Elmira Correctional Facility, he was running
late for Ramadan dinner in the mess hall one night. He said a corrections officer refused to escort him to the mess hall,
telling him: “That’s too bad. Deal with it.”
In a statement in response to the recent lawsuits, Thomas Mailey, a spokesman for the New York State Department of
Corrections and Community Supervision, said the department “has been and remains committed to ensuring the free
exercise of religion by the inmates housed within each of its facilities.”
At Sing Sing, the Ramadan program and meals are so well organized that even non‐Muslims ask to partake, Mr. Tineo
said. The prison houses 250 registered Muslims, all of whom are given a meal after sundown and a bag for suhur, a meal
eaten before sunrise. Even 60 Muslim inmates in isolation are fed meals after sundown.
Each year, the inmates organize a fund‐raiser, selling essential oils to fellow inmates through the commissary. They use
half of the revenue to supplement Ramadan meals and to subsidize religious festivals. They also give part of the money
to other religious and academic programs at Sing Sing — fulfilling a Ramadan obligation of donating to charity.
During an evening class before the breaking of the fast on Tuesday, Mr. Young, the imam, taught a lesson on the
prophet Yusuf, or Joseph, who spent many years in prison but came out as an honest man.
“People should know you for your character as a Muslim,” Mr. Young said, urging the members of the class to be honest
and forgiving.
He then showed the class a video of thousands of Muslims on the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, a trip
that many inmates dream of someday making.
“You’ve got to give them something to aspire to” after getting out, Mr. Young said. “A lot of these guys haven’t been out
of New York.”
Many Muslim inmates at Sing Sing said their families had noticed a change in their behavior since their conversion: They
curse less, they pray more, and they have a more positive outlook.
Ivan Seabrooks, 41, has been in prison for about 13 years, and he converted to Islam six years ago. Before his
conversion, he never thought he would go back to school. But last year, he earned his associate degree, and he hopes to
complete his bachelor’s degree this year.
“Turning Muslim changed my whole perspective,” Mr. Seabrooks said. “I was an angry guy. It teaches you patience.”

Wisconsin Department of Corrections force‐feeds hunger strikers
By Gary Joad
On June 17, state’s attorney Gloria Thomas, on behalf of the Wisconsin Department of Corrections and DOC secretary
Jon Litscher, petitioned Dodge County Circuit Court Judge Brian Pfitzinger to permit the force‐feeding of inmates at
Waupun, Columbia, Green Bay and other state prisons, where some half dozen men or more initiated a hunger strike on
or about June 5th.
Pfitzinger granted the petition and ordered the “temporary” forced nasogastric tube hydration and feeding for at least
two of the strikers, Cesar DeLeon and LaRon McKinley Bey. The six known participants in the hunger strike include
DeLeon, McKinley Bey, Joshua Scolman, Parish Golden, Lamar Larry, and Shirell Watkins.
The prisoners have titled their hunger strike “Dying to Live Humanitarian Food Refusal Campaign Against Torture,”
aware as they are of the US Constitution’s 8th Amendment which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.
For years, prisoners have protested the DOC’s policy of placing them in solitary confinement for extended periods.
McKinley Bey has informed media outlets and courts that his time in uninterrupted solitary at Waupun state prison
exceeds a quarter century.
Multiple media sources report that approximately 100 Wisconsin inmates are living now in long term solitary. UN
officials have declared that any time in solitary over 15 days constitutes torture.
24
Inmates held in the “hole” and in the general population have also reported beatings by sadistic guards, confinement in
cold cells for many weeks with scant or no clothing, the provision of contaminated drinking water and rotten food,
receiving poor or no treatment for medical and mental needs, and never being allowed outside.
The prisoners also report that punishment is meted out for their exposing these prison practices to their families, the
courts, the media and prison advocacy groups. Prison wardens and staffs have been sued many times by the inmates
and their families, to no avail, given the consistent protection prison officials receive from the state.
Judge Pfitzinger received a petition authored by Dr. Jeffery Manlove, the Waupun prison consulting physician, on June
17, which stated, “He (DeLeon) is showing signs of significant dehydration. He appears weak, gaunt, and has an unsteady
gait. His mucous membranes are very dry. He has a rapid heart rate of 132. His lab tests results are consistent with
dehydration and metabolic acidosis.”
In his report, Dr. Manlove also noted that DeLeon’s weight had fallen from 206 pounds to 186 pounds between January
and June. Judge Pfitzinger then ordered the force‐feedings.
After Pfitzinger issued the order DeLeon wrote a reply to the court, which reveals, among other things, the undoubted
and legitimate legal and “ethical” anxiety felt by prison medical staff.
He wrote, “The prison doctor from Waupun submitted some exaggerated report about me been (sic) in immediate
danger and so forth. I’m here to tell you that Waupun officials are trying to dupe you into beliving (sic) this lie to stop me
and other inmates from continuing our ‘religious fasting’ because we been making the news for the past 10 days.”
The reply continued, “The same doctor...came to my cell a day before and wisper (sic)...that the warden...was putting
pressure on him to declare us being in immediate danger because the DOC secretary was calling...him (the warden)...to
do whatever it takes to stop us. He, the doctor, ask me to eat or else he was going to have to go with what the warden
ask him to do.”
DeLeon and McKinley Bey appeared before Dodge Circuit Court Judge Steven Bauer on June 30th to oppose being force‐
fed, reminding the court of their 8th Amendment rights. DeLeon asked that the court view a video of his being force‐fed
“for a punitive purpose, not medical,” a recording that he submitted in a motion. Judge Bauer told DeLeon that he had
not received the video, and agreed to schedule a follow‐up hearing for viewing; meanwhile, forced feedings would
continue.
The DOC attorney Thomas flippantly dismissed DeLeon’s assertions of abuse, saying, “If there is an implication of an 8th
Amendment violation then that is up to the court.”
McKinley Bey told Judge Bauer the same day, “I am refusing to eat and drink for political reasons and to protect myself. I
am going to refuse to eat and drink as long as they mistreat me. I have suffered all kinds of medical conditions. I am
doing this to protest long‐term solitary confinement.”
He reported that he is in his cell 164 of 168 hours in a week, all told for 27 1/2 years. He added in court, “I’m prepared to
go long‐term with this.” Judge Bauer responded by issuing a “permanent” order for McKinley Bey’s nasogastric tube
feeding, effective until December 29, 2016.
McKinley Bey reported that force‐feeding is conducted by strapping inmates into a “restraint” chair. A guard inserts the
nasogastric tube into the nose and down the throat while another guard films the event.
Norman C. Green, also known as Prince Aturn‐Ra Uhuru Mutawakki, formerly incarcerated at Waupun but moved to
Columbia state prison in Portage, Wisconsin in an effort by DOC authorities to break the strike, is also being force‐fed.
He reports having lived in the “hole” for 18 years.
Prison authorities also began an attempt at the forced feeding of Joshua Scolman, the exact date unknown, but because
of an apparent deviated septum (a crooked mid nose bone and cartilage) attempts to place the tube caused bleeding at
the prison that could not be stopped. Scolman was then taken to an area hospital for treatment and IV therapies. One
unconfirmed source reported that the DOC considered forcing Scolman to undergo a surgical tube placement through
the abdominal wall directly into the stomach, to circumvent the nasal issue.
In April of this year, a Waupun inmate named Robert Tatum went on a hunger strike for 14 days after filing a suit against
the DOC for abuse by the guards, a litigation that went nowhere. He quit the strike when threatened with tube feedings,
after which the guards force fed him anyway. In a revealing statement, the DOC communications director Tristan Cook
declared that Waupun was following DOC‐approved procedures.
Correct nasogastric tube placement in the stomach, especially repeatedly, forcibly, or by hostile amateurs, let alone by
trained professionals, is not considered by the medical profession as being risk‐free or entirely benign. And it is certainly
understood to be exceptionally painful.
25
Complications include nasal, throat and esophageal irritation, bleeding and membrane tearing, as well as the risk of
infusing nutrient fluids into the human airway, causing either pneumonia and/or asphyxiation. With force‐feeding, lungs
have also been punctured with resulting lung collapse, a life‐threatening and surgical emergency.
In October 2015 the American Medical Association’s Journal of Ethics and J. Wesley Boyd of Harvard Medical School
stated unambiguously that “force‐feeding prisoners is wrong” in a review of this dangerous and barbaric practice.
Dr. Boyd noted in his article that the Israeli government authorized the force‐feeding of hunger striking Palestinian
prisoners last year, and, wanting to obtain the collaboration of medical professionals, the Israeli Public Security minister
attempted to portray the fasting prisoners as “suicide terrorists.” The Israeli Medical Association would have none of it
and informed the government that if it enacted such practices the Medical Association would request its member
physicians refuse to participate.
Moreover, the World Medical Association, founded in the wake of WWII, updated its recommendations for prisoner
treatment in the so‐called Malta revisions of 2006. The revisions explicitly forbid force‐feeding, which the group likened
to “inhuman and degrading treatment,” that is “never ethically acceptable.” The medical associations of over 80
countries adhere to WMA guidance. The WMA also pointed out that hunger strikers are not suicidal, “but are a last
resort way of expressing protest or dissent in situations of coercion.”

This is a conference like no other- you are an instrumental part in shaping the future
of corrections technology, while learning how to better utilize your existing tools.
This year, however, we have added two new tracks that deal specifically with the
needs and wants of management staff (like Wardens and Sheriffs) and Information
Technology (IT) staff. These new sessions are jam-packed with abilities to interact
with key GTL staff and to learn about how to leverage technology to improve
efficiencies in your agency.
The GTL User Group Training Sessions are two and a half days of intense training
and hands-on experience with all the products GTL has to offer:
General Sessions: Where you learn about where GTL is heading in the

level GTL executives, and the product developers themselves. Find out the
answers to your questions right from the people most able to help you.

AMERICAN
ASSOCIATION
THE PUBLIC SAFE
With over 2GB customers using [Location Based Eervices] and
over EDD customers using [Inmate Inter-communication Evaluation
and Reporting} system [a free service with Securusi, these two
technologies are the most rapidly used software products across
corrections agencies in the United States.
. Without LBS, 1you have no way to know ifan inmate makes
a call to someone standing outside your Agency perimecer.
With LBS. you'll know.
Without ICER, you won't know how much inmates are calling
each other, within your agency or with inmates from other
agencies. With ICER. you'll know.
Fact: 80% or more calls made fromjails are being answered by
someone with a cell phone. l[ell phone usage by called parties has
increased the security threat in three distinct and powerful ways:
i. Cell phones [prepaidrburner phones: mask the identity of
the called party
2. Cell phones hide the location of where the called party is at
the time of call
3. Cell phones can be used to bridge calls, or setup
inmate-to-inmate communication acrivity
Securus has invested in two products, LBS and ICER, to directiy provide
actionable intelligence on these types of calls. No other provider can
bring these two solutions to market, as Securus already has.
LBS maps the approximate location of calls made to called
parties by inmates.
Therefore, these locations can be geographically seen when
investigating who the inmate called and now determine WHERE
the calledparty was, during the call.
In fact, Securus' Secure {all Platform tells you where the called
party answered the call and where the called party was at the time
they ended the call.
Many investigators want to ltnow when inmates call areas of interest
and who is in that area of interest.
LBS allows you to serup "geo-fences" or locations of interest
so you know when an inmate calls that area.
LBS- now ties inmate calls to locations.
L85 provides noti?cations to investigators immediately
upon calls answered within your geo-fence.
These noti?cations can patch you directly into the call so you can
silently monitor the call in progress.
The number one geo-fence for all corrections agenices should be to
create a geo fence around their location. This will tell you when
you have a called party answering a call who is standing
outside the perimeter.

HR Office interviews
Warden,
With the names/times you provided me last evening, I recommend the following interview times for Mr. Krauss:
Tuesday 7/12
CO Hook – 6am
Lt. Mendez – Immediately following CO Hook
CO Buckley – 1pm
CO Hampton – immediately following CO Buckley
Lt. Millinder – 3pm
Lt. Allen – Immediately following Lt. Millinder
Wednesday 7/13
Deputy Warden Gordon – 9am
Lt. Woods – Immediately following DW Gordon
Lt. Jeirles – 3pm
CO Shawver – immediately following Lt. Jeirles
Lt. Fisher – immediately following CO Shawver
CO Hook and Lieutenants Mendez and Allen are the most difficult to catch due to being 11‐7 shift standardly. Tuesday
7/12 we have a training day where schedules will have them in at times closer to business hours, which is why I
recommended them there.
Everyone else is recommended where we have two Lt coverage so the shift is covered while one is tied up, and officers
so that CO meals are completed and reliefs are available to relieve them.

Dear. Ms. Miknis,
My name is Jason Crane. I'm the host of The Morning Mixtape on 98.7 The FREQ. I'd like to invite one or more
of our county judges to appear as a guest on our new weekly political segment, which runs Wednesdays at 8
AM. Ideally, we'd do this live, but it could also be recorded. I recently had Centre County Commissioner Mark
Higgins on the show. Here's that interview:

If one or more judges is interested in doing it, let me know and I'll send some open dates.
Thank you,
Jason

Inmate phone issue
Yesterday into this morning we had an issue where inmates that did have money on their OMSe accounts were being
told on the phone that there was no money to make calls.
GTL believes they’ve found the problem and fixed it. Please let me know if any inmates experience this problem again.

Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding Television usage. We are going to introduce TV's
into our units. We would like to control the type of programming inmates watch. If
you do allow one central TV in your units I am interested in learning what types of
programs do you allow. Thank you for your feedback.

We have Direct TV so we are able to control what channels they are allowed to view. We pay
based on how many channels we wish to have access to and currently we have access to 15
channels. We allow the local broadcast channels - FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS and 3 other local
channels that are Spanish, ESPN, the Weather channel, FOX news, CNN, Discovery and the
History channels. The remaining channel is used to broadcast our inmates rules in English and in
Spanish, the PREA information, commissary information, and inmate phone
information. This seems to be the most cost effective way for us to provide television services to
our inmates.
As like some of the other agencies, the television access is considered a privilege and can be
removed if the floor staff and the shift supervisor deems it necessary for the harmonious
operation of the facility.

Wellness Tip July 8, 2016
5 Weird Signs That You’re Dehydrated
We’re all aware of the obvious signs of dehydration—yellow urine, feeling thirsty, and dry mouth—but
what about the less obvious ones, like acting strange?
Experts say they’re equally important, if not more so because they can be a sign that your dehydration has
progressed beyond normal levels like when you exercise vigorously without drinking enough water.
So, what are those less obvious signs of dehydration? Experts break them down:
1. You have bad breath.
This seems weird, but bear with us here. Saliva has bacteria‐fighting properties, Wider explains. If you’re
dehydrated, your saliva levels go down and so does your mouth’s ability to fight odor‐causing germs. If you
notice that you suddenly have bad breath for no reason, try drinking more water regularly. That alone may
clear it up.
2. You feel confused.
Feeling confused or out of it can be a sign of a few things. But if you haven’t had a lot to drink recently, it
can definitely be a tip‐off that you’re dehydrated, Vieder says. It’s usually not something that comes on
suddenly, unless you’re working up a sweat on a hot day, he adds.
3. You suddenly have food cravings.
Your liver needs water to function properly. When it doesn’t get it, it signals to your brain that you need
fuel, Wider says. Instead of craving water, though, it tends to make you think you’re hungry, causing food
cravings.
4. Your skin doesn’t bounce back.
4
If you grab the skin on the back of your hand, pull it up, and let it go, it should quickly snap back into place.
But this doesn’t usually happen with people who are dehydrated. “If it stays tented [or resumes its shape
more slowly than usual], that’s a really good sign of being dehydrated,” Vieder says. Without enough
moisture, your skin loses some of the elasticity it needs to snap back.
5. You stop sweating.
It seems like this would be a sign that you’re not dehydrated, but Anthony J. Brutico, D.O., medical director
of the Emergency Department at New Jersey’s Newton Medical Center, tells SELF it can be a marker that
you have heat exhaustion or heat stroke. This typically happens because your “volumes of fluid are so low
that the body is trying to hold on to what you have,” he explains. If this happens to you, you need to get
help immediately and see a doctor or other medical professional.
Same goes if people say you’re not acting like yourself, you feel like you’re going to faint, or you actually
have fainted. In those cases, Brutico recommends drinking liquid and heading to the ER to get evaluated.
You may have reached a point where you need IV fluids to get rehydrated.
Even if you’re only experiencing the less severe symptoms of dehydration, it’s time to get some liquids in
you ASAP. Vieder recommends having room‐temperature liquids (your body takes longer to absorb cold
fluids) and aiming to drink water or a sports drink with electrolytes. And take a pass on soda—Vieder says
it can potentially further dehydrate you. Need some help meeting your daily hydration goals? Here are 12
easy ways to drink more water.

Update: Five Officers Killed by Snipers in Dallas During Protest
DALLAS -- Five police officers were fatally shot and six others wounded Thursday
when snipers opened fire in downtown Dallas during a protest over recent police
shootings in Minnesota and Louisiana, police said.
Three possible suspects were in custody, and police were locked for several hours in
a standoff with a gunman in a parking garage who had fired at officers, Dallas
Police Chief David Brown said.
The suspect told officials there were “bombs all over the place in this garage and
downtown,” and “told our negotiators that the end is coming, and he’s going to hurt
and kill more of us,” Brown said.

Two basic questions;

2. How much time is acceptable between rounds during lock in overnight checks?
Thank you.

Wellness Tip July 8, 2016
5 Weird Signs That You’re Dehydrated
We’re all aware of the obvious signs of dehydration—yellow urine, feeling thirsty, and dry mouth—but
what about the less obvious ones, like acting strange?
Experts say they’re equally important, if not more so because they can be a sign that your dehydration has
progressed beyond normal levels like when you exercise vigorously without drinking enough water.
So, what are those less obvious signs of dehydration? Experts break them down:
1. You have bad breath.
This seems weird, but bear with us here. Saliva has bacteria‐fighting properties, Wider explains. If you’re
dehydrated, your saliva levels go down and so does your mouth’s ability to fight odor‐causing germs. If you
notice that you suddenly have bad breath for no reason, try drinking more water regularly. That alone may
clear it up.
2. You feel confused.
Feeling confused or out of it can be a sign of a few things. But if you haven’t had a lot to drink recently, it
can definitely be a tip‐off that you’re dehydrated, Vieder says. It’s usually not something that comes on
suddenly, unless you’re working up a sweat on a hot day, he adds.
3. You suddenly have food cravings.
Your liver needs water to function properly. When it doesn’t get it, it signals to your brain that you need
fuel, Wider says. Instead of craving water, though, it tends to make you think you’re hungry, causing food
cravings.
5
4. Your skin doesn’t bounce back.
If you grab the skin on the back of your hand, pull it up, and let it go, it should quickly snap back into place.
But this doesn’t usually happen with people who are dehydrated. “If it stays tented [or resumes its shape
more slowly than usual], that’s a really good sign of being dehydrated,” Vieder says. Without enough
moisture, your skin loses some of the elasticity it needs to snap back.
5. You stop sweating.
It seems like this would be a sign that you’re not dehydrated, but Anthony J. Brutico, D.O., medical director
of the Emergency Department at New Jersey’s Newton Medical Center, tells SELF it can be a marker that
you have heat exhaustion or heat stroke. This typically happens because your “volumes of fluid are so low
that the body is trying to hold on to what you have,” he explains. If this happens to you, you need to get
help immediately and see a doctor or other medical professional.
Same goes if people say you’re not acting like yourself, you feel like you’re going to faint, or you actually
have fainted. In those cases, Brutico recommends drinking liquid and heading to the ER to get evaluated.
You may have reached a point where you need IV fluids to get rehydrated.
Even if you’re only experiencing the less severe symptoms of dehydration, it’s time to get some liquids in
you ASAP. Vieder recommends having room‐temperature liquids (your body takes longer to absorb cold
fluids) and aiming to drink water or a sports drink with electrolytes. And take a pass on soda—Vieder says
it can potentially further dehydrate you. Need some help meeting your daily hydration goals? Here are 12
easy ways to drink more water.

Hello,
Please see below status on Molly Packer. She is the inmate the CCCF wanted to know the status of at our
meeting today.
Thank you
Karla
She was supposed to go to Snyder County on 6/20 to enter a guilty plea. They thought she was released so no one
bothered to come get her. Snyder CO sheriff’s called me to see where she was. I told them that she is still sitting in CCCF
for my warrant and their new charges.
I had spoke with Kate Hull previously about taking care of her revocation. She suggested that I wait until I have
confirmation of her GP for her new felony retail theft (she’s on supervision here for a felony retail theft as well). At one
point, Packer’s dad had called and told me that she was looking at an SCI sentence but I don’t know the current status
I’m only violating her for the new charge so that’s why Kate suggested I wait, even though she was failing numerous
drug tests in Mifflin CO (they weren’t supervising for us at the time of those tests).
She was already revoked by Huntingdon for the new charge and they gave her 3‐12 months on 3/29/16.
When I gave packer notice of violations, she tried to say that she would get triple credit for huntingdon, us and the
snyder county charge. i don’t think that’s appropriate considering she was on for a felony retail from Walmart and
committed another felony retail in Walmart in snyder co.
Hope this helps.

Hello AJA Members,
My name is Casey Meyer, I am a National Sales Director for SkyPath Satellite Systems out of
Grapevine, TX. Our organization has been a certified commercial dealer for DIRECTV since
1999. We currently service a handful of Jail/Corrections facilities around Texas, and are looking to
expand further into the industry.
Our Headend systems are the perfect solution for a secure, and easily restricted source of inmate
entertainment.
Headend systems can come in SD Analog/Digital, or HD Digital.
An in-house information channel can be added for event schedules, and general jail info.
Inmates are allowed no control past changing the channel, and volume.
Line-ups are restricted in number, allowing the facility to display a small amount of
channels, typically 32-48.
Channels within the system can be altered at the staffs will allowing only certain approved
channels to be shown.
You will have push-button control over the system, individual channels may be turned off,
or if need be, the whole system may be shut down at the flick of a switch.
All headend type systems are modular, allowing for more channels, or in-house
programming to be added.
One single headend, with one dish can run your entire property, and will need no wiring
changes.
Further expansion on your facility will be covered by the system without need for alteration.
Any new wiring added to your distribution system will receive service.
24 Hour technical assistance is provided free of charge.
1
Our professional technicians are payed employees, not sub-contractors, and can pass
background investigations in order to service your facilities. Detailed estimates can be given over
email without the need for a technician to visit your site.
If you would like more information, or a detailed estimate for your facility, please contact me via
the info in my signature.
Thank you for your time,
Casey

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in Phoenix, AZ allows only the following TV channels for
inmate viewing: The Weather Channel, The Food Network, ESPN, ESPN 2 and a local Phoenix
government channel. We do NOT allow any channels that may have local news due to the
probability that a "high profile crime" news story will be broadcast and could put an inmate at risk
if the news story is viewed by other inmates.
The Jail Housing Unit Officers keep possession of the TV remote controls and change the
channels if requested by inmates. Every day, at the beginning of each shift, the National Anthem
is played, followed by PREA announcements in English and Spanish, and then TV viewing. TV
viewing is considered a PRIVILEGE not a right and is allowed based on inmate behavior and
cellblock cleanliness.
Best regards to all, Scotty Vail............

New Hire - Orientation Training
All,
I will not be making the usual binders for the new hires in advance. Please print out the PowerPoints/Handouts that you
will be using. If you need assistance in preparing the materials for your day of instruction please let me know.
Facility Policies and Procedures will need to be covered. I created a checkoff list of all 83 current policies. I printed copies
of Policy 113‐Staff Inmate Relationships, Policy 124‐Standards of Conduct, and Policy 421‐Sexual Assault/Allegations.
Policy 113 and 421 will still need to be covered with Murphy on 7/13. The remaining policies will need to be covered
throughout the orientation. I’m asking that everyone pick 9 policies to cover on their day of instruction. Please cover the
policies relevant to your day of instruction and choose the remaining policies from the list so that 9 policies are covered
every day. Just initial and date next to the policy when it is covered and leave the list in the Training Office.
Also Kitchen staff requested that all meals be served in Staff Dining and that the class eats at 10:45a every day. I also let
them know that the first day may be running late due to HR Orientation/Training at Willowbank.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please let me know. I will be off until Tuesday 7/12 but can be
reached via email.
Thanks!

WESA/Essential Pittsburgh (07/05/2016)
http://wesa.fm/post/higher-education-program-inmates-be-piloted-pa-universities
Interview with Secretary Wetzel
Higher education program for inmates to be piloted at PA universities
By Megan Fair
The U.S. Department of Education has revamped a higher education program for
prisoners, and four schools in the Commonwealth have been selected to participate.
Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Villanova, Bloomsburg University and the Lehigh
Carbon Community College will create the curriculum to educate prisoners selected for
the grants under the new Second Chance Pell Grant pilot.
Pennsylvania Department of Corrections Secretary John Wetzel thinks education can
be the key to undoing the social conditions that led to incarceration.
“When you look at who comes in our front door, you have to see the barriers to the
success that led them to commit crime.”
This particular program hopes to address the addiction, mental illness, lack of access to
education and sustainable employment that often leads people to become incarcerated
and fall into recidivism.
“I don’t think it’s a silver bullet, but the research has been stunning in its success,” said
Wetzel. He added that throughout the pilot, the state will be tracking program statistics.
Ultimately these Pell Grants will relieve a burden on the taxpayer, Wetzel pointed out.
He said it costs $42,000 a years to incarcerate one individual, not including the financial
burden on social services like foster care and the juvenile criminal system.
“The return on investment is an absolute no-brainer,” said Wetzel.
Wetzel added the prison population is disproportionately composed of low-income
and/or folks of color due to systemic racism and class inequality. He hopes this will be a
step in undoing some of the damage inflicted before the prisoners were incarcerated.
In addition to the liberal arts angle that IUP, Villa Nova and Bloomsburg offer, Wetzel
was pleased to see the selection of a community college as they teach “practical, skills
to be successful in their community.”
“We’re all invested in people coming out of our prisons and being successful,” said
Wetzel.

Recidivism antidote: Ex-cons need a seamless path back to Medicaid
By the Editorial Board
A person released from a county jail or state prison faces no shortage of challenges
readjusting to life in society. Accessing health care shouldn’t be one of them.
The Legislature has recognized as much by passing a change to the state Human
Services Code that would suspend, rather than terminate, Medicaid benefits while a
person is incarcerated for up to two years. The change would make it easier to restart
benefits when an offender is released. That translates into quicker access to psychiatric
medications and other health care services that can help lower recidivism.
Medicaid is a federal-state program that provides health care to the poor, which many
inmates and prisoners are. Right now, those benefits are terminated during
incarceration. Some offenders, but not all, get help applying or reapplying for Medicaid
before they walk free. Jails and prisons also provide a certain amount of medication to
keep released offenders going until benefits kick back in and they can go to doctors and
pharmacies again.
However, these arrangements are far from perfect. The state Department of Human
Services needs more than a month to process a Medicaid application, and some
recently released offenders exhaust their prison-supplied medications or encounter
other health problems in the interim. Inmates at county jails, which have a rapid turnover
in population and provide varying levels of re-entry assistance, are especially
vulnerable.
Offenders need stability — in health care, housing and employment — as quickly as
possible if their return to society has any chance of success. A quicker resumption of
Medicaid benefits after confinement — a change pushed through the Legislature by
Republican Sen. Patricia Vance of Cumberland County — would help offenders make
the most of their new start. Faster access to Medicaid rolls also would help the state
leverage more federal dollars for offenders’ medications. Gov. Tom Wolf hasn’t signed
the legislation but has said he supports the concept behind it.
The state Department of Corrections and Department of Human Services had been
working to streamline the re-entry process before the Legislature took up Ms. Vance’s
bill. Some state prisons have DHS caseworkers to help with Medicaid paperwork, and
corrections officials are working with the Department of Aging to expand the services
available to newly released offenders.
These are forward-thinking initiatives with important implications. Lower recidivism rates
would be great news for Pennsylvania.

After 37 years, inmate pleads for end to solitary confinement
By Angela Couloumbis
HARRISBURG - The question for convicted murderer Arthur Johnson seemed simple:
Could he explain what his days are like, from the moment he wakes to the time he drifts
off to sleep, in the 7-by-12-foot prison cell where he has spent nearly 37 years in solitary
confinement?
His response was an unstoppable, eight-minute soliloquy about despair and mistrust
and lessons learned on the street, the words spilling from his mouth in a crush of
thoughts as he tried to convince a federal judge on Wednesday that nearly four decades
is enough time for any one person to spend alone.
"Every single day, you do the exact same thing," Johnson told Judge Christopher C.
Conner, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania,
during a hearing that lasted nearly six hours. "You live by the rules, you follow the
policy, and it doesn't mean anything. . . . It doesn't count."
Johnson, 63, is serving life in prison without parole for the 1970 gang-related murder of
Jerome Wakefield in Philadelphia. After several attempts at escape - during one, he
allegedly bound a prison guard and locked him in a cell - he was placed in solitary
In May, he sued the state Department of Corrections, alleging that he is a victim of cruel
and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth and 14th Amendments to the
Constitution.
He is seeking a preliminary injunction to be released back into the general population at
the State Correctional Institute at Frackville, so he can live out the remainder of his life.
The Department of Corrections is fighting his motion, saying he remains at high risk for
misbehavior and has signaled that he has not abandoned his plans to escape as soon
as he gets another chance.
Just in the last week, as Johnson was preparing to be transported to Harrisburg for the
hearing, "he began to say his good-byes . . . and talked about prior escape attempts,"
Senior Deputy Attorney General Abbegael Giunta, whose office is representing the
Corrections Department, told Conner on Wednesday.
Giunta noted Johnson's level of fitness and his access to books, newspapers, a
television, and a radio. She said Johnson's cell has a small window with a view to the
outside; his cell door has another window through which he can see prisoners in the
general population pass by.
"He will not suffer irreparable harm if his injunction is denied," she said.
Another hearing is scheduled for Aug. 11, during which the state will present its
witnesses.
Wednesday was Johnson's time.
Led into the courtroom by eight Department of Corrections officers, Johnson shuffled to
the witness stand with shackled feet, fumbling with the microphone for the first few
minutes. At first, he spoke too far away from it to be heard, then too close to it for his
voice to be anything but muffled. As he gave testimony, he kept knocking it with his
hand.
Under questioning from his attorneys, Johnson said he spends 23 hours each day in his
cell. He is allowed outside in the prison yard for an hour Monday through Friday, but
only in a small, caged-in area. He is allowed showers three times a week, and he is led
there in handcuffs, with a towel wrapped around him.
Before Wednesday, when he walked into the courtroom and shook the hand of one of
his attorneys, he said he had not touched another human being in any meaningful way
for nearly 37 years.
Johnson's legal team includes lawyers from the Jones Day law firm in Pittsburgh; Bret
Grote from the Abolitionist Law Center; and Jules Lobel, a professor of law at the
University of Pittsburgh.
Craig Haney, a psychology professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who
has researched the impact of long-term solitary confinement, testified Wednesday that
social contact is a basic human need. Solitary confinement, especially prolonged, "is
painful. It's a stressful environment."
Johnson, he said, "has struggled to maintain his sanity."
Sitting quietly in the courtroom Wednesday was Julie Burnett, Johnson's first cousin.
She said she was 4 years old when Johnson went to prison. Seated next to her were
two of Johnson's adult grandchildren, who Burnett said Johnson had never seen - and
might not recognize.
As he was led out of the courtroom at the end of Wednesday's hearing, Johnson
glanced their way. He nodded his head, then shuffled off.

Lancaster man too late in request from relief from life sentence
By Lindsey Blest
A Lancaster man's request for relief 31 years into his life sentence has been denied by
a Pennsylvania court.
Garey Thomas, now 68, was convicted of first-degree murder after shooting Ricky
Coward at King and Plum streets in 1984. Coward was seated on a bicycle when
Thomas approached and shot him in the chest just after midnight on June 27.
A criminal complaint filed by a Lancaster city police detective described the shooting as
"a planned act" and "done intentionally with premeditation." Thomas received a life
sentence in 1985.
He filed a petition for relief last year, based on a 2013 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that
deemed certain mandatory sentences unconstitutional.
If the petition had been accepted, Thomas would have been eligible for a new trial and
potentially a different sentence.
A Lancaster County judge denied his petition in December. Thomas then filed with the
state Superior Court, which also denied him relief.
Thomas' petition was too late, according to Assistant District Attorney Julie Slabinski.
The five-page opinion by the Superior Court states challenges after the 2013 U.S.
Supreme Court ruling had to be filed within 60 days of that ruling. Thomas filed nearly
two years later, the opinion states.
Also, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling doesn't apply to sentences that are final and not on
active appeal at the time of the ruling.
Thomas is being held at the state prison in Graterford, Montgomery County.
According to newspaper records, Coward was 31 at the time of the shooting.
A report published on March 15, 1985 stated the men had been at odds since 1982
when Thomas began living with Coward's wife. The shooting was the culmination of
their differences.
Previously, Thomas had been arrested several times. In 1972, he escaped from
Lancaster County Prison while serving 11 to 23 months for aggravated assault. He was
recaptured and charged with prison breach, but the case ended in a mistrial.

The ‘War on Drugs’ is failing on many fronts
By Jeff Morret (inmate at SCI Laurel Highlands)
For far too long we have viewed our nation’s drug problem through the lens of the
criminal justice system, creating grave costs to taxpayers.
The United States has been fighting our “War on Drugs” for five decades. Reaching
victory in this war is hopeless. Five decades, and we are more distant from victory than
the day we started. There has to be a reason for this.
Unknown to many is the fact that the prison system has become one of our nation’s
biggest industries. The government’s war has failed to stop the supply. Their new
strategy now is trying to arrest and incarcerate their way out of it. Another failure. We’ve
ended up with prisons full of people who cannot function when they get out. We end up
with people’s lives being shattered.
Law enforcement, by now, has to recognize they “will never” be able to arrest and
incarcerate their way out of this. Curbing and disrupting the supply with harsh
punishments will do little to no good as it has, until those on the demand side have
access to treatment.
I believe that one of the main causes of all these overdoses is the word “addict” carries
with it negative suggestions and associations: As if addiction is a living, breathing
actuality caused by the lack of morals, lack of strength or a flawed character. It’s this
stigma that society has created that keeps the ones who need help alone, hopeless and
ashamed. When people have substance abuse problems, they’re hijacked by cravings.
People who are addicts can’t just simply walk away. However, it’s not because they’re
bad or weak; it’s because the receptors in their brain are stuck in the “on call daily”
mode. It's like a craving cycle.
Addiction is an illness centered in the part of the brain that drives instinct and leads to
manipulative behaviors such as lying, cheating and stealing, which in turns leads to
shame and guilt.
All the facts, statistics and stories about heroin addiction only tell a small part of the
story. The real story is a human one. One that I’ve come to know well. If it seems as
though I’m able to see further than others on this, it’s only because I’m standing on the
shoulders of experience.
Back in the 1970s, Betty Ford admitted she was addicted to alcohol and painkillers.
When she announced this, people sat up and listened, because she had the ear of
people in power. Many have died due to this epidemic, and many more will die again.
Unfortunately, those who have learned from those lessons (the parents of dead
children) are not the ones who sit in Congress or state offices with the power to change
the system.
We have to change the way our country views addiction – not as a moral failure but as a
chronic illness that must be treated with skill, urgency and compassion. There are many
across our nation caught up in addiction. If our government really wants to approach
victory in its War on Drugs, programs must be implemented. Only then can we help
those suffering in the midst of their own storms to learn how to dance in the rain.
Jeff Morret, formerly of Dillsburg, is an inmate at Laurel Highlands state prison.

Drug addicts contributing to prison’s big numbers
By Anne Reiner
The Lycoming County Prison is swamped with an overcrowding dilemma due in large
part to the heroin epidemic running rampant throughout the community, according to
county commissioners.
Commissioners Jack McKernan and Rick Mirabito spoke during their Thursday morning
meeting about their desire to find alternate treatment options for heroin addicts, outside
of the local prison.
"There is a relationship between the heroin/opioid problem and the overcrowding issue
at the jail," Mirabito said. He added that their desire is to "find a way to separate some
of the folks at the prison who have heroin and opioid problems before. they get deep
into the criminal process."
The two commissioners met with Gary Tennis, the secretary at the Department of Drug
and Alcohol Programs for the state, to discuss possible treatment options for the county.
The meeting was encouraging, according to McKernan.
"It was a good conversation and he sounded receptive to either further discussion or
possibly coming to Lycoming County to talk about helping us out," McKernan said.
Mirabito said the commissioners are not considering building a new prison right now,
and would like to exhaust all other options first.
Previous projections for building a new prison put the project at roughly $40 million.
In other business, the commissioners unanimously approved final disbursement of
$50,000 for the Homes in Need Program with STEP Inc. This is the third payment of a
$150,000 guarantee in accordance with the Optional Affordable Housing Funds act of
1992, that distinguishes money for this specific purpose, according to Mya Toon, chief
procurement officer for the county.
The commissioners also announced that during their next Thursday meeting they will be
holding a public hearing to provide an opportunity for community members to discuss
Pennsylvania College of Technology's $60 million bond refinancing effort.
According to the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982, a hearing is required
by the IRS so that the public will have an opportunity to comment on tax-exempt funds.
The commissioners present were Mirabito and McKernan. Tony Mussare was absent.
The next commissioners meeting will be at 10 a.m. on Tuesday.

Warden: Guards foil inmate's bid to escape from Cambria County Prison
By Jocelyn Brumbaugh
EBENSBURG – Officials with the Cambria County Prison said an inmate attempted to
escape from the facility Friday night.
Christopher Sanner, 22, is a state parole violator housed at the prison, according to
Warden Christian Smith.
Court documents list Sanner's address as Philadelphia, but his previous charges were
filed in Jefferson County.
While Smith declined to provide details about exactly where Sanner's efforts to break
out took place at the prison, the warden said charges will be filed through District Judge
Frederick Creany's office for damage to the facility as well as the alleged attempted
escape.
Smith said a guard noticed Sanner's attempt to flee Friday night and immediately
informed supervisors.
"He did not ever get out of the facility," Smith said. "We uncovered his plan to escape."
Under the prison's state contract, state parole violators such as Sanner stay for about
90 days to participate in treatment programs before their release, Smith said.
According to online court records, Sanner violated his parole from 2013 charges of
simple assault, theft and false reports. He was re-sentenced in 2014 to additional
probation and jail time.

County continues to struggle with prison overcrowding
By Anne Reiner
Continuous overcrowding at the Lycoming County Prison has forced the county to begin
a third contract with an outside county for inmate housing, according to the county
authorities.
The commissioners considered an agreement with Wayne County at $66 per day on an
as-needed basis, beginning on June 23 until Dec. 17, 2017.
Previously, two agreements were made with Mifflin County, for $70 per day, and Snyder
County, for $72 per day to address prison overcrowding.
Additionally, the commissioners considered approval of an annual maintenance
agreement with Logistic Systems for software at the county 911 Center at $42,517.
According to Michael Holdren, county dispatcher, the cost of the maintenance will be
paid through 911 fees.
In other business, the commissioners considered the following Children and Youth
contracts:
Diakon Child Family & Community Ministries for foster care services for at per diems
ranging from $58.12 to $94.72 per day.
Families United Network Inc. for foster care and residential care services at per diems
ranging from $26.74 to 194.17 per day.
Catholic Social Services of the Diocese of Scranton as the sponsoring organization for
Lycoming County's Big Brother Big Sister Program for the period of Oct. 1 through June
30, not to exceed $20,500.
Angela C. Lovecchio, attorney at law for Guardian Ad Litem Services for $3,200 per
month and attorney Trisha Hoover, for substitute Guardian Ad Litem Services at $65 per
hour.
Community Solutions Inc. for the provision of multi-systemic therapy services at the per
diem rate of $65 per day for the period of July 1 through June 30, 2017.
A public comment period also revealed a complaint by Williamsport resident Frank
Steckel, who claimed he was told by a sheriff's deputy Tuesday morning to leave the
courthouse, and that he would only be allowed to return if he had official business.
Steckel said he had been in the courthouse to deliver a letter to the district attorney's
office.
The commissioners will vote on these and other issues during their 10 a.m. Thursday
meeting.
The only commissioner present was Rick Mirabito. Jack McKernan called in for a vote
on the passage of the bills. Tony Mussare was absent.

Ex-chief's son claims racial profiling in suit over road-rage case
By Peter Hall
The son of former Allentown police Chief Joel Fitzgerald, acquitted of pointing a gun at
Lehigh County detectives in a 2014 road-rage incident, claims racial profiling and
political retribution against his father played roles in his arrest and subsequent trial.
The detectives who tailed Christopher Fitzgerald in an unmarked car on their way to
meet an informant did so because Fitzgerald is black, a civil rights lawsuit filed in federal
court alleges.
Despite weak evidence, the suit claims, Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin
pressed forward with Fitzgerald's case on simple assault, reckless endangerment and
traffic charges as payback because Martin had supported another candidate for the
chief's job his father got.
And county corrections officials stripped Christopher Fitzgerald of his job as a prison
guard, even though he was found not guilty, to further penalize him, the suit claims.
The lawsuit, filed June 24 in U.S. District Court in Allentown, alleges Martin, county
detectives, Whitehall Township police and corrections officials violated Fitzgerald's
constitutional rights through malicious prosecution, false arrest and imprisonment and
deliberate indifference to his right to equal protection under the law.
It also alleges the defendants conspired to deprive Fitzgerald of his constitutional rights.
Martin, Whitehall Township Mayor Ed Hozza Jr. and Director of Corrections Edward
Sweeney said Tuesday they would not comment on the allegations. An attorney for
Fitzgerald did not respond to messages.
The lawsuit comes nearly two years after the incident that led to Fitzgerald's charges,
subsequent claims by his criminal defense attorney that they were racially motivated
and stern warnings from the district attorney that such claims could ratchet up racial
tensions in the city.
Describing the events that led to Fitzgerald's arrest, the lawsuit echoes the narrative
defense attorney Jack McMahon wove during the trial last spring when Fitzgerald was
found not guilty.
The suit states Fitzgerald was driving his fiancee to work Aug. 29, 2014, with the
couple's 1-year-old in the back seat when he noticed a sedan with dark-tinted windows
following close behind.
He was unaware that the car following him was an unmarked police vehicle driven by
county Detectives Christopher Cruz and Todd Frey, the suit says.
As a corrections officer, Fitzgerald had frequently received threats from inmates who
told him their friends on the outside could cause him harm, the suit says.
The sedan continued to tailgate despite Fitzgerald's slowing to give the other vehicle
opportunities to pass. Fitzgerald then stopped in the right lane and rolled down his
window to speak to the occupants of the other car, the suit says.
The suit claims Cruz and Frey pulled alongside Fitzgerald's car and boxed it in. Frey
opened the door of the sedan, but neither detective identified himself as a law
enforcement officer, the suit claims.
Fitzgerald then drew his handgun, which he was permitted to carry, and held it at chest
level, pointed toward the ground, according to the suit. It says Cruz and Frey then
backed away, but continued to follow Christopher Fitzgerald's car as he drove away.
They followed Christopher Fitzgerald to the parking lot of the Lehigh Valley Mall, where
uniformed Whitehall police officers joined Cruz and Frey to place Fitzgerald and his
fiancee under arrest, the suit says.
The suit alleges Cruz and Frey targeted Fitzgerald because he is black and that they
conspired to cover up their actions by giving false statements. It also alleges the district
attorney's office has a history of false arrest and unjust prosecution against members of
minorities and that it proceeded with charges against Fitzgerald because he is black.
The suit also claims Martin proceeded with Fitzgerald's prosecution because Joel
Fitzgerald held the Allentown police chief position Martin had actively sought for former
Whitehall police Chief Ted Kohuth.
In Christopher Fitzgerald's criminal trial, the detectives testified that Fitzgerald "brake
checked" them as they drove behind his car on North Seventh Street. The officers said
they had a responsibility to stop and check why the driver ahead was behaving
erratically and that they feared for their lives when Fitzgerald pulled his gun.
Jurors heard a 911 call from the detectives — whose radios were in the car's trunk
during the undercover operation — frantically calling for backup. But video recorded by
a bystander when police stopped and arrested Fitzgerald showed him calmly lying on
the ground as he shouted "I don't know who you are."
McMahon told jurors Fitzgerald displayed his gun because he was frightened for his
family's safety. Assistant District Attorney Steven Luksa told jurors Fitzgerald
"misperceived and misjudged" the situation, and committed a crime by threatening the
men with a gun.

The Altoona Mirror (07/06/2016)
Inmate cleared of prison assault
Public defender says lack of video might have made difference in Trice trial
By Kay Stephens
HOLLIDAYSBURG - A Blair County jury declined Tuesday to convict a prison inmate of
assaulting another inmate, despite testimony from three inmates, a police officer and a
deputy warden.
After about an hour of deliberation, the jury acquitted Talen A. Trice, 21, of a simple
assault charge from a Dec. 16, 2015, fight at the Blair County Prison, where inmate
Brandon J. Silver of Bellwood suffered head injuries and was knocked unconscious.
Silver identified Trice as the man who assaulted him. Fellow inmates Edwin Wilson and
Henry Garran Jr. also identified Trice as the inmate who assaulted Silver.
District Attorney Richard Consiglio put all three inmates on the witness stand, along with
Hollidaysburg Borough police officer Mark Lingafelt, who investigated the fight, and
deputy warden Mark Masucci.
"Maybe the lack of video made a difference," Chief Public Defender Russ Montgomery
said of the jury's acquittal. "I know they didn't have video of the assault, but maybe the
jury wanted to see what video they had."
Masucci said the assault took place in an area where a stationary camera's view is
blocked by a pillar. Of the video recorded at the time of the fight, Masucci said he
reviewed it and provided it to Lingafelt.
"The video wasn't helpful," Lingafelt testified.
Consiglio had Silver, Wilson and Garran testify about the fight and what they observed.
Silver said he was alone in his cell when Trice came toward him and told him to "strap
up."
"I turned around to face him, and that's when I got hit in the face," Silver testified.
Wilson said he saw Trice and Silver come out of Silver's cell, with Silver holding his
bleeding nose.
Wilson said he pushed a button to summon corrections officers for medical help, then
went to get some toilet tissue for Silver's bloody nose.
Garran said he was with Silver, listening to his account of what happened, when Trice
came toward them.
"He kind of forced me out of the way and started hitting Silver," Garran said.
"My coffee went flying," he said. "I could tell (Silver) was dazed, like Mike Tyson just hit
him."
Consiglio, surprised by the jury's verdict, said he had no explanation for it.
Jurors contacted by the Mirror either declined comment or did not return phone calls.
In his closing, Montgomery acknowledged that Silver was assaulted but suggested that
someone else may have been behind the attack.
When testifying, Silver said he had problems with some inmates and corrections
officers.
Silver also said he was previously assaulted in prison in 2013, but those assaults
weren't reported to police.
At the time of the fight, Silver was serving time in connection with theft and receiving
stolen goods.
Trice, at the time of the fight, was facing 113 charges in connection with leading police
on a high-speed chase in June 2015 and endangering hundreds of people in the
parking lot of the Logan Valley Mall where a carnival was being held. Trice
subsequently entered a guilty plea to some of those charges and was sentenced in April
to spend at least two years in prison. He has also been ordered to return to Maryland to
face attempted homicide and robbery charges.

Weak staff-search policy aids federal prison smuggling, report says
By Joe Davidson
Are prison employees behind “the persistent problem of contraband smuggling” in
federal prisons?
An investigation into the Justice Department’s Federal Bureau of Prisons cites weak
and ineffective procedures that make it easier for workers to get prohibited items to
inmates.
And employees, albeit a small percentage, do smuggle.
Justice Department news releases show seven cases of smuggling-related crimes
charged against individuals while they were federal prison employees so far this year.
That does not include staffers disciplined administratively. To put that in context,
contraband represents about 5 percent of the prison staff misconduct cases.
A new report from the department’s Office of the Inspector General says 134 BOP
staffers, less than 1 percent of the agency’s workforce, were implicated in substantiated
contraband-related investigations over the two-year period that ended in July 2014.
More employees might have been investigated directly by the prison system, but a
spokesman said he couldn’t immediately provide that information.
While the portion of employees involved is small, contraband “poses grave dangers” to
the 200,000 prison inmates, as well as staffers, visitors and the public, the report
warned. The most common prohibited items found in federal prisons during fiscal years
2012 through 2014 were cellphones.
“Inmates with cellphones can direct criminal activities from behind bars, including
intimidating witnesses and victims,” Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz said in a
statement. “Inmates also have used cellphones to coordinate escapes. We found that
cellphones are one of the most prevalent and dangerous contraband items that the BOP
recovers in federal prisons, with over 8,000 phones confiscated during a recent 3-year
period.” That’s almost eight every day.
Here’s a big problem — “BOP still does not have an effective policy for searching staff
when they enter prisons, despite our raising this issue more than 13 years ago,”
Horowitz said. “For example, we found that correctional officers and other staff entering
federal prisons are rarely subject to random pat-down searches.”
The inspector general’s analysis found that high-security federal penal institutions do
the equivalent of one random pat search every three months. A staffer could probably
escape that.
The BOP agreed with the report’s recommendations and said it “will develop and
propose changes to the staff search policy that includes a minimum frequency and
duration requirement for randomly pat searching staff.”
Lackadaisical procedures don’t stop with searches. The inspector general’s office said
prison officials do not “comprehensively and reliably” track recovered smuggled goods
and that employees need more guidance and training on new technologies to detect
contraband.
In 2003, the inspector general told prison officials they should require searches of
workers and their property when they enter facilities. Apparently it was not considered a
top priority, because a staff-search policy was not implemented until 10 years later,
following talks with the American Federation of Government Employees. That policy
lasted only two years before it was thrown out by the Federal Labor Relations Authority.
It acted on a complaint by the union’s Council of Prison Locals that the search policy
had not been “fully negotiated” with the labor organization as required.
Although prison officials agreed that the current level of staff searches are “not
conducted with enough frequency to be an aggressive and effective deterrent,” the
report says the bureau is limited because any new policy requires additional labor
negotiations.
While AFGE officials did not comment for this story, the report said union leaders
pointed out that relatively few employees engage in illegal activities and “emphasized
that random pat searches subject the rest of the rule-abiding staff to harassment,
intimidation, and coercion by institution management.” Union officials said they would
support staff searches when there is reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing.
Because it took a decade for prison officials to implement the 2003 recommendation for
staff searches, the report said, “we believe the BOP must make this issue a priority with
the goal of much more timely corrective action to improve the safety of BOP
institutions.”
The staff-search policy was reinstated with minor changes in March. While the policy
allows random staff searches, it does not dictate any level of frequency. Lax policy
means searches are rare.
Another problem is that staffers can take containers of any size into work, according to
the report, “including duffle bags, briefcases, and large and small coolers,” contrary to a
16-year-old inspector general’s office recommendation against that: “We reported in
2003 that unrestricted property and large personal containers are among the significant
methods for introducing contraband.”
This contrasts with state prison systems that “employ more stringent measures to deter
contraband introductions,” the report said.
Also, the prison system’s security camera operation has “blind spots known to inmates
and staff” that “further reduce the BOP’s ability to deter contraband introductions.”
The report concluded, “The safety and security of staff and inmates will continue to be
at risk until the BOP develops and implements a comprehensive and effective staff
search policy.”

Ex-Arkansas prison chaplain says guilty in sex assaults
By Jeannie Roberts
ASH FLAT -- Kenneth Dewitt, the former chaplain at a women's state prison, sat silently
and alone in the back row of a Sharp County courtroom Tuesday for about a half-hour
before he heard his name called.
Four rows directly in front of him sat Wendy Kelley, director of the Arkansas Department
of Correction and Dewitt's former boss. Kelley's gaze followed him, never wavering from
Dewitt as he somberly walked down the aisle to the bench of 3rd Judicial Circuit,
Division 1, Judge Harold Erwin.
Standing with his hands folded in front of him, 67-year-old Dewitt, sporting a cleanshaven head and face, and wearing a gray polo shirt and dark slacks, pleaded guilty to
sexually assaulting three female inmates at the McPherson Women's Unit in Newport.
He quietly answered, "Yes, sir," when Erwin asked if he accepted the plea deal.
Initially charged with 50 counts that carried a possible 500 years in prison, Dewitt was
sentenced to 10 years each on three counts of third-degree sexual assault, a Class C
felony. The sentences are to run concurrently. The judge suspended five years of each
sentence, meaning he will serve five years in the Arkansas Department of Correction.
Dewitt has until Aug. 8 to "get his affairs in order" before beginning his incarceration.
The former prison chaplain answered simply, "Yes, sir," to Erwin's rapid-fire procedural
questions, then looked down at his feet.
Dewitt's head shot up and he grimaced when Erwin demanded that the attorneys spell
out exactly the actions he took to merit the charges.
"Give me the facts," Erwin said.
Erwin listened as defense attorney Jeff Rosenzweig and prosecutor Henry Boyce
relayed the claims of repeated forced sexual favors from the three inmates in Dewitt's
chaplain's office at the prison unit.
"At the time of the offenses, he was an employee of the Arkansas Department of
Corrections and used that position of authority to take advantage of these women,"
Boyce said.
Dewitt stared directly into the judge's eyes and said loudly, "I did not use my position."
Dewitt never made eye contact with Kelley during Tuesday's court appearance.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson handed the reins of the Correction Department to Kelley in early
2015, the first woman to hold the position. Kelley began her tenure with the prison in
2006 as the director for health and correctional programs.
Dewitt worked for the agency from 2001 until he was asked to resign last September
amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
The allegations that spurred an investigation by the state Department of Correction's
internal affairs office and the Arkansas State Police spanned from January 2013 to
September 2014.
It happened under her watch, a fact she takes to heart.
"He didn't use his position?" Kelley asked rhetorically in an interview after the court
hearing, referring to Dewitt's earlier remarks. "He took advantage of three women for
several years. Tell me how that's not abusing your position."
Boyce looked at Kelley and nodded.
"He apparently has a different opinion than I do on the subject," Boyce said.
"He's rationalizing it," Kelley added.
She said she didn't see how the assaults occurred in such a visible location. Dewitt's
former office was on the unit's main hallway and had a floor-to-ceiling clear glass
window.
"But that clearly wasn't good enough," Kelley said, grimacing. "So we made some
moves to prevent that from ever being able to happen again."
Those moves included knocking down some office walls to make visibility unavoidable.
No other employees were reprimanded as enablers, Kelley said.
"He was calling the women to his office in the mornings when he knew everybody was
busy," she said.
Boyce said the prosecution team prepared for the trial by interviewing witnesses and
visiting the prison facilities.
"We diagrammed the office space where these crimes took place. We interviewed
several other collateral witnesses within the unit who corroborated the stories of the
three victims," Boyce said. "They consistently told the same stories as far as his modus
operandi of how he carried out these acts in his office, which in my opinion gave our
case a strong degree of believability and entered into the process of him admitting his
guilt."
The three female inmates came forward only after Dewitt was forced to resign last fall
when a former employee admitted to a "moral failure" with Dewitt. Former McPherson
Unit inmate Stacey Smith told prison authorities the sexual relationship with Dewitt
began in 2010, six years after she was paroled.
According to documents obtained under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act,
Smith continued to work with Dewitt -- first as a volunteer, then as a chaplain -spending 40 hours a week working with inmates in the faith-based Principles and
Applications for Life (PAL) program, which Dewitt founded in 1998.
Dewitt's relationship with Smith violated the department's Administrative Directive 1233, which prohibits managers from having sexual relationships with subordinates.
Applications to the faith-based initiative is competitive. As a leader and as a chaplain,
Dewitt could recommend inmates to the Classification Committee for admittance into
the program. The Parole Board looks favorably on inmates who complete the program,
a former prison official told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette previously.
"He was paid a salary and he was paid to develop that program," Kelley said outside the
courthouse. "And he was being paid when he took advantage of these women. As
taxpayers, everyone should be appalled."
With Dewitt gone from his chaplain position, Kelley said the victims were "no longer
fearful of him" and came forward.
One of the inmates told investigators that Dewitt told her that he was going to train her
as a mentor for the Principles and Applications for Life program.
On her first morning of training in 2011, the 35-year-old inmate said, Dewitt told her that
she "wanted to touch" him and "wanted to be with" him, according to the affidavits.
Dewitt stepped from behind his desk and began touching her, the affidavits say.
From that point on, the inmate said, she and Dewitt had sexual contact -- including
intercourse and oral sex.
In 2013, after having a hysterectomy, the inmate told Dewitt she wanted to end the
sexual relationship. Dewitt told her "she didn't have a choice." He threatened
disciplinary action and that he would ensure that she "would not ever go home,"
affidavits say.
The distraught inmate said she considered suicide.
A second inmate, a 40-year-old woman who was a clerk in the program, told
investigators that Dewitt repeatedly forced her to perform sexual favors from 2010 until
2014. Dewitt ordered the inmate not to tell anyone and stressed that "no one would
believe her" over him anyway.
Dewitt had a schedule, the inmate said, of sex with one female prisoner on Sunday,
another on Monday, and then another on Wednesday.
Another inmate, also a clerk in the program, said that a sexual relationship with Dewitt
began in 2010 and continued until his resignation. Dewitt began calling her to his office
at 6 a.m. on Sundays.
The former chaplain would have her sit in a chair and perform oral sex on him while he
stood at the door watching for anyone approaching down the hall, the inmate said.
The charges against Dewitt came on the heels of an announcement by the U.S.
Department of Justice in June 2015 that it was investigating the McPherson unit after
receiving "numerous allegations" of sexual abuse and sexual harassment, as well as
mistreatment of transgender women.
The investigation is not yet resolved and Kelley said that she has not received any
notice letters.
Kelley said Tuesday that attorneys from the federal agency told her that Dewitt's case
did not spawn the investigation.
"They were not aware of it when they began," Kelley said.
Dewitt hurriedly left the courtroom Tuesday after the hearing. Rosenzweig said, "No
comment," when asked about his client's feelings on the plea agreement.
Boyce was direct in why he felt a guilty plea on three counts instead of the original 50
was good enough for him.
"The average life expectancy of a man today is 77," Boyce said, pressing his lips
together. "He's 67. A five-year sentence is half of his life expectancy."

Former guard launches hunger strike to protest private prison company
By Madison Pauly
When the Corrections Corporation of America bought two halfway houses in San Diego
for $36 million in 2013, the company seemed committed to maintaining the status quo.
CCA said it hoped guards and other employees at the facilities, known as "residential
reentry" centers, would stay on. The company also announced that it would continue
operating the facilities under the old owner's name, Corrections Alternatives, because of
its "strong and positive reputation."
Yet according to a former guard, CCA's acquisition led to cutbacks in staff, food, and
programming meant to help inmates reintegrate into the community. "The transition was
ridiculous," says Mark Bartlett, who worked at the Ocean View reentry facility until he
was fired in 2015. "It's turned into a business where they're cutting corners on
everything. Whether it's with cutting staff on payroll, cutting food, the lack of nutrition,
cutting programming."
Bartlett, a 33-year-old who served as an Army prison guard in Afghanistan and grew up
near the San Diego facility, kicked off a hunger strike on Tuesday evening to protest
what he sees as poor conditions at Ocean View. He and a group of local activists have
drawn up a list of demands, compiled with the input of current inmates. Their top
demand is that San Diego County end its contracts with CCA—and they want federal
and state agencies to do the same. Bartlett says he will not eat until the demands are
met.
While he was a guard at Ocean View, Bartlett says he began reporting issues, including
forged documentation of searches and falsified hours spent training guards, to the
facility's director and to CCA's human resources office. He says he took a "stress leave"
from his job last August after he found that working in the prison was triggering his
PTSD. When he couldn't set a date to return to work, he says, the company let him go.
Bartlett doesn't have records documenting the alleged conditions inside Ocean View.
He is demanding that the federal Bureau of Prisons release its audits of the facility, and
that San Diego police and fire departments disclose community complaints about
Ocean View, as well as records of emergency calls there. He is also demanding official
investigations of staffing levels, narcotics use, sanitation, and medical care at Ocean
View.
CCA spokesman Jonathan Burns said that the company’s San Diego facilities are
"appropriately staffed," and that their staffing patterns are approved by public agencies.
According to Burns, CCA's only cutback at Ocean View in 2013 was eliminating a single
administrative position. He also says that CCA has no record of Bartlett making formal
allegations regarding employee training logs.
CCA, the country's second-largest private prison operator, leases the reentry facility at
Ocean View, which houses local, state, and federal inmates. It also owns Boston
Avenue, a federal reentry facility in San Diego, and the Otay Mesa Detention Facility, a
1,500-bed federal immigration detention center south of the city. Its acquisition of the
Ocean View and Boston Avenue facilities in 2013 was its first foray into the business of
halfway houses. Since then, its investment in the sector has grown. It currently owns or
runs 25 halfway houses with more than 5,000 beds in six states.
Inmates assigned to halfway houses are typically nearing the end of their sentences.
Some are allowed to leave the facility to go work, while others prepare for employment
in training programs and counseling. Catherine Mendonca, a women's rights activist
who will fast alongside Bartlett, wonders whether CCA's San Diego facilities are fulfilling
their promise to help inmates prepare for freedom. "If they're getting proper nutrition, if
they're getting opportunities to actually get a job—all of these are actually questionable,"
Mendonca says. "Is this actual rehabilitation? Or is this something to profit off the backs
of those incarcerated?"

--Auburn-Shooting-Federal-Charges
Auburn man indicted on charges of shooting corrections officer
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — A 31-year-old Auburn man accused of wounding a state Department of
Corrections officer during a shootout last month has been indicted on a federal weapons
charge.
A criminal complaint filed in federal court says Randy Lee Hall was the subject of an
ongoing federal firearms investigation since the spring after he "had been linked to
multiple firearms and shots-fired incidents.
The Seattle Times says Hall was charged last week with unlawful possession of a
firearm. He isn't allowed to have guns because of four prior felony convictions.
Hall was hospitalized after being wounded during a June 28 shootout with members of
the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives task force outside his
Auburn condo complex. They were trying to arrest him on an outstanding warrant out of
Bellevue.
A DOC spokesman says the wounded officer was released from a Seattle hospital
Saturday and is recovering at home.

Private prison vans’ long road of neglect (Mentions PA)
By Eli Hager and Alysia Santo
In July 2012, Steven Galack, the former owner of a home remodeling business, was
living in Florida when he was arrested on an out-of-state warrant for failing to pay child
support. Mr. Galack, 46, had come to the end of a long downward spiral, overcoming a
painkiller addiction only to struggle with crippling anxiety. Now, he was to be driven
more than a thousand miles to Butler County, Ohio, where his ex-wife and three
children lived, to face a judge.
Like dozens of states and countless localities, Butler County outsources the longdistance transport of suspects and fugitives. Mr. Galack was loaded into a van run by
Prisoner Transportation Services of America, the nation’s largest for-profit extradition
company.
Crammed around him were 10 other people, both men and women, all handcuffed and
shackled at the waist and ankles. They sat tightly packed on seats inside a cage, with
no way to lie down to sleep. The air conditioning faltered amid 90-degree heat. Mr.
Galack soon grew delusional, keeping everyone awake with a barrage of chatter and
odd behavior. On the third day, the van stopped in Georgia, and one of two guards
onboard gave a directive to the prisoners. “Only body shots,” one prisoner said she
heard the guard say. The others began to stomp on Mr. Galack, two prisoners said.
The guards said later in depositions that they had first noticed Mr. Galack’s slumped,
bloodied body more than 70 miles later, in Tennessee. A homicide investigation lasted
less than a day, and the van continued on its journey. The cause of death was later
found to be undetermined.
“This is someone’s brother, father, and it’s like nobody even cared,” said Mr. Galack’s
ex-wife, Kristin Galack.
Every year, tens of thousands of fugitives and suspects — many of whom have not
been convicted of a crime — are entrusted to a handful of small private companies that
specialize in state and local extraditions.
A Marshall Project review of thousands of court documents, federal records and local
news articles and interviews with more than 50 current or former guards and executives
reveals a pattern of prisoner abuse and neglect in an industry that operates with almost
no oversight.
Since 2012, at least four people, including Mr. Galack, have died on private extradition
vans, all of them run by the Tennessee-based Prisoner Transportation Services. In one
case, a Mississippi man complained of pain for a day and a half before dying from an
ulcer. In another, a Kentucky woman suffered a fatal withdrawal from anti-anxiety
medication. And in another, guards mocked a prisoner’s pain before he, too, died from a
perforated ulcer.
Robert Downs, the chief operating officer of P.T.S., declined to comment on the deaths.
He said guards were instructed to contact local officials when a serious medical
emergency arises. “Unless it’s life or death, we can’t open the cage on the vehicle,” Mr.
Downs said. “We don’t know if they’re setting us up for something.” This concern was
echoed by guards at several companies, who said prisoners often feigned illnesses and
injuries.
Training for guards, many of whom are military veterans, is often limited to a tutorial on
handcuffs and pepper spray and a review of policies and paperwork, leaving them
unprepared for the hazards of driving a van full of prisoners. At least 60 prisoners have
escaped from private extradition vehicles since 2000, including one who later stabbed a
police officer and another who was accused of sexual assault on a minor and is still
missing.
The companies are usually paid per prisoner per mile, giving them incentive to pack the
vans and take as few breaks as possible. Crashes have killed a dozen prisoners and
guards.
Operating primarily across the South and Midwest, guards travel up to weeks at a time
along circuitous routes, typically picking up and dropping off prisoners in 15-passenger
vans or sometimes minivans retrofitted with interior caging and darkened windows.
These vans do not have prisoner beds, toilets or medical services. Violent felons are
mixed with first-time suspects. A plexiglass divider is usually the only thing separating
women from men.
At least 14 women have alleged in criminal or civil court since 2000 that they were
sexually assaulted by guards while being transported by these companies.
“Just stay in jail. It’s better,” said Lauren Sierra, 21, who said she was repeatedly
sexually assaulted by a guard in 2014 while being transported by U.S. Corrections, a
rapidly growing company registered in North Carolina.
Ms. Sierra, who is suing the company, was taken into custody after she faced charges,
later dropped, that she used someone else’s Bed, Bath & Beyond gift card. Dustin
Baldwin, the executive director of U.S. Corrections, declined to comment beyond saying
that the accusations had not been proved.
Because the vans cross state lines, accountability falls into a gray zone. Jurisdictions
that hire the companies often disavow responsibility for prisoners not under their direct
custody, and federal regulators have largely ignored the industry.
“It’s like the airport shuttle from hell,” said Zachary Raines, a former P.T.S. guard.
Strained Jails and Budgets
At a time when a swollen United States prison and jail population has strained law
enforcement budgets, transport companies offer a significantly cheaper alternative to
traditional extradition, in which local deputies are sent miles out of state for one person.
Continue reading the main story
“Some agencies take huge advantage of the taxpayers’ money by sending deputies ‘on
vacation’ to extradite an inmate,” said Mr. Baldwin of U. S. Corrections, and pay them “a
considerable amount of overtime” for doing so. They also have to cover fuel costs or
plane tickets and, often, hotel rooms.
Private vans can save considerably by picking up and dropping off other prisoners along
the way, charging 75 cents to $1.50 a mile per prisoner.
Corrections departments in 26 states, law enforcement in cities such as Chicago,
Atlanta and Las Vegas, and local agencies nationwide use extradition companies.
Although about two dozen private prisoner transport companies have registered with the
Department of Transportation, only seven have state-level extradition contracts, with
P.T.S. having the most by far.
But maintaining tight profit margins depends on relentlessly shaving time and costs on
the road, industry veterans said.
“You route the prisoner like a package, but miss a single deadline, and you lose
money,” said Kent Bradford, a former director of operations for TransCor America, a
subsidiary of Corrections Corporation of America, the largest private prison company in
the United States. TransCor stopped performing extraditions in 2008 because of liability
and cost concerns, but still moves prisoners between C.C.A. locations.
Guards — who earn about $150 to $250 per 24-hour shift, and who rotate driving duty
— are generally paid only while they are on the road. Because they often have to pay
out-of-pocket for a hotel room, most said they rarely chose to stop.
Bunking overnight also requires finding a jail willing to offer beds and showers to
prisoners, which is difficult because jails do not always want to house unknown
prisoners from other jurisdictions.
“I’d have an exhaust fan installed in the hall to get that smell out,” said David Osborne,
who runs the Daviess County Detention Center in Kentucky, which used to be a P.T.S.
hub for transferring and housing prisoners en route.
To keep up with demand, vans drive across as many as a dozen states on a single trip.
“The bosses would be on the phone, saying, ‘What, you can’t do it? You can’t push it,
you can’t make it to the next jail?’ ” said Fernando Colon, who worked as a guard for
two years, first for a company that is now defunct and then for U.S. Corrections.
On most trips, every meal for days is a fast-food sandwich. Water is rationed and
bathroom stops limited. Prisoners who cannot wait often urinate in bottles or on
themselves, and sometimes defecate on the floor of the van, according to guards and
lawsuits.
“People were screaming, complaining, passing out. I threw up,” said Roberta Blake, 37,
who spent two weeks in 2014 being transported by P.T.S. from California to Alabama,
including a week in a stifling van.
Lacking both privacy and sanitary napkins, she had to use a cup in front of the male
guards and prisoners when she began menstruating. After another prisoner ripped off
her shirt, she spent the rest of the trip in a sports bra. Ms. Blake, whose account was
confirmed by two other prisoners in the van, had been arrested on a warrant issued
after she failed to return a rental car on time.
For some prisoners, the ride ends in serious injury, or even death.
Michael Dykes, who has diabetes, had both of his legs amputated after three days in an
Inmate Services Corporation van in July 2012. Mr. Dykes said he had already been in
declining health when he got into the van after spending nearly three weeks in a South
Carolina jail with poor medical care. But once in transport to Missouri, his condition
worsened, he said.
Black sores on his toes were exacerbated by pressure from ankle shackles, a lawsuit
alleges, and his repeated requests for medical care were ignored. His insulin, which
must be kept cold, was stored on the dashboard in the sun, Mr. Dykes said.
Randy Cagle Jr., the president of the Arkansas-based Inmate Services Corporation,
denied the accusations. “We always follow protocol and get medical information when
we pick an inmate up,” he wrote in an email. “I am confident that we will be vindicated.”
Mr. Cagle said in a brief phone interview that some prisoners lied or sued frivolously.
“You are not going to get through this business without hurting people’s feelings,” he
said. “You just have to remember to treat people fair.”
When suspects are arrested on a warrant, they often spend considerable time in a local
jail before being picked up for extradition. About a dozen guards from several transport
companies said jails provided substandard medical care and little information about
prisoners’ health status or prescribed medications, which the guards are expected to
dispense en route. Guards are not required by law to have any medical experience
other than training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
“They did an hourlong class on their policies, taught us to put on handcuffs, gave us our
uniforms and put us on the road. And then we’re expected to deal with this stuff,” said
Kenneth Adams, one of two guards aboard a P.T.S. van in which Denise Isaacs, 54,
died in Miami in 2014.
Like Mr. Galack, Ms. Isaacs began experiencing bizarre symptoms while on board:
muttering, drooling and gasping. When she was unable to climb back into the van after
a stop, the guards phoned P.T.S. headquarters. But their supervisors said to keep
going, Mr. Adams told investigators with the Miami-Dade Police Department.
“I would have taken her to the hospital,” the other guard, Kirk Westbrooks, said in an
interview with The Marshall Project. “I wanted to.”
Ms. Isaacs, who had been arrested on charges of violating probation on a theft
conviction, died a few hours later in a Taco Bell parking lot. An autopsy later found that
she had been experiencing delirium tremens caused by withdrawal from diazepam, an
anti-anxiety medication that P.T.S. staff members said they were never informed she
was taking.
The Miami-Dade police closed the investigation after determining that the death was
from natural causes.
In January of this year, P.T.S. guards transporting William Culpepper Jr., 36, from
Kentucky to Mississippi told officials at a stop at a company jail hub in Missouri that they
believed he was faking stomach pains, according to a sheriff’s report. Mr. Culpepper,
who was wanted for a parole violation, died minutes later from what the coroner
handling his case called a “perfectly treatable” perforated ulcer.
It was the second time in two years that a P.T.S. prisoner had died from a perforated
ulcer. In 2014, William Weintraub, 47, a former physics professor charged with
threatening a South Carolina newspaper over an article he disputed, was found blue
and covered in urine in the back of a P.T.S. van when it reached Georgia.
Investigators there determined that P.T.S. guards had mocked Mr. Weintraub’s
complaints of severe stomach pain. The investigation was closed.
In 1993, he molested and murdered his 11-year-old North Dakota neighbor, Jeanna
North. Six years later, he escaped from a private transport van. His absence was not
noticed for nine hours, and guards did not notify the police for another two hours. The
escape warranted a segment on “America’s Most Wanted.”
After the episode, Byron Dorgan, then a Democratic United States senator from North
Dakota, introduced a measure to impose controls on the industry. “My colleagues and I
were all shocked that a guy and his wife with an S.U.V. could start a business to haul
violent offenders around with no requirements,” Mr. Dorgan said. The law, commonly
known as Jeanna’s Act, passed in 2000.
Jeanna’s Act mandates that extradition companies must notify local law enforcement
immediately after an escape, dress violent prisoners in brightly colored clothing and
maintain a ratio of one guard for every six prisoners. It also sets broad standards for
training and background checks of guards, and for treatment of prisoners.
But the federal law is almost never enforced. The Justice Department could identify just
one instance: In 2011, a suspect accused of child molestation escaped from an
unlocked van in North Dakota, a few hours from where Jeanna had been murdered.
Local farmers cleared a cornfield to flush him out. The company, Extradition Transport
of America, was fined $80,000 and went out of business.
“Well, it’s regulated by the Department of Justice, but I’ve never seen anybody come out
to actually check on us,” said Mr. Downs, the chief operating officer of P.T.S. “We’re just
supposed to follow the guidelines.”
Extradition companies are not required to report escapes to federal regulators, and
there is no centralized tracking. But a review of dozens of local news accounts shows
that since Jeanna’s Act was passed, at least 56 prisoners were reported to have
escaped from for-profit extradition vehicles. At least 16 were reported to have
committed new crimes while on the run.
By comparison, the prison systems of California, Florida and Texas — which together
transport more than 800,000 inmates every year, most of them in-state — have each
had just one prisoner escape from transport vehicles over the same period.
“We thought we’d closed the door on this,” Mr. Dorgan said in reference to the
widespread use of small extradition companies and the escapes that have occurred.
While the Department of Transportation has no role in responding to escapes or
prisoner mistreatment, it is responsible for monitoring vehicle and driver safety,
including whether guards get enough downtime away from the wheel, under the same
regulations that govern all passenger carriers.
A Marshall Project review of Department of Transportation records shows that the
agency’s monitoring is infrequent, and companies are typically given advance notice of
an audit. Between 2000 and 2015, records indicate, the department issued fines 20
times, most below $10,000. While P.T.S. has been registered with the department since
at least 2005, the agency did not audit the company until 2009, records show. U.S.
Corrections, which was founded in 2014, was audited for the first time in March.
Because passenger carriers are not required to specify to the Transportation
Department what kinds of people they move around, a department spokesman said he
could not comment on specifics about the prisoner transport industry.
Local news reports and court records show that there have been more than 50 crashes
involving private extradition vehicles since 2000. In almost every instance, the prisoners
were shackled but not wearing seatbelts, leaving them unable to brace themselves.
In addition to the dozen deaths, a dozen prisoners have suffered injuries to their necks,
skulls or spines, according to lawsuits, hospital reports and accident reports obtained
from state and local agencies.
Fatigue seems to have played a role in many of the accidents. Of 26 accidents for which
a time could be determined, 14 occurred between midnight and 6 a.m.
Mr. Downs, who took over operations at P.T.S. after it merged last year with one of its
biggest competitors, the Florida-based U.S. Prisoner Transport, said he had taken steps
to make the company safer. The company had already installed sleeper berths for
guards in its vans.
Mr. Downs said its agents were now required to stay in a company-paid hotel room
every 36 hours, although he said that was not always possible because of scheduling
pressures. The company also has three full-size buses and has bought four larger
shuttle buses, all with bathrooms on board, in addition to its fleet of nearly 30 vans.
Guards are monitored by GPS, and their pay has been increased, Mr. Downs said.
“It’s a tough industry,” he said. “The profit margins aren’t as good as you would think
they are.” He declined to answer a list of written questions about specific occurrences in
the company’s vans.
Security Transport Services, which is based in Topeka, Kan., and has been in the
business since 1990, says it puts all prisoners in seatbelts and requires agents to stay
in a hotel every night. A Kansas sheriff said the company had also partly reimbursed his
department for the cost of a manhunt after a 2012 escape, which is required by law in
cases of negligence but rarely occurs, according to a survey of law enforcement officials
in jurisdictions where escapes occurred.
But the company charges about 30 percent more than its competitors, said Tom Rork,
its vice president. Security Transport Services has contracts with three state corrections
departments, compared with nearly 20 held by P.T.S., and it recently lost its
Pennsylvania contract to U.S. Corrections.
P.T.S. says in federal filings that it has “contracts or relationships” with about 800
agencies. It is also poised to acquire U.S. Corrections, one of its main competitors, next
month, according to a filing with the national Surface Transportation Board.
Answers Are Elusive
After Mr. Galack’s death, his brother, Robert, made repeated calls to the Tennessee
authorities, trying to determine what had happened. “I mean, he was fully in shackles
and ended up dead?” he said.
It was hard to find answers. Only one prisoner in the van, Chelsie Hogsett, told
investigators that Mr. Galack had been beaten. Another, Joseph Allen, did not confirm
the account until a later civil suit.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation decided within eight hours of arriving at the
scene that if a crime had occurred, it had happened in Georgia. It sent the van on its
way. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation declined to follow up, records show.
The medical examiner noted Mr. Galack’s injuries — a broken rib, bruises on his head,
torso, arms and legs, a broken tooth and cuts around his nose and eyes — but did not
believe they had led to his death.
The investigation was determined to be “as thorough as the circumstances warranted,”
said Josh DeVine, a spokesman for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
Anthony Dwyer, the chief deputy of the sheriff’s office in Butler County, Ohio, said he
had been told only that a prisoner had died en route, not that a beating might have been
involved. “It wasn’t really our responsibility,” he said. He said he monitored P.T.S.’s
performance by speaking to prisoners when they arrive.
Darnell Ball, one of the guards in the van that transported Mr. Galack, declined to
comment, citing a confidentiality agreement. The other, Leroy Creese, did not respond
to two attempts to contact him at an address believed to be his home. A P.T.S. official
said in a deposition taken in a civil lawsuit that Mr. Galack had sustained the injuries in
a fall in the van.
This spring, Mr. Galack’s family won a confidential settlement against P.T.S. But Mr.
Galack’s son, Jordan, found it paltry consolation. Now 20, he had talked to his father
every day on the phone and lost 30 pounds after his father’s death.
Kristin Galack said she had never had any idea what her ex-husband would face when
he was arrested. “Steve and the other people on these vans, they’ve made mistakes,”
Ms. Galack said. “But that doesn’t mean he couldn’t come back from it. People do.”
Three months after Mr. Galack was found in the back of the van, P.T.S. sent Butler
County a bill for $1,061 — the cost of the 752 miles he was transported before dying.

8 Georgia prisons on lockdown after death of inmate, brawl that injured 16
By the Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) — Authorities say eight Georgia prisons are on lockdown after a bloody
June that included the killing of an inmate in one prison and a brawl at another facility
that sent 16 inmates to hospitals.
The Georgia Department of Corrections said Wednesday that the lockdowns are a
response to rising tensions between prison gangs following the violence.
An autopsy found Joshua Brooks died of blunt force trauma after he was found
unresponsive in his cell at Calhoun State Prison in southwest Georgia on June 11.
Multiple fights broke out in Smith State Prison in south Georgia on June 20.
Authorities they've canceled visitation at the following state prisons:
Autry State Prison
Calhoun State Prison
Hancock State Prison
Macon State Prison

Nevada prisons ending segregation of HIV-positive inmates
By Cy Ryan
CARSON CITY — Faced with the threat of a federal lawsuit, the Nevada prison system
will no longer apply segregation policies that deny inmates with HIV access to work
programs where other prisoners earn credits to reduce the length of their sentences.
The state Department of Corrections “will not support denying an inmate a job or
housing an inmate differently from the general population based on the reasoning that
they have HIV or other blood-borne disease,” prisons chief James Dzurenda said.
Dzurenda instructed prison officials not to disclose the condition of HIV-infected inmates
to correctional officers or those who assign work details. He also said medical records
that identify HIV inmates must be kept confidential.
Justice Department lawyers warned Nevada's attorney general last month that they
might sue the state under the Americans with Disabilities Act if it didn't change the
policies based largely on unfounded fears about the transmission of HIV.
They recommended the state pay compensatory damages to inmates who've been
discriminated against — and in some cases threatened and harassed — as a result of
the "medically unnecessary" segregation policy that stigmatizes those with HIV.
HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, causes AIDS but cannot be transmitted
through ordinary activities such as shaking hands or sharing drinking glasses, according
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Rebecca Bond, chief of the Justice Department's Disability Rights Section, notified the
state in a June 20 letter it's violating the ADA by routinely denying HIV-infected inmates
— and some others with mobility disabilities — assignment to low-custody facilities,
including conservation camps and transitional housing where inmates earn the most
work credits.
"No inmate should have to stay in segregated housing because of a HIV diagnosis or
serve a longer sentence because of a disability," said Vanita Gupta, deputy assistant
U.S. attorney general and head of the department's Civil Rights Division.
"Real and lasting reform in Nevada will require not only systemic changes in its policies,
practices and procedures, but also a commitment to address unfounded stereotypes,
fears and assumptions about individuals with disabilities," Gupta said.
Nevada law says these inmates must be segregated from other prisoners if there is a
risk of transmitting the virus by battery, sexual activity or use of illegal drugs.
Mike Willden, chief of staff for Gov. Brian Sandoval, said there will have to be a change
in Nevada law to comply with the federal statute.
The Justice Department launched an ADA compliance review in Nevada after receiving
complaints from two inmates at the High Desert State Prison in Indian Springs. After
interviewing more than 30 inmates and more than 20 corrections workers, the
department concluded Nevada's "house alike/house alone" policy "stigmatizes inmates
with HIV and indiscriminately disclosed their confidential HIV status to NDOC
employees and inmates."
As a result, inmates with HIV have been exposed to "potential harm from inmates who
may hold unfounded fears of, or prejudices against, those with HIV," the department
said, adding that other "inmates have harassed or threatened those whom they believe
have HIV."
The department noted the CDC has concluded HIV "cannot be transmitted through
ordinary daily activities such as sharing toilets, sharing dishes or drinking glasses,
shaking hands, hugging, touching, sneezing, coughing or exposure to the saliva, tears
or sweat of a person with HIV."
Nevada's policy actually allows for inmates with HIV to work in the prison kitchen.
"But some NDOC employees either are unaware of, or have knowingly disregarded, this
policy," the report said. It said some inmates' jobs have been terminated upon discovery
that they have HIV.

Interview with Secretary Wetzel
Higher education program for inmates to be piloted at PA universities
By Megan Fair
The U.S. Department of Education has revamped a higher education program for prisoners, and four schools in the
Commonwealth have been selected to participate. Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Villanova, Bloomsburg University
and the Lehigh Carbon Community College will create the curriculum to educate prisoners selected for the grants under
the new Second Chance Pell Grant pilot.
Pennsylvania Department of Corrections Secretary John Wetzel thinks education can be the key to undoing the social
conditions that led to incarceration.
“When you look at who comes in our front door, you have to see the barriers to the success that led them to commit
crime.”
This particular program hopes to address the addiction, mental illness, lack of access to education and sustainable
employment that often leads people to become incarcerated and fall into recidivism.
“I don’t think it’s a silver bullet, but the research has been stunning in its success,” said Wetzel. He added that
throughout the pilot, the state will be tracking program statistics.
Ultimately these Pell Grants will relieve a burden on the taxpayer, Wetzel pointed out. He said it costs $42,000 a years to
incarcerate one individual, not including the financial burden on social services like foster care and the juvenile criminal
system.
“The return on investment is an absolute no‐brainer,” said Wetzel.
Wetzel added the prison population is disproportionately composed of low‐income and/or folks of color due to systemic
racism and class inequality. He hopes this will be a step in undoing some of the damage inflicted before the prisoners
were incarcerated.
In addition to the liberal arts angle that IUP, Villa Nova and Bloomsburg offer, Wetzel was pleased to see the selection of
a community college as they teach “practical, skills to be successful in their community.”
“We’re all invested in people coming out of our prisons and being successful,” said Wetzel.

Recidivism antidote: Ex‐cons need a seamless path back to Medicaid
By the Editorial Board
A person released from a county jail or state prison faces no shortage of challenges readjusting to life in society.
Accessing health care shouldn’t be one of them.
The Legislature has recognized as much by passing a change to the state Human Services Code that would suspend,
rather than terminate, Medicaid benefits while a person is incarcerated for up to two years. The change would make it
easier to restart benefits when an offender is released. That translates into quicker access to psychiatric medications
and other health care services that can help lower recidivism.
Medicaid is a federal‐state program that provides health care to the poor, which many inmates and prisoners are. Right
now, those benefits are terminated during incarceration. Some offenders, but not all, get help applying or reapplying for
Medicaid before they walk free. Jails and prisons also provide a certain amount of medication to keep released
offenders going until benefits kick back in and they can go to doctors and pharmacies again.
However, these arrangements are far from perfect. The state Department of Human Services needs more than a month
to process a Medicaid application, and some recently released offenders exhaust their prison‐supplied medications or
encounter other health problems in the interim. Inmates at county jails, which have a rapid turnover in population and
provide varying levels of re‐entry assistance, are especially vulnerable.
Offenders need stability — in health care, housing and employment — as quickly as possible if their return to society has
any chance of success. A quicker resumption of Medicaid benefits after confinement — a change pushed through the
Legislature by Republican Sen. Patricia Vance of Cumberland County — would help offenders make the most of their
new start. Faster access to Medicaid rolls also would help the state leverage more federal dollars for offenders’
medications. Gov. Tom Wolf hasn’t signed the legislation but has said he supports the concept behind it.
The state Department of Corrections and Department of Human Services had been working to streamline the re‐entry
process before the Legislature took up Ms. Vance’s bill. Some state prisons have DHS caseworkers to help with Medicaid
paperwork, and corrections officials are working with the Department of Aging to expand the services available to newly
released offenders.
These are forward‐thinking initiatives with important implications. Lower recidivism rates would be great news for
Pennsylvania.

After 37 years, inmate pleads for end to solitary confinement
By Angela Couloumbis
HARRISBURG ‐ The question for convicted murderer Arthur Johnson seemed simple: Could he explain what his days are
like, from the moment he wakes to the time he drifts off to sleep, in the 7‐by‐12‐foot prison cell where he has spent
nearly 37 years in solitary confinement?
His response was an unstoppable, eight‐minute soliloquy about despair and mistrust and lessons learned on the street,
the words spilling from his mouth in a crush of thoughts as he tried to convince a federal judge on Wednesday that
nearly four decades is enough time for any one person to spend alone.
"Every single day, you do the exact same thing," Johnson told Judge Christopher C. Conner, chief judge of the U.S.
District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, during a hearing that lasted nearly six hours. "You live by the rules,
you follow the policy, and it doesn't mean anything. . . . It doesn't count."
Johnson, 63, is serving life in prison without parole for the 1970 gang‐related murder of Jerome Wakefield in
Philadelphia. After several attempts at escape ‐ during one, he allegedly bound a prison guard and locked him in a cell ‐
he was placed in solitary
In May, he sued the state Department of Corrections, alleging that he is a victim of cruel and unusual punishment in
violation of the Eighth and 14th Amendments to the Constitution.
4
He is seeking a preliminary injunction to be released back into the general population at the State Correctional Institute
at Frackville, so he can live out the remainder of his life.
The Department of Corrections is fighting his motion, saying he remains at high risk for misbehavior and has signaled
that he has not abandoned his plans to escape as soon as he gets another chance.
Just in the last week, as Johnson was preparing to be transported to Harrisburg for the hearing, "he began to say his
good‐byes . . . and talked about prior escape attempts," Senior Deputy Attorney General Abbegael Giunta, whose office
is representing the Corrections Department, told Conner on Wednesday.
Giunta noted Johnson's level of fitness and his access to books, newspapers, a television, and a radio. She said Johnson's
cell has a small window with a view to the outside; his cell door has another window through which he can see prisoners
in the general population pass by.
"He will not suffer irreparable harm if his injunction is denied," she said.
Another hearing is scheduled for Aug. 11, during which the state will present its witnesses.
Wednesday was Johnson's time.
Led into the courtroom by eight Department of Corrections officers, Johnson shuffled to the witness stand with shackled
feet, fumbling with the microphone for the first few minutes. At first, he spoke too far away from it to be heard, then
too close to it for his voice to be anything but muffled. As he gave testimony, he kept knocking it with his hand.
Under questioning from his attorneys, Johnson said he spends 23 hours each day in his cell. He is allowed outside in the
prison yard for an hour Monday through Friday, but only in a small, caged‐in area. He is allowed showers three times a
week, and he is led there in handcuffs, with a towel wrapped around him.
Before Wednesday, when he walked into the courtroom and shook the hand of one of his attorneys, he said he had not
touched another human being in any meaningful way for nearly 37 years.
Johnson's legal team includes lawyers from the Jones Day law firm in Pittsburgh; Bret Grote from the Abolitionist Law
Center; and Jules Lobel, a professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh.
Craig Haney, a psychology professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who has researched the impact of long‐
term solitary confinement, testified Wednesday that social contact is a basic human need. Solitary confinement,
especially prolonged, "is painful. It's a stressful environment."
Johnson, he said, "has struggled to maintain his sanity."
Sitting quietly in the courtroom Wednesday was Julie Burnett, Johnson's first cousin. She said she was 4 years old when
Johnson went to prison. Seated next to her were two of Johnson's adult grandchildren, who Burnett said Johnson had
never seen ‐ and might not recognize.
As he was led out of the courtroom at the end of Wednesday's hearing, Johnson glanced their way. He nodded his head,
then shuffled off.

Lancaster man too late in request from relief from life sentence
By Lindsey Blest
A Lancaster man's request for relief 31 years into his life sentence has been denied by a Pennsylvania court.
Garey Thomas, now 68, was convicted of first‐degree murder after shooting Ricky Coward at King and Plum streets in
1984. Coward was seated on a bicycle when Thomas approached and shot him in the chest just after midnight on June
27.
A criminal complaint filed by a Lancaster city police detective described the shooting as "a planned act" and "done
intentionally with premeditation." Thomas received a life sentence in 1985.
He filed a petition for relief last year, based on a 2013 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that deemed certain mandatory
sentences unconstitutional.
If the petition had been accepted, Thomas would have been eligible for a new trial and potentially a different sentence.
5
A Lancaster County judge denied his petition in December. Thomas then filed with the state Superior Court, which also
denied him relief.
Thomas' petition was too late, according to Assistant District Attorney Julie Slabinski.
The five‐page opinion by the Superior Court states challenges after the 2013 U.S. Supreme Court ruling had to be filed
within 60 days of that ruling. Thomas filed nearly two years later, the opinion states.
Also, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling doesn't apply to sentences that are final and not on active appeal at the time of the
ruling.
Thomas is being held at the state prison in Graterford, Montgomery County.
According to newspaper records, Coward was 31 at the time of the shooting.
A report published on March 15, 1985 stated the men had been at odds since 1982 when Thomas began living with
Coward's wife. The shooting was the culmination of their differences.
Previously, Thomas had been arrested several times. In 1972, he escaped from Lancaster County Prison while serving 11
to 23 months for aggravated assault. He was recaptured and charged with prison breach, but the case ended in a
mistrial.

The ‘War on Drugs’ is failing on many fronts
By Jeff Morret (inmate at SCI Laurel Highlands)
For far too long we have viewed our nation’s drug problem through the lens of the criminal justice system, creating
grave costs to taxpayers.
The United States has been fighting our “War on Drugs” for five decades. Reaching victory in this war is hopeless. Five
decades, and we are more distant from victory than the day we started. There has to be a reason for this.
Unknown to many is the fact that the prison system has become one of our nation’s biggest industries. The
government’s war has failed to stop the supply. Their new strategy now is trying to arrest and incarcerate their way out
of it. Another failure. We’ve ended up with prisons full of people who cannot function when they get out. We end up
with people’s lives being shattered.
Law enforcement, by now, has to recognize they “will never” be able to arrest and incarcerate their way out of this.
Curbing and disrupting the supply with harsh punishments will do little to no good as it has, until those on the demand
side have access to treatment.
I believe that one of the main causes of all these overdoses is the word “addict” carries with it negative suggestions and
associations: As if addiction is a living, breathing actuality caused by the lack of morals, lack of strength or a flawed
character. It’s this stigma that society has created that keeps the ones who need help alone, hopeless and ashamed.
When people have substance abuse problems, they’re hijacked by cravings. People who are addicts can’t just simply
walk away. However, it’s not because they’re bad or weak; it’s because the receptors in their brain are stuck in the “on
call daily” mode. It's like a craving cycle.
Addiction is an illness centered in the part of the brain that drives instinct and leads to manipulative behaviors such as
lying, cheating and stealing, which in turns leads to shame and guilt.
All the facts, statistics and stories about heroin addiction only tell a small part of the story. The real story is a human
one. One that I’ve come to know well. If it seems as though I’m able to see further than others on this, it’s only because
I’m standing on the shoulders of experience.
Back in the 1970s, Betty Ford admitted she was addicted to alcohol and painkillers. When she announced this, people
sat up and listened, because she had the ear of people in power. Many have died due to this epidemic, and many more
will die again. Unfortunately, those who have learned from those lessons (the parents of dead children) are not the ones
who sit in Congress or state offices with the power to change the system.
We have to change the way our country views addiction – not as a moral failure but as a chronic illness that must be
treated with skill, urgency and compassion. There are many across our nation caught up in addiction. If our government
really wants to approach victory in its War on Drugs, programs must be implemented. Only then can we help those
suffering in the midst of their own storms to learn how to dance in the rain.

Drug addicts contributing to prison’s big numbers
By Anne Reiner
The Lycoming County Prison is swamped with an overcrowding dilemma due in large part to the heroin epidemic
running rampant throughout the community, according to county commissioners.
Commissioners Jack McKernan and Rick Mirabito spoke during their Thursday morning meeting about their desire to
find alternate treatment options for heroin addicts, outside of the local prison.
"There is a relationship between the heroin/opioid problem and the overcrowding issue at the jail," Mirabito said. He
added that their desire is to "find a way to separate some of the folks at the prison who have heroin and opioid
problems before. they get deep into the criminal process."
The two commissioners met with Gary Tennis, the secretary at the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs for the
state, to discuss possible treatment options for the county. The meeting was encouraging, according to McKernan.
"It was a good conversation and he sounded receptive to either further discussion or possibly coming to Lycoming
County to talk about helping us out," McKernan said.
Mirabito said the commissioners are not considering building a new prison right now, and would like to exhaust all other
options first.
Previous projections for building a new prison put the project at roughly $40 million.
In other business, the commissioners unanimously approved final disbursement of $50,000 for the Homes in Need
Program with STEP Inc. This is the third payment of a $150,000 guarantee in accordance with the Optional Affordable
Housing Funds act of 1992, that distinguishes money for this specific purpose, according to Mya Toon, chief
procurement officer for the county.
The commissioners also announced that during their next Thursday meeting they will be holding a public hearing to
provide an opportunity for community members to discuss Pennsylvania College of Technology's $60 million bond
refinancing effort.
According to the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982, a hearing is required by the IRS so that the public will
have an opportunity to comment on tax‐exempt funds.
The commissioners present were Mirabito and McKernan. Tony Mussare was absent.
The next commissioners meeting will be at 10 a.m. on Tuesday.

Warden: Guards foil inmate's bid to escape from Cambria County Prison
By Jocelyn Brumbaugh
EBENSBURG – Officials with the Cambria County Prison said an inmate attempted to escape from the facility Friday
night.
Christopher Sanner, 22, is a state parole violator housed at the prison, according to Warden Christian Smith.
Court documents list Sanner's address as Philadelphia, but his previous charges were filed in Jefferson County.
While Smith declined to provide details about exactly where Sanner's efforts to break out took place at the prison, the
warden said charges will be filed through District Judge Frederick Creany's office for damage to the facility as well as the
alleged attempted escape.
Smith said a guard noticed Sanner's attempt to flee Friday night and immediately informed supervisors.
7
"He did not ever get out of the facility," Smith said. "We uncovered his plan to escape."
Under the prison's state contract, state parole violators such as Sanner stay for about 90 days to participate in treatment
programs before their release, Smith said.
According to online court records, Sanner violated his parole from 2013 charges of simple assault, theft and false
reports. He was re‐sentenced in 2014 to additional probation and jail time.

County continues to struggle with prison overcrowding
By Anne Reiner
Continuous overcrowding at the Lycoming County Prison has forced the county to begin a third contract with an outside
county for inmate housing, according to the county authorities.
The commissioners considered an agreement with Wayne County at $66 per day on an as‐needed basis, beginning on
June 23 until Dec. 17, 2017.
Previously, two agreements were made with Mifflin County, for $70 per day, and Snyder County, for $72 per day to
address prison overcrowding.
Additionally, the commissioners considered approval of an annual maintenance agreement with Logistic Systems for
software at the county 911 Center at $42,517. According to Michael Holdren, county dispatcher, the cost of the
maintenance will be paid through 911 fees.
In other business, the commissioners considered the following Children and Youth contracts:
Diakon Child Family & Community Ministries for foster care services for at per diems ranging from $58.12 to $94.72 per
day.
Families United Network Inc. for foster care and residential care services at per diems ranging from $26.74 to 194.17 per
day.
Catholic Social Services of the Diocese of Scranton as the sponsoring organization for Lycoming County's Big Brother Big
Sister Program for the period of Oct. 1 through June 30, not to exceed $20,500.
Angela C. Lovecchio, attorney at law for Guardian Ad Litem Services for $3,200 per month and attorney Trisha Hoover,
for substitute Guardian Ad Litem Services at $65 per hour.
Community Solutions Inc. for the provision of multi‐systemic therapy services at the per diem rate of $65 per day for the
period of July 1 through June 30, 2017.
A public comment period also revealed a complaint by Williamsport resident Frank Steckel, who claimed he was told by
a sheriff's deputy Tuesday morning to leave the courthouse, and that he would only be allowed to return if he had
official business. Steckel said he had been in the courthouse to deliver a letter to the district attorney's office.
The commissioners will vote on these and other issues during their 10 a.m. Thursday meeting.
The only commissioner present was Rick Mirabito. Jack McKernan called in for a vote on the passage of the bills. Tony
Mussare was absent.

Ex‐chief's son claims racial profiling in suit over road‐rage case
By Peter Hall
The son of former Allentown police Chief Joel Fitzgerald, acquitted of pointing a gun at Lehigh County detectives in a
2014 road‐rage incident, claims racial profiling and political retribution against his father played roles in his arrest and
subsequent trial.
The detectives who tailed Christopher Fitzgerald in an unmarked car on their way to meet an informant did so because
Fitzgerald is black, a civil rights lawsuit filed in federal court alleges.
8
Despite weak evidence, the suit claims, Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin pressed forward with Fitzgerald's
case on simple assault, reckless endangerment and traffic charges as payback because Martin had supported another
candidate for the chief's job his father got.
And county corrections officials stripped Christopher Fitzgerald of his job as a prison guard, even though he was found
not guilty, to further penalize him, the suit claims.
The lawsuit, filed June 24 in U.S. District Court in Allentown, alleges Martin, county detectives, Whitehall Township
police and corrections officials violated Fitzgerald's constitutional rights through malicious prosecution, false arrest and
imprisonment and deliberate indifference to his right to equal protection under the law.
It also alleges the defendants conspired to deprive Fitzgerald of his constitutional rights.
Martin, Whitehall Township Mayor Ed Hozza Jr. and Director of Corrections Edward Sweeney said Tuesday they would
not comment on the allegations. An attorney for Fitzgerald did not respond to messages.
The lawsuit comes nearly two years after the incident that led to Fitzgerald's charges, subsequent claims by his criminal
defense attorney that they were racially motivated and stern warnings from the district attorney that such claims could
ratchet up racial tensions in the city.
Describing the events that led to Fitzgerald's arrest, the lawsuit echoes the narrative defense attorney Jack McMahon
wove during the trial last spring when Fitzgerald was found not guilty.
The suit states Fitzgerald was driving his fiancee to work Aug. 29, 2014, with the couple's 1‐year‐old in the back seat
when he noticed a sedan with dark‐tinted windows following close behind.
He was unaware that the car following him was an unmarked police vehicle driven by county Detectives Christopher
Cruz and Todd Frey, the suit says.
As a corrections officer, Fitzgerald had frequently received threats from inmates who told him their friends on the
outside could cause him harm, the suit says.
The sedan continued to tailgate despite Fitzgerald's slowing to give the other vehicle opportunities to pass. Fitzgerald
then stopped in the right lane and rolled down his window to speak to the occupants of the other car, the suit says.
The suit claims Cruz and Frey pulled alongside Fitzgerald's car and boxed it in. Frey opened the door of the sedan, but
neither detective identified himself as a law enforcement officer, the suit claims.
Fitzgerald then drew his handgun, which he was permitted to carry, and held it at chest level, pointed toward the
ground, according to the suit. It says Cruz and Frey then backed away, but continued to follow Christopher Fitzgerald's
car as he drove away.
They followed Christopher Fitzgerald to the parking lot of the Lehigh Valley Mall, where uniformed Whitehall police
officers joined Cruz and Frey to place Fitzgerald and his fiancee under arrest, the suit says.
The suit alleges Cruz and Frey targeted Fitzgerald because he is black and that they conspired to cover up their actions
by giving false statements. It also alleges the district attorney's office has a history of false arrest and unjust prosecution
against members of minorities and that it proceeded with charges against Fitzgerald because he is black.
The suit also claims Martin proceeded with Fitzgerald's prosecution because Joel Fitzgerald held the Allentown police
chief position Martin had actively sought for former Whitehall police Chief Ted Kohuth.
In Christopher Fitzgerald's criminal trial, the detectives testified that Fitzgerald "brake checked" them as they drove
behind his car on North Seventh Street. The officers said they had a responsibility to stop and check why the driver
ahead was behaving erratically and that they feared for their lives when Fitzgerald pulled his gun.
Jurors heard a 911 call from the detectives — whose radios were in the car's trunk during the undercover operation —
frantically calling for backup. But video recorded by a bystander when police stopped and arrested Fitzgerald showed
him calmly lying on the ground as he shouted "I don't know who you are."
McMahon told jurors Fitzgerald displayed his gun because he was frightened for his family's safety. Assistant District
Attorney Steven Luksa told jurors Fitzgerald "misperceived and misjudged" the situation, and committed a crime by
threatening the men with a gun.

Inmate cleared of prison assault
Public defender says lack of video might have made difference in Trice trial
By Kay Stephens
9
HOLLIDAYSBURG ‐ A Blair County jury declined Tuesday to convict a prison inmate of assaulting another inmate, despite
testimony from three inmates, a police officer and a deputy warden.
After about an hour of deliberation, the jury acquitted Talen A. Trice, 21, of a simple assault charge from a Dec. 16, 2015,
fight at the Blair County Prison, where inmate Brandon J. Silver of Bellwood suffered head injuries and was knocked
unconscious.
Silver identified Trice as the man who assaulted him. Fellow inmates Edwin Wilson and Henry Garran Jr. also identified
Trice as the inmate who assaulted Silver.
District Attorney Richard Consiglio put all three inmates on the witness stand, along with Hollidaysburg Borough police
officer Mark Lingafelt, who investigated the fight, and deputy warden Mark Masucci.
"Maybe the lack of video made a difference," Chief Public Defender Russ Montgomery said of the jury's acquittal. "I
know they didn't have video of the assault, but maybe the jury wanted to see what video they had."
Masucci said the assault took place in an area where a stationary camera's view is blocked by a pillar. Of the video
recorded at the time of the fight, Masucci said he reviewed it and provided it to Lingafelt.
"The video wasn't helpful," Lingafelt testified.
Consiglio had Silver, Wilson and Garran testify about the fight and what they observed.
Silver said he was alone in his cell when Trice came toward him and told him to "strap up."
"I turned around to face him, and that's when I got hit in the face," Silver testified.
Wilson said he saw Trice and Silver come out of Silver's cell, with Silver holding his bleeding nose.
Wilson said he pushed a button to summon corrections officers for medical help, then went to get some toilet tissue for
Silver's bloody nose.
Garran said he was with Silver, listening to his account of what happened, when Trice came toward them.
"He kind of forced me out of the way and started hitting Silver," Garran said.
"My coffee went flying," he said. "I could tell (Silver) was dazed, like Mike Tyson just hit him."
Consiglio, surprised by the jury's verdict, said he had no explanation for it.
Jurors contacted by the Mirror either declined comment or did not return phone calls.
In his closing, Montgomery acknowledged that Silver was assaulted but suggested that someone else may have been
behind the attack.
When testifying, Silver said he had problems with some inmates and corrections officers.
Silver also said he was previously assaulted in prison in 2013, but those assaults weren't reported to police.
At the time of the fight, Silver was serving time in connection with theft and receiving stolen goods.
Trice, at the time of the fight, was facing 113 charges in connection with leading police on a high‐speed chase in June
2015 and endangering hundreds of people in the parking lot of the Logan Valley Mall where a carnival was being held.
Trice subsequently entered a guilty plea to some of those charges and was sentenced in April to spend at least two years
in prison. He has also been ordered to return to Maryland to face attempted homicide and robbery charges.

Weak staff‐search policy aids federal prison smuggling, report says
By Joe Davidson
Are prison employees behind “the persistent problem of contraband smuggling” in federal prisons?
An investigation into the Justice Department’s Federal Bureau of Prisons cites weak and ineffective procedures that
make it easier for workers to get prohibited items to inmates.
And employees, albeit a small percentage, do smuggle.
Justice Department news releases show seven cases of smuggling‐related crimes charged against individuals while they
were federal prison employees so far this year. That does not include staffers disciplined administratively. To put that in
context, contraband represents about 5 percent of the prison staff misconduct cases.
10
A new report from the department’s Office of the Inspector General says 134 BOP staffers, less than 1 percent of the
agency’s workforce, were implicated in substantiated contraband‐related investigations over the two‐year period that
ended in July 2014. More employees might have been investigated directly by the prison system, but a spokesman said
he couldn’t immediately provide that information.
While the portion of employees involved is small, contraband “poses grave dangers” to the 200,000 prison inmates, as
well as staffers, visitors and the public, the report warned. The most common prohibited items found in federal prisons
during fiscal years 2012 through 2014 were cellphones.
“Inmates with cellphones can direct criminal activities from behind bars, including intimidating witnesses and victims,”
Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz said in a statement. “Inmates also have used cellphones to coordinate escapes.
We found that cellphones are one of the most prevalent and dangerous contraband items that the BOP recovers in
federal prisons, with over 8,000 phones confiscated during a recent 3‐year period.” That’s almost eight every day.
Here’s a big problem — “BOP still does not have an effective policy for searching staff when they enter prisons, despite
our raising this issue more than 13 years ago,” Horowitz said. “For example, we found that correctional officers and
other staff entering federal prisons are rarely subject to random pat‐down searches.”
The inspector general’s analysis found that high‐security federal penal institutions do the equivalent of one random pat
search every three months. A staffer could probably escape that.
The BOP agreed with the report’s recommendations and said it “will develop and propose changes to the staff search
policy that includes a minimum frequency and duration requirement for randomly pat searching staff.”
Lackadaisical procedures don’t stop with searches. The inspector general’s office said prison officials do not
“comprehensively and reliably” track recovered smuggled goods and that employees need more guidance and training
on new technologies to detect contraband.
In 2003, the inspector general told prison officials they should require searches of workers and their property when they
enter facilities. Apparently it was not considered a top priority, because a staff‐search policy was not implemented until
10 years later, following talks with the American Federation of Government Employees. That policy lasted only two years
before it was thrown out by the Federal Labor Relations Authority. It acted on a complaint by the union’s Council of
Prison Locals that the search policy had not been “fully negotiated” with the labor organization as required.
Although prison officials agreed that the current level of staff searches are “not conducted with enough frequency to be
an aggressive and effective deterrent,” the report says the bureau is limited because any new policy requires additional
labor negotiations.
While AFGE officials did not comment for this story, the report said union leaders pointed out that relatively few
employees engage in illegal activities and “emphasized that random pat searches subject the rest of the rule‐abiding
staff to harassment, intimidation, and coercion by institution management.” Union officials said they would support
staff searches when there is reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing.
Because it took a decade for prison officials to implement the 2003 recommendation for staff searches, the report said,
“we believe the BOP must make this issue a priority with the goal of much more timely corrective action to improve the
safety of BOP institutions.”
The staff‐search policy was reinstated with minor changes in March. While the policy allows random staff searches, it
does not dictate any level of frequency. Lax policy means searches are rare.
Another problem is that staffers can take containers of any size into work, according to the report, “including duffle
bags, briefcases, and large and small coolers,” contrary to a 16‐year‐old inspector general’s office recommendation
against that: “We reported in 2003 that unrestricted property and large personal containers are among the significant
methods for introducing contraband.”
This contrasts with state prison systems that “employ more stringent measures to deter contraband introductions,” the
report said.
Also, the prison system’s security camera operation has “blind spots known to inmates and staff” that “further reduce
the BOP’s ability to deter contraband introductions.”
The report concluded, “The safety and security of staff and inmates will continue to be at risk until the BOP develops and
implements a comprehensive and effective staff search policy.”

Ex‐Arkansas prison chaplain says guilty in sex assaults
By Jeannie Roberts
ASH FLAT ‐‐ Kenneth Dewitt, the former chaplain at a women's state prison, sat silently and alone in the back row of a
Sharp County courtroom Tuesday for about a half‐hour before he heard his name called.
Four rows directly in front of him sat Wendy Kelley, director of the Arkansas Department of Correction and Dewitt's
former boss. Kelley's gaze followed him, never wavering from Dewitt as he somberly walked down the aisle to the bench
of 3rd Judicial Circuit, Division 1, Judge Harold Erwin.
Standing with his hands folded in front of him, 67‐year‐old Dewitt, sporting a clean‐shaven head and face, and wearing a
gray polo shirt and dark slacks, pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting three female inmates at the McPherson Women's
Unit in Newport.
He quietly answered, "Yes, sir," when Erwin asked if he accepted the plea deal.
Initially charged with 50 counts that carried a possible 500 years in prison, Dewitt was sentenced to 10 years each on
three counts of third‐degree sexual assault, a Class C felony. The sentences are to run concurrently. The judge
suspended five years of each sentence, meaning he will serve five years in the Arkansas Department of Correction.
Dewitt has until Aug. 8 to "get his affairs in order" before beginning his incarceration.
The former prison chaplain answered simply, "Yes, sir," to Erwin's rapid‐fire procedural questions, then looked down at
his feet.
Dewitt's head shot up and he grimaced when Erwin demanded that the attorneys spell out exactly the actions he took to
merit the charges.
"Give me the facts," Erwin said.
Erwin listened as defense attorney Jeff Rosenzweig and prosecutor Henry Boyce relayed the claims of repeated forced
sexual favors from the three inmates in Dewitt's chaplain's office at the prison unit.
"At the time of the offenses, he was an employee of the Arkansas Department of Corrections and used that position of
authority to take advantage of these women," Boyce said.
Dewitt stared directly into the judge's eyes and said loudly, "I did not use my position."
Dewitt never made eye contact with Kelley during Tuesday's court appearance.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson handed the reins of the Correction Department to Kelley in early 2015, the first woman to hold the
position. Kelley began her tenure with the prison in 2006 as the director for health and correctional programs.
Dewitt worked for the agency from 2001 until he was asked to resign last September amid allegations of sexual
misconduct.
The allegations that spurred an investigation by the state Department of Correction's internal affairs office and the
Arkansas State Police spanned from January 2013 to September 2014.
It happened under her watch, a fact she takes to heart.
"He didn't use his position?" Kelley asked rhetorically in an interview after the court hearing, referring to Dewitt's earlier
remarks. "He took advantage of three women for several years. Tell me how that's not abusing your position."
Boyce looked at Kelley and nodded.
"He apparently has a different opinion than I do on the subject," Boyce said.
"He's rationalizing it," Kelley added.
She said she didn't see how the assaults occurred in such a visible location. Dewitt's former office was on the unit's main
hallway and had a floor‐to‐ceiling clear glass window.
"But that clearly wasn't good enough," Kelley said, grimacing. "So we made some moves to prevent that from ever being
able to happen again."
Those moves included knocking down some office walls to make visibility unavoidable. No other employees were
reprimanded as enablers, Kelley said.
"He was calling the women to his office in the mornings when he knew everybody was busy," she said.
Boyce said the prosecution team prepared for the trial by interviewing witnesses and visiting the prison facilities.
"We diagrammed the office space where these crimes took place. We interviewed several other collateral witnesses
within the unit who corroborated the stories of the three victims," Boyce said. "They consistently told the same stories
as far as his modus operandi of how he carried out these acts in his office, which in my opinion gave our case a strong
degree of believability and entered into the process of him admitting his guilt."
12
The three female inmates came forward only after Dewitt was forced to resign last fall when a former employee
admitted to a "moral failure" with Dewitt. Former McPherson Unit inmate Stacey Smith told prison authorities the
sexual relationship with Dewitt began in 2010, six years after she was paroled.
According to documents obtained under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, Smith continued to work with Dewitt
‐‐ first as a volunteer, then as a chaplain ‐‐ spending 40 hours a week working with inmates in the faith‐based Principles
and Applications for Life (PAL) program, which Dewitt founded in 1998.
Dewitt's relationship with Smith violated the department's Administrative Directive 12‐33, which prohibits managers
from having sexual relationships with subordinates.
Applications to the faith‐based initiative is competitive. As a leader and as a chaplain, Dewitt could recommend inmates
to the Classification Committee for admittance into the program. The Parole Board looks favorably on inmates who
complete the program, a former prison official told the Arkansas Democrat‐Gazette previously.
"He was paid a salary and he was paid to develop that program," Kelley said outside the courthouse. "And he was being
paid when he took advantage of these women. As taxpayers, everyone should be appalled."
With Dewitt gone from his chaplain position, Kelley said the victims were "no longer fearful of him" and came forward.
One of the inmates told investigators that Dewitt told her that he was going to train her as a mentor for the Principles
and Applications for Life program.
On her first morning of training in 2011, the 35‐year‐old inmate said, Dewitt told her that she "wanted to touch" him
and "wanted to be with" him, according to the affidavits. Dewitt stepped from behind his desk and began touching her,
the affidavits say.
From that point on, the inmate said, she and Dewitt had sexual contact ‐‐ including intercourse and oral sex.
In 2013, after having a hysterectomy, the inmate told Dewitt she wanted to end the sexual relationship. Dewitt told her
"she didn't have a choice." He threatened disciplinary action and that he would ensure that she "would not ever go
home," affidavits say.
The distraught inmate said she considered suicide.
A second inmate, a 40‐year‐old woman who was a clerk in the program, told investigators that Dewitt repeatedly forced
her to perform sexual favors from 2010 until 2014. Dewitt ordered the inmate not to tell anyone and stressed that "no
one would believe her" over him anyway.
Dewitt had a schedule, the inmate said, of sex with one female prisoner on Sunday, another on Monday, and then
another on Wednesday.
Another inmate, also a clerk in the program, said that a sexual relationship with Dewitt began in 2010 and continued
until his resignation. Dewitt began calling her to his office at 6 a.m. on Sundays.
The former chaplain would have her sit in a chair and perform oral sex on him while he stood at the door watching for
anyone approaching down the hall, the inmate said.
The charges against Dewitt came on the heels of an announcement by the U.S. Department of Justice in June 2015 that
it was investigating the McPherson unit after receiving "numerous allegations" of sexual abuse and sexual harassment,
as well as mistreatment of transgender women.
The investigation is not yet resolved and Kelley said that she has not received any notice letters.
Kelley said Tuesday that attorneys from the federal agency told her that Dewitt's case did not spawn the investigation.
"They were not aware of it when they began," Kelley said.
Dewitt hurriedly left the courtroom Tuesday after the hearing. Rosenzweig said, "No comment," when asked about his
client's feelings on the plea agreement.
Boyce was direct in why he felt a guilty plea on three counts instead of the original 50 was good enough for him.
"The average life expectancy of a man today is 77," Boyce said, pressing his lips together. "He's 67. A five‐year sentence
is half of his life expectancy."

Former guard launches hunger strike to protest private prison company
By Madison Pauly
When the Corrections Corporation of America bought two halfway houses in San Diego for $36 million in 2013, the
company seemed committed to maintaining the status quo. CCA said it hoped guards and other employees at the
facilities, known as "residential reentry" centers, would stay on. The company also announced that it would continue
operating the facilities under the old owner's name, Corrections Alternatives, because of its "strong and positive
reputation."
Yet according to a former guard, CCA's acquisition led to cutbacks in staff, food, and programming meant to help
inmates reintegrate into the community. "The transition was ridiculous," says Mark Bartlett, who worked at the Ocean
View reentry facility until he was fired in 2015. "It's turned into a business where they're cutting corners on everything.
Whether it's with cutting staff on payroll, cutting food, the lack of nutrition, cutting programming."
Bartlett, a 33‐year‐old who served as an Army prison guard in Afghanistan and grew up near the San Diego facility,
kicked off a hunger strike on Tuesday evening to protest what he sees as poor conditions at Ocean View. He and a group
of local activists have drawn up a list of demands, compiled with the input of current inmates. Their top demand is that
San Diego County end its contracts with CCA—and they want federal and state agencies to do the same. Bartlett says he
will not eat until the demands are met.
While he was a guard at Ocean View, Bartlett says he began reporting issues, including forged documentation of
searches and falsified hours spent training guards, to the facility's director and to CCA's human resources office. He says
he took a "stress leave" from his job last August after he found that working in the prison was triggering his PTSD. When
he couldn't set a date to return to work, he says, the company let him go.
Bartlett doesn't have records documenting the alleged conditions inside Ocean View. He is demanding that the federal
Bureau of Prisons release its audits of the facility, and that San Diego police and fire departments disclose community
complaints about Ocean View, as well as records of emergency calls there. He is also demanding official investigations of
staffing levels, narcotics use, sanitation, and medical care at Ocean View.
CCA spokesman Jonathan Burns said that the company’s San Diego facilities are "appropriately staffed," and that their
staffing patterns are approved by public agencies. According to Burns, CCA's only cutback at Ocean View in 2013 was
eliminating a single administrative position. He also says that CCA has no record of Bartlett making formal allegations
regarding employee training logs.
CCA, the country's second‐largest private prison operator, leases the reentry facility at Ocean View, which houses local,
state, and federal inmates. It also owns Boston Avenue, a federal reentry facility in San Diego, and the Otay Mesa
Detention Facility, a 1,500‐bed federal immigration detention center south of the city. Its acquisition of the Ocean View
and Boston Avenue facilities in 2013 was its first foray into the business of halfway houses. Since then, its investment in
the sector has grown. It currently owns or runs 25 halfway houses with more than 5,000 beds in six states.
Inmates assigned to halfway houses are typically nearing the end of their sentences. Some are allowed to leave the
facility to go work, while others prepare for employment in training programs and counseling. Catherine Mendonca, a
women's rights activist who will fast alongside Bartlett, wonders whether CCA's San Diego facilities are fulfilling their
promise to help inmates prepare for freedom. "If they're getting proper nutrition, if they're getting opportunities to
actually get a job—all of these are actually questionable," Mendonca says. "Is this actual rehabilitation? Or is this
something to profit off the backs of those incarcerated?"

Auburn man indicted on charges of shooting corrections officer
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — A 31‐year‐old Auburn man accused of wounding a state Department of Corrections officer during a shootout
last month has been indicted on a federal weapons charge.
14
A criminal complaint filed in federal court says Randy Lee Hall was the subject of an ongoing federal firearms
investigation since the spring after he "had been linked to multiple firearms and shots‐fired incidents.
The Seattle Times says Hall was charged last week with unlawful possession of a firearm. He isn't allowed to have guns
because of four prior felony convictions.
Hall was hospitalized after being wounded during a June 28 shootout with members of the federal Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives task force outside his Auburn condo complex. They were trying to arrest him on an
outstanding warrant out of Bellevue.
A DOC spokesman says the wounded officer was released from a Seattle hospital Saturday and is recovering at home.

Private prison vans’ long road of neglect (Mentions PA)
By Eli Hager and Alysia Santo
In July 2012, Steven Galack, the former owner of a home remodeling business, was living in Florida when he was
arrested on an out‐of‐state warrant for failing to pay child support. Mr. Galack, 46, had come to the end of a long
downward spiral, overcoming a painkiller addiction only to struggle with crippling anxiety. Now, he was to be driven
more than a thousand miles to Butler County, Ohio, where his ex‐wife and three children lived, to face a judge.
Like dozens of states and countless localities, Butler County outsources the long‐distance transport of suspects and
fugitives. Mr. Galack was loaded into a van run by Prisoner Transportation Services of America, the nation’s largest for‐
profit extradition company.
Crammed around him were 10 other people, both men and women, all handcuffed and shackled at the waist and ankles.
They sat tightly packed on seats inside a cage, with no way to lie down to sleep. The air conditioning faltered amid 90‐
degree heat. Mr. Galack soon grew delusional, keeping everyone awake with a barrage of chatter and odd behavior. On
the third day, the van stopped in Georgia, and one of two guards onboard gave a directive to the prisoners. “Only body
shots,” one prisoner said she heard the guard say. The others began to stomp on Mr. Galack, two prisoners said.
The guards said later in depositions that they had first noticed Mr. Galack’s slumped, bloodied body more than 70 miles
later, in Tennessee. A homicide investigation lasted less than a day, and the van continued on its journey. The cause of
death was later found to be undetermined.
“This is someone’s brother, father, and it’s like nobody even cared,” said Mr. Galack’s ex‐wife, Kristin Galack.
Every year, tens of thousands of fugitives and suspects — many of whom have not been convicted of a crime — are
entrusted to a handful of small private companies that specialize in state and local extraditions.
A Marshall Project review of thousands of court documents, federal records and local news articles and interviews with
more than 50 current or former guards and executives reveals a pattern of prisoner abuse and neglect in an industry
that operates with almost no oversight.
Since 2012, at least four people, including Mr. Galack, have died on private extradition vans, all of them run by the
Tennessee‐based Prisoner Transportation Services. In one case, a Mississippi man complained of pain for a day and a
half before dying from an ulcer. In another, a Kentucky woman suffered a fatal withdrawal from anti‐anxiety medication.
And in another, guards mocked a prisoner’s pain before he, too, died from a perforated ulcer.
Robert Downs, the chief operating officer of P.T.S., declined to comment on the deaths. He said guards were instructed
to contact local officials when a serious medical emergency arises. “Unless it’s life or death, we can’t open the cage on
the vehicle,” Mr. Downs said. “We don’t know if they’re setting us up for something.” This concern was echoed by
guards at several companies, who said prisoners often feigned illnesses and injuries.
Training for guards, many of whom are military veterans, is often limited to a tutorial on handcuffs and pepper spray and
a review of policies and paperwork, leaving them unprepared for the hazards of driving a van full of prisoners. At least
60 prisoners have escaped from private extradition vehicles since 2000, including one who later stabbed a police officer
and another who was accused of sexual assault on a minor and is still missing.
The companies are usually paid per prisoner per mile, giving them incentive to pack the vans and take as few breaks as
possible. Crashes have killed a dozen prisoners and guards.
15
Operating primarily across the South and Midwest, guards travel up to weeks at a time along circuitous routes, typically
picking up and dropping off prisoners in 15‐passenger vans or sometimes minivans retrofitted with interior caging and
darkened windows.
These vans do not have prisoner beds, toilets or medical services. Violent felons are mixed with first‐time suspects. A
plexiglass divider is usually the only thing separating women from men.
At least 14 women have alleged in criminal or civil court since 2000 that they were sexually assaulted by guards while
being transported by these companies.
“Just stay in jail. It’s better,” said Lauren Sierra, 21, who said she was repeatedly sexually assaulted by a guard in 2014
while being transported by U.S. Corrections, a rapidly growing company registered in North Carolina.
Ms. Sierra, who is suing the company, was taken into custody after she faced charges, later dropped, that she used
someone else’s Bed, Bath & Beyond gift card. Dustin Baldwin, the executive director of U.S. Corrections, declined to
comment beyond saying that the accusations had not been proved.
Because the vans cross state lines, accountability falls into a gray zone. Jurisdictions that hire the companies often
disavow responsibility for prisoners not under their direct custody, and federal regulators have largely ignored the
industry.
“It’s like the airport shuttle from hell,” said Zachary Raines, a former P.T.S. guard.
Strained Jails and Budgets
At a time when a swollen United States prison and jail population has strained law enforcement budgets, transport
companies offer a significantly cheaper alternative to traditional extradition, in which local deputies are sent miles out of
state for one person.
Continue reading the main story
“Some agencies take huge advantage of the taxpayers’ money by sending deputies ‘on vacation’ to extradite an inmate,”
said Mr. Baldwin of U. S. Corrections, and pay them “a considerable amount of overtime” for doing so. They also have to
cover fuel costs or plane tickets and, often, hotel rooms.
Private vans can save considerably by picking up and dropping off other prisoners along the way, charging 75 cents to
$1.50 a mile per prisoner.
Corrections departments in 26 states, law enforcement in cities such as Chicago, Atlanta and Las Vegas, and local
agencies nationwide use extradition companies. Although about two dozen private prisoner transport companies have
registered with the Department of Transportation, only seven have state‐level extradition contracts, with P.T.S. having
the most by far.
But maintaining tight profit margins depends on relentlessly shaving time and costs on the road, industry veterans said.
“You route the prisoner like a package, but miss a single deadline, and you lose money,” said Kent Bradford, a former
director of operations for TransCor America, a subsidiary of Corrections Corporation of America, the largest private
prison company in the United States. TransCor stopped performing extraditions in 2008 because of liability and cost
concerns, but still moves prisoners between C.C.A. locations.
Guards — who earn about $150 to $250 per 24‐hour shift, and who rotate driving duty — are generally paid only while
they are on the road. Because they often have to pay out‐of‐pocket for a hotel room, most said they rarely chose to
stop.
Bunking overnight also requires finding a jail willing to offer beds and showers to prisoners, which is difficult because
jails do not always want to house unknown prisoners from other jurisdictions.
“I’d have an exhaust fan installed in the hall to get that smell out,” said David Osborne, who runs the Daviess County
Detention Center in Kentucky, which used to be a P.T.S. hub for transferring and housing prisoners en route.
To keep up with demand, vans drive across as many as a dozen states on a single trip. “The bosses would be on the
phone, saying, ‘What, you can’t do it? You can’t push it, you can’t make it to the next jail?’ ” said Fernando Colon, who
worked as a guard for two years, first for a company that is now defunct and then for U.S. Corrections.
On most trips, every meal for days is a fast‐food sandwich. Water is rationed and bathroom stops limited. Prisoners who
cannot wait often urinate in bottles or on themselves, and sometimes defecate on the floor of the van, according to
guards and lawsuits.
“People were screaming, complaining, passing out. I threw up,” said Roberta Blake, 37, who spent two weeks in 2014
being transported by P.T.S. from California to Alabama, including a week in a stifling van.
Lacking both privacy and sanitary napkins, she had to use a cup in front of the male guards and prisoners when she
began menstruating. After another prisoner ripped off her shirt, she spent the rest of the trip in a sports bra. Ms. Blake,
16
whose account was confirmed by two other prisoners in the van, had been arrested on a warrant issued after she failed
to return a rental car on time.
For some prisoners, the ride ends in serious injury, or even death.
Michael Dykes, who has diabetes, had both of his legs amputated after three days in an Inmate Services Corporation van
in July 2012. Mr. Dykes said he had already been in declining health when he got into the van after spending nearly three
weeks in a South Carolina jail with poor medical care. But once in transport to Missouri, his condition worsened, he said.
Black sores on his toes were exacerbated by pressure from ankle shackles, a lawsuit alleges, and his repeated requests
for medical care were ignored. His insulin, which must be kept cold, was stored on the dashboard in the sun, Mr. Dykes
said.
Randy Cagle Jr., the president of the Arkansas‐based Inmate Services Corporation, denied the accusations. “We always
follow protocol and get medical information when we pick an inmate up,” he wrote in an email. “I am confident that we
will be vindicated.”
Mr. Cagle said in a brief phone interview that some prisoners lied or sued frivolously. “You are not going to get through
this business without hurting people’s feelings,” he said. “You just have to remember to treat people fair.”
When suspects are arrested on a warrant, they often spend considerable time in a local jail before being picked up for
extradition. About a dozen guards from several transport companies said jails provided substandard medical care and
little information about prisoners’ health status or prescribed medications, which the guards are expected to dispense
en route. Guards are not required by law to have any medical experience other than training in cardiopulmonary
resuscitation.
“They did an hourlong class on their policies, taught us to put on handcuffs, gave us our uniforms and put us on the
road. And then we’re expected to deal with this stuff,” said Kenneth Adams, one of two guards aboard a P.T.S. van in
which Denise Isaacs, 54, died in Miami in 2014.
Like Mr. Galack, Ms. Isaacs began experiencing bizarre symptoms while on board: muttering, drooling and gasping.
When she was unable to climb back into the van after a stop, the guards phoned P.T.S. headquarters. But their
supervisors said to keep going, Mr. Adams told investigators with the Miami‐Dade Police Department.
“I would have taken her to the hospital,” the other guard, Kirk Westbrooks, said in an interview with The Marshall
Project. “I wanted to.”
Ms. Isaacs, who had been arrested on charges of violating probation on a theft conviction, died a few hours later in a
Taco Bell parking lot. An autopsy later found that she had been experiencing delirium tremens caused by withdrawal
from diazepam, an anti‐anxiety medication that P.T.S. staff members said they were never informed she was taking.
The Miami‐Dade police closed the investigation after determining that the death was from natural causes.
In January of this year, P.T.S. guards transporting William Culpepper Jr., 36, from Kentucky to Mississippi told officials at
a stop at a company jail hub in Missouri that they believed he was faking stomach pains, according to a sheriff’s report.
Mr. Culpepper, who was wanted for a parole violation, died minutes later from what the coroner handling his case called
a “perfectly treatable” perforated ulcer.
It was the second time in two years that a P.T.S. prisoner had died from a perforated ulcer. In 2014, William Weintraub,
47, a former physics professor charged with threatening a South Carolina newspaper over an article he disputed, was
found blue and covered in urine in the back of a P.T.S. van when it reached Georgia.
Investigators there determined that P.T.S. guards had mocked Mr. Weintraub’s complaints of severe stomach pain. The
investigation was closed.
In 1993, he molested and murdered his 11‐year‐old North Dakota neighbor, Jeanna North. Six years later, he escaped
from a private transport van. His absence was not noticed for nine hours, and guards did not notify the police for
another two hours. The escape warranted a segment on “America’s Most Wanted.”
After the episode, Byron Dorgan, then a Democratic United States senator from North Dakota, introduced a measure to
impose controls on the industry. “My colleagues and I were all shocked that a guy and his wife with an S.U.V. could start
a business to haul violent offenders around with no requirements,” Mr. Dorgan said. The law, commonly known as
Jeanna’s Act, passed in 2000.
Jeanna’s Act mandates that extradition companies must notify local law enforcement immediately after an escape, dress
violent prisoners in brightly colored clothing and maintain a ratio of one guard for every six prisoners. It also sets broad
standards for training and background checks of guards, and for treatment of prisoners.
But the federal law is almost never enforced. The Justice Department could identify just one instance: In 2011, a suspect
accused of child molestation escaped from an unlocked van in North Dakota, a few hours from where Jeanna had been
17
murdered. Local farmers cleared a cornfield to flush him out. The company, Extradition Transport of America, was fined
$80,000 and went out of business.
“Well, it’s regulated by the Department of Justice, but I’ve never seen anybody come out to actually check on us,” said
Mr. Downs, the chief operating officer of P.T.S. “We’re just supposed to follow the guidelines.”
Extradition companies are not required to report escapes to federal regulators, and there is no centralized tracking. But
a review of dozens of local news accounts shows that since Jeanna’s Act was passed, at least 56 prisoners were reported
to have escaped from for‐profit extradition vehicles. At least 16 were reported to have committed new crimes while on
the run.
By comparison, the prison systems of California, Florida and Texas — which together transport more than 800,000
inmates every year, most of them in‐state — have each had just one prisoner escape from transport vehicles over the
same period.
“We thought we’d closed the door on this,” Mr. Dorgan said in reference to the widespread use of small extradition
companies and the escapes that have occurred.
While the Department of Transportation has no role in responding to escapes or prisoner mistreatment, it is responsible
for monitoring vehicle and driver safety, including whether guards get enough downtime away from the wheel, under
the same regulations that govern all passenger carriers.
A Marshall Project review of Department of Transportation records shows that the agency’s monitoring is infrequent,
and companies are typically given advance notice of an audit. Between 2000 and 2015, records indicate, the department
issued fines 20 times, most below $10,000. While P.T.S. has been registered with the department since at least 2005, the
agency did not audit the company until 2009, records show. U.S. Corrections, which was founded in 2014, was audited
for the first time in March.
Because passenger carriers are not required to specify to the Transportation Department what kinds of people they
move around, a department spokesman said he could not comment on specifics about the prisoner transport industry.
Local news reports and court records show that there have been more than 50 crashes involving private extradition
vehicles since 2000. In almost every instance, the prisoners were shackled but not wearing seatbelts, leaving them
unable to brace themselves.
In addition to the dozen deaths, a dozen prisoners have suffered injuries to their necks, skulls or spines, according to
lawsuits, hospital reports and accident reports obtained from state and local agencies.
Fatigue seems to have played a role in many of the accidents. Of 26 accidents for which a time could be determined, 14
occurred between midnight and 6 a.m.
Mr. Downs, who took over operations at P.T.S. after it merged last year with one of its biggest competitors, the Florida‐
based U.S. Prisoner Transport, said he had taken steps to make the company safer. The company had already installed
sleeper berths for guards in its vans.
Mr. Downs said its agents were now required to stay in a company‐paid hotel room every 36 hours, although he said
that was not always possible because of scheduling pressures. The company also has three full‐size buses and has
bought four larger shuttle buses, all with bathrooms on board, in addition to its fleet of nearly 30 vans. Guards are
monitored by GPS, and their pay has been increased, Mr. Downs said.
“It’s a tough industry,” he said. “The profit margins aren’t as good as you would think they are.” He declined to answer a
list of written questions about specific occurrences in the company’s vans.
Security Transport Services, which is based in Topeka, Kan., and has been in the business since 1990, says it puts all
prisoners in seatbelts and requires agents to stay in a hotel every night. A Kansas sheriff said the company had also
partly reimbursed his department for the cost of a manhunt after a 2012 escape, which is required by law in cases of
negligence but rarely occurs, according to a survey of law enforcement officials in jurisdictions where escapes occurred.
But the company charges about 30 percent more than its competitors, said Tom Rork, its vice president. Security
Transport Services has contracts with three state corrections departments, compared with nearly 20 held by P.T.S., and
it recently lost its Pennsylvania contract to U.S. Corrections.
P.T.S. says in federal filings that it has “contracts or relationships” with about 800 agencies. It is also poised to acquire
U.S. Corrections, one of its main competitors, next month, according to a filing with the national Surface Transportation
Board.
Answers Are Elusive
After Mr. Galack’s death, his brother, Robert, made repeated calls to the Tennessee authorities, trying to determine
what had happened. “I mean, he was fully in shackles and ended up dead?” he said.
18
It was hard to find answers. Only one prisoner in the van, Chelsie Hogsett, told investigators that Mr. Galack had been
beaten. Another, Joseph Allen, did not confirm the account until a later civil suit.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation decided within eight hours of arriving at the scene that if a crime had occurred, it
had happened in Georgia. It sent the van on its way. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation declined to follow up, records
show.
The medical examiner noted Mr. Galack’s injuries — a broken rib, bruises on his head, torso, arms and legs, a broken
tooth and cuts around his nose and eyes — but did not believe they had led to his death.
The investigation was determined to be “as thorough as the circumstances warranted,” said Josh DeVine, a spokesman
for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
Anthony Dwyer, the chief deputy of the sheriff’s office in Butler County, Ohio, said he had been told only that a prisoner
had died en route, not that a beating might have been involved. “It wasn’t really our responsibility,” he said. He said he
monitored P.T.S.’s performance by speaking to prisoners when they arrive.
Darnell Ball, one of the guards in the van that transported Mr. Galack, declined to comment, citing a confidentiality
agreement. The other, Leroy Creese, did not respond to two attempts to contact him at an address believed to be his
home. A P.T.S. official said in a deposition taken in a civil lawsuit that Mr. Galack had sustained the injuries in a fall in the
van.
This spring, Mr. Galack’s family won a confidential settlement against P.T.S. But Mr. Galack’s son, Jordan, found it paltry
consolation. Now 20, he had talked to his father every day on the phone and lost 30 pounds after his father’s death.
Kristin Galack said she had never had any idea what her ex‐husband would face when he was arrested. “Steve and the
other people on these vans, they’ve made mistakes,” Ms. Galack said. “But that doesn’t mean he couldn’t come back
from it. People do.”
Three months after Mr. Galack was found in the back of the van, P.T.S. sent Butler County a bill for $1,061 — the cost of
the 752 miles he was transported before dying.

8 Georgia prisons on lockdown after death of inmate, brawl that injured 16
By the Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) — Authorities say eight Georgia prisons are on lockdown after a bloody June that included the killing of an
inmate in one prison and a brawl at another facility that sent 16 inmates to hospitals.
The Georgia Department of Corrections said Wednesday that the lockdowns are a response to rising tensions between
prison gangs following the violence.
An autopsy found Joshua Brooks died of blunt force trauma after he was found unresponsive in his cell at Calhoun State
Prison in southwest Georgia on June 11. Multiple fights broke out in Smith State Prison in south Georgia on June 20.

Nevada prisons ending segregation of HIV‐positive inmates
By Cy Ryan
19
CARSON CITY — Faced with the threat of a federal lawsuit, the Nevada prison system will no longer apply segregation
policies that deny inmates with HIV access to work programs where other prisoners earn credits to reduce the length of
their sentences.
The state Department of Corrections “will not support denying an inmate a job or housing an inmate differently from
the general population based on the reasoning that they have HIV or other blood‐borne disease,” prisons chief James
Dzurenda said.
Dzurenda instructed prison officials not to disclose the condition of HIV‐infected inmates to correctional officers or
those who assign work details. He also said medical records that identify HIV inmates must be kept confidential.
Justice Department lawyers warned Nevada's attorney general last month that they might sue the state under the
Americans with Disabilities Act if it didn't change the policies based largely on unfounded fears about the transmission
of HIV.
They recommended the state pay compensatory damages to inmates who've been discriminated against — and in some
cases threatened and harassed — as a result of the "medically unnecessary" segregation policy that stigmatizes those
with HIV.
HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, causes AIDS but cannot be transmitted through ordinary activities such as
shaking hands or sharing drinking glasses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Rebecca Bond, chief of the Justice Department's Disability Rights Section, notified the state in a June 20 letter it's
violating the ADA by routinely denying HIV‐infected inmates — and some others with mobility disabilities — assignment
to low‐custody facilities, including conservation camps and transitional housing where inmates earn the most work
credits.
"No inmate should have to stay in segregated housing because of a HIV diagnosis or serve a longer sentence because of
a disability," said Vanita Gupta, deputy assistant U.S. attorney general and head of the department's Civil Rights Division.
"Real and lasting reform in Nevada will require not only systemic changes in its policies, practices and procedures, but
also a commitment to address unfounded stereotypes, fears and assumptions about individuals with disabilities," Gupta
said.
Nevada law says these inmates must be segregated from other prisoners if there is a risk of transmitting the virus by
battery, sexual activity or use of illegal drugs.
Mike Willden, chief of staff for Gov. Brian Sandoval, said there will have to be a change in Nevada law to comply with the
federal statute.
The Justice Department launched an ADA compliance review in Nevada after receiving complaints from two inmates at
the High Desert State Prison in Indian Springs. After interviewing more than 30 inmates and more than 20 corrections
workers, the department concluded Nevada's "house alike/house alone" policy "stigmatizes inmates with HIV and
indiscriminately disclosed their confidential HIV status to NDOC employees and inmates."
As a result, inmates with HIV have been exposed to "potential harm from inmates who may hold unfounded fears of, or
prejudices against, those with HIV," the department said, adding that other "inmates have harassed or threatened those
whom they believe have HIV."
The department noted the CDC has concluded HIV "cannot be transmitted through ordinary daily activities such as
sharing toilets, sharing dishes or drinking glasses, shaking hands, hugging, touching, sneezing, coughing or exposure to
the saliva, tears or sweat of a person with HIV."
Nevada's policy actually allows for inmates with HIV to work in the prison kitchen.
"But some NDOC employees either are unaware of, or have knowingly disregarded, this policy," the report said. It said
some inmates' jobs have been terminated upon discovery that they have HIV.

We were originally hoping to use Cambria County for the basic training academy with our new officers this
year. Cambria has changed their plans, and isn’t being as we would want.
I contacted the main academy at Elizabethtown. They will be running academies beginning 8/22, 10/10, and 11/21 (I’m
sure with a modified schedule around Thanksgiving). The fee is still $800 per person for the 4 weeks, with lodging
guaranteed. The coordinator who handles registration said if we register early, she doesn’t see an issue accepting us for
4, 3, and 3 per class for these 10.
We would need to work out whether we’re providing them a county vehicle to go back and forth, or letting them get
reimbursed for mileage. Otherwise, meals and lodging are in the fee.
We would do Firearms and TASER here, since we use different handguns and they don’t do TASER at all.
I think this is our best option right now. Other County academies are further away, and with lodging costs at a hotel
would probably cost more overall to utilize. I would like to get our thoughts together early next week when the new
COs are here (I need to get military orders for the rest of the year from the one), and send in registrations as outlined
above to know we’re set for academies.

Good Morning,
We are considering applying for an Office of Victim of Crime grant that would support the development and
enhancement of partnerships between county jails and their local rape crisis center. This would be appropriate for jails
and rape crisis centers that have an interest in developing a formal relationship. This grant focuses on the following
Prison Rape Elimination Act standards: “115.221 Evidence protocol and forensic medical examination and “115.53
Inmate access to outside confidential support services.
The goals and deliverables of this grant include:
Under this grant, selected victim service organizations shall—
(1) partner with underserved correctional agencies ( i.e., agencies that do not already have formalized partnerships with
victim service providers), including, but not limited to, local jails, local juvenile facilities, and community confinement
facilities;
(2) collaborate with the partner correction agency to develop agreed‐upon victim advocacy services, response protocols,
and method of delivering services;
(3) cross‐train victim service and correction facilities staff on the provision and delivery of victim services to incarcerated
survivors;
(4) work with the facility to provide inmate education about the availability of victim services;
(5) develop a program plan for implementation;
(6) provide direct services to incarcerated survivors; and
(7) prepare a plan for program sustainability.
The entire solicitation can be found here
Please let me know your level of interest by the COB Monday July 11, as the deadline for this grant is July 25.
Please let know if there are any questions
Thank you

RE: Planned OMSe outages
All,
The next set of work will be happening at 10a today, so please get any information you need, save your work, and log
out of OMSe.
Email and other computer functions will not be affected.
I will let you know when we receive word that the work has been finished and you can log back in

There are two planned outages for OMSe coming up to do some maintenance on the system.
The first will be this Friday 7/1 at 10am, and is expected to last an hour.
The second will be next Thursday 7/7 at 10am, and is expected to last up to three hours.
Please plan to get any information entered or looked up ahead of time where you can; officers in housing units will need
to make back‐up officer log entries on the appropriate form.
Other systems such as email, share drives, Microsoft office programs, etc. will not be affected by this, as the work is all
on the OMSe server.
If everything goes as planned, you will not notice any changes to the system when it returns to use.

Centre County, PA—With spring in the air, Centre County and the League of
American Bicyclists, the National Organization of Bicyclists, announced that
May was National Bike Month, May 16th to the 20th was Bike to Work Week
and Friday, May 20th was Bike to Work Day. The Centre County Commissioners urged everyone to bike to work or try cycling for fun, fitness or transportation. To celebrate Bike to Work Week, President Judge Thomas Kistler and
Vice Chair of the Centre County Commissioners, Mark Higgins biked from
State College to the Courthouse in Bellefonte on Tuesday, May 17th. This is a
distance of about 14 miles through the beautiful countryside between State
College and Bellefonte. They arrived at the Courthouse around 7:30AM.
The Judge and the Commissioner both said, “Biking to work is an efficient and
fun way to get the exercise you need, without having to find extra time to work
out. And this year, with gasoline prices rising again, biking to work makes
more sense than ever.” For more information visit www.centrecountypa.gov.
Following are some tips that will help you enjoy biking to work more.
Have your bike checked over by your local bike shop.
Always wear a helmet to protect your head in the event of a crash.
Ride in the right-most lane that goes in the direction that you are traveling.
Obey all stop signs, traffic lights and lane markings.
Look before you change lanes or signal a turn; indicate your intention, then
act.
Be visible and predictable at all times; wear bright clothing and signal turns.

The following employees were recognized for their exemplary service during the past
year:
7-3 OFFICER OF THE YEAR: OFFICER KEVIN MCCOOL
3-11 OFFICER OF THE YEAR: OFFICER KELLY EVANS
11-7 OFFICER OF THE YEAR: OFFICER BRIAN BEALS
These staff members were Honored at the May 12, 2016 Prison Board Meeting.
An inspection regarding compliance with PA Title 37 was held by the Pennsylvania
Department of Corrections on March 15, 2016. Our Facility achieved 100% compliance
on the inspection. This level of compliance was achieved with all staff working together
as a TEAM. We regularly receive comments from the public that the facility is immaculately clean and has the appearance of a facility that only recently opened. In fact, the
facility opened in 2005. Our Staff consistently dress and act in a professional manner.
The Staff are caring and concerned about the safety of the public, safety and well being
of both the staff and inmates.
Prior to Warden Smith’s assignment to the Centre County Correctional Facility he was
approached by four men that had been incarcerated at CCCF. They stated that they
were embarrassed to admit that they had been incarcerated in several correctional
facilities in their life, but stated that the only place they were ever incarcerated where
they felt safe was in the Centre County Correctional Facility. As a Corrections Professional that was the ultimate compliment that facility staff can receive. This means that
our staff operate the facility in a caring, fair and humane manner having complete
control of the facility.

2016 National Corrections Officer’s Week May 1—May 7
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 5187 creating “National Corrections Officers’
Week.” The first full week in May has since been recognized as National Correctional Officers’ Week to
honor the work of correctional officers and correctional personnel nationwide.
In 1996, Congress officially changed the name of the week to National Correctional Officers and Employees Week. The names of 585 correctional officers are engraved on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. These courageous heroes are forever remembered, and their light continues to shine
through their memory, and through the selfless men and women who continue to serve each day.
Proclamation 5187 - National Correctional Officers Week, 1984
May 5, 1984
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Correctional officers have the difficult and often dangerous assignment of ensuring the custody, safety and well-being of the over 600,000 inmates in our Nation's prisons and jails. Their position is essential to the day-to-day operations of these institutions; without them it would be impossible to
achieve the foremost institutional goals of security and control.
Historically, correctional officers have been viewed as "guards," occupying isolated and misunderstood positions in prisons and jails. In recent years, the duties of these officers have become increasingly complex and demanding. They are called upon to fill, simultaneously, custodial, supervisory and
counseling roles. The professionalism, dedication and courage exhibited by these officers throughout
the performance of these demanding and often conflicting roles deserve our utmost respect. The important work of correctional Officers often does not receive the recognition from the public it deserves. It is appropriate that we honor the many contributions and accomplishments of these men
and women who are a vital component of the field of corrections.
In recognition of the contributions of correctional officers to our Nation, the Congress, by Senate
Joint Resolution 132, has designated the week beginning May 6, 1984, as "National Correctional Officers Week," and authorized and requested the President to issue an appropriate proclamation.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the
week beginning May 6, 1984, as National Correctional Officers Week. I call upon officials of State and
local governments and the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.

Organization offering hope
in opiate, heroin epidemic
There is an opiate and
heroin epidemic sweeping
our nation, and it is directly
affecting our local commu-
nity by taking lives and
devastating families.
In September 2015, the
Centre County Criminal
Justice Advisory Board, a
board that has been in-
strumental in developing,
expanding and implement-
ing a variety of successful
programs and initiatives
within Centre County,
created a drug overdose
subcommittee.
They were tasked with
examining drug overdoses
and overdose-related
deaths occurring within the
county and to determine
what steps should be taken.
According to the Centre
County Coroner?s Of?ce,
there were 16 overdose-
related deaths in 2014, 15
deaths in 2015 and already
in 2016, there have been 12
overdose deaths.
In each of these deaths,
it was determined that
COMMUNITIES
either heroin or multiple
drugs were used. Many
non-fatal overdoses occur
but are not always record-
ed. Given this alarming
information, the subcom-
mittee quickly realized that
something needs to be
done to bring awareness to
the community and work to
reduce the number of over-
doses and overdose-related
deaths in Centre County.
At the beginning of 2016,
the subcommittee began to
meet more frequently and
representatives from addi-
tional entities were in-
cluded in those meetings.
By May 2016, the sub-
committee evolved and the
Centre County Heroin,
Opiod, Prevention, Educa-
tion Initiative was formal-
ized. This group includes
the Board of Commission-
ers, the coroner and repre-
sentatives from the Centre
County CIAB, Dnig and
Alcohol Of?ce, Criminal
Justice Planning Depart-
ment, law enforcement,
Mount Nittany Medical
Center, District Anomcy?s
Office, Probation Depart.
ment, county EMS/first
responders, Centre County
Correctional Facility, Youth
Service Bureau and Chil-
dren and Youth Services.
vision is to col-
laboratively work to elim-
inate substance abuse,
including the unsettling
rise in opiate drug use and
overdoses. They plan to
achieve this goal through
dedicated outreach, effec-
tive education, raising
awareness and offering
support and treatment
options to all members of
our community.
This year, the Ferguson
Township, Patton Town-
ship and State College
police departments began
carrying Naloxone,an
opioid overdose anecdote.
One of many initiatives
HOPE is working on is to
bring awareness to the
community about the Good
Samaritan Law, a law that
permits certain criminal
and civil protections for
those who reach out to the
authorities for help in an
overdose emergency. For
the law to apply, the person
witnessing an overdose
must call 911, remain on
scene and cooperate with
authorities. Individuals are
encouraged not to run but
to stay and call for help in
order to save a life.
HOPE has scheduled a
town hall meeting for 7-9
pm. July 26 in the Mount
Nittany Medical Center
auditorium to begin to
raise awareness and in-
volve the community in
?ghting the opiate and
heroin epidemic. Members
of the community are
strongly urged to attend
the meeting to provide
their perspective on the
issue and learn more about
what they can do to be-
come involved. Together,
we can work toward erad-
icating drug overdoses and
overdose deatln in our
community.

PREA AUDIT REPORT 6/14/2016
PREA Compliance Manager: Jeffrey T. Hite
AUDIT FINDINGS (NARRATIVE) (Auditor: Patrick Zirpoli)
The first Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) audit of the Centre County Correctional Facility took place on June 8,
2016 and June 9, 2016. The purpose of the audit was to determine compliance with the Prison Rape Elimination
Act standards which became effective August 20, 2012. Prior to the on-site portion of the audit I reviewed all
policies and data pertaining to the PREA Standards. The facility was posted on March 1, 2016, allowing time for
inmates to respond to me in writing, no inmates responded. I mailed a flash drive to the facility on March 1,
2016, this was returned to me on May 16, 2016, allowing ample time to review all policies and procedures prior
to the onsite audit. All documentation requested by me was provided in a timely and efficient manner, any follow up requests were acted upon immediately.
I wish to extend my appreciation to Warden Richard C. Smith and all of the staff for their professionalism they
demonstrated throughout the audit and their willingness to comply with all request and recommendations
made. I would also like to thank Centre County Correctional Facility Prison Board for their commitment to the
operations of the Centre County Correctional Facility, and their dedication to the safety of the staff, as well as
their dedication to the care, custody and control of the inmates incarcerated at the facility.
I need to recognize Director of Treatment/PREA Coordinator Jeffrey T. Hite, and Lieutenant Jonathan Millinder. It
is through their dedication and overall work ethic that Centre County Correctional Facility performed exceptionally well during the PREA Audit. They worked with me tirelessly through the audit process, and fulfilled any request I made. I would like to also recognize the Treatment staff for their assistance in preparation for the PREA
Audit, and organizing all of the requested material for review.
The administration of the facility, more specifically the Lieutenant’s, need to be recognized for their overall dedication to the operations of the facility, and their availability to the inmates. During the inmate interviews every
interviewee expressed the accessibility of the administration, and especially the Lieutenant’s. Every interviewee
told me that they are constantly touring the housing units and are available for questions and always take the
time to assist if an inmate is having a problem. Furthermore the inmates related that they would check on them
the next time they were making rounds through the block.
Prior to the onsite audit I had several opportunities to discuss the audit process, and expectations of the facility
with Director of Treatment/PREA Coordinator Jeffrey T. Hite.
Upon my arrival on June 8, 2016 I met with Warden Richard C. Smith., Deputy Warden Melanie Gordon, Director
of Treatment/PREA Coordinator Jeffrey T. Hite, Lieutenant Jonathan Millinder, and Krista Davis, Centre County
Risk Management Coordinator. We discussed the audit process and the schedule for the next two days, it was at
this time that I requested a copy of the current inmate population and staff schedules for the next four shifts.
Page 13
Centre County Government
A NOTE FROM:
PRISON
After the entrance meeting I was given a tour of all areas of the facility. During this tour informal interviews
were conducted with both staff and inmates in several different areas. I viewed the complete facility, all areas
were accessible to me during the audit tour.
During the interview portion of the audit twenty one formal staff interviews were conducted, as well as in depth
discussions with other staff available during the tour. Included in the interviews were the Warden, Deputy Warden, PREA Coordinator, Medical Staff, Shift Supervisors, Counselors, Kitchen Staff, Volunteers, and First Line Staff.
The staffs interviewed were randomly selected by obtaining a copy of all staff working during the audit, I then
selected random staff from different areas within the facility, as well as all three shifts.
Also during the interview portion twenty inmates at the facility were interviewed. I selected the inmates by randomly selecting them from the current population sheet, the inmates were selected from all housing units. The
selected inmates included those who have identified as gay or bisexual, inmates identified as high risk for sexual
victimization, and inmates who reported sexual harassment.
All of the interviews were conducted in a very efficient manner; this was accomplished by the efforts of all staff
of the Centre County Correctional Facility, but more specifically Treatment/PREA Coordinator Jeffrey T. Hite, Lieutenant Jonathan Millinder.
The facility was prepared for the onsite audit and performed extremely well. Looking at the overall performance
of the facility I was impressed with not only the facilities operations but the overall agencies operations and response to incidents of sexual abuse or sexual harassment. The seriousness of incidents of this nature are not
overlooked by both staff and inmates alike. The interactions with the staff were positive and all were extremely
helpful in making the audit process run as seamless as possible.
I utilized an overall methodology to make my determination of compliance with the standards. This included a
complete review of all policies and documentation provided to me prior to the onsite audit. The documentation
was then corroborated through visual inspection of the facility, as well as interviews with staff and inmates. I
was able to determine that the facility has the policies in place to address all standards, and has put these policies into daily practice. In the standard-by-standard discussion I have specifically identified the policies and documentation utilized during this process, these policies and documentation are listed verbatim in italic type. I have
also listed any visual evidence, as well as interviews that aided.
Centre County Correctional Facility has exceeded in 4 standards, met 38 standards, and 1 standard is not applicable to the facility. This determination was made after reviewing all materials provided during the pre-audit, the
interviews and facility tour conducted during the audit, and the final review of all findings.
Number of standards not met = 0

TOWN HALL MEETING: The Heroin and Opioid Crisis in
Centre County on Tuesday, July 26, 2016, at the Galen and
Nancy Dreibelbis Auditorium of the Mount Nittany Medical
Center from 7:00 to 9:00 PM.
The Centre County HOPE (Heroin and Opioid Prevention and Education)
Initiative is a coalition compromised of local representatives from County
government, the courts, law enforcement, the medical profession, the treatment field, and a variety of community organizations that are concerned about
the heroin and opioid/prescription drug epidemic currently sweeping across
the nation and the Commonwealth. The mission of Centre County Hope
Initiative is to bring various community agencies together to work collaboratively with community members to eliminate substance abuse, including the
unsettling rise in opiate drug use, overdoses, and overdose deaths.
In recent years drug overdose deaths have surpassed the number of motor
vehicle accident deaths, and are now the leading cause of accidental death
across the United States. The Centers for Disease Control reported there were
47,055 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2014, and 2,489 of those
deaths occurred in Pennsylvania. That means in 2014, nearly 7 people died
each day of a drug overdose in Pennsylvania. Centre County has not escaped
this epidemic. According to the Centre County Coroner, 15 people died as a
result of drug overdoses in 2015, and 12 people have died of overdoses during
the first six months of 2016.
In Pennsylvania and around the country, opiate addiction affects men and
women of all ages, races, geographic locations, and socio-economic status.
Anyone can become addicted. Anyone! The Centre County HOPE Initiative
seeks to raise awareness not only about the national heroin and opioid
epidemic, but also the impact the crisis is having on our state, and most
importantly our local community. All are welcome to attend, which is the first
in a series of three planned town hall meetings. To RSVP or for additional
information please call 814-234-6727.

Treasurer?s
Office
As most of you know our of?ce along with our agents? process annual and lifetime dog licenses. Did you
know we process over 11,500 licenses per year? Our busiest months are January thru April when the
new licenses become available and when Dog Law does sweeps. This year we tried to keep track of
some ofthe most interesting names, the oldest dog to still have a license and the most dogs for one
owner.
The most dogs owned by a single person is 15. Imagine licensing, feeding that many dogs along with vet
bills and everything that goes along with owning a dog.
The oldest dog we have record ofis a poodle that is 18 years old, that is 126 in human years.

A NOTE FROM:
EMA
On May 7th, 2016,
the Centre Co.
EMA office participated in a joint
search and rescue
exercise with Medic 24, Howard and
Milesburg Fire
companies, The PA
National Guard,
PEMA – PaHART,
(Helicopter Aerial
Rescue Team and
Life Lion medivac.
The scenario was
an injured ATV
rider and it took place at the DCNR Bloody Skillet ATV trails located in Curtin Twp. PaHART is a joint effort between
PEMA, National Guard and the Pa. Fish and Boat commission conservation officers that specializes in hoisting
patients through tree canopies or swift water rescue by utilizing Nat. Guard Black Hawk helicopters. The patient was
located after several hours of searching on ATV’s, then hoisted to a Black Hawk helicopter and then transferred to a
Life Lion helicopter several miles away at an open clearing.
The photo to the
right is a Hazmat
clean up that
occurred due to a
tractor-trailer
crash that
occurred on SR
322 near the
Philipsburg State
Police station on
05/18/16 at 1 am in
the morning. The
scene took
approx. 16 hrs. to
clean up and clear
wreckage. The
acid in the tanker
had to pumped
into another tanker truck and both county Hazmat teams responded. The highway was shut down for an extended
period and the driver of truck was regrettably deceased.

A NOTE FROM:
EMA
On May 12th a tabletop exercise was
held by PEMA with
our Emergency
Operation Center
staff. On June 1st we
had a functional
certification exercise
with PEMA that
include numerous
disaster scenarios
being placed upon us
in a several hour
window. This was
designed to test and
stress our capabilities and personnel to
see how we would
respond. Since then PEMA has advised that we passed and they will meet with us with an improvement plan to become even more effective in the near future. The Centre Co. EMA office would like to thank and commend all of the
county employees and volunteers who made this possible and will help in time of a real disaster. Job Well Done!
On May 14th, the Centre Co.
Animal Response Team
hosted training for Centre
and numerous other counties at the Grange fairgrounds. The all-day training consisted of classroom
and hands on sessions like
the one above where a special rescue harness is used
to pick a horse. The team
also responds out of the

ceiling. Forcefully press your tongue flat to the roof of your mouth. Then, keeping your tongue against the
roof of your mouth, lower your chin to your chest as far as possible without rounding your upper back. You
should feel your chin and the front of your neck contract. Then relax your tongue and straighten your neck
to return to the starting position. That’s one rep. Complete two sets of 20 reps each.
Pout and Tilt
From a sitting or standing position, stick out your lower lip as far as you can to form a pout (place a finger
on your chin; the skin should feel wrinkly and puckered). Hold this contraction for one second. Then, with
your lip still out, contract the muscles at the front of your neck to lower your chin to your chest as far as
possible without rounding your upper back. Pause and hold for another second, then relax your lips and
straighten your neck to return to the starting position. That’s one rep. Complete two sets of 20 reps each.
2
Kiss the Ceiling
Standing tall with your arms hanging at your sides, tilt your head back so that you are looking at the ceiling.
Then try to kiss the ceiling by puckering your lips and extending them as far away from your face as
possible. You should feel a tightening throughout your neck and chin. Hold for five seconds, then relax
your lips and lower your chin to return to the starting position. That’s one rep. Complete two sets of 15
reps each.
