This is what I came up with for the searches per month out in intake. If there’s anything you need changed or fixed let
me know. It’s not totally complete yet. For some reason my average searches from 7a to 12a didn’t calculate down at
the bottom of the page as you can see. I am not a guru when it comes to excel completely. I had CO Witherite help
calculate the averages for everything so I will need his help again to fix that when he gets back from work then it will be
complete. Any questions just shoot me an email.
Thanks,

Housing Plans A and B
Warden,
Plan A:
After looking at the numbers, if we were going to follow through with closing the C‐units, we would need to send back
some of our out of county inmates. With the numbers today, we would be 32 male beds short to accommodate our
population. Please keep in mind, this would not allow us any room for special circumstances, such as, Suicide Watches,
Single Cell Status, and State Inmates.
The plan would be to:
1. Close housing units C1, C2 and C3. (rehousing 56 male inmates and 26 female inmates)
2. Change A3 and A4 Housing Units to Female General Population (rehousing 59 male inmates)
3. Change B2 Housing Unit to Male General Population (rehousing 49 female inmates)
Total Male beds required = 115
Total Female beds required = 75
Housing Unit A1 (40) would remain Male Population Disciplinary Custody and Pre‐Class inmates ‐ Open beds 17
(Unavailable ‐ only for DC and pre‐class)
Housing Unit A2 (38) would remain Male General Population – Open Beds 12
Housing Unit A3 (40) changed to Female General Population Females can be accommodated at this time –
with 4 open beds
Housing Unit A4 (39) changed to Female General Population
Housing Unit B1 (56) would remain Male General Population – Open Beds 15
Housing Unit B2 (56) changed to Male General Population – Open Beds 56
Intake, Clothing, Medical, Transport – Open Beds 16 (Unavailable ‐ temporary housing only)
Total Male beds open = 83 – 115 (number of male beds required) = ‐32 beds
Total Female beds open = 79 – 75 (number of females bed required) = 4 open
beds
Plan B:
The plan would be to:
1. Close A3 Housing Unit (rehouse 31 male inmates)
Total Male Beds required = 31
Total Male Beds Open in A2, A4, B1, C1 and C2 = 80
Please let me know if there is anything else you would like me to do.

Subject: PRC Announcements
Good afternoon.
The following is a summary of the latest news, resources, upcoming events, and webinars offered by the National PREA
Resource Center (PRC), which is operated by the National Council on Crime and Delinquency through a cooperative
agreement with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA).
TTA Provider Solicitation—Request for Applications
Beginning in 2017, the PRC aims to use a pool of individual consultants to serve as field-initiated technical assistance
providers to deliver training and technical assistance (TTA) on behalf of the PRC. The PRC requests applications from
highly qualified individuals who seek to become contracted providers. Individuals will be selected based on their
knowledge of the PREA standards, expertise with the corrections and detention fields, and their demonstrated experience
interfacing with this audience through past provision of TTA. In-depth knowledge of the PREA standards and some prior
experience with TA delivery is required. PREA auditor certification is preferred but not required. Individuals may be
associated with an organization, but the contract for services will be directly with the individual.
To learn more about the opportunity, click here.
Opportunity for Facilities: Field Training Program
In response to the need to increase the number of active certified PREA auditors, the PRC, in collaboration with BJA’s
PREA Management Office, is proud to offer the Field Training Program (FTP). This program provides additional support
and training opportunities for auditors—beyond the classroom training—and will assist facilities in preparing for PREA
compliance audits. There is no cost to facilities to participate in this unique training opportunity.
To learn more about the FTP and read testimonials from previous host facilities, click here. The application to be a host
facility in 2017 will be opening in the fall of 2016.
Additional Auditors
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) recently certified a number of individuals as PREA auditors. These qualified
3
individuals participated in a 40-hour training and passed a cumulative exam at the conclusion of the training. There are
currently 780 DOJ-certified PREA auditors; of those, 652 are certified to audit adult facilities, 259 to audit juvenile facilities,
and 131 to audit both. More names will be added as DOJ continues the certification process.

Subject: Overhead Rec Doors
All staff,
Due to the higher temperatures we’ve been experiencing recently, our geothermal system’s wells have been heating up
as well. This makes cooling less efficient overall, and if it gets bad enough could shut down the system entirely.
To avoid that, which would be a health hazard to some inmates with health issues, the overhead garage doors must
remain closed 24/7 to allow the system to keep up with itself. The overnight lows and humidity are not going to go low
enough to affect the system so the overhead doors will not be opened evenings or overnight either.
All overhead doors will remain closed through Friday 8/19, at which time we will re‐evaluate with Maintenance based on
the system temperatures and forecast.
Thank you,
Melanie Gordon, CJM, CCE

OPIOID ARTICLES
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (08/08/2016)
http://www.post-gazette.com/news/overdosed/2016/08/08/Jails-officials-doctorsdivided-on-the-care-of-opioid-addicted-inmates/stories/201608050195
Jail officials, doctors divided on care of opioid-addicted inmates
By Maia Silber / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
First came the vomiting. For days, Crystal Lynn Rathbun heaved everything in
her guts, until she felt like her body had been drained.
Then came the insomnia. Nearly a month passed before she could stay asleep in
her cell for more than four or five hours a night. She felt cold all the time, even
though she wore two sweatshirts, two jumpsuits, and two sets of underwear.
Correctional facilities such as Allegheny County Jail, where Ms. Rathbun awaited
trial on heroin possession and child endangerment charges, are on the front lines
of the nation’s addiction epidemic. Most of the 1.5 million incarcerated Americans
who abuse alcohol or drugs undergo cold-turkey detox behind bars. For opioid
users, it’s a horrible experience, but one that often fails to deter them from using
again on the outside.
Today, Ms. Rathbun is clean, enrolled in a recovery program, and trying to spend
more time with her four children. She’s lucky: Many who detox in jail relapse, and
sometimes overdose, upon their release, or else end up behind bars again. As
jail officials struggle to care for the men and women shaking and shivering in
their cells, they remain divided about how to keep them clean -- and alive-- once
they leave.
Research has shown that maintenance treatments like methadone and
buprenorphine reduce relapse and overdose. Because these drugs are opioids
themselves, though, many jails are reluctant to provide them to anyone except
pregnant women, who can miscarry during withdrawal. Fewer than 40
correctional facilities nationwide offer such drugs, according to a Pew Stateline
study.
No county jails in southwestern Pennsylvania offer methadone or buprenorphine
to inmates suffering from opioid withdrawal. In interviews, some wardens cited
the cost and security risks associated with maintenance treatments as barriers.
Others expressed their aversion to the drugs.
“I’m not going to bring those drugs into the facility,” said Warden Brian S. Miller of
Fayette County. “If you were a gambler and you were in the casino every day of
the week… and I locked you in a room and gave you scratch-off tickets, how’s
that helping?”
Patients, not criminals
Warden Edward E. Strawn has worked at Washington County Jail for over two
decades. “Twenty-five years ago, I dealt with criminals,” he said. “Today, I deal
with patients.”
He described addiction as a “burden” on jails as well as society, diverting
resources and attention he thinks would be better spent on violent perpetrators.
Officials at Armstrong and Fayette counties estimated that as many as four out of
five of their inmates go through some sort of withdrawal.
“It seems like almost everyone who comes in is detoxing from something,” Acting
Warden Michael Kraus of Greene County said.
Like Mr. Strawn, Louis Gaston, a physician at Armstrong County Jail, has worked
in the same facility for more than two decades. He too has noted the spread of
opioid addiction. “It’s overloading the system,” he said. In 2015, Armstrong had a
higher per capita overdose death rate than any other Pennsylvania county except
Philadelphia.
Not only do opioid users often wind up in jail, they are often incarcerated multiple
times. According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at
Columbia University, inmates who were under the influence of drugs or alcohol at
the time of their arrests had been arrested an average of 5.9 times before.
“It’s a revolving door,” said Jennifer Passarelli, the deputy warden of
security/treatment at Butler County Prison.
“They’re Gonna be Sick”
At county jails across Southwestern Pennsylvania, the process of identifying and
treating people like Ms. Rathbun begins at intake, where correctional officers
administer drug tests and monitor inmates for signs of withdrawal — shaking,
sweating, or drifting off in the middle of a conversation. Usually, guards do not
have to wait for such signs.
Opioid users “are honest with you,” Mr. Strawn said. “They know they’re gonna
be sick.”
Withdrawal looks and feels a little like a severe case of the flu, many say. “It’s
hard to watch,” said Destiny Salsgivers, a nurse at Armstrong County Jail. “It’s
uncontrollable.”
Inmate deaths from opioid withdrawal -- alcohol withdrawal is far more dangerous
-- are rare, but since 2015, there have been at least four high-profile cases
nationwide.
Especially because detox increases the risk of suicide, most jails either house
detoxing inmates in direct observation areas or check on them at regular
intervals. Some counties, such as Armstrong, are creating observation units with
glass doors, so guards can watch inmates with substance abuse issues around
the clock.
Armstrong and Indiana have also piloted programs through which departing
inmates get Vivitrol, a drug that prevents them from craving opioids for 30 days, if
they agree to seek treatment upon their release.
"I don’t think we have good evidence [the Vivitrol is] going to work,” said Dr.
Kevin Fiscella, an addiction specialist at the University of Rochester. He cited a
New England Journal of Medicine study that found that adult criminal offenders
who used naltrexone (the generic name for Vivitrol) were less likely to relapse
during treatment, but might still falter afterwards. More research, he said, would
be needed to support the drug’s use.
Even officials at jails that have expended special effort to connect inmates with
treatment programs on the outside find that many users wind up back behind
bars -- or worse.
Laura Williams, the Director of Substance Abuse Programs at Allegheny County
Jail, says she often hears about the fate of former inmates from those who return
to jail. “They’ll say, “You know, so-and-so, they didn’t make it.’”
At a fact-finding hearing at Allegheny County Courthouse on Tuesday, Dr. Latika
Davis-Jones of Allegheny’s Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services said that county
overdose data has shown that many died of overdose within 30 days of jail
release.
Breathing Room
The state prison system will develop a plan to keep inmates on prescribed
maintenance drugs, according to Secretary of Corrections John Wetzel. A review
of 14 studies of buprenorphine and methadone use in jails and prisons found
lower rates of relapse associated with those treatments.
In southwestern Pennsylvania, though, jail officials cited both practical and
philosophical concerns about such drugs. Medication assisted treatments, like
other programs to support inmates recovering from addiction, require money and
resources.
Warden Phillip Shaffer of Armstrong County believes that the decision to use
methadone or buprenorphine is a personal one, but he does not think that it’s
necessary for jails to provide such drugs.
“We just do what’s absolutely necessary, because it’s taxpayers’ money,” he
said.
According to Todd Haskins, the vice president of operations at PrimeCare, a
medical provider for several Pennsylvania correctional facilities, a monthly supply
of buprenorphine brands Subutex and Suboxone for one person would cost
about $80 to $100 a month, not much more than many other prescription
medications. From the jail’s perspective, of course, that’s still an additional cost.
Still, the National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates a savings of over $12 in
reduced substance-related crime, criminal justice, and health care costs for every
dollar spent on treatment.
Other jail officials cited security concerns. “We try to avoid any type of addictive
narcotic,” Warden Strawn of Washington County said. “It’s usually not good for
people to know we’ve got that stuff locked up in here.”
Some wardens expressed skepticism about drugs such as methadone and
buprenorphine. “While [users] are here, they have the best chance of getting
clean,” said Warden Bill Schouppe of Beaver. “If they’re here for an extended
period of time, you have a better chance of putting them through a treatment
program without any issues.”
Some experts think detox in jail doesn't address addiction. “The idea that a
punishing withdrawal is going to discourage use is naive and is not supported by
any data we have over the last 50 years,” said Dr. Fiscella.
“The whole idea of detox is a flawed one,” said Dr. Josiah D. Rich, a professor at
Brown University and the director of the Center for Prisoner Health and Human
Rights. The idea that jails “just stop you from taking this medication for a period
of time and then put you back into your same environment and expect you to be
cured, is absurd."
Some though, think that these effects come at a cost. “To me, it’s just substituting
one addiction for another,” said Ms. Salsgiver of Armstrong County.
Dr. Rich offered a different perspective. “What these treatments do is allow
people to have the breathing room to move in the direction of recovery,” he said.

Data give insight on opioid addiction in Allegheny County
By Elizabeth Behrman
Allegheny County health officials have pinpointed where the most people are
fatally overdosing on opiates, who is mostly likely to overdose and when.
All the details are outlined in a report compiled by the Allegheny County Health
Department and Allegheny County Department of Human Services, which
officials say will help them tackle the opioid epidemic.
The report, released Wednesday, includes data from the Allegheny County
Medical Examiner's Office, ambulance reports and hospital emergency rooms
about the more than 1,300 opioid overdose deaths that have occurred since
2008.
“In particular, we were interested in determining whether we were missing out on
opportunities for interventions,” said Karen Hacker, director of the Allegheny
County Health Department.
According to the report, more than 82 percent of the people who overdosed did
so less than a mile from their homes. The communities that are especially “high
risk” are Spring Hill-City View, Sharpsburg, Penn Hills, Allentown, Beechview, Mt.
Oliver Borough and Carrick.
The report found that 211 of the 1,355 people who overdosed since 2008 had
been released from jail in the year before their deaths. About 36 percent of those
who overdosed had received mental health treatment in the year before their
deaths, and about 25 percent had received substance abuse treatment.
Deaths from heroin overdoses have been increasing since 2011, the report
notes.
The county has implemented numerous programs to combat the spike in opioid
overdoses, including distribution of the antidote naloxone, but those strategies
aren't having the impact health officials would hope for, Hacker said.
“I do not think this report is the do all to end all, but I think it gives us one more
step in trying to understand the dimensions of this issue,” Hacker said.
The data will help county officials make recommendations — some of which are
outlined in the report — about how to engage and protect the susceptible groups,
said Marc Cherna, director of the Allegheny County Department of Human
Services.
Some of the strategies include making naloxone and drug abuse education more
available in high-risk communities, providing more drug take-back programs and
working with mental health and substance abuse counselors to closely monitor
for opioid addiction.
“Knowing where people are dying and how they're dying and who it is helps us
target those populations to try to make an impact,” Cherna said.

OPINION-EDITORIAL
It's not enough to save overdose victims - we have to get them treatment, too
By Gary Tennis
In counties where municipal police have taken up the call to carry naloxone,
the life-saving medication has been a critical tool during a time of
unprecedented drug overdose deaths.
Police across Pennsylvania have reversed more than 1,200 opioid overdoses
since November 2014.
They've saved hundreds of lives and spared thousands of loved ones the
debilitating grief that accompanies these senseless, avoidable deaths.
But the volume of reversals indicates just how serious this crisis is. In 2015,
nearly 3,400 Pennsylvanians died of drug overdose. We expect 2016 will be
higher.
Saving lives is critical. People with the disease of addiction have no hope of
recovery if they are dead.
But saving lives is not enough. Administering naloxone, a medication that can
temporarily reverse an opioid overdose, is not enough.
It is only a tool to save lives.
We've got to get overdose survivors into treatment.
We've got to get overdose survivors into treatment.
And so this past January, the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs
(DDAP) developed a new "warm handoff" policy.
A warm handoff is the direct transfer of overdose survivors from the hospital
emergency department to a drug treatment provider as opposed to merely
giving them a phone number to call or setting up a subsequent appointment a
day or two later.
As part of its contractual agreement with county drug and alcohol authorities,
DDAP mandated that these authorities, also called Single County Authorities,
develop, implement, and maintain a plan for screening, assessment, treatment
and tracking of overdose survivors to obtain immediate, appropriate and
seamless care.
Most warm handoff plans thus far hinge on strong working relationships with
hospital employees, who contact the county authorities when they see an
overdose victim.
Case management teams, under direction of the county authorities, also are
critical, immediately meeting with survivors and their family in the emergency
department.
These teams may include certified recovery specialists, who are people in
recovery from addiction who work with survivors on a peer-to-peer basis.
It's the team's job, then, to convince the survivor of the need for treatment,
provide a clinical assessment and immediately facilitate transfer to a treatment
program.
Early results indicate the policy is working.
In Berks County, the Council on Chemical Abuse has partnered with Treatment
Access and Services Center (TASC) of Berks County.
The Berks County recovery support staff is on-call 24 hours a day, seven days
a week to work with overdose survivors in emergency departments.
Since March, the team has responded to approximately six emergency
department overdose survivor calls per week. Approximately 75 percent of
those survivors are entering treatment.
The Armstrong-Indiana-Clarion (AIC) Drug and Alcohol Commission has had
great success, too. Nearly 50 percent of individuals referred to the AIC warm
handoff team have accessed treatment.
As in Berks County, developing strong relationships with hospital staff has
been critical. AIC's case managers and certified recovery specialist are viewed
as integral parts of the hospital staff, even though they are not hospital
employees.
Their work is essential in getting patients to agree to go to treatment.
A case on point: Through April, hospital personnel have referred 86 individuals
to the AIC case management team.
Of the 86 referrals, 48 assessments were completed. Of those 48, 41 were
admitted to treatment, meaning 85 percent of those individuals who met with
the case management team went to treatment.
Although treatment bed availability is a challenge, AIC's commitment to
scouring treatment centers for an empty bed is paying dividends.
In Westmoreland County, the success story is much the same. The
Westmoreland Drug and Alcohol Commission was the first SCA in Western
Pennsylvania to implement a warm handoff process.
Since late 2014, 248 referrals for a clinical assessment have been made.
Of 171 assessments completed, 165 individuals were referred to some level of
treatment services, and 90 people went to treatment within one day of being
discharged from the hospital.
Fifty-eight completed the recommended treatment services.
Other SCAs have already begun taking warm handoff to the next level. The
Washington County Drug and Alcohol Commission and Dauphin County Drug
and Alcohol Services are implementing a process whereby their teams will
respond directly to the scene of an overdose, knowing that many who
overdose don't go to the emergency department.
Attempting to treat those with the disease of addiction presents myriad
challenges: limited funding, lack of treatment beds and a condition marked by
denial, rationalization and justification, to name a few.
Yet as these case studies demonstrate, with the right leadership, expertise,
creativity and commitment, state government can drive effective policy that
immediately improves and saves lives.
As Pennsylvania continues to battle the worst public health crisis of the last
100 years, saving lives is a priority.
But it is not the goal. The goal is saving lives and enabling recovery from the
disease. The warm handoff policy is helping us do just that.
Gary Tennis is secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol
Programs.

Allentown Morning Call (08/10/2016)
http://www.mcall.com/news/breaking/mc-allentown-juvenile-lifer-resentenced-tobe-released-20160810-story.html
After nearly 38 years in prison, Allentown teen killer wins chance of release
By Riley Yates
ALLENTOWN -- It was a moment Wednesday that the once 16-year-old
Allentown killer had waited 37 years, eight months and 29 days for.
It was a moment that the family of Joseph G. Romeri's victim had hoped would
never come.
Long condemned to spend his life in prison without hope of parole, the now 54year-old Romeri will suddenly have the opportunity to be released.
Under a landmark ruling that has reshaped the way the justice system treats
juveniles who commit the most serious of crimes, Romeri was resentenced to a
time-served to life term that makes him eligible for parole after spending more
than two-thirds of his life incarcerated.
"I hope you know in your heart that I will never, ever commit another crime,"
Romeri told Lehigh County Judge James Anthony. "I will never create another
victim. I will never appear in a courtroom in handcuffs again."
In 1978, Romeri and another teen bludgeoned to death 80-year-old Stella
Bremmer in her Oak Street bedroom, her wounds so grievous she had a closedcoffin funeral. Romeri was convicted of second-degree murder and, under state
law, automatically sentenced to life.
But Romeri and roughly 500 juvenile lifers across Pennsylvania won a shot at
freedom due to a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found it was cruel and
unusual punishment to mandate life terms for youths who kill, as the state led the
nation in doing.
Romeri marks the first of the Lehigh Valley's seven long-serving juvenile killers to
receive a new sentence. His new prison term was reached through an agreement
between prosecutors and defense attorney Kimberly Makoul, and came as his
supporters called Romeri a model for why juveniles deserve second chances.
In his time in prison, Romeri has completed vocational and treatment programs,
mentored and advocated for other inmates, and even gotten a Bachelor of
Science degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Most recently, he has been
held at a prison in Somerset County where he tends to medically ailing inmates
and is training a service dog for the disabled.
But to the family of Bremmer, Romeri's new chance merely reopens wounds
nearly 40 years later, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Jay Jenkins. And while
her family would like Romeri to never be released, the new sentencing had their
support, considering it avoids further legal battles, he said.
In court, 65-year-old David Bremmer remembered his great aunt as a gentle
woman who lived alone, attended Mass daily and always had a glass of milk and
cookies for him.
"What we find so cruel and unusual in this matter was the way Mr. Romeri
murdered my great aunt," David Bremmer said.
"I ask you, what kind of person would leave someone to die?" he asked. "I tell
you, not a human being, but an animal."
Even with his new sentence, Romeri's release will not happen overnight, and it
will only come if the state parole board authorizes it.
The parole board typically needs two to three months to gather information about
potential parolees before they are interviewed to see if they are ready for release,
said Leo Dunn, the board's chairman. Even after the interview, it can be another
two months before a final decision is reached, he said.
"It takes a little bit of time," Dunn said in a telephone interview this week.
Those offenders who still have family or friends in the community may be paroled
to a home that has agreed to support them, Dunn said. Others may be sent to
halfway houses, he said.
In court, Romeri's second cousin, Barbara Schneider, said she is willing to allow
Romeri to live with her in the Hazleton area until he is able to financially support
himself. Schneider was part of a group of Romeri supporters who filled two rows
in the courtroom audience.
Another was 92-year-old George Yoder, a retired pastor who confirmed Romeri
nearly four decades ago. Yoder said Romeri is a different person from the boy
who killed, is remorseful and has bettered himself despite his circumstances.
"Joe is like a second son to me," Yoder said. "I love him and I respect him and I
admire him for all the stuff he has done in prison."
Romeri turned in court and apologized to David Bremmer directly. He said not a
day goes by in which he does not think of his victim, and he fought tears as he
described his crime.
"I can't imagine the pain and hurt that you endured, not only in 1978," he said.
Bremmer was beaten to death with a metal rod on Nov. 9, 1978, after surprising
Romeri — who was drunk, stoned and on LSD — during a burglary in which he
and his co-defendant, 17-year-old Michael Reinhard, got away with $10 to $20,
police said.
In a confession presented at trial, Romeri wrote that he beat Bremmer while
Reinhard held her down. The boys left because she was making "funny noises,"
went and got something to eat, then returned to the house, his statement said.
"We figured she was dead, but she wasn't," the statement continued. "I got in my
mind to call an ambulance then leave but I was so blitzed I couldn't. After we got
some purses we left."
Reinhard pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and was sentenced to nine to 20
years. He was released in 1988, having spent 91/2 years behind bars. He
completed his sentence in 1998 without violating parole, never returning to
prison.

Juvenile lifer resentenced in 1997 slaying of Highland Park minister
BY JASON CATO
An Allegheny County judge who once tried to grant a new trial to a juvenile lifer
convicted of second-degree murder for killing a popular Highland Park minister
on Wednesday said she now believes in his guilt.
Still, Common Pleas Judge Donna Jo McDaniel offered Kristopher Heggins a
chance to one day leave prison — an option that wasn't available when she
sentenced him 16 years ago to life without parole for the murder of the Rev.
Salvatore “Sam” Brunsvold, a campus minister at Carnegie Mellon University and
the University of Pittsburgh.
Heggins is now 36 — the same age as Brunsvold was when he was shot in
January 1997 outside his home.
“When I sentenced you the first time, it was a real easy decision. It was
mandatory,” said McDaniel, the original trial judge who in 2010 ordered a new
trial for Heggins — a decision the state Superior Court overturned in 2012.
Courts also denied appeals in 2014 and 2016.
The U.S. Supreme Court in 2012 determined it is unconstitutional to sentence
juvenile murderers to mandatory life sentences without parole without
considering the possibility of rehabilitation. In January, the nation's highest court
ruled that its decision could be challenged retroactively, meaning all juvenile lifers
could challenge their sentences.
Heggins did.
But with a jury's conviction of second-degree murder, robbery and conspiracy
standing, McDaniel told Heggins that she believed he killed Brunsvold or, as she
called him, a “man of God.”
McDaniel resentenced Heggins to 30 years to life in prison. He gets credit for the
16 years already served. The District Attorney's Office asked the judge to
consider a sentence of 43 to 52 years — the range that is used for people who
commit the same crime today.
“He still represents a substantial risk to the community if he is released,” said
Chief Trial Deputy Dan Fitzsimmons, the prosecutor who handled Heggin's trial.
Heggins has made efforts to become a better person in prison, said his attorney,
Lisa Leake. He has completed a number of prison classes, including one for
victim-awareness education. He also has become a personal trainer in prison,
offering classes six days a week.
“He dreams of opening his own fitness center,” Leake said.
Helen Heggins told the judge that she believes her son is innocent.
“For 16 years, my son has been incarcerated for a crime he did not commit,” she
said.
McDaniel reminded her that her son was convicted by a jury.
Prison has been difficult, Heggins told the judge.
“I feel I've tried to make the best of my situation,” a barely audible Heggins said in
the courtroom.
He apologized to police for misleading them initially and Brunsvold's family. His
widow, Sherri, sat in the front row but did not speak. She also declined to
comment afterward.
“I am a changed person,” Heggins said.
Brunsvold was shot near the right temple from close range as he was getting out
of his car outside his Wellesley Avenue home after returning from Bible studies at
CMU and Pitt, prosecutors said. His wife heard a loud noise and looked outside
to see a man on the ground, bleeding from his head. She realized it was her
husband when she saw his Volkswagen Golf parked nearby, court documents
state.
Brunsvold later died at UPMC Presbyterian in Oakland.
Two weeks after the killing, Heggins, then 16, contacted investigators and told
them that he witnessed the shooting from the porch of his parents' nearby home
on North St. Clair Street. Heggins was not under investigation at the time but was
being held at Shuman Juvenile Detention Center on other charges, prosecutors
said.
Heggins identified a man he said was the shooter by name and in a photo lineup, police said.
Four months later, in August 1997 at a different detention center in Montour
County, Heggins told a counselor that he lied to police and that the shooter was a
different person, court documents state. Several counselors from the Danville
center told police and later testified at trial that Heggins told them that the
shooting occurred when he was showing another man how to commit a robbery.
The unidentified person panicked and shot the victim in the face, the counselors
said Heggins told them.
In subsequent interviews with investigators in 1997 and 1999, Heggins said he
stood on his parents' porch and watched another man shoot Brunsvold, court
records state.
Police arrested Heggins in April 2000 and charged him with homicide.
Heggins at trial maintained his innocence and denied testimony from his
counselors. He testified that he lied and claimed to be a witness in order to get
out of juvenile charges and be released from detention.
Before resentencing Heggins, McDaniel said she reviewed much of his case.
“I have to believe there is some hope in this world, that juveniles who commit
really bad crimes can be rehabilitated,” McDaniel said. “I hope you are one of
them.”

PA Superior Court denies appeal from Bristol Township man who killed father
By James O'Malley
A Bristol Township man convicted of beating his father to death with a dumbbell
lost an appeal to shorten his sentence for third-degree murder.
Jazs Bronner, 46, challenged his 20- to 40-year prison term, arguing Bucks
County Judge Jeffrey L. Finley abused his discretion in sentencing Bronner to the
statutory maximum.
The state Superior Court struck down Bronner's appeal Tuesday in a six-page
opinion.
A footnote to the opinion said Bronner's argument was difficult to discern, but the
court interpreted it to suggest Finley should have considered as a mitigating
factor the jury's decision to acquit him of first-degree murder.
The court denied Bronner's claim saying the issue should have been raised
earlier in his appeal.
Bronner was convicted last year for killing his 73-year-old father, Orlando, inside
their Winder Drive home in March 2014.
According to Jazs Bronner's initial report to police, his father threw an
unprovoked punch at him and hit his head on a 10-pound weight when he fell
during an ensuing altercation.
But injuries to the father's face and blood spatter at the scene were consistent
with him having been struck several times with the weight, according to police.
Prosecutors said the father and son were arguing because the father wanted the
son to move out.
Bronner, who received medical training in the military, drove to his mother's
house in Trenton instead of helping his father, according to reports.

Sentence Vacated, New Trial Ordered in Daycare Assault Case
by Geoff Rushton
A panel of Pennsylvania Superior Court judges vacated sentencing and ordered
a new trial for a former Centre County daycare provider who had been convicted
of assault of a five-month old child.
Jalene McClure, who ran a daycare from her home, was convicted by a Centre
County jury in 2014 and sentenced by now-retired Judge Bradley Lunsford to 1020 years in prison on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, endangering
the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering another person. The charges
stemmed from an August 2010 incident in which a child who had been in her
care suffered head injuries, including a fractured skull and retinal hemorrhaging.
McClure told the child's mother that the child was sick and had vomited. While
driving home, the mother noticed the child was losing consciousness and took
the child to the emergency room where a doctor determined the child had lifethreatening injuries. The child ultimately recovered from the injuries.
McClure initially told police and a Children & Youth Services representative that
nothing had happened while the child was in her care. In a second interview, she
gave a verbal and written statement that she tripped while carrying the child and
fell, hitting the child's head on a car seat. She said the child calmed down and
that it was several hours later when the child vomited, so she did not realize the
child had been injured. At trial, an expert witness for the prosecution said the
child's injuries were consistent with being shaken and gave the opinion that the
injuries were sustained while in McClure's care.
The case marked the start of conflicts embroiling judges, county officials, defense
attorneys and the District Attorney's office that has since spiraled into a series of
accusations, investigations and lawsuits revolving around a variety of issues.
Bernard Cantorna, McClure's trial attorney, argued that Lunsford should have
recused himself from the trial, after a Right to Know request revealed hundreds
of text messages between Lunsford and members of District Attorney Stacy
Parks Miller's office in the months leading up to and during McClure's four-day
trial. Cantorna also argued on appeal that a former court reporter's affidavit
stating Lunsford and Parks Miller had texted during a 2012 trial demonstrated an
inappropriate relationship. Former County Solicitor Louis Glantz also said that in
December 2014, Lunsford removed documents from the public files of several
cases, including McClure's. Lunsford had said he removed the documents
because they had been stricken from the record, but later returned them.
The alleged bias and favorable treatment by the judge for the prosecution was
one of the arguments made in McClure's appeal to the Superior Court, but
ultimately the panel of judges Jack Panella, Victor Stabile and James Fitzgerald
did not rule on that issue. "In light of the fact we have vacated Appellant’s
judgment of sentence and are remanding for a new trial, together with the fact
the trial judge has since retired from the bench, we find Appellant’s final two
issues ... are moot," the opinion, written by Stabile, stated.
The court did, however, agree on several issues that merited the vacating of
McClure's sentence and remanding the case for a new trial.
The judges concurred with McClure that admission of evidence and testimony
related to McClure’s divorce in August of 2012, two years after the incident
occurred, was "irrelevant, unfairly prejudicial and violated the spousal privilege
rule."
On direct examination of McClure's ex-husband, prosecutors referenced
arguments between the two and her mental state at unspecified times, which
Stabile's opinion says "either implicate the spousal privilege or were irrelevant to
the events of August 18, 2010 and, consequently, were unfairly prejudicial to
Appellant."
The judges also ruled that the trial court erred in allowing the prosecution to enter
a redacted version of McClure's statement and refusing admission of the
redacted portion. The redacted part of McClure's statement included her
explanation that because the child's vomiting did not happen until several hours
after the fall it did not occur to her that the child had been injured. If it had, "I
would have acted immediately," McClure said in the statement. The redacted
version, McClure argued, sounded more like a confession than an explanation of
what occurred.
"We agree with Appellant that she should have been able to correct any
misleading impression by presenting her entire statement to the jury," Stabile
wrote. "The trial court’s refusal to do so constitutes error of law that we cannot
consider harmless."
The Superior Court panel also agreed that allowing Detective Dale Moore, who
had conducted the interviews with McClure, to testify that neither he nor the CYS
employee believed McClure was "not only irrelevant but also prejudicial."
The Centre County District Attorney's Office can appeal the decision or retry the
case.

Pa. needs to compensate the wrongfully convicted
Recently, “60 Minutes” on CBS broadcast a revealing segment about men and
women who have been wrongfully convicted of serious crimes and sent to death
row or to maximum-security prisons. Thanks to the hard work of individuals and
organizations such as The Innocence Project, some of the wrongfully convicted
after years and even decades of being imprisoned have been freed and
exonerated. New exculpatory evidence had proved the convicted people were
never guilty of the crimes for which they were sentenced. The damage done to
these innocent people and their loved ones is incalculable.
Thirty states in our country have statutes requiring compensation for the
wrongfully convicted. Pennsylvania offers zero compensation. It is said that the
released exonerated prisoners already have the right to sue for damages. Asking
people who have been incarcerated for years and have no way to pay for lawyers
to sue for what is morally and ethically theirs is a sick and a cruel joke.
There is proposed legislation in Harrisburg that would overcome this great
injustice and yet nothing has been passed. Justice must be brought to these men
and women who have had their lives ruined. Think about it: If they lived in one of
those 30 states, justice would have prevailed and compensation for their
suffering would have been paid. Why not in Pennsylvania?

Westmoreland inmate accused of sending threatening letter
A Derry man allegedly sent a threatening letter to a cab driver from whom he is
accused of stealing a pistol nine months prior, according to court papers.
James Edmund Brown, 40, is being held in the Westmoreland County Prison on
$20,000 bail on two counts of intimidation of a victim.
Investigators allege Brown sent a letter to the victim's home address in
December while he was an inmate at the prison on the original theft charges from
March. His bail is set at $20,000 in that case.
Details of the letter were not disclosed in court papers and the county detective
who investigated the case could not be reached Wednesday.
The victim in both cases told police that he was upset and concerned for his
safety if he would testify against Brown, because Brown knows his address.
Brown, a convicted felon who denied the theft to police, allegedly took the gun
from the victim's cab and gave it to someone else, according to court papers. The
gun was recovered.
A preliminary hearing on the intimidation charges is set for Aug. 24. No court
action is scheduled in the theft case.

The tyranny of the traffic ticket
By German Lopez
When Philando Castile was pulled over in July, it was at least his 46th traffic stop
— almost all related to fairly minor traffic violations. And it would be his last.
By the end of the stop — reportedly in part over a broken taillight — a police
officer, apparently scared that Castile was grabbing for a gun, shot and killed the
32-year-old. Castile’s girlfriend then live-streamed the immediate aftermath on
Facebook, calmly retelling the story of how a minor traffic stop for a low-level
offense turned into a death sentence.
Castile’s story isn’t unique. Eric Garner, Samuel DuBose, Sandra Bland — these
are just a few of the victims of police and the criminal justice system over the
past several years, but they all fall into the same basic framework: A routine stop
or arrest for a low-level offense went horribly wrong, leaving someone dead after
they were accused of a misdemeanor or crime that typically doesn’t even involve
prison time.
The tragic outcomes show just another way low-level offenses can trap someone
for life — and even to death — in the criminal justice system. For starters, every
one of these encounters carries a risk that something will go terribly wrong — as
it did for Garner, DuBose, Bland, and Castile.
But the system can also make these encounters happen frequently, and with
increasing weight in a person’s life. It begins with one ticket or a traffic stop. But if
someone can’t afford to pay that fine, police might try to stop or arrest him or her
again to get the person to pay up.
This can lead to someone getting fined again for not paying up the first time. And
again.
And again. One ticket leads to a vicious cycle that can sink someone for life.
With each of these encounters, someone’s record piles up — giving officers more
reason, in their view, to stop him or her, because they recognize the person, or
perhaps see the person’s record when running a license plate, for example. And
with each of these stops, people are exposed to more instances in which a police
encounter could go tragically wrong.
And it happens disproportionately to poor people of color. As those who are
already heavily policed, they are the ones who are more likely to catch a cop’s
eye if they run a stop sign, fail to signal on a turn, have a broken taillight, or sell
untaxed cigarettes.
So this isn’t just the story of a few police killings that Americans have seen on
video over the past few years. It’s the story of a criminal justice system that’s far
too harsh and racially biased even when it comes to the most minor offenses.
For many poor people of color, it’s often not just one ticket or police stop that
leads to a lifetime of trouble or a fatal encounter.
Philando Castile’s story demonstrates this. As Eyder Peralta and Cheryl Corley
reported for NPR, before Castile was stopped and then killed by a St. Anthony
police officer in Minnesota, he had incurred dozens of traffic stops, fines, and
suspensions — adding up to more than $6,000 in fines through 46 police stops.
A pattern emerges in his story: Castile is stopped. He can’t afford to pay the fine.
His license is suspended. He’s then stopped and fined for driving without a
license. He again can’t pay that fine. And so on. All along the way, Castile is
buried further into debt and punished with more penalties — just because he
couldn’t afford that first ticket.
"It’s a never-ending loop," said Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve, an assistant
professor of criminal justice at Temple University and author of Crook County.
"People are trying to get out of this cycle of paying back [fines] but being pulled
back into the criminal justice system — even when they’re not wanted for things
that we would think of as dangerous offenses or things that wouldn’t really harm
society."
"It allows officers to pry into people’s lives," Gonzales Van Cleve added. "Once
you’re marked with these misdemeanors and traffic violations, and the more they
stop you and the more they mark your records, they have more ammunition to
continue doing so."
So it may begin with one encounter over a low-level charge. But it can quickly
escalate into repeated encounters with police over many more years.
A similar story came up in the US Department of Justice’s investigation into the
Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department after the police shooting of Michael
Brown. Here is one such story from the Justice Department’s 2015 report:
We spoke, for example, with an African-American woman who has a still-pening
case stemming from 2007, when, on a single occasion, she parked her car
illegally. She received two citations and a $151 fine, plus fees. The woman, who
experienced financial difficulties and periods of homelessness over several
years, was charged with seven Failure to Appear offenses for missing court
dates or fine payments on her parking tickets between 2007 and 2010. For each
Failure to Appear, the court issued an arrest warrant and imposed new fines and
fees. From 2007 to 2014, the woman was arrested twice, spent six days in jail,
and paid $550 to the court for the events stemming from this single instance of
illegal parking. Court records show that she twice attempted to make partial
payments of $25 and $50, but the court returned those payments, refusing to
accept anything less than payment in full. One of those payments was later
accepted, but only after the court’s letter rejecting payment by money order was
returned as undeliverable. This woman is now making regular payments on the
fine. As of December 2014, over seven years later, despite initially owing a $151
fine and having already paid $550, she still owed $541.
There are several problems with these kinds of stops. First, they obviously
impose a tremendous financial burden — as they did for Castile. They can lead
to jail time if someone can’t afford to pay a fine, fee, or bail. They can also help
erode trust in the criminal justice system — after a person is stopped so many
times, one can only wonder if he or she is just a particularly bad driver, or if the
system is picking on someone due to his or her race, age, gender, or all of the
above.
Each encounter also carries the risk of escalation: If any one police stop has
even a small chance of a cop shooting and killing someone, getting stopped
more often exposes someone to more chances of that worst of encounters.
But it’s not just Castile and Ferguson. Criminologists say this problem is
widespread in the criminal justice system. And it tends to affect certain segments
of the population — particularly the poor and people of color — more than others.
As with many aspects of the US criminal justice system, low-level crime
enforcement disproportionately falls on poor people of color.
"We overpolice poor neighborhoods of color and low-income individuals of color,
so they are more likely to be swept up in the misdemeanor net," said Alexandra
Natapoff, a criminal justice researcher and law professor at Loyola Law School.
"The burden of a misdemeanor conviction is also greater for low-income
individuals and people of color. Misdemeanors typically come with the threat of
heavy fines and fees and the threat of incarceration if you can’t pay — and many
individuals charged with misdemeanors end up in a cycle of debt."
The data shows the disparity. Federal statistics show black and Hispanic people
are more likely to be stopped and searched while driving than their white
counterparts. Black people are nearly four times as likely to be arrested for
marijuana possession as their white peers. And in both Chicago and New York
City, police disproportionately stopped and frisked black people.
This isn’t solely because minority and poor communities have more crime.
For example, in the stop and frisk data for New York City, the great majority of
people stopped had no weapons or contraband on them. And 1 percent of black
people who were stopped had weapons or contraband on them, while 1.4
percent of white people stopped did — suggesting that black people weren’t
more likely to be doing anything wrong despite getting stopped more often.
There’s also no reason to believe that people of a certain race are worse, less
lawful drivers. And white and black Americans use and sell drugs at very similar
rates, but black Americans are much more likely to be arrested for drug
possession.
"Sometimes we’ll hear the assertion that if you’re not doing anything wrong, the
police won’t stop you. That is clearly untrue," Natapoff said. "Police stop
individuals, particularly individuals in communities of color, for all sorts of reasons
that have nothing to do with whether that individual is committing a crime."
So what’s going on here? One potential cause is subconscious racial biases.
Many studies show that people are more likely to associate black people with
criminality. Given this, police may be more likely to stop black drivers and
pedestrians because they’re more likely to suspect those individuals of crimes.
Another possible explanation: the incentives and expectations set for police as
part of their jobs. Particularly, officers are frequently evaluated for their
productivity based on how many stops and arrests they make. Knowing this,
they’re more likely to seek easy arrests and infractions in low-income, black
neighborhoods with little political power compared with a wealthy, white
community that’s very likely to complain to the mayor’s office and be taken
seriously by public officials.
Some police officers have admitted to this. "When you put any type of numbers
on a police officer to perform, we are going to go to the most vulnerable," Adhyl
Polanco, a New York City police officer who’s suing the city over its alleged quota
system, told WNBC. "We’re going to [the] LGBT community, we’re going to the
black community, we’re going to go to those people that have no boat, that have
no power."
It’s not just New York City, either. This is another issue that the Justice
Department found in its report on Ferguson, where cops were pressured by the
city government — as they are in other jurisdictions — to raise as much revenue
as possible by ticketing residents.
Since police were most active in neighborhoods that are predominantly black,
these residents were targeted at hugely disproportionate rates: Ferguson is
about 67 percent African-American, but from 2012 to 2014, 85 percent of people
who were stopped, 90 percent of people who received a citation, and 93 percent
of people who were arrested were black.
These arrests could be entirely frivolous. Here’s one such example, from the
Justice Department report:
Officers frequently arrest individuals under Section 29-16(1) on facts that do not
meet the provision’s elements. Section 29-16(1) makes it unlawful to "[f]ail to
comply with the lawful order or request of a police officer in the discharge of the
officer’s official duties where such failure interfered with, obstructed or hindered
the officer in the performance of such duties." Many cases initiated under this
provision begin with an officer ordering an individual to stop despite lacking
objective indicia that the individual is engaged in wrongdoing. The order to stop is
not a "lawful order" under those circumstances because the officer lacks
reasonable suspicion that criminal activity is afoot. … Nonetheless, when
individuals do not stop in those situations, FPD officers treat that conduct as a
failure to comply with a lawful order, and make arrests.
This was similar to the issues found in the Baltimore Police Department, as well.
There, the Justice Department found officers were encouraged to arrest as many
people as possible — and they targeted black residents. One black man in his
mid-50s was stopped 30 times in less than four years, despite never being
charged for anything.
One reason for such frivolous stops and citations may be what’s known as a
"pretextual stop," when cops stop someone for a minor violation — such as a
broken taillight — as a pretext to investigate the suspect’s possible involvement
in a more serious crime.
This appears to be what happened to Philando Castile: He was apparently
stopped over a broken taillight, but the officer reportedly thought Castile was a
robbery suspect due to his "wide-set nose" (which carries obvious racist
connotations). But Castile didn’t appear to take part in a robbery, showing that
these stops often net people who actually weren’t involved in a more serious
crime yet still end up punishing them with a stop, fine, jail time, or, worst of all, a
violent, even deadly confrontation.
Another issue is what criminologists call "net widening": Increasingly, local, state,
and federal governments have criminalized more and more behaviors that are
part of everyday life, adding harsh fines and possible jail time to misdemeanors
and crimes that weren’t punished so harshly or even at all before. This has put
police officers and the criminal justice system in charge of taking seriously all
sorts of offenses they might have let slide in the past.
A classic example is red light cameras. Previously, a police officer might have let
a driver go without a ticket — if, say, someone technically ran a red light while
darting through a yellow light, ran through an empty intersection, or was carrying
a pregnant woman in labor. With red light cameras, all infractions are ticketed, no
matter the circumstance.
"We’re casting a net even wider and criminalizing more people," Gonzales Van
Cleve said. "It doesn’t mean they’re often put into jail, but they certainly are
punished by the fact that they have to go to court, they have to pay these fines."
She added, "For a low-income person working an unskilled job, this is no small
consequence — getting out of work, going to court, paying the fines, possibly not
paying the fines because you’re too poor, [or] paying the fines but not being able
to pay your
child support and being wanted for another warrant is no small effect."
On top of victimizing poor, minority communities, net widening can also pull away
resources from much more serious crimes. As Gonzales Van Cleve told me, "In a
time where cities like Chicago are worried about violent crime, police resources
are being used on these small violations."
The excessive enforcement of low-level offenses can help explain why black
people are disproportionately likely to be shot and killed by the police.
A 2014 analysis of the available FBI data by Vox's Dara Lind found that US
police kill black people at disproportionate rates: Black people accounted for 31
percent of police killing victims in 2012, even though they made up just 13
percent of the US population. Although the data is incomplete because it's based
on voluntary reports from police agencies around the country, it highlights the
vast disparities in how police use force.
So how are low-level offenses related to a disproportionate percentage of officerinvolved killings?
"Part of the problem is that an encounter with the criminal justice system is risky
and expensive," Natapoff said. "This is true for everyone, but it’s particularly true
for young men of color. So because we constantly police young men of color like
Philando Castile, they are constantly exposed to the risk that a police encounter
will escalate. So not only are we burdening individuals with arrest records and
individual records, not only are we holding them to the burden of fines and fees
that impoverish them or impede their economic prospects, we are also exposing
them, sadly, to the greatest risk of all — a violent encounter with a police officer."
There’s a law of averages at play: If there’s a small chance that police will shoot
someone during any given stop, those who are stopped more often by police are
exposed to this chance — however small it may be — much more frequently. It
took Philando Castile more than 40 police stops before an officer shot and killed
him, but many people — particularly those who are white and wealthy — wouldn’t
get to even a fifth or 10th police stop.
Of course, police may be more likely to shoot a black person in the first place, as
a result of subconscious racial biases: Studies show that officers are quicker to
shoot black suspects in video game simulations. That suggests cops are more
ready to pull the trigger if they’re dealing with a black person.
Repeated encounters may also heighten the chance of a dangerous encounter in
another way: by decreasing someone’s willingness to cooperate with police. A
2014 study by Tom Tyler of Yale, Jeffrey Fagan of Columbia, and Amanda Geller
of Columbia found that a person’s sense of police legitimacy diminishes with
every police stop he sees or experiences.
As this happens, people may become more likely to refuse to cooperate with
police and
perhaps even resist arrest — after all, why should they show respect toward a
system that’s, in their view, illegitimate and racist? In response to that resistance,
a police officer is more likely to overreact.
The story of Eric Garner comes to mind. In 2014, New York City police stopped
Garner for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes, killing him moments later by
putting him in a chokehold while trying to arrest him.
Many people remember Garner’s "I can’t breathe" warning from the video of his
arrest and death.
But Garner said something else during his arrest that was very telling: When
talking to police before they moved in to arrest him, Garner said, "Every time you
see me, you want to mess with me. I’m tired of it. This stops today. It’s done." He
did not cooperate.
After years of dealing with police over low-level offenses, Garner was tired of it —
and it may have cost him his life.
While criminologists and many public officials are aware of these problems, the
big question is how to fix them. After all, these are issues now ingrained at each
level of the justice system — police, public defenders, courts, jails, and prisons.
So fixing them won’t be very easy.
"There are a whole range of solutions," Natapoff said. "Each one, however, deals
with just one step of the process. … No one of them is a magic bullet."
Here are just some of the ideas that experts have suggested to me as I’ve
reported on policing issues over the years:
Address racial bias. Just about everyone has subconscious racial biases. There’s
no foolproof way to overcome these biases, but police can be trained to become
more aware of their biases and at least try to overcome them. "Jurisdictions need
to get extremely serious about acknowledging racial bias in traffic stops,"
Gonzales Van Cleve said. "It’s incumbent on police departments to study this in a
serious way, and then train the officers in the findings."
Stop evaluating officers based on how many people they stop and arrest. If cops
don’t feel pressure to stop and arrest a lot of people on any given day, they might
be less likely to turn to low-level crime enforcement in disadvantaged
neighborhoods.
Look to decriminalization. Governments could repeal laws that criminalize or
impose harsh fines on low-level offenses, and find other ways to encourage
people
to, for example, fix a broken taillight.
Stop or limit pretextual stops. These types of stops are ingrained in American
policing, but they can lead to police stopping otherwise innocent people on a
faulty, dishonest basis. Eliminating or limiting the use of pretextual stops
altogether, as Jonathan Blanks explains, could go a long way to repairing policecommunity relations and reducing over-aggressive policing.
Change how fines and fees are administered. "One of the potential reforms that
is gaining some traction is the use of day fines, which is the mechanism Europe
uses," Natapoff said. "The fines that anyone incurs for any particular conduct
depends on their income — so you’re fined a day of your salary or six days of
your salary or a month of your salary or half a day. But it depends on your
income, rather than a flat fine that applies to everyone."
Police could use their discretion more, and better understand the consequences
of their actions. Cops have the power to simply let people off with a warning.
Perhaps if officers were trained in the vicious cycle that just one ticket can
impose on someone who’s poor, they’d be more willing to use that discretion
more often. And police departments could encourage this laxer behavior through
their policies and guidelines.
Together, these changes could make a difference. But at the end of the day,
Natapoff argued, the country as a whole needs to think about how we legally and
culturally define what falls into the purview of the criminal justice system and
what doesn’t.
"When you think of criminal justice, you think of the government going after bad
guys — people who inflict harm on others and rightfully should be punished," she
said. "But [with] the misdemeanor system, these low-level offenses and
infractions and citation, it’s hard to see what the harms are. There’s often no
harm. And if there is any harm, it’s often very low-level — the harm of a broken
taillight. And yet we’re coming down hard on all these individuals in the way the
criminal system encourages and permits."
She added, "Maybe that’s the wrong model. Maybe we shouldn’t think of these
things as crimes at all."

Union leader decries understaffing at Iowa penitentiary
By Rod Boshart
DES MOINES -- The head of the state’s largest public employees’ union warned
Tuesday that correctional officers and staff at the Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort
Madison are at risk due to understaffing that needs to be addressed.
Danny Homan, president of the American Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Iowa Council 61, issued a statement calling
Iowa’s only maximum-security prison a “dangerous place” for workers, saying
staffing is “so critically low” that there aren’t enough employees to respond to
medical or behavioral emergencies.
“The working conditions at ISP are an outrage,” Homan said in a statement. “The
men and women protecting our inmates are, in their own words, walking into ISP
not knowing if they will walk out at the end of the day. They are truly, and
reasonably, afraid for their safety.”
Homan said there recently was a series of fights involving about 16 inmates and
the discovery of makeshift weapons led to a lockdown without the staff necessary
to ensure both inmate and officer safety. Also, he said, on multiple occasions in
the past two weeks, at least 15 officers from state correctional facilities at
Oakdale and Mount Pleasant were dispatched to the Fort Madison penitentiary
“to assist with shakedowns -- a clear indication that ISP is desperately in need of
more support.”
The AFSCME leader called on Gov. Terry Branstad, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds,
state lawmakers and the Iowa Department of Corrections to examine staffing
trends at the penitentiary and “allocate the staff funding to run a safe and secure
facility.”
“We have to do better for our public servants,” Homan said in his statement. “We
can’t sit by and let them walk into preventable danger day after day.”
Fred Scaletta, spokesman for the state Department of Corrections, declined to
comment on Homan’s statement.
On July 31, officials at the Fort Madison prison said the penitentiary had been
placed on “restricted movement” with inmates confined to their cells following
several altercations. The incidents involved multiple offenders with no serious
injuries to inmates and no staff injuries, according to the department’s July 31
news release.
Rep. Gary Worthan, R-Storm Lake, co-leader of the Legislature’s joint justice
systems appropriations subcommittee, said he has not heard of any concerns
specific to the Fort Madison facility but added he is aware there is stress
systemwide given the tight funding allocations within the state’s fiscal 2017
budget.
“We’ve got situations where the manpower’s just not there,” said Worthan, noting
it is difficult to schedule vacations when state agency budgets are tight.
That’s been true for state troopers who have seen extra duties related to the
National Governors’ Association’s summer meeting in Des Moines, the statewide
RAGBRAI bike ride and now the Iowa State Fair, which opens an 11-day run on
Thursday.
“The entire justice systems budget, it put some stress on it, there’s no way
around it. Nobody got enough money for salary annualization,” Worthan said, “let
alone any increase in manpower.” At the same time, he said, he has not heard
from corrections officials regarding any need for supplemental funding.
Worthan said he had not seen Homan’s statement but he noted union officials
occasionally raise staffing concerns to get the top “on the public’s radar” before
the next legislative session convenes in January.

Prisons chief orders review of inmate sentences
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The state Department of Corrections is conducting a
review to determine whether offenders are serving the correct amount of prison
time.
The Seattle Times reports the department's acting secretary, Richard Morgan,
called on staff in a memo updated this week to make sure sentencing information
was accurate before prisoners are released.
Officials say Morgan's directive doesn't stem from any particular incident.
A DOC spokesman says staff will look over court documents to be clear on
whether sentences are consecutive or concurrent.
The review comes after the DOC and Gov. Jay Inslee announced in December
some offenders had been mistakenly released early between 2002 and 2015.
Officials had also found an error on a sentencing form that improperly shortened
the community supervision and treatment times for dozens of sex offenders.

Inmate sues prison over dentures policy
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — An inmate is suing the Washington State Penitentiary
over claims that prison officials refused to provide him with dentures after he
underwent an operation to have most of his teeth removed.
The Spokesman-Review reports (http://bit.ly/2bit97y ) Jimmy de la Mater's
lawsuit says he suffered intestinal pain after being forced to eat soft food. He's
seeking $15,000 in damages.
De la Mater says he experienced tooth problems months after arriving at the
prison in 2013 and that dental staff removed most of his teeth. He alleges
officials then refused to provide him dentures because he would be in prison for
less than five years.
Attorney Jeffry Finer says the state has since changed its policy, allowing
inmates with sentences of at least six months to get dentures.
A prison spokeswoman says the prison has no control over Department of

Convicted of murder as a teen, North Carolina man now has shot at freedom
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WILMINGTON, N.C. — Johnny Small was just 15 when police came to arrest
him in 1988 — so young he assumed he was in trouble for a curfew violation.
Instead, police charged him with first-degree murder of a woman who owned a
tropical-fish store — a place Small says he had never even visited.
He was convicted and sentenced to life behind bars, mainly on the testimony of a
co-defendant — a friend who once lived with Small's family. That man, David
Bollinger, has since recanted.
Bollinger says he testified only because prosecutors promised his charges would
be dropped in exchange and threatened the death penalty if he didn't cooperate.
LEAVING, GETTING A JOB
At 43, Small has a chance at freedom. A hearing is scheduled Monday for Small,
who has always maintained his innocence. The judge could vacate the
conviction, order a new trial or uphold the conviction.
Small “has spent his entire adult life and part of his childhood in prison for a
crime he did not commit,” a defense motion says.
Now he's grateful his one-time friend, Bollinger, came forward, even though it
took decades, he said at New Hanover County Correctional Center.
“He's doing what he thinks is right, what he knows is right,” said Small, adding
that he has not communicated with Bollinger since his former friend testified.
“And I'm happy for that. But am I going to jump for joy? No. Because he should
have.”
If Small is released, he'll be in a world that he's seen only on television. Before
prison, he listened to music on cassette tapes. He has never used a cellphone or
Facebook. He has driven a car, but not legally, he said, breaking into one of his
few smiles during the interview.
He has made no plans if released other than seeking therapy, leaving Wilmington
and getting a job.
Defense attorney Chris Mumma is hopeful Small will go free. No physical
evidence tied him to the death of Pam Dreher at her fish shop, and, she said in
court filings, there's “absolutely no remaining evidence of guilt in the case.”
Prosecutors declined to comment, but in response to defense motions say the
latest evidence “does little other than discredit or impeach witness testimony,
making it insufficient to support a claim for a new trial and certainly does not
support outright dismissal of the case.”
RIGHTING WRONGS
A record number of people falsely convicted of crimes — 149 — were
exonerated in 2015, according to the National Registry of Exonerations. The
registry is a project of the University of Michigan Law School and has
documented more than 1,850 such cases in the country.
Bollinger called the N.C. Center on Actual Innocence in 2012, saying his
testimony was false. Small's defense motion lays out other discrepancies,
including problems with the Crimestoppers call that lead police to Small and
Bollinger.
Tropical Paradise owner Dreher was 32 when she died of a single gunshot to the
head. The Associated Press reached her brother, Mark Alan Smith, who declined
to comment. Her husband, David Dreher, could not be reached.
Reports at the time of Dreher's death said police believed robbery was the motive
— $173 was missing from the register — but her purse and jewelry were left
behind.
Margie Hilburn, 95, who lives across the street from David Dreher, remembers
Pam Dreher as “a lovely person ... and it broke David's heart when he found out
that somebody killed her.”
Small has endured his own losses while imprisoned. His mother died in
February, and he attended her funeral with two correctional officers.

Mentions Corrections Secretary Wetzel
Philadelphia Inquirer (08/12/2016)

ars_of_solitary_confinement.html
No decision yet on ending inmate's 37 years of solitary confinement
By Mensah Dean
HARRISBURG - Testifying before a federal judge Thursday, the former head of the
state's prison system and its current chief offered radically different opinions over
freeing from solitary confinement a 64-year-old inmate who has spent nearly 37 years
confined 23 hours a day to a 7-by-12-foot cell.
Pennsylvania Corrections Secretary John Wetzel said Arthur Johnson could not be
placed among the general population because he still has it in him to try to escape, and
still has the capacity to kill during the attempt.
"That's a significant concern. That's a big red flag for me," said Wetzel, who added that
he based his concerns on a 2015 report by prison psychologist Siena Smith, who said
Johnson spoke of escaping during an interview.
But Martin Horn, who was secretary from 1995 to 2000, told Chief Judge Christopher C.
Conner for the Middle District of Pennsylvania that it was time to return Johnson to the
general population.
Johnson has not had any serious disciplinary infractions in 25 years, Horn said, and the
almost unheard-of period of time he has been in solitary cries out for Wetzel to create a
"step-down plan" for the inmate to gradually be allowed to return to the general
population.
"In my opinion, I believe good correctional practice requires a way out for him," said
Horn, who was a surprise rebuttal witness called by Johnson's team of six lawyers.
Johnson's solitary confinement began after a 1979 escape attempt.
Last month, Conner heard six hours of testimony from Johnson and witnesses called by
his attorneys.
Thursday's hearing - devoted to state witnesses - lasted seven hours, and included
testimony from Johnson in which he denied ever telling Smith, the prison psychologist,
that he wanted to escape.
Johnson is serving life without parole for the 1970 gang-related stabbing and shooting
death of Jerome Wakefield during a fight over turf.
Johnson, currently housed at State Correctional Institution–Frackville, has maintained
he is innocent.
During the lengthy hearing, Johnson's lawyers questioned corrections officials about
other inmates who had escaped, only to be allowed to live in the general population
after being recaptured - including a convicted murderer, Michael McCloskey, who
escaped in 1999 with his cellmate and is now with the general population at Frackville.
Attorneys from the state Attorney General's Office, who are representing the
Department of Corrections, called witnesses who asserted that Johnson, despite his
clean record for the last 25 years, is still dangerous.
The state's witnesses noted that in 1984 Johnson again tried to escape from prison, and
that between 1979 and 1985, he racked up more than 90 serious disciplinary
infractions.
"Mr. Johnson does follow the rules, but even though time has passed, there's still that
concern based on the things that have happened in the past," Dr. Robert Marsh,
director of the prison department's Psychology Office, told the court.
"He has done very well following the rules, but it's hard to outrun the past," Marsh
added.
On another front, the state's witnesses rebutted the defense claim that keeping Johnson
in solitary confinement for 37 years has harmed the prisoner and constitutes cruel and
unusual punishment, which is forbidden by the U.S. Constitution.
Johnson has not been mentally or physically harmed, based on the fact that he is
healthy, the witnesses said, and has not been diagnosed with mental illness or
depression.
Pogos Voskanian, a Philadelphia-based forensic psychiatrist hired by the Corrections
Department to evaluate Johnson, said the inmate had not been hurt by the confinement.
He said Johnson told him that he had problems with sleeping, anxiety, depression,
concentrating, and sadness, and that he felt hopeless, but that he was not clinically
depressed.
"Many people in the comfort of their luxurious home are sad. That does not mean that
they are clinically depressed," Voskanian said.
Conner, who at times appeared unconvinced by the state's witnesses, calling Smith's
report "vague and incomplete," asked lawyers for both sides to submit briefs by Sept. 7.
He gave no timetable for when a decision would be issued, but stressed that "it's
important that the court issue a decision with some dispatch."

http://triblive.com/news/allegheny/10950175-74/sandusky-trial-amendola
Jerry Sandusky may take the witness stand Friday in new appeal of criminal conviction
Friday may bring something new in the Jerry Sandusky case : Sandusky, testifying in
open court, about the culture-shaking, sexual molestation charges he was convicted of
in June 2012.
Barring a last-minute change or successful objection from prosecutors, the 72-year-old
one-time Penn State football luminary is expected to take the stand in the first day of his
post-conviction relief act hearing in Centre County Court.
It's an opportunity Sandusky passed on when he waived his preliminary hearing in
December 2011, and again when he opted not to take the stand in his own defense at
his jury trial.
Both of those decisions, are among various issues Sandusky's appelate lawyers are
raising now as part of a larger case that trial attorney Joseph Amendola was ineffective
to the point where Sandusky was effectively denied a fair trial.
Judge John Cleland has given Sandusky's team a chance to make their case in three
days of evidentiary hearings this month.
The proceedings are scheduled to start Friday and defense attorney Alexander Lindsay,
in a court filing earlier this month, has stated that he intends to let Sandusky open with
testimony about:
* A near-impromptu, nationally televised interview with NBC broadcaster Bob Costas in
which many felt Sandusky, while trying to maintain his innocence, came oddly close to
conceding boundary issues with boys.
Sandusky alleges Amendola did not prepare him “in any manner” for the Costas
interview, which occurred in the days following his November 2011 arrest.
Amendola had travelled to New York for a series of television appearances, the defense
is claiming. While there, he urged Sandusky to speak via telephone with Costas only
shortly before their taping.
Sandusky will note that he was never told the contents of that interview could later be
used against him at trial.
* That he was not fully-informed by Amendola about the potential consequences of
waiving his preliminary hearing - a point in any case in which many defense lawyers
take advantage of chances to get a first hearing of accusers' claims.
The decision not to take a preliminary hearing loomed larger as the case progressed,
the defense may argue, given Amendola's assertions that he ran out of time to
completely prepare for the trial.
* That he had provided his lawyers with the name of a person that he believed to be the
boy, identified at trial as “Victim 2,” that then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary had
seen in a Penn State shower with Sandusky.
Sandusky claimed he never molested the boy, and expected that that man - who made
varying statements to investigators but at times appeared to have backed Sandusky's
story up - would take the stand in his defense.
Amendola, who did not return a call from PennLive Thursday but is also listed as a
potential witness Friday, never called the man to the stand.
One of the issues Cleland is permitting testimony on is whether state prosecutors' also
believed that the man Sandusky had identified was in fact “Victim 2” at the time of
Sandusky's trial, when they told the jurors that the identity of Victim 2 was unknown.
* Sandusky's appelate lawyers have also put forth that Sandusky was prepared, and
denied the chance because of Amendola's advice, to present rebuttal testimony to each
of his accusers in the June 2012 trial.
Amendola has said previously that he was worried about opening the door to new,
potentially-damaging testimony from one of Sandusky's adopted sons, Matt Sandusky.
Once a potential defense witness, Matt Sandusky told prosecutors during the trial week
that he had also been abused by Jerry Sandusky. Jerry contends he could have
rebutted Matt's testimony, too.
Sandusky was convicted of nearly all charges in the 2012 trial, and is currently serving a
30-year minimum prison term at a state prison in Greene County.
Earlier appeals tied to alleged legal errors at the trial dismissed.
But Lindsay, in the new petition, asserts that the alleged tactical errors committed by
Amendola and others at the trial are so great that, had they been handled differently,
the jury might have reached a different verdict.
If successful in this appeal, the convictions would be overturned and Sandusky could be
granted a new trial.
A spokesman for Attorney General Kathleen Kane said Thursday that her office will
“vigorously” defend the prosecution in court.
“We have argued throughout this proceeding that the claims laid out in the PCRA
petition are meritless,” spokesman Jeffrey Johnson said. “We continue to have a strong
belief in that position, and we intend to vigorously challenge those claims in court.”
Besides Jerry Sandusky and Amendola, other witnesses that could be called if time
allows Friday are Karl Rominger, the since-disbarred Carlisle attorney who served as
Amendola's co-counsel in the 2012 trial.
The hearing will continue later this month, when Lindsay's team could call members of
the Sandusky prosecution team, former case investigators, several psychological
experts and others to the stand.

Man charged 5 years after Harrison bank robbery
By Matt Spillane
Five years after a Harrison bank was robbed, a second look at a DNA database helped
police find their suspect.
Michael Trumbore has been charged with three felonies for stealing more than $5,500
while robbing the Chase bank at 402 Halstead Ave. on June 30, 2011, Harrison police
announced Thursday.
The Pennsylvania resident pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in Westchester County
Court on Aug. 5, though police said he confessed to committing the robbery.
Trumbore, who was indicted by a grand jury on June 14, faces charges of third-degree
robbery, third-degree grand larceny and third-degree criminal possession of stolen
property. The 48-year-old is due back in court on Aug. 25.

Police said DNA analysis helped them identify Trumbore, who is currently being held at
the State Correctional Institution in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, for charges related to
bank robberies and car larcenies.
Trumbore robbed the Harrison bank by walking in and handing the teller a note
demanding cash, police said.
"I have a gun and I will use it," he wrote on the note, police said.
The teller handed $5,510 to Trumbore, who then ran away, police said. Police said they
spent months interviewing witnesses and following leads, and sent surveillance images
to the media and law enforcement agencies, but they could not identify him.
At the crime scene detectives found items believed to have been left by the robber, and
the property was turned over to the Westchester County Forensics Lab for DNA
analysis, police said. The DNA did not match any records in the DNA database at the
time, though.
Police Chief Anthony Marraccini later directed investigators to take another look at the
evidence in the hope that advances in forensic DNA technology and additional entries in
the database might identify a suspect.
The second look was successful, as the DNA from the crime scene resubmitted in
March matched Trumbore's new profile in the National DNA Index System.
Harrison detectives interviewed Trumbore in June at the Pennsylvania state prison,
where they said he confessed to the robbery.

Man gets state prison time, Megan’s Law sanctions for child porn
By Peter Bortner
Jason K. Dietrich is headed to state prison after being sentenced Wednesday in
Schuylkill County Court for secretly filming a girl in various states of undress in April
2015 in Butler Township.
“A period of incarceration is appropriate,” Judge John E. Domalakes said before
sentencing Dietrich, 40, of Drums, to spend nine to 30 months in a state correctional
institution, plus 12 additional years on probation. Domalakes made the sentence
effective at 9 a.m. Friday.
While Domalakes ruled Dietrich is not a sexually violent predator, in accordance with
the recommendation by the state Sexual Offenders Assessment Board, he imposed 25
years of sanctions under Megan’s Law after he leaves prison.
“I am so ashamed and remorseful,” Dietrich said in reading a prepared statement to
Domalakes. “I take full responsibility for my detestable actions.”
Dietrich, formerly of Lavelle, pleaded guilty on April 20 to 56 counts each of
photographing, filming or depicting a sex act on a computer and sexual abuse of
children-child pornography, eight of invasion of privacy and four of criminal use of a
communication facility. Prosecutors withdrew 56 additional counts of photographing,
filming or depicting a sex act on a computer and four of harassment.
Butler Township police charged Dietrich with taking photographs of a 17-year-old girl
without her knowledge, while she was in various states of undress before and after
taking showers, between April 7, 2015, and April 13, 2015, at a home in the township.
“He did it multiple days and multiple locations,” Assistant District Attorney Debra A.
Smith said in arguing for the imposition of lifetime Megan’s Law sanctions against
Dietrich.
Megan Velo-Zorzi, a Wilkes-Barre psychologist who is treating Dietrich, said he has
shown great improvement.
“He’s done everything I’ve asked him to do,” including attending numerous counseling
sessions and meetings, she said of Dietrich.
“Has (he) ever demonstrated remorse?” John M. Solt, Hazleton, Dietrich’s lawyer,
asked her.
“Yes,” Velo-Zorzi answered.
Dietrich also said he attends weekly meetings and weekly therapy sessions, and added
that he will continue to do so.
“I recognize the need to continue my therapy once a week for the rest of my life,” he
said.
He also said he no longer has either a computer or a mart phone in an effort to avoid
pornography.
Domalakes praised Dietrich for the measures he has taken to remedy his problems, but
said those were not enough to keep him out of prison.
“Your steps ... are commendable,” Domalakes told Dietrich. “You still have a debt to pay
society.”
The Megan’s Law sanctions to which Dietrich will be subject after he leaves prison
require him to provide his name, address, employment, any schools he might attend,
registration of any vehicles he owns and other information to the Pennsylvania State
Police for the rest of his life. Any violation of the sanctions would be an additional crime
and subject Dietrich to further prosecution.
Defendant: Jason K. Dietrich
Age: 40
Residence: Drums, formerly of Lavelle
Crimes committed: 56 counts each of photographing, filming or depicting a sex act on a
computer and sexual abuse of children-child pornography, eight of invasion of privacy
and four of criminal use of a communication facility
Prison sentence: Nine to 30 months in a state correctional institution, plus 12 additional
years on probation and 25 years of Megan’s law sanctions after prison

Altoona Mirror (08/11/2016)
By the Editorial Board
http://www.theprogressnews.com/news/state/editorials-from-aroundpennsylvania/article_6cd5c9b2-a460-596c-9a1e-65949201d440.html
The $250 million in overtime costs Pennsylvania paid out to state workers last year is an
eye-opening number.
But until there's a full analysis of how that figure stacks up against the cost of full-time
worker hirings that would have eliminated the need for much or all of that overtime,
state residents should delay condemning that seemingly excessive outlay.
Full-time salaries and fringe benefits to which those additional employees would be
entitled would exact a heavy toll on the commonwealth's coffers as well.
Nevertheless, state residents should be aware of such spending. Likewise, they should
be aware of why overtime pay has grown so significantly over a short time.
An Associated Press article in Tuesday's Mirror reported that the $250 million 2015
overtime cost represented an increase of nearly 10 percent over 2014. The article said
an analysis of state payroll records by the Sunday Times of Scranton revealed a fiveyear trend of increased use of overtime.
That time period encompassed both Republican and Democratic gubernatorial
administrations.
According to the Scranton newspaper's data compilation, the increasing use of overtime
has been fueled by hiring freezes and unfilled job vacancies.
But there were other causes, too, such as overtime necessitated by implementation of
new child-protection laws passed as a result of the Jerry Sandusky and Roman Catholic
clergy child sexual-abuse scandals.
Unfortunately, the Altoona-Johnstown Catholic Diocese has been a troubling cause of
some of that additional overtime spending.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia last September was welcomed and uplifting to the
state as a whole, but it didn't occur without cost to government financial resources.
State police staffing for the visit was extensive, and that staffing involved much overtime
because of the need to maintain normal police coverage and duties across the rest of
the state while the pontiff was here.
Meanwhile, Tuesday's article also emphasized the overtime costs associated with
needed around-the-clock medical care at state hospitals as well as prison employee
overtime.
Blair County is keenly aware of the prison-overtime issue, having wrestled with it for
several years.
A drop in overtime at the Hollidaysburg lockup recently has been deemed
"encouraging," but that has evolved mostly because of the hiring of 12 additional fulltime corrections officers.
In essence, the county is paying less from its overtime "pocket" but more from its
fulltime "pocket," although it seems more palatable to be paying straight wages rather
than time-and-a-half pay for hours worked beyond the regular eight-hour workday.
That's an issue for the state to delve into also, due to the more than doubling of state
prison overtime since 2010, when it was $49 million. The total amount spent for
overtime last year was $100 million.
One encouraging step is the current examination by the nonpartisan Legislative Budget
and Finance Committee of the benefits of utilizing prison overtime versus hiring more
staff. That study presumably will provide guidance going forward, not only regarding the
prisons but other departments as well.
If the state is due any criticism at this point regarding overtime spending, it's that leaders
only now seem to be getting serious about weighing the two options — overtime and
additional hiring — against one another to determine which one is most cost-effective.
That task should be a routine exercise.

Overdose deaths on pace to nearly double in 2016 in Cumberland County
By Joshua Vaughn
Cumberland County is on pace to have nearly twice as many deaths due to drug
overdoses this year than it did in 2015, and the county has already eclipsed the 2015
mark with nearly five months remaining in 2016.
According to Cumberland County Coroner Charley Hall, there have been 44 overdose
deaths in the county so far this year. There were only 41 overdose deaths in the entirety
of 2015.
If the current trend holds steady, Cumberland County could see more than 75 overdose
deaths by the end of 2016, a nearly 83 percent increase compared to 2015, and an
almost three-fold spike since 2012.
Deaths attributed to heroin are seeing similar trends, Hall said.
In 2015, heroin accounted for 19 overdose deaths. So far in 2016, heroin use has
resulted in the death of 20 people, according to Hall.
“We are seeing more and more synthetic opioids, Fentanyl, Norfentanyl, and Acetyl
Fentanyl and one called U4777,” Hall said.
Hall said there have already been eight confirmed deaths where heroin was mixed with
Fentanyl. Another 10 cases are currently awaiting toxicology, he said.
He said synthetic opiates, like Fentanyl, do not show up on preliminary drug screenings
and require laboratory testing to identify.
The rising trend of drug overdoses appears in the increased use of the anti-opiate
overdose drug, naloxone, according to Cumberland Goodwill EMS Assistant Chief
Nathan Harig, who said naloxone was used on 87 patients in all of 2015.
“We’re seeing not only more patients who are suffering an overdose, but also patients
who are requiring more naloxone to treat their overdoses,” Harig said. “This is most
likely because of worse batches of heroin that tend to be laced with another narcotic or
sedative. Some of these sedatives cannot be counteracted by naloxone, leading to
patient death.”
Harig said naloxone is administered to patients who are unconscious. This can mean
some patients who did not use drugs will have naloxone administered as way to rule out
drug use. He said that for every overdose patient that his department sees, there are
likely at least three more addicted to opiates.
“A lot of the public tends to feel that naloxone is enabling the opiate overdose problem,
but research is showing it’s not,” Harig said. “It’s a tool toward recovery, similar to a
bandage, where at least now the patient is alive to get them to rehab. That’s the next
step lawmakers have to take — better recovery coverage, options and even considering
requiring overdose patients to go to rehab instead of being able to sign themselves out
of the hospital. We also need to make sure there is a path back to society, jobs and
families for these people — if they feel stigmatized and outcast they won’t get the help
they desperately need.”
More than half of all overdose deaths in 2015 involved victims who were between 20
and 39 years old. All but one victim, who was listed as Hispanic, were white, according
to a report released by the Pennsylvania Coroner’s Association.
“Addiction is a sickness, it changes brain chemistry, and often we like to make up a
fantasy about what an addicted person looks like,” Harig said. “We’ve been to the
overdoses, these patients are from every walk of life. They have jobs, they have
families, they are rich, they are poor, they are white, they are black. What we’re seeing
now is that, because of stigma, money, or health coverage, our patients overdosing
tend to be white males around 25 to 35 years of age.”
Individuals with recent criminal charges made up nearly 60 percent of all overdose in
2015 and were more than 110 times more likely to die of an overdose death last year
than those without recent charges, according to analysis of court and coroner records
conducted by The Sentinel in January.
“We need to create an environment that promotes getting these people the right
treatment- if a friend had cancer we’d rally around and offer them our love and support
to make sure that was the case,” Harig said. “Opiate addiction is a fatal epidemic, lets
support those affected and let them know we want them to get better.”

MAT/ Vivitrol
Highlands Today (Florida) (08/11/2016)

New program offered at jail helps inmates beat drug addiction
By Jay Meisel
SEBRING — For Brian Pearce, the path to becoming a drug addict came through his
friends.
While incarcerated at the Highlands County Jail this week, Pearce recalled that when
his friends started using drugs he became curious and tried them.
Since then, he said, he’s been unsuccessful in trying to quit using the drugs. Even a
drug rehab program didn’t help.
But, he’s hoping a relatively new program offered at the Highlands County Jail will help
him kick the addiction.
The jail began offering monthly Vivitrol injections to inmates who are addicted to opiate
drugs, such as heroin and oxycodone, and alcohol. Information provided by the jail
states that Vivitrol makes it nearly impossible for an addict to get “high” by using the
drug.
One Vivitrol injection lasts for a month.
“Your cravings go down,” Pearce said. With each injection, he said, he feels less of a
desire to use drugs.
Pearce was charged in May with possession of heroin, possession of
methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia and introduction of contraband
into a jail. He’s hoping to be released within the next year.
While the program began at the jail only two months ago — Highlands County Jail is the
only county jail in Florida providing the program — the drug has been around for some
time, said Dr. Donald Geldart, medical director at the jail.
Geldart said the problem has been that the drug was only available in pill form. So if the
addict failed even only one day to take the pill, they could relapse, he said.
With the addict receiving the drug through injection and its effects lasting a month, it
won’t be so easy for them to have a relapse, he said.
Dorothy Reed, nursing administrator and behavioral health coordinator, said inmates
have to see a doctor before joining the program and also must no longer have
withdrawal symptoms from drug use.
Once the prisoners are released they participate in a program with Tri County Human
Services, where they continue to get injections and also receive counseling, Reed said.
Generally, people continue to get Vivitrol for six months, but it may be for a longer
period, Reed said.
Geldart said the aim is to give people tools they use to help avoid relapsing.
“Addiction is a lifelong problem,” he said. “Therapy is essential. It’s no different than any
other disease.”
Elizabeth Rosenthal, a Highlands County Jail inmate, said she believes a counseling
program is essential to supplement the Vivitrol.
She said she got her first injection of Vivitrol last month. So far she hasn’t felt a lot
different, but added that she believes it will be most effective outside the jail.
Vivitrol is more effective than drugs like methadone that are used to get people off
heroin, Rosenthal said.
Essentially, she said, people get off heroin, but become addicted to methadone.
She said she got addicted to prescription drugs after having them prescribed for pain.
Although she got off the drugs for awhile, she needed them again for pain after
receiving medical treatment.
That led her to becoming addicted and getting arrested, she said.
“It’s just a vicious cycle,” she said.
But, now with the help of Vivitrol and counseling, she said, she sees a way out of that
cycle.

Penalties too harsh for killer who threw urine, feces at prison guards, court says
By MaryAnn Spoto
TRENTON — A convicted killer spent too much time in solitary confinement for throwing
a bucket of feces, urine and hot water on two corrections officers, a state appellate
panel said on Thursday.
Although the Appellate Division's published decision doesn't return to Rigoberto Mejia
any of the 3.5 years he spent in administrative segregation, it does help New Jersey
Department of Corrections administrators establish guidelines to treat inmates more
fairly in future disciplinary actions, the panel said.
"We anticipate that the requirement for the consideration and articulation of sanctioning
factors by hearing officers this opinion imposes will assure that sanctioning of state
prisoners becomes more 'fair and equitable,' a state goal of the DOC," the 17-page
decision concluded.
Mejia, 57, who is serving 40 years in New Jersey State Prison for murder, threw a
bucket of hot water, feces and urine on a corrections officer outside his cell on July 15,
2013. The substance hit another corrections officer who was below Mejia's cell, the
court document said.
When the officers tried to get into his cell, Mejia tied a bed sheet to the door.
At an administrative hearing, Mejia, who claimed he felt the officer "wanted to jump
him," was found guilty of two counts of throwing bodily fluids, tampering with or blocking
any locked device and disruptive conduct.
The hearing officer imposed as a penalty 1,275 days of administrative segregation, 30
days of disciplinary detention, 90 days' loss of television, phone and radio privileges and
60 days' loss of recreation privileges. He was also prohibited from having 910 days
count toward the day of his potential release on parole.
In two appeals, the Department of Corrections upheld his conviction and penalties.
But the appellate panel, consisting of judges Jose Fuentes, Ellen Koblitz, and Robert
Gilson said the sanctions were "arbitrary and unreasonable."
At the most, the court said, Mejia should have spent up to 365 days in solitary
confinement.
The panel said that to justify the severe penalty, the Department of Corrections needed
more documentation than saying that Mejia's behavior was "disgusting," that it caused
the corrections officers to seek medical attention and that he should be held
accountable for his actions.
Mejia was sentenced to death for killing a co-worker, Balbino Garcia, in December 1991
at the Breakers Hotel in Spring Lake over $750, but his sentence was converted to 40
years behind bars in 1995.

A Therapist Who Preps White-Collar Criminals for Prison Time
By Bouree Lam
The term “white-collar crime” is attributed to Edwin Sutherland, an American sociologist
and criminologist who, in a 1939 speech to the American Sociological Association, used
the term to describe professionals’ illegal behavior. Before Sutherland, criminals of all
sorts tended to be lumped together, but Sutherland theorized that money-related crimes
deserved special attention.
But, as prominently as corporate fraudsters have loomed in the public eye long after
Sutherland’s coinage, prosecutions of white-collar crime are actually at a 20-year low.
According to statistics compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at
Syracuse University, the projected number of white-collar prosecutions in 2016 is higher
than 6,000; the figure for 1995 was nearly 11,000.
Andrew Snyder has worked in the criminal-justice system for over 30 years, starting as
a correctional officer with the California Department of Corrections. After retiring from
the criminal-justice system, Snyder pursued a graduate degree and became a therapist
to work with first-time offenders and their families before, during, and after serving time.
Snyder also has a podcast, Prison Life, in which he speaks to white-collar criminals
about their motivations and how their lives changed as a result of their misdeeds. I
spoke with Snyder about his line of work, whether it’s possible to prepare for prison, and
how he can help families through the process. The interview that follows has been
lightly edited for length and clarity.
Bourree Lam: How did you start in this line of work?
Andrew Snyder: My career began working for the California Department of Corrections.
I started as a correctional officer working inside prison and dealt with inmates daily. It is
often that officers counsel inmates, not only in times of misbehavior but also when they
are facing challenges both inside and out of prison. After I retired, I became a marriage
and family therapist and substance-abuse counselor.
In 2012, I had watched a documentary, Unraveled, about Marc Dreier. He was a
prominent New York attorney who was convicted of fraud. The documentary showed
him under home arrest before his sentencing. I realized, while watching that
documentary, that first-time offenders going to prison weren't getting adequate and
competent guidance. Largely, those doing the preparation are ex-convicts and exinmates. There isn't anyone with my background and my experience: I’ve worked in
prisons as a correctional officer, and I practice marriage and family therapy, so I’m able
to discuss those really difficult and emotional concerns with families.
I started formulating the business, and tried it out in 2013. I started working with families
in all geographic locations. I'm based in Hawaii, but I do a lot of work in New York,
California, and nationwide because I primarily work with inmates that are going to the
federal system.
Lam: What's involved in preparing these first-time offenders and their families for
prison?
Snyder: Truly, it's listening. I don't set the agenda per se. Many of my clients are
distressed about going to prison and being away from their families. My job is to listen to
their concerns and consider what will be most helpful to ease their worries and prepare
them for their incarceration. We anticipate the likely challenges they will face, inside and
out of prison, and focus on building support from other family and friends, planning for
release, and reuniting after incarceration.
I let the families talk about what they feel are the biggest concerns. You can imagine the
distress in everyone's minds about the prison experience. My clients are typically firsttime offenders who have never been in trouble with the law before; their basis for what
prison is [comes from] TV shows and movies—which is largely not true. It's embellished
and hyped-up. It's about easing those concerns: Listening to what they have to say, and
what's troubling them the most.
Then, we shift to preparing for prison based on what it really is. If you're a first-time
offender convicted of a white-collar crime—let's say you have a 24-month sentence—
you're likely going to a federal prison camp. That's a big difference, between going to a
medium-security or maximum-security prison. The danger is much lower; there's a lot
more autonomy than you would have at a higher-security institution. It's doable, but
difficult: There are separation issues, being away from family. And for the family, having
a father or mother away from them. That's what we focus on.
Lam: Tell me more about this gap: You mentioned that first-time offenders and their
families have these preconceptions of what prison's going to be like. Your job is
preparing them for what it's actually like?
Snyder: Right. The prison experience largely is based on what you're convicted of. If
you’re someone who's going for bank fraud, it's going to be a lot different than if you're
going in for murder—because the security level that you're going to be housed at is
going to be different. They don't house all those inmates together.
When you're going into a minimum-security institution, like a federal prison camp, the
danger is so reduced by being there versus a maximum- or a medium-security prison.
Those are hardcore criminals and they're dangerous. There's a lot of volatility, and a lot
of assaults. It's much more difficult. The stress level is 10 times higher in those kinds of
institutions, and remarkably as well for the officers that work in there.
Federal prison camp is—I’m not going to say a cakewalk—but it's much easier than a
higher-security institution. What I impart on clients is: This is what it's likely going to be
like for you. You're not going to be always looking over your shoulder thinking, “Who
might attack me? Who may want to hurt me?” People at a federal prison camp realize
that it's a blessing, and that it's something that can be taken away. So they don't
misbehave at the level they do elsewhere in the institutions.
Lam: What kinds of criminals do you work with?
Snyder: Largely, it's white-collar. I've also worked with sex offenders receiving child
pornography. That's a lot different than being convicted of a white-collar crime—the
housing is going to be different. They're not allowed to be at federal prison camps. They
have to be at least in a low-security, and the difference there is it's behind a perimeter
fence.
There, you're likely to be discovered what your crime is. Jared Fogle, the pitchman for
Subway, comes to mind. He has a 15-year sentence, which is not eligible for the federal
prison camp. He went to low-security; I'm sure you read he was attacked inside prison.
It’s different preparing the two: Both are first-time offenders, but the prison experiences
can be very different.
Lam: How does one prepare for this kind of stress? Besides listening, what do you do to
help prospective inmates and their families prepare?
Snyder: By listening, I can start to evaluate and assess their concerns. You can reduce
anxiety by giving them the information, and letting them know what their experience will
likely be like inside the prison. You talk about that with them, as well as their family.
I start with the offender by himself or herself. We talk one-on-one and get their concerns
out, and then I meet with the family the next day. It's about giving them a map,
familiarizing them with the territory—so when they get there, they know what to expect
and there's no surprises.
That being said, I always warn my clients to expect the unexpected. Things can change
on a dime when you're in prison. You don't have the control that you had when you're
living in freedom. The Department of Corrections, or the Bureau of Prisons for the
federal, they control your whole life. They absolutely do. You mabe expecting to go to
one prison, and then that’s not happening and you're going somewhere else. It can turn
everyone's life upside-down. I try to prepare them for those events. It's about coping
and support.
Lam: In prison, a person is removed from everyone he or she knows. What do you
advise your clients to do, in terms of not being able to see or talk to friends and family?
Snyder: There is visitation, and most inmates are allowed to have e-mail privileges with
their family, so there is communication. They, of course, have phone conversations too.
I also talk about the chance of being manipulated inside by other inmates. I caution
them about whom they start to build relationships with inside the prison. It's a
challenging walk for them. The isolation—being away from family—is really difficult for
the family as well as the offender.
I essentially tell them, "This too will pass." Most inmates [I work with] are going to get
out soon enough—"Cope with it. Deal with it the best you can. Get involved." Most of
my clients are college-educated; they have a lot of skills. I encourage them to tutor and
teach inmates that haven't had the opportunities that my clients have had.
Lam: It sounds like this is very sensitive for everybody involved. How does your work
change based on how emotional—stressed, angry, anxious, worried, depressed—your
clients are?
Snyder: Sometimes, it can be very emotionally charged when you're meeting with
families. What I oftentimes notice happening is there's the blame game, where people
are pointing fingers. What I try to do is shift their focus from blaming: "How are we going
to deal with this most constructively?" It's separating the anger—for example, "How
could you do this? Look what you've done to the family"—and switching that to, "How
are we going to succeed as a family now? What do we need to do to get it right?" It's
difficult, I'll tell you.
Lam: I know it's not the same for every client, but what are some of the general tips for
how to keep the family together and how to not fall apart in these situations?
Snyder: For family and friends: Faith, hope, and building support. For the single parent,
the one who's the remaining caregiver, they're carrying a heavy load. They're taking
care of these children all by themselves. I always encourage therapy. Find a good
therapist that you can talk to, because that helps. Otherwise, it's a pressure cooker. The
children will also experience a lot of challenges: Their friends will find out, and
classmates will find out about mom or dad being at prison. They're bullied, teased, and
they will internalize that. They're my biggest concern, truly. That's where I really stress
the support for the kids and the caregiver.
Lam: How many clients do you work with?
Snyder: I meet with families twice a month on average. I have a therapy practice here in
Hawaii, and I do the Prison Advisory Services as well. Some families come here to
Hawaii; it's a great place to come vacation before you go to prison. Those who are out
on bail or bond usually have privileges to travel. They'll spend a week here. I also travel
all over the country to see clients where they live. Then I also do the executive
coaching.
A lot of this is preventable, [the white-collar criminals] I work with that are going to
prison, if they would've just sought help years earlier. It's tragic.
Lam: So your executive coaching is aimed at helping executives not become whitecollar criminals?
Snyder: Not necessarily “not become white-collar criminals.” It's about succeeding in life
and career. My coaching is about burnout, stress, and fatigue. That's when people
make bad choices. Also, not everyone is getting indicted in a federal judicial system—
some get fired. What I've found with working with the offenders is it could've been
prevented if they would've had help to discuss some of these things and make wiser
choices.
Lam: What's the most rewarding part of your job?
Snyder: The rewarding part is when they succeed, when the families work together.
There's cohesiveness, they built support, and they get through it. Some people are
stubborn and won't try to do things differently, and they have the most challenges.
Dealing with the prisoner experience, there can be divorces and children move away.
They're estranged from families. It can, and does, tear families apart. Some do very
well, and some don't do so well. The ones that are most rewarding are when they do
succeed and flourish. They rebuild their family, and understand that their priorities were
once not straight. That's powerful, and that's what it's all about for me.

State prisons unsure about length of prisoner sentences, double-checking paperwork
By Joseph O’Sullivan
OLYMPIA — The state Department of Corrections (DOC) is conducting a broad review
to make sure offenders are serving the right amount of prison and communitysupervision time.
DOC Acting Secretary Richard Morgan, in a memo sent Aug. 4 and updated this week,
directed corrections staff to verify sentencing information before anyone is released
from prison or community supervision.
“To ensure public safety, I am directing staff to verify supervision end dates,” Morgan
wrote. He added that agency staff must check offenders’ records “prior to
termination/closure from supervision or release from confinement.”
Officials say the examination is not in response to a particular incident.
Morgan marked the email “importance high” and in the memo calls his directive a “time
sensitive” request.
Specifically, staff is checking whether forms used by the courts are clear on whether
sentences are consecutive or concurrent, according to DOC spokesman Jeremy
Barclay.
The review follows revelations in the past year of two separate sentence-calculation
problems. In December, DOC and Gov. Jay Inslee announced that between 2002 and
2015, some offenders convicted of violent crimes had been mistakenly released early —
an error that may have freed as many as 3,100 prisoners overall.
In January, Washington’s court system moved to fix language on a sentencing form that
improperly shortened the community-supervision and treatment times for dozens of sex
offenders.
Barclay said he isn’t aware of new examples of an offender getting out early or being
held too long. And the review ordered by Morgan so far hasn’t revealed any new
systemwide sentencing problem, Barclay said.
But the problem with the incorrect sex-offender sentencing form led to questions about
other forms and whether they accurately state offenders’ sentences, he added.
Nearly 19,000 offenders are in prison or some other type of DOC confinement,
according to a 2016 agency fact sheet. DOC also oversees approximately 17,600
offenders on community supervision.
While under supervision, offenders check in with community corrections officers and
must meet a variety of conditions, which can include drug tests or programs to help with
substance abuse and family reunification.
Inslee spokeswoman Jaime Smith said Morgan informed the governor’s office of the
review last week. One concern is that courts send sentencing forms to DOC that are
“often incomplete, or inaccurate and unclear,” Smith said.
With the review, “they’re trying to reduce the risk of errors,” Smith added.
An investigation ordered by Inslee found that the long-running miscalculation of
sentences he announced late last year was known to some state employees in 2012.
A concerned family of a victim alerted DOC that year that an offender was scheduled to
be released too early. But a software-programming fix was delayed 16 times — and not
made until this year.
Two deaths have been blamed on inmates who should have been in prison but were
released early, officials have said. Two men face charges.
After the investigation commissioned by Inslee, a Democrat, several people resigned or
were demoted separate inquiry led, by two GOP state senators, blamed former
Corrections Secretary Bernie Warner for failing to fix the problem.
In January, state officials identified a separate issue — incorrect language on a court
sentencing form for offenders going through the Special Sex Offender Sentencing
Alternative program.
A review found that mistake had shortened community-supervision time for 73 offenders
who were still in the program and led an additional 32 offenders to be supervised for too
long, DOC has said.
In that case, it’s unclear whether any offenders actually were released early from
supervision or whether the long-running problem was fixed by correcting the dates.

Philadelphia is looking to skip bail
By HAYDEN MITMAN
Every day in Philadelphia thousands of men and women languish in jail, yet to be
convicted of a crime.
Some have been locked up for a few days. Others for weeks or months, or longer.
They remain behind bars to await trial – jeopardizing employment and housing, for
some – because they can't afford bail.
"With a cash bail system, rich people go home and poor people don't," says J. Jondhi
Harrell, executive director of The Center for Returning Citizens and a member of City
Council's Special Committee on Criminal Justice Reform.
Across the country, cash bail as an institution is being re-evaluated in a drive for pretrial
justice. Many cities are asking if it's cost-effective — or, in some cases, even
unconstitutional — to lock up individuals for weeks and months as they await trial.
Next year, the state of New Jersey will implement bail reforms. New York City has
recently implemented bail reforms intended to reduce the number of people in prison for
minor offenses, and Chicago is adopting a new system that would allow those accused
of committing non-violent crimes to be released if their cases take more than 30 days to
get to trial.
Some are looking to learn from Washington, D.C., a city that hasn't required bail in more
than two decades.
Including Philadelphia, which was awarded a $3.5 million grant recently from the
MacArthur Foundation to find ways to cut its inmate population by 34 percent over the
next three years.
City Councilman Curtis Jones Jr. believes the city can exceed that goal.
He and others are convinced bail reform is the way to do it.
Jones has studied the problem extensively, learned how a no-bail system works and
holds a powerful position to help scuttle the current bail system he finds offensive.
THE COST OF INCARCERATION
"I think we are at a time in Philadelphia where people are coming to the table sincerely
wanting to change the criminal justice paradigm," Jones said in a recent interview about
bail reform. "We want to get down to like 5,000 [inmates] and we are at 7,500 on
average. This alone will do that."
Jones, who represents the 4th Councilmanic District and co-chairs the Council's new
Special Committee on Criminal Justice Reform, noted that potentially as many as 70
percent of those 7,500 inmates are being held as they await trial. Many can't afford bail
to gain their release.
By significantly reducing its prison population, the city can save big money.
"We are paying roughly $132 to $134 a day for someone who is there only because
they can't afford the bail," Jones said.
According to Shawn Hawes, a spokesperson for the Philadelphia Department of
Prisons, the city pays somewhere closer to $100 to $110 per day. Hawes noted that the
figure can fluctuate depending on variable costs, including inmate medical expenses.
"I have two types of people in my tent: Those who want to save souls, and those who
want to save money. These types of programs appeal to both. When you reduce bail,
you reduce costs." – City Councilman Curtis Jones Jr.
Jones cites the higher figure of as much as $134 a day, figuring in ancillary costs, like
the expenses incurred by the Sheriff's Department, which is tasked with transporting
prisoners. That responsibility includes staff and vehicle expenses, he said.
For a city that spent more than $246 million on corrections costs alone in 2015, the
huge savings realized by incarcerating significantly fewer inmates could help pay for
other needed city services.
"You cannot save city dollars if you don't attack this," Jones said. "I can count all the
paper clips in the world I want, but if you don't drill down into the cost of justice and the
cost of crime prevention and law enforcement, we're not going to make headway on
this."
Jones has a good understanding of the economics of justice. In addition to his work on
Council's Criminal Justice Reform Committee, he chairs Council's Public Safety
Committee, which has responsibility for police, fire, prisons and the courts – more than
a third of the city's entire budget. Gov. Tom Wolf also appointed Jones to represent
Philadelphia on the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.
"I've had a rapid learning curve on this stuff. But I have immersed myself in it," said
Jones. "I have two types of people in my tent: Those who want to save souls, and those
who want to save money. These types of programs appeal to both. When you reduce
bail, you reduce costs."
Reforming the bail system would mean retooling a system that can have a huge impact
on the lives of low-income citizens. Many defendants unable to post bail find themselves
losing their jobs, educational opportunities or even their homes as they sit behind bars.
WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS
Ask Joshua Glenn, 28, of West Philadelphia, who believes the city would benefit
immensely from bail reform.
He knows firsthand the damaging effects that the city's current system can have on the
lives of young defendants.
In a recent interview, Glenn said the cash bail system robbed him of pivotal moments in
his young life.
At the age of 16, he was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault. The charges were
eventually dropped, but Glenn spent 18 months in jail waiting for his case to be heard.
According to Glenn, his family couldn't afford bail of $2,000 — 10 percent of $20,000 —
in order to get him out.
In that time, he lost a job and missed his high school graduation and his prom.
"I missed out on all the pinnacles of being a young person," he said. "And, when I try to
get jobs, that arrest can still show up."
Last week, Glenn had the opportunity to share his story with Jones and the other
members of Council's Criminal Justice Reform Committee.
It was a story that Jones took to heart.
"We kept him for 18 months... for $2,000 worth of bail," Jones said. "When you walk in
those doors, your life changes, whether you're convicted or not."
Using Jones' figures, Philadelphia paid more than $72,000 to keep Glenn in prison on
$2,000 bail.
The day after that hearing, Glenn, Jones and about 15 others, many of them members
of the No215Jail Coalition, traveled to Washington, D.C., to see how the no-bail system
– in effect since 1992 – works there and help them determine if a similar system can
work here.
In the nation's capital, about nine of every 10 people arrested are released within 24
hours. A defendant is never held because he is unable to afford bail.
After an arrest, the individual is evaluated to determine if he is a risk to society or at risk
of not showing up for a court date. Then they work with counselors – think a hybrid of
parole officer and social worker – and some may be required to undergo drug testing or
meet with a pretrial officer.
Defendants charged with violent crimes or sexual offenses, however, are held for trial,
without monetary conditions.
"If it is violent or sexual or those kinds of heinous kinds of things, you're going away, no
release. Or, if you're a fugitive, have demonstrated that you're a flight risk, then when
you go to jail, you're going to stay there," Jones explained. "But if you're a guy who did
retail theft and what really is wrong with you is that you have an addiction, you aren't
getting released without consequences. There are consequences to every act. So for
you, the judge may say you've got to report to rehab, you've got to be here and you've
got to do community service until your court date to stay out."
Harrell, of The Center for Returning Citizens, said that by removing the bail requirement,
Washington has reinforced one of the most sacred principles of American criminal
justice, that one is considered innocent until proven guilty.
"If we are innocent until proven guilty, then we shouldn't need to have a monetary bond
to make that statement," he said.
Harrell, who spent 25 years in prison, mostly for robbery convictions, visited Washington
with Jones and met with judges there to discuss how the system works.
According to a recent report in the Washington Post, 91 percent of all individuals
arrested in 2015 were released before trial. Of those pretrial releases, 90 percent did
not commit additional crimes before their trial dates. Of the remaining 10 percent who
were arrested for another crime before their trial date, the overwhelming majority of
those offenses were not violent.
In some cases, defendants in pretrial release are found not guilty.
That's why the system is set up so that community service — and aspects of the Day
Reporting Center — are voluntary, Harrell said. A defendant can choose to remain in
custody to await a court date or voluntarily participate in the pretrial protocol.
"The idea is – would you like to sit in jail or would you like to be out there in control of
your life?" he asked.
BAIL REFORM IN PHILADELPHIA?
For bail reform to happen here, Jones said, City Council would need to agree to
overhaul the current system. The Special Committee on Criminal Justice Reform was
formed to evaluate such a proposition.
"We have the authority to decide if we would require bail or not," Jones said of Council.
"We don't have to ask anybody."
Assuming it costs about $134 per day to house each of the 7,500 or so inmates on a
given day, the city pays about $357 million annually. Reducing the population by 70
percent – about 5,250 inmates – would save the city about $247 million, taxpayer
dollars that could be used to create a system of pretrial services, Jones said.
Jones said he envisions Day Reporting Centers in each of Philadelphia's 48 ZIP codes
with counseling staffs and classes to address the myriad issues facing those held in jail.
"The shift is pretrial. We want to start addressing whatever is wrong with you before you
actually go to court," he said. "You're never going to fix whatever is wrong with you, if
you don't start addressing it now."
After last week's trip, he said, the special committee will meet again, followed by
discussions with the full Council. Input from city judges and the city's District Attorney's
Office will be solicited, in part, to figure out how such a pretrial system would be
implemented.
In an interview Thursday, District Attorney Seth Williams said he would support getting
rid of cash bail. "Oh yeah, 100 percent," Williams said, adding that he'd support a
system similar to Washington's. "We've got to try to reduce our prison population in
Philadelphia."
But it's an ambitious plan that won't be achieved overnight, Jones said.
"I feel we have to do something different to get a different result. Caution is the watch
word; when you start tinkering with things, you need to do a beta test first to see what
your results are," Jones said. "So we are going to be slow with it."

Pa. Superior Court rejects murderer Hugo Selenski’s request for new trial
By Steve Mocarsky
HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania Superior Court has denied convicted doublemurderer Hugo Selenski’s request for a new trial, affirming the decisions a Luzerne
County judge made in the case.
A three-judge panel on Thursday issued an opinion affirming the decisions of Judge
Fred Pierantoni III, who oversaw Selenski’s January 2015 trial in the May 2002
strangulation killings of Michael J. Kerkowski and Tammy Lynn Fassett, whose bodies
were unearthed from a shallow grave outside Selenski’s Kingston Township residence
in June 2003.
A jury in February 2015 decided Selenski should serve life in prison after finding him
guilty of two counts of first-degree murder.
The following month, Pierantoni formally sentenced Selenski to serve two consecutive
life sentences for the murders, plus 56 to 120 years in state prison on conspiracy and
robbery charges. He is to serve that sentence consecutive to a 32½- to 65-year
sentence he was already serving for a January 2003 home-invasion robbery.
Selenski had appealed to Superior Court on the following grounds:
• His right to choice of counsel was violated when Pierantoni granted prosecutors’
request to disqualify Selenski’s attorney, Shelly Centini, from representing him after
developing “a strong attorney-client relationship” with her over two years.
The panel of Superior Court judges noted that the state Attorney General had charged
Centini and private investigator James Sulima with witness intimidation in connection
with Selenski’s case. Although the charges were dismissed in June 2014, the Superior
Court judges agreed that Pierantoni was correct in siding with prosecutors, who argued
that Selenski was entitled to counsel, but “not to taxpayer-funded counsel of choice.”
• Prosecutors failed to disclose impeachment evidence regarding prosecution witness
Christina Strom, namely that they had agreed to advocate for her at her delayed federal
sentencing hearing and that a motion to reduce her sentencing based upon her
cooperation had been filed back in 2007.
The panel found that defense counsel cross-examined Strom about her reduced
sentencing, so even though prosecutors didn’t turn over that information pre-trial, the
result of the proceeding would not have been different even if they had.
• Pierantoni failed to provide after the introduction of alleged co-conspirator Paul
Weakley “an appropriate and timely cautionary instruction” to the jury that Weakley’s
guilty plea could not be used as evidence against Selenski.
The panel found that because Selenski’s attorneys did not challenge the adequacy of
the jury instruction or object to the judge’s jury charge during the trial, the issue could
not be raised on appeal.
• Pierantoni allowed the prosecution to introduce former preliminary hearing testimony
of deceased witness Ernest Culp because he could not be cross-examined at trial.
The panel concluded that the defense had “a full and fair opportunity” to cross-examine
Culp at Selenski’s preliminary hearing.
• Pierantoni allowed the prosecution’s forensic pathologist to offer expert testimony
regarding alleged blunt force trauma on Kerkowski’s body that was based on hearsay
facts supplied by Weakley, the prosecution’s chief witness.
The panel concluded that the pathologist’s testimony was not based on hearsay facts
but on his personal observations and on the record testimony of Weakley.
• Pierantoni denied a defense request for a mistrial after Strom testified that Selenski
went to a police station to “talk about a robbery” after prosecutors were specifically
admonished from introducing said testimony.
The panel found that even if the jury could infer that Selenski was implicating himself in
a robbery based on Strom’s testimony, Pierantoni had advised the jury to disregard the
testimony.
• Pierantoni allowed a sitting Common Pleas Court judge to testify for the prosecution,
when the testimony “was irrelevant and highly prejudicial, as it gave the appearance of
using the prestige of his office to advance the credibility of and bolster the
Commonwealth’s case.”
The panel said it could “discern no abuse” of Pierantoni’s discretion in permitting
Wyoming County Judge Brendan Vanston to testify as a fact witness regarding
Selenski’s behavior at a criminal trial for Kerkowski “under the unique circumstances of
this case.”
Selenski is serving out his sentence at State Correctional Institute Forest in Forest
County, according to state prison records.

Life In Prison For Bucks County Convicted Child Rapist Who Tattooed Victims' Names
On Arm
By Kara Seymour
A convicted Bucks County serial sex offender who raped teens and tattooed their
names on his body has been sentenced to multiple life sentences in prison, officials
announced this week.
“Your depravity is beyond measure,” Judge Wallace H. Bateman told Herbert Brown,
56, before imposing the 24 sentences, three of them consecutive.
Brown, classified as a sexually violent predator, has a criminal record dotted with
disturbing crimes. He served prison time for raping two 14-year-old girls in two different
states before being found guilty this year of downloading child pornography.
In April, Brown was convicted of 24 counts of possessing child pornography and one
count of criminal use of a cell phone. Those convictions, along with two prior convictions
for raping children, mandated a life sentence under state law, prosecutors said.
The judge agreed.
Brown received consecutive life sentences for the first two child pornography
convictions. Bucks County Judge Wallace H. Bateman Jr. then imposed life sentences
for each of the remaining 22 counts, ordering them to run concurrent to each other but
consecutive to the other two life sentences.
In total, that amounted to 24 life sentences, three of them running consecutively,
according to the Bucks County District Attorney's office.
A doctor testified that Brown has an "incurable mental abnormality" that predisposes
him to commit sexually violent offenses. Because of that, "he is highly likely to reoffend,"
according to the District Attorney's office.
Brown was first convicted of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in 1994 in Michigan.
He drugged her, took her to a motel and raped her repeatedly over the course of a
weekend, prosecutors say.
Then, after moving to Pennsylvania, Brown was charged with raping another 14-yearold girl and her 12-year-old sister in Perkasie. He pleaded no contest to raping the older
girl and to corruption of minors and criminal mischief involving the 12-year-old.
Brown had the first names of all three victims tattooed onto his arm, calling the markings
“trophies” of his crimes, the judge noted during sentencing.
Brown was sentenced to serve five to 10 years in state prison after pleading guilty to the
Perkasie rape and related crimes in 2001. After he was released, prosecutors say he
used a Facebook account under a fake name to contact one of his prior victims.
In 2015, Brown was arrested for child pornography. H was convicted after a three-day
trial. Brown also was convicted in July for violating Pennsylvania’s sex offender
registration requirements after he failed to disclose to state troopers that he had a
Facebook account. He was sentenced to a concurrent 10- to 20-year prison term for
that crime.

Civil options few for Budd and family
By Matt Farrand
LEWISBURG — Few if any options apparently remain if Sharon Budd, her guardian or
the person responsible for her affairs choose to seek civil damages against four area
men. Brett M. Lahr, Dylan M. Lahr, Tyler G. Porter and Keefer L. McGee are serving
prison terms for felonies connected with events of July 10, 2014, which included
throwing a rock from an Interstate 80 overpass onto a vehicle carrying Budd and her
family.
Budd, of Uniontown, Ohio, sustained critical injuries as a result, underwent numerous
surgeries and spent months at Geisinger Medical Center and a rehab facility in Danville.
Though her progress recovering has been dramatic, reports indicate she will continue to
need care around the clock.

Judge in 'kids for cash' case wants his conviction tossed
By The Associated Press
SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) - A former Pennsylvania judge serving a 28-year prison term for
a scandal that became known as "kids for cash" is trying to have some of his
convictions overturned.
Former Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella (shih-vuh-REHL'-uh) Jr. says in
Thursday's court filings that a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision established a new
rule that he wants to retroactively apply to a motion seeking to throw out his corruption
conviction and sentence.
Ciavarella was convicted of accepting bribes in exchange for ordering kids to a for-profit
detention centers. He denied any quid pro quo.
The high court overturned former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's corruption conviction,
saying his actions didn't necessarily violate federal bribery laws.
The court says some acts - including setting up a meeting - without doing more don't
qualify as an official act.
Filmmakers made a documentary called "Kids for Cash" about the case.

Kids in solitary in Philly jails: 'It was the worst time of my life'
By Samantha Melamed
At age 16, Donyea Phillips hit rock bottom in segregated housing at Philadelphia
Industrial Correctional Center, with a bed sheet for a noose.

Kids in solitary in Philly jails: 'It was the worst time of my life'
"As my fingers and toes started going numb, I remembered Sarah," he said. That's
Sarah Morris, who runs arts workshops for children in the city's adult jails: She was the
only person he could recall encouraging him. "She told me I was good at writing poems.
At the last minute, I remembered that. When I got a sheet around my neck, she saved
my life."
Phillips, now 25 and serving 25 to 50 years for shooting and wounding two police
officers he thought were home intruders, did not attempt suicide again. But he said he
spent nine of 11 months at PICC in isolation. (Morris confirmed that he was segregated
most of that year.)
"It was the worst time of my life," he said by phone from the State Correctional
Institution in Dallas.
Suicide is the top cause of death among incarcerated juveniles, and a U.S. Department
of Justice study found half those suicides take place in solitary confinement.
Psychologists say isolation also can inflict lasting damage on developing brains and
trigger or exacerbate mental illness.
In January, President Obama announced that children in federal custody would no
longer be held in solitary confinement. He cited the suicide of 22-year-old Kalief
Browder, who at 16 had been arrested on robbery charges and never recovered
frospending two years in solitary on Rikers Island in New York. In May, advocates
launched a "Stop Solitary for Kids" campaign, targeting county and state institutions
nationwide.
But for children from Philadelphia, it is not unusual to end up in isolation. In 2015,
juveniles at PICC were placed in punitive segregation 41 times, for an average of 32
days. And, while state law bans seclusion for youths in juvenile placements, advocates
say a loophole allows facilities to isolate them for weeks or months.
"The national conversation about solitary is happening on a level that isn't consistent
with what's often happening on the ground," said Joanna Visser-Adjoian, of the
nonprofit Youth Sentencing & Reentry Project. "In Philadelphia, solitary confinement is
used against children even in pretrial situations, where they have not been convicted of
anything."
But Shawn Hawes, a spokeswoman for Philadelphia jails, said, "No one is actually held
in solitary." Rather, Hawes said, they are held in punitive or administrative segregation.
In a punitive case, a juvenile found to have violated a rule can be punished with a fixed
term of segregation. Juveniles segregated for administrative reasons do not face set
terms and are reviewed about weekly, Hawes said. In either setting, a juvenile is alone
in a cell at least 22 hours a day.
The issue made news in New Jersey in 2010, when the Philadelphia-based Juvenile
Law Center (JLC) sued on behalf of a teenager who came out of seven months in
solitary with severe self-mutilation. A subsequent law limited solitary confinement for
children in New Jersey, and a bill passed by the state Senate in June would end
juvenile solitary altogether.
At PICC, said Michelle Mason, of the Defender Association of Philadelphia, it comes up
"constantly." Visser-Adjoian and Lauren Fine, co-founders of the Youth Sentencing &
Reentry Project, said three of 12 clients they had visited there have been in
segregation.
Fine said those clients are shackled when she meets them.
"There's sort of a dead look in a kid's eye when they've been spending the entire day in
a locked room by themselves," Fine said. "It is really jarring to see a 16-year-old kid with
chains around his belly and hands and feet, and to see that look."
Some are segregated for fighting or talking back, they said.
One woman, who did not want to be identified because her son is still on the juvenile
block at PICC, said her son had been in punitive segregation four times for 30 days
apiece. One stint was for fighting, another for intervening in a fight. The most recent was
for accessing the internet on a school computer, she said. She found out when she tried
to visit, she said. Those in punitive segregation are denied visits and, for the first 15
days, calls.
But PICC Deputy Warden Claudette Martin said she was exploring alternatives:
"They're still kids, and they still think like kids. We think the current policy that is in
effect, of the Philadelphia Department of Prisons, should only apply to the adult
population, not the juvenile population. There are changes that are currently in the
making."
She said she could not say what the alternatives may be, but she said they could be
initiated within three months.
For now, she said, very lengthy periods of segregation - such as those achieved by
adding an administrative term to a punitive one - are "rare."
But that's what Malik Parker said happened while he was awaiting trial at PICC from
September 2013 to August 2014. Parker, now in the State Correctional Institution at
Pine Grove for shooting at police at age 16, said he was segregated for about six
months.
"The prison assumed I was striving to start a violent organization," he said. "At first I
was told 30 days, then it was open-ended. After about 41/2 months, I was told to write a
letter on why I should be allowed out into population."
He was allowed out, but then segregated again when a homemade knife was found in
his cell.
Naomi Goldstein, a Drexel University psychologist and director of the Juvenile Justice
Research and Reform Lab there, said any segregation is particularly damaging for
youths. Young people are more likely to harm themselves because they are impulsive,
emotional, and short-term focused.
"In solitary," she said, "it's hard to imagine ever getting out. So you've got that emotional
response, combined with the sense of hopelessness."
Hawes said juveniles are assessed by mental health and medical staff before being
segregated. But she said she could not recall a juvenile being diverted from segregation
for health reasons.
Donyea Phillips, who said he was segregated for nine months after an altercation with a
guard, was later found to have bipolar disorder.
"I didn't know why my thoughts were the way they were," he said.
California-based photographer Richard Ross, who has met more than 1,000 youths in
solitary in confinement over the last 10 years - his photos of them are at the Free
Library on the Parkway through Sept. 4 - said most come from poor, chaotic, abusive
backgrounds.
"These are kids that need help; they don't need destruction. That's what solitary does,"
he said.
In juvenile facilities, the Juvenile Law Center's Jessica Feierman said, more states are
recognizing that. "More than 20 states now prohibit punitive solitary by law, regulation or
practice," she said.
Restrictions were most successful where administrators led the reform. "It's been critical
to engage in culture change," she said.
In Pennsylvania, state law and policy ban seclusion or locking a youth in a room at a
juvenile facility. They also limit exclusion - restricting a child to an unlocked room or
area alone - to four hours a day.
But if a staffer is present, it is not exclusion, the law says. And through that loophole,
children in state facilities are sometimes isolated all day, for days, weeks, or months on
end, according to Elton Anglada, chief of the juvenile unit at the Defender Association of
Philadelphia.
He said he had seen youths restricted to rooms or "therapeutic work stations" sometimes a chair in a hallway - with staff present. One youth told Anglada he had been
isolated for months for refusing to cut his dreadlocks.
"It looked barbaric to me," Anglada said. "I thought, 'I can't believe this is legal.' "
But, it is. "What looked to me to be solitary didn't meet a legal definition."
Anglada and Feierman wrote to Pennsylvania Human Services Secretary Ted Dallas in
June urging reforms. Kait Gillis, a spokeswoman for the Department of Human
Services, wrote in an email that, contrary to Anglada's interpretation, work stations are
not segregated. She said no data on the use of the stations are available.
"Residents are encouraged to commit to the therapeutic process," she said, "so that
they can return to all regular programming as quickly as possible."

Officials: No issues with new women's work-release program
BY DAVID SINGLETON
It may be too early to pass judgment, but Lackawanna County officials are optimistic
about the direction of the women’s work-release program.
The county prison board agreed June 15 to move the program out of the county jail for
the first time in what is considered a one-year pilot project. The first four participants
were relocated to two county-leased apartments in downtown Scranton later that month.
In the program’s first five weeks, a total of seven women participated in the new
arrangement, said Brian Jeffers, county community corrections director.
Four were still on work-release as of Aug. 1, two others had transitioned back into the
community and one was terminated from the program because of a drug-related
violation, he said.
“We have had no issues in women’s work-release whatsoever so far — knock on
wood,” Mr. Jeffers said. “We had the one termination, but that is part of the business we
are in, unfortunately. We have individuals who battle addictions.”
In deciding to relocate the program from the jail, prison board officials cited the county’s
obligation to give female work-release prisoners opportunities comparable to those
provided to their male counterparts.
The men’s program, which experienced plummeting success rates during the four years
it was housed inside the jail, was returned to the work-release center on Spruce Street
in early June.
Although it is labeled work-release, the women’s program functions more like house
arrest, Mr. Jeffers said. The participants wear electronic anklets, and their activities are
monitored by the community corrections staff the same way it monitors men and women
who are on house arrest.
The reality is the majority of the female participants are in the work-release program
because they have no other place to go, he said.
“When their orders come in, it says ‘work release/house arrest,’ ” Mr. Jeffers said. “The
reason for that is the second they are able to get on their feet, get themselves a job and
get themselves a home plan, they move on to what we would call real house arrest. ...
“Really, what we are doing is giving them an opportunity to get out the door — get them
out of prison, save the taxpayers some money over there and on the other side of it get
these individuals back into the community.”
The county is leasing the two apartments for a year at a total cost of $26,400. That
represents a substantial savings from the roughly $90,000 it costs to house the women
at the jail.
Judge Vito Geroulo, prison board chairman, said getting the women’s program out of
the jail is a long-overdue step in the right direction. Although the present format may not
be the permanent answer, it does have the advantage of being expandable, he said.
“In the meantime, this is certainly meeting our needs and meeting the needs of the
women,” he said. “It really is a plus.”

Lancaster County Prison Board announces new program aimed at transparency,
efficiency
By Christopher Pratt
Officials are promising an unprecedented view into the inner workings of Lancaster
County Prison as they start implementing a new initiative to improve efficiency,
transparency and accountability.
Spearheaded by Prison Board Chairman Josh Parsons, the new initiative called
PrisonStat calls for regular meetings where a prison's performance is evaluated based
on data.
Prison officials will be available to respond to questions at these meetings open to the
public and press.
The idea is to assess the prison, which typically houses close to 900 inmates, based on
various factors including inmate misconduct, use of force by staff, employee injuries,
staff training, staffing trends, overtime and suicides.
"This isn't some kind of silver bullet. ... This is just trying to use data and look at key
things," said Parsons.
The data will be reviewed by Parsons and Warden Cheryl Steberger.
Based on a similar program implemented by the New York City Police Department in
the 1990s, PrisonStat aims to use regular analysis of key data to evaluate and improve
the prison's performance.
"We want the honest data, and if it's not going in the right direction, we'll just figure out
why that is," said Parsons while stressing the importance of good record-keeping.
Parsons said he'll work to ensure staff isn't bogged down prodcing data and reports for
the meetings.
The new initiative comes at a time when employee morale is very low at the 625 E. King
St. facility, which in May admitted to releasing an inmate 17 months late.
According to Parsons, dozens of employees rated the prison at 2.5 on a scale of one to
10 — he met with at least 50 of the 200 or so employees soon after becoming the
prison board chairman in January.
Steberger said her staff is optimistic about PrisonStat. "They're inspired by this, they're
excited," she said.
Prisoner advocates lauded the new initiative.
"It's a tremendous step in the right direction," said Bob Cooper, a longtime advocate
with ties to Have a Heart for Persons in the Criminal Justice System and Ambassadors
for Hope.
Cooper, while speaking at a meeting where the new initiative was announced, called for
PrisonStat data to be made available online so the public can easily access it.
Tom Zeager, who heads Justice & Mercy hoped the new initiative can shed light into
overtime expenses, and measures can be taken to curb it. He also said access to public
defenders is an area where prison can improve its performance.
Melanie Snyder, executive director of the Lancaster County Reentry Management
Organization, was interested in seeing how the prison can better handle inmates with
suicidal tendencies. While acknowledging the subject is complex, Snyder said it's not
unusual for former inmates to describe it as a traumatic experience.
Officials hope to firm up the date for the first PrisonStat session at its Aug. 18 prison
board meeting.

The Progress (08/11/2016)
http://www.theprogressnews.com/news/local/clearfield-county-jail-remains-atcapacity/article_0e967eb2-6215-5f2f-a160-96bb3d12c74f.html
Clearfield County Jail remains at capacity
By Jeff Corcino
Clearfield County Jail continues to be at capacity, prison Warden Greg Collins said at
yesterday’s meeting of the Clearfield County Prison Board.
According to Collins, the jail currently is housing 156 inmates — but normally, the jail
has a capacity of 151. Collins said they have added a few cots to accommodate
additional inmates. Currently, there is only one inmate placed out-of-county, Collins
said.
When the jail does not have enough room, it will house inmates in the jails of
surrounding counties such as Centre, Clinton and Jefferson.
He said the jail has been at or near capacity for most of the year, but there were a few
weeks recently when it was in the 140s.
For the month of July, the jail’s census reflected 146 inmates, committed 100, released
100 and ended with 146 inmates, Collins said when he gave the monthly housing and
revenue report.
The jail also had 27 inmates on home detention for 416 days, one on adult probation for
31 days, and eight on supervised bail for 226 days — reflecting a total number of
incarceration days saved as 673.
In July, the jail paid Centre County Jail $19,500 and the Clinton County Jail $2,100 for
the housing of inmates, according to the bills and accounts list for the month.
In the work release program report for July, the month started with five participants, two
were added, three were paroled and ended the month with four participants; a total of
seven inmates participated in the program in July, Collins said.
The work release inmate account financial account for July is as follows, beginning
balance $2,781, total paychecks deposited $2,476.92, total withdrawn $3,585.17,
ending balance $1,673, amount disbursed to the county treasurer $1,221, year to date
to the county treasurer $11,041.69.
Collins said there seems to be a slight increase in the number of participants in the work
release program.
“It’s picked up slightly,” Collins said.
When asked by County Commissioner Tony Scotto, what is the biggest impediment to
more participating in work release, Collins said it is the lack of jobs. He said many of the
inmates come to the jail unemployed so they don’t have a job to participate in the work
release program.
“The drug test is a small factor anymore,” Collins said. “It used to be the big factor, but
not anymore, it’s the lack of employment.”
Attending the meeting were Clearfield County Commissioners Mark McCracken and
Scotto, County Controller Charles Adamson, Clearfield County District Attorney William
A. Shaw Jr., and Clearfield County Sheriff Wes Thurston. President Judge Fredric J.
Ammerman, chairman, was off yesterday and was absent. Scotto chaired the meeting in
his absence.

Crowding puts added stress on Pa. Jail
Jennifer Fitch
CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. — The Franklin County (Pa.) Jail is above capacity less than
10 years after it opened, and officials said that the crowding issue is causing farreaching stress.
The jail sent 14 female inmates to Indiana County, Pa., in early July, but the beds they
vacated locally were filled within five days.
Now, some of those women's attorneys are filing petitions saying that he county violated
sentencing agreements because Indiana County does not offer the work-release
programs they were promised, Franklin County Court of Common Pleas President
Judge Carol Van Horn said Thursday at a prison board meeting.
Franklin County also needs to consider avoiding gender bias and violating constitutional
rights in the practice of sending the female inmates 130 miles away, Van Horn said.
"We could not, at this point, move them back," Warden William Bechtold said of the jail
being full. "I don't like the fact they're all the way up in Indiana County, but they were the
only one to take them."
Meanwhile, 25 to 30 people are sharing one bathroom in one of the jail's housing units,
he said.
Although he previously estimated the male inmate population might end up in the same
position as the women in about a year, Bechtold said he is revising that estimate based
on July's data.
"Where we are with the women is where we'll be with the men quicker than I thought,"
he said.
The jail's average daily population in July was 482 inmates, including those sent to
Indiana County on contract, two in the hospital and three sentenced to other counties.
Capacity at the jail varies by different measures, but the occupancy certificate reflects a
capacity of 468. The previous facility was three times smaller than the one that opened
in 2007 on Opportunity Avenue.
The jail is renegotiating its contract with neighboring Fulton County to house its inmates.
The two counties together form the 39th Judicial District in the Court of Common Pleas.
Fulton County Sheriff Keith Stains told the prison board that his office is small, and if it is
forced to transport inmates farther away, he will need to hire additional people and buy
a van.
He previously took inmates to Blair County, Pa., and called that "a transportation
nightmare."
"You're having sort of a crisis here with a percentage of your inmates. If we lost our
ability to keep inmates here, our crisis would be huge," Fulton County District Attorney
Travis Kendall said, noting "there is no solution in sight" if Franklin County does not
renew the contract.
Programs offered in the 39th Judicial District, which often are part of sentencing orders,
are not always available elsewhere, Fulton County Chief Probation Officer Daniel Miller
said.
Franklin County government stakeholders plan to meet Sept. 1 to discuss possible
solutions to the housing strains at the jail.
Franklin County Commissioners Chairman David Keller said he would like to find out
why fewer people are earning early release by attending the day-reporting center.
"Any long-term solution needs to take a look at the DRC," he said. "I don't think the
solution is a bigger and better jail."
The jail took in 214 people in July and discharged 189. Bechtold said rates of violence
and contraband drug use increase in any jail as it fills.
"It seems like we're getting more in than we're getting out," he said

ARD not just for white collar criminals
Editorial
In an ideal world, where justice is served with a side dish of mercy and where justice for
all literally means justice for all, regardless of their wealth, it shouldn't matter whether a
criminal defendant has the monetary resources to fund a vigorous defense and ensure
that the state adheres to the letter and spirit of the Constitution.
And it shouldn't matter whether the defendant has the financial wherewithal to
immediately pay restitution for his transgressions. Debtors' prisons went out of fashion
when Dickens was writing about them.
Yet, in the case of York County's administration of the Accelerated Rehabilitative
Disposition program, it appears that those who lack resources to pay restitution up front
are denied a chance for redemption through the ARD program.
In a recent case, a man who was accused of stealing $1,590 from his employer was
turned away from ARD because, in part, he did not have $590 to pay up front to meet
the district attorney's requirement for defendant's to pay all but $1,000 in restitution to
qualify for the program.
His attorney, Assistant Public Defender Katy Nixon, argued that "indigent defendants
are being turned away ... simply because they are poor." She argued that the policy
robs poor people of a fundamental right, that if they are turned away from ARD and not
given a second chance, that they stand the chance of being jailed for their offenses and
then carrying the stigma of a criminal conviction the rest of their lives.
Turning otherwise qualified defendants away from ARD also creates a vicious cycle.
People with a criminal conviction on their record have a hard time finding employment.
Without employment, they cannot pay restitution.
District Attorney Tom Kearney adopted the policy in January when it became apparent
that some defendants who owe a significant amount of restitution cannot pay it during
the two-year window mandated under the law and wind up being dropped from the
program.
That, Kearney said, makes "justice more difficult to obtain," often leading to delays that
could jeopardize cases against some defendants.
As it is, the law does not mandate a uniform policy on prepayment of restitution as a
condition to admission to ARD programs. Standards differ county to county.
Cumberland County, for instance, requires defendants entering ARD to pay restitution
up front before entering the program. But in Franklin County, there is no such
requirement.
Of course, the ability of people who have run afoul of the law to make financial amends
for their offenses has to be taken into consideration. Being placed in ARD – should the
person meet the other requirements of the program – could assist in that effort. ARD
exists to give some defendants a second chance, a chance to start over with a clean
slate.
It is a basic premise of our justice system. The system does not exist just to punish
people and collect their debts. It exists to administer justice and sometimes justice
demands that a person be given a chance to make things right.
In her court filing, Ms. Nixon cited a 1988 state Superior Court decision that ruled
prosecutors could not reject someone from ARD if the defendant makes a "bone fide
effort to pay whole or partial restitution." Denying defendants that chance simply
because they are indigent violates the Constitution, the justices ruled.
That makes sense.
Whether people deserve a second chance should not depend on whether they have
money.
What should matter more is whether granting that opportunity is the most just outcome.

Feds asked to probe mental health setup at State Prison
By DAVE SOLOMON
State House Bureau
CONCORD — A state representative and a national patient rights group are calling for a
federal investigation into the Secure Psychiatric Unit at the state prison in Concord.
Mental health patients considered a danger to themselves or others are incarcerated in
the psychiatric unit at the state prison for men, even if they have committed no crime,
because New Hampshire — unlike 47 other states — has no other place to put them.
The complaint, filed Aug. 3 with the U.S. Department of Justice, claims: “The state of
New Hampshire is systematically and intentionally violating the Constitution as well as
the civil rights and civil liberties of a very vulnerable population.”
The unit was designed to hold individuals involved in the criminal justice system due to
mental health issues, such as those deemed guilty by reason of insanity or those
awaiting certification as competent to stand trial. But it also houses patients who have
done no wrong, if state officials decide they are too dangerous or disruptive to treat at
the state hospital.
Democratic state Rep. Renny Cushing of Hampton has led efforts in the state
Legislature for the past 10 years to address the situation through construction of a
secure unit at the state psychiatric hospital, but has been unsuccessful.
A representative of the Treatment Advocacy Center of Arlington, Va., a patient rights
group, told the Union Leader in June that a formal grievance with the Civil Rights
Division in the federal Department of Justice was in the works.
The complaint to the Special Litigation Section in the U.S. Department of Justice is
signed by Cushing; Frankie Berger, director of advocacy for the Treatment Advocacy
Center; and Arnie Alpert and Maggie Fogarty, co-directors of the N.H. American Friends
Service Committee, a social justice organization.
Associate Attorney General Anne Edwards has said the Secure Psychiatric Unit (SPU)
is not an ideal situation, but it’s not illegal.
“Currently the agencies operate within the mental health system established by the
Legislature,” Edwards said. “If the Legislature chooses to change the operation of the
Secured Psychiatric Unit, then the agencies will comply with that change.”
The complaint suggests that creating a secure location for what are called “forensic”
mental health patients should have been addressed as part of the $30 million mental
health settlement the state agreed to after a class-action lawsuit in 2013.
The settlement does not mention the SPU, and it does not appear to have been part of
the federal investigation at the time.
“This is a circumstance that raises concerns about whether the state of New Hampshire
was forthcoming about the existence of the SPU with officials investigating its mental
health system, as it should be part of any such settlement, but is not,” the complaint
states.
The SPU is part of the Department of Corrections and may not have been addressed in
a probe that focused on the Department of Health and Human Services, “even though it
is clearly a part of the mental health treatment system in New Hampshire,” according to
the complaint.
The use of the men’s state prison to house male and female mental health patients has
been criticized by two separate legislative study committees, both of which urged the
transfer of SPU patients out of the state prison and into a secure unit at the state
hospital.
“New Hampshire has shirked its responsibility to provide appropriate treatment for its
citizens with mental illness because of a general resistance to spend the funds
necessary to do what two separate legislative studies have suggested,” the complaint
states.
“It is abundantly clear that the New Hampshire legislature will not voluntarily remedy the
situation ... As a result, we urge the Department of Justice to step in.”

Private federal prisons — less safe, less secure
By Joe Davidson (Columnist)
Private prisons — unsafe and insecure.
That’s the picture emerging from a Justice Department Office of the Inspector General’s
report that adds to a growing effort to take the profit out of penitentiaries.
The report’s central conclusion: “We found that, in most key areas, contract prisons
incurred more safety and security incidents per capita than comparable BOP (Bureau of
Prisons) institutions and that the BOP needs to improve how it monitors contract prisons
in several areas.”
Those key areas are contraband, incident reports, lockdowns, inmate discipline,
telephone monitoring, grievances, drug testing and sexual misconduct.
“With the exception of fewer incidents of positive drug tests and sexual misconduct, the
contract prisons had more incidents per capita than the BOP institutions in all of the
other categories of data we examined,” the OIG said. “For example, the contract prisons
confiscated eight times as many contraband cellphones annually on average as the
BOP institutions. Contract prisons also had higher rates of assaults, both by inmates on
other inmates and by inmates on staff.”
The private facilities held 12 percent of BOP’s prison population in December, almost
22,700 low-security immigrant adult males with 90 months or less on their sentences.
Three companies have the contracts — Corrections Corporation of America (CCA),
GEO Group, Inc. and Management and Training Corporation (MTC).
In their responses included in the report, each of the three cited their largely
homogeneous inmates as a significant factor in prison misconduct. “Our experience has
been that the criminal alien population housed in contract prisons has a higher rate” of
inmates who pose a security threat, said CCA, the nation’s oldest and largest private
prison company. GEO said the “criminal alien” population “responds as one to any
issue, real or perceived.”
MTC rejected the report’s findings: “Any casual reader would come to the conclusion
that contract prisons are not as safe as BOP prisons. The conclusion is wrong and is
not supported by the work done by the OIG.”
Like any business, private prison companies are in business to make money. That can
lead to cost-cutting and under-staffing that promotes dangerous and unhealthy
conditions.
“In recent years, disturbances in several contract prisons resulted in extensive property
damage, bodily injury, and even the death of a correctional officer,” said Inspector
General Michael E. Horowitz. “Last year, we audited one of these contract prisons and
found that it was regularly understaffed in crucial areas, including correctional officers
and health services workers.”
Many inmates, nearly half in some places and largely Mexican, are serving time for
immigration offenses. “This is due to a new trend in the past decade of criminally
prosecuting people for reentering the country rather than merely processing them
through the civil deportation system,” said Carl Takei, an attorney with the American
Civil Liberty Union’s National Prison Project. “The result is that people serve sometimeslengthy prison sentences in BOP custody before … going through civil deportation
proceedings.”
In an article on the Marshall Project website, Takei said BOP private prison contracts
contribute to poor conditions. The agency exempts “the companies from complying with
most bureau policies, creating financial incentives to overcrowd the facilities up to 115
percent of the originally contracted capacity, and setting perverse incentives to overuse
solitary cells,” he wrote. “For the last decade, the contracts have had a quota requiring
at least 10 percent of the prison to be devoted to isolated confinement, which is nearly
double the percentage of prisoners kept in isolated confinement at facilities managed by
the Bureau of Prisons.”
Asked about those points, BOP did not respond.
Like the private companies, BOP’s response to the report cautioned against comparing
the private prison populations with those in federal facilities. Nonetheless, the agency
agreed to the report’s four recommendations, including increased verification “that
inmates receive basic medical services such as initial medical exams and
immunizations” and “periodic validation of actual Correctional Officer staffing levels.” But
no remedial action will remedy the basic conflict the profit motive provides when
corporations are involved in decisions that directly affect the incarceration of individuals.
Do private companies save money through understaffing? Do private companies have a
profit motive to shortchange prison infirmaries? Do private companies have a financial
interest in keeping prisoners incarcerated? There’s no suggestion that government-run
facilities are free of problems. But at least making money isn’t the motivation.
Political activists, religious groups and organizations like ACLU have long pushed for an
end to private prisons. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton also has joined
the call with this statement on her website: “We must not create private industry
incentives that may contribute — or have the appearance of contributing — to overincarceration.”

Missouri Policy Shows Way to Safely Reducing Probation and Parole Populations
By John Gramlich
John Gramlich, a research officer, evaluates and analyzes state corrections policy for
The Pew Charitable Trusts.
Discussions about U.S. correctional policy tend to focus on the 2.3 million people who
are incarcerated in the nation’s prisons and jails. But a far larger number of
Americans—4.7 million—are serving time on probation or parole, rather than behind
bars.
Increasingly, state policymakers are turning their attention to these individuals and
seeking ways to reduce the sprawling net of U.S. community supervision while
protecting public safety. A four-year-old Missouri policy reveals one promising strategy.
The policy, established as part of the 2012 Justice Reinvestment Act, allows those on
probation or parole in Missouri to earn 30 days off their community sentences for every
full calendar month that they comply with the conditions of their supervision, such as
passing drug tests and checking in regularly with correctional authorities. Known as
“earned compliance credits,” the sentence reductions are available to those who have
already served at least two years on supervision and were convicted of certain crimes,
including drug offenses. Those convicted of more serious crimes are statutorily
excluded from earning the credits.
Missouri’s General Assembly created the policy to incentivize probationers and parolees
to follow the rules of their supervision and, in the process, reduce officer caseloads so
limited resources can be directed at those most at a higher risk of re-offending. The idea
is grounded in research that shows that rewards can be a powerful motivator for
behavior change: The American Probation and Parole Association, for example, found
in a 2013 report that “to be most effective, correctional interventions with individuals
involved in the justice system should consist of positive reinforcements that outnumber
sanctions or punishments.”
Based on data on more than 70,000 people who were discharged from probation or
parole in Missouri before and after the law took effect, the policy is working.
More than 36,000 Missouri probationers and parolees earned compliance credits in the
first three years of the policy, shortening their sentences by an average of 14 months.
The average award went up over time, with many of those discharged from supervision
later in the evaluation period reducing their sentences by nearly two years. The
overwhelming majority of those who earned credits were originally convicted of
nonviolent crimes, such as drug and property offenses.
System-wide, the policy had a pronounced impact. Missouri’s total supervised
population fell 18 percent in three years, from approximately 73,000 to about 60,000.
The average probation and parole officer caseload fell from 70 supervisees in 2012 to
59 in 2015.
Crucially, recidivism rates did not change. Individuals who earned compliance credits
were reconvicted at the same low rate—about 2 percent within one year of discharge
from supervision and 6 percent within two years—as those who were discharged before
the law was enacted, controlling for factors including the average age, sex, race,
criminal history, risk level, and offense type of those ending periods of supervision.
The decline in the state’s supervised population should help probation and parole
officers focus on the people who need the most attention. At the same time, by reducing
long probation and parole terms, the policy has the potential to drive down the number
of individuals who are sent to costly state prison cells each year solely for violating the
technical conditions of their supervision, rather than for committing new crimes.
With millions of Americans on probation or parole, states can learn from one another as
they pursue ways to reduce the size and cost of the corrections system without
compromising public safety. Missouri’s earned compliance credit policy can help guide
the way.

Off-duty corrections officer fatally shoots man outside his house, authorities say
By Anna Merriman For NJ.com
HAMILTON – An off-duty corrections officer fatally shot a man as he walked up to the
officer's front door early Saturday morning, according to a statement from the Mercer
County Prosecutor's Office.
The victim, Dominic Neal, was found lying next to the front steps of the officer's Vicky
Court house around 4 a.m. Saturday, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at the
hospital a short time later, officials said.
The officer's girlfriend, who was home at the time, had a domestic violence restraining
order against Neal, the statement said.
The corrections officer was identified by police sources and property records as Niam
Camp, a senior corrections officer with the Department of Corrections. He told police he
was leaving his house to have a cigarette on his front porch when he saw Neal walking
up the path to his home. Neal had a black hood up and his head down, the statement
said.
Neal walked up the steps to the officer's front door and reached one hand out for the
door handle, keeping the other on his waistband, Camp told police. The officer yelled at
the man to stop but he didn't listen, prompting Camp to pull out his gun and fire three or
four shots through the glass of his front door, the statement said.
Neal's car was found in the area of Buchanan Avenue and McClellan Avenue a short
time later, it said.
No charges have been filed, but the investigation is continuing, officials said.
Joan Horn has heard gunfire in her neighborhood, but she's never been so close to a
shooting.
Neighbors said they were on edge after the gunfire prompted a large police presence in
the normally quiet neighborhood.
A neighbor said she was awakened before 4 a.m. by the sound of two gunshots coming
from the house, which is on a small cul-de-sac in Hamilton. The neighbor, Brandine
Allen, said she looked outside her windows and, after she didn't see anything, decided
to stay inside. A short time later, police swarmed the area and cordoned off the street
with police tape, she said.
"Cops were walking kids out of the cul-de-sac," Allen said.
Another neighbor, Cindy Vanhise, said she didn't hear any shots Saturday morning but
that, when she went to walk her dogs around 6 a.m., she was met by a heavy police
presence in the small neighborhood.
The front door of the home appeared broken out Saturday morning.
Vanhise said the corrections officer lived in the house with his children. He is divorced
and stays quiet most of the time, she said.
"He keeps to himself," Vanhise said.

New Account on Bloodiest US Prison Riot Names Shooters
By Michael Virtanen
Almost 45 years after America's bloodiest prison rebellion, a historian's new account
names troopers and Attica prison guards that investigators believed fatally shot
hostages and many unarmed inmates.
Heather Ann Thompson also writes that authorities knew hostages would die, and
details Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's secret efforts afterward to establish an acceptable
narrative of what happened.
Rockefeller ordered the retaking of the maximum-security prison in western New York
on Sept. 13, 1971. The 1,300 inmates who rioted over conditions four days earlier and
controlled part of the prison had clubs, knives and makeshift weapons and threatened to
kill hostages.
When state police and guards stormed the facility after negotiations stalled, they fatally
shot 29 inmates and 10 hostages.
"They knew they were going to kill the hostages," Thompson told The Associated Press
on Friday.
Details from the book were first published Saturday by the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle. Thompson's book quotes officials who were involved, acknowledging that in
advance. Authorities also never gave the inmates ultimatums, deciding not to tell them
they were coming with guns blazing if they didn't surrender, she said.
The University of Michigan historian cites from public archives and court documents,
some never before public, in "Blood on the Water" scheduled for release later this
month. She found a large cache in an Erie County court storage area a decade ago, no
longer available, while getting repeatedly thwarted by state officials. They denied formal
records requests on the ground that grand jury records are not public, though there are
many other documents in the files, she said.
"This is hugely controversial even today," Thompson said. "There's no statute of
limitations on murder. And there's no statute of limitations on the possibility of filing civil
rights cases."
A particular document contains notes from a series of meetings held in the pool house
of Rockefeller's mansion in the weeks afterward that were attended by the governor, his
top aides, the assistant state attorney general in charge of the investigation and the
state police and prison officials in charge of retaking the prison.
"These potential indictees were now at the home of the governor of New York working
with the head of the Attica investigation to get a formal narrative of what happened at
Attica secured," Thompson wrote. "Also there to help do this were other members of the
State Police who had firsthand knowledge of exactly what had gone down."
Among the topics discussed was one particular trooper who had shot with his own .357
magnum at close range at an inmate whose skull was riddled with bullets, Thompson
wrote. According to an internal police memo, he was asked to resign four days later,
told he wouldn't then be prosecuted.
One hostage was killed by a .44 Magnum rifle, eventually recovered from a prison
guard, she wrote. "Numerous documents from the Attica investigation indicated that
everyone knew exactly who had killed John Monteleone — everyone but John
Monteleone's family."
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman recently sought public disclosure of long
hidden records of one Attica investigation, prompted by families of the slain hostages,
resulting in the release last year of 46 pages. They included accounts from two National
Guardsmen and a doctor who said they saw injured inmates beaten with clubs and
others with wounds indicating they'd been tortured as troopers and guards retook
control.
Ex-prosecutor Malcolm Bell, who joined the criminal investigation in 1973, wrote an
earlier book describing how he spent the next year building grand jury cases toward
indicting a half-dozen state troopers for murder or manslaughter, 60 or 70 for reckless
endangerment, and several ranking officers for what he believed was a cover-up. He
was taken off the case. One trooper was later indicted for reckless endangerment.
Bell didn't name shooters in his book and said Thompson shouldn't have published the
names. Her sources included investigators' documents and statements given by
troopers themselves.
"What's important about those memos is they were works in progress," Bell said. "I think
she has a good book there that has this small but serious flaw, serious in terms of those
people involved."
Thompson said it's important to note that she does not anywhere call anyone a
murderer, which would require a court ruling, very unlikely 45 years later, though it was
clear authorities believed troopers fired recklessly and criminally. She felt obliged as a
historian to keep names in, she said.
The AP obtained a copy of the book Friday. It couldn't independently determine the
names of the 14 troopers and six correction officers identified by investigators as
shooters and has decided not to identify them.

Overhead Rec Doors
All staff,
Due to the higher temperatures we’ve been experiencing recently, our geothermal system’s wells have been heating up
as well. This makes cooling less efficient overall, and if it gets bad enough could shut down the system entirely.
To avoid that, which would be a health hazard to some inmates with health issues, the overhead garage doors must
remain closed 24/7 to allow the system to keep up with itself. The overnight lows and humidity are not going to go low
enough to affect the system so the overhead doors will not be opened evenings or overnight either.
All overhead doors will remain closed through Friday 8/19, at which time we will re‐evaluate with Maintenance based on
the system temperatures and forecast.
Thank you,

Female specific posts
Shift Commanders,
There has been some recent discussion about female specific post staffing in relation to bids with the Acting County
Administrator, HR, and the County Labor Attorney. Hopefully we can have some updated information for you in this
area shortly.
In the meantime, if we have a female‐specific hospital post that was not taken voluntarily, you may take an
appropriately qualified female from a non‐gender specific post in the building to go to the hospital and back‐fill with
voluntary gender‐neutral OT (or mandate if needed, but hoping to avoid mandates).
If there are questions about this, please contact the Warden or myself,

Wellness Tip Monday August 16, 2016
Soda alternatives!
Soft drinks and flavored sodas. There are hundreds of soft drink varieties around the world and they all
have one thing in common. At full strength of say regular cola, or lemonade, they contain 27.5g of sugar
per cup. That’s almost 7 teaspoons in a 1 glass serving. Now you wouldn’t put 7 teaspoons of sugar in your
cup of tea, would you? Diet sodas are even worse. If you really can’t break the soft drink habit, try diluting
the sugary drink with water. Start at half and half then go as low as 10 parts water to 1 part soft drink. You
will be surprised how sweet the full strength version will tastes after a while.
Or:
Try a Fruity Tea Soda (<1g of sugar per cup)
I am seriously addicted to this. My current favorite flavor is Twinings Cranberry and Pomegranate tea. I
make a pot before I go to bed at night so that it’s ready for fizzing up in the morning.
To make Tea Soda: steep 2 tea bags of your favorite herbal tea (tisane) in 3 cups of boiling water. Chill. Add
1 cup of sparkling mineral or soda water. You’ll have instant flavoured fizzy drink with close to no sugar.
Not to mention the lack of coloring and other additives.
Tea flavor infusions to consider: mint, cranberry and pomegranate, strawberry, blackcurrant, chamomile,
lemon.
Mix Coffee + Ice + Milk (~7g of sugar per cup)
A simple iced latte is actually how I prefer to have my morning coffee in summer or when I’m busy rushing
around and I need a caffeine hit but don’t want it to warm me up even further. You could add a teaspoon
of natural vanilla extract for extra sweetness or instead of the flavored syrup commonly added to coffees.
Try Milk with the Basics (~12g of sugar per cup)
So far I have been successful in suggesting my healthier alternatives, and I often enjoy a little glass of
Cacao milk myself as an afternoon treat.
To make Chocolate Milk: try adding a teaspoon or two of cocoa powder or cacao nibs blended in a little
hot milk. For a milkshake add 1/2 an avocado or a couple of cubes of frozen coconut cream and blend.
To make Vanilla Milk: use a teaspoon of vanilla extract instead of vanilla syrup. For a milkshake add 1/2 an
avocado or a couple of cubes of frozen coconut cream and blend.
To make Fruity Milkshakes: and add half of a fresh or frozen banana or 4‐5 strawberries per cup before
blending to make healthier versions of the classic milkshake flavors, with the natural benefit of fiber.

Hello All:
I’m trying to schedule a date for doing a dry run of the September 13 Town
Hall Meeting. The middle school auditorium is booked pretty heavily but will
be available on Friday, September 9 from 3:30 on. Will 3:30 on that date
work for you? A dry run probably wouldn’t take more than 90 minutes.

Population Plan
Warden,
After looking at the numbers, if we were going to follow through with closing the C‐units, we would need to send back
some of our out of county inmates. With the numbers today, we would be 32 male beds short to accommodate our
population. Please keep in mind, this would not allow us any room for special circumstances, such as, Suicide Watches,
Single Cell Status, and State Inmates.
The plan would be to:
1. Close housing units C1, C2 and C3. (rehousing 56 male inmates and 26 female inmates)
2. Change A3 and A4 Housing Units to Female General Population (rehousing 59 male inmates)
3. Change B2 Housing Unit to Male General Population (rehousing 49 female inmates)
Total Male beds required = 115
Total Female beds required = 75
Housing Unit A1 (40) would remain Male Population Disciplinary Custody and Pre‐Class inmates ‐ Open beds 17
(Unavailable ‐ only for DC and pre‐class)
Housing Unit A2 (38) would remain Male General Population – Open Beds 12
Housing Unit A3 (40) changed to Female General Population Females can be accommodated at this time –
with 4 open beds
Housing Unit A4 (39) changed to Female General Population
Housing Unit B1 (56) would remain Male General Population – Open Beds 15
Housing Unit B2 (56) changed to Male General Population – Open Beds 56
Intake, Clothing, Medical, Transport – Open Beds 16 (Unavailable ‐ temporary housing only)
Total Male beds open = 83 – 115 (number of male beds required) = ‐32 beds
Total Female beds open = 79 – 75 (number of females bed required) = 4 open
beds
Please let me know if there is anything else you would like me to do.

RE: General Information Report 2015 Draft Data for Review
Mel,
Great observations. There appears to have been a mapping issue with the data tables with the yearly average housed
elsewhere figure. This is being corrected.
I agree with you about the out count formula. There are a number of counties that are managing beds by contracting
with other counties to house their inmates (and growing). In the spirit of trying to capture the expense of those inmates
it does inflate your inmate costs per day for writ/ata out counts. I am working the Planning and Research person here to
change the formula and omit the out count inmates. This will likely just require an additional question next year in the
breakdown to split out inmates that are housed elsewhere under contract.
Thanks for giving this a good look.

Tom,
Two things.
1. Centre County’s yearly average housed elsewhere was 36.82, not 11. 11 was the snapshot day
2. Why is the cost per inmate per day now including out counts in the formula? Our costs for an out‐count inmate
is nothing, and now they are being double counted by also being in the cost of the county who does have them.

This two-day class includes an historical perspective of The Prison Rape Elimination Act and how and why it has
become part of the operations of confinement facilities. The dynamics of sexual abuse of inmates in confinement,
as it is important to understand who is vulnerable, why they are vulnerable, and how that impacts operational
decisions. The major portion of the class includes a standard-by-standard examination of what compliance ‘looks
like’ in operations, and various options for achieving compliance. The final afternoon will cover the PREA audit
process, from what it is, who can audit, the phases of the audits, and the tools used during the audit. The class will
also include a discussion of the critical nature of investigations, and will provide a basic understanding of the unique
nature of these investigations.

American Jail Association PREA Implementation Class
Atlanta PREA Class.pdf
Greetings County Colleagues,
2
Please find the attached flyer for an AJA training announcement related to PREA.
The attached flyer is for a two‐day class presented by the American Jail Association in Atlanta at the end of September.
This is NOT a grant‐sponsored class, so there is a cost to attend. While this is not a direct PRC class, the content has
been reviewed by the PRC and is fully informed of all the latest issues concerning PREA compliance. If you know anyone
who would be interested in attending, they can register on the AJA website at www.americanjails.org
The class will be co‐instructed by James Kenney, the PREA Coordinator of a large jail in Florida (audited and compliant),
and Beth Layman.
Registration numbers are limited.
Regards,
Tom

Conflict Resolution Services (CRS) was birthed in
1979 as a vision of local attorneys searching for
better ways to solve disputes outside the formal
judicial system. CRS founded in 1980 with the
support of local attorneys and numerous community organizations.
The training offered by CRS will help chaplains
navigate through the many complex relationships and inevitable conflicts they encounter in
corrections. Through key concepts of listening
and paying attention, chaplains will come away
with better approaches to deescalating conflict
inside their correctional institutions.
CRS promotes peaceful conflict resolution
through affordable mediation services and high
quality training. Their vision is to see a growing
community of neighbors who, though having
diverse backgrounds and beliefs, have joined
together to create a high quality of life for all.
This community will create solutions to problems through collaboration. CRS contributes to
this vision by providing an effective process in a
safe place that empowers people to resolve conflict.

On the above date and approximate time, I, Lt. Fisher was called to the A1 housing unit by CO N.
3 Smith due to Inmate Musaibli, Abdullah (16-0880) defecating in the shower. Inmate Musaibli
continued to state that he thought it was funny and that he was not going to ?cuff up? to be removed
from the shower. I gave Inmate Musaibli one order to be restrained or he would be extracted from
3 the shower. Inmate complied with the order and he was moved to cell 9. Shortly after, inmate
Musaibli began hitting and kicking his cell door along with yelling Obscenities throughout the housing
unit. He was given multiple orders by Kling and N. Smith to stop and he refused. I then went to
the unit and gave inmate Musaibli an order to stop or he would be extracted and placed in the
restraint chair. Inmate Musaibli refused once again. It was at this time I assembled a Cell extraction
. team. Due to his actions and the risk that he may injure himself, I made the decision for the team to
- place inmate Musaibli in the restraint chair. I appointed CO Sayers the team leader for this extraction.
1 At approximately 1655 hours, the team and I entered the A1 housing unit and proceeded to cell 9
where inmate Musaibli was housed. CO Sayers gave Inmate Musaibli a single order to come to the
i door to be handcuffed. Inmate Musaibli initially declined then got off of his bunk and came to the cell
5 door. He was restrained by the team without any issues, a spit hood was applied and inmate Musaibli
was successfully removed from the cell. Inmate Musaibli was then successfully placed in the restraint
chair without any issues and escorted to the group holding cell out in the intake area. 15 minute
i interval medical checks began at this time.
. At approximately 1900 hours, Inmate Musaibli was asked if he would like a meal and restroom
break. To which he replied yes. The team was reassembled and proceeded to the intake area. Inmate
Musaiin was removed from the chair for his restroom break. In the process, inmate Musaibli began
moving his leg and foot around after the leg strap was removed. He was given an order to stop
resisting to which he complied. He was escorted to the toilet and given time to use the restroom.
Inmate Musaibli was then returned to the restraint chair and placed back in thechair without an
issue. One of the arm restraints was loosened to allow inmate Musaibli the opportunity to eat his
meal. Inmate Musaibli ate approximately 25 percent of his meal and drank a cup of water. Inmate
Musaibli was also offered his evening medications which he accepted and took willingly. Inmate
Musaibli?s arm was secured back to the restraint chair, he was examined by medical and the team
exited at this time.
At approximately 2050 hours, I Lt. Fisher asked Inmate Musaibli if he would like a restroom break.
Inmate Musaibli refused, Inmate was then offered an exercise break, Inmate Musaibli also refused
the exercise break. I had offered him a cup of water at this time as well, which he had also denied.
At approximately 2230 hours, the extraction team was reassembled to remove inmate Musaibli
from the restraint chair. The team proceeded out to the intake area where they escorted inmate
Musaibli back to the A1 housing unit. Inmate Musaibli was removed from the restraint chair without

I received a call from Lindsay Foster in the DA’s office. She stated the Sheriff’s department is bringing us Joshua Dunlap
sometime tomorrow. She recommended that he be placed somewhere in the facility where he is segregated because he
is labeled as a “snitch” and that he is not housed anywhere near Inmate Kudlach who is in A2. When he arrives he will be
placed on AC status in A1.

Musaibli was given one order to come to the door to be restrained which he complied. He was placed in the restraint
chair and moved out to the group holding cell in the intake area without any issues.

On the above date at the approximate time, a hospital security of?cer entered the room and
requested to speak with either CO Calhoun or myself. I was the one who stepped out to speak with
him. He started the conversation with an apology then explained that there was a complaint made by
one of the nursing staff about inappropriate behavior from the Corrections Of?cers. The security
of?cer recognized how confused I was and reassured me not to worry with statements such as
know this is silly? and ?this is typical of this nurse?; he also stated that this nurse has never dealt with
an inmate and of?cers before. He said the nurse had gone to the coordinator and wanted to pursue
calling the prison to report the behavior but instead he was able to convince her that he will come
speak with us. The complaints made were that CO Calhoun and I would purposely raise the volume of
the television when she entered and that we made comments about stealing blankets from the elderly
. in the hospital. He continued to apologize for having to come tell us this and then left the room. He
3 approached CO Calhoun and I on the way out of the building, talked to us for a little and reassured
us not to worry about it. CO Calhoun and I both noticed that the evening nursing staff seemed very
agitated when they would come into the room, even before any interaction was made. To clarify the
accusations from my position; of?cer Calhoun and I had not touched the remote when staff would
enter, we allowed the nurses to turn the volume down if they chose to do so. I did in fact make a
- remark about blankets being stolen from other patients. The inmate was requesting many blankets
and I made the joke that she shouldn?t have anymore because they would have to take them from
the elderly down the hall.

Public Forgiveness Program
To: All Public Employees
From: AES
More Americans than ever are struggling with hefty student loans. This is why President
Obama enacted the Forgiveness Program, a relief program available only to individuals
working in government or public careers. Qualified individuals may see their principal
reduced up to fifty percent, and any remaining balance you owe after ten years is
completely eradicated.
We can help you see if you can 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 substantial.
(855) 235-1160
8:30am - 5:00pm PST Mon - Fri
Below are some occupations that are eligible for these Forgiveness programs:
Government
501(c) 3
Public Safety and Law Enforcement
Firefighters
Public Health
Military
Thank you,
AES

New Mexico Police Officer Fatally Shot During Traffic Stop
LAS CRUCES - A Hatch police officer died Friday evening after being shot during a
traffic stop.
Officials took three suspects into custody hours earlier and said they were allegedly
responsible for the officer shooting as well as a carjacking and shooting another
man at a rest stop off Interstate 25 in a crime spree that triggered a massive
manhunt.
The slain officer was Jose Chavez, 33, a two-year veteran of the Hatch Police
Department. Nuñez said he learned of Chavez’s death through police Chief Trey
Gimler, who was with Chavez’s family at University Medical Center in El Paso.

for release.
The call was attempted on the blue phone but kept getting disconnected so the call was made on the
black legal phone. I confirmed with Ronald Van Buren that he wanted to speak with Tiara Perez and
he con?rmed that he did. The call was placed on speakerphone and inmate Perez was able to speak
with her father about arranging a ride for release.
The call lasted approximately 1 minute.
Once the call was complete, inmate Perez returned to her housing unit 82, without incident.

Extraction Team due to inmate Musaibli refusing to give his Styrofoam back from his evening meal.
When I went to his cell to ask for it, he had his cell window covered with paper from his security risk
gown. I asked for his Styrofoam and he replied with ?Fuck off?. When the team and I approached his
cell, Team Leader CO Shawver gave him the order to come to the food pass to be handcuffed, he
replied with ?Suck a dick?. He was given a few more orders with no response. He was also informed
that CO would be deployed and he still ignored those orders. At this time OC was deployed in his
cell, the team and I went to the A1 rec yard to put our gas masks on. Once we returned to his cell, he
still refused to be handcuffed. The team assembled, the door was opened and the team entered his
cell. Inmate Musaibli was on the top bunk, the team placed him on the floor. He started to resist the
orders to put his hands behind his back. CO Shawver applied the EBID shield for a short 2-3 second
burst. He complied with the orders and was secured with the restraints then he was escorted to the
shower for decontamination. He was then moved to cell 1 and placed back on security risk. Nurse

Summary
This course will address the many ways in which sexual violence can impact a victim’s mental health in
both the short and the long term. By understanding the specific neurologic response that occurs during
and immediately after a trauma, the learner will better understand the victim’s experience with the legal
system after choosing to report sexual violence. We will also explore the diagnosis of post-traumatic
stress disorder as well as its treatment and how PTSD may affect a victim’s interaction with the legal
system.
Learning Objectives:
Understand sexual violence as a broad, person-specific experience
Understand the scope and prevalence of sexual violence
Identify risk factors for victimization and the development of PTSD
Recognize core symptoms of PTSD and its treatment
Understand the biologic underpinnings of trauma response
Understand the components of trauma-informed care

Laundry
FYI,
Jon from PAC industries visited laundry to discuss equipment.. When we walked into laundry the first word out of his mouth
was “impressive”. He has never seen a 12 year old laundry look as nice as our facility. Jon said he will quote a washing
machine even though we don’t need it. Each machine is capable of 1.5 loads an hour. The washer and dryer quote will be
here Monday. I asked him to quote a heavy duty top load (laundromat type) machine as well. We will always need one in
laundry and intake.

RE: General Information Report 2015 Draft Data for Review
Tom,
Two things.
1. Centre County’s yearly average housed elsewhere was 36.82, not 11. 11 was the snapshot day
2. Why is the cost per inmate per day now including out counts in the formula? Our costs for an out‐count inmate
is nothing, and now they are being double counted by also being in the cost of the county who does have them.

Wellness Tip August 12, 2016
Breathing Exercises to Relax in 10 Minutes or Less
By Jordan Shakeshaft
Over‐worked, under‐slept, and feeling pressure like whoa? There are plenty of ways to find calm—without
investing in a 90‐minute massage. Turns out all you need is a pair of healthy lungs, your breath, and 10
minutes or less. Here are expert‐approved ways to relax using breathing techniques borrowed from yoga,
meditation, and even the therapist’s chair.
The Need‐to‐Know
Don’t wait until fight‐or‐flight kicks in before minding the breath. Controlled breathing not only keeps your
mind and body functioning at their best, it can also lower blood pressure, promote feelings of calm and
relaxation, and help you de‐stress. But follow closely: Easy breathing isn’t quite as easy as it sounds.
Your Action Plan
From the confines of a bed, a desk, or anywhere negativity finds its way, consider these techniques to help
keep calm and carry on.
1. “Equal Breathing”
How it’s done: Balance can do a body good, beginning with the breath. To start, inhale for a count of four,
then exhale for a count of four (all through the nose, which adds a natural resistance to the breath). The
goal in mind: Calm the nervous system, increase focus, and reduce stress.
When it works best: Anytime, anyplace—but this is one technique that’s especially effective before bed.
Similar to counting sheep, if you’re having trouble falling asleep, this breath can help take your mind off
the racing thoughts, or whatever might be distracting you.
Level of difficulty: Beginner
2. Abdominal Breathing Technique
How it’s done: With one hand on the chest and the other on the belly, take a deep breath in through the
nose, ensuring the diaphragm (not the chest) inflates with enough air to create a stretch in the lungs. The
1
goal: Six to 10 deep, slow breaths per minute for 10 minutes each day to experience immediate reductions
to heart rate and blood pressure. Keep at it for six to eight weeks, and those benefits might stick around
even longer.
When it works best: Before a stressful event. But keep in mind, those who operate in a stressed state all
the time might be a little shocked how hard it is to control the breath. To help train the breath, consider
biofeedback tools such as McConnell’s “Breathe Strong” app, which can help users pace their breathing
wherever they are.
Level of difficulty: Beginner
3. Progressive Relaxation
How it’s done: To nix tension from head to toe, close the eyes and focus on tensing and relaxing each
muscle group for two to three seconds each. Start with the feet and toes, then move up to the knees,
thighs, glutes, chest, arms, hands, neck, jaw, and eyes—all while maintaining deep, slow breaths. Having
trouble staying on track? Breathe in through the nose, hold for a count of five while the muscles tense,
then breathe out through the mouth on release.
When it works best: At home, at a desk, or even on the road. One word of caution: Dizziness is never the
goal. If holding the breath ever feels uncomfortable, tone it down to just a few seconds.
Level of difficulty: Beginner

when he was younger and felt as if he would not be able to function with Inmate Sandusky being out
in the dayroom. I informed Inmate Beck that Inmate Sandusky is on Administrative Custody and will
not at any time be unlocked to enter the dayroom when the rest of the unit is unlocked. I continued
to tell him that if he wishes I can have him moved to another block. Inmate Beck then proceeded to
tell me that he did not know he would not be unlocked and if that is the case then he would ?Okay?
to stay in the A2 Housing unit. I made sure I asked inmate Beck a second time if he wanted to be
moved and he said once again that he would like to stay and that it was a misunderstanding. Director

RE: Good morning
Warden,
Please see below as we discussed:
Under subsection 1 where the procedure for overtime is discussed additional language is needed. It should be
mentioned that when index cards are moved to the back of the box with each shift that is taken that the cards
are moved in seniority order in the event that more than one Officer works the same shift. An example would
be two employees both working 3‐11 shift on a certain date. Both cards would need moved to the back of the
box. The cards would be placed in seniority order.
Under subsection 2, I would remove the language that the overtime shifts will be provided by the scheduling
Lieutenant. I would make it say just management in general will provide the list. If the scheduling Lieutenant is
off on a Thursday, then they are not going to be the one providing the list. I would also add language that
additional shifts may be added to the list via email between Thursday and Saturday when the list is called for.
This is fairly common due to additional doctor runs being scheduled and additional staff members submitting for
paid leave for the following week from Thursday when the list is sent out until Saturday when the list is called
for.
I think it’s interesting that in 3a they say:
If the a vacancy becomes known after the schedule has been posted (unscheduled vacancy) and no part time
employee is available, then management will refer to the sign up roster. The shift will be assigned in accordance
to the order of the cards in the box (the front to the back) (back to front). In order to keep overtime fairly
distributed, the date and shift will be written on each individuals index card. If the most Senior officer
received one more recently than the second most senior officer on the list, that next most senior officer will
be granted the overtime.
The Back to Front part means whoever got the most recent overtime gets it again. That’s counterintuitive to
someone volunteering because they know they are near the front. They still don’t get the shift to save a
mandate. That’s the incentive to sign up, you move from near the front back.
Under subsection 4, Mandation I would change the language at “gender specific” at the end of the following,
“The Administration has the ability to pull a female from their bid post, if it is in an emergency call‐off situation
to prevent a gender specific mandate.” This language change makes the section clearer as to why the female is
being pulled on the emergency call‐off basis.

FW: Cooking Classes at CCG
Hi CCCF Friends,
I have heard some feedback from the CO’s that they would like a later class offering because lunch time is never a
time they can get away to attend something like this.
I have a little bit more money in my budget to ask the Dietitian to do one more class, and would schedule that at the
prison but I would like to see if there is interest first before I commit.
While I definitely want to do right by the Prison, I am uncertain at times how or if to schedule wellness programs
there.
If I scheduled a 245pm class would that work? It would be @ 45 mins long.
Thank you,

Dee,
As we discussed, I am requesting that we register early for the Fall Pa Prison Warden’s
Conference. Early registration will save $200.00. It will be held in Hawley (Pike County) on
October 12 -14, 2016. Brenda registration is paid by the Association. Jeff and Melanie will be
$300.00 instead of $400.00. They will need one of our County Vehicles, more than likely the Ford
Expedition.
I am also requesting Approval to send Officer Ty Corl (replacing Andrew Dutrow) and Officer
Mark Waite who needs his certification renewed to travel to GLOCK Armorer school up and back
for 1 day. Training is held at SCI Dallas (2 hours away). The Total Fee for both Officers will be
$500.00 and they will use a Centre County car.
Thank You,

Subject: Early Registration Discount – Fall 2016 Conference
Dear Colleagues,
As discussed at the Spring 2016 Business Meeting, we are pleased to announce an Early Registration Discount
for the Fall 2016 conference. Instead of $ 400 per member, any members submitted registration form and
payment by September 9, 2016 will only be $300 per member. The Early Registration will be open from today
until September 9, 2016.
Additionally discussed this Spring, for our retired members the rate has been kept at $150 per retired
member attending.
The Fall Conference returns to Woodloch Resort in Hawley, PA for October 12‐14. It’s a favorite location for
many of us, and we hope you will consider joining us. Training details and the full agenda will follow.
If you haven’t yet gotten an annual membership in for 2016, it’s not too late. The annual membership
application is attached for your use.
We hope to see you at Woodloch,

From: Lieutenant Millinder
Date: 8/10/2016
Re: Language
Under subsection 1 where the procedure for overtime is discussed additional language is needed.
It should be mentioned that when index cards are moved to the back of the box with each shift
that is taken that the cards are moved in seniority order in the event that more than one Officer
works the same shift. An example would be two employees both working 3-11 shift on a certain
date. Both cards would need moved to the back of the box. The cards would be placed in
seniority order.
Under subsection 2 I would remove the language that the overtime shifts will be provided by the
scheduling Lieutenant. I would make it say just management in general will provide the list. If
the scheduling Lieutenant is off on a Thursday, then they are not going to be the one providing
the list. I would also add language that additional shifts may be added to the list via email
between Thursday and Saturday when the list is called for. This is fairly common due to
additional doctor runs being scheduled and additional staff members submitting for paid leave
for the following week from Thursday when the list is sent out until Saturday when the list is
called for.
Under subsection 4, Mandation I would change the language at “gender specific” at the end of
the following, “The Administration has the ability to pull a female from their bid post, if it is in
an emergency call-off situation to prevent a gender specific mandate.” This language change
makes the section clearer as to why the female is being pulled on the emergency call-off basis.

8/10/16 Reentry Life Skills Subcommittee Meeting Notes
In Attendance:
Harvey Haack
Gene Lauri, CJP
Eileen McKinney, CJP
Amy Rumbel, WRC
Faith Ryan, Adult Services
Rick Smith, CCCF
Wendy Vinhage, Interfaith Human Services
Concerns Mentioned
1. There is a major gap between the programming they receive in the facility to
programming available when individuals are released
2. Preparing individuals for housing
a. Individuals can take a PREP course to learn the basics about being a good tenant
b. PREP courses are not offered at CCCF
c. Unfortunately, landlords are not aware of the significance and/or benefit of PREP
certificated
d. Even if landlords are informed of the significance of PREP certificates, they do
not have an urgency to fill vacant apartments due to the already high demand for
PSU student housing
3. Housing in general is an issue
a. Some inmates may have a place to live upon being released from CCCF,
however, the problem often is whether or not that is a proper home plan
4. 25% of inmates being released from CCCF do not have a valid form of ID
5. There needs to be a valid risk and needs assessment in place to be tied into programming
Factors that Often Influence if An Individual is Successful Upon Release
1. Spouse
2. Who you associate with
3. Managing your money
Identified Areas That Can Be Worked On
1. From Harvey’s experience, four areas he often recognized that needed worked on are:
a. Anger management
b. Communication
c. Conflict resolution
d. Money management
2. Helping inmates obtain a valid ID prior to release
a. The Warden said that he would be willing to make transportation to the license
center available
3. How can you help someone who is unhealthy to become healthy so they feel comfortable
with a healthy mate
4. Resilience Factors – how can you help build someone up so they have the skills to be
able to work through any issues/obstacles successfully
5. Programming for families so they are on the same page as their family member who is
incarcerated and in programming within the facility
8/10/16 Reentry Life Skills Subcommittee Meeting Notes
6. Is there a way individuals can continue in the Pride and Choices programs upon release
7. Implement a risk and needs assessment to individualize programming for inmates
a. Gene said they are waiting on some guidance from PCCD about what the best risk
and needs assessment is
The Warden volunteered to chair the subcommittee.
*The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 24th at 3 p.m. in the CCCF
Conference Room.

was committed from Northumberland. He was placed on AC status. He sharpened a
commissary spoon to a point with a fan there. He then threatened to gouge out another inmate’s eyes with the
weapon. He was housed here due to keep separates at SCI Coal Township.

RE: prison presentation
Elle,
I will try to answer these initially, if you need additional information in an area just let me know and we can try to clarify
further:
• How many prisoners do we have both men and women in Centre County?
271 inmates
197 male (34 contracted from other counties)
74 female (31 contracted from other counties)
• Do you have a re‐entry program currently? Can you describe what it addresses?
I’m not sure exactly what you mean by “re‐entry program”. We have an entire coalition working on reentry
topics with county and community leaders. We use that forum to come up with possible solution for areas like
continuation of services, housing, transportation, ID needs, Medicare/Medicaid enrollment on release, what programs
we offer in the facility, etc.
In the facility we have these programs available, among others:
Offered programs:
GED Program Central Intermediate Unit 10 8 hours per week
Incarcerated Youth School Program Central Intermediate Unit 10‐ 12 hours per week
P.R.I.D.E. Program CCCF Counselor 20 hours per week
Choices Program CCCF Counselor 20 hours per week
Individual Counseling Penn State Psych Clinic 2 hours per week
Outpatient Drug/Alcohol groups Cross Roads Counseling Service 3 hours a
week
Centre County Base Service Unit MH/ID Forensic Case Manager 12 hours a week
TASC Centre County TASC 3 hours per week
Creative Writing Workshop Penn State Graduate Student 2 hours per week
AA/NA groups Volunteer Sponsors 2 hours per week
Bible Study/Spiritual groups Volunteer Leaders 1‐2 hours per wk. ea.
PA. Prison Society‐ weekly visits/monthly presentation
Conflict Resolution Class‐ Centre Peace – 4 week class, 3 hours per week
Centre County Correctional Facility Counselors
Centre County Correctional Facility Work Release/Re Entry Specialist
Volunteer Trustee Work ‐ Centre Peace/County Maintenance
Volunteer Trustee Work ‐ Inside and Outside of Facility
Inmates attend what classes/programs they need or want if they qualify. We have added new options as they
make sense for our population, like the last time this list above was updated I don’t see the Work Keys program through
CareerLink that we now offer. We’re taking a hard look at current curriculum to ensure it meets the needs of our
population and uses the best evidence‐based practices for success.
2
• Do the prisoners now have any programs for drug addiction, etc.?
Yes. We have the PRIDE (men) and CHOICES (women) in house education programs. They are not licensed
treatment, just educational programs. They address drug and alcohol addictions, criminogenic thinking, life skills,
etc. The programs are run by our Drug and Alcohol Therapist who is a Certified Co‐Occurring Disorders Professional with
the assistance of other counselors in specific areas where they have training.
We also have contracts with Crossroad Counseling for licensed counseling. They run Drug and Alcohol groups
and Mental Health groups. When possible, there services are then linked for outpatient treatment when the inmate is
released.
• Is there a "counselor" or clergy service for personal issues?
Yes, there are both. We have 5 counselors currently, and each housing unit has one that is assigned to handle
their general needs. Some specific items are broken up (like notary duties), but there are counselors available to all
inmates. They do the initial classification, ongoing assistance throughout their incarceration, and assist with planning for
a home plan and renewal or initiating services upon release.
In addition we have a male chaplain and a female chaplain who are each in one day per week. We also have a
variety of church groups or bible studies throughout the week.
What is the common name used when talking about the prisoners? inmates? incarcerated? etc.?
We generally use inmate while they are here. In the re‐entry coalition, we refer to people as “Returning
Citizens”.
Also, is there anyone I could or should talk to about presenting this program prior to who could provide appropriate
details?
Jeff Hite is our Director of Treatment who supervises the counselors and programming at the facility. He or I
can hopefully give any feedback you may need.
How long is appropriate for the length of my talk? And, do you think I should have a specific plan for the curriculum
length? Like a 6 week program, or a 13 week program?
I don’t know enough about your planned curriculum to recommend yet. Will this be a fixed group that you
need to start at week 1 and continue to the end, or can people come in mid‐stream and then circle back through to
finish?

Don't forget to register for the webinar - Is There an Epidemic of Mass Shootings?
Don't forget to register!
Is There an Epidemic of Mass Shootings?
Tuesday, August 16
Time:
We have witnessed the worst mass shooting in American history. When
Omar Mateen killed 50 people in a nightclub in Orlando, the anger, the fear
and the remorse resounded throughout our country. At the news, a common
reaction was "not again". The horrific number of victims has led people to
believe that there is a rise or even an epidemic of mass shootings.
2pm ET
Presenter:
But is this the case? Is it getting worse? On August 16th, we will offer a live,
free presentation on the definition(s) of mass shootings and look at a handful
of recent studies and databases that track this phenomenon. The studies vary
in what they consider a mass shooting and where they obtain their data.
The truth is that one victim dying from violence is too many. However, before
we begin blaming (guns, mental health, Islam, etc), let's get a look at the stats.

Lt Millinder,
See below, Elizabethtown won’t take any County people in August group so we’ll need to redo schedules
Please notify CO Gettig and McMinn that they will be moved to class starting 10/11 and CO Burns to class starting 11/21
with my apologies.
Also, now we will have to do OC in September to get it out of the way. Will you check with CO Zimmerman on his
availability for that month so we can get all three shifts done?
I know he only wants to do 2 hours of OC, but he’ll still need two non‐consecutive nights on each shift to make that
work.

Luzerne County District Attorney warns of
new deadly drug causing overdoses in
Pennsylvania

Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis has issued an alert warning of a drug that is causing an
“overwhelming number” of overdoses in close proximity to Western Pennsylvania.
1
This drug — carfentanil — is a synthetic opiod that has a clinical potency 10,000 times higher than morphine
or pure heroin and 100 times higher than fentanyl based on information from the state Department of Health,
the warning said.
Carfentanil is used to sedate bears, elephants and other large animals and has been mixed into some heroin in
Ohio and other states by dealers trying to make their product more powerful, according to multiple news
reports.
First responders and others handling the drug should use caution and utilize appropriate personal protective
equipment because the drug can be absorbed through the skin, the alert said.
“As a result, carfentanil could pose a grave danger to law enforcement and other first responders encountering
the drug in an emergency medical situation,” the alert said.
Salavantis, who issued the warning along with the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association
and state healthdepartment, said 20 of the approximately 200 overdoses near Western Pennsylvania were fatal.
The following are signs and symptoms of exposure of carfentanil, which are similar to those of opioid toxicity,
the alert said:
• Pinpoint pupils
• Shallow or stopped breathing
• Dizziness, lethargy, sedation or loss of consciousness
• Nausea and vomiting
• A weak or no pulse and cold and clammy skin stemming from cardiovascular failure
Death may occur quickly from a lack of oxygen and the onset of cardiac arrest, the alert said.
Due to the potency of carfentanil, more than one dose of the antidote Narcan may be necessary, the alert said.
Also known as naloxone, the antidote is used to reverse the effects of heroin.
“Although we have not seen a case in our region, at least that we are aware of, it is important to be proactive
and informed in the event this drug makes its way across the state,” Salavantis said, asking police and
emergency responders to immediately contact her office if they detect the drug here.
County Coroner William Lisman said carfentanil has not been detected in any local drug-related deaths to date.
He supports public warnings and issued his own in May after at least 10 county residents died this year from
heroin mixed with a powerful new synthetic substance called furanyl fentanyl.
Concocted in Chinese labs, this designer derivative of the pain medication fentanyl is significantly more
powerful than heroin, Lisman has said.
2
Drug experts across the country have theorized dealers are turning to furanyl fentanyl and other fillers because
they can’t meet the high demand for pure heroin or because they want to make their products stand out amid
competition.
A record number of county residents — 95 — died from drug overdoses last year, with about half involving
heroin, Lisman said.
He expects the county will surpass that number in 2016 because his office has identified 77 drug-related deaths
this year to date.

8 Home Cures for Mosquito Bite Itch
By Sharon Tanenbaum
When it comes to enjoying the great outdoors, mosquito bites seem to be an unavoidable evil. While
bees and wasps inject venom when they sting, mosquitoes simply bite to feed on your blood. The
bumps and itchiness that follow come from an anticoagulant that the mosquito injects to prevent your
blood from clotting, which triggers a mild allergic reaction that includes the typical round, red
bumps. For immediate relief, try an antihistamine cream or stick to help the itch and swelling. Don’t
have any in stock? Hit the kitchen, and hold a refrigerated, dampened green tea bag on the bite,
recommends skin expert Jessica Wu, MD. The cold helps soothe the itch and compounds in the tea
help with inflammation.” Another option: Take a soak in a soothing oatmeal bath.
For more creative ways to cope with bug bites, we asked Everyday Health Facebook fans for their
out-of-the-medicine cabinet ideas, then vetted them with Dr. Wu. Try one next
time…
Sticky Solution
Dr. Wu says: “Putting Scotch tape (or a bandage) on the bite will help remind you not to scratch,
especially at night. If you scratch too hard, you could break the skin and introduce an infection.”
4
Ever-Popular Aloe Vera
Dr. Wu says: “Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties, so this could help the itch. For even more relief,
stash your aloe vera gel in the fridge, since the cold will also help with the itchiness.”
Try Preparation H
Dr. Wu says: “This topical treatment can help reduce inflammation and may help with itching.”
Alcohol, Witch Hazel, and Hand Sanitizer — Oh My!
Dr. Wu says: “Rubbing alcohol, witch hazel, and tea tree oil have antiseptic properties, so they could
help prevent bites from getting infected. And their stinging sensation helps distract you from the itch.
Hand sanitizers with alcohol will act in the same way.”
X Marks the Spot
Dr. Wu says: “Pressing down on a bite — and causing some pain — helps distract from the itching. But don’t
press too hard, since breaking the skin could lead to infection.”
5
Soothing Basil
“I just learned that if I rub a basil leaf on my mosquito bites, it stops itching. I wish I had known this
when my daughter was little because I am amazed how much this works.” — Debora Ann Miller
Dr. Wu says: “Basil has been shown to repel mosquitoes. It does have anti-inflammatory properties,
which could help the swelling.”
Try an Aspirin Paste
“For stings, I use crushed aspirin mixed with a smidge of water to make a paste that I dab right on. It
takes the sting right away.” — Kris Ruff Brock
Dr. Wu says: “Aspirin contains acetyl salicylic acid, which is anti-inflammatory. It doesn’t hurt to try.”
Listerine
Dr. Wu says: “It has menthol, which cools the skin to help relieve itch.”

.the above date I received a phone call from C0 Keiser stating that she told Inmate Brobst was
working out as a hallway worker anymore. She stated to me that the past few days she noticed weird
behaviors by Inmate Brobst like taking her time cleaning the hallway leading down to work release
and trying to look into the door windows near the kitchen when the male inmates are in there
working. It was reported to me that Inmate Brobst has been warned about this more than once.
I was also informed that Inmate Brobst was making comments to about other Of?cers. Inmate Brobst
apparently stated that she wanted to take CO McMinn out on a date when she gets out of jail. It was
. also rumored that she is trying to communicate with a male inmate that works in the kitchen on third
shift. She was told if she made remarks like this to an of?cer again or was caught lounging around
- the kitchen area while cleaning, she would receive a misconduct for it. When I heard this information
I I placed Inmate Brobst on investigation status until I could look into it further.
f} Once Inmate Brobst was placed on investigative status and CO Addleman was doing her property, CO
Addleman found notes that seemed like she was communicating with a male inmate down in work
release. CO Addleman told me the handwriting looked like Inmate Port, Marcus?s handwriting. I then
had Inmate Port put on investigative status as well until I looked into the notes that were collected.
- Once I collected the notes and looked into them further, I found that the one note had an address on
. it. The address actually came to being Inmate Port, Marcus?s that is in End of report.
Inmates were placed on Investigative status, forwarded to administration.

On the above date and approximate time, CO Addleman was doing property on a female Inmate who
was placed on investigative status and come across some notes while inventorying the female inmate?s
property (Brobst Nicole 16-0732). The notes were confiscated by me and upon reading them it was
clear that Inmate Brobst was communicating with a male inmate. CO Addleman told me that the one
note that was wrote to Inmate Brobst looked like Inmate Ports handwriting and stuff that he wrote in the
note linked him to the person writing it such as what his age was and the fact that he had two sons.
Inmate Port was placed on investigation status until I looked into the incident further. Once I gathered
up all the notes, I read another one that was wrote to Inmate Brobst and it had the person writing it
address in the note. I looked up Inmate Ports address and the addresses matched. Therefore Inmate
Port and Inmate Brobst were indeed writing notes and communicating with each other(125).

Mandated Reporter Training
Classes in session, register now!
Recent changes to our Child Protective Services Law are complex: mandated
reporters now have new responsibilities and procedures to follow when
reporting suspected child abuse, in addition to facing increased penalties for
failing to report suspected child abuse. Plus - some volunteers are now
considered mandated reporters.
Are you 100% sure your organization - administrators, professional staff,
hourly workers and volunteers - is equipped to recognize and report child
abuse?
We are here to help you! Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance (PFSA) is the
recognized leader in Pennsylvania for mandated reporter training. We have
been training and supporting mandated reporters for more than 20 years - we
developed the first state-approved curriculum to train mandated reporters in
how to recognize and report child abuse. The program we offer today is the
most accurate, thorough and respected mandated reporter training in the
state. PFSA’s curriculum is approved for Act 48 credits. This training
meets requirements under Act 126 (Recognizing and Reporting Child
1
Abuse requirement) and Act 31 for required training of mandated
reporters, including continuing education for health-related licenses
under the Department of State.
"Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse" is a three-hour session that is
available to you AT NO CHARGE. You choose the date, time and location and
we provide expert training and all of the associated printed materials for you to
keep. We can provide multiple sessions on your chosen date or on several
dates - whatever works best for your team.
Make sure you have the most informed, confident staff possible when they
suspect child abuse.

WHAT PARENTS CAN DO
TO PREVENT SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN
You need only look at the news to see the numerous cases of child
sexual abuse, many that have involved dozens - or hundreds - of
2
children over years. Often these cases involve an adult who is trusted
by both the child and his/her family. It's hard to believe that someone
you think of as a positive influence in your child's life is in reality a
perpetrator of abuse.
Our website lists some talking points for parents - ways to discuss sexual
abuse with children - as well as positive parenting strategies to make sure you
are aware of what's going on in your child's life. We also list some warning
signs that an adult may be "grooming" your child for abuse.
It's not an easy thing to think about or talk about, but sexual abuse continues
when adults are silent.
How you can prevent sexual abuse
We all play a role in protecting children from abuse.
Your support changes the lives of children in PA.

Correctional Facility Education, Drug and Alcohol, and Mental Health Services
The CCCF provides GED classes in two dedicated classrooms located near inmate housing
units, and these classes are available to all eligible inmates. Inmates who meet criteria may
be eligible to receive credit for each class attended. Additionally, inmates who pass the
GED test may be given credit toward remaining time on their minimum sentences.
A variety of re-entry services are available to inmates. These include the P.R.I.D.E.
(Personal Responsibility and Intensive Drug and alcohol Education) and Choices programs
which provide a structured environment for inmates who are willing to take responsibility for
their actions and make a conscious effort to learn healthier ways to live. It is designed to
teach inmates to hold themselves accountable, develop a sense of pride and self-respect
and increase drug and alcohol awareness. PRIDE is for the male population and Choices is
for the female population. These Re-Entry programs provide a weekly schedule of
drug/alcohol education, as well as life skills and job skills to assist offenders in overcoming
their substance abuse problems, challenge unhealthy thinking patterns and prepare for reentry into society. Classes include Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD), Back on Track, Job
Skills, Work Keys, Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Education, Parenting, Alcoholics
Anonymous, Celebrate Recovery, Life Recovery and Nutrition Links.
Inmates are considered for the Re-Entry programs on an individual basis. The courts and
probation often require the inmates to participate. The prison classification system is also
used as an initial tool in identifying a need for the Re-Entry Program. The program is a
minimum of 11 weeks in length, but could be longer based on the inmate’s level of
participation and progress. The inmate’s progress is monitored while in the program and at
the time of release, aftercare plans are established.
In addition to the PRIDE and Choices programs, there are a variety of programs offered to
the entire population at the CCCF. These include, Creative Writing, “Change-Where Do I
Go From Here?”, Nutrition Links, Alcoholics Anonymous, Celebrate Recovery, Life
Recovery and Work Keys.
The CCCF offers a Drug And Alcohol Education Group for DUI Court participants serving
the work release portion of their RIP Sentences. This program consists of two weekly, 2
hour groups held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and is facilitated by a certified
counselor from Crossroads Counseling, a contracted county provider. The programming in
this group is specifically geared to DUI Court participants. Crossroads Counseling also
provides weekly Drug and Alcohol classes for any inmates who meet their criteria.
The CCCF has a Forensic Mental Health Case Manager on site who meets with inmates
who have been identified as having mental health issues through the inmate classification
process, or inmates who are active cases with the MH/ID/ Office. Inmates can also selfrefer. The Case Manager conducts an intake interview and initial assessment, and
schedules psychiatric evaluations as needed.
Individual Outpatient Mental Health
Counseling is provided by a certified counselor from the Penn State Psychological Clinic,
and male and female Mental Health Group Counseling Sessions are also provided by a
certified clinician from Crossroads Counseling. In addition, a Mental Health Clinician is
available for consultations and assessments through a contracted provider.
The CCCF is a partner in the Crisis Intervention Team Project, and to date, 32 staff
members from the facility completed the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training and
received their CIT Certification, with eighteen of those personnel still working at the facility.
The CIT Training provided these staff members with the tools to better respond to inmates
who are experiencing mental health or behavioral crises while incarcerated, thereby
reducing the likelihood of confrontations and the risk of injury to both staff and inmates.
Additionally, those who received their CIT Certification have been able to provide a
condensed version of the CIT training they received to other personnel at the CCCF,
thereby enhancing the overall response of the facility to inmates in crisis.
Inmate Volunteer Work Programs
Eligible Centre County inmates can participate in one of two regular volunteer work program
sites available off site through the county correctional facility. These are CentrePeace and
the Inmate Volunteer Maintenance Work Program.
CentrePeace, a local non-profit organization which is located close to the county
correctional facility, has served as an approved volunteer work release site for both
sentenced, non-violent, work release-eligible inmates for many years. Both male and
female inmates are eligible for this program. In 2015, a total of 39 county inmates
performed volunteer work at CentrePeace and donated a total of 9,668 hours of service to
that organization. Inmates referred to CentrePeace worked on a variety of projects
including furniture and appliance repair / restoration, thereby giving them experiences that
may help them in the employment market upon their release.
Centre County sentenced inmates are also eligible to participate in the volunteer
maintenance work program. In this program inmates work under the direction of county
maintenance staff on a variety of projects at county owned properties including office
renovations, painting, drywall installation, mowing, and the washing of county vehicles.
During 2015, a total of 19 inmates participated in this program and performed 5,471 hours
of service.
In addition, approved inmates perform a variety of work at the correctional facility. Under
the supervision of correctional staff inmates work in the kitchen and laundry, and perform
routine cleaning of the facility. Inmates manage and maintain the facility garden, lawn care,
landscaping and snow removal, as well as, special work assignments as approved by the
Warden.
Early Release Program
The Early Release Program can reward eligible inmates of the Centre County Correctional
Facility with an early release from their minimum sentence. During their period of
incarceration, inmates will have the opportunity to demonstrate personal initiative and
personal progress in rehabilitation programs. The Early Release Program is a voluntary
program. Requirements for entry are posted in each housing unit. Applications can be
obtained by writing the counselor. No inmate has the right to demand or require admission
into the program. The Court has the authority to exclude any inmate from the program or
deny the request for earned time approval.

Kay,
We have an inmate in Montour County that is not allowed to come to SCI Coal due to separation he has with other
inmates. He is causing problems in Montour(see attached).
Is there any way you can house him for us? Let me know and I can set it up for our team can bring him tomorrow when
they return with Linkchorst.
Thank you
Lois

Subject: prison presentation
Hi Denise!!!
Hey I have a couple of questions about my presentation on Sept. 8. If you could help me out.
How many prisoners do we have both men and women in Centre County?
Do you have a re-entry program currently? Can you describe what it addresses?
Do the prisoners now have any programs for drug addiction, etc.?
Is there a "counselor" or clergy service for personal issues?
What is the common name used when talking about the prisoners? inmates? incarcerated? etc.?
Also, is there anyone I could or should talk to about presenting this program prior to who could provide appropriate details?
How long is appropriate for the length of my talk? And, do you think I should have a specific plan for the curriculum length? Like a 6 week
program, or a 13 week program?
And finally, who will be in my audience, roughly, like titles?
Thanks so much Denise. If you have time to answer, I know you are so busy.
Let me know .
Best,
Elle

Wellness Tip August 10, 2016
5 Reasons Taking A Break From Booze Could Transform Your Summer
by Corinne Keating (adapted)
Whether it's cocktails by the pool or beer and barbecue, one thing is for sure: Summer comes with lots of
drinks. We're already halfway through the warmer months, but it isn't too late to make these remaining
months the best they can be. Why not try it?
There's so much you can do and discover without a drink in hand. Everything from outdoor sports and
concerts to afternoons spent window‐shopping in the city will all be clearer and leave you with memories
unimpeded by the haze of alcohol.
Of course, there's more than just nostalgia at play here—your health will improve in so many ways if you
take a break from booze. If you're thinking about making the switch this sunny season, here are five more
health‐related benefits that might sway you in the right direction.
1. It'll clear your conscience.
It's true that alcohol works as a social ice breaker and gives you the confidence to say and do what you
really feel in the moment. Unfortunately, some of these impulses won't go over well when replayed with a
clear mind the next day. And this type of mental strain can cause you to feel bad about yourself—often a
side effect of drinking.
In order to give yourself peace of mind in social settings this summer, say no to booze. If you feel
pressured or uncomfortable around people who are drinking, try whipping up a mocktail to enjoy with
everyone.
2. You'll trim down.
Here's a visible side effect of an alcohol‐free lifestyle: fat loss. When you drink a lot, your body is flooded
with calories and sugar that it doesn't need, and that combination causes alcohol to be stored as fat.
Without a regular influx of alcohol calories, your belly fat will start to burn away.
3. You'll sleep better.
The idea of the "nightcap" is a bit misleading since alcohol has been shown to have a negative effect on
the quality of your sleep: While it may help you doze off faster, it lessens the amount of time spent in
REM—the most restful type of sleep. Without alcohol on your summer agenda, you'll be sleeping more
soundly and for longer and, therefore, reaping the many benefits of a good night's rest.
4. Your liver will rejuvenate itself.

When you drink, your liver diverts its attention from its other tasks in order to filter the alcohol out of your
bloodstream. When you take alcohol out of the equation, you give your liver the opportunity to do what
it’s supposed to do—and to do it well.
In fact, researchers found that regular drinkers who abstained for five weeks had 15 percent less liver fat
than they did when they started the study. (Liver fat is one of the precursors to liver damage.)
5. You'll shrink your budget concerns.
Summer requires you to be social, which means you'll be out and about, which means you'll be spending
money. Typical adults with jobs and budgets find this to be a stressor, especially if alcohol is eating away at
your budget.
Whether you go cold turkey or slowly ascend to a new habit—a tactic that's been found to be better for
your health, if you're a big‐time drinker—you'll find lots more money in your pockets. And with a bit of
extra wiggle room, you're likely to be much less stressed about your summertime budget and beyond.
Summertime seems to call for everyone to lift and clink glasses in celebration of the year's hottest season.
However, with a few drink‐free outings under your belt, you'll realize that the benefits of a booze‐free
lifestyle far outweigh the positives you thought you saw before.

I Person Making Report
I I Report
On the above date and approximate time, James Schreffler was brought into Central Booking by
Trooper Clark of the State Police, Rockview. He had a Criminal Complaint and needed
to be processed and arraigned before a District Magistrate. Mr. Schreffler also had a strong odor of
alcohol about him.
After the Troopers left and I started the booking process, Mr. Schreffler told me his son was here
and asked ifI knew him, Josh Schreffler. I told him that I knew who he is. Mr. Schreffler then
proceeded to tell me that he wrecked his truck on purpose. He said that he saw the cops and knew
that was his opportunity to get in here. He went on to say that he was tired of all of the drug dealers
and they are the reason that his son is in here. He said he knew of at least 3 that are here that he
wants to ?get?.
At approximated 21:50, after Mr. Schreffler was arraigned and committed to the jail, I asked him if
he remembered what he told me earlier. He said that he did but that he wasn?t going to do anything
here. He's just angry about all of the drug deaths in Centre County.

the above dates and approximate times I started noticing odd behavior from inmate Brobst, Nicole
16-0732 like lingering in the staff dining hallway, watching in the kitchen doorways and waiting for
male inmates to come out with their lunches. On 8/9/16 I was in central control and had to tell her to
i leave the hallway and go to the break area because she was standing and staring in the door to the
kitchen. She moved and this morning she was placed on investigative status for making statements to
a CO.

Inmate
was placed on investigative status for harassment by words, actions, or behavior. It was reported
to me right before 0400 hr headcount that Inmate Brobst has been trying to communicate with some of the male
kitchen workers that work nights and saying that she wants to go on dates with them and it was reported to me that she
told CO McMinn that she wanted to take him on a date to red lobster when she gets out of jail. She was currently a night
hallway cleaner. She is currently housed out in intake due to no room in the B2 housing unit.

Mentions Corrections Secretary Wetzel

Panelists: Start early for real criminal justice reform
By Ryanne Persinger
Philadelphia leaders acknowledge that the city’s 26 percent poverty rate is a major factor in local crime and
incarceration.
Impoverishment aligns itself with violence, crime, drug abuse, dysfunctional families, loss and hopelessness, Philadelphia
Mayor Jim Kenney told a room full of attendees wrapping up breakfast at the National Forum on Criminal Justice at the
Loews Philadelphia Hotel Monday morning.
“We have basically two cities here,” Kenney said. “One is the city of power cranes that are popping up all over the
skyline; people are doing well, millennials are moving in, and immigrants are moving in. Then we have folks who have
been living in neighborhoods for generations who are hopeless.”
For that reason, Kenney said, it’s important to invest in quality universal pre‐K, community schools, parks and recreation
centers, and libraries, stressing to people that they’re not forgotten.
Kenney provided the remarks during a panel discussion on criminal justice, which also included Philadelphia District
Attorney R. Seth Williams and the state’s Secretary of Corrections John Wetzel as participants. Montgomery County
Commissioner Josh Shapiro, the Democratic candidate for state attorney general against Montgomery County
Republican John Rafferty, served as moderator.
“We need to take people out of the criminal justice pipeline, by not having some 20‐year‐old locked up because he has
two joints in his pocket and winds up with a criminal record that he carries on his back trying to get a job for the next 20
years,” Kenney added. “It costs money and it doesn’t solve anyone’s problems, and it continues to exacerbate the rate
of poverty that we face and that we need to change.”
Williams agreed and stressed the importance of reducing recidivism, the motivation behind implementing The Choice is
Yours program, mirrored after San Francisco’s Back on Track initiative started by then‐San Francisco District Attorney
Kamala Harris — now California’s Attorney General.
“In California, like Pennsylvania, I could send someone to jail for mandatory one‐to‐two years for selling two grams of
crack, two sugar packets worth of crack, and the majority of these people don’t have high school degrees,” Williams
said. “They’re going to go to state prison to get a Ph.D. in thuggery and come home with a felony conviction, which is an
economic death sentence. And we’re spending about $36,000 to $40,000 to incarcerate them with about a 63 percent
recidivism rate.”
4
The Choice is Yours program, for offenders age 18 to 29, gives participants a chance to expunge their record if they
attend a yearlong program through Jewish Employment and Vocational Services (JEVS). Williams said the program
resulted in an 8 percent recidivism rate and only costs about $4,000 per person.
“We recognize that to prevent crime, we have to address addiction and give people the treatment that they need,”
Williams said. “We have to reduce truancy, we have to improve schools for all. We have to have high‐quality early
childhood education, we have to have more jobs. We know these things, and we have to have the political will to
implement them.”
Wetzel, who was first elected secretary of corrections by then Governor‐elect Tom Corbett in 2010, said the 63 percent
recidivism rate in the Commonwealth is defined as rearrest and reincarceration.
“When you look at who’s in our prisons, you can’t make any other argument other than we have a large population of
mentally ill individuals,” he said. “We have an even larger population of addicted individuals, and it’s racially disparate,”
Wetzel said. “My fear is that we’re not going to get it right, and by not getting it right we’re not going to take data and
research and let that drive policy [to fix the system]. We’re going to try to fix the system built on anecdotes.”
When you put the wrong people in prison, Wetzel said, then they are more likely to commit a crime once released.
“Historically on criminal justice, our system is predicated on justice service,” Wetzel added in reference to the PA Justice
Reinvestment Experience, which is aimed at correction spending and improving public safety. “We don’t care what the
outcome is.
It’s really about retribution. That’s not smart, and it’s not going to get us what we need. What we need is people coming
out of prison, coming out of jail and less likely to commit a crime. And more importantly, more likely to be successful
citizens.”
The conference concludes Wednesday and brings together practitioners and decision‐makers in state, local and tribal
communities to address public safety issues. The Forum was sponsored by the National Criminal Justice Association, the
Justice Research and Statistics Association and IJIS Institute, originally founded as the Integrated Justice Information
Systems Institute.

The retrial of Msg. William Lynn begins to take form
By Joseph A. Slobodzian
Msgr. William J. Lynn returned to a Philadelphia courtroom Thursday, four years older and a lot thinner than when he
left to serve three to six years in prison for his conviction in the Catholic Church clergy sex abuse scandal.
Two Pennsylvania appeals courts have erased Lynn's child endangerment conviction, although they are powerless to
give back 33 months in prison.
But for the 65‐year‐old former secretary for clergy ‐ the first Catholic Church official in the nation convicted for the way
he supervised pedophile priests ‐ freedom on $250,000 bail is the only clearing in a legal cloud that has shadowed him
since 2002.
Still ahead, on May 1, is another public trial in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court, on a charge of child endangerment,
and the potential of another conviction and return to custody.
After Lynn was released Tuesday, defense lawyer Thomas A. Bergstrom criticized District Attorney Seth Williams for
revisiting the case against Lynn.
Bergstrom called the case against Lynn "over the top, inaccurate and dishonest" and said Williams was "just hell‐bent on
trying this case. . . . For some reason, he continues to want to beat up on this guy."
"He's done 33 months along with 18 months' house arrest for something the Superior Court has now ruled was an unfair
trial," Bergstrom said.
Bergstrom has argued that Lynn, who was secretary for clergy from 1992 to 2004, was made a scapegoat for the church.
In his first trial, Lynn testified that he was responsible for investigating allegations against priests and recommending
action, but that the final decision was the archbishop's for him to carry out.
5
Still, Lynn's pivotal position in the church hierarchy was important enough that the archdiocese has funded his defense
from his first appearance before a grand jury in 2004, through a second grand jury, trial and two rounds of appeals to
the Supreme Court to the present.
Williams, in an interview last week after Lynn's release, said he has no doubts about retrying Lynn. Williams said that in
his role as secretary for clergy Lynn "helped create a playbook for handling someone who alleges that an archdiocesan
priest is a pedophile."
Williams said the Superior Court's criticism of the 2012 trial was about the volume of historical cases, not the quality of
the evidence against Lynn.
"I think we had sufficient evidence at the first trial for him to be found guilty by a jury beyond a reasonable doubt,"
Williams said. "I wouldn't bring this case if I didn't feel I could prove him guilty."
The Superior Court ruled that the volume of historical cases ‐ two dozen dating to 1940 detailing how the Archdiocese of
Philadelphia handled allegations of child sexual abuse by priests ‐ was overkill.
Prosecutors argued that the historical cases were needed for the jury to understand how Lynn was a member of a deep‐
seated church culture of ignoring victims and covering up for deviant priests.
But the Superior Court panel, in a 2‐1 decision, called the volume of case files too much and said they tainted the jury's
ability to fairly reach a verdict.
So what will Lynn's second trial look like?
It will likely be shorter than the 2012 trial, which had 13 weeks of testimony followed by 121/2 days of deliberations by
the jury. The in‐court review of the historical cases consumed much of the trial.
"We could try this case in a week without them," Bergstrom said, referring to the old cases from the archdiocese's
"Secret Archives." Assistant District Attorney Brian Zarallo told Common Pleas Court Judge Gwendolyn N. Bright at a
scheduling hearing Thursday that the Superior Court did not prevent prosecutors from using some historical cases.
"We have to decide which cases will be litigated," said Zarallo.
Zarallo speculated that the retrial would last about three to four weeks.
It is also more likely that the retrial will focus more on a single, problematic allegation of child sexual abuse.
Lynn was accused of child endangerment for allowing the Rev. Edward V. Avery, who had a history of sexually abusing
children, to live in the rectory of St. Jerome Catholic Church in Northeast Philadelphia. There, Avery was accused of
assaulting a 10‐year‐old altar boy in 1999.
According to the 2011 grand jury report, the boy ‐ identified in court by the pseudonym "Billy Doe" ‐ was molested by
Avery, the late Rev. Charles Engelhardt, and parochial school teacher Bernard Shero during the 1998‐99 school years.
In March 2012, Avery pleaded guilty to the charges involving the boy and was sentenced to 21/2 to 5 years in prison.
He's still there, at age 73, in the Laurel Highlands state prison in Western Pennsylvania.
But in January 2013, called as a witness at Engelhardt's and Shero's trial, Avery recanted his guilty plea. He said he didn't
know his accuser, Engelhardt or Shero and pleaded guilty only to escape a longer prison term.
The accuser of the three men testified at both trials.
In Lynn's trials, Bergstrom did not question the man, perhaps because he was warned by Common Pleas Court Judge M.
Teresa Sarmina that he could force her to tell the jury about Avery's guilty plea on the eve of the trial.
At Engelhardt's and Shero's trial, the accuser was aggressively questioned by defense lawyers, who hammered his
history of drug use, lies and crime and discrepancies between his initial statements to police and church investigators
and his trial testimony.
The accuser, now 28, maintained that his drug and emotional problems were the result of being molested. He denied
that he was trying, as the defense claimed, to "score a payday" suing the archdiocese.
All three were found guilty. Englehardt died in prison in 2014 at age 67, still appealing his conviction and his six‐ to 12‐
year prison sentence. Shero, 53, is serving eight to 16 years in the state prison at Houtzdale.
In Lynn's retrial, prosecutors will have to decide what to do about Avery and revelations about his accuser since the man
testified in 2012 and 2013.
Bergstrom said he now has reports from investigators and forensic psychiatrists ‐ not available to him at Lynn's trial ‐
who concluded that the accuser's allegations of abuse were not believable.
Bergstrom said he will also be able to question the accuser about the terms of the confidential settlement of his lawsuit
against the archdiocese that was reached last summer.

Jail officials, doctors divided on care of opioid‐addicted inmates
By Maia Silber
First came the vomiting. For days, Crystal Lynn Rathbun heaved everything in her guts, until she felt like her body had
been drained.
Then came the insomnia. Nearly a month passed before she could stay asleep in her cell for more than four or five hours
a night. She felt cold all the time, even though she wore two sweatshirts, two jumpsuits, two sets of underwear.
Correctional facilities such as Allegheny County Jail, where Ms. Rathbun awaited trial on heroin possession and child
endangerment charges, are on the front lines of the nation’s addiction epidemic. Most of the 1.5 million incarcerated
Americans who abuse alcohol or drugs undergo cold‐turkey detox behind bars. For opioid users, it’s a horrible
experience, but one that often fails to deter them from using again on the outside.
Today, Ms. Rathbun is clean, enrolled in a recovery program, and trying to spend more time with her four children. She’s
lucky: Many who detox in jail relapse, and sometimes overdose, upon their release, or else end up behind bars again. As
jail officials struggle to care for the men and women shaking and shivering in their cells, they remain divided about how
to keep them clean ‐‐ and alive‐‐ once they leave.
Research has shown that maintenance treatments like methadone and buprenorphine reduce relapse and overdose.
Because these drugs are opioids themselves, though, many jails are reluctant to provide them to anyone except
pregnant women, who can miscarry during withdrawal. Fewer than 40 correctional facilities nationwide offer such
drugs, according to a Pew Stateline study.
No county jails in southwestern Pennsylvania offer medication‐assisted treatment to inmates suffering from opioid
withdrawal. In interviews, some wardens cited the cost and security risks associated with maintenance treatments as
barriers. Others expressed their aversion to the drugs.
“I’m not going to bring those drugs into the facility,” said Warden Brian S. Miller of Fayette County. “If you were a
gambler and you were in the casino every day of the week… and I locked you in a room and gave you scratch‐off tickets,
how’s that helping?”
Patients, not criminals
Warden Edward E. Strawn has worked at Washington County Jail for over two decades. “Twenty‐five years ago, I dealt
with criminals,” he said. “Today, I deal with patients.”
He described addiction as a “burden” on jails as well as society, diverting resources and attention he thinks would be
better spent on violent perpetrators.
Officials at Armstrong and Fayette counties estimated that as many as four out of five of their inmates go through some
sort of withdrawal.
“It seems like almost everyone who comes in is detoxing from something,” Acting Warden Michael Kraus of Greene
County said.
Like Mr. Strawn, Louis Gaston, a physician at Armstrong County Jail, has worked in the same facility for more than two
decades. He too has noted the spread of opioid addiction. “It’s overloading the system,” he said. In 2015, Armstrong had
a higher per capita overdose death rate than any other Pennsylvania county except Philadelphia.
Not only do opioid users often wind up in jail, they are often incarcerated multiple times. According to the National
Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, inmates who were under the influence of drugs or
alcohol at the time of their arrests had been arrested an average of 5.9 times before.
“It’s a revolving door,” said Jennifer Passarelli, the deputy warden of security/treatment at Butler County Prison.
“They’re Gonna be Sick”
At county jails across Southwestern Pennsylvania, the process of identifying and treating people like Ms. Rathbun begins
at intake, where correctional officers administer drug tests and monitor inmates for signs of withdrawal — shaking,
sweating, or drifting off in the middle of a conversation. Usually, guards do not have to wait for such signs.
Opioid users “are honest with you,” Mr. Strawn said. “They know they’re gonna be sick.”
7
Withdrawal looks and feels a little like a severe case of the flu, many say. “It’s hard to watch,” said Destiny Salsgivers, a
nurse at Armstrong County Jail. “It’s uncontrollable.”
Inmate deaths from opioid withdrawal ‐‐ alcohol withdrawal is far more dangerous ‐‐ are rare, but since 2015, there
have been at least four high‐profile cases nationwide.
Especially because detox increases the risk of suicide, most jails either house detoxin ing inmates in direct observation
areas or check on them at regular intervals. Some counties, such as Armstrong, are creating observation units with glass
doors, so guards can watch inmates with substance abuse issues around the clock.
Armstrong and Indiana have also piloted programs through which departing inmates get Vivitrol, a drug that prevents
them from craving opioids for 30 days, if they agree to seek treatment upon their release.
"I don’t think we have good evidence [the Vivitrol is] going to work,” said Dr. Kevin Fiscella, an addiction specialist at the
University of Rochester. He cited a New England Journal of Medicine study that found that adult criminal offenders who
used naltrexone (the generic name for Vivitrol) were less likely to relapse during treatment, but might still falter
afterwards. More research, he said, would be needed to support the drug’s use.
Even officials at jails that have expended special effort to connect inmates with treatment programs on the outside find
that many users wind up back behind bars ‐‐ or worse.
Laura Williams, the Director of Substance Abuse Programs at Allegheny County Jail, says she often hears about the fate
of former inmates from those who return to jail. “They’ll say, “You know, so‐and‐so, they didn’t make it.’”
At a fact‐finding hearing at Allegheny County Courthouse on Tuesday, Dr. Latika Davis‐Jones of Allegheny’s Bureau of
Drug and Alcohol Services said that county overdose data has shown that many died of overdose within 30 days of jail
release.
Breathing Room
The state prison system will develop a plan to keep inmates on prescribed maintenance drugs, according to Secretary of
Corrections John Wetzel. A review of 14 studies of buprenorphine and methadone use in jails and prisons found lower
rates of relapse associated with those treatments.
In southwestern Pennsylvania, though, jail officials cited both practical and philosophical concerns about such drugs
Medication assisted treatments, like other programs to support inmates Jail officials, doctors divided on care of opioid‐
addicted inmates
Warden Phillip Shaffer of Armstrong County believes that the decision to use methadone or buprenorphine is a personal
one, but he does not think that it’s necessary for jails to provide such drugs.
“We just do what’s absolutely necessary, because it’s taxpayers’ money,” he said.
According to Todd Haskins, the vice president of operations at PrimeCare, a medical provider for several Pennsylvania
correctional facilities, a monthly supply of buprenorphine brands Subutex and Suboxone for one person would cost
about $80 to $100 a month, not much more than many other prescription medications. From the jail’s perspective, of
course, that’s still an additional cost.
Still, the National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates a savings of over $12 in reduced substance‐related crime, criminal
justice, and health care costs for every dollar spent on treatment.
Other jail officials cited security concerns. “We try to avoid any type of addictive narcotic,” Warden Strawn of
Washington County said. “It’s usually not good for people to know we’ve got that stuff locked up in here.”
Some wardens expressed skepticism about drugs such as methadone and buprenorphine. “While [users] are here, they
have the best chance of getting clean,” said Warden Bill Schouppe of Beaver. “If they’re here for an extended period of
time, you have a better chance of putting them through a treatment program without any issues.”
Some experts think detox in jail doesn't address addiction. “The idea that a punishing withdrawal is going to discourage
use is naive and is not supported by any data we have over the last 50 years,” said Dr. Fiscella.
“The whole idea of detox is a flawed one,” said Dr. Josiah D. Rich, a professor at Brown University and the director of the
Center for Prisoner Health and Human Rights. The idea that jails “just stop you from taking this medication for a period
of time and then put you back into your same environment and expect you to be cured, is absurd."
Some though, think that these effects come at a cost. “To me, it’s just substituting one addiction for another,” said Ms.
Salsgiver of Armstrong County.
Dr. Rich offered a different perspective. “What these treatments do is allow people to have the breathing room to move
in the direction of recovery,” he said.

Allegheny County sheriff plans to ask for more manpower to track fugitives
By Liz Navratil / Pittsburgh Post‐Gazette
Allegheny County Sheriff William P. Mullen said Monday that he plans to ask for more manpower for his office, which is
tasked with tracking down local probation and parole violators.
He could meet some resistance from county council members — at least one of whom had additional questions about
the probation and parole violation process following a series that began running in the Pittsburgh Post‐Gazette this
weekend.
“Before I would be willing to commit to additional dollars to do that, I would want a complete reassessment of the
entire parole/probation violation process,” said Councilman Samuel DeMarco.
Mr. DeMarco said he has questions about how long the warrant approval process takes and how long it takes warrants
to get entered into a national database after they are approved. He said he plans to discuss the series with other
members of council's public safety committee and hopes there might be opportunities to study the issues further ‐‐
possibly with help from a local university.
Frank Scherer, director of Allegheny County Adult Probation and Parole, said he would be open to a review if council
requested it. He said warrants are typically approved quickly through an office that helps coordinate requests from
officers.
The officials' statements came a day after a Post‐Gazette series examining probation and parole agencies across the
country and the ways they track violators. In the paper's analysis of data from 17 among the country's largest counties,
Allegheny County was slower than all but five to arrest violators.
Sheriff Mullen said he's in budget talks now and the request for additional manpower “will be coming up soon.”
In some of the top‐performing places, such as Hennepin County, where Minneapolis is located, the probation office has
one person devoted to helping local agencies track down violators. She has access to dozens of local deputies who can
help with arrests, as well as officers in other departments.
Mr. Scherer said it “would be great” to get a similar officer in Allegheny County, although his office is already low on
officers to do the day‐to‐day meetings and check‐ins with probationers.
In Allegheny County, the local adult probation office relies on the sheriff's office to track people wanted on violation
warrants. The sheriff's office is also responsible for tracking down people who have skipped out on other cases and with
assisting other agencies. The sheriff's office, which estimates that there are between 10,000 and 20,000 open warrants,
has 12 deputies and three supervisors dedicated to finding fugitives. Those deputies often get pulled to help with other
tasks, such as guarding courtrooms.
“We've talked about it for a long time,” Sheriff Mullen said of the desire to increase their manpower. “We could use
more people, but can the county taxpayers afford it?”
Budget requests, including ones that would allow for more hiring, would go before Allegheny County Council members,
likely in the fall. Several council members contacted Monday said they were still researching the issues.
Mr. DeMarco said he would also like to learn more about whether changes in technology — possibly ones that send
automatic alerts about updates in cases — could help agencies track down people accused of violations. Sheriff Mullen
has said in the past that he has pushed for the creation of a county‐wide database that would allow agencies to share
more information. He said he's met resistance, though he has declined to say from whom.
Officials in Pima County, home to Tucson, Ariz., said they reviewed the Post‐Gazette series Monday. There, it took
officials about three months on average to catch a probation violator.
“I don't know that it would affect any practice that we have,” Ken McCulloch, director of field services for the adult
probation office, said of the series.
He noted that their office often issues warrants only when a probationer’s whereabouts are unknown and can arrest
people on spot without a warrant. Several other counties in the Post‐Gazette analysis also said they try to reserve
warrants for people whose whereabouts are unknown or who are especially dangerous.
Officials there have two pairs of probation officers dedicated to finding fugitives — one that works with federal
authorities and another that focuses on finding people being supervised for domestic violence cases.
“We could use more manpower,” Mr. McCulloch said. “I would like to have more officers, but whether or not that would
have a meaningful impact on fugitive warrants, I honestly can’t say.”

Escape charges withdrawn, refiled against Beaver County inmate
By Tony Raap
The Beaver County District Attorney's Office withdrew — then refiled — a felony escape charge Monday against an
inmate accused of bolting from her hospital bed in Pittsburgh.
The Beaver County Sheriff's Office charged Tyesha Jones, 24, with escape July 26.
“In past practice, our sheriff filed these escape charges,” Beaver County District Attorney David Lozier said. “But the case
law goes back and forth on whether the sheriff has the authority to file a charge like this.”
Jones was transferred from the Beaver County Jail in Hopewell to Heritage Valley Beaver hospital in Brighton for an
undisclosed medical condition. She was later taken to UPMC Presbyterian in Oakland.
Authorities say Jones, who was in jail on a probation violation, escaped from her hospital room and hailed a cab.
Deputies arrested her about two hours later in Beaver Falls when they say she didn't pay her cab fare.
Under state law, sheriff's deputies can file charges when they have a warrant in their hands or if they see a crime
occurring.
Because deputies didn't see Jones escape, Lozier was concerned that a conviction would be reversed on appeal.
Prosecutors decided to withdraw the escape charge and have a detective in the Beaver County District Attorney's Office
refile it.
“We're filing the same charge,” Lozier said. “It's just by a different originator.”

Protesters call for abolishing prison systems
By Felicia Gans
When Beatrice Codianni was released from the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn., in 2008, she left
behind a friend named Michelle West, who was convicted of drug conspiracy charges and serving two life sentences
without the possibility of parole.
West, like many women Codianni met behind bars, spent her days in prison taking classes, working an office job, and
writing to friends on the outside. She was a mild‐mannered mother who wouldn’t hurt anybody, said Codianni, 67, who
spent 15 years in Danbury for racketeering.
“I was lucky enough to get out, and I can’t turn my back and forget about the women I left behind,” Codianni said, sitting
inside the Old South Church on Sunday before marching in a protest calling for the abolition of prison systems.
“It makes no sense to just keep locking people up,” she added. “You’re not going to arrest away the drug problem.”
Codianni was one of more than 100 people who marched Sunday from Copley Square to Hynes Convention Center,
where the American Correctional Association is hosting its annual conference this week.
The message of the march: Imagine a world without prisons.
Jason Lydon, national director for Black and Pink, one of the groups that organized the march, said the protest was
intended to challenge the philosophy behind prisons.
“You can’t reform prisons because they’re not broken,” he said. “They’re working exactly as they intended them to.”
Organizers preached for community collaboration and freedom for all, contending that prisons harm inmates more than
help them.
In an e‐mailed statement on Sunday, correctional association president Mary L. Livers acknowledged the need for
improvement within the country’s prison systems and said its leaders have gathered this weekend with that specific goal
in mind. She emphasized that productive and safe correctional systems are among their top priorities.
10
“The American Correctional Association represents thousands of correctional professionals who work daily in our
prisons, jails, and community programs, and are dedicated to providing safety for our communities and the opportunity
for offenders to transform their lives,” she said. “We are in Boston to grow professionally and to better enhance our
ability to perform this vital mission.”
Many protesters, including 61‐year‐old Susan Ringler, said the American prison systems create and strengthen social and
economic racism within the country.
“We need to be less punitive and more [into] reforming,” said Ringler, a Cambridge resident. “We’re spending an
extraordinary amount of money just messing up people’s lives.”
The coalition of protesters — including the groups Black and Pink, the City School, Families for Justice as Healing, and the
Young Abolitionists — faulted the correctional association for putting “a veneer of credibility and professionalism on
rampant human rights abuses in prisons across the United States,” organizers wrote in a statement.
They cited the suicide of a 43‐year‐old man at Bridgewater State Hospital in April, a homicide at the same facility in
2009, and the videotaping of strip searches at Western Massachusetts Regional Women’s Correctional Center in
Chicopee. These incidents are local examples of human rights abuses the association has allowed across the country, the
organizers said.
Many protesters also said prison systems have failed in preparing inmates for returning to society after they have served
their sentences.
“Most people in the prisons will be coming out in the communities,” said Aida Fitzgerald, 35, a protester from Jamaica
Plain. “We have to give them more opportunities.”
Codianni, who was an advocate for prison reform even before spending time behind bars, said inmates are often treated
like numbers. Once that stigma changes, the whole system can change, she said.
“We’re making a little progress, but I’d like to see more,” she said. “You need to treat inmates as a human being, no
matter how despicable the crime may be.”

Missing Fugitives
By Liz Navarroti
Gerald Boyes Jr. missed two meetings with his parole officer.
It was his second time on parole for robbery in Florida. He’d been sent back to prison before because he kept getting
arrested. A warrant was issued.
Little else happened — until detectives were called to his father’s home in rural Kentucky this past April.
His father had been bludgeoned with a hammer in the back yard. His father’s longtime partner lay dead on the floor
inside, surrounded by blood.
Detectives tried to reach Boyes to inform him of the deaths. They grew suspicious when he didn’t return their calls, said
McCracken County, Kentucky, Sheriff Jon Hayden.
A quick check revealed that Boyes was wanted for a parole violation in Florida. McCracken County Detective Captain
Matt Carter and his partner were driving to Florida to try to find Boyes when one of them ran his name through a
database that includes the names of people who sell items at pawn shops. Boyes, they said, had just sold his father’s
distinctive Harley Davidson wallet — which was missing from the crime scene.
They made a U‐turn and began driving north, toward the pawn shop outside Chicago.
“That was huge,” Carter said. “That was one big piece of evidence that tied him to the double homicide and also gave us
his whereabouts.”
He said that same database also showed that Boyes had pawned jewelry near Chicago a week or two prior ‐‐ within days
of his violation warrant being issued.
"I don't really have faith in the system at all. There were some serious missteps there."
The database, Carter said, is updated frequently. It might have been possible to find the Chicago‐areas sale before the
killings.
Florida parole officers don't have access to that database, which is run by a private company. Hayden said he paid about
$1,200 for his officers to access it during one year.
11
Boyes' supervising officer, who was also responsible for monitoring more than 50 other people, "did not have
knowledge the offender was in the Chicago area at the time," said Alberto Moscoso, spokesman for the Florida
Department of Corrections.
Records from the department show that Boyes' parole officer did a records check to see if Boyes had been arrested
again. They show she visited his home and left a voicemail on his cell phone. They show no other efforts to find him until
April 16 — when he died in a confrontation with police in Antioch, Illinois.
"I don't really have faith in the system at all," said Don Potter, Boyes' stepbrother. "There were some serious missteps
there."
Police found Boyes in a rental car near a bar in northern Illinois. Officials said police fired on Boyes as he raised a gun to
his head and fired a single shot.
Had he survived, Sheriff Hayden said, he “absolutely” would have been charged in the double killing.
There have been similar cases in Western Pennsylvania.
Frederick Harris III, who’s awaiting trial on charges that he dismembered his mother and her husband, eluded arrest on a
parole violation warrant for about nine months prior to the 2014 killings.
That same year, Kerrese Lawrence, who was on probation for a drug charge, was arrested for new crimes and bailed out.
Officials encountered him multiple times in court and during a police stop but didn’t detain him. Instead, they scheduled
violation hearings — one of which he skipped.
That spring, police charged him with killing his pregnant girlfriend. They obtained a warrant after the woman’s death.
In the Post‐Gazette analysis, it took Allegheny County officials about 82 days on average to catch probation or parole
violators under their supervision, according to a Post‐Gazette analysis of court data. It was slower than all but five
counties in the paper’s analysis.
Statistics show that people who commit crimes often reoffend. About three out of every four people arrested on a
felony had prior arrests, according to one study of state court data published by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Yet
there is little research looking at probation and parole violators and the time it takes agencies to track them.
Studies dating back to at least the 1980s have shown that the swiftness and certainty of punishment are key to reducing
new crimes.
University of Wyoming professor Eric Wodahl found in research published in recent years that, if handled correctly,
punishments that involve community service or electronic monitoring can be just as effective as jail time.
“Immediacy does matter,” Wodahl said of consequences. “For them to be the most effective, they need to be certain
that it’s going to happen.”
The Allegheny County Adult Probation Office does not have anyone dedicated to finding violators. Instead, it relies on
the county sheriff’s office to track them down.
But the sheriff’s office also has to track down people wanted on other warrants issued by the courts — such as those
issued for people who skipped their trials or dodged hearings for failing to pay child support.
Estimates put the number of outstanding warrants somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000, but Sheriff William P.
Mullen said he’s never received a reliable number.
The sheriff’s office has 12 deputies and three supervisors dedicated to finding fugitives. It’s common for them to get
pulled to help guard courtrooms when others are on vacation, especially during the summer, when some veteran
officers can take three weeks off. The sheriff said shifting some deputies from the fugitive offices to courtrooms reduces
overtime.
“We’re really scrambling to stay under budget,” he said.
Police officers can also arrest people on probation violation warrants. All officers have access to a national database that
tracks warrants, but Mullen said officers in some local departments fail to run those checks on people they encounter.
It’s not unheard of, he said, for deputies to arrest someone on a violation warrant and learn that they had interactions
with other officers a few days prior.
The sheriff said he’s pushed for the creation of a county‐wide database that would allow his detectives to see more
information about stops made by other departments.
But such a system wouldn’t completely solve the problem. Fugitives can leave the county or state.
Antonio Covington eluded arrest on a Georgia probation violation warrant for five months, despite being arrested in
North Carolina where he was known to spend time.
Authorities never found him — until police suspect he killed a man in Charlotte, N.C.
12
He’s not the only example of someone who left the state and became a repeat offender elsewhere. A man wanted on an
Illinois parole violation warrant was charged this spring with shooting a man in Iowa. A Pennsylvania man eluded
authorities for three years despite multiple arrests in North Carolina.
Delays sometimes occur when people are sentenced in one county and supervised in another.
These stories highlight the ways in which probationers and parolees avoid detection by leaving the states in which they
were convicted — sometimes with little effort to hide their identity.
Covington’s Georgia case dates to July 30, 2013, when someone called 911 to report that a man was driving erratically. A
police officer stopped the car and found multiple drugs and guns, which Covington was prohibited from owning.
Covington later pleaded guilty to gun and drug violations, and a Gwinnett County judge ordered him to spend time at a
drug treatment facility and then participate in an aftercare treatment program as a condition of probation.
Covington got kicked out of the aftercare program July 7, 2015 “due to non‐attendance.” A probation officer obtained a
warrant a month and a half later.
Delays sometimes occur when people are sentenced in one county and supervised in another. Covington’s latest address
was in Fulton County, about a half hour away. Violation paperwork for someone supervised in Gwinnett County would
have to be completed by a Gwinnett County officer, according to Georgia officials.
In the interim, Covington was arrested in North Carolina for illegally possessing a prescription drug and posted bail in the
case. The Georgia probation violation warrant makes no mention of North Carolina or his new arrest.
Bert Flewellen, a spokesman for the Georgia Department of Community Supervision, said he was not permitted to
discuss individual cases under state law.
He said probation officers do have the resources to conduct records checks on the people under their supervision and
do so “at random, for‐cause, and at designated milestones during supervision.”
Probation officers can file additional paperwork in court if they learn of new arrests after a violation warrant has been
issued. That paperwork was not filed in Covington’s case.
Covington appeared again March 31 of this year, when police say surveillance cameras spotted him and another man
dumping 19‐year‐old Ernest Cash Jr. at a Charlotte, North Carolina, hospital. Cash, who had been shot, died the next day.
Police later charged Covington and another man with killing Cash. The probation department in Hennepin County,
Minn., one of the top‐performing jurisdictions, is run by a former law enforcement officer.
“What keeps me up at night is whether or not [violators] are out committing a crime, so this is a very high priority for
our department,” said Chester Cooper, who worked for years in the local sheriff’s office before he joined the
Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Cooper and his predecessor created a position that exists in few others departments: They have one officer whose sole
job is to work with other local agencies to track violators.
Probation Officer Beth Heidmann, who works in Hennepin County, Minn., spends her days collecting background
information on probation and parole violators and coordinating their arrests with local agencies. (Courtney Perry for the
Post‐Gazette)
Officer Beth Heidmann works out of the local sheriff’s office. Each day, she gathers a list of fugitives and digs through
their case files, social media accounts and other sources to find leads on their whereabouts. She passes the information
along to other officers who will do the actual arrests.
She has access to dozens of members of the sheriff’s office, members of a federal fugitive task force and anyone she can
contact at other departments.
Here, it takes officials an average of 43 days to arrest someone on a county probation violation warrant.
“I’m concerned about the 43, so we need to work on that,” said Cooper, the director, after he learned the results of the
Post‐Gazette analysis.
Before Heidmann’s position existed, the office relied on two officers with few resources to catch the fugitives. Cooper
and his predecessor abandoned that system out of concerns for the officers’ safety.
That system rejected in Minnesota is similar to one that is currently being used in Pima County, Ariz., where officials take
more than twice as long to capture fugitives on average.
Ken McCulloch, director of field services for Pima County Adult Probation, said he didn't think it was fair to compare his
department to many others in the country. Pima County officers can arrest people without a warrant and often issue
warrants when they don't know the whereabouts of someone they're supervising, he said. Hennepin County officials
said they like to reserve warrants only for people whose whereabouts are unknown or who are especially dangerous.
“What keeps me up at night is whether or not [violators] are out committing a crime."
13
Among the people tasked with finding fugitives in Pima County is Officer Mark Echavarry. He's part of a two‐person team
that works to arrest people who are being supervised for domestic violence cases. Their positions are grant‐funded and
their resources are limited.
Echavarry and his partner work alone in an old, rusted sedan that was seized as part of a prior investigation. They don’t
have lights and sirens. They don’t have bars in the back of the car, so if anyone fights arrest they have to call local police
to take them to jail.
He spends some of his time tracking down violators, but also has to juggle meetings and compliance checks. They also
have to do background work before heading out on cases.
On one day in May, he only had time to make one stop, where he caught a probation violator. But he had at least four
new warrants waiting for him when he returned to the office.
Echavarry says he’s asked for more resources in the past but hasn’t received them.
“It’s a sticking point with us,” he said.
While research shows rapid consequences can help prevent probationers or parolees from committing new crimes,
officers will at times hold off on filing warrants. They hope the people they are supervising will start following the rules
again and avoid jail.
But that doesn’t always work.
Francisco Fernandez, 23, missed a drug test in November, officials said, and met in person with his probation officer the
following month. Fernandez, who was on probation for a drug case, then missed four more drug tests and moved
without the permission of his probation officer, according to court records.
He later told a police officer “he hasn’t reported because he wanted to get his [medical] marijuana card first,” according
to a police report.
The Pima County Adult Probation Department’s policy gives officers 90 days to try to locate many probationers after
their last face‐to‐face contact with them. For people who have been deemed especially likely to reoffend, the window is
tighter — three days.
“Jumping on that warrant immediately, for a relatively low‐level offender, may not get the benefit,” McCulloch said,
noting that some people might need time to get sober or do other things for their well‐being.
One hundred seventeen days passed before an officer filed a request to revoke Fernandez’s probation.
During that time, the officer visited addresses for Ferndandez, left a voicemail for him and sent him a certified letter.
A week after the request, on April 12, the court issued the warrant. Warrants like the one issued to Fernandez normally
go to the department’s absconder team. Fernandez’s officer decided to hold onto the warrant because he “was hearing
things that the probationer was in the vicinity and might turn up,” McCulloch said. “Looking at the case notes, I don’t see
any [indications] that he was checking other residences or physically following up.”
Police found Fernandez April 27, when they responded to a call that a 7‐year‐old boy had been shot at an apartment
building. The boy, the nephew of Fernandez’s girlfriend, survived.
Fernandez gave differing accounts of the shooting during an interview with police. During the last one, he said, “I think
the gun was loaded and I accidentally pulled it,” according to a police report.
McCulloch said he was comfortable with the way his officer handled the Fernandez case.
“He was kind of doing a wait and see thing.”

Mississippi counties opt for free state inmate labor
By the Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Even though the state stopped paying counties to house Joint State County Work Program
inmates in county jails, the county facilities are still housing them for the free labor.
Scott County Sheriff Mike Lee tells The Clarion‐Ledger (http://on.thec‐l.com/2aYS78B) it would have cost the county a
lot more to replace the workers than what it costs to house them.
Last year, the Department of Corrections citing budget concerns, shut down the paid program. However, under the new
program, counties could continue to use state inmates in a work program without reimbursement. Each county in the
14
new program provides alcohol and drug treatment and GED programs while the state pays for all medical care. MDOC
Commissioner Marshall Fisher said the change would save about $3.2 million.

State gangs turning to less risky but still organized crimes, experts say
By Maya T. Prabhu
IRMO — South Carolina gangs are beginning to leave their traditional profit path of drugs and illegal gun sales for less
violent but still lucrative outlets, gang experts said Monday.
“Sex trafficking and human trafficking is what they’re focusing on,” Richland County Sheriff’s Department Capt. Vince
Goggins said during the opening sessions of a three‐day conference on the spread of gangs in the state.
“Gang members are going this route because it’s more profitable and not as violent,” he added, as more than 400 police
and correctional officers gathered at Midlands Technical College to learn new strategies.
Additionally, Goggins said the fact that white‐collar crimes, such as credit card fraud and counterfeiting money, don’t
require gang members to constantly watch their backs makes such crimes more appealing. The perception that lighter
sentences get doled out plays a role in the appeal, he added.
“If you get caught selling three crack rocks, it depends on how many times you’ve been caught, you might spend 15, 20
years in prison,” Goggins said. “You can get caught with $100,000 in counterfeit cash, you may spend six months. And
the gang members know this.”
But sex trafficking and prostitution still remain lucrative, experts said. A preferred method is through social media and
websites such as backpage.com to set up prostitution rings.
“We’re seeing that the gangs are the ‘pimps’ in these situations,” Goggins said. “That’s something that’s kind of fresh
and new, I think, to the state. It’s been going on forever, but we’re starting to see a lot of our gang members get
involved with that. So that’s something that we’re starting to pay more attention to.”
Gang membership number estimates in South Carolina were not available, but federal officials estimate that nationwide
there are nearly 28,000 gangs with more than 700,000 members.
Officers will spend the conference learning about trends in gang activity, including in‐depth sessions on recognizing gang
trademarks from notorious groups such as MS‐13, Folk Nation and white supremacy outlets. Part of the goal is cross‐
agency cooperation.
“It’s good to have people come in from law enforcement, jails and prisons, and have everyone come in to discuss how
we deal with gangs, and also discuss how do we stop gang activity,” said Elbert Pearson, who recently retired as chief of
enforcement for the S.C. Department of Corrections Office of Inspector General.
“You never know, you might have a gang come in from California and there are gang signs you don’t know of,” he added.
“When you network with people, that information gets to you easily.”

Man “Too Dangerous for Hospitals” Gets Commitment Extended at California State Prison
http://www.corrections.com/news/article/44137‐man‐too‐dangerous‐for‐hospitals‐gets‐commitment‐extended‐at‐
california‐state‐prison
By Jamie Moddelmog
The trial of Vernon Earl Rubidoux commenced Friday morning with Judge Samuel T. McAdam presiding. Rubidoux had
been charged with a crime in 2007 in which he threatened a civilian with a knife, and he had been found not guilty by
reason of insanity. He is currently in a mental health facility and has reached the end of the maximum sentence
available.
The People have requested an “extension of commitment,” maintaining that Mr. Rubidoux poses a substantial danger of
physical harm to others as a result of a mental defect, disease or disorder. Under California jury instructions CALCRIM
No. 3453 on extension of commitment, to be successful in gaining Mr. Rubidoux an extension of commitment, they must
prove:
Element 1. He suffers from a mental disease, defect, or disorder
15
Element 2. As a result of his mental disease, defect, or disorder, he now poses a substantial danger of physical harm to
others.
The day began by addressing the somewhat odd circumstances of the trial, one of which being the absence of the
defendant. Mr. Rubidoux refused to show up for court, refusing transportation by the district attorney from the
California State Prison‐Sacramento (commonly referred to as SAC). His absence led the district attorney’s office to
previously suggest forcibly removing him from SAC in order to have the defendant present for a jury trial, so that the
jurors could view his demeanor. Mr. Rubidoux’s attorney, Chief Deputy Public Defender Allison Zuvela, did not want her
client to be forcibly removed so, “as a strategic move,” she waived her client’s right to a jury trial. Because the client has
refused to come into court, Ms. Zuvela said that he effectively handed over his waiver of a jury trial to her, citing the
case People v. Tran from 2015 regarding required waivers of the right to jury trial. Judge McAdam agreed and the bench
trial, with no defendant present, proceeded.
The first and only witness called by Deputy DA Deanna Hays was Silvia Torrez, a psychologist who works for the
California Department of Corrections in the SAC prison. Her job title is “73.01 coordinator.” Ms. Hays asked her what a
73.01 was, and Torrez explained that a 73.01 was the name for individuals who have been found “not guilty due to
insanity” and were later deemed too dangerous for hospitals, forcing them to be put into the psychiatric services unit of
a state correctional facility. Mr. Rubidoux is one of 26 people in the State of California currently in this program. Torrez
claimed her job was to write reports on the 73.01s, providing consultation for clinicians and a diagnosis of any mental
health issues they have.
When writing her report on Mr. Rubidoux, who was referred to the California Department of Corrections in February of
2015 and arrived at SAC on August 16, 2015, she said she looked over documents from the hospitals at which he was
previously treated, as well as reports from his previous prison sentences. She also interviewed him before writing the
report. Based on her findings, she diagnosed him with “anti‐social disorder” and “persecutory delusional disorder.” She
defined anti‐social disorder as a “pervasive pattern of the disregard of rights of others.” She defined delusional disorder
as “always having delusions that people were out to get him.” His specific paranoia, as described by Ms. Torrez, is that
“he believes he is a high priority ‘hit’ for the Hells Angels motorcycle gang.” Ms. Torrez admits that Mr. Rubidoux did in
fact testify against one of the members of the Hells Angels in 1999, but claims that he has such a rigid, extreme belief
that “everyone he meets is the Hells Angels” that he can be diagnosed with delusional disorder.
According to Ms. Torrez, Mr. Rubidoux was treated at three separate facilities. First, he went to the Napa State Hospital
where he was given an Access 1 diagnosis (major mental illness), but they diagnosed him with a different mental illness
than delusional disorder. He was then transferred to Atascadero State Hospital where he was not diagnosed with any
major mental illness. Later he was transferred to the Patton psychiatric facility, where he was given differing diagnoses
by different psychologists at the facility. He was diagnosed with delusional disorder by one doctor, just the ant‐social
disorder by another, and a third wrote that they should consider the possibility that he may have delusional disorder.
Ms. Torrez stated that, throughout Rubidoux’s roughly ten years in the three hospitals where he was treated, he
displayed a pattern that led the hospitals and the director of all California prison systems to believe he was too
dangerous to be treated at a hospital and should instead be given into the custody of the CDCR (California Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation). These patterns included assaulting, intimidating and threatening others, as well as
having narcotics sent into the hospital. He also consistently claimed that hospital staff were members of the Hells
Angels gang and vowed to escape from them, saying he would hurt anyone who got in his way.
He was constantly either restrained in his bed or accompanied by several “observers” following him around to make
sure he didn’t hurt people. On April 10, 2015, he was involved in a physical altercation in the bathroom in which he
seriously injured another patient. It was at that point that the Patton facility requested he be put in the 73.01 program,
with the understanding that he would not be taken out of it until he no longer demonstrated those same behaviors and
nor posed a threat to the safety of others.
After reviewing his records at other facilities, Ms. Torrez also interviewed Mr. Rubidoux when he came to SAC. She
stated that during the interview Mr. Rubidoux told her that that he knew she was a part of the Hells Angels. He
answered most of her questions with responses like “don’t play stupid,” and consistently called her a b—h throughout
the interview. He claimed that he was not mentally ill, though he did acknowledge that he was anti‐social, describing
himself as a “malingerer” and “not caring what other people think about me.”
Torrez said that he has only had one incident since arriving at SAC, when he broke the rules by resisting a guard
escorting him from his cell. Ms. Hays asked if that meant he was doing better, and Torrez responded that he was only
doing better because he was in “the most restrictive setting possible in a maximum security prison.” He is held in an 8
16
by 12‐foot concrete cell alone, and is escorted in handcuffs by several guards whenever he leaves. He must be
contained inside a Plexiglas module whenever he meets with anyone.
To determine whether he was still a threat to others, Ms. Torrez claimed she wanted to have him go out in the general
yard with the other prisoners. He refused, because he was concerned for his own safety, saying, “I’m a dead man if I go
out there and you know that.”
Ms. Hays moved to have Ms. Torrez classified as an expert witness in diagnosing mental disorders. Ms. Zuvela objected
to classifying Torrez as an expert, saying that only the “trier of fact,” meaning the judge in this case, could state whether
or not Mr. Rubidoux was mentally ill. Judge McAdam agreed but stated that he would not come to a conclusion based
on her opinion, only add weight to the fact that she was an expert in the field. Ms. Torrez was classified as an expert
witness.
In her cross‐examination, Ms. Zuvela asked Ms. Torrez whether she knew that the defendant had not been diagnosed
with delusional disorder at the first two hospitals he has treated at. She said she was unaware of their diagnoses
because she did not have access to those records. Zuvela also noted that his delusional disorder had only existed on
paper for about a year, and asked, “So you don’t have to have this disorder for a long time to be considered a threat?”
Ms. Torrez replied, “No.” Torrez also said that Rubidoux has demonstrated an inability to regulate his impulses for
years, citing his past prison terms.
Ms. Torrez told Ms. Zuvela that Mr. Rubidoux was not attending the minimum 80 percent of his treatment required for
eligibility to leave the CDCR, and he has not been able to demonstrate any improvements because he has had “very
limited access to assault people,” due to his fear of leaving the psychiatric services unit. She claimed that they are not
allowed to forcibly extract him and cited another individual who was kept in the psychiatric unit for nine years because
of his refusal to leave.
Judge McAdam ruled in favor of the DA regarding element 2 of the jury instructions, stating that Ms. Hays had in fact
proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Rubidoux posed a substantial danger of physical harm toward others. He
hesitated in stating that he had a “mental disease, defect or disorder,” and asked if there was any specific
definition. Ms. Hays told him that it was completely at his discretion to decide whether or not Mr. Rubidoux had a
mental disease, defect or disorder, and that he should use the common meaning, because there is nothing more
specific. In other words, she advised Judge McAdam to trust the diagnosis by professional psychiatrists.
Ms. Zuvela brought up the fact that, although Rubidoux had been diagnosed with delusional disorder by some medical
professionals, he has, more the majority of the time, been diagnosed only with “anti‐social disorder” by others, which is
only an “Access 2” diagnosis. This is opposed to delusional disorder, an “Access 1” disorder, meaning “a major mental
illness.” Ms. Zuvela advised the judge to only consider “Access 1” diagnoses when deciding whether or not Mr.
Rubidoux suffered from a mental illness.
She also argued on the basis of a “gut feeling,” saying she “didn’t think it was right” to keep him in his current
conditions. She said that he wasn’t even supposed to go to prison, he was supposed to get help, and now, because the
psychiatrists treating him have decided that medication will not help, and he is not leaving his cell, he is receiving
virtually no treatment, essentially receiving a prison sentence. She stated she did not want Rubidoux to end up like the
man who spent nine years in the psychiatric facility.
Judge McAdam decided that he could not be restricted by “Access 1 or Access 2” diagnoses, that he must evaluate all
evidence. He stated that Ms. Torrez had ample information and was very well informed. He said he also “gave great
weight to the fact that she actually interviewed Mr. Rubidoux” before making a diagnosis.
He ruled that the state had met its burden on element 1 as well, having proven that Mr. Rubidoux did in fact have a
mental disease, defect or disorder. He extended Rubidoux’s commitment for two more years, until May 1, 2018.
He also verified that the court is ordering that the prison staff provide treatment to Mr. Rubidoux and agreed that they
are doing “all that they can.”

I.
Scope and Purpose: The purpose of this General Order (GO) is to establish guidelines
for the use and management of the Mobile Video Recording System. This GO applies to
all employees.
II.
Discussion: With the growing number of citizen protests over police use of force and
general police encounters the agency selected a body camera to be worn by deputies
during their tour of duty. The footage from the body cameras has been used to clear
deputies during complaints, collect evidence during police investigations and has given
the public a sense of better agency accountability. As a result the use of body cameras has
become more widespread throughout law enforcement.
III.
Policy: The use of the Mobile Video Recorder (MVR) system provides documentation
of law enforcement interaction with the public by providing recorded evidence of actions,
conditions and statements that could be used for the prosecution, internal review, or by
the public through formal request. The primary functions of the mobile audio/video
recording system are for deputy safety and to accurately document statements and events
during the course of an incident. The data collected may also be used to determine the
accuracy of a complaint made against a member of this agency.
IV.
Definitions:

Axon Flex Controller: The controller enables you to begin recording of an event
and then stop recording and turn the unit on and off. The controller features LEDs
to indicate the operating mode and battery capacity and is mounted on the belt, in
a holster or shirt pocket. A fully charged Flex controller battery should provide
enough power for approximately 12 hours of normal operation. Recharging a
battery after a 12-hour use can take up to 6 hours.
Body Cam: Is the audio and color video camera mounted on a fitted head, helmet
or shirt collar mount. Cameras may be mounted on low rider head mount, hat,

On- Body Recording System (OBRS)
References:
Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386, 395-96 (The Supreme Court 1989).
Harmon, R. A. (2008). When is police violence justified? Northwestern
University Law Review, 1129.
Purpose:
Establish a policy regarding the use of On-Body Recording Systems by members
of the sheriff’s office and to establish a policy regarding the storage, release, and
retention of OBRS audio/video (A/V) files maintained in department approved
storage devices.
Policy:
The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office is committed to protecting the
constitutional rights of all people. We recognize the need to continuously improve
our knowledge and application of the law as it pertains to our members in their
individual capacity as law enforcement officers, and collectively, as a law
enforcement agency. In pursuit of our mission, we further recognize the benefit of
employing equipment and technology that will assist us in our ethical, legal and
moral obligation to identify, collect and preserve the very best evidence of every
encounter between our officers and the public. This is especially true where the
possibility exists that our officers may determine it necessary to exercise their
legal discretion, power, and authority, in concert with a police intervention, under
the color of law. As such, we have chosen to implement the use of on-body
recording systems as the primary means of attaining this goal. Our Sheriff’s
Office has, therefore, chosen the Taser Axon Flex on-body recording system to
equip officers with the technology that is most capable of fulfilling our obligation
and securing the public trust. We believe the implementation of on-body
recording systems will significantly assist our agency in obtaining an ever
increasingly, higher degree of enhanced accountability to the communities we
serve and protect.
Procedure:
A. OBRS equipment issued to a member of the Sheriff’s Office is the
responsibility of that officer. The OBRS equipment will be operated
according to manufacturer’s recommendations and department
regulations.
1. All officers operating OBRS equipment will wear the A/V recording
device and power pack supplied with each system.
2. Prior to beginning their tour of duty, all officers are required to ensure
their OBRS equipment is working properly and that the date and time are
accurate.
a. All components of the OBRS will be tested to ensure it is in
proper working order and functioning properly.
b. Officers will immediately notify a supervisor if any problems
with the OBRS are detected or the system is not functioning
properly.
c. Officers will ensure their OBRS has been downloaded of all
previous recordings and ensure they are beginning their tour of
duty with a cleared system.
d. Officers will ensure they begin their tour of duty with a
completely charged power source for their assigned OBRS.
e. Officers will inform a supervisor of any recorded sequences that
may be of value for training purposes.
f. If during an officer’s tour of duty, any portion of the OBRS
malfunctions, the officer will immediately notify a supervisor of
same.
3. The OBRS camera will be worn in a position that permits recording, as
closely as possible, that which an officer is looking at during an
intervention in which the officer is involved or present.
a. The camera will be worn on the officer’s strong (gun hand) side
and mounted to the officer’s department issued sunglass/protective
eye wear frames or on the officer’s personally owned eye glass
frame, if so desired.
b. Though other mounting options are available, wearing the
OBRS as required in 3.a. should provide an A/V recording of an
incident that most closely resembles a view of the incident
comparable to the officer’s perspective.
NOTE: Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386, 395-96 (1989)
“…in Graham v. Connor, the Court considered police uses of force
more broadly…The Court’s…counsel was that reasonableness is an
objective inquiry and should be considered from the officer’s
perspective at the time, taking into consideration the often ‘tense,
uncertain, and rapidly evolving’ nature of the circumstances in which
police use force” (Harmon, 2008).
c. The OBRS equipment may be manually deactivated during nonenforcement activities such as protecting an accident scene from
other vehicular traffic or during personal time e.g., when an officer
may need to use restroom facilities.
1. Nothing in this procedure shall prohibit an officer from
activating their OBRS whenever the officer deems the use
of an OBRS appropriate.
d. Officers must immediately notify a supervisor if they become
aware an OBRS unit has malfunctioned.
4. Officers will use the OBRS unit to record all portions of the following
incidents:
a. Responding to calls for service in an emergency status.

c. All traffic stops, including the investigation of a vehicle and
occupants already stopped or parked.
d. All searches including, but not limited to, people, vehicles,
buildings and places.
e. All requests for consent to search without a warrant, including
searches of persons, buildings, or vehicles, will be recorded. Both
audio and video recordings will be made of the request and consent
when practical. This type of recording is intended to enhance a
documented consent however; it is not intended to replace the use
of any form used to gain and/or record the consent to search
without a warrant, when an officer requests such permission.
f. All requests for searches and deployments of drug-detection
canines involving vehicles, when practical.
g. All arrests and/or citations
h. Any incident where an officer is acting under color of law and it
may become necessary for the officer to invoke his or her authority
as a law enforcement officer.
i. Any incident upon direction from a supervisor, at the request of
another police officer or anytime an officer deems it appropriate to
activate an OBRS unit.
j. Officers will use only department issued OBRS to record
incidents. All duty related recordings of any sheriff’s office
activity is the property of the sheriff’s office.

Centre County Jail -- 2½” Dry Hose Connections
We are pleased herein to submit for your consideration our proposal to install (6) 2½” hose connections at the
outside recreation areas within the facility.
Scope of Work
Drill (6) 3” holes for a 2½” pipe to go through. To make the holes we may need to drill approximately (4) 3/8”
anchors per hole to mount the core drill to the wall. We will plug the holes with cement but we will not complete
touch up painting of the walls.
Provide a 2½” Galvanized pipe through the wall. On each side of the wall a 2½ NST female hose connection will
be provided with a knox 3041 locking cap.
A 2½ wall plate with no lettering will be provided behind the 2½ female hose connection to block the hole.
We will make the connection as tight as possible, but there still may be a slight gap between the wall plate and the
wall. Something thin could possibly be slid in behind it if it were not caulked. We will caulk around the plate. We
cannot ensure the caulking will never be removed and something very slim be shoved in behind the wall plate.
Exclusion
Signage. (Owner to provide signage indicating what the device is and what it is used for).
Keys – Owner to purchase keys direct from Knox – We do not know how many and if there is already one
available.
Holes through fence.
Premium time work. Price is based on regular working hours between 6:00 am and 3:30 pm.
Price
$13,660.00
(Thirteen Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Dollars)
Price includes material, freight, labor, tools and taxes. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Price is valid for a period of thirty days.

SecureCap Instructions
The Knox SecureCapTM has been designed for ease-of-use when installing or
removing the cap from a connection. Fire personnel properly equipped with a
Knox Keywrench and standard spanner can quickly remove the cap.
Lock Head
Cap Identification
Each Knox SecureCap is etched with a unique serial number on the cap face.
The SecureCap is designed to be watertight.
Installation
1. Remove warning tag from SecureCap.
2. Remove all debris from connection coupling threads and from inside the pipe. Keywrench I
The system should preferably be flushed priorto installing cap.
3. Taking the Knox Keywrench, turn the lock head counter clockwise until it stops.
This is the unlocked position and starting point. SecureCap must be in the unlocked position
prior to installation.
Threads per Inch
Diameter
4. Place the SecureCap on to the coupling and hand turn clockwise until cap steps.
A spanner should be used to tighten the cap against the gasket seal.
The cap should be firmly tightened the same as an ordinary cap.
Note: SecureCap should on to the connection coupling.
if the cap binds, remove and check threads for damage or incorrect size.
5. Tighten the lock head clockwise with the Knox Keywrench until tight. When cap becomes tree and spins, use of a spanner will hold the
cap in ptace during final tightening of lock head.
6. Once cap is locked, cap will rotate while making a clicking sound but will not come off.
Removal
Attention: Cap may have water pressure behind it. Therefore, take proper precaution.
1. inspect lock head and remove any debris, if necessary.
2. Rotate head to a detent position (a click will be heard).
3. While holding the cap in detent position with a spanner, use the Knox Keywrench to turn the lock head counter clockwise until keywrench
stops. This is the fully unlocked position. (Approximately 2-1/2 to 3 turns]
4. Now use the spannerto engage the lugs on the cap and unscrew the cap counter clockwise from the connection.
Caution
if your system is back flushed for clean out, you must remember to remove all of the Knox FDC plugs and caps so that contaminated
water and debris does not flood the caps/plugs and cause contamination problems. This is especially important it the sprinkler system has
developed microbial infection.
FDC caps and plugs should be inspected by a qualified inspector at least once a yearto ensure situations have not occurred that would
damage the device.

At 1415 Supervisor Kevin Brindle spoke to all Of the second shift kitchen workers (inmate Cameau

given a warning about this.
At 1545 I saw inmate Cameau sitting down not doing anything so I told him to find something to do or he
would be written up. At 1610 inmate Cameau had done no work and was again standing around doing
nothing (160). I told him that he was fired and to change out of his work boots before he was sent back
to work release. At this point inmate Cameau argued with me about getting fired instead of following
orders (142). After calling work release and being told to hold inmate Cameau an officer came at
around 1620 to take him to A1.

Call to Order – Judge Grine called the meeting to order at 12:02 p.m.
Approval of Minutes – Casey made a motion to approve the minutes of the May 27, 2016
meeting, Cathy seconded, and the motion carried.
Announcements
Welcoming of New Attendees - Judge Grine welcomed Magisterial District Judge Steven
Lachman to the table. MDJ Carmine Prestia stepped down from the CJAB and MDJ
Lachman volunteered to take his place. MDJ Lachman said he is happy to be here and he
has big shoes to fill.
PCCD Reentry Workshop – PCCD is going to be sponsoring a Reentry Workshop on
September 27th at the Days Inn in State College. Counties are asked to put together a
team of three to eight individuals to attend the workshop. This is something that the
Reentry Coalition is interested in attending. Karri said that registration is open and
between 60 and 70 individuals have already registered and there is still room available.

Research, one of Dr. Latessa’s colleagues will be speaking at the workshop.
Additionally, Richard Podguski from the Board of Probation and Parole, and Melanie
Snyder will be present at the Workshop. Karri was asked if it is open registration or if it
was only offered to teams. Karri said that PCCD prefers teams, but they will not turn
anyone who wants to attend away.
II.
AROUND THE TABLE
Tracy Small – Tracy provided updates on CIT. They have held 12 trainings so far which
puts them at a total of 243 Centre County individuals who have been trained. Eight of
those individuals were trained in Laurel Highlands, and 235 were trained in Centre
County. In April, 17 individuals from various organizations attended the eight-hour CIT
Youth Refresher Training. In May, Officer of the Year awards were presented to
Sergeant Glenny from Ferguson Township Police Department and Amy Lose. The five
year celebration was held at Celebration Hall and there was a really good turnout.
Individuals who have been involved with CIT over the past five years were recognized.
Tracy explained that when they have someone who interacts with an individual going
through a crisis, they fill out a data sheet also known as a crisis tracking form explaining
what happened that they came in contact with that individual. She said about 95% of the
forms they receive come from police officers, but some of them come from CCCF,
Probation, and 911. To date, they have received over 1,290 data sheets and 249 of the
forms have been submitted by non-CIT trained individuals. Tracy thinks it is significant
that individuals realize that even though they have not been CIT trained, there is a benefit
in filling out the form to connect individuals to services in the community.
Casey McClain – No report.
Tom Young – Tom reported he and several others attended a Vivitrol Information Session
yesterday at the Drug and Alcohol Office. It has some promise in working with heroin,
opiate, and alcohol addictions. It is something that the CCCF is looking into and
considering. The SCI facilities are currently running a Vivitrol pilot program. This is
just one piece in curbing the heroin epidemic and we can expect to see more information
relating to Vivitrol coming in the future. Tom said that they have also begun to look at
furniture and fixtures for the Temple Court building.
Denise Elbell – Denise said they are working on organizing a meeting with the judges
regarding the creation of a drug court. They are also looking to work with the judges to
determine what is going to happen to the third and fourth floor of the Courthouse once
the District Attorney’s Office and the Probation Department move to the Temple Court
building. Denise also mentioned once furniture for the Temple Court building is selected
it takes three months to receive it.
Melanie Gordon – Melanie also talked about the Vivitrol programs and said they are
going to try to keep abreast of how those are going. She said that a lot of counties are
issuing one dose of Vivitrol prior to release.

Anne Ard – Anne reported that the Women’s Resource Center did not submit a JAG
Grant application. She believes due to so many victim’s services organizations applying,
that the criteria was really narrowed down. As such, they did not qualify to apply. Karri
interjected that they are putting out specific funding announcements. Anne said they
have been lucky because they received other funding for the project that they hoped to
implement with the JAG Grant. They want to enhance their organization capacity and
provide outreach to males who are victims of sexual assault and are moving ahead with
that project.
Diane Conrad – Diane stated that she is the temporary representative for the Centre
County Chief’s Group. Within the next week they should have an official representative
designated. The HOPE Initiative is one of the things the Chief’s Group is working with.
Additionally, she said that all of the police departments have received their prescription
drug collection boxes through the PA District Attorney’s Association and they are now
up and running. The Centre Region departments are changing out their records system.
Also, with 911’s new CAD system, many of the law enforcement departments are getting
new computers for in their cars. Additionally, the departments are beginning to prepare
for the fall due to the PSU football games and the national political scene as there are
some concerns about protests.
Bryan Sampsel – Sheriff Sampsel said they are also getting the CAD system in their
vehicles for the first time ever. He relayed there will be Sandusky hearings on August
12th, 22nd, and 23rd; and a Paterno hearing on August 19th. Sheriff Sampsel also reported
that his office is short staffed. Additionally, he received a phone call from an Amish man
and was asked if someone would be willing to speak to their community regarding the
heroin and opiate epidemic. There could be anywhere from 50 to 500 people to attend.
Kate Holmes – Tuesday is the National Night Out where different law enforcement
agencies get involved with the community.
Bonnie Millmore – No report.
Steve Lachman – No report.
Jonathan Grine – The Court is working on implementing a drug court to deal with the
heroin and opiate problem. Another issue the Court is trying to work on is dealing with
transporting state inmates and having the man power to do that. Sheriff Sampsel said that
it takes between two and a half to three hours just to get in SCI Benner Township. The
Sheriff’s Office does not have a facility to hold inmates awaiting court proceedings and it
would not be beneficial to create such a space because there would need to be additional
officers on staff to guard the area. Judge Grine said that Jury Selection begins on
Monday and there are 31 inmates signed up to pick a trial. Not all of them will be able to
pick on Monday and some of the inmates will need to pick on Tuesday. They have
scheduled Benner Township and CCCF inmates to pick juries on Monday and Rockview
inmates for Tuesday. Due to the number of individuals wanting to proceed to trial, Civil
Jury Selection day has turned in to being a second day for criminal jury selection.
CJAB Meeting Minutes

Kendra Miknis – No report.
Mark Higgins – Commissioner Higgins reported that the Commissioners were very
happy with the HOPE Initiative Town Hall Meeting. He said that we are going to need a
much larger auditorium for the next town hall meeting. He suggested checking with
Steve Dershem about reaching out to Mount Nittany Middle School which has seating
and parking for up to 450 – 500 people.
Mark Smith – The District Attorney’s Office has two murder trials coming up – one in
August and one in September. They are working on a grant through the District
Attorney’s Association to get Narcan for the Bellefonte Police Department. There is
already a supplier and system in place for the Centre Region police. With regard to the
medication collection boxes, they had to follow rules for getting the boxes in the correct
locations within the police departments as each of the departments have different building
structures. For example, Penn State Police department is open 24 hours so they are able
to constantly monitor their drug collection box; but when the Patton Township Police
Department closes for the day, there is no one there to watch the collection box and it is
not viewable by camera. As such that posed a challenge. When the collection boxes are
emptied, the drugs need to be weighed. The DA’s office purchased scales for each of the
agencies for weighing the collected drugs. Once collected, the drugs are then transported
to a District Attorney’s Association approved incinerator. Casey asked if the police
departments where the drug overdose deaths are occurring carry Narcan. Diane
explained that the State Police and Centre Region police have it. Bellefonte Borough
Police, Spring Township Police, Penn State Police, and the Sheriff’s Office do not carry
Narcan at this time. The ambulance departments have carried Narcan for years.
Karri Hull – See PCCD Update under Committee Reports.
Dale Neff – Dale said that the CAD system went live about a week ago. This is a big deal
for the emergency personnel. The CAD system is used to manage phone calls, and there
is a mobile unit that police officers and municipal officers have in their vehicles. That
interacts with the CAD and information can go back and forth very seamlessly between
dispatchers and officers. The officer is able to see what the dispatcher is looking at, and
any notes or updates are sent to the officer automatically. This was a commissioner
initiative, and the Board of Commissioners and the Acting County Administrator were
very supportive. All of the field users met and provided input to make the
implementation happen. Additionally, Dale said his call takers handle hundreds of phone
calls a day, and see a higher call volume during football games and weather emergencies.
They get used to those types of phone calls and know what to do. Dale has asked them to
be alert for things that “smell bad” or information that does not jive in terms of officer
safety and to alert officers of that information so they are aware when responding to a
call.
Gene Lauri – Gene said that there are two individuals who the CJAB would like to honor,
Chief King will be retiring and taking the Assistant Borough Manager position in State
College. A certificate of Appreciation was prepared for his work with the CJAB and his
work with the community. As MDJ Prestia has stepped down from the CJAB, a
Certificate of Appreciation was also prepared for his work with the CJAB.

Cathy Arbogast – The Drug and Alcohol office has a lot going on and they are involved
in a lot of different initiatives and projects trying to make options and resources available
to individuals managing addiction. Medication assisted therapies are part of their
ongoing conversations to include what it looks like, how it is done, and where it is done;
and how do they ensure to the extent that they are involved that evidence based practices
are being used, and that the most effective, responsive, and responsible methods are being
used. The Drug and Alcohol Office is looking at Recovery House and how it might be
utilized in Centre County. They are working with their treatment providers in terms of
access to treatment - particularly the higher level inpatient levels of care. She said they
get lucky every once in a while and are able to get a same day admission, but that
typically is not the case. They are also working with their treatment providers to identify
resources. All in-patient providers are looking to expand and to make more beds
available. With the drug court discussion, they are willing to provide any information
that would be helpful in those conversations. Their drug and alcohol case managers are
prepared for the calls that come in. They have already seen an increase in the volume of
phone calls between the town hall meeting and the CDT article series on the heroin and
opiate epidemic. Cathy told the case managers to be prepared for what all might be
coming in, and they have a positive “bring it on” attitude.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
PCCD Update – Karri said that with regard to the Narcan, she believes that the PA
Chiefs of Police Association still has funding available for Narcan. Karri recently
attended a presentation in Potter County on Vivitrol. The presentation was given by a
group out of Western Pennsylvania called Positive Recovery Solutions. They currently
have contracts in Blair, Armstrong, and Indiana Counties. They have a mobile unit
outfitted with a waiting room, bathroom for drug testing, and an area to administer
Vivitrol shots. They travel in the mobile unit from county to county to see clients and
administer Vivitrol shots. They have contracts with ten additional counties to begin
offering services in those counties. Positive Recovery Solutions works with probation
and whatever treatment provider is overseeing the client. It is a stipulation of receiving
Vivitrol for the client to be compliant with their probation and/or treatment. The first
injection is free, and any additional injections will be covered Medical Assistance or by
grant funding. They have found the Vivitrol program to be successful because it releases
over a 30 day period.
There are two new funding announcements. The first is the Mental Health and Justice
Pretrial Initiative which was released July 15th and is due September 16th with $750,000
announced, and the maximum award is $150,000. This is an initiative to expand the
successful implementation of Evidence Based Practices (EBPs), promising practices or
innovative pretrial diversion strategies for justice-involved individuals with Mental
Illness/Co-Occurring Disorders (MI/COD), Intellectual Disabilities (ID), and/or autism
spectrum disorders. The second funding announcement is the Endowment Act - Direct
Victim Service Organization. The announcement was released July 13th and applications
are due August 26th. The total amount of $850,000 was announced and the maximum
award is $50,000. This is for direct victim services programs. The thing about the
CJAB Meeting Minutes
July 29, 2016
Page 6 of 9
Endowment Act is they are very specific and you need to make sure you are applying
under the correct category.
The 2017 CJAB Conference will be held on April 4th and 5th and will be held at the Penn
Stater Hotel and Conference Center.
Centre County July 26th HOPE Initiative Town Hall Meeting Report – The HOPE
Initiative was only expecting between 150 and 175 people to attend the town hall
meeting, but over 250 individuals showed up. There is going to be a second town hall
meeting held on Tuesday, September 13th. The HOPE Initiative will be meeting next
week to begin planning that town hall. On the main county website, there were a few
links added to include the link to CNET to view the recorded town hall and the dates that
it will be aired on the CNET television channel. Another link is being added to allow
access the materials that were handed out at the town hall meeting. Gene said that it is
his understanding that CNET is also going to pull some small clips from the town hall
meeting so we can utilize them in the future. Cathy said that the HOPE Initiative was
pleasantly surprised by the level of interest from the audience. Each member of the
audience received a notecard and was asked to write any questions they had on the
notecards and pass them in. There were a few reasons behind this format to include: the
town hall meeting was being recorded by CNET; to allow everyone to pose any questions
they had; and to allow screening of questions and to remove duplicate questions. A lot of
the questions that were asked will be helpful in planning the discussions to take place in
the next two town hall meetings. There was a lot of “buzz” coming from the town hall
meeting. There are individuals wanting to learn more, wanting to be involved, and
wanting to volunteer. Gene said that a lot of the audience questions they did not get to.
As such, those questions have been compiled into one document for the members of the
HOPE Initiative to take a look at and answer. Then, once all of the questions are
answered, they will be posted on the main county website. There are a lot of family
members with life experience and members of the recovery community who want to be
involved. Cathy said she believes that the town hall was very well received and the
group now has a lot of work ahead of them since they have opened the door regarding the
heroin and opioid epidemic.
IV.
OLD BUSINESS
Medication Collection Box Locations – Gene mentioned there is a link on the County
website homepage to a document containing all of the medication collection box
locations in Centre County and times they are available. In that link, it is stated what
items can and cannot be disposed of in the drug collection boxes.
JAG Grant Application Submitted: Specialty Treatment Court Viability Assessment –
In May of this year, the CJAB approved to pursue JAG funding to help do a problem
solving court viability assessment. An application was completed for the amount of
$24,000 that would be used largely to obtain a consultant to help us do a study to see
where the need is in Centre County for a mental health or drug court to determine if we
have the number to support either court or both. It was approved by the commissioners
and submitted. If awarded the grant, the funds would not be available until January 2017,
and the funding would be good from January 2017 through December 2017. There has
CJAB Meeting Minutes
July 29, 2016
Page 7 of 9
been some discussion about when do we do a drug court, and there are some things to be
considered. As Denise explained, there is a meeting that will be set up with the judges to
discuss. There may be some other money coming together next year for the planning and
implementation of a specialty court. However, like the DUI Court, if awarded funding,
over time that amount will decrease and the amount of local funding would need to
increase to sustain a specialty court. If you receive grant funding, you really need to plan
how the program will be funded over time, and you have to plan for if or when the grant
ends. We have managed to do that with several programs including the DUI Court where
we had to come up with different funding streams to keep the program going.
CJAB Mini-Grant of $1,106 Received – We were awarded $1,106 through the minigrant. This funding was used to print materials relating to the heroin and opiate
epidemic. Some of the printed materials are available to anyone who wants to take some
to display at your office or other locations. We are really trying to get the word out. As
everyone can see, there are posters and flyers hanging up in various locations at CCCF
regarding the epidemic. Gene said that he received an email this week about a young
woman who had been an inmate at CCCF five or six times over the past seven or eight
years who passed away from a drug overdose in a neighboring county. The epidemic is
something that is really impacting a lot of people. In the past two and half years, 43
individuals have passed away from a drug overdose in Centre County. Compared to
motor vehicle accident fatalities, that is a lot of people.
V.
AGENDA ITEMS
AOPC Sponsored “Problem Solving Court Start-Up Training” – Kendra explained
Judge Ruest has taken the lead on attendance to this training as well as being the judge to
oversee the problem solving court if the program is created. Gene said Karen Blackburn,
the Problem Solving Court Coordinator from AOPC, informed us about this training that
is going to be held on October 12-14, 2016. Gene talked to Judge Ruest about the
training because it basically to look at what is involved in the planning and
implementation of a problem solving court. They thought it would be a good experience
to attend so the Court, District Attorney’s Office, and possibly Public Defender’s Office
can see what is involved in implementing a specialty court. They require a team,
including a judge, prosecution representative, defense representative, probation
representative, a coordinator, and a treatment representative to attend the training. The
training is paid for by AOPC and there is basically no cost to the county. Casey asked if
it would be a good idea to be forward thinking to apply for a grant to see if a specialty
court is even needed in Centre County. The Court feels very strongly about discussing a
specialty court and there needs to be a significant amount of planning to implement a
specialty court. Judge Grine said that a problem solving court fits in with what the CJAB
is trying to do and at the AOPC training is to see what is involved in the startup of such a
court. Denise said that when the Commissioners have the meeting with the judges, they
are also going to invite the District Attorney’s Office, Public Defenders Office, Probation
Department, Tom McDermott, and Gene so all of the representatives will have a chance
to be at the table and be on the same page. Cathy said they have an intern starting and
they are going to have that individual pull and compile some data to see what we are even
talking about. For example, if they pull the Central Court list for the past six months and
look at what the charges were and what did that individual end up getting in order to have
CJAB Meeting Minutes
July 29, 2016
Page 8 of 9
something real to have a conversation about. Denise said another thing they want to do is
to visit Blair and Lycoming County’s specialty courts to see how they are running.
Everyone needs to be on the same page before moving forward.
VI.
OPEN DISCUSSION
Sheriff Sampsel said in his experience, addicts come from surrounding counties to Centre
County to steal items and take them back to their county to sell in order to support their
addiction. He wanted to make a point that not everyone who has an addiction will be
going through the court system with drug charges. Cathy said they are hoping to see
what they can dig in to. It would take some time to look at but there would be an idea of
what the number are if someone could take the time to look at police reports and get the
details surrounding the offense; or look at if someone comes through on a retail theft
charge, have they have come through the system for drug and alcohol treatment before.
Mark said that prior to implementing the DUI Court, they were looking at a drug court.
The research Mark did for six months was to take all cases coming in to Central Court
from January to June and determined if the charges were due to a drug related
background. Just because it was a retail theft case did not mean that it was not a drug
case. They had the cooperation of law enforcement and when arresting individuals for
something other than drug charges, officers would ask the suspect what they did with the
money to see if it was drug related. He said they were able to determine how many cases
were coming in that were drug related. But when that data was taken to look at how it
was going to be used, most of those individuals with drug related cases were from
surrounding counties and they would be referred back to their home county. As such, at
that time a drug court was not what was needed in Centre County.
Gene let everyone know that there is an organization called United Against Heroin
Addiction in State College. They are not formally associated at the HOPE Initiative, but
asked if we could post their flyer about the Spikes game they are hosting on the County
poster boards. Gene showed the flyer to the CJAB and explained that the tickets can be
purchased at the YMCA or at the will call office the night of the game. Anne asked Gene
if he knew anything about the organization. He said that it is a relatively new
organization. It is sponsored by a business man from the State College area and someone
who was a former heroin addict. Their goal is to provide assistance programming to
individuals who are impacted by addiction to heroin and opioids. Cathy said they are in
the very early stages of existence and it is a private organization.
MDJ Lachman asked if we have demographic information on those who have had a fatal
overdose. Gene explained that we do have some information, but it is not extremely
detailed. A lot of them were ages 30 – 50 who have overdosed. Cathy said that they are
working with Mount Nittany Medical Center to get data on individuals who have
overdosed and survived so we can have a better understanding of what that number is.
Gene said that research has estimated that for every fatal overdose, there are about 10
individuals who have overdosed and survived.
Denise said that there are going to be 64 new cameras installed inside the courthouse, and
4 additional cameras outside within the next two weeks.

The advocate from the Women’s Resource Center, Kimisse, will be coming in on Wednesday, August 17th at 8:30 am, and
Thursday, August 18th at 8:30 am. She has 5 people to meet with and it’s easier on her and her schedule to split them up
between two days. She will meet with three people on Wednesday and will meet with two people on Thursday. I left it
up to her, who she wants to meet with on each day.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

Prison inmates volunteer for Department of Corrections research
(Harrisburg) -- A study by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections looks at where
ex-offenders choose to live once they are released.
The study seeks to determine the relationship between where an ex-inmate goes to live
and their likelihood of re-offending.
Bret Bucklen, Director of Planning Research and Statistics with the Department of
Corrections, says it involves a group of inmates about to be released from state prison.
"We randomly assign half of them to go back home through a half-way house, and the
other half go to a non-contiguous county essentially across the state. And we call that
the relocation study," Bucklen said.
Researchers want to determine if returning to familiar surroundings has a better
outcome than starting over in a new city or town.
The results are expected by the end of the summer.

Judge vacates death sentence of convicted Clinton County hatchet murderer
By John Beauge
LOCK HAVEN — The number of Pennsylvania's death row inmates has been reduced
by one.
Clinton County Senior Judge J. Michael Williamson has vacated the death penalty of
Shonda Walter, 37, and sentenced her to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
He wrote: "As noted by every other judge who has considered this case, based upon
the fact that the defendant was represented by totally incompetent counsel in the
penalty phase of these proceedings, the imposition of the death penalty by the jury in
this case is vacated."
A jury in 2005 took less than 30 minutes to find Walter guilty of first-degree murder in
the death of her 83-year-old neighbor, James Sementelli, a Pearl Harbor veteran.
Defense attorney Stephen C. Smith did not call any witnesses but relied on the crossexamination of prosecution witnesses.
Walter had rejected a plea agreement that would have avoided the possibility of the
death penalty.
Trial evidence showed she struck Sementelli 66 times with a hatchet in his Lock Haven
home on March 23, 2003, refused his pleas to call 911, stole about $510 in quarters and
drove his car to Williamsport but returned to flush away a cigarette butt she had left in
the toilet.
Sementelli's body was discovered six days later and the hatchet, which contained his
blood, was found along a rural road north of Williamsport.
The commonwealth has agreed not to further pursue the death penalty, Williamson
noted. Walter, a single mother, is incarcerated at the Muncy state prison.

Vigil held for dogs abused by John Tanis
Outside Lackawanna County Courthouse this morning demonstrators held pictures of
once-abused dogs, urging the court not to give a convicted animal abuser the rights to
those dogs back.
A magenta sign read “Justice for These Dogs Now” in blue writing next to a large photo
of a skinny Weimaraner named Larry with his ribs showing.
The vigil, Candles for Canines, was organized by Tracey’s Hope Hospice and Animal
Rescue of Duryea, which, as state’s evidence for almost three years, has provided care
for the 30 dogs rescued from the home of John Tanis in Moosic.
Mr. Tanis was convicted in December 2014 of five counts of animal cruelty and several
summary offenses. Police charged Mr. Tanis in 2012 after finding five emaciated
Weimaraners living in filthy conditions at his Main Street home. He was sentenced in
February 2015 to one to two years in state prison followed by three years’ probation.
A hearing is being held today to determine whether or not Mr. Tanis must forfeit his
dogs.
The dogs, which are predominantly Labrador Retrievers and Weimaraners, are in foster
homes, said Virgil Night, spokeswoman for the rescue. The vigil was to show support for
the canines and give them a voice.
The rescue was “relentless” to get the dogs taken away from Mr. Tanis, said Ms. Night.
The foster parents as well as the rescue just want resolution. They want to be able to
keep the dogs and spay or neuter them, something that can’t be done until Mr. Tanis’s
rights to the animals are forfeited.
Nicole Urban of Meshoppen has followed Mr. Tanis’s case since 1996. She joined the
demonstrators today outside the North Washington Avenue side of the courthouse.
“It’s been very close my heart for 20 years,” she said. “It’s remarkable what he’s gotten
away with.”
She hopes that after today’s hearing Mr. Tanis will not be granted his dogs back and will
never be allowed to have an animal again
(Tanis was paroled from Camp Hill on 4/15/16)

Moratorium on death penalty has local impact
LOCK HAVEN - After 13 years on death row in state prison, Shonda Walter, convicted
in the murder of a local war veteran, is no longer facing the death penalty despite a jury
deciding that fate.
Walter, 37, formerly of Lock Haven, was convicted of first-degree murder in the 2003
death of James Sementelli, 83, of North Summit Street, Lock Haven.
A jury then sentenced Walter to death.
The homicide occurred in March of 2003; the trial and conviction came in 2005.
In a brief order dated July 26 of this year, Senior Clinton County Judge J. Michael
Williamson dismissed all post-conviction issues with the sole matter of the death penalty
and imposed a penalty of life imprisonment in a state correctional institution without the
possibility of parole.
The order: "With respect to the death penalty, as noted by every other judge who has
considered this case, based upon the fact that the defendant was represented by totally
incompetent counsel in the penalty phase of these proceedings, the imposition of the
death penalty by the jury in this case is vacated."
Walter is an inmate at the state prison in Muncy.
The U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year declined to hear the Walter case, challenging
the constitutionality of the death penalty.
Her attorney, Daniel Silverman, had argued the death penalty violates the Eighth
Amendment because "our standards of decency have evolved to the point where the
institution is no longer constitutionally sustainable."
Silverman said Walter had been "ill-served by counsel, leaving serious questions about
her guilt and eligibility for the death penalty." Attorney Stephen Chadwick Smith was her
counsel at the time of the trial.
Walter's defense team argued that her trial was unfair, in part because her trial lawyer
openly conceded her guilt to the jury. In an appeal, the trial lawyer made arguments that
one judge described as "unintelligible."
Up until this month, Walter held the dubious distinction as the last woman remaining on
Pennsylvania's death row.
The conviction and sentence of death were affirmed by the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court on March 20, 2009, and again last January by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The distinction held little meaning this political term, due to Gov. Tom Wolf's declaration
that he would impose a moratorium on the death penalty in Pennsylvania.
In February, shortly after taking office, Wolf said he would grant a reprieve in each case
in which an execution was scheduled, citing questions about the "fundamental fairness"
of capital sentencing in Pennsylvania. The governor also said people are more likely to
be charged with a capital offense and sentenced to death if they are poor or members
of a racial minority.
Lock Haven police discovered the body of James Sementelli inside his home.
Sementelli, a veteran, sustained over 60 wounds, 18 fractures, and 45 bruises to
various parts of his body, many of them to his head, face and neck.
The investigation soon focused on Walter, a young woman who lived with her mother in
a house across the street from Sementelli.

'They killed him like they killed her': DA on death of husband of rock-throwing victim
By John Beauge
At 8:24 p.m. Saturday, Randy Budd, whose wife, Sharon, was seriously injured two
years ago when she was struck by a rock teens had thrown from a highway overpass,
sent a text to state Sen. Gene Yaw.
At Budd's urging, Yaw, R-Lycoming, has introduced legislation to require fencing on
new overpasses or those undergoing a major renovation.
"Please get the fence issue settled," Budd texted to Yaw.
Two and a half hours later, Budd, 55, was dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
On Sunday, Union County District Attorney D. Peter Johnson, who prosecuted the four
youths, pointed with anger to the tragic events of July 10, 2014, when the rock hurtled
through the windshield of the Budds' car as it traveled along Interstate 80 and struck
Sharon Budd in the head.
It wasn't only Sharon Budd whose life was forever changed a year ago by a rock that
came hurtling out of the darkness.
"Randy Budd did not die from a gunshot," said an emotional Johnson. "He died when
those kids threw a rock through his windshield."
Johnson said Budd loved his wife and supported her through the ordeal. But Budd had
once said that because of that rock, he lost his wife as he knew her.
Sharon Budd, a school teacher from Ohio, suffered severe brain damage — her injuries
included a crushed skull and the loss of an eye. She has undergone multiple brain
surgeries at Geisinger Medical Center.
Rather than being the family caregiver, Sharon Budd became the person needing care.
Her daughter, Kaylee Budd, said almost a year ago that her mother could no longer be
left alone. She could not prepare her own food, take her medications or work the TV
remote, her daughter said last September.
Johnson speculated that Budd could no longer live with the situation, and again pointed
to the four young men — Brett and Dylan Lahr, Keefer McGee and Tyler Porter — who
went on a vandalism spree that that July night in 2014 that included throwing the rock.
The men were handed minimum prison sentences ranging from 11 1/2 months to 4 1/2
years.
(Tyler Porter and Dylan Lahr are being held at Pine Grove, Brett Lahr at Smithfield,)

Lawrence County courts send fewer convicts to state penitentiaries, data shows
By Daveen Rae Kurutz
The number of Lawrence County criminals admitted to state penitentiaries annually
dipped in 2015, according to data released Tuesday by the state Department of
Corrections.
In 2015, 132 criminals convicted of crimes by Lawrence County judges were admitted to
state prisons. That equals 15 people per 10,000 residents, a number slightly lower than
the state average. Those numbers are down from 143 and 16.2 in 2014.
Unlike other nearby counties, Lawrence County hasn’t seen a spike in the percentage of
criminals imprisoned in state facilities because of parole violations. That percentage has
grown across the state in recent years -- including in Beaver County. Last year, 42
percent of admissions were parole violations; two years earlier, parole violations made
up 32.5 percent of admissions.
The trend is more notable in Allegheny County, where 55.7 percent of new admittances
were sent to state prison because of a parole violation in 2015. In 2013, that number
was 49.8 percent.
“We know that parole violation admits have gone up statewide while new court admits
have gone down,” said Bret Bucklen, director of the state Department of Corrections
office of planning, research and statistics. “Parole violation admits have gone up in
larger part because the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole supervised
population has continued to grow.”
As that population grows, so does the number of parolees violating the terms of their
release, Bucklen said.
“This isn’t really a unique trend to Beaver County, but has been happening more or less
statewide,” he said.
Across the state, the number of parole violation admissions increased by 15 percent
between 2013 and 2015.
During the three years of data the state released, Lawrence County hasn’t seen much
change in the demographics of the criminals sentenced to state penitentiaries. Those
accused of a crime or convicted with a sentence of less than 24 months generally reside
at a county jail in Pennsylvania. If a conviction is longer than 24 months, the criminal
typically is admitted to one of the state’s penitentiaries.
In Lawrence County, the overwhelming majority of criminals sentenced in 2015 were
men -- just 11, or 8.3 percent, were female. The racial breakdown of convicts hasn’t
changed much in the past three years. In 2013, 68 percent were white -- in 2014, 70
percent were white, and in 2015, 68 percent were white.
Demographically, Beaver County’s convicted criminals mirrored Lawrence County’s: in
2015, 90.5 percent were male, 50 percent were white and 47.6 percent were black.
The state also assigns a risk score to each convict. Those scores -- low, medium and
high -- are used to determine a criminal’s risk to “re-offend” after their release from
prison. In 2015, 56.8 percent were medium-risk; 25.8 percent were high-risk; and 16.7
percent were low-risk.
Beaver County had a similar breakdown. In 2015, 54 percent were considered medium
risk; 32.5 percent were high-risk; and 13.5 percent were low-risk.

Defense for inmate accused of killing Nanticoke corrections officer wins access to
additional info
By James Halpin
WILKES-BARRE — The gang assassin accused of murdering a correctional officer at
U.S. Penitentiary at Canaan won a partial victory Thursday when a federal judge ruled
his defense will have access to additional discovery information.
Con-ui is awaiting trial over the Feb. 25, 2013, stabbing death of Nanticoke native Eric
Williams, a federal correctional officer who died after being kicked down a flight of stairs,
then beaten and slashed with two shanks.
His attorneys have not disputed that Con-ui was responsible for the slaying, which was
caught on video, but they are seeking to avoid the death penalty for their client by
offering evidence of what they allege are systemic problems within the federal Bureau of
Prisons related to officers’ treatment of prisoners.
Prosecutors have fought the disclosure of additional discovery materials, arguing that
Con-ui, who is already serving 25 years to life for a 2002 murder, committed a premeditated murder unrelated to any other issues that may occur in prisons across the
country.
In a ruling Thursday, U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo delivered a split decision,
ordering prosecutors to turn over some of the materials the defense has been seeking.
The data includes a list of prison homicides from 2005 through 2015, information on
staff and prison murder offenders, discipline data on death row inmates, and
“shakedown” logs for ADX Florence, the supermaximum security prison in Colorado
where Con-ui is being held.
Caputo denied a request for all communications between federal prosecutors, the
Bureau of Prisons, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, finding Conui “failed to demonstrate any factual basis for why the correspondence or
communications are material to mitigation evidence.”
Con-ui’s trial is scheduled to begin in April. He remains in custody at the Colorado
prison.

Problems prompt call for public prison board
By Bill Wellock
WILKES-BARRE — Luzerne County needs a public prison board, according to
councilwoman Kathy Dobash.
Her suggestion comes after separate incidents in which a correctional officer and
inmate died from falling down an elevator shaft in July and a former counselor at the
prison pleaded guilty to extortion later that month.
Dobash sent an email to other council members asking to discuss the proposal at its
next meeting, on Aug. 9.
She suggests a board of at least seven people: the county manager, two council
members who don’t serve on other county boards, the district attorney, the president
judge or another judge designated by him, the head of correctional services, and a
county citizen.
The group would hold public meetings at least monthly. It would hear from employees
as well as inmates with concerns about the prison.
“We would have a transparent eye on the corrections system,” she said. “I think council
is kept in the dark, and this would be a more public venue to address the safety
concerns and any other issues.”
Council has the power to create authorities, boards and commissions — or ABCs —
and to appoint volunteers to serve on those groups. Two dozen ABCs exist now. Some
of the groups are advisory, but others approve spending and have other decisionmaking power. Council plans to discuss another suggestion for a new board, which
would hear discrimination complaints, at its Aug. 9 meeting.
Luzerne County Manager David Pedri said he has been meeting almost daily with Mark
Rockovich, correctional services division head, since the death of correctional officer
Kristopher Moules. He said he’s very interested in learning more about the proposal for
a prison board.
“I’ve always erred on the side of transparency, so I would like to provide whatever
information we have out there. As long as this ABC doesn’t go into the lines of day-today operations of the prison, which would be a charter issue, I’m interested in looking at
what our options are. And I’m looking forward to the conversation with council in that
regard,” he said.
Luzerne County had a prison board before adopting its home rule government. That
board consisted of the county commissioners, controller, district attorney, sheriff, and
the president judge or a designee as stipulated in state law.
The board held monthly public meetings, and heard from prison administration and the
union that represented prison employees. Inmates could also contact the board.
“They were monthly, to talk about the business of the just the prison,” said Tom Borum,
business manager for Laborers’ International Union of North America Local 1310. “As
opposed to the way council is now, the prison is a part of meetings, but this was
specifically for the prison. I thought it was better than the system we have now, because
there’s nothing now.”
The union represents non-management prison employees such as correctional officers,
training officers, cooks, maintenance staff and counselors.
Current Councilman Stephen A. Urban was on the former prison board when he served
as a commissioner. The board discussed issues at the facility and received a report
from the warden, Urban said.
“When you have information and facts getting out, it helps the manager manage the
facility and it gives everyone an idea of what’s going on and what’s needed,” he said.
Like Dobash, Urban said he wants more information about the facility on a regular
basis. Brief oral reports from the warden at council meetings aren’t enough he said.
“Now, council doesn’t hear anything until budget time,” he said.
Pedri also wants to create a standing monthly meeting between the union that
represents correctional officers and county and prison officials, including the county
manager.
The contract between the county and the union that represents prison employees says
that county officials will hold monthly meetings between management and labor, Borum
said.
Under the previous correctional services division head, those meetings became part of
other conferences — such as grievance hearings — instead of existing as a separate
meeting devoted to discussions between management and labor, Borum said.
According to Borum, the union’s main concern at the facility is staffing. The day shifts
used to have nine more correctional officers than currently patrol, he said.
With those numbers, he said, “there definitely would have been more people available
on the floor the day that happened to correctional officer Moules.”
Under current state law, second class counties and other counties that choose to adopt
the same guidelines have a county jail oversight board which must include three citizen
members. Third, fourth and fifth class counties — including those with a population
similar to Luzerne County’s — have a board of inspectors, all of which are county
officials. For sixth, seventh and eighth class counties, governance of county correctional
facilities falls on the county sheriff. Luzerne County is not bound by the structure
outlined by the state because it has a home rule government.
For example, Bucks — a second class county — has an 11-member prison oversight
board that includes three county residents.
In 2002, a federal judge ordered the county to include citizen members in its board after
a series of incidents at the facility.
“It helps to get an insight from a county resident not involved in anything with the
county,” said board chairman and Bucks County Sheriff Edward J. Donnelly, who is also
on the board because of his position as county sheriff. “Sometimes they see things we
overlook, because we are doing this day-in and day-out. It is a plus.”
His board meets monthly and does things like gathering information on prison
operations and investigating grievances. The board is currently trying to deal with
overcrowding at its facility.
“I think it leads to better decisions and helps with problems,” said Donnelly. “It gives
everybody a sense of fairness, and a sense that everybody’s watching.”
Luzerne County resident Mark Rabo, a frequent attendee at county council meetings,
emailed information about the Bucks County board to Dobash.

Cambria County treats cell block for bed bugs
By Kelly Cernetich Brown
Cambria County Prison officials said they've treated a cell block where an officer found
a bed bug earlier this week.
They added that they've taken steps to make sure the lone bug doesn't turn into a
bigger pest.
Deputy Warden Bill Patterson said a corrections officer found a bedbug in a cell Monday
in the west side of the jail's Disciplinary Housing Unit.
The DHU is where all new inmates are sent for quarantine before being placed in other
units, he said, so officials believe the bug likely came from a new prisoner.
"We believe it was someone who would have just come off the street," he said.
Inmates were moved to the jail's gymnasium and quarantined there for about two to
three hours while a pest control firm treated the entire west side of the prison, Patterson
said.
"We didn't want it to spread to other areas of the prison," he said.
While they believe there was only one bug, Patterson said officials are being proactive;
pest control has returned to the jail and treated other areas, including the gymnasium
and property rooms where inmates exchange their belongings and clothes for a prison
uniform.
Patterson said there were no reports of prisoners or staff being bitten by bedbugs, but
jail officials "will be following up with routine treatments" if necessary.

Resident off Upper Dublin Facility for troubled youth admits raping female counselor
By Carl Hessler Jr.,
COURTHOUSE - An 18-year-old man who was a resident of an Upper Dublin facility for
troubled youth has admitted to charges he raped a female clinical intern at the facility.
Naseer Johnson showed no emotion as he pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Court
to felony charges of rape, aggravated assault and aggravated indecent assault in
connection with the Dec. 23, 2015, attack at The Villa, a residential facility for abused
and neglected children, at 701 Bethlehem Pike. Judge Steven T. O’Neill deferred
sentencing so that court officials can complete a background investigative report,
including drug, alcohol and mental health evaluations, about Johnson.
Johnson also must undergo a psycho-sexual evaluation and be evaluated by the
Pennsylvania Sexual Offenders Assessment Board, which will determine if he meets
criteria to be classified as a sexually violent predator under state law.
Johnson, who was represented by defense lawyer George M. Griffith Jr., was remanded
to the county jail without bail to await his sentencing hearing.
Johnson faces a possible maximum sentence of 25 to 50 years in prison on the
charges. Assistant District Attorney Kristen Feden is prosecuting the case.
Court papers did not reveal Johnson’s place of residence prior to his being placed at
The Villa.
Upper Dublin detectives alleged Johnson physically assaulted and then raped the
woman in the cafeteria area of the school building between 4:30 and 5 p.m. Dec. 23.
An investigation began when township police were dispatched to the facility for a report
of a sexual assault. The victim had been employed at The Villa as a clinical intern since
August 2015, according to detectives.
“(The victim) reported that the sexual assault occurred in the cafeteria of The Villa
following a counseling session she had with Naseer Johnson,” Upper Dublin Detective
Michael B. Lebby alleged in the arrest affidavit, adding the victim also reported that
Johnson strangled her during the assault.
The victim reported that after Johnson pulled her off of the stairs he began striking her
repeatedly to the back of her head and that she made several attempts to escape his
grasp but to no avail as he “repeatedly banged her head against the cafeteria wall,”
according to the criminal complaint.
Johnson then forced the woman to the floor and sexually assaulted her. The victim told
police that Johnson told her, “If you scream I’m going to kill you,” court papers indicate.
“(The victim) reported that she stopped resisting because she feared that Naseer
Johnson would kill her,” Lebby alleged, adding that during the assault the woman feared
Johnson was going to kill her after he raped her.
When police confronted Johnson about the assault, he confessed, according to the
criminal complaint.
The woman was treated at Abington Memorial Hospital for her injuries after the assault.
Johnson also pleaded guilty to a separate charge of simple assault in connection with
his attack of another woman at the Horsham Library on Babylon Road about 6:30 p.m.
Nov. 17, 2015. Horsham police said Johnson assaulted the woman in the women’s
bathroom by pulling her hair and banging her head against the floor.
The screaming victim was able to escape and other library patrons identified Johnson
as the man they saw exiting the women’s bathroom after the assault.

Elk County Prison able to dose pregnant opioid addicted inmates in house
By Katie Weidenboerner
RIDGWAY — Pregnant inmates at Elk County Prison who are addicted to opioids will
have to travel less to receive the care they need.
A policy drafted by the Discovery House methadone clinic in Clearfield was the
discussion of Tuesday’s Prison Board meeting.
“Whenever we have any pregnant females that are in jail and currently receiving
methadone or are opioid addicted, we have to take them for methadone treatments
every day,” said Gebauer, who added the daily trips results in staffing strains and
overtime.
Working with a program provided the clinic, the warden has signed off to do “home
dosing,” meaning a patient would visit the clinic once a week and be provided six doses
of methadone to be provided by the prison’s medical staff.
“We do from time to time get pregnant female inmates. But this has been the first in a
long time where we had to take them to the methadone clinic for treatment,” Gebauer
explained. “It’s more for the baby than the mother. If they’re pregnant and they’re on
methadone treatment they have to stay on it or it would be harmful for the baby.”
Medical professionals nearly always advise pregnant opiate-addicted women to take
methadone as a part of a medically supervised methadone maintenance treatment
program. Methadone is currently the only medication approved for the addiction
treatment of pregnant women who are addicted to heroin or other opiates.
Right now, situations like this are rare for the Elk County Prison.
But looking to the future it could become more common as Gebauer said “we are
getting more and more females in that are pregnant.”
As of Tuesday, the total prison population in the Elk County Prison was 68. Of those 11
are women.
And numbers are keeping steady.
So far this year the prison has booked 224 inmates, compared to 243 last year.
While “opioids” are the buzz word in the local and national discussion on drug addiction,
Gebauer said the prison sees heavy street abuse of “benzos,” prescribed by their
proper names as Valium, Colonopin, and Xanax. These drugs present a unique danger
because there is no reversal antidote prison staff is permitted to administer.
“Overall, I really don’t see any difference with us because we’ve always seen drugs,
whether it be heroin, opioid pills, benzos,” said Gebauer, who added the prison recently
passed its state inspection from the Department of Corrections.

Potter County commissioners move ahead with criminal justice reforms
By Amanda Jones
COUDERSPORT — The Potter County Commissioners are moving ahead with reforms
of the county’s criminal justice system on the heels of announcements that the federal
and state government are pushing for Data-Driven Justice (DDJ) initiatives in
communities across the country.
Commissioner Paul Heimel recently attended the National Association of Counties
(NACo) conference where the highlight was a move to make the criminal justice system
“smarter.”
Information released by NACo indicates that every year, more than 11 million people
move through the 3,100 local jails in the U.S. Many offenders are incarcerated for lowlevel, non-violent misdemeanors, which costs taxpayers $22 billion each year.
“In local jails, 64 percent of people suffer from mental illness, 68 percent have a
substance abuse disorder, and 44 percent suffer from chronic health problems.
Communities across the country have recognized that a relatively small number of
these highly vulnerable people cycle repeatedly not just through local jails, but also
hospital emergency rooms, shelters and other public systems, receiving fragmented and
uncoordinated care at great cost to American taxpayers, with poor outcomes,” the
NACo release stated.
The DDJ Initiative has been formed by the White House, to include a bipartisan coalition
of 67 county, city and state governments committed to using these strategies to divert
low-level offenders and change approaches to pre-trial incarceration.
Participating communities are expected to implement a number of strategies, including
using data to identify and break the cycle of incarceration, equipping law enforcement
and first responders with tools to respond and divert and using data-driven, validated
pretrial risk assessment tools to inform pretrial release decisions.
Commissioner Doug Morley announced that he will empanel a Smart Justice Strategic
Planning Committee to oversee all of the criminal justice restructuring programs the
county has put in place over the past several years. The committee will oversee the
specialty courts for DUI and drug offenders, the Women’s Residential Rehabilitation
Center, and the county’s newest initiative, the pre-trial diversion pilot program.
The panel will oversee and examine all criminal justice restructuring programs. A
strategic plan will be constructed that takes into account funding sources, personnel,
direction of the programs and a cost/benefit analysis.
“We’re really ahead of the game in what we’re doing, and we feel that funding from
federal and state governments is going to start flowing to these evidence-based
programs,” said Commissioner Susan Kefover.

Wilkes Barre (Times-Leader) 08/07/2016)

Corrections officers’ use of force at Luzerne County prison spiked in 2015
By Jennifer Learn-Andes
WILKES-BARRE — The use of force to subdue or restrain inmates is on the rise at the
Luzerne County prison on Water Street, and officials pin the blame largely on an
increase in confrontational and aggressive inmates.
In 2015, the county prison had 90 cases of the use of force and/or restraints — a 91
percent increase from the prior year’s 47 cases, according to a review of annual county
prison reports released by the state Department of Corrections.
The county reported 13 cases of force and/or restraints in 2013 and 56 in 2012, the
reports show.
In addition to physical force, county correctional officers have deployed handcuffs,
shackles, restraint chairs, chemical agents and stun devices, the reports say.
County prison officials have publicly warned for years that the aging and usually
overcrowded facility’s atmosphere has markedly changed because more inmates are
involved in serious crimes, feuding with competing gang members under the same roof
and suffering from mental health issues and the effects of drug withdrawal, mainly
heroin.
“We have more violence on the part of inmates,” said Mark Rockovich, a veteran county
prison worker who took over as county correctional services division head on July 18,
the same day a corrections officer and inmate crashed through a fifth-floor elevator to
their deaths during an exchange.
The July 18 incident is an example of why force can become necessary inside the
prison’s walls, officials say.
Upset he had to walk up a flight of stairs instead of riding in the elevator after exercising,
inmate Timothy Darnell Gilliam Jr., 27, started a “heated discussion” with correctional
officer Kristopher D. Moules, 25, county District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis has said.
Moules advised Gilliam to exit the cell block into the hallway, where Gilliam had a verbal
confrontation with Moules and a corrections officer in a locked control room, according
to the findings of the DA’s criminal investigation.
As the confrontation escalated, the control room officer ordered that Gilliam be
handcuffed.
However, Gilliam started a physical altercation with Moules as the corrections officer
tried to handcuff him, investigators said. Before Moules could get the handcuffs on,
Gilliam pulled Moules backwards toward the elevator and hit the elevator door, which
swung out at the base, according to investigators. Both men fell 59 feet and 1 inch down
an elevator shaft to their deaths.
Salavantis concluded Moules responded appropriately by asking Gilliam to step away
from the 37 other inmates on the block to attempt to resolve the grievance and prevent
the situation from escalating.
Types of force
State law requires county prisons to report the number of times force and restraints are
used beyond the routine moving, escorting and transport of inmates.
This reporting mandate evolved from the Eighth Amendment’s ban on “cruel and
unusual punishment,” which has been legally interpreted to allow excessive force when
necessary in a good-faith effort to keep or restore discipline.
Restraint chairs are the method most frequently deployed at the county prison and were
used in 61 of the 90 use-of-force cases last year, the statistics show.
The chairs, which harness an inmate in a seat, were used between 41 and 46 times
annually at the prison from 2012 through 2014.
County Deputy Warden James Larson had described a situation involving the chairs in
May, saying two inmates had to be placed in restraint chairs while their cells were
checked because they had refused to comply with repeated orders to remove coverings
from windows that allow officers to see inside their cells, in part to prevent suicide
attempts.
The two inmates in that case were in single-occupancy cells reserved for prisoners
caught committing an assault or other serious misbehavior behind bars. One of these
inmates had mental health issues, and the other had acted out, Larson said at the time.
Most county inmates are allowed to spend most of their waking hours outside their cells
on their block because the prison generally can’t keep them on restricted lockup unless
they’ve engaged in misconduct, officials said. Segregated sections are set up for certain
inmates who can’t be around the general population, including sex offenders, juveniles
sentenced as adults, inmates on suicide or mental health watch and those who were
abused or injured by other inmates.
Inmates are checked by medical staff when they are in restraint chairs to ensure there
are no problems with restricted circulation or other health issues, Rockovich said.
Rockovich said strict protocol and training are required for all use of force and restraints.
Physical force — along with or without restraints — was documented in 56 of the 90
cases last year, the statistics show.
A stun device was used twice last year and three times in 2013 but not in the other
years, records show.
Pepper spray
County correctional officers relied on a non-lethal chemical agent, commonly known as
pepper spray, to subdue inmates 10 times last year and eight or nine times annually
from 2012 through 2014, records show.
The officers have access to pepper spray but don’t carry it on them at all times,
Rockovich said.
The 2013 death of corrections officer and Nanticoke native Eric Williams inside U.S.
Penitentiary Canaan in Wayne County sparked the passage this year of a federal law
named after Williams that allows federal corrections officers to carry pepper spray.
Prosecutors alleged that convicted killer Jessie Con-ui kicked Williams down a flight of
steps, pinned him to the floor and stabbed him over 200 times.
Pennsylvania legislators are considering a similar law requiring the state Department of
Corrections to provide pepper spray to all corrections officers in medium- and highsecurity state prisons.
State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski , D-Wilkes-Barre, said he would sponsor legislation
imposing a similar requirement for county prison corrections officers if they express an
interest in such a request. He said some corrections officer have told him increased
staffing would be more beneficial because inmates could align and attempt to seize
pepper spray for use as a weapon against corrections officers.
Rockovich said he’s willing to explore arming all corrections officers with pepper spray
“It needs to be looked at very carefully. Pepper spray does subdue people, but you have
to prevent inmates on a block from grabbing the spray,” he said.
Statewide perspective
The increase in the use of force and restraints isn’t limited to Luzerne County’s prison.
The combined total of such cases at all county prisons statewide has steadily risen from
2,894 in 2012 to 4,028 last year, the statistics show.
Kevin Rousset, second vice president of the Pennsylvania County Corrections
Association, said the increase stems partially from a rise in inmates with mental health
illnesses at many county prisons.
“A lot of times force is used to restore order to a situation, but it’s also needed to protect
inmates from self-injurious behavior,” Rousset said, describing situations where inmates
bang their heads against a wall or vow to commit suicide.
The association’s members across the state regularly analyze and discuss use-offorce/restraint cases in an attempt to reduce the number of cases and prevent litigation
by inmates, said Rousset, superintendent of the Bucks County Community Corrections
Centers.
Rockovich said the use of force and restraints must be monitored and scrutinized at the
county prison, but he does not expect a decrease in the 2016 statistics.
Some don’t realize county prisons house offenders charged with murders and other
serious crimes that will send them to state prisons after they are sentenced, he said.
Prison workers often have no idea which inmates are battling mental health, behavioral
and addiction issues — information they document before inmates are sentenced and
transferred to the state prison system.
“When they come in the door, we know nothing about them if they haven’t been here
before, other than what’s on their rap sheet,” Rockovich said.
Salavantis said the burden of identifying anger issues and other behavioral problems
falls on county prisons.
“It can be more dangerous working in a county prison than a state one,” Salavantis said.

Wardens at two women's prisons retire amid abuse, suicide claims
By The Associated Press
The wardens at California's two major women's prisons have retired amid allegations of
pervasive problems, including sexual abuse of inmates at one institution and persistent
suicides at the other.
The complaints come amid wide problems for the corrections department.
A series of lawsuits forced the state to lower its inmate population and cede control of
prisoner healthcare to a federal receiver, while the California inspector general found a
culture of racism and abuse at a men's prison.
Aside from sexual abuse, guards at the Central California Women's Facility in
Chowchilla, the state's largest women's prison, permit fights between inmates, use
unneeded force and derogatory names and retaliate against inmates who complain,
said Don Specter, director of the nonprofit Prison Law Office, which investigates inmate
mistreatment.
Specter pushed for leadership changes after attorneys found systemic problems at the
Chowchilla women’s prison, which he called “a very troubled place.”
“There are serious problems there, including verbal abuse of prisoners, failure to protect
them from other prisoners, contraband, sexual abuse — mostly in the form of: `If you do
me a favor, I'll do you a favor' — that kind of thing,” he said. “There's a lot of fear, and
fear of retaliation for reporting misconduct.”
The attorneys, who represent inmates in several major lawsuits against the state, have
been working with the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in recent months,
including conducting joint interviews June with about 150 of more than 2,800 inmates at
the state's largest women's prison, he said.
Specter said the investigation “proved to everyone's satisfaction that there were serious
problems” and the department appears to have been taking steps to make changes
since then.
The department said Chowchilla Warden Deborah Johnson retired routinely last week
after 30 years of state service. Kimberly Hughes also routinely retired as warden at the
California Institution for Women, which houses nearly 1,900 inmates in Corona, after
more than 27 years as a state employee, officials said.
“There is really no connection” to the problems reported by the Prison Law Office
attorneys, spokeswoman Vicky Waters said Thursday.
The department said it could not arrange interviews with the retired wardens. Two other
senior staff members at the Chowchilla prison also were being reassigned.
Waters and another spokeswoman could not immediately comment on the abuse
allegations but said the department has been cooperating with the Prison Law Office.
Nichol Gomez, spokeswoman for the California Correctional Peace Officers Assn., said
in an email that the union that represents most guards “does not comment on
unsubstantiated rumors or allegations.”
“But I can tell you the majority of California correctional peace officers are professional
and take their duty and oath seriously,” she wrote. Employees at both prisons “do their
job the best they can within the conditions they face, which include lack of staff.”
Specter praised the leadership change but said attorneys are waiting to see what else
the department will do to change the prison's culture and practices.
Meanwhile, state Sen. Connie Leyva (D-Chino) wants the state auditor to look into
suicides at the California Institution for Women.
She is asking for an audit next week to see why the suicide rate was eight times the
national average for female prisoners in an 18-month period in 2014-15.
“I think it is clear there are some systemic and pervasive problems,” Leyva said.
There were four suicides and at least 35 attempts during that period, and two more
suicides this year.

Company in Deadly Prisoner Transportation Investigation Puts New Safety Measures in
Place
By ELI HAGER and ALYSIA SANTO
The country’s largest private extradition company, Prisoner Transportation Services,
said Friday it has taken several steps to improve prisoner safety on its vehicles as it
seeks approval to merge with its biggest national competitor next week.The company,
which recently came under federal scrutiny after The Marshall Project and The New
York Times reported on the deaths of several prisoners, said it is installing cameras and
a real-time tracking system throughout its fleet of 33 vehicles.PTS said it also has hired
a compliance officer to ensure the company follows federal regulations and retained
lawyers to undertake an independent review of practices within the company and the
industry.“We are committed to doing things right and being an industry leader,” the
company said in an email.
The announcement comes as PTS, which transports suspects and fugitives back to the
jurisdictions where they are wanted, is poised to merge with U.S. Corrections, its closest
rival in the national market. The federal Surface Transportation Board is set to approve
the deal Tuesday unless public comments are filed.It also comes about a month after
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch told House lawmakers that her office would
investigate apparent lapses in federal oversight of the private extradition industry. The
Marshall Project investigation, published in July, revealed a pattern of inhumane
conditions, abuse and deaths of prisoners aboard for-profit extradition vans, which are
largely unregulated.
Since 2012, at least four people have died while being transported by PTS, and since
2000, at least 60 prisoners have escaped from private extradition vans. At least two
dozen prisoners and guards have been killed or seriously injured in crashes.The merger
would leave Tennessee-based PTS as the only major company in the national
extradition market. In 2015, PTS acquired U.S. Prisoner Transport, a Florida company
that was then one of its chief competitors. PTS has contracts or relationships with 800
law enforcement agencies, and U.S. Corrections has contracts with 25, federal filings
say. U.S. Corrections was formed in 2014 and has apparent ties to another extradition
company, Florida-based USG7, which dissolved in 2014, according to a filing with the
Florida Department of State. USG7 still owes at least $200,000 in legal judgements
awarded to inmates injured in crashes and to former employees, according to a review
of court records and interviews with attorneys.
Asked whether the two companies were linked, Dustin Baldwin, the executive director
and part owner of U.S. Corrections, said in an April email, “I couldn’t tell you anything
about ‘USG-7’ other than we had some staff that used to work there.” U.S. Corrections
did not respond to requests for comment on Thursday.
A PTS spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment on ties between USG7
and U.S. Corrections. The companies said in their merger application that the deal is
“primarily about acquiring the talent and operational experience of” U.S. Corrections.
The application does not mention USG7, whose operations supervisor, Ashley Jacques,
became director of operations at U.S. Corrections and is also a part-owner. Walter
Thomas, a former president of USG7, became one of U.S. Corrections’ lawyers.
Fernando Colon, a former employee of both companies, said that in the first months that
he worked for U.S. Corrections, he was still getting paid with USG7 checks, one of
which he provided to The Marshall Project.
He also said he was instructed to order equipment with a USG7 credit card, which he
said his bosses wanted to “max out.” In July 2014, a USG7 email address and
registration number was used in dealings between U.S. Corrections and the Department
of Transportation, according to DOT filings. And in a bid for work with West Virginia
submitted last year, U.S. Corrections wrote, “U.S. Corrections is a new company by
name but not by existence, experience, and management.
The name U.S. Corrections…was formed in January of 2014 after an existing company
decided to leave the prisoner transportation industry. Between 2010 and 2014, USG7
vans crashed at least six times, including one crash that killed a guard. In another case,
a prisoner sued for injuries he sustained when a USG7 van rolled during a
thunderstorm. A federal judge ordered a $100,000 default judgment against the
company, but it has not been paid. USG7’s insurance had also lapsed at the time of the
incident, according to court documents and records provided to reporters by the
prisoner’s attorney.USG7 was also found liable last year for a default judgement of
more than $134,000 after three employees claimed they were not paid their wages.
That has not been paid, a lawyer for the employees said. In April, the Michigan
Department of Corrections canceled its contract with U.S. Corrections, writing in a letter
that the company had allowed an escape and frequently failed to deliver inmates on
time. Michigan has since switched to PTS.

Texas businessman admits guilt in Epps bribery case
By Patsy R. Brumfield
JACKSON – Texas businessman Mark Longoria told a federal judge Wednesday that
he plotted to fix bid specifications to block out other vendors from contracts with the
Mississippi Department of Corrections.
Longoria told U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate that before his company sought
business with the Corrections Department, he was told “we had to go through Cecil
McCrory,” who previously entered a guilty plea in the long-running influence peddling
case. McCrory's lawyer has since told the court he will change his plea.
Longoria spoke during a nearly two-hour hearing in which he pleaded guilty to paying
nearly $230,000 in “commissions” to McCrory's Investigative Research Inc. company for
some $782,000 in contracts with the Mississippi Department of Corrections, then run by
Commissioner Christopher Epps.
“Why was he the consultant you had to work with?” Wingate asked him.
“I don't know,” replied the Longoria, 53, from Houston, Texas.
He also told the court he wasn't aware at first that he was paying any money to Epps,
but that later McCrory talked about “his commission and Epps'.”
“That's when I put two and two together – regrettably, I did not object,” Longoria said.
On July 25, Longoria was accused of a conspiracy to gain business with the Corrections
Department by funneling kickbacks and bribes through McCrory. The charges came in a
bill of information, which is a government charge not made through a grand jury
Prosecutor Darren LaMarca told the court that Longoria and his company, Drug Testing
Corp., paid McCrory's company each time it got paid by Mississippi Department of
Corrections for drug testing cups. Payments to Epps totaled about $60,000, he said.
“When confronted with the evidence, McCrory admitted he conspired with Longoria to
make Drug Testing Corp an exclusive provider” for the Corrections Department,
LaMarca said.
With his guilty plea, Longoria faces up to five years in prison, a $131,000 cash
forfeiture, and a $250,000 fine. His sentencing was set for Oct. 13.
Epps pleaded guilty in February to conspiring to accept kickbacks and bribes totaling
more than $1.4 million. He has not been sentenced.
Earlier, Teresa Malone, wife of former state representative Bennett Malone of Carthage,
made her initial appearance before Magistrate Judge Keith Ball.
She is under a federal indictment accusing her of making monthly payments to Epps
between 2010 and 2014 to secure and retain contracts for her employer, AdminPros
LLC of Illinois, to provide medical vendor monitoring and Medicaid eligibility services to
the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Malone's husband was once chairman of the
House Corrections Committee.
A grand jury indictment accuses Malone of three counts of wire fraud and paying
kickbacks. If convicted, she faces up to 30 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
Malone faces an Oct. 3 trial. Her attorney, Jamie Franks of Tupelo, advised the court he
will seek a continuance because he will be out of the country on legal business during
the fall.
Four others also were indicted in the scandal, which rocked the state agency in 2014
and brought about Epps' removal as the state's longest serving corrections chief.
Franks advised the court that Malone is a double-lung transplant recipient and would
need medical treatment at Oschner's in New Orleans. Ball said the court would be
responsive to her medical needs.
Both Malone and Longoria are free on $10,000 unsecured bond each.

Nature Videos May Be Calming for Prison Inmates
By FELIX GUSSONE, MD
What's the best TV show to watch if you're incarcerated? Forget hardcore dramas like
"Orange is the New Black," "Oz" or "Prison Break." One way to escape the miserable
reality of prison life may be a good old-fashioned nature show, new research finds.
Forty-eight inmates at Oregon's Snake River Correctional Institute watched nature
videos of oceans, forests, jungles and mountains three to four times per week over one
year. Compared to other inmates in the cell block, the nature video watchers exhibited
far fewer negative emotions and behaviors, such as aggression and nervousness.
"We found that inmates who watched nature videos committed 26 percent fewer violent
infractions," Patricia Hasbach, Ph.D with Northwest Ecotherapy and lead researcher,
told NBC News.
There was another unexpected benefit: The relationships between prison guards and
inmates improved because the nature videos were helpful during conflicts.
"Sometimes all it took was 15-20 minutes in the nature imagery area to calm them
down," reported one staff member in the study.
The new study adds to growing evidence that being in contact with nature — real and
otherwise — can reduce anger and relieve stress in hospitals, schools, assisted living
centers, and military sites. "We have evolved as a species embedded in nature and we
need nature for our well-being," says Hasbach, who incorporates the "healing effect of
nature" in her work with all her patients.
Hasbach believes the Snake River prison experiment is a model for prisons nationwide.
Her team has already been contacted by prisons in six other states that want to know
more about the imagery program to help limit stress and violence among inmates.
Hasbach presented the findings Friday at the American Psychological Association's
Annual Convention in Denver.

Even violent crime victims say our prisons are making crime worse
By Christopher Ingraham
A first-of-its-kind national survey finds that victims of crime say they want to see shorter
prison sentences, less spending on prisons and a greater focus on the rehabilitation of
criminals.
The survey, conducted in April and released Thursday by the Alliance for Safety and
Justice, a criminal justice reform group, polled the attitudes and beliefs of more 800
crime victims pooled from a nationally representative sample of over 3,000 respondents.
People were classified as crime victims if they reported being victimized in a violent or
property crime any time in the past 10 years.
"Perhaps to the surprise of some, the National Survey on Victims’ Views found that the
overwhelming majority of crime victims believe that the criminal justice system relies too
heavily on incarceration, and strongly prefer investments in treatment and prevention to
more spending on prisons and jails," according to the report.
By two-to-one, victims said the criminal justice system should focus more on
rehabilitating people who commit crimes, as opposed to punishing them. By similar
margins, the victims preferred shorter prison sentences over keeping criminals
incarcerated "as long as possible."
These findings mirror what other polls have shown on general public attitudes toward
prison. A 2012 survey by the Pew Charitable Trusts found that 84 percent of the public,
including strong majorities of both Democrats and Republicans, agreed that money
should be shifted from locking up nonviolent inmates to alternative programs, like
probation and parole.
More recent surveys have uncovered overwhelming support for eliminating mandatory
minimum sentencing requirements for federal crimes.
But congressional efforts to implement policies like these have often been stymied by
"tough-on-crime" senators, including Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Dianne Feinstein (DCalif.), who are skeptical of many reform efforts. They often cite the experiences of
crime victims and their families in their arguments against reform.
For instance, in 2009 Feinstein and Republican Sen. Jon Kyl argued in an op-ed that
"for too long, our court system has tilted in favor of accused criminals and has proven
appallingly indifferent to the suffering of crime victims."
In 2014, Grassley argued on the Senate floor that "lower mandatory minimum
sentences mean increased crime and increased victims. Why would we vote to increase
crime and create more crime victims?"
But the new survey suggests that crime victims' interests don't always align with those
of the tough-on-crime lawmakers who invoke their names. The survey suggests this
may be because many crime victims don't see prison as an effective tool for reducing
the crime rate and preventing others from being victimized.
In the survey, 52 percent of victims said that prison makes people more likely to commit
crimes again. Only 19 percent said that prison helps rehabilitate people into better
citizens. This skepticism of prisons is in line with most social science research, which
has generally shown that mass incarceration causes more crime than it prevents, that
institutionalizing young offenders makes them more likely to commit crime as adults,
and that spending time in prison teaches people how to be better criminals.
The survey comes during a period intense focus on clemency efforts by the Obama
administration. The president recently commuted the sentences of 214 people in federal
prison, 67 of whom were serving life terms.
For at least some crime survivors, these commutations represent an important step
toward a more just, less violent society. The survey report quotes Judy Martin, an Ohio
woman whose son was shot and killed in a parking lot.
"The way our criminal justice system is set up currently doesn’t allow for redemption,"
Martin says. "We must treat each other, even those among us who have made serious
mistakes, with more humanity. It’s the only way forward."

New Hampshire 1 (08/07/2016)
http://www.nh1.com/news/federal-complaint-filed-to-stop-nh-from-housing-non-criminalmentally-ill-patients-in-prison/
Federal complaint filed to stop NH from housing non-criminal mentally ill patients in
prison
By: Nancy WestInDepthNH.org
CONCORD - State Rep. Renny Cushing is ratcheting up efforts to halt the practice of
housing severely mentally ill patients who haven’t committed a crime with convicted
prisoners at the Secure Psychiatric Unit at the State Prison for Men in Concord.
Cushing, a Hampton Democrat, has joined forces with other advocates, and on Friday
they filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice civil rights division in
Washington seeking a full investigation into the longstanding practice.
“The fact that we’re the only state that takes people who haven’t committed a crime or
been accused of a crime - but who have a severe mental illness - and put them inside
the walls of the state prison commingled with other prisoners who have been convicted
of crimes, it’s really a moral outrage,” Cushing said.
Cushing, along with Arnie Alpert and Maggie Fogarty, of the New Hampshire branch of
the American Friends Service Committee and the Treatment Advocacy Center in
Arlington, Va., also recommended building an appropriate facility to house patients who
are considered too dangerous to themselves or others to be treated in the New
Hampshire Hospital, the state’s psychiatric facility.
“The state of New Hampshire is systematically and intentionally violating the
Constitution, as well as the civil rights and civil liberties of a very vulnerable population
of its citizenry,” wrote Frankie Berger, director of advocacy with the Treatment Advocacy
Center.
It’s clear that New Hampshire is aware of the violation and has opted to continue rather
than pay for appropriate facilities, Berger wrote in the complaint letter.
“It is therefore obvious that New Hampshire will not change this practice without federal
intervention. We respectfully ask the Special Litigation Section to open an investigation
into New Hampshire's Secure Psychiatric Unit at the Men's Prison in Concord,” the
complaint said.
Jeff Lyons, spokesman for the Department of Corrections, said he has not seen the
complaint. If an investigation is conducted, the department would cooperate, but would
be unable to comment while it is ongoing, Lyons said.
Berger makes the point that patients are sent to the 60-bed Secure Psychiatric Unit for
diverse reasons.
“New Hampshire in fact treats all psychiatric patients who require secure placement in
the prison's SPU,” Berger wrote.
That includes people deemed incompetent to stand trial, found not guilty by reason of
insanity, inmates who require psychiatric treatment, along with those transferred to the
prison from the state hospital because they are considered a danger to themselves or
others.
“It is completely unacceptable to place a forensic patient in need of a psychiatric
hospital bed in the Secure Psychiatric Unit; the facility is not a hospital and does not
provide the protections or care afforded in a hospital. It is not subject to the Patients' Bill
of Rights that any other hospital in New Hampshire would be,” Berger wrote.
Berger noted the Legislature’s past failures to fund a new unit at New Hampshire
Hospital or to build a new facility.
“Bills have been introduced to prohibit this practice, but none have passed,” Berger
said. It always comes down to the Legislature being unwilling to spend the money,
Berger said.
Mentally ill patients at the Secure Psychiatric Unit are treated the same as mentally ill
prisoners who have been convicted of serious crimes.
“They are issued prison numbers, their visitors have to go through the same security
process as those visiting incarcerated individuals, and the 'treatment' that they receive
is not analogous in the slightest way to the level of care received in an inpatient
psychiatric hospital,” Berger wrote.
Women are housed in the Secure Psychiatric Unit despite it being located in a men's
prison. Corrections officers staff the facility, and there is commingling in various public
spaces of individuals convicted of crimes with civilly committed patients, the complaint
says.
“Officials are aware that this arrangement is unconstitutional and have known that it
could be the subject of litigation since at least 2010,” Berger wrote.
The Special Litigation Section entered into a settlement after previously investigating
the mental health treatment system in New Hampshire, but did not include the Secure
Psychiatric Unit.
“This is a circumstance that raises concerns … about whether the state of New
Hampshire was forthcoming about the existence of the SPU with officials investigating
its mental health system, as it should be part of any such settlement but is not,” Berger
wrote.
The complaint recommends that the Secure Psychiatric Unit be removed from the Men's
Prison in Concord and be relocated to a new, secure facility or wing within the New
Hampshire Hospital. It also recommends transfring control of the Secure Psychiatric
Unit from the Department of Corrections to the Department of Health and Human
Services.
Cushing, who serves on the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, said
after 30 years, it’s time for a change.
“Unfortunately for 30 years New Hampshire has been an outlier when it comes to the
treatment of people with severe mental illness,” Cushing said.
He believes it is the Legislature’s responsibility to take action. Cushing hopes the study
committee reviewing legislation that he submitted last session to stop the practice will
recommend building an appropriate facility.
“It’s a source of shame for the state of New Hampshire and we should put an end to it,”
Cushing said.

Editorial: Move on long-ago juvenile offenders
By The Editorial Board
Pennsylvania prison officials have begun to furlough deserving long-time "juvenile
lifers." The process will be painfully slow, but many of these inmates are used to
waiting, some of them for decades. At least they have a glimmer of hope now.
Earlier this year the U.S. Supreme Court retroactively banned mandatory life terms for
juvenile offenders, so the state Parole Board is considering these old cases — 500 of
them in Pennsylvania, nearly a third of the national total — one by one. The board
recently paroled four of the first five "lifers" seeking release, all of them now in their 50s
or 60s. One of these is now 60-year-old Earl Rice of Delaware County, who snatched a
woman's purse in 1973. His victim hit her head and died of the injury. He's spent
decades in jail.
But with hundreds of cases to review, the process could take years. Inmates first must
undergo resentencing by a judge and only then, if they are granted a chance for parole,
must convince at least five of the nine parole board members that they no longer pose a
safety risk.
Reassessment of these inmates is long overdue. Decades of scientific research has
provided a better understanding of the teen brain that indicates for many of these
individuals, long imprisonment was probably unjust. The human brain develops slowly.
Juveniles just don't have the same sense of risk or the impulse control of adults. They
don't always understand consequences. Holding them to the same criminal bar as
adults is inherently unfair. The United States has been one of the only nations in the
world to impose life sentences on juveniles. Now, the Supreme Court says, that's
unconstitutional.
It will be up to the parole board to decide whether these adult men, many of them many
years after their conviction, still pose a safety risk to society. To the extent possible they
should expedite the process so that those inmates who have redeemed themselves can
start life again.

Judge sets May 1 for retrial of Msgr. Lynn in clergy sex abuse case
By Joseph Slobidzian
A Philadelphia judge has set May 1 for the retrial of Msgr. William J. Lynn, the first
Catholic Church official in the nation to be convicted over his supervision of priests
accused of sexually abusing children.
Lynn, 65, who was released from state prison Tuesday on $250,000 bail, said nothing
during the brief hearing Thursday before Common Pleas Court Judge Gwendolyn N.
Bright.
Unlike previous court appearances, in which he dressed in the black suit and Roman
collar of a Catholic priest, Lynn entered court in dark slacks and a light blue polo shirt,
looking thinner than at his first trial in 2012.
In addition to the new trial date, Bright ordered Assistant District Attorney Brian Zarallo
and defense attorney Thomas A. Bergstrom to file all pretrial motions by Dec. 12.
Zarallo told the judge he believed several days of hearings will be needed to decide how
much evidence from church personnel files on priests accused of sexually abusing
children will be presented to a jury in the new trial.
Lynn's first trial had 13 weeks of testimony, most of it in a review of records from the
Archdiocese of Philadelphia about investigations of about two dozen priests dating to
1940.
It was this historical evidence that resulted in December's 2-1 decision by a Superior
Court panel reversing Lynn's conviction and ordering a new trial.
The Superior Court ruled that the volume of historical cases that prosecutors used
tainted the jury's ability to reach a fair verdict. The District Attorney's Office asked the
state Supreme Court to reverse Superior Court, but the high court affirmed the ruling on
July 26, clearing the way for Lynn's release.
Zarallo said prosecutors will still use some of the historical evidence in the retrial but
how much will be agreed on after pretrial hearings.
Lynn was not accused of molesting children. Instead, prosecutors alleged that as
secretary for clergy - responsible for investigating allegations against priests and
recommending action - Lynn continued the church's long-standing practice of rotating
pedophile priests from parish to parish.
To establish that Lynn was part of the archdiocese's governing culture, prosecutors at
trial introduced historical information on clergy sex abuse and how Lynn responded to
parishioner complaints.
Bergstrom has criticized prosecutors' decision to retry Lynn, arguing that Lynn has
already served almost the minimum of the three- to six-year prison term imposed in
2012 by Judge M. Teresa Sarmina.

Dunmore man sentenced to 12 to 30 years in prison for sexually assaulting boy
By David Singleton
A Dunmore man will spend 12 to 30 years in state prison for sexually assaulting or
abusing an 8-year-old boy on at least seven occasions in the summer of 2014.
If and when he is released from prison, Louis Joseph Loney, 58, will be on probation for
five years and face lifetime registration as a sexually violent predator, Lackawanna
County Judge Vito Geroulo said in handing down the sentence Thursday.
Dunmore police charged Mr. Loney in October after he admitted engaging in sexual
activity with the boy, including fondling and oral sex.
The Times-Tribune does not identify the victims of sexual assault.
Mr. Loney, who pleaded guilty in February to involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with
a child and corruption of minors, told the judge he is sorry for his crime but just wanted
to get back to his wife of 24 years.
Judge Geroulo chastised Mr. Loney, expressing disappointment the defendant had
nothing to say about the impact of his actions on the victim.
“Your concerns seem to be as they were when you were doing this, for yourself,” Judge
Geroulo told Mr. Loney.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Mariclare Hayes asked the court to impose a lengthy
sentence. Although Mr. Loney had only one prior conviction — for simple assault — it
also involved violence against a child, she said.
The judge found Mr. Loney to be a sexually violent predator after hearing testimony
from Paula Brust, a member of the state Sexual Offenders Assessment Board who
evaluated the defendant and concluded he met the criteria.
Mr. Loney’s attorney, Curt Parkins, argued against the designation, challenging Ms.
Brust’s finding that Mr. Loney suffered from pedophilia disorder.
The finding requires “sustained interest” in a child, Mr. Parkins said, but the evidence
indicated all the incidents between Mr. Loney and the boy happened in June 2014.

Prison board advised of mental health services
By Mark Gilger
UNBURY — An official with Community Services Group (CSG) informed county prison
board members Wednesday that her agency has treatment programs available that can
reduce recidivism and improve the quality of life for inmates suffering from mental
illness.
Lori Humbert, senior program director for CSG, which has a local office in Sunbury, said
her agency is a mental health and intellectual program provider that improves treatment
protocols at prisons.
“We help people the best way we can,” she said. “Our programs are designed to reduce
recidivism and provide inmates with opportunities to improve their lives and make their
transition to the outside world as smooth as possible upon their release from prison.”
Humbert said CSG is looking for opportunities to provide services at the new county
prison that will be constructed at the site of the former Northwestern Academy in Coal
Township.
She said county officials, including prison and behavioral health employees, are
involved in CSG’s collaborative effort.
Humbert provided statistics regarding what she said is a vital need for mental health
programs in prisons.
According to the National Council for Behavioral Health, the largest mental health
inpatient settings in 44 states are prisons. Over the last 30 years, the amount of inmates
who suffer from mental illness has tripled. Nationally, 96 percent of prisoners return
directly to the community from jail with their often untreated health conditions. Among
nationwide prisoners with mental illness, 72 to 75 percent of them also have a cooccurring substance abuse disorder.
Prison board members may consider employing CSG’s services at the new prison.
Commissioner Sam Schiccatano said county officials plan to start meeting twice a week
to develop a definitive plan for the new prison so the architect, Buchart Horn, can begin
design work as soon as possible.
He said a meeting will be held at 1 p.m. today in the conference room at the county
administration center. Schiccatano said officials involved with the prison project also will
meet Friday at SCI-Coal Township to get recommendations from state officials about
the new prison.
In addition to Schiccatano and Northumberland County President Judge Charles Saylor,
who chaired the meeting, prison board members in attendance were District Attorney
Tony Matulewicz, Commissioner Kym Best and Controller Chris Grayson.
Commissioner Richard Shoch participated by teleconference and Chief Deputy Sheriff
Randy Coe represented Sheriff Robert Wolfe.

Costs keep adding up as Beaver County Commissioners, sheriff haven't resolved
budget issues
By Tom Davidson
BEAVER -- A county jail inmate who faced medical issues because of a tumor over the
weekend and had to be flown to a Pittsburgh hospital exemplifies the kind of
unexpected emergency that can cost the Beaver County sheriff's office thousands of
dollars, Sheriff Tony Guy said.
But it's also one of the duties the office is tasked with performing, the sheriff told the
county commissioners Wednesday.
The inmate required round-the-clock supervision by deputies from Friday through
Monday morning, when a judge released the person through an early-release program,
Guy said.
It costs about $1,200 a day in wages to supervise inmates who become hospital
patients, and those costs have to be incurred, Guy said.
"That's just the way things go," he said.
But it's become a bigger issue the last few years, and now those costs are "ballooning,"
he said.
"It's really something that's just out of control," Guy said.
The commissioners and the county prison board, which includes the sheriff, district
attorney, controller, a judge and the commissioners, have discussed the issue for much
of the year even as Guy has talked with officials several times about the sheriff's office's
budget.
He's faced with meeting a $3.1 million 2016 budget that's a $1 million cut from 2015,
and the commissioners have said they're going to hold him to that number -- something
Guy says isn't feasible.
On Wednesday, Guy told the commissioners he's awaiting about $41,000 in
reimbursements that aren't showing in the county's accounting tracking system.
The reimbursements include about $20,000 from the jail for inmate medical transports,
a cost that results from incidents like the one Guy cited from the weekend, and officials
have been debating whether the jail or the sheriff should bear that cost.
The commissioners devoted considerable time to these matters during their weekly
work sessions each Wednesday in July, when they and the sheriff outlined where they
stand, but they haven't addressed what happens when the sheriff's office exceeds its
budget, which will happen at some point before the end of the year, county Financial
Administrator Ricardo Luckow has said.
Guy didn't reiterate the financial needs of his office to commissioners on Wednesday.
He did say, when asked by commissioners Chief of Staff Joe Weidner, that formally
filling a lieutenant's position in the office would help.
"We've got a lot of administrative work that isn't getting done," Guy said.
The position is one of that was filled in April when Guy made moves that have been
held up by commissioners.
Then, Guy said he made decisions based on merit to promote part-time deputy Ralph
Ramanna to lieutenant to replace Lt. James P. McGeehan, who is one of five sheriff's
office employees who took a buyout offer made by the commissioners.
Guy also tried to promote part-time deputies Doug Hanna, Jen Bredemeier, Dave
Mangerie and Steve Montani to full time.
Those promotions have been opposed by the commissioners, and the deputies have
filed a grievance against the county. The matter remains unresolved.
Allowing the lieutenant to be added hasn't been expressly opposed by the
commissioners, and Weidner broached the subject because of that.
"There's a lot of work that needs to be done in the offices that we don't have the staff to
do," Guy said. "My command staff is doing deputy work."

Architect waives costs for work at former prison site
By Mark Gilger
SUNBURY — An architectural firm hired by the county to conduct services related to
work at the initial proposed site of a new county prison has waived any and all buy-out
costs associated with the project that was curtailed when the county commissioners
chose another location for the jail.
On a 2-1 vote, the county commissioners adopted a resolution that states Buchart Horn
will waive compensation, fees or penalties under the former contract for architectural
services at the former site of Moran Industries and Celotex manufacturing plant on
Susquehanna Avenue in Sunbury.

Bucks County Correctional Facility hiring as warden plans retirement
By James O'Malley
Bucks County Correctional Facility needs a new warden.
After 12 years, warden Terrance P. Moore will retire the first week of September, county
spokeswoman Juliet Kelchner said on Wednesday.
An ad for the position first appeared on the county's website Friday. Kelchner said the
posting is expected to stay online until Aug. 26, after which the county will conduct two
or three rounds of candidate interviews. The successful candidate will be hired at a
commissioners meeting.
How prison administrators will handle the inevitable weeks without a warden was not
clear Wednesday, Kelchner said, and might not become clear until after Moore's
departure.
The county is looking for an experienced administrator, according to the ad posted on
buckscounty.org. Starting salary will be based on experience.
Kelchner said a concrete baseline salary figure could not be determined Wednesday.
Moore was paid a salary of $115,420.
"No one is looking at a baseline, as they are looking for the best candidate out there, not
the one they can get for the least amount of money," she said.
Moore on Wednesday did not return a request for comment.

Suspected killer got out of jail on reduced bond four days before Harrisburg homicide
By Christine Vendel
HARRISBURG—A man arrested by Harrisburg police this week in connection with the
city's most recent homicide had been released from jail on a reduced bond just four
days before the killing.
Markus Williams, 29, was behind bars for reportedly threatening to kill a woman in June
who testified at his brother's murder trial earlier this year. But Magisterial District Justice
Paul Zozos reduced Williams' bond on July 26 from $25,000 "monetary," to
"unsecured," which allowed Williams to walk out of jail without having to pay a dime.
Less than four days later, police say Williams fatally shot Bryan Taylor in the early hours
of July 30 after Taylor walked into an argument between Williams and another person
outside a speakeasy in the 1400 block of Vernon Street.
The circumstances of the homicide linked to Williams bear eerie similarities to the one
police say his brother, John McDonald, 23, committed last year. Both brothers now have
been accused of killing a victim who intervened in an argument at an after-hours party
house.
Williams' criminal record includes a 2006 conviction for first-degree robbery and charges
filed in connection with three separate crimes this year prior to the homicide.
On March 7, police say Williams participated in beat down of two juveniles on a
basketball court. The juveniles were related to Todd Dunlap, who was fatally shot in the
head last year by Markus Williams' younger brother.
One of the juvenile victims said Williams kicked him in the neck during the March attack
after another brother slammed him to the ground, according to the police report. The
victim said he curled up in a fetal position and tried to protect his face. That's when
another brother pulled out a collapsible baton and hit him in the head. The group of
brothers continued to punch and kick him, according to the report.
A few days after the beating at the basketball courts at Reservoir Park, a jury convicted
McDonald of first-degree murder in Dunlap's death, which occurred at Forever Nite, an
after-hours club on South 19th Street. Dunlap had intervened after McDonald allegedly
assaulted a woman.
"Who puts their hands on women?" Dunlap said, his final words before McDonald hit
him in the head with a gun and then shot him in the head. McDonald then casually
stepped over Dunlap's body and left the club, according to trial testimony.
A few hours after the jury's guilty verdict, police said Williams and McDonald's mother,
Aquanetta Selvey-Gibson, and two of her teenage sons reportedly attacked a witness.
On June 3, Williams reportedly threatened to kill that same witness who testified for the
defense at Williams' brother's trial. She was one of several witnesses who saw
McDonald shoot Dunlap.
The witness told police that ever since she testified, she had been threatened and
intimidated on "numerous occasions by the family of the accused." On this day, when
she arrived home, she told police that Williams was waiting for her in front of her home.
He began running toward her, reaching under his shirt as if he had a gun.
"I'm going to kill you!" he reportedly shouted as he ran toward her. She jumped back
into her vehicle and fled.
Harrisburg police solved 16 of last year's 19 homicides. Three cases from 2015 remain
unsolved, gnawing at detectives and those victim's relatives.
Police filed terrorist threat and witness intimidation charges against Williams and
arrested him June 22. During the arrest, police found him with brass knuckles that he
admitted were his, according to the police report. He also discarded a zipper pouch of
synthetic marijuana, according to the report. Police on June 25 filed additional charges
related to the weapon and synthetic drugs.
The next day, Eric Alan Delp, the private attorney retained by Williams, successfully
requested the bail reduction from Paul Zozos in the witness intimidation case.
Earlier this year, Zozo's father, Magesterial District Justice George Zozos, made news
after he assigned a $25,000 monetary bond for a suspect in a shooting outside the
Third Street Café despite the district attorney's standing request for a minimum
$100,000 bond for gun crimes.
Glenn Walker Jr. posted the bond through a bondsman, and was later arrested for drug
possession, but got a bond reduction by Judge Joann Teyral. Walker was free on bond
on March 26 when police say he fatally shot Police Chief Thomas Carter's nephew,
John Thomas Carter, 36.
Setting bail is an "inexact science" and one of the toughest parts of a judge's job,
according to District Justice David H. Judy, who is assigned to cover the Middletown
area. PennLive interviewed Judy earlier this year after the Carter homicide.
"It's a very subjective decision," Judy said. "I've often said, you could bring a defendant
before 10 different judges and you might end up with 10 different bond amounts."
That variation is something District Attorney Ed Marsico said he would like to address.
His office is working to establish a risk assessment tool to help to triage the most
dangerous defendants and assist judges in setting bonds.

Allegheny County suspends jail sergeant charged with intimidation
By Jonathan D. Silver
A veteran Allegheny County Jail sergeant has been suspended without pay and
charged with threatening to put drugs in the food of a co-worker with whom he had a
relationship in order to deter her from proceeding with a criminal case against his
estranged wife.
Pleasant Hills police charged Sgt. Kenneth Rubel, a 13-year veteran, with one felony
count of intimidation of witnesses or victims.
Sgt. Rubel, 41, of Baldwin Borough, is under scrutiny by internal affairs investigators,
who are trying to sort out a messy domestic situation involving the sergeant, his
estranged wife, the female co-worker, several criminal cases and restraining orders.
Also suspended without pay was Jayme Ayre, an administrative assistant to the jail’s
director of nursing.
Ms. Ayre listed herself in court paperwork as a former live-in girlfriend of Sgt. Rubel’s.
She said they had been together for about seven months while Sgt. Rubel and his
estranged wife, Kelly Rubel, were in the midst of a divorce.
County police Inspector William Palmer, who oversees internal investigations at the jail,
declined to discuss the situation, calling it a personnel matter.
Sgt. Rubel said this evening, “I am not permitted to comment, as I am employed by
Allegheny County. I think that’s the policy of Allegheny County.” He then called a
reporter back and said, “This woman is full of lies and deceit and this is how she lives.”
Ms. Ayre said she anticipates returning to work after the internal investigation is
complete. She said she sent an email Wednesday to Warden Orlando Harper about the
situation at the jail with Sgt. Rubel and was visited today by an internal affairs
investigator.
“I’m just trying to get through it and trying to keep myself safe and my kids safe,” Ms.
Ayre said.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, Ms. Ayre on Tuesday got a protection-fromabuse order against Sgt Rubel from Allegheny County’s Family Court division. While
there, she claimed that he intimidated her.
“As I was getting on the elevator in the courthouse, a man stuck his hand in the elevator
door and Ken walked on the elevator,” Ms. Ayre’s written petition said. “When the
elevator came to floor 3, I tried to get off and he tried to block the door. I walked back to
the PFA office and he was walking so close behind me intimidating me and court staff
witnessed this.”
Sheriff William P. Mullen said an initial check with hi staff did not turn up any complaints,
video footage or information about any confrontation between Sgt. Rubel and Ms. Ayre
on the date and time in question.
In a written narrative, Ms. Ayre also claimed that on Saturday Sgt. Rubel threatened her
after an altercation involving Sgt. Rubel’s estranged wife, Kelly Rubel.
Ms. Ayre, 28, of Jefferson Hills, claimed that Sgt. Rubel had threatened to kill her and
had broken into Ms. Ayre’s house.
Ms. Ayre was granted a temporary restraining order; so was Sgt. Rubel.
In Sgt. Rubel’s petition against Ms. Ayre, he claimed that she told him there would be
problems if the two did not reconcile, called him more than 70 times, threw eggs at his
car and slapped him in the face. Ms. Ayre denied the allegations.
Separate from the allegations contained in the PFA petition against Sgt. Rubel are
additional accusations in the Pleasant Hills police affidavit.
According to the police paperwork Ms. Ayre told Pleasant Hills police Officer Steven
Onorad that on Sunday Sgt. Rubel “threatened to put drugs in her food if she had
charges filed against Kelly Rubel” regarding an alleged assault last month.
Sgt. Rubel also said “she better have the charges dropped against [Kelly Rubel]
because what she is doing is mean,” the affidavit said. The sergeant also said that “he
would try to [mess] with her job if she did not have the charges dropped and also try to
press harassment charges on her,” according to the paperwork.
Ms. Ayre told police that she felt threatened at her job and wanted no contact with Sgt.
Rubel.
Kelly Rubel, 39, of Jefferson Hills has been charged by Pleasant Hills police with simple
assault, disorderly conduct and harassment in connection with an incident Sunday at
the Monkey Bar on Clairton Boulevard in Pleasant Hills.
Police charged Mrs. Rubel with punching Ms. Ayre in the eye.

Koch Industries sponsors session on mass incarceration at Baltimore conference
By Yvonne Wenger
Koch Industries — owned by the billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch — is
sponsoring a plenary session on criminal justice reform and mass incarceration Friday
at the National Urban League's Baltimore conference.
Mark Holden, the company's general counsel, said a "moral, fiscal and constitutional"
case can be made for changing the country's criminal justice system.
"We're trying to do everything we can do to help people improve their lives and try to
make this a more free and open society," said Holden, a former guard in a
Massachusetts county jail.
The Koch brothers, known for their libertarian-leaning political activism, push for a host
of criminal justice reforms, including ending sentencing disparities, addressing
prosecutorial overreach and strengthening the right to competent and fair
representation.
Holden said the company says it wants to promote bipartisan reform and is working with
groups that may seem like "unlikely allies," such as the ACLU and NAACP.
"We're reaching out to more and more people, to as many groups as possible to build a
broad coalition," Holden said. "It's something everyone has a stake in … whatever color,
whatever religion, we're all impacted by it."
He is among a group of speakers scheduled for Friday's 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. session, "The
Burden of Mass Incarceration: Time for new Solutions." Also set to participate are
NAACP President Cornell William Brooks; Baltimore lawyer William H. "Billy" Murphy,
who represented Freddie Gray's family; and lawyer Benjamin Crump of Florida, who
represented Trayvon Martin's family.
Gray died in April 2015 after sustaining a spinal injury in police custody. Martin was shot
and killed by a Neighborhood Watch volunteer in 2012.
The session is expected to focus on "What can be done to steer efforts and resources
away from retribution to sustainable rehabilitation."
Holden said money saved from a "ratcheted down" criminal justice system could be
redirected toward "essential services," including education and mental health. The
criminal justice system is a "failed big government program" that picks winners and
losers, often based on wealth.
States, including Maryland, have financial incentives to make changes, he said.
"It's happening whether it's a red or blue state," Holden said.
The General Assembly approved a sweeping reform of Maryland's criminal justice
system this year, with the intent of reducing the state prison population and plowing
savings into crime prevention programs.
He said he wants to spotlight during the session the business community's role in exoffenders' re-entry into society. At Koch Industries, Holden said, they're in a "global
talent hunt" and want to find the best workers, with or without a criminal record.
Koch performs background checks when they extend conditional offers. Past
convictions are part of the discussion about whether to hire a job candidate, but don't
automatically disqualify applicants, he said.
"We're going to give everyone a fair shake," Holden said.
The conference, scheduled to run through Saturday, is also to feature a career fair,
health expo and high-profile speakers, such as White House adviser Valerie Jarrett and
U.S. Education Secretary John B. King Jr.

County, Kaiser foundation and others funding study by justice reform organization Vera
Institute
By Randy Kreibel
Tulsa County, the George Kaiser Family Foundation and what are described as “several
stakeholders” from “the nonprofit and foundation community” are ponying up $125,000
for a New York-based consultant to recommend changes to the county’s criminal justice
system.
Tulsa County’s incarceration rate has more than doubled in the past 25 years, and
quadrupled since the mid-1970s. Policymakers have in recent years advocated lighter
sentences for nonviolent offenses as a way to control burgeoning jail costs and return
offenders to the work force.
“Tulsa County already has a lot of initiatives in justice reform, but we can always use
more ideas,” said County Commission Chairwoman Karen Keith after that board on
Monday approved contributing $25,000 for an eight- to nine-month study by the Vera
Institute of Justice.
It was unclear who is putting up the rest of the money. The County Commission
resolution approved Monday only specifically mentions the GKFF, but with no amount.
The Tulsa Regional Chamber contributed $10,000, said Senior Vice President for
Government Affairs Nick Doctor.
“We’ve been more involved and a greater advocate for justice reform,” Doctor said. “It’s
become a pretty substantial workforce issue for us, when you have so many people
incarcerated and then when they get out they’re unable to get licenses and
certifications.”
The Tulsa Police Department will cooperate in the program, city spokeswoman Michelle
Allen said, but the city will not contribute financially to the study.
The Vera Institute has been working with Oklahoma County, which is under the threat of
civil rights action by the U.S. Justice Department because of its jail operations. The
institute has also consulted with New Orleans, Philadelphia, Los Angeles County and
New York City to reduce jail populations without compromising public safety.
The institute was founded in 1961, primarily to investigate New York City’s cash bond
system. It now works in three broad but related areas: securing justice, ending mass
incarceration and strengthening families and communities.
Three Vera team members visited Tulsa in April for preliminary discussions, and
afterward proposed a “comprehensive analysis of administrative data from the police
department, the court system and the jail” and assistance in developing reforms.

The state of women in prison
By Rev. Vivian Nixon
The U.S. incarcerates far more people than any other country in the world, yet only
recently have the stories of the nation’s incarcerated individuals begun to emerge. With
the exception of a very popular Netflix show, the plight of women in prison continues to
be overlooked and misunderstood, despite women making up the fastest growing
population in US prisons today.
Our mothers, sisters, aunts, neighbors, and friends make up the more than one million
women currently under the supervision of the criminal justice system in the United
States. Life for women behind bars is far from easy, especially when women face
serious gender-specific issues that men simply do not.
Women are more likely to have issues with mental illness or addiction, and more likely
to have minor children at home who depend on them. Instead of focusing on services to
help women deal with the issues of livelihood and survival that landed them behind bars
in the first place, we are incarcerating women for longer periods of time at a rate that is
frankly disturbing.
The female U.S. prison and jail population has increased by over 700% over the past
four decades, rising to 215,000 women, with black women more than twice as likely to
be in prison than white women.
When we factor in the role of socioeconomics and lack of education to understand who
is incarcerated and who’s not, we can see a disproportionate amount of female
incarceration as the issue of class and race that it is. I should know. I’ve spent the last
decade leading a non-profit called College and Community Fellowship, which helps
formerly incarcerated women put education at the heart of reentry in order to reach their
full potential.
Through the eyes of our students, I have seen firsthand the lifelong disadvantages—
and systemic injustices—that have landed so many women in prison. I’ve spoken with
women who have committed crimes to feed their kids, or as a result of mental illness
and addiction, or in some cases because crime had become a cycle of survival in their
families and communities.
According to The Sentencing Project, nearly half of women in state prisons have not
completed high school. Sixty percent were not employed full-time when they were
arrested, and nearly 1/3 had been receiving some kind of welfare benefits prior to
arrest.
To me, the causes of crime are complex. It is clear that a lot of women in prison are
people doing whatever they can do to feed their families and survive in a world where
they have not been given quality education or opportunities to thrive. Whether they are
deemed “criminals” by society or not, everyone deserves a second chance.
In a place like prison it isn’t easy to see a bright future upon release, but I want to
ensure that every woman in prison knows that education can provide a beacon of light.
The transformative powers of education have the ability to show that a future away from
the criminal justice system is possible, and that whatever dreams women have for
themselves prior to incarceration, don’t have to die with their sentencing dates. CCF
understands that women need a gender-responsive, individualized approach to reentry,
and that education is the strongest way to combat the stigma and barriers of a criminal
conviction.
According to the White House, job applicants with a criminal record are 50 percent less
likely to receive interview requests or job offers, a shocking number that only increases
for applicants of color. We help combat that at CCF, by hosting college and jobreadiness workshops, focusing on self-confidence, and helping women emphasize their
achievements when others try to reduce them to their past mistakes.
Yes, reform in this country needs to include better mental health and trauma services
for women in the criminal justice system. Yes, we need to look at alternatives to
incarceration that allow mothers in this country to rehabilitate themselves, while
continuing to care for their children. And no, we cannot overlook the transformative
powers education can have on those exiting the criminal justice system. We cannot
funnel our reentering population into minimum-wage jobs with no regard for their
personal skills and strengths.
However what women in prison need is more exposure. CCF is the only organization in
the country that focuses on the intersection of criminal justice, higher education, and
gender. We need more to be the voice of incarcerated women. We need more to
discuss the needs, desires, and aspirations of incarcerated women, who have been
ignored for too long.
We need to have an honest conversation about the state of women in prison, and
discuss how we can help. On August 9th at 2PM EST, CCF will be hosting a Twitter
TownHall on #WomenInPrison. I hope you will join us for the crucial discussion on the
issues facing women in prison right now as well as the struggles that await them when
they are released.
Quite often the biggest change, comes from a simple conversation, and we hope you
will join us in ours on August 9th as we seek to not only raise visibility of the issues of
#WomenInPrison, but to help galvanize collaborations and ideas for change.

Oklahoma joins hiring program for Army personnel, veterans
By TIM TALLEY
Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Department of Corrections became the first state
agency Tuesday to join a hiring program for U.S. Army active duty personnel and
veterans.
But Corrections Director Joe Allbaugh said it's uncertain how effective the agency's low
starting salaries will be in recruiting soldiers to help fill a shortage of correctional officers
in state prisons.
"That's going to be a real challenge," Allbaugh told The Associated Press following a
formal ceremony at the state Capitol to introduce the program known as the Partnership
for Youth Access.
Allbaugh said correctional officers in the state start as cadets at $12.78 per hour —
lower than other states in the region.
"It's pretty pitiful. It's a big issue," Allbaugh said. He said many other employers offer
comparable wages for jobs that do not involve the risks that correctional workers face.
"During an eight-hour shift their life is not on the line," he said.
Allbaugh said increasing the salaries of Oklahoma's correctional and probation workers
will be a top legislative priority for his agency in the 2017 Oklahoma Legislature that
convenes in February.
The PaYS hiring program provides soldiers, recruits and members of the Reserve
Officers' Training Corps a guaranteed interview for potential employment during their
time in the Army and after discharging. Although 47 private-sector Oklahoma
businesses are program partners, the Corrections Department is the first state agency
to use it.
Allbaugh said soldiers are taught leadership and discipline during their service, qualities
correctional officers need "to adapt to adverse situations at a moment's notice."
"We're underemployed in correctional officers. We're underemployed in probational
officers. Getting more and more of these individuals into those classifications will be
critical to ensure our state's safety," Allbaugh said. A total of 29,000 inmates are
currently incarcerated in state-operated and private prisons in Oklahoma, and another
31,000 people are on probation or parole, he said.
Gov. Mary Fallin said 30 percent of Oklahoma's correctional officer positions are vacant
and that having an opportunity to employ military personnel will be a way of getting
more correctional officers into state prisons.
"We want to make sure that our Department of Corrections employees are safe, that our
public is safe," Fallin said. "We also have an obligation to keep our inmates safe.
"We want to do everything we can to help our veterans be very successful," the
governor said.
Lt. Col. Jim Hill, commander of the Army recruiting command in Oklahoma City, said the
program will strengthen the Army's relationship with the state.
"Being part of the PaYS program will allow this agency to become stronger with the
quality and the qualified individuals who come out of the U.S. Army," Hill said.

Tennessee picks Aramark, another prison food provider with troubled past
By Dave Boucher,
After opting to end its relationship with a troubled state-based food provider, the
Tennessee Department of Correction chose a company with its own history of issues as
its replacement.
The department plans to award its food services contract to Aramark, a massive
Philadelphia-based company that provides food for many large venues across the
country, including Nissan Stadium.
"After the State and Aramark negotiate and finalize a contract, the expected start date
for food delivery will be October 1, 2016," the department said in a news release issued
late Wednesday.
The move marks the end of the department's food relationship with the Tennessee
Rehabilitative Initiative in Correction, also known as TRICOR. TRICOR provided the
department food through its cook chill program for years, until an audit from the state
Comptroller of the Treasury in late 2015 noted a slew of financial issues with the
program. The issues included no formal contract between the department and TRICOR,
a problem that forced the rehabilitation program to funnel $4 million toward the food
program that it had expected from the department.
"While the food service contract with TRICOR will come to an end, the partnership with
this agency will continue. TRICOR is and will continue to be a valued partner in
providing programming and job skills for the offender population," the department
statement said.
Lawmakers blasted the oversight of TRICOR, with state Sen. Ken Yager, R-Kingston,
calling for a change in leadership. After the release of the report, the department and
TRICOR announced they would eventually end their relationship. TRICOR CEO Patricia
Weiland also retired weeks after Yager said he'd "lost confidence" in TRICOR
leadership and others said a change in direction was needed.
"We are looking forward to partnering with the DOC to serve quality, nourishing meals
throughout the state’s facilities," Aramark Vice President for Corporate Communications
Karen Cutler said in an emailed statement.
The new direction for the department's food heads to a company that has its own
problems when it comes to serving prisoners. In 2015, the state of Michigan and
Aramark agreed to end their $145 million, three-year contract 18 months early after a
litany of problems with the company, according to the Detroit Free Press.
According to the Free Press, those problems included:
Meal shortages;
Maggots in the food;
Inmates served cake that had been chewed on by rodents;
Aramark workers reportedly smuggling drugs into prisons and engaging in sex acts with
prisoners;
Banning 176 Aramark employees from returning to work, including one who reportedly
tried to pay one inmate to attack a different inmate.
The state of Michigan fined Aramark $98,000 in March 2014 for some of these
problems, then waived the fine, then eventually fined the company $200,000 in August
2014 when the problems remained, according to the Free Press.
"The Aramark contract has been a nightmare from day one," Michigan state Sen. Jim
Ananich, D-Flint, told the newspaper at the time. "This completely irresponsible use of
taxpayer dollars has put hundreds of state kitchen employees out of work, and ...
jeopardized the health and safety of inmates and prison employees alike."
Cutler said Aramark has been a leading food provider for prison systems for 40 years
and most arrangements go well, but the Michigan contract didn't work out.
"Regrettably, the partnership with the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) did
not work out as both sides hoped, and that was disappointing. We are proud to have
served the state during a major groundbreaking shift to privatization and delivering on
our commitments to serve 65 million meals in MDOC facilities and save Michigan
taxpayers more than $25 million," Cutler said.
"We take full responsibility for all aspects of our performance while operating in a highly
charged political environment that included repeated false claims. Ultimately, we were
unable to resolve a number of shared issues and as a result we mutually agreed with
MDOC to end the contract."
A Tennessee Department of Correction spokeswomen didn't respond Wednesday
evening to questions about the allegations against Aramark from its work in Michigan.
The department's news release provided no information on any potential length or value
of its planned contract with Aramark.

In 'road trip' around N.J., Booker presses criminal justice reforms
By Michael Boren
Calling the United States the "incarceration capital of the globe," U.S. Sen. Cory A.
Booker (D., N.J.) recounted his visit to a federal prison Thursday, telling a Camden
audience about an inmate who told him of being locked up for decades for a drug crime.
U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (from left), U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman and the Rev. William N.
Heard of Kaighn Avenue Baptist Church during a panel discussion on criminal justice
and mass incarceration at the Camden church on Aug. 4, 2016.
"Who do we incarcerate?" Booker asked the gathering of more than 275 people at
Kaighns Avenue Baptist Church, and answered himself: the poor, the mentally ill,
minorities, and drug offenders.
Booker raised those concerns as he joined U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman and Camden
County Police Chief Scott Thomson to discuss criminal justice reform.
The event was part of a one-week "road trip," as Booker's staff called it, in which the
senator is visiting New Jersey's 21 counties to talk about criminal justice issues and the
people who are placed behind bars.
Booker, who reportedly made Hillary Clinton's short list for running mate, has denied
interest in running for governor next year.
In federal prisons, the number of inmates is nearly eight times what it was in 1980,
according to a report from the Bureau of Federal Prisons. The inmate population was
about 25,000 then. It is now nearly 194,000.
In New Jersey, the number of inmates in state facilities has dropped in recent years,
from around 25,000 in 2011 to slightly more than 20,000 this year, according to the
Department of Corrections' most recent report, issued in January. The department says
60 percent of the inmates are black and 36 percent are 30 or younger.
Booker spoke to the Inquirer shortly after he visited the Federal Correctional Institution
in Fairton, Cumberland County. He said his conversations with inmates and corrections
officers there had sparked greater urgency in him to push for expanded programs of
higher education and job training for inmates.
He said such programs make it less likely that former inmates will return to prison, and
save taxpayers money in the long run.
"You get a major return on that investment," Booker said.
The federal prison he visited is a medium-security facility with nearly 1,250 inmates, in
for crimes such as drug use and theft.
At the Camden event, Fishman, too, said that without educational programs, inmates
are left with nothing when their sentences end. That leaves them vulnerable to getting
involved in the same crimes that brought them to prison in the first place, he said.
Thomson talked about disparities in jail time between petty offenders and serious
criminals. As the criminal justice system exists, he said, someone with a parking
violation could sit behind bars longer than a dangerous individual carrying a gun.
"The system as a whole is fractured," he said.
Thursday's event came amid heightened tensions between police departments and
communities across the nation.
The fatal police shootings last month of Philando Castile, a passenger in a vehicle
stopped in Falcon Heights, Minn., and Alton Sterling, a street vendor, in Baton Rouge,
La., led to protests in many major cities and raised concerns about use of force and
racial profiling by police.
At the same time, states including New Jersey and Pennsylvania have proposed
extending hate-crime protections to police officers, since an apparently racially
motivated former soldier fatally shot five officers in Dallas on July 7, and a gunman in
Baton Rouge ambushed and killed three officers July 17.
Carl Boyd, 40, who attended the event and works at the nonprofit Center for Family
Services, where he tries to bring fathers closer to their children, said he wants to see
better relationships between police and communities across the U.S.
"Nationwide, it's definitely fractured," he said. In Camden, he said, he has had good
conversations with some officers, and wants more dialogue between police and
residents.

Food Delivery for Training
Importance:
High
Warden,
As you know, there’s a Heroin and Opioid Coalition Building Technical Assistance Training being held in the community
room on Wednesday, August 17, from 9:00 to 2:00. This will be for 10 – 12 of our coalition members and a team of 15 or
so from Cambria County.
The trainers have made arrangements for Panera to deliver a light breakfast (most likely coffee, tea, juice, scones/Danish)
and lunch (assorted sandwiches/salad) which is being paid for by PCCD.
Is it okay for Panera to deliver the food by coming through the public lobby entrance?

Wellness Tip August 8, 2016
The question to ask when buying fish for dinner
Posted By David Schardt
When you walk into a store and say, for example, “I want cod,” you’ll get whatever cod is available,
from wherever, says Barton Seaver.
But if instead you say, “I want whatever seafood is freshest and best fits my budget,” you’ll get a
better piece of fish, because you’re asking for quality, not for a species.
Seaver is director of the Healthy and Sustainable Food Program at the Center for Health and the
Global Environment at the Harvard School of Public Health and serves as Senior Advisor in
Sustainable Seafood Innovations at the University of New England.
“In America, we eat about 16 pounds of seafood per person per year. And about 95 percent of that
comes from only ten species. And three of them—salmon, shrimp, and tuna—account for more than
60 percent of our seafood consumption,” Seaver explains.
Not the only fish in the sea
In American fisheries alone, there are hundreds of available commercial species, yet we eat only ten.
We have the most robust fishery management in the world, but we do not take best advantage of
what the oceans can provide, Seaver contends. [2]
“When a cod net is drawn back into a fishing boat, up with it comes pollock, cusk, ling, whitefish,
dogfish, monkfish, wolffish, you name it. Yet when that fisherman goes back to the dock, only the
cod commands a high price,” he says.
None of those other species are commercially valuable. In fact, many of them are money-losers
because of the ice, the labor, the gas, the space in the hold, and all the expenditures that go into
catching the fish. So it often goes overboard dead.
“We’ve created a system that skews toward waste and skews toward demand, rather than supply,”
Seaver argues.
A better way of cooking
“Each of those unfamiliar species is absolutely delicious when treated as it should be,” says Seaver.
But if you cook different types of fish like bluefin tuna and cod the same way, you are not going to
get the same result.
Cooking similar fish like cod and dogfish and wolffish and monkfish and pollock and haddock and
hake and cusk is not all that different, he notes.
“My favorite way to cook those fish is to just turn the oven to 275 degrees, lightly salt and oil the
fillet with olive oil, and throw it in.”
Your fish is going to take 25 minutes to cook. But you’ll get all of that succulent meat, with all of the
moisture and richness in the fish, instead of having it dried out by high heat, Seaver says.
You’ll have fish done to perfection, not scorched under the broiler at 700 degrees. The difference
between undercooked and overcooked at 700 degrees is a scant 30 seconds. The difference in a 275
degree oven is a more forgiving 10 minutes or so.
And you might save money, too.
A fish like cod is king and commands a high price. But if you put cod in the category of “flaky white
fish,” it has a whole host of company, advises Seaver. You can then find the most-available, freshest,
best-priced species of “flaky white fish” and then cook it simply.

On the above date and approximate time, Inmate Brown approached me with a question, in regards
to, what they should do about a female that is throwing up after every meal and refusing to clean it
up. I asked if the females had pulled her aside and talked to her personally about cleaning up after
herself. Inmate Cresswell was there for the conversation and added that she made an announcement
to the unit about cleaning up after themselves, during these types of situations. Inmate Brown and
Cresswell both stated that Inmate Markus had been throwing up in the toilet, but then, started to
- throw up in the showers, after the announcement was made about cleanliness. Medical was noti?ed
of this behavior, so that, they could ask the inmate about possible bulimia, which Inmate Markus is

West Corridor Egress- Emergency Key Set
The SKD 3 Key was added to the Emergency Key Box in the Shift Commander’s Office. The SKD 3 Key is for the Outside
Door at the end of the hallway in the West Corridor (Work Release).
The Key Ring is labeled “West Corridor Egress”.
Note the end of the West Corridor has a slider that always remains closed. The Master Slider Key (SKD 23) is on the
Control/Sliders Key Ring in the key box. In the event that Central Control goes down you’ll need both key rings to access
the outside.
The Key Box is now set up to allow us to egress out any direction of the facility. A reminder that to egress to the South
(Staff/Visitor/Work Release Entrances), the door magnet relays in Central Control need to be removed. When the relay
is removed the magnet deactivates. If you need a refresher on where the relays are located in Central let me know.
As always any questions, comments, or concerns please let me know.

. with CO Sayers. At approximately 17:18, Visitor Kasha Perry entered the visitation sally port. Perry
was signed up for a 17:30 visit with Inmate Troy Battles (13-1349). CO Carozzoni informed me and
CO Sayers that this persons visitation privileges had been suspended due to a previous documented
. incident with hiding a phone on the property during her visit. Before entering the sally port, CO
Sayers and I observed her walking across Rishel Hill Road into the bushes, then returning to the sally
port. Perry pressed the intercom in the visitation sally port and I asked her what I could help her
with. She told me she was here for a visit with Troy Battles. At that time I told this visitor that her
visitation privileges had been suspended due to her hiding her phone on the property at her last visit.
Perry then said, ?Where is your fucking proof, you are all a bunch of gossipers, I want to see your
video! That is fucking hearsay and you don?t fucking know anything!? She also expressed that we (the
of?cers) were all ?fucking assholes?. Perry was also pointing her ?nger through the glass at C0
Carozzoni who was the visitation of?cer calling her a ?fucking bitch? and yelling at her to ?open the
fucking door?.
I informed this visitor that information is passed along to the of?cers and I was personally informed
that her visiting privileges were suspended until further notice. The visitor, Perry, told me I was a
?dumb bitch? and I was lying about the incident. At this point, Perry yelled, THIS FUCKING
DOOR and was repeatedly pressing the intercom buttons in the sallyport (C502 and CSOZA). I
i told Perry that I was not opening the door for her and she needed to leave the property. She once
again yelled, IS FUCKING BULLSHIT, I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE WARDEN OR WHO EVER IS
IN I said the Warden was not here and once again that she needed to leave the property.
i Perry said that she ?wasn?t fucking leaving?. While notifying the Lieutenant Mendez and Lieutenant
Bullick about the situation, Perry continued to yell in the sally port things such as, ?You fucking
. assholes, stupid fucking bitch? at the glass towards the visitation lobby and kept repeatedly pressing
the intercom buttons.
I On the above date and approximate time, I CO L. Miller was the of?cer in Central Control along
At approximately 17:25, the lieutenants and CO Luzier entered the visitation lobby. Perry said, ?Oh
here we go, I?ll take all 3 of these motherfuckers?. Lieutenant Mendez and Lieutenant Bullick talked to
. the visitor in the sally port and refused to leave after being ordered to. When the Lieutenant?s tried to
shut the door, Perry blocked the door (CSOZA) so it wouldn?t shut but did so unsuccessfully. After the
. door was shut, Perry stayed in the sally port and continued to yell profanities at the of?cers through
the glass into the visitation lobby. Lieutenant Mendez asked me to notify the State Police and have
them send an officer to escort Perry off of the property. While standing in the sally port, Perry looked
. into the visitation lobby and said will threaten your fucking life". At approximately 17:38, Perry left
I the visitation sally port, walked towards Rishel Hill Road and I noti?ed the State Police at Rockview of
7 the incident. I told the dispatcher at Rockview State Police that there was a visitor refusing to leave
I the property and was acting unruly. I told dispatch the visitor?s name and they said they would send a
car over to escort her off of the property. After crossing Rishel Hill Road, this visitor walked back
through the visitor?s parking lot, lit a cigarette, and proceeded to walk off the property.
At the time of report, State Police at Rockview had not come to the facility for any further
information.

Re: Policy 413: Inmate Grievances
Effective immediately, Facility Policy 413: Inmate Grievances will be re-titled 413: Inmate
Requests and Grievances. The following changes are effective in the first paragraphs:
Most routine matters or questions can be handled by speaking with the housing unit
officer.

request to the appropriate staff member on an Inmate Request Form. There is a locked
Request box on all housing units for submission of these forms.
Each night, the Shift Commander for 11-7 shift will collect and review the requests from
every housing unit box. The Shift Commander will ensure that the requests are directed
to the appropriate staff member and handle or investigate any urgent safety/security
matters which are identified. The Shift Commander will put his/her last name and the
date reviewed on the appropriate lines at the bottom of the request when reviewing the
requests prior to distributing to the appropriate staff member for handling.
Request slips with the appropriate lines on the bottom for Shift Commander review will be
distributed today and placed on the I: drive. Please replace all old request slips in the units with
the new version.

Subject: Directive - Inmate Requests
All staff,
Please find attached a directive amending the Inmate Grievance policy to deal further with request slips, as well as
grievances. Our goal is to always handle inmates’ issues with the most direct way possible, starting with speaking to the
unit officer. The policy has always reflected that.
The next step, if the officer cannot resolve, is an inmate request. We have found that often inmates, despite our best
guidance, don’t know who to put their concerns to and spend quite a bit of time directing requests to the wrong person
to handle an issue. To ensure that the request slips are being reviewed and handled by the right party, the 11-7
Lieutenants will now gather and review all the nightly requests. Anything urgent that related to the safety/security of the
facility they will handle right away. All others will be directed to the right party to handle the request.
3-11 staff will still bring up their other paperwork nightly as before, but the Lieutenants now possess the key to the
request boxes to gather those.
3-11 will be given the new requests to replace the old, and I will have it on the I: drive folders shortly. It will take a little
while for any old requests to get through, but please make sure the ones in the drawer for distribution are replaced right
away.
If you have any questions about this, please get in touch with the on duty Shift Commander.

1. Announcements/Welcome
a. Heroin/Opioid Training (TAC Training), Wednesday, August 17, 2016 from 9
a.m. – 2 p.m. at CCCF
i. Gene gave a little background on how the TAC training came about
ii. The purpose of the TAC training is to aide in creating a coalition to fight
the heroin and opioid epidemic
iii. The maximum number of individuals who can attend the training from the
Coalition is 15 – there are some individuals who are required to attend and
they include representatives from the Coroner, DA, D&A, and Probation
offices
iv. The registration deadline is August 6th
v. If there are any extra spots, Gene will be in contact with those who are not
already registered
b. Introduction of new members
i. Gene Introduced Andy Moir from United Against Heroin
2. Updates
a. Town Hall Event Recording Available Online and Being Aired by C-NET
i. CNET has posted the recording of the TH meeting to their website and
they will also be airing it on Channel 7 on the following dates:
1. Wednesday, August 10th at 10:00 pm
2. Thursday, August 11th at 7:00 am
3. Friday, August 12th at 2:30 pm and 6:00 pm
4. Sunday, August 14th at 1:30 pm
ii. CNET also contacted Gene to see if we will want the next TH meeting
recorded – he told them most likely
b. Parties interested in joining the HOPE Initiative
i. Subsequent to the TH meeting, we have been contacted by a few
individuals wanting to be involved with the HOPE Initiative
8/3/16 HOPE Initiative Meeting Notes
ii. In response, a generic email was sent to them thanking them for their
interest and asking if they have a specific interest or expertise regarding
the Initiative
iii. The email also explained that we are focused on completing the TH series
and we will be in contact in the near future to get them involved
iv. The State College YMCA and PSU are also interested in getting involved
– Gene will reach out to them
3. July 26th Town Hall Debriefing
a. What was good?
i. The panel was great
ii. Could hear best with microphone
iii. The intro was great at opening eyes to what the problem is
iv. An employer learned what to look for to recognize if his employees are
using – ex: wearing long sleeves in the summer time
v. Never imagined so many important people and officials would be present
at the town hall meeting
vi. Left the TH meeting with wanting to know more
vii. Appreciated the personal experience from the panelists – the message that
this can happen to anyone was clear
viii. Tremendous interest
ix. Questions answered very well
x. It was good that the audience questions were asked/answered as opposed
to all canned questions
xi. The television and newspaper coverage reached CCCF inmates and some
of them felt extremely positive about it and are hopeful that it will bring
awareness to the epidemic
xii. Panel was facilitated well
xiii. Parking and location was great – where we choose to have the meetings
shows who is behind it
xiv. Individuals in the recovery community are very interested in becoming
involved
b. What needs to be worked on?
i. The law enforcement (LE) portion came across as being more from a
public health standpoint than law enforcement
1. To cover the LE portion, have a presentation in the prevention TH,
then do a presentation subsequent to the TH series specific to law
enforcement
ii. Explain supply chain and the transfer from prescription opiate abuse to
heroin use
iii. Help and explanation of navigating the legal system
iv. Have LE explain what to look for and provide the education in identifying
whether it is drug abuse related or just moody teenager behavior to keep
from alarming parents
v. Keep on track with three planned TH meetings then after the series, create
subcommittees that are more specific to each topic
8/3/16 HOPE Initiative Meeting Notes
vi. Don’t have every panelist answer every question – it took up too much
time and some of the answers were redundant
vii. Moderator was too quiet
viii. Sound system was an issue
ix. Moderator could have taken more control
x. Opening was too long
xi. All three commissioners closing at the end was too much
xii. Have a language discussion
1. Ex: substitute addict with individual suffering from an addiction
xiii. People who become addicted play some role in being addicted – discuss
accountability, personal responsibility, more background on how
individuals become addicted, stigma
xiv. Too much information packed into two hour time frame
xv. Have moderator separate from panelists
xvi. Discuss the lifestyle and addiction gap
xvii. Discuss how today’s culture it is more acceptable to smoke marijuana and
do heroin/opiates
xviii. Talk about the economic impact of the epidemic – especially restaurants
xix. Some of the CCCF inmates who saw coverage on the TH meeting were
very skeptical – is the HOPE Initiative actually going to do anything, are
they going to help those with addiction
1. Need to make sure they we show results and take action
2. Danielle is going to speak with the inmates again to see what they
would like to actually see happen and what will keep them from
relapsing upon release – would be great feedback
xx. Have a bigger venue
1. Steve is going to reach out to Mount Nittany Middle school to see
if their auditorium would be available for the next two TH
meetings
xxi. Have a stage for panelists or presentations
xxii. Hold TH meetings on smaller scales with individual communities after the
three TH series
1. Amish community is very interested as they are not only being
affected by the epidemic within their own community, but many
see it from the EMS standpoint as many volunteer with EMS and
fire departments
c. Unanswered Questions
i. The treatment and prevention related questions are going to be reserved
for the second and third town halls
ii. For all of the other unanswered questions, the members are all going to
take a look at and answer them
1. Send all question answers to Gene and Eileen to compile the
answers
2. Judge Ruest, Chief Conrad, and Tom Young will take care of
answering the legal questions – we need to make sure we stick to
the facts and do not cross the line of giving legal advice

4. Next Town Hall Meetings

for a separate event
viii. Use the TH as an outline of the problem then provide them with the

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
facility.

suggest/talk about this as part of their parole plan
Educating about collateral consequences of entering a plea
Fine tune what we are already have implemented or are working on before beginning
anything else
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.

Life Skill Subcommittee Meeting
Importance:
High
Good Morning All:
I apologize for taking so long to do this but I’m scheduling a meeting (the first meeting) of the Reentry
Life Skills Subcommittee for 3:00 PM on Wednesday, August 10, in the county correctional facility
(CCCF) conference room. For those of you who may not have been to the CCCF before, visitor
parking is on the right when you enter the site and the public entrance is adjacent to this parking
area. Enter through the public entrance where you will need to pass through a security
checkpoint. Tell the officer at the desk that you are here for the meeting in the conference room.
The task of the subcommittee is to look at enhancing Life Skills programming “to include PREP
Housing, Resocialization, and other life skills that returning citizens would benefit from when returning
to the community”. This was to include looking how to improve the transition from
services/programming returning citizens received while incarcerated to services in the
community. The first order of business for the subcommittee will be to select a chair.
Please email me at elauri@centrecountypa.gov to let me know if you will be able to attend. Thanks
Gene

It has to do with what's called Black August.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons, Sacramento Intelligence Unit and the FBI's National Gang
Intelligence Center have issued a bulletin to law enforcement, warning of increased risk for
violence during Black August
The prison gang Black Guerilla Family or BGF started Black August in the 1970's as a month
to honor fallen members.
The bulletin warns an inmate source: "Claims the BGF has a 2-for-1 kill policy." That the BGF is
"going to kill correctional officers and Aryan Brotherhood gang members to send a firm
message. And the attacks will occur across the country, not just in California, and will likely
occur during the BGF's memorial celebration of Black August.
Also included in the bulletin is the FBI's Baltimore office reports, "BGF members reportedly
discussed how they could ambush law enforcement officers who were parked in alleys or side
streets."

Wellness Tip August 6, 2016
Grilled Sweet Potato Fries
Save the oil for something else because these Sweet Potatoes get fried on the grill. The only oil you need is
about 1/4 cup to get them crispy. While they grill they get brushed with a salt and lime vinaigrette that adds
all the flavor these need to be great.
Ingredients
6 large sweet potatoes
1/4 cup/60 mL vegetable or olive oil
juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons/30 mL salt (coarse salt works best)
1 tablespoon/15 mL oregano
1 teaspoon/5 mL cumin
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
15
Yield: Serves 8 to 10 as a side dish
Preparation
1. Heat a large pot of water to a boil.
2. While it is heating, cut off the pointy ends of the sweet potatoes. Then cut in half lengthwise and each
half into three or four wedges, depending on the size. Drop the wedges into the boiling water and let cook
for about 5 minutes, while you light the grill.
3.Remove sweet potato wedges from the water and place on a couple of paper towels on a large plate and
allow time to drain, about 5‐6 minutes.
Mix together oil, lime juice salt, oregano, and cumin.
4. Using a large pair of grilling tongs and a folded piece of paper towel, apply several coats of oil onto grill
grates.
5. Immediately start brushing about 1/2 of lime‐oil mixture onto the potatoes, turning them over until they
are all coated in seasoning mixture. Place onto grill and cook for a few minutes. Reduce temperature, or
move to a cooler part of the grill and continue grilling until done. Brush with remaining lime‐oil mixture
during cooking process. Sweet potato fries should be soft through the middle, but firm enough to hold
together.
6. Once cooked, remove from grill and arrange onto a platter. Serve with a dipping sauce or aioli of your
liking. These also go really well as a side dish to grilled fish, chicken, pork, and even hamburgers.

the above date and approximate time, Joshua Lee Powell was brought into Central Booking by
Troopers Maggs and Harris of the State Police, Rockview. He had a Fingerprint Order
and a Commitment to the jail.
After the Troopers left and I started the booking process, Mr. Powell asked if Inmates here were
permitted to write to each other. I told him no, but that he could seek permission from the Warden.
He stated that his girlfriend, Micki Stover, was committed sometime this morning. He then asked
again about writing back and forth and I gave him the same answer. Mr. Powell asked if I could let
her know that he was here. I again told him no and added that we are not permitted to nor will we
pass messages. He asked me at least two more times if I would just let her know that he is here.
Again and again, I told him no.

On the above date and time I was working the BI housing unit when I was noti?ed to send Inmate
Brooks to the small classroom for a program that he had signed up for. As I told Inmate Brooks to get
ready for his program, he informed me that he wasn?t going. I told Inmate Brooks that he had to
i attend the program that he signed up for unless he had put a sick call in today. Inmate Brooks had
stated to me that he had put a sick call in last Friday on 7/29/16. Inmate Brooks then said that he
3 was not going and that he wanted to speak to a Lieutenant. I noti?ed Lieutenant Jeirles of the
situation and I was told to tell Inmate Brooks that if he did not go he would receive a misconduct. I
- then relayed the information stated above to Inmate Brooks. At this time Inmate Brooks said that he
would attend the program, so I open his cell and as the inmate was exiting his cell he began to ask
?yo why you always trying to harass me?? ?I?m just trying to do my time and every time you come
onto the block you start harassing me.? I informed Inmate Brooks that I was not harassing him and
that if you sign up for a program you must attend unless you put in a sick call that day.
At approximately 18:22 Inmate Brooks exited the BI housing unit to attend the program that he had
signed up for. Inmate Brooks returned to the BI housing unit at 18:27 hours and stated to Of?cers

FCC Approves Revised ICS Rates
Dear Richard,
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
yesterday adopted an order to cap rates on inmate
calling services (ICS) that recognizes costs incurred by
facilities and providers associated with providing the
services to help assure continued availability and
development of ICS moving forward.
While the rates are lower than the 2013 interim rate
cap of 21 cents a minute for interstate long-distance
calls, they are higher than the rates established in the 2015 order. What's more, the
rates recognize the differences between jails and prisons and the size of facilities.
"Although not perfect, we applaud the FCC for working toward fair, just, and
equitable rates for inmate calling services," said American Jail Association (AJA)
Executive Director Robert J. Kasabian. "AJA has long held that rates need to be fair,
just and reasonable for all concerned, and that includes our Nation's jails."
"The Order adopted by the Commission builds on its landmark
inmate calling service reforms of 2013 and 2015 by responding
to issues raised in the record of the proceeding since then," said
the FCC's press release. "The FCC's careful review showed that
a modest increase in the rate caps set in 2015 is warranted. By
covering the legitimate costs of jails and prisons, this
adjustment will ensure continued availability and development
of inmate calling services, while still resulting in significant
savings for inmates and their families."
1
AJA President Wayne Dicky said "Keeping families in touch with their incarcerated
loved ones is an important aspect of the criminal just system. This order will help
assure that connection continues."
AJA, along with others representing facilities, had argued that costs associated with
providing service should be covered.
The FCC, in its order, recognized that there are higher costs in small institutions and
proposed the new rates for debit/prepaid calls as follows (2015 rate caps in
parentheses):
State or federal prisons: 13 cents/minute (11 cents/minute)
Jails with 1,000 or more inmates: 19 cents/minute (14 cents/minute)
Jails with 350-999 inmates: 21 cents/minute (16 cents/minute)
Jails of up to 349 inmates: 31 cents/minute (22 cents/minute)
Rates for collect calls will be slightly higher in the first year and will be phased down
to these caps after a two-year transition period. Approximately 71 percent of inmates
reside in state or federal prisons, and approximately 85 percent of inmates reside in
institutions with populations exceeding 1,000.
The FCC's inmate calling rate cap functions as a ceiling, not a floor, and so does not
prevent states where calling costs are lower from reducing rates further. The Order
adjusts the FCC's 2015 rate caps, which were blocked by a court stay pending
appeal.
The vote was not unanimous with Chairman Wheeler, Commissioners Clyburn and
Rosenworcel approving and Commissioners Pai and O'Rielly dissenting.
AJA will continue to monitor this and keep our members informed.

PREVENTION QUESTIONS:
1. Where do we start in the overprescribing of opioid medications? Does it start with educating
the people of educate prescribers more about pain management, especially in children?
2. Why is there such an emphasis so far in the presentation on HEROIN? This is very misleading.
The issue is OPIATE addiction. At least half of the people addicted to narcotics in Center County
are using prescription pain medications, mostly obtained legally from doctors in the community.
As a medical doctor in this community, I feel that there should be more emphasis on preventing
addiction caused by doctor’s prescribing practices.
3. Why do many doctors, especially in ER settings, tend to give a prescription for pain killers for 30
days when, perhaps, it could be cut to 5 days with a follow up visit scheduled?
4. As a practicing physician, I am aware that prescribing habits have a large and direct impact on
drug abuse and diversion. Part of the prevention needs to educate and re‐educate prescribers,
limit access quantities and type of analgesics that are prescribed. Health care administrators,
physician leaders, insurance companies all need to stand up, take responsibility and change.
5. What kind of instruction are our children receiving in SCASD? Do they view a video like we did?
What are the barriers to educating our children properly in school? I can teach my child but
some parents cannot and this endangers my child.
6. As a representation of a local school district, knowing heroin is not an adolescent issue but more
a concern what do you recommend for prevention at an early age? Education? What is primary
age range of 43 deaths in Center County?
7. Will there be more education passed around to our schools?
8. In terms of prevention, what do “we” do currently? At what age should we be teaching our kids
about the dangers of drugs? What does the research indicate as the best way to educate and
hopefully prevent drug addiction? How can we improve, get the message to more kids?
TREATMENT QUESTIONS:
9. Why is treatment so hard to find? Addicts usually do not have work (income) or medical
insurance.
10. A lot of heroin/drug, alcohol addicts DO NOT have health insurance. Many get medical
assistance. A lot of rehabs do not accept state insurance. How can we change this?
11. Will there be more centers or medical offices opened in Centre County where a heroin addict
can receive vivitrol injections? Why such a shortage of Vivitrol currently if the problem is so
severe?
12. How do we change the mentality that 30 days of rehab from heroin addiction is not long
enough. Heroin addiction cannot be solved in 30 days. Longer rehab time is needed. What can
be done?
13. Is there a movement on a detox here? We send clients counties or even states away and with a
10‐20 day wait time. We desperately need a detox. 10‐20 days is often way too long to wait.
14. As a treatment professional in CC for the past 10years, I keep seeing patients who come from
being over‐prescribed at the same 3 pill mill docs. If the DEA wants to clean things up, why are
these guys still there?
15. Why don’t doctors who prescribe opiates to the elderly (or anyone really) have to tell the
patient that they can get the top tier DUI simply for having the opiate in their bloodstream?
16. ½ way and ¾ way home in our town. We send our kids to the cities. There are no ½ homes in
our area. We have the problem in our area so we should take care of our own in our county.
Why are ther no transition homes in our area?
17. Dr. Tom Frieden of the CDC said that opiates “rewire” the brain. How is this “component” of
drug treatment addressed? (Aside from the physical dependence and etc?) Why are
substitutions the only approach? Suboxone, methadone, do these address what happens to the
brain? Do physicians read the ENTIRE contents of clinical pharmacology of opiate meds or are
some like members of congress who admit to not reading the entire bill and it becomes law?
18. I have a concern about how difficult it is for an addict to recover even with the best possible
treatment. Don’t we need to be more honest about that? Returning to drugs after you have
become clean is an even greater source of shame.

All:
Quarterly is fine. It is nice to be able to know and talk with all of you when we have a problem.
In discussions with Wardens from other Counties, this type of open lines of communication do
not exist. I agree with Judge Kistler that there is excellent communications between all of us. I
do still look forward to a quarterly meeting.
Thank You,

Subject: I love meetings as much as the next guy....
I love meetings as much as the next guy, but in light of the fact that there is such a direct communications link between
Kelly Carozzoni and the staff at CCCF, it seems to make sense to reduce the disruptions in all of our schedules, and to
meet only when a special need arises, and on a QUARTERLY basis. If this is OK, with all of you, we will cancel our
September and October meetings, and we will carry on starting in November, and go forward QUARTERLY thereafter.
Any objections? Any sighs of relief???

Subject: Request for Information
Greetings County Colleagues,
Lancaster County Prison, Deputy Warden Alex Croci, has requested the following information:
Are there any facilities in PA that allow their officers to possess personal firearms while they commute back and
forth to work?
If so, do they require that these firearms be secured in a lock box that is mounted in the officer’s personal
vehicle while this vehicle is parked on facility property? Or, is there another method to secure the firearms?
Please respond as you determine appropriate. You may respond directly to Deputy Warden Croci at:
acroci@co.lancaster.pa.us

Reduce Unnecessary Jail Use and Make Your County Safer EBDM at NACo 2016
07/29/2016 01:55 PM EDT
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC), in partnership with the Center for Effective Public Policy, built the
Evidence-based Decision Making Initiative (EBDM) to create gamechanging criminal justice system reform.
EBDM is a strategic and deliberate method of applying empirical
knowledge and research-supported principles to justice system decisions
made at the case, agency, and system level and seeks to equip criminal
justice local and state policymakers with the information, processes, and
tools that will result in measurable reductions of pretrial misconduct,
post-conviction reoffending, and other forms of community harm
resulting from crime.
Last week the National Association of Counties held their annual conference in Long Beach, CA. During the
conference, Gregg Moore, county board chair from Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, one of NIC’s EBDM sites,
was part of a panel on reducing unnecessary jail use. The other panelists were Ms. Julie Armstrong, Clerk of
Court, Charleston County, S.C., and Ms. Paula Tokar, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Population
Management Bureau.
The drive for change in Eau Claire County came from a need for a new jail facility, but here was limited
funding for the project. They decided to adopt the approach of being “smart on crime” rather than “tough on
crime”. Mr. Moore highlighted some of the changes they made in their county which target the reduction of the
jail population while protecting public safety. They implemented research-based processes including a precharge diversion program, releasing low-risk defendants without cash bail, and evidenced-based sentencing
practices. These changes are helping them meet their goal to more effectively allocate and use criminal justice
resources.

Obama shortens terms for 214 prisoners; 67 had life sentence
(Three individuals from Pennsylvania)
WASHINGTON (AP) ‐ President Barack Obama on Wednesday cut short the sentences of 214 federal inmates, including
67 life sentences, in what the White House called the largest batch of commutations on a single day in more than a
century.
Almost all the prisoners were serving time for nonviolent crimes related to cocaine, methamphetamine or other drugs,
although a few were charged with firearms violations related to their drug activities. Almost all are men, though they
represent a diverse cross‐section of America geographically.
Among them are two men from Philadelphia and one man from Delaware County.
Jose Del Valle, 57, of Philadelphia, had been sentenced in 2007 to life in prison plus 10 years’ supervised release on
charges of conspiracy and possession with intent to distribute cocaine. According to his indictment, Del Valle and two
other men conspired to deliver 26 kilograms of cocaine from Palisades Park, N.J., to Northeast Philadelphia in 2006.
Alberto Maisonet, 37, of Philadelphia, had been sentenced in 2005 to 21 years and 10 months in prison, plus eight years’
supervised release, after being convicted of possession and distribution of cocaine and related offenses. According to
the government's sentencing memorandum, Maisonet sold drugs to an undercover officer in North Philadelphia several
times in 2003.
John Nicholas Gargano, 48, of Folcroft, was also granted a commutation. He had been sentenced in 2004 in the Southern
District of New York to 20 years in prison plus 10 years’ supervised release, on charges of possessing and distributing
methamphetamines and ecstasy, and related offenses. He was also sentenced in 2010 for a separate drug charge.
With their commutations, the three men are expected to be released from federal prison Dec. 1.
Obama's push to lessen the burden on nonviolent drug offenders reflects his long‐stated view that the U.S. needs to
remedy the consequences of decades of onerous sentencing requirements that put tens of thousands behind bars for
far too long. Obama has used the aggressive pace of his commutations to increase pressure on Congress to pass a
broader fix and to call more attention to the issue.
One of the inmates, Dicky Joe Jackson of Texas, was given a life sentence in 1996 for methamphetamine violations and
for being a felon with an unlicensed gun. He told the ACLU in a 2013 report that a death sentence would have been
preferable, adding, "I wish it were over, even if it meant I were dead."
Another recipient, Debra Brown of Tennessee, was convicted of selling cocaine in 2002 and sentenced to 20 years. Both
Brown's and Jackson's sentences will now end Dec. 1, along with most of the rest of those receiving commutations
Wednesday.
17
All told, Obama has commuted 562 sentences during his presidency ‐ more than the past nine presidents combined, the
White House said. Almost 200 of those who have benefited were serving life sentences.
"All of the individuals receiving commutation today ‐ incarcerated under outdated and unduly harsh sentencing laws ‐
embody the president's belief that 'America is a nation of second chances,'" White House counsel Neil Eggleston wrote
in a blog post.
Eggleston said Obama examines each clemency application on its specific merits to identify the appropriate relief,
including whether the prisoner would be helped by additional drug treatment, educational programming or counseling.
He called on Congress to finally pass a criminal justice overhaul to bring about "lasting change to the federal system."
Presidents tend to use their powers to commute sentences or issue pardons more frequently at the end of their
presidencies, and Obama administration officials said the rapid pace would continue during Obama's final months.
"We are not done yet," Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates said. "We expect that many more men and women will be
given a second chance through the clemency initiative."
Though there's broad bipartisan support for a criminal justice overhaul, what had looked like a promising legislative
opportunity for Obama's final year has mostly fizzled. As with Obama's other priorities, the intensely political climate of
the presidential election year has confounded efforts by Republicans and Democratic in Congress to find consensus.
Obama has long called for phasing out strict sentences for drug offenses, arguing they lead to excessive punishment and
incarceration rates unseen in other developed countries. With Obama's support, the Justice Department in recent years
has directed prosecutors to rein in the use of harsh mandatory minimums.
The Obama administration has also expanded criteria for inmates applying for clemency, prioritizing nonviolent
offenders who have behaved well in prison, aren't closely tied to gangs and would have received shorter sentences if
they had been convicted a few years later.
Civil liberties groups praised that policy change but have pushed the Obama administration to grant commutations at a
faster pace. The Clemency Resource Center, part of NYU School of Law, said more than 11,000 petitions are pending at
the Justice Department and that the group believes 1,500 of them meet the administration's criteria to be granted.
But the calls for greater clemency have sometimes sparked accusations from Obama's opponents that he's too soft on
crime, an argument that is particularly resonant this year as presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
trade claims about who is best positioned to keep the country safe.
"Many people will use words today like leniency and mercy," said Kevin Ring of the group Families Against Mandatory
Minimums. "But what really happened is that a group of fellow citizens finally got the punishment they deserved. Not
less, but at long last, not more."

Gov. Tom Wolf's cost‐cutting initiative surpasses first‐year goal
By Colt Shaw
Flanked by cabinet officials and state workers Tuesday, Gov. Tom Wolf announced the success of his program to find
taxpayer savings in the last fiscal year through trimming the fat in government expenditures where possible, to the tune
of over $156 million.
That figure amounted to $6 million more than his $150 million goal, when the program was initially established as of a
February 2015 executive order to address the $2.3 billion deficit at the time.
The Governor's Office of Transformation, Innovation, Management and Efficiency, referred to in short‐hand as GO‐TIME,
surveyed spending across all state departments and found savings in the Department of Corrections, the Department of
Human Services, PennDot and the state park reservation system, among others.
According to Wolf spokesman Jeff Sheridan the cost savings came in four forms: actual dollar savings, cost avoidance,
increases in revenue and the value of staff time that results from increased efficiency.
"We need to make government run more efficiently. And this is incredibly important," Wolf said in Capitol Rotunda news
conference. "We can't simply say we're going to do less with less. We actually need to do more with less."
Wolf said the focus of the program, which he hopes can list $500 million in cost reduction by 2020, is to find oversights
in agencies' expenditures and savings for taxpayers where possible, while avoiding the slashing of necessary programs.
18
The intention is "to save money through reexamining government spending, in the search for cuts, and also efficiency in
government," Wolf said. "The whole point is to save taxpayer dollars."
Over 250 specific initiatives within the program aimed to reduce spending in state agencies, such as:
$68 million of the savings came through the Department of General Services, by way of "negotiated price reductions,
contract renewals and reverse auctions."
$2.5 million annual savings resulting from the consolidation of mailroom services and rearranging the way the General
Services carries out those services.
The Department of Corrections expects half a million dollars in yearly transportation savings by relocating inmates who
receive radiation to one location. An online voter registration system is also expected to reduce costs.
These and other savings, both in costs and man hours, gave the GO‐TIME initiative a final savings of $156,222,567 for
the year. (For full list of the initiatives, see below)
Not all of the savings included in the Governor's final tally were at the state level. Federal dollars were also included. The
Department of Human Services contributed to the savings by reducing the error rate in the state's SNAP benefits
allocation.
"When you're determining eligibility for food stamps, it can get kind of complicated," said Ted Dallas, Secretary of the
Department of Human Services. "You need to know income, number of kids ... and people make errors. So the federal
government tracks those errors, and our error rate was about 5% or so."
The error rate was closed by 3% during the project, bringing it from 95% to 98% accurate by the conclusion, and saving
around $40 million in spending in the process.
Not everyone is pleased with the announcement or the manner in which the tally was reached.
Rep. Seth Grove, a member of the Taxpayers Caucus, an informal group of conservative lawmakers that advocates fiscal
responsibility at the state level, said that the lack of hard documentation renders the savings flimsy at best.
"I haven't seen one financial document that verifies any of these savings," Grove said. Until the claimed savings, of which
cost avoidance is one factor, appear as physical cuts, the Governor is only paying "lip service" to fiscal responsibility,
Grove said.
"They come out with these fancy press releases and they haven't proven anything," Grove said.

Ex‐church official due in court 2 days after leaving prison
PHILADELPHIA (AP) ‐ A former Philadelphia church official is due back in court two days after he was released from
prison when his child‐endangerment conviction was overturned.
Monsignor William Lynn has served all but three months of his three‐year sentence since his high‐profile 2012 trial.
But Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams insists he will retry the case. A judge could set a trial date at the
Thursday morning hearing.
Lynn is the first church official ever charged or convicted over his handling of complaints that priests were molesting
children.
The conviction has twice been overturned, most recently when the state's top court said the trial judge let too many
church victims not directly linked to the case testify.
Lynn is free on bail and living with relatives.

Boy, 17, tried as adult gets prison in unborn baby's death
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A 17‐year‐old Pennsylvania boy will spend 22½ to 45 years in prison for shooting that killed another
teen's unborn child.
19
Eric Taylor, of Duquesne, was only 15 when police say he shot 15‐year‐old DaRae Delgado, who was seven months
pregnant, in May 2014. She survived but the child she was carrying did not.
Taylor was convicted as an adult of third‐degree murder, attempted homicide, aggravated assault, reckless
endangerment and three weapons charges in May.
Police say Taylor knocked on the door of the victim's home, covered the peephole and then opened fire when she
answered.
Taylor was sentenced Wednesday by an Allegheny County judge.
Taylor's attorney plans to appeal.

CARLISLE, Pa. (AP) — Authorities are investigating an apparent inmate suicide at a county jail in central Pennsylvania.
Deputy Warden Michael Carey tells The (Carlisle) Sentinel (http://bit.ly/2ahE15P ) that 46‐year‐old Richard Thorson, of
Newville, died Saturday at the Cumberland County jail. That's located about 20 miles southwest of Harrisburg.
Carey says he can't discuss details, including how Thorson allegedly killed himself but says, so far, nothing unusual has
been found.
Middlesex Township police and the county coroner were continuing to investigate.
Thorson has been jailed since March 24, when he was arrested for assault and endangerment charges stemming from an
incident three days before.

Recovering addicts tell state legislators Westmoreland County court rehab program works
By Paul Pierce
Jeffrey Patterson broke a smile and said he didn't expect a standing ovation from 18 members of a state legislative panel
who listened Wednesday to his emotional testimony about his drug addiction.
He said it made him feel good about himself, something he rarely experienced when he was using drugs.
“That was really very nice. I just hope I may have helped to keep our county's drug treatment court, because I know it's
helped me,” said Patterson, 57, of Greensburg.
Patterson testified as part of a joint Democratic and Republican state House Policy Committee studying the state's
opioid crisis during a public hearing at Westmoreland County Community College in Youngwood.
Just eight months ago, Patterson was more interested in finding his next fix of crack cocaine than rehabilitating his life
and his relationship with his daughter, he told the lawmakers.
When he appeared last year in Common Pleas Court, he was offered a choice: serve up to two years in jail or enter a
drug court treatment program the county launched in September.
Patterson chose the program and has been clean for eight months, he said.
He has never felt better about himself, he said, and the gesture by the legislators was another step in his ongoing
recovery and learning a sense of self‐worth.
“The realization in this program that (county) probation cares about my welfare ... working in constant unison with my
counselors and case management was an integral part of me believing in myself. Moreover, it has given me the strength
to ask others for help to feel better about myself,” Patterson said.
The drug court facilitators, Common Pleas Court judges Megan Bilik DeFazio and Christopher Feliciani, were
accompanied by another long‐time drug abuser in the program, Helena Uncapher, 31, a Hempfield mother of three.
20
On March 25, Uncapher was in a car that police stopped because a headlight was out, she told the committee. Officers
found 59 morphine pills and 22 grams of marijuana in her purse. Faced with a long jail sentence and losing her children,
she quickly opted for drug court in a last‐ditch effort to keep her family together.
“First, the judges are more compassionate than I could have imagined. They weed through the hard times and excuses
that sometimes follow and try to show leniency when necessary, but will also show disciplinary actions when needed,”
Uncapher said. “There must be consequences for our wrongdoings to show us right from wrong.”
Uncapher said she has been clean for 110 consecutive days.
“Through this process, I realized how I am powerless over all drugs and alcohol no matter how they can be justified in
my mind,” said Uncapher, whose newfound confidence led to a new job.
Uncapher said she was humbled by the standing ovation.
“That was pretty awesome ... thinking where I was a few months ago,” she said. “I hope my testimony helps the
program get funding to continue, and I hope to speak at other gatherings in the future to tell people what I've gone
through.”
Feliciani told the panel the county had to scrape together the $300,000 funding for the program, which is limited to 50
participants, including a $100,000 anonymous donation.
“I am here to tell you that with perseverance, hard work and commitment for all involved, the program works,” he said.
“We are seeing an incredible success with our participants, many of whom have, for the first times in their lives, been
able to remain drug‐free for a period of eight to 10 months.”
Bilik‐DeFazio said there are relapses, which are anticipated. After the third relapse, participants are ordered to jail.
“When you're clean for five or six months, you don't want to go back into jail,” the judge said.
Tom Plaitano, founder of Westmoreland‐based MedTech Healthcare Group, which treats opioid addicts, urged the
legislators to find money to continue the drug court and similar programs in the state “instead of burning money on
incarceration.”
“We need money. We can't do things we really need to do without money,” Plaitano said.
State Rep. Eric Nelson, a Republican from Hempfield, persuaded the joint policy committees to make one of its eight
stops in Westmoreland so members could hear about a success story — the drug court.
“I've observed it and was really impressed,” Nelson said.
The legislators will crisscross the state through September to explore how the opioid crisis impacts communities, then
make recommendations to battle the epidemic when the legislature reconvenes in the fall for a special session.
Westmoreland is on pace to surpass its fatal overdose record of 126 last year by 22 percent.
With 57 overdose deaths confirmed through June 30 by Coroner Ken Bacha and another 20 awaiting confirmation, the
county is projected to have 154 overdose deaths this year.
Nelson is hopeful that the testimony will help legislators better direct funding to viable programs with success stories
and benefit Westmoreland in the process.
“This issue is nonpartisan and impacts people in all walks of life,” Nelson said

Norway Proves That Treating Prison Inmates As Human Beings Actually Works
By Baz Dreisinger
BASTOY ISLAND, Norway ― “Prison?” I asked the two deckhands, a er a train carried me to the ferry.
“Yes,” said one of the men, rubbing his hands together for warmth. He looked me up and down with arrogant blue eyes.
“But sorry, it is only for men.” He laughed. “Come, come, you’re in the right place.”
I looked up at the masthead and noticed that it was crowned by a dead, stuffed swan.
“We found it frozen in a block of ice, years ago,” said the other deckhand. He wore a black ski hat and had a wizened,
kindly face.
21
“It’s creepy‐looking,” I said.
“You think so? Our mascot. You are afraid of criminals?” he suddenly asked. Before I could answer, “We are criminals.” I
looked into his eyes; they were laughing. Was he kidding?
“Really, we are. Criminals. Are you afraid?”
“Why would I be?” I shrugged. I still wasn’t sure if he was joking.
“I am Wiggo,” he said, offering a handshake. He was indeed a prisoner, serving a 21‐year sentence, the maximum in
Norway, but he’ll likely be out next year.
Cato, the other deckhand, was serving one and a half years for intention to commit a criminal act, though he insisted
he’s innocent. He and Wiggo brought me to a vestibule to show me their daily schedule, posted on the wall.
“We work the 6‐to‐noon shift,” Cato said. “Then we go back to the prison and relax or exercise. Come, you want to meet
the captain? He is not a prisoner. The only one who isn’t, on this boat.”
Upstairs, the sturdy captain shook my hand.
“You talking to those criminals?” he said, with a laugh. I was lapping up this playful mockery of the scary‐criminals
mentality. There was clearly nothing to be afraid of here, and everyone seemed to know it.
As the boat set sail, I spied Bastoy, a cluster of gangly pine trees in a gray sea stretching toward a gray sky. Inside the
boat’s small seating area, Cato sat down next to me and turned on the TV, flipping to the History Channel.
“Are you on Facebook?” he asked.
“You’re allowed Facebook? And internet?” I countered.
“Not while over there.” He pointed to the pine trees. “But yes, when we are on home leave.” I jotted down my name on
a slip of paper. For the first time since my arrival, a thin line of blue sky appeared overhead.
“They say it is a summer camp, Bastoy,” said Wiggo, as I left the cabin to disembark. He was almost reprimanding me.
“You will maybe think so. But no, it is prison. Trust me. We have our life stopped. Frozen.”
I pointed to the swan. “Like your mascot. Frozen. Even on a beautiful island.”
Wiggo nodded emphatically.
“Back to the mainland!” he called to Cato, ready for another run. Modern‐day Charons, I thought. Ferrying new souls
across the river to the underworld.
It hardly looked like the underworld, though. Wiggo was right; it did look like summer camp. Mottled leaves fell on
cyclers ― yes, cycling prisoners ― and a horse‐and‐carriage cantered by. Gingerbread houses dotted the landscape;
they were dull yellow, with green trim and red roofs. I spied sheep and cows but no fence or barbed wire.
Bastoy is an open prison, a concept born in Finland during the 1930s and now part of the norm throughout Scandinavia,
where prisoners can sometimes keep their jobs on the outside while serving time, commuting daily. Thirty percent of
Norway’s prisons are open, and Bastoy, a notorious reformatory for boys converted in 1982 to a prison, is considered
the crown jewel of them all.
A small yellow van driven by a smiling officer carried me to a cabin where I checked my phone in, the first thing that
remotely suggested “prison.” Tom, the governor ― not warden or superintendent but governor ― looked like Kevin
Costner. He offered me a cup of coffee, and we took a seat in his office, which, with its floral drapes, aloe plants and
faintly perfumed, cinder scent, reminded me of a quaint bed‐and‐breakfast somewhere in New England.
“It doesn’t work. We only do it because we’re lazy,” Tom said flatly. He was talking about the traditional prison system,
where he was stationed for 22 years before running this open prison. A fly buzzed loudly by the window as Tom went
on.
“I started skep cal. That changed quickly. More prisons should be open ― almost all should be. We take as many as we
can here, but there isn’t room for everyone.” Prisoners from around the country can apply to move to an open prison
like Bastoy when they’re within three years of release. The island is home to about 115 men overseen by over 70 staff
members, and there is a waiting list of about 30.
“There’s a perception that, ‘Oh, this is the lightweight prison; you just take the nice guys for the summer‐camp prison.’
But in fact, no. Our guys are into, pardon my French, some heavy shit. Drugs and violence. And the truth is, some have
been problematic in other prisons but then they come here, and we find them easy. We say, ‘Is that the same guy you
called difficult?’ It’s really very simple: Treat people like dirt, and they will be dirt. Treat them like human beings, and
they will act like human beings.”
He opened the window to let the fly go free.
“Come, let’s take a stroll.”

We wandered through the forest, past grazing horses, a breeding area for birds, a greenhouse and a barbecue pit where
men can cook lunch. Prisoners live in shared houses that resemble log cabins. The delicious smell of burning firewood
wafted through the air, and South Africa’s Robben Island sprang to mind. Bastoy is the opposite of its doppelgänger: not
a dark, evil twin but the humane edition of that prison‐island hellhole.
“It’s not about running a prison but running an island,” Tom explained. “Agriculture is a big part of our philosophy. We
are humane, ecological. Animals have a social function too, teaching empathy. Everyone works the land.”
This is a nature reserve, growing about 25 percent of its food. Most vehicles are electric, and everything is recycled.
“Do you live on the island?” I asked.
“I commute by boat every day. I love this. No more driving in traffic to Oslo.” He shook his head. “I knew nothing about
any of this, you know. I was a city boy. Now my life is so much restored by this place, this lifestyle. Just like for the
prisoners.”
Tom showed me a wooden church ornamented by a brass chandelier. “Norway is secular so this is more of a cultural
space; the chaplain is more of a therapist than an old‐fashioned minister,” he explained. He also took me to a gleaming
supermarket, which sells premium cacao chocolate and aloe‐vera juice. There are red phone booths for unlimited use,
although Tom thought cell phones and internet should be permitted in all prisons.
“What are we afraid of? You can’t kill anyone by internet or by phone,” he muttered.
I asked about stigma and reentry into society.
“In Norway, when you’re released, you’re released,” he replied. “No big stigma. One guy I know spent 18 years in prison
and is now living in my neighborhood. A normal old guy. No one cares. You find this a lot. I have many friends who’ve
been to prison. Norwegians are very forgiving people.” He paused. “Strange because we weren’t always like that.”
That’s an understatement. This is the land of the pillaging Vikings and of the Nordic sagas, depicted on wooden friezes
outside Oslo’s city hall, which I had visited the other day. The sagas are long tales of violence, murder, jealousy and
revenge, and it’s fascinating to think that somewhere deep in Norway’s past, a social tide turned, and a culture of peace
and forgiveness came to triumph.
Over lunch, Tom continued to impress me. He explained that although the “conservative” party here would be
considered liberal anywhere else and in general, the left and the right agree on the main threads of correctional policy,
an influx of immigrants, rising xenophobia and conservative politics lately threaten to undermine the country’s
progressive system and soft‐on‐crime approach. An anti‐immigration Progress Party, part of the conservative‐led
government, is promo ng a backlash against what’s known as “naving,” or living off welfare ― NAV is the Norwegian
Labor and Welfare Administration. In recent years, a local newspaper claimed that 80 percent of Norwegians want
stricter punishments, and a 2010 survey showed that a majority felt punishments were generally too lenient.
“It’s your media that’s also responsible,” Tom said, biting into a slice of whole‐grain toast with brown cheese. “American
TV shows about tough prisons and talk about being ‘tough on crime.’ It influences people here. But thankfully that’s
started to change. All the bad press in the past few years from you guys has started to make us not take you all so
seriously anymore. Especially in elections. In the political speeches, those biblical references by a secular country? And
Sarah Palin? People are laughing and also crying ― this is a country we want to imitate?”
I sighed. It’s disturbing, the way media can make and unmake the problem. I said as much, adding that the culture of
fear is to blame. I told him a little about my Australian experience and the Murdoch media.
“Yes,” Tom concurred. “Talk to people at a party and every ― pardon my French ― idiot will insist there’s more crime
than there is. Statistics say there is nothing to fear.”
A study of home leave in Germany, I said, found that the failure‐to‐return rate amounts to a mere 1 percent.
“Exactly,” Tom nodded. “Here there were instances where prisoners committed crime while on home leave, but so few
of them. You can’t construct a whole justice system around one or two exceptions.”
“I tell people, we’re releasing neighbors every year. Do you want to release them as ticking time bombs? Is that who you
want living next to you? Hey” ― he put down his toast ― “have you seen the film about the warden from A ca, New
York?”
A recent Finnish documentary depicts a former Attica superintendent’s tour of Halden, another prison in Norway
focused on rehabilitation. Where the Norwegian officials see rehabilitation and correction, the American saw risk and
danger. While Halden staff interac ng with prisoners ― playing cards, for example ― is a vital part of Halden’s ideology,
the American superintendent said that’s not allowed at the Attica prison.
In response, Tom said to me, “How can you help the prisoners if you are not sharing, about you and your life and your
kids? The men here know my kids, my address, everything. Why should I be afraid?”
23
If ever there was a utopia, Norway has a reputation for being it. It’s an oil‐rich welfare society ― top‐quality education,
health and child care are provided almost en rely by the state ― with a long‐standing culture of equality, safety and
communitarianism. Instead of serfdoms or a feudal society, for centuries Norway’s economic life was based on small
village units and local democratic self‐government; nobility was abolished over 200 years ago, and there’s never been a
distinct upper class. Norway’s climate and geography limited immigration, and cohesion was fortified by the country’s
uniform population.
Nothing represents the Norwegian way like its prison system, which has adopted a “principle of normality,” according to
which punishment is the restriction of liberty itself and which mandates that no one shall serve their sentence under
stricter circumstances than is required by the security of the community.
Criminologist John Pratt summed up the Scandinavian approach using the term “penal exceptionalism,” referring to
these countries’ low rates of imprisonment and humane prison conditions. Prisons here are small, most housing fewer
than 100 people and some just a handful. They’re spread all over the country, which keeps prisoners close to their
families and communities, and are designed to resemble life on the outside as much as possible.
An incarcerated person’s community continues to handle his health care, education and other social services while he’s
incarcerated. The Norwegian import model, as it is known, thus connects people in prison to the same welfare
organiza ons as other ci zens and creates what’s called a seamless sentence ― a person belongs to the same
municipality before and after prison. Sentences here are short, averaging an estimated eight months, as compared to
America, where the estimated average sentence was 4.5 years in 2012. Almost no one serves all his time, and after one‐
third of it is complete, a person in prison can apply for home leave and spend up to half his sentence off the premises.
After my visit, as I waited for the yellow van to carry me back to the boat and to Oslo, a man with a chipped front tooth
stood beside me.
“You are from America?” he asked. “You must think this place is crazy, huh?” Without letting me answer, he went on.
“But if you treat people like shit, they will be shit. Why doesn’t America get it? Funny, because Tony Robbins is so smart,
and he is from America.” He was talking about the self‐help guru known for infomercials and books such as Unleash the
Power Within. The man let out a nervous laugh. “What are you doing here?” I asked him. His blue parka said
ENGINEERING, so I assumed he must be repairing equipment.
“Me? I am sitting here. I am going to see the doctor, because I may have to be transferred to another open prison. I am
developing allergies to horses.”
Oh ― he’s in prison here. I had no idea.
I found my own cluelessness deeply moving. He and I were two human beings. Like my meeting with the deckhands
Wiggo and Cato, our casual, normal interaction contrasted starkly with the many prison interviews I’ve done over the
years; it’s a total erasure of boundaries between “us” and “them.”
Chatting with me like an old friend on the ride back to the mainland, he told me that he once worked in oil and traveled
the world and although home leaves have kept him close to family and community, when he goes home next year, it
won’t be so easy to pick up the pieces.
“I am hopeful, though. In prison, you can choose to see the sky or choose to see the moss on the ground. I look at the
sky.”

Wrongfully Convicted of Rape, a New Jersey Man Finds More Punishment After Prison
By ALAN FEUER
Exonerations of wrongfully convicted people have become so routine in recent years that their stories are almost
commonplace. We think we know the narrative: A defendant languishes in prison for a crime he did not commit;
through tenacious legal work — or the magic of DNA tests — he is freed.
Then there are stories like Dion Harrell’s, which show that the suffering attached to unjust verdicts can linger even after
the innocent are sprung from their prison cells.
24
Nearly 30 years ago, at 22, Mr. Harrell was arrested on suspicion of raping a teenage girl and later served four years in a
New Jersey prison. But when he was released on parole, what amounted to his second sentence started: For the next
two decades, he had to live with the restrictions of the state’s sex‐offender statute, known as Megan’s Law.
On Wednesday, Mr. Harrell, now 50, is to be formally cleared of the rape charge in State Superior Court in Freehold, N.J.,
officially foreclosing his legal tribulations. But he said that even an exoneration, as welcome as it is, would not entirely
end his ordeal.
“It’s never going to leave me,” he said in an interview this week. “I’m scarred for life, no matter what.”
In September 1988, Mr. Harrell was arrested in the rape of a 17‐year‐old girl as she was walking home from her job at a
McDonald’s in Long Branch, N.J. A neighborhood guy who often played basketball with local police detectives, Mr.
Harrell lived across the street from the fast‐food restaurant. When he was arrested, the victim immediately identified
him as her assailant.
“The cops were like, ‘Why’d you do it?’” Mr. Harrell said. “I was like, ‘Do what?’ They said, ‘Why’d you rape her?’ I just
broke down crying. I still cry — it hurts.”
Mr. Harrell was found guilty in 1992, and from 1993 to 1997, he was imprisoned at the Mid‐State Correctional Facility at
the Fort Dix Army base. When he was released, he was required under Megan’s Law to be added to the state’s sex‐
offender registry. The law, which was named for Megan Kanka, a 7‐year‐old girl who was raped and murdered near
Trenton in 1994, precluded him from living near children. Though he wanted at first to move in with his sister, his sister
had two sons, both of whom were minors at the time. So state agencies helped him find a hotel room, he said, where he
lived for nearly a year.
Meanwhile, his name and image were spread across the internet — not only on the state’s website, but also on private
pages that alert residents to sex offenders living in their area. He said he was spotted in — and hounded out of — bars.
Friends, and friends of friends, posted insults on his Facebook page. Landlords did not want him in their buildings.
Employers refused to hire him.
Mr. Harrell was experiencing what the author Michelle Alexander referred to in her book, “The New Jim Crow,” as “civic
death,” said his lawyer, Vanessa Potkin, who works with the Innocence Project in Manhattan. He was unable to
reintegrate himself into society. For several years, he drifted in and out of homeless shelters and bounced from job to
job: dishwasher, Sheetrocker, journeyman electrician.
“He served four years in prison,” Ms. Potkin said, “but was in essence sentenced to decades of instability.”
While still in prison, Mr. Harrell had written to the Innocence Project asking for help in getting a DNA test that he hoped
would clear his name. “The reason I am writing your office,” his original letter read, “is because I am innocent of the
crime.” He added that he “cannot begin to explain” the psychological trauma he had endured.
At that point, however, the organization already had thousands of defendants on its waiting list. It was also difficult, Ms.
Potkin said, to correspond with Mr. Harrell because of his transient living situation.
Eventually, in 2014, she took the case. She faced an immediate hurdle: Under New Jersey law at the time, only
defendants still in prison were entitled to a DNA test. (The law has since been amended.)
But Ms. Potkin persuaded the Monmouth County prosecutor’s office to grant Mr. Harrell an exception. Last month, the
test conducted on semen came back in his favor; and on July 22, Christopher J. Gramiccioni, the prosecutor, announced
that he would move to have Mr. Harrell’s conviction thrown out, which would trigger the removal of his name from the
sex‐offender list.
It is hard to know precisely how many cases like Mr. Harrell’s exist across the country. But one man who experienced a
similar ordeal is Eddie Lowery, a former Army specialist, who in 1982 was wrongfully convicted of raping a 63‐year‐old
woman as she lay sleeping in her home in Ogden, Kan. Mr. Lowery, who is now 57 and lives in California, served 10 years
in prison. When he got out and had to register as a sex offender, he was so afraid of being recognized that he hid his
house’s address plate behind a flower pot.
“It was almost like I was still in a prison on the outside,” he said the other day. “Even though I was out, I wasn’t free.”
For the moment, Mr. Harrell is living with a relative in Long Branch. He is still unemployed, but at least he can visit his
sister again. He has been spending time with his two daughters, who are 25 and 27. Although he has not healed yet, he
is looking forward to Wednesday when a judge will officially set him free.
“It’ll get me out of the hellhole,” he said.

Rikers Island inmate doesn’t let jail stop him from going on Facebook live, flashing knife
By Cleve R. Wootson Jr
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post‐nation/wp/2016/08/03/rikers‐island‐inmate‐doesnt‐let‐prison‐stop‐him‐
from‐going‐on‐facebook‐live‐flashing‐knife/?utm_term=.f25cd1d85ff9
After decades of being labeled one of the most notorious correctional facilities in the country, Rikers Island in New York
has added more cameras and metal detectors to keep better tabs on the murderers, mobsters and terrorists that the jail
counts among its 10,000 inmates.
So it was troubling for jail officials to see one of those inmates joining the ranks of Chewbacca mom and George Takei —
streaming live on Facebook — while locked in his jail cell.
“I had to go live,” the inmate with a blurred face says in the post, originally reported by CW affiliate WPIX. “I did
everything else.”
The inmate recorded the video in late July. He was then released from Rikers before authorities saw the video. In the
video, he shows his jail cell, his uniform and some leftover food on a metal plate. But the stream takes a serious tone
when the man pulls out a jail‐made knife.
“Y’all wanna see that chop?” he asks the people following him on the social networking site. “This is a (expletive)
scalpel.”
[After officer shoots suicidal teen, police find an apology note addressed to them]
He later told WPIX that he made the knife inside the jail’s walls for protection but that he never used it because “I know
how to fight to defend myself.” The inmate told the news station that he hoped the video sheds light on safety concerns
at the jail.
According to WPIX, the video was viewed more than 7,000 times, including, apparently, by investigators who quickly
identified the man on camera and arrested him again on Monday. He had been out of custody for only a few days after
his release.
Bronx District Attorney’s Office public information office James Brunner identified the inmate who made the video as
Shamel Robinson. He was charged with felony possession of jail contraband, and his bail was set at $150,000. His next
court date is scheduled for Friday, according to records.
Department of corrections spokeswoman Eve Kessler told The Washington Post that staff have found significantly more
contraband this year compared with last year and that Rikers Island wants to be authorized to use more advanced body
scanners that could detect small blades like the one Robinson flashed. Kessler said:
The 43 percent jump in contraband finds at DOC this year demonstrates that [New York Corrections Department
Commissioner Joseph] Ponte’s comprehensive reforms of our entrance procedures are working. … We are continuing to
seek a change to state law in order to authorize the use of body scanners, which we already own. The scanners can
detect scalpels and other small blades that evade detection by other machines.
Kessler told The Post that the jail wants to have 100 percent camera coverage by 2016.
“Front gate procedures are more heightened,” Ponte told the news station. “Everything has to go through a metal
detector.”
Some of those enhancements were put in place after a guard was slashed in the face with a homemade knife inside
Rikers Island in November. In a statement after visiting the guard in the hospital, Ponte spoke about beefing up efforts
to keep things like phones out of jail:
As part of our comprehensive reforms, we have already tightened entrance procedures to keep weapons and
contraband out of our jails, bolstered security camera coverage and redesigned our emergency response teams to get to
officers faster when they are in a dangerous situation.
Smartphones are some of the most dangerous things a person can bring into a prison, according to a New York Times
article on the rise of the devices in correctional facilities:
With Internet access, a prisoner can call up phone directories, maps and photographs for criminal purposes, corrections
officials and prison security experts say. Gang violence and drug trafficking, they say, are increasingly being orchestrated
online, allowing inmates to keep up criminal behavior even as they serve time.
In January, 51 inmates, prison officials and others were arrested for allegedly taking part in a massive corruption, fraud
and money laundering scheme with a home base at Georgia’s Autry State Prison, according to the Atlanta Journal‐
Constitution. The inmates carried out the scam using cellphones that had been smuggled inside prison walls.

Arizona Prison Is Not Reporting Disease Cases To Health Agency
There’s no record that Corrections Corporation of America ever told a county health agency about valley fever cases for
Hawaii prisoners.
By Rui Kaneya
In an apparent violation of Arizona regulations, Corrections Corporation of America, the largest for‐profit prison
company in the country, is failing to report the cases of valley fever among Hawaii inmates at the Saguaro Correctional
Center.
Under a provision in the Arizona Administrative Code, administrators of correctional facilities are required to report “all
cases or suspected cases” of communicable diseases — including valley fever — to the local health authority.
Civil Beat is examining how the state manages its troubled, overcrowded prison system, which includes four prisons and
four jails in Hawaii, and a contract private prison in Arizona.
But a Civil Beat review of disease surveillance reports submitted to the Pinal County Public Health Services District since
2007 found that CCA has not reported a single case of valley fever at Saguaro, a 1,926‐bed facility in Eloy, Arizona, where
about 1,400 Hawaii prisoners are housed.
That’s despite the fact that, according to the Hawaii Department of Public Safety, at least four Saguaro prisoners have
been infected with valley fever since 2014 — two cases in 2016 and one case each in 2015 and 2014.
The department doesn’t have a system in place to track older cases, but Civil Beat has confirmed another case in which a
Hawaii prisoner was diagnosed with valley fever in 2013.
Still, CCA spokesman Jonathan Burns denies that the company has been violating the regulations.
“CCA always strives to fulfill applicable state rules, and we have no reason to believe that appropriate reporting of valley
fever incidences at (Saguaro) have not been made,” Burns said.
The list of communicable diseases that trigger Arizona’s mandatory reporting requirement is long — 88 in all, ranging
from anthrax and smallpox to hepatitis and Lyme disease.
Among them is coccidioidomycosis, the medical term for valley fever — an insidious airborne fungal disease that
sometimes leads to fatal complications.
Valley fever is endemic to a swath of Arizona, leading to more than 5,600 reported infections in 2014.
According to the Department of Public Safety, one Hawaii prisoner with valley fever died in June, though it’s still unclear
whether the disease was the cause of his death.
As Civil Beat reported, another Hawaii prisoner named Melvin Wright, who was infected with valley fever in 2013, died
shortly after he was transferred back to Hawaii in 2014. He died of a heart attack, but valley fever was a contributing
cause, according to his autopsy report.
The Pinal County records, obtained by Civil Beat through a public records request, showed that the Public Health
Services District has been notified about five cases of valley fever among the residents at 1250 E. Arica Road in Eloy —
the address of Saguaro.
The first report was submitted in 2008, followed by two more reports in 2011. Two additional reports were submitted
earlier this year.
But CCA submitted none of the reports. Instead, it was nearby hospitals and clinical labs — other “mandated reporters”
under the regulations — that reported the cases.
Similarly, CCA has reported no valley fever at its three prisons adjacent to Saguaro — the Eloy Detention Center, the La
Palma Correctional Center and the Red Rock Correctional Center. But hospitals and clinical labs have submitted 17
reports on valley fever at the three locations over the years.
Graham Briggs, administrator of the infectious diseases and epidemiology section at the Public Health Services District,
says his agency usually relies on hospitals to report the cases of communicable disease — since they are typically the
ones conducting the tests.
But, if hospitals aren’t involved, Briggs says it’s up to other “mandated reporters” — including prisons — to submit the
reports when the tests come back positive. Failing to do so would be a clear violation of the regulations.
It’s unclear why at least three Saguaro cases from 2013, 2014 and 2015 — the ones counted by the Department of
Public Safety — have not been reported to the Public Health Services District.
27
Burns wouldn’t say why the cases are missing from the records.
Briggs says it could be that, when prisoners showed up with symptoms of pneumonia or valley fever, Saguaro’s doctors
simply treated them with broad‐spectrum antibiotics and antifungal medications without conducting any tests.
“The department should be monitoring CCA better, making sure that it’s following the law.” — Kat Brady, coordinator of
the Community Alliance on Prisons
In such cases, “it’s a little bit subjective as to whether they would be required to report or not,” Briggs said.
But the regulations specify that even a suspected case of communicable disease should be reported at the time of their
“diagnosis, treatment or detection,” regardless of whether it’s confirmed by a test.
Briggs acknowledges the point. “In an ideal world, if they’re suspecting valley fever, it would be good to get a report,” he
said.
Under the regulations, a failure to follow the mandatory reporting requirement could be a Class 3 misdemeanor
punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a fine of up to $5,000.
Kat Brady, coordinator of the Community Alliance on Prisons, says how CCA reports the “I obviously think that the
department should be monitoring CCA better, making sure that it’s following the law,” Brady said. “But they have a cozy
relationship; the company hasn’t been penalized for anything. That needs to change.”
In a statement, Toni Schwartz, public safety spokeswoman, said the department wasn’t aware of any violations by CCA.
“We are looking into this allegation and will respond appropriately if we do find evidence of any violations,” Schwartz
said.

I love meetings as much as the next guy, but in light of the fact that there is such a direct
communications link between Kelly Carozzoni and the staff at CCCF, it seems to make sense to reduce
the disruptions in all of our schedules, and to meet only when a special need arises, and on a
QUARTERLY basis. If this is OK, with all of you, we will cancel our September and October meetings, and
we will carry on starting in November, and go forward QUARTERLY thereafter.
Any objections? Any sighs of relief???

Subject: I love meetings as much as the next guy....
I love meetings as much as the next guy, but in light of the fact that there is such a direct communications link between
Kelly Carozzoni and the staff at CCCF, it seems to make sense to reduce the disruptions in all of our schedules, and to
meet only when a special need arises, and on a QUARTERLY basis. If this is OK, with all of you, we will cancel our
September and October meetings, and we will carry on starting in November, and go forward QUARTERLY thereafter.
Any objections? Any sighs of relief???

Subject: Request for Information
Greetings County Colleagues,
Lancaster County Prison, Deputy Warden Alex Croci, has requested the following information:
Are there any facilities in PA that allow their officers to possess personal firearms while they commute back and
forth to work?
If so, do they require that these firearms be secured in a lock box that is mounted in the officer’s personal
vehicle while this vehicle is parked on facility property? Or, is there another method to secure the firearms?
Please respond as you determine appropriate. You may respond directly to Deputy Warden Croci at:
acroci@co.lancaster.pa.us
Regards,
Tom

happen? Why me? Maybe I just imagined
it. It wasn’t really rape.
Embarrassment – What will others
think? I can’t tell my friends or family.
Shame – I feel dirty. There is something
wrong with me. I can’t get clean.
Guilt
– This is my fault. I should have
been strong enough to stop it.
Depression – How will I get through the
day? I’m so tired. I feel hopeless. Maybe
I’d be better off dead.
Powerlessness – Will I ever feel in
control of my life again?
Disorientation – I don’t even know what
day it is or where I’m supposed to be.
Why do I keep forgetting things?

4/24/2017
Flashbacks
– I’m still re-living the
assault. I keep seeing their face and
feeling like it’s going to happen again.
Fear – I’m scared of everything. I’m
afraid to be alone. I can’t sleep because
I’ll have nightmares
Anxiety – I’m having panic attacks. I can’t
breathe. I can’t stop shaking. I feel
overwhelmed.
Anger
– I’m going to kill them for
attacking me. I’m going to hurt them like
they hurt me.
Physical stress – My stomach hurts all
the time now. I can’t get rid of this
headache. My body hurts. I’ve lost my
appetite.

why. She then stated that she was and then he asked what he could do for her. she then yelled
i want to speak to you in private.? Lieutenant Jeirles then told her that he would look for the request
i slip and see what he could do. While the top tier was out eating dinner Lieutenant called and had
i asked me to tell the inmate that he was not able to ?nd the request slip but he was going to talk to
3 the lieutenants on night shift to ask if they had seen it, and to have the inmate put another request
slip in. When she brought up her tray I was trying to tell her about what I was told and the inmate
continued to walk away blatantly ignoring me. I said ?excuse me? and she just kept walking. I then
said ?when I?m talking to you, you don?t just walk away.? She then walked up the steps and slammed
the door. I then talked to Lieutenant Fisher and he told me to keep her in her cell for the remainder
of the night. I then got a call from Counselor McGhee asking for the inmate. I hit her intercom and

FCC News: FCC working on a new Order regarding inmate telephone rates. What this
means to you....
Important Industry News Alert
Dear Valued Customer,
This is a reminder that at the August 4th Open Meeting of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), the FCC is expected to vote on an Order that responds to a petition
for reconsideration that would, according to the FCC, “ensure the rates for Inmate
Calling Services (ICS) are just, reasonable, and fair and explicitly account for facilities”
ICS-related costs.”
According to the Fact Sheet (please note: this is NOT itself the new order, just highlevel, descriptive material issued by the agency), the FCC will seek to increase the
current rate caps to include in the rate an amount that the FCC believes is sufficient to
cover the legitimate costs facilities incur in offering ICS. It is unclear how the issue of
site commissions will be addressed in the Order, if at all, but it appears clear that the
FCC will seek to apply the rate caps discussed in the Fact Sheet to both interstate and
intrastate calls while seeking an “approach to inmate calling rate reform that expressly
accounts, in the rate cap calculations, for the possibility that jails and prisons bear
legitimate costs in providing access to ICS.”
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., is considering a request from the FCC
to put a hold on GTL’s case challenging the price caps contained in the FCC’s Order of
2015. GTL has asked the court to deny the FCC’s request and to move quickly to
resolve the issue of whether the FCC has jurisdiction to regulate intrastate ICS rates
and fees. Regardless of the court’s decision on whether to put the case on hold, the new
3
rules/rates would be subject to appeal if GTL or other parties are not satisfied with the
new changes.
GTL will keep you updated on critical FCC regulatory information, however the most
timely and up-to-date information can be found on the FCC Inmate Phone Facts (FCC
IPF) website, powered by GTL.
This web site affords you access to:
News covering matters related to the FCC’s regulations – Read more here.
Descriptions and status updates for state legislative ICS reform efforts – Read
more here.
Important FCC filings through the current date – Read more here.
Miscellaneous links with useful information regarding ICS reform – Read more
here.
We want to reassure you that GTL will not be making any business decisions until we
see the final Order. As you know, this is a highly complex legal and regulatory
environment, and we expect to be in a position to provide additional information on the
Order itself and implications after the Open Meeting on August 4.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey B. Haidinger

You can let Teresa know the doctor can fax the forms directly to our office if she would like. Our fax number is 717‐307‐

On 7/30/2016 at approximately 1230hrs CO Dickey told Lt. Woods and I that inmate Meyer wanted to
talk to someone about an incident that happen in A4. At 1330hrs. he was sent to the Shift
Commander Of?ce. He told us that CO Beaver let inmate Mason out of his cell to order commissary
on Sunday 7/24/2016 when the prison was locked down.
He went on to say that after he ordered his commissary and returned to his cell that CO Beaver went
and entered inmate Masons cell for approximately 15 minutes. When I explained to inmate Moyer
that there was no way he could observe cell 19 from his cell 7, he agreed but said other inmates that
could observe this were still talking about it.
Lt. Fisher?s incident report has the Facility locking down at 1835hrs on 7/24/2016 and still being
locked down at 2140hrs. at the time of his incident report.
I called Lt. Fisher to see if he gave CO Beaver permission to let inmate Mason out of his cell during
lock down to order commissary. He said he did not.
Inmate Mason was observed on the inmate phone with CO Beaver standing next to him on A4
dayroom camera.

On the above date and time, I Lt. Fisher, made the decision to lock the facility down due to a
severe thunderstorm outside the facility. At approximately 1845 hours, The facility lost power and
was running solely on the generator. Shortly after, I was noti?ed by CO Bryan that an electrical
burning smell was moving through the BI housing unit. I immediately noti?ed Maintenance of the
situations at hand. At this time, A trooper from PSP Phillipsburg was in the vehicle sally port dropping
off a detainee. Central control was unable to open the vehicle sally port garage doors to allow the
Trooper to leave. Leonard from maintenance arrived at the facility and was able to manually open the
garage door to allow the trooper to leave. He had also looked into the burning smell in El and was
able to shut down some the Heating units where the smell was coming from. West Penn Power
was noti?ed of the power outage at the facility. CBC Coordinator Andrews and Centre County
Dispatch were both noti?ed that the Central Booking central is currently down due to loss of power.

On the above mentioned date at approximately 1930 CO Beaver entered the Of?ce. She explained to me
that she was going to issue a minor misconduct to inmate Mason, Michael 15-1200 for kicking the rec yard
window and that he went too far this time.
CO Beaver then told us you got to be able to laugh and joke with the inmates when you are around them
all the time. She said Mason really wanted his commissary, so she decides to give him his last. CO Beaver
searched his cell this night and told us how Mason has ail his commissary nice and neat in his bin all the
time, so she messed it all up. She thought it was funny that he was still out in the rec yard and doesn?t
know what she did yet. She said he's going to be mad at me. Lt. Fisher and I found this conversation to
be very odd. End of report.

At the above date and approximate time, I was talking to Inmate Reed and he stated ?it's funny you
were just the topic of conversation the other day." He went on to tell me that when Inmate Mason
was moved to the A3 unit, which was 8/1/16, he had told inmate Reed and multiple other inmates
that him and CO Beaver had a ?thing? going on always having his door open and how she was after
him. He then went to tell him ?it was like the thing with Eck when I was on Bl." He then went on to
state that he just wanted to make sure nothing got out of hand and that he knew that the inmate
was lying. I then notified the shift commander.

RE: Subpoena for discovery
Betsy,
Another small development on this.
realized his error, apparently. He didn’t file a new subpoena for
the correct documents, he took the copy of the original and scratched out “5” and wrote “4” above it in two places.
Warden Smith and I wanted to check and see if you thought we should respond to this informal amendment now asking
for the correct numbers.

Dee and Rick –
Amy and I just discussed Dee’s conversation with Amy (and my conversation with Rick and Melanie earlier
this afternoon). Since this is a civil matter, there’s no reason Melanie cannot respond to the Subpoena as we
discussed and as noted below. No records are responsive to the request (mainly because he gave the wrong
numbers – although I do not believe you need to point that out to him!).
I’ve copied Amy in case she has other thoughts.
Thanks.

Dee/Betsy,
I don’t know if this was forwarded to Dee. I think it was not. This is a Custody Case that made it
to the Superior Court of PA. Should we answer or wait for a Court Order? For the record we
believe the inmate wrote the wrong phone number so there actually are no records that we have
to be given. We have had since the 29’th and need to respond ASAP.

Interactive map shows where Pa. inmates committed their crimes
By Rachel McDevitt
(Harrisburg) ‐‐ A new interactive map from the state Department of Corrections shows where inmates have committed
their crimes over the past three years.
This map is a complement to one released a month ago, which shows where inmates are going after they complete their
sentences.
"Our goals are to be transparent and to use data to drive policy. With these maps, everyone can obtain the information
and drive down into data that is from their local areas, " Corrections Secretary John Wetzel said. "This helps them to
potentially determine needs and services that may be required in the local communities for not only those leaving our
system, but also potentially for those entering the DOC."
Department spokeswoman Susan McNaughton says, the agency regularly get requests for this kind of data for research
purposes.
But, she notes, the maps should also be useful to local law enforcement agencies and social service providers.
"It gives a pretty good picture of who's coming into the system, right?" she said. "So based on that you can determine

2,194 people were sentenced to state prison from Lancaster County in 2013‐15
By TIM BUCKWALTER
Lancaster County sent 2,194 people to state prisons in the past three years.
16
Conversely, 1,973 state prison inmates from Lancaster County were released.
The figures are available on new interactive maps posted online by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.
The maps show 2013‐2015 data for each county in Pennsylvania, as well as statewide statistics.
“Our goals are to be transparent and to use data to drive policy,” Corrections Secretary John Wetzel said in a press
release. “With these maps, everyone can obtain the information and drive down into data that is from their local areas.”
“This helps them to potentially determine needs and services that may be required in the local communities for not only
those leaving our system, but also potentially for those entering the DOC,” Wetzel said.
According the maps, Lancaster County accounts for fewer‐than‐average rates of inmates sentenced to, and released
from, state prisons.
In 2015, Lancaster County’s rate of state prison admissions was 13 per 10,000 residents, compared to 16.12 statewide.
Among neighboring counties, admission rates ranged from 29 per 10,000 in Dauphin to 8 in Chester. The rate was 20 in
Lebanon, 16 in Berks and 13 in York.
That same year, the rate of releases from state prisons was 13.14 per 10,000 for Lancaster County and 15.62 statewide.
Among neighboring counties, the release rate ranged from 28.83 in Dauphin to 8.16 in Chester. It was 16.20 in Lebanon,
15.92 in Berks and 14.36 in York.
Over the past three years, about 62 percent of those admitted to state prisons from Lancaster County were sentenced in
new court cases. The other 38 percent had violated parole either by committing new crimes or failing to meet technical
requirements of their parole.
Of inmates from Lancaster County who were released from state prisons in 2013‐15, some 15 percent had completed
their sentences and 84 percent were released on parole.

Msgr. William Lynn freed on bail until retrial in church sex abuse case
By Joe Slobodzian
After almost three years in prison for a conviction that has been reversed, Msgr. William J. Lynn went free Tuesday on
$250,000 bail pending a new trial over his handling of Catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children.
Officials at the state prison in Waymart in Northeastern Pennsylvania confirmed that Lynn ‐ Inmate KQ4194 ‐ was
released on bail Tuesday afternoon.
For Lynn, 65 ‐ the first Catholic Church official convicted for supervising pedophile priests ‐ the bail ruling by Philadelphia
Common Pleas Court Judge Gwendolyn N. Bright meant freedom and reunion with family.
But freedom was tempered by District Attorney Seth Williams' announcement that he will retry Lynn on the same
charge of child endangerment.
Bright ordered Lynn to appear at a hearing Thursday to schedule the trial, which she said would not happen until next
year.
After the brief hearing, defense attorney Thomas A. Bergstrom criticized the decision to retry Lynn.
"I'm not surprised and, frankly, we're prepared to try a fair trial any day," Bergstrom said.
Bergstrom called the case against Lynn "over the top, inaccurate and dishonest, but [Williams] is just hell‐bent on trying
this case. . . . For some reason, he continues to want to beat up on this guy.
"He's done 33 months along with 18 months' house arrest for something the Superior Court has now ruled was an unfair
trial," Bergstrom said.
Williams said the retrial was necessary because, "as secretary for clergy, Msgr. Lynn helped create a playbook for
handling someone who alleges that an archdiocesan priest is a pedophile."
That playbook, Williams said, involved sending accused priests for therapy in a church‐run clinic and then moving them
to a different parish without telling pastors or parishioners about the pedophile in their midst. Some of those priests
then preyed on other children.
17
Williams said the jury at Lynn's 2012 trial convicted him in spite of Lynn's testimony in his own defense: "He didn't say it
didn't happen. He just said his supervisors were more responsible than him."
"This case is very important for the community, for victims and institutions that shield pedophiles to know that we won't
allow it," Williams added.
Bergstrom said Lynn would initially live with family near Reading.
Bergstrom said he did not know if Lynn would resume pastoral duties pending trial, but added that Philadelphia
Archbishop Charles J. Chaput has kept in regular contact with Lynn in prison.
Lynn was charged in February 2011 following a Philadelphia grand jury report. The archdiocese has funded his defense
through the 13‐week trial in 2012, two rounds of appeals to the state Supreme Court and now the retrial to come.
Tuesday's bail hearing came one week after Pennsylvania's Supreme Court affirmed a Superior Court opinion reversing
Lynn's 2012 conviction and ordering a new trial.
Lynn was not accused of molesting children. Instead, prosecutors alleged that as Lynn was not accused of molesting
children. Instead, prosecutors alleged that as secretary for clergy ‐ responsible for investigating allegations against
priests and recommending action ‐ Lynn continued the church's long‐standing practice of rotating pedophile priests from
parish to parish.
To establish that Lynn was part of the archdiocese's governing culture, prosecutors at trial introduced historical
information on clergy sex abuse including about two dozen case histories, some dating to the 1940s.
The first round of appeals in Lynn's case established that church officials can be held criminally liable for the crimes of
clergy they supervise.

Man sentenced to house arrest for throwing urine
HOLLIDAYSBURG ‐ An Altoona man accused of throwing urine in the face of a Blair County Prison corrections officer has
entered a no contest plea and will serve at least 18 months on house arrest.
Carlos Eric Lawrence, 37, entered his plea on Monday to aggravated assault by a prisoner and additional charges,
thereby avoiding what was expected to be a jury trial later this month.
Judge Timothy Sullivan, who heard the plea, imposed the house arrest sentence of 18 months to 48 months, at any
approved residence, followed by four years' probation.
Lawrence was in prison last October on a misdemeanor assault charge when he was accused of throwing a cup of urine
in the face of a corrections officer.
Hollidaysburg police, who investigated the incident, said the corrections officer saw Lawrence stooped down beside the
toilet in his cell, scooping urine into a cup. Police said Lawrence threw the urine toward the officer, hitting the officer's
face and chest.
Lawrence remained in jail through April when he met bail conditions

Sayre man charged for vandalism at the Bradford County prison
BY RUSSELL PEKELNICKY
Erik Ryan Agnew, 33, of Sayre is facing charges of institutional vandalism and criminal mischief after an incident at
Bradford County Correctional Facility.
Pennsylvania State Police said Agnew, who had been arrested on separate charges, was in a holding cell when he used a
ring on his left hand to damage security glass.
Police said he repeatedly struck the glass — valued at an estimated $1,000 — with his left hand.

Man Sneaks Heroin Into Chester County Prison: DA
By Justin Heinze
A man recently arrested in Phoenixville on drug charges allegedly snuck heroin into Chester County prison, where he
distributed it, according to the Chester County District Attorney's Office.
Jarrett Mason was arrested in Phoenixville on July 15 on drug charges, the DA said. During his arrest, he hid heroin from
authorities in his hair and was then taken to the prison on S. Wawaset Road in West Chester.
On July 16, another inmate reported that Mason was dealing the heroin around the prison, the DA said.
Correctional officers searched Mason, and found that he had moved the heroin inside his body to hide it, officials said.
Mason has been charged with felony counts of furnishing contraband and drug dealing in prison, among other charges,
according to the DA.

Delaware Court says state death penalty law unconstitutional
By Randall Chase
ASSOCIATED PRESS (08/02/2016)
DOVER, Del. (AP) ‐‐ Delaware's death penalty law is unconstitutional in light of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling earlier this
year, the state's high court ruled Tuesday.
In a 148‐page opinion, a majority of the Delaware Supreme Court justices said the state law violates the U.S.
Constitution because it allows a judge to sentence a person to death independently of a jury's recommendation.
The court also said the law is unconstitutional because it does not require jurors to be unanimous in finding aggravating
circumstances that weigh in favor of the death penalty.
Questions were raised about Delaware's law after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a similar death penalty statute in
Florida.
Santino Ceccotti, a lawyer with the Delaware public defender's office who argued the case before the Supreme Court,
said he was pleased with the ruling but noted the state attorney general's office could appeal the decision in federal
court.
A spokeswoman for the Delaware Department of Justice said in an email that the agency is reviewing the decision.
Ceccotti said it remains to be seen whether the ruling could be applied retroactively to the 13 men currently on
Delaware's death row.
"What we know for sure is that the scheme in Delaware is unconstitutional ... and that will have a direct impact on cases
that are pending," he said.
Ceccotti said all defendants in cases in which prosecutors are seeking the death penalty will have to be charged with a
different offense.
"With this decision, capital murder is no longer an option," he said.

State corrections officials begin reforms for inmates with HIV and disabilities
By PASHTANA USUFZY
A month after the U.S. Department of Justice found the state’s Corrections Department discriminated against inmates
with HIV and disabilities, officials promised a complete turnaround.
19
Less than two weeks after offering that promise, they’re taking action, according to a Nevada Department of Corrections
representative.
“We don’t have a time limit, but we’re not wasting any time,” said spokeswoman Brooke Keast.
Last week the department removed a medical code from its computer system that could reveal a prisoner’s HIV‐positive
status to unauthorized staffers.
Department Director James Dzurenda, who began his job in April, called for staff to prevent unauthorized access to
information regarding inmates’ HIV statuses after receiving the June 20 Justice Department letter.
The letter, prompted by complaints from HIV‐positive inmates at High Desert State Prison in Indian Springs, found the
department was housing inmates with HIV separately from other inmates, thereby divulging the prisoners’ medical
information.
The Justice Department also found HIV‐positive inmates were being barred by prison staffers from culinary jobs in the
facilities, which violates Department of Corrections guidelines.
Inmates with HIV and disabilities were also being denied opportunities to earn work credit and reduce their sentences at
lower‐security conservation camps and transitional‐housing facilities, the letter said.
Dzurenda told the Review‐Journal last month that he was shocked to learn of the violations and that the law “prohibits
agencies from doing what we were doing.”
Now, corrections officials and staffers are focusing on making the changes laid out in their promise.
Among the changes is discussing housing with HIV‐positive inmates.
Because the number of staffers allowed access to an inmate’s HIV status is small, few workers can meet with HIV‐
positive prisoners to discuss their eligibility to move out of segregated housing and whether or not they want to move,
Keast said.
She added that the process to have those conversations is under way but no timeline was immediately available.
Director of The Center for Prisoner Health and Human Rights Josiah D. Rich, a doctor and Brown University professor,
said the need for HIV‐positive inmate privacy is great and that there’s no proven reason for segregated housing.
“The confidentiality issue is a real one,” he said. “There is very real stigma about HIV and fear and ignorance.”
Rich said he believes prisons should offer routine HIV testing and protect the confidentiality of inmates who test
positive.
Keast said the Corrections Department has about 130 HIV‐positive individuals in custody and that prisoners are screened
when they enter custody, when they leave, and if there’s suspicion that they may have contracted the virus.
Reports still need to be made to the Justice Department about the findings of the letter, and the staff is working to
educate corrections officers and others about the changes, Keast said.

Prison System Ponders $250 Million in Budget Cuts
By Johnathan Silver
Told to prepare a budget that cuts spending by four percent, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice is drawing up a
legislative request for the 2018‐2019 biennium that would slash its operating budget by about $250 million.
The agency won't say what potential savings — including closing prisons or figuring out how to release more non‐
violent inmates — might be in the mix, but its request will launch the biennial dance with lawmakers over funding for
the nation's largest prison system.
In late June, Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Joe Straus instructed most state agencies to
submit budget plans reflecting the four percent reduction target, setting that as the "starting point" for 2017 budget
negotiations.
With a more than $3 billion annual operating budget, about 40,000 employees and close to 150,000 inmates, TDCJ could
chase that goal by closing prisons, reducing the inmate population and changing how Texas uses its state jail system,
policymakers and analysts say.
In 2013, the agency shut down two privately run state jails after the Legislature cut almost $100 million from its budget.
More closures may be in the offing, said Scott Henson, author of the criminal justice blog Grits for Breakfast.
20
Dawson State Jail, one of the two former TDCJ facilities, closed down to the Dallas community's delight because it was
by the Trinity River where major development efforts were in the works. City officials welcomed the opening up of the
land.
"If we were to assume that that would probably be the driving interest that the Legislature cares about most going
forward, that leads you to look at a little cluster of prisons outside of Richmond, also in Fort Bend, like the Central Unit,"
near where high‐dollar homes sit, Henson said. "[That] sounds more possible because there's so much more economic
incentive."

incentive."
What could work in Fort Bend County, though, might not in other places, Henson said.
"The reason they don't want to close prisons is 'cause it's jobs," he said. "You go into Palestine, Texas, and say you're
going to close prisons. Well, that's a significant part of the labor force. But Fort Bend County's growth has nothing to do
with the prison industry, and in fact, there are higher, better uses for that property."

industry, and in fact, there are higher, better uses for that property.”
Outdated and dilapidated units might also be prime for closure, Henson said, such as the Pack Unit near Navasota where
inmates have sued TDCJ over high arsenic levels in the drinking water.
Money might also be saved by cutting down inmate populations in the state jail system, which is separate from the
prison system but run by TDCJ, said Michele Deitch, a senior lecturer at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University
of Texas at Austin. The 19 state jails hold low‐level offenders for no longer than two years and was designed as a backup
for people under community supervision.
"It's moved so far from it's original conception that it's unrecognizable," said Deitch, who was part of the office that
designed the system in the early 1990s. "It has not been a success at all. It has the largest recidivism rate of any part of
the criminal justice system, within any part of TDCJ, and the inmates are not getting the kinds of programs and services
they need. They get no supervision or services when they get out, and so reentry is very problematic. And there's a lot of
people who are locked up in state jails that really don't need to be there."
On the front end, the Legislature and local communities could whittle the inmate population with drug sentencing
reforms and by using treatment and other diversion techniques as alternatives to locking up offenders for nonviolent
crimes, policy analysts said.
21
Diversion could save the agency and taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, said Marc Levin, director of the Center for
Effective Justice at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. A prisoner who costs the state $53 a day could cost $3 a day as a
parolee or less than $2 a day as a probationer because they pay fees out of their own pockets, Levin said.
Utah and Alaska recently enacted laws reducing drug possession offense classifications from felonies to misdemeanors,
he said.
Texas could also lock up fewer people for violating conditions of their probation and supervised release, Levin said.
An emphasis on treatment, especially within an offender's community, makes a positive difference, Levin said. "What we
really want to avoid is to make sure budget cuts don't come from probation, diversion programs, parole," he said.
Locking someone up for nonviolent, drug‐related offenses does little to help them, said Elizabeth Henneke, a policy
analyst for the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition. Keeping them in prison, where there are "no bills, no stress of job, no
stress of family, that doesn't translate well when they get home because additional stressors come in."
"Do these folks need to be locked up for the fact that person abused drugs, or can they stay in their community and
participate with substance abuse counseling, get the treatment they need in an effective way?" Henneke asked.
State Sen. John Whitmire, a Houston Democrat and the Senate's most powerful voice on criminal justice issues, said he
will try to spare the prison system from budget cuts next session.
"TDCJ's greatest expense is personnel. You have to secure the prison. So you sure as hell can't cut that," Whitmire said.
"Rehabilitation – drug, alcohol, is too critical a service to cut, because it's actually what reduces recidivism and allows us
to save money from having to build more prisons and also increases public safety because you have a better person
released than the one that you received. Mental health services – we all know what a priority that is."
Most state services are underfunded, and it shouldn't be that way in Texas, Whitmire said
"We do not live in a broke state," he said. "We live in a state led by those who want 'less government,' which I guess
means we cut the budget. But it's early in the process."

Alabama prison again on lockdown after another disturbance
By the Associated Press
ATMORE, Ala. — One of Alabama's toughest prisons was on lockdown Tuesday following the second incident since
March in which officers had to regain control of an inmate dormitory following a disturbance.
Officers were maintaining tighter‐than‐normal restrictions on inmate movement at Holman prison, said Bob Horton, a
spokesman for the Alabama Department of Corrections. Located in southwest Alabama, the maximum‐security prison
houses Alabama's death chamber and is badly overcrowded.
The trouble broke out in the same 150‐inmate dormitory that was the scene of an inmate uprising in March, Horton
said.
Officers responded to a fight between inmates about 3 p.m. Monday and other inmates then "became aggressive"
toward the guards, the prison system said in a statement. Officers secured the door of the housing area, and some
inmates inside started a fire inside.
Prisoners didn't resist when a team of officers wearing protective gear entered the dormitory about 9:45 p.m. Monday,
the department said. The fire caused some damage in the dorm but other parts of the prison were not affected.
Medical workers treated three inmates who suffered stab wounds during the initial fight, and all the men are expected
to survive, the agency said.
Horton said this week's disturbance involved a different group of inmates from the ones who disrupted the dormitory in
March. While many inmates live in cells, hundreds more are housed in large, open dormitories filled with bunk beds on
which prisoners sleep just a few feet apart.
In the spring uprising, the Holman warden and an officer suffered stab wounds. During the disturbance, prisonersin the
dormitory set a fire. All the inmates involved in that incident have since been transferred to other maximum‐security
prisons, Horton said.
A Department of Corrections report shows Holman was designed to hold 581 inmates but had 799 men in 835 beds at
the end of April, the last month for which statistics were available. The total included 159 men on death row.

Interactive map shows where Pa. inmates committed their crimes
By Rachel McDevitt
(Harrisburg) ‐‐ A new interactive map from the state Department of Corrections shows where inmates have committed
their crimes over the past three years.
This map is a complement to one released a month ago, which shows where inmates are going after they complete their
sentences.
"Our goals are to be transparent and to use data to drive policy. With these maps, everyone can obtain the information
and drive down into data that is from their local areas, " Corrections Secretary John Wetzel said. "This helps them to
potentially determine needs and services that may be required in the local communities for not only those leaving our
system, but also potentially for those entering the DOC."
Department spokeswoman Susan McNaughton says, the agency regularly get requests for this kind of data for research
purposes.
But, she notes, the maps should also be useful to local law enforcement agencies and social service providers.
"It gives a pretty good picture of who's coming into the system, right?" she said. "So based on that you can determine
what kind of things need to be done to maybe divert these individuals into a treatment program rather than the state
prison system."
Data are available for the years 2013 through 2015, and is broken down by committing county, type of admission, race,
gender, and the individual's risk of reoffending.

2,194 people were sentenced to state prison from Lancaster County in 2013‐15
By TIM BUCKWALTER
Lancaster County sent 2,194 people to state prisons in the past three years.
5
Conversely, 1,973 state prison inmates from Lancaster County were released.
The figures are available on new interactive maps posted online by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.
The maps show 2013‐2015 data for each county in Pennsylvania, as well as statewide statistics.
“Our goals are to be transparent and to use data to drive policy,” Corrections Secretary John Wetzel said in a press
release. “With these maps, everyone can obtain the information and drive down into data that is from their local areas.”
“This helps them to potentially determine needs and services that may be required in the local communities for not only
those leaving our system, but also potentially for those entering the DOC,” Wetzel said.
According the maps, Lancaster County accounts for fewer‐than‐average rates of inmates sentenced to, and released
from, state prisons.
In 2015, Lancaster County’s rate of state prison admissions was 13 per 10,000 residents, compared to 16.12 statewide.
Among neighboring counties, admission rates ranged from 29 per 10,000 in Dauphin to 8 in Chester. The rate was 20 in
Lebanon, 16 in Berks and 13 in York.
That same year, the rate of releases from state prisons was 13.14 per 10,000 for Lancaster County and 15.62 statewide.
Among neighboring counties, the release rate ranged from 28.83 in Dauphin to 8.16 in Chester. It was 16.20 in Lebanon,
15.92 in Berks and 14.36 in York.
Over the past three years, about 62 percent of those admitted to state prisons from Lancaster County were sentenced in
new court cases. The other 38 percent had violated parole either by committing new crimes or failing to meet technical
requirements of their parole.
Of inmates from Lancaster County who were released from state prisons in 2013‐15, some 15 percent had completed
their sentences and 84 percent were released on parole.

Msgr. William Lynn freed on bail until retrial in church sex abuse case
By Joe Slobodzian
After almost three years in prison for a conviction that has been reversed, Msgr. William J. Lynn went free Tuesday on
$250,000 bail pending a new trial over his handling of Catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children.
Officials at the state prison in Waymart in Northeastern Pennsylvania confirmed that Lynn ‐ Inmate KQ4194 ‐ was
released on bail Tuesday afternoon.
For Lynn, 65 ‐ the first Catholic Church official convicted for supervising pedophile priests ‐ the bail ruling by Philadelphia
Common Pleas Court Judge Gwendolyn N. Bright meant freedom and reunion with family.
But freedom was tempered by District Attorney Seth Williams' announcement that he will retry Lynn on the same
charge of child endangerment.
Bright ordered Lynn to appear at a hearing Thursday to schedule the trial, which she said would not happen until next
year.
After the brief hearing, defense attorney Thomas A. Bergstrom criticized the decision to retry Lynn.
"I'm not surprised and, frankly, we're prepared to try a fair trial any day," Bergstrom said.
Bergstrom called the case against Lynn "over the top, inaccurate and dishonest, but [Williams] is just hell‐bent on trying
this case. . . . For some reason, he continues to want to beat up on this guy.
"He's done 33 months along with 18 months' house arrest for something the Superior Court has now ruled was an unfair
trial," Bergstrom said.
Williams said the retrial was necessary because, "as secretary for clergy, Msgr. Lynn helped create a playbook for
handling someone who alleges that an archdiocesan priest is a pedophile."
That playbook, Williams said, involved sending accused priests for therapy in a church‐run clinic and then moving them
to a different parish without telling pastors or parishioners about the pedophile in their midst. Some of those priests
then preyed on other children.
6
Williams said the jury at Lynn's 2012 trial convicted him in spite of Lynn's testimony in his own defense: "He didn't say it
didn't happen. He just said his supervisors were more responsible than him."
"This case is very important for the community, for victims and institutions that shield pedophiles to know that we won't
allow it," Williams added.
Bergstrom said Lynn would initially live with family near Reading.
Bergstrom said he did not know if Lynn would resume pastoral duties pending trial, but added that Philadelphia
Archbishop Charles J. Chaput has kept in regular contact with Lynn in prison.
Lynn was charged in February 2011 following a Philadelphia grand jury report. The archdiocese has funded his defense
through the 13‐week trial in 2012, two rounds of appeals to the state Supreme Court and now the retrial to come.
Tuesday's bail hearing came one week after Pennsylvania's Supreme Court affirmed a Superior Court opinion reversing
Lynn's 2012 conviction and ordering a new trial.
Lynn was not accused of molesting children. Instead, prosecutors alleged that as Lynn was not accused of molesting
children. Instead, prosecutors alleged that as secretary for clergy ‐ responsible for investigating allegations against
priests and recommending action ‐ Lynn continued the church's long‐standing practice of rotating pedophile priests from
parish to parish.
To establish that Lynn was part of the archdiocese's governing culture, prosecutors at trial introduced historical
information on clergy sex abuse including about two dozen case histories, some dating to the 1940s.
The first round of appeals in Lynn's case established that church officials can be held criminally liable for the crimes of
clergy they supervise.

Man sentenced to house arrest for throwing urine
HOLLIDAYSBURG ‐ An Altoona man accused of throwing urine in the face of a Blair County Prison corrections officer has
entered a no contest plea and will serve at least 18 months on house arrest.
Carlos Eric Lawrence, 37, entered his plea on Monday to aggravated assault by a prisoner and additional charges,
thereby avoiding what was expected to be a jury trial later this month.
Judge Timothy Sullivan, who heard the plea, imposed the house arrest sentence of 18 months to 48 months, at any
approved residence, followed by four years' probation.
Lawrence was in prison last October on a misdemeanor assault charge when he was accused of throwing a cup of urine
in the face of a corrections officer.
Hollidaysburg police, who investigated the incident, said the corrections officer saw Lawrence stooped down beside the
toilet in his cell, scooping urine into a cup. Police said Lawrence threw the urine toward the officer, hitting the officer's
face and chest.
Lawrence remained in jail through April when he met bail conditions

Sayre man charged for vandalism at the Bradford County prison
BY RUSSELL PEKELNICKY
Erik Ryan Agnew, 33, of Sayre is facing charges of institutional vandalism and criminal mischief after an incident at
Bradford County Correctional Facility.
Pennsylvania State Police said Agnew, who had been arrested on separate charges, was in a holding cell when he used a
ring on his left hand to damage security glass.
Police said he repeatedly struck the glass — valued at an estimated $1,000 — with his left hand.

Man Sneaks Heroin Into Chester County Prison: DA
By Justin Heinze
A man recently arrested in Phoenixville on drug charges allegedly snuck heroin into Chester County prison, where he
distributed it, according to the Chester County District Attorney's Office.
Jarrett Mason was arrested in Phoenixville on July 15 on drug charges, the DA said. During his arrest, he hid heroin from
authorities in his hair and was then taken to the prison on S. Wawaset Road in West Chester.
On July 16, another inmate reported that Mason was dealing the heroin around the prison, the DA said.
Correctional officers searched Mason, and found that he had moved the heroin inside his body to hide it, officials said.
Mason has been charged with felony counts of furnishing contraband and drug dealing in prison, among other charges,
according to the DA.

Delaware Court says state death penalty law unconstitutional
By Randall Chase
ASSOCIATED PRESS (08/02/2016)
DOVER, Del. (AP) ‐‐ Delaware's death penalty law is unconstitutional in light of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling earlier this
year, the state's high court ruled Tuesday.
In a 148‐page opinion, a majority of the Delaware Supreme Court justices said the state law violates the U.S.
Constitution because it allows a judge to sentence a person to death independently of a jury's recommendation.
The court also said the law is unconstitutional because it does not require jurors to be unanimous in finding aggravating
circumstances that weigh in favor of the death penalty.
Questions were raised about Delaware's law after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a similar death penalty statute in
Florida.
Santino Ceccotti, a lawyer with the Delaware public defender's office who argued the case before the Supreme Court,
said he was pleased with the ruling but noted the state attorney general's office could appeal the decision in federal
court.
A spokeswoman for the Delaware Department of Justice said in an email that the agency is reviewing the decision.
Ceccotti said it remains to be seen whether the ruling could be applied retroactively to the 13 men currently on
Delaware's death row.
"What we know for sure is that the scheme in Delaware is unconstitutional ... and that will have a direct impact on cases
that are pending," he said.
Ceccotti said all defendants in cases in which prosecutors are seeking the death penalty will have to be charged with a
different offense.
"With this decision, capital murder is no longer an option," he said.

State corrections officials begin reforms for inmates with HIV and disabilities
By PASHTANA USUFZY
A month after the U.S. Department of Justice found the state’s Corrections Department discriminated against inmates
with HIV and disabilities, officials promised a complete turnaround.
8
Less than two weeks after offering that promise, they’re taking action, according to a Nevada Department of Corrections
representative.
“We don’t have a time limit, but we’re not wasting any time,” said spokeswoman Brooke Keast.
Last week the department removed a medical code from its computer system that could reveal a prisoner’s HIV‐positive
status to unauthorized staffers.
Department Director James Dzurenda, who began his job in April, called for staff to prevent unauthorized access to
information regarding inmates’ HIV statuses after receiving the June 20 Justice Department letter.
The letter, prompted by complaints from HIV‐positive inmates at High Desert State Prison in Indian Springs, found the
department was housing inmates with HIV separately from other inmates, thereby divulging the prisoners’ medical
information.
The Justice Department also found HIV‐positive inmates were being barred by prison staffers from culinary jobs in the
facilities, which violates Department of Corrections guidelines.
Inmates with HIV and disabilities were also being denied opportunities to earn work credit and reduce their sentences at
lower‐security conservation camps and transitional‐housing facilities, the letter said.
Dzurenda told the Review‐Journal last month that he was shocked to learn of the violations and that the law “prohibits
agencies from doing what we were doing.”
Now, corrections officials and staffers are focusing on making the changes laid out in their promise.
Among the changes is discussing housing with HIV‐positive inmates.
Because the number of staffers allowed access to an inmate’s HIV status is small, few workers can meet with HIV‐
positive prisoners to discuss their eligibility to move out of segregated housing and whether or not they want to move,
Keast said.
She added that the process to have those conversations is under way but no timeline was immediately available.
Director of The Center for Prisoner Health and Human Rights Josiah D. Rich, a doctor and Brown University professor,
said the need for HIV‐positive inmate privacy is great and that there’s no proven reason for segregated housing.
“The confidentiality issue is a real one,” he said. “There is very real stigma about HIV and fear and ignorance.”
Rich said he believes prisons should offer routine HIV testing and protect the confidentiality of inmates who test
positive.
Keast said the Corrections Department has about 130 HIV‐positive individuals in custody and that prisoners are screened
when they enter custody, when they leave, and if there’s suspicion that they may have contracted the virus.
Reports still need to be made to the Justice Department about the findings of the letter, and the staff is working to
educate corrections officers and others about the changes, Keast said.

Prison System Ponders $250 Million in Budget Cuts
By Johnathan Silver
Told to prepare a budget that cuts spending by four percent, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice is drawing up a
legislative request for the 2018‐2019 biennium that would slash its operating budget by about $250 million.
The agency won't say what potential savings — including closing prisons or figuring out how to release more non‐
violent inmates — might be in the mix, but its request will launch the biennial dance with lawmakers over funding for
the nation's largest prison system.
In late June, Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Joe Straus instructed most state agencies to
submit budget plans reflecting the four percent reduction target, setting that as the "starting point" for 2017 budget
negotiations.
With a more than $3 billion annual operating budget, about 40,000 employees and close to 150,000 inmates, TDCJ could
chase that goal by closing prisons, reducing the inmate population and changing how Texas uses its state jail system,
policymakers and analysts say.
In 2013, the agency shut down two privately run state jails after the Legislature cut almost $100 million from its budget.
More closures may be in the offing, said Scott Henson, author of the criminal justice blog Grits for Breakfast.
9
Dawson State Jail, one of the two former TDCJ facilities, closed down to the Dallas community's delight because it was
by the Trinity River where major development efforts were in the works. City officials welcomed the opening up of the
land.
"If we were to assume that that would probably be the driving interest that the Legislature cares about most going
forward, that leads you to look at a little cluster of prisons outside of Richmond, also in Fort Bend, like the Central Unit,"
near where high‐dollar homes sit, Henson said. "[That] sounds more possible because there's so much more economic
incentive."

incentive."
What could work in Fort Bend County, though, might not in other places, Henson said.
"The reason they don't want to close prisons is 'cause it's jobs," he said. "You go into Palestine, Texas, and say you're
going to close prisons. Well, that's a significant part of the labor force. But Fort Bend County's growth has nothing to do
with the prison industry, and in fact, there are higher, better uses for that property."

prisons. Well, that's a significant part of the labor force. But Fort Bend County's growth has nothing to do with the prison
industry, and in fact, there are higher, better uses for that property.”
Outdated and dilapidated units might also be prime for closure, Henson said, such as the Pack Unit near Navasota where
inmates have sued TDCJ over high arsenic levels in the drinking water.
Money might also be saved by cutting down inmate populations in the state jail system, which is separate from the
prison system but run by TDCJ, said Michele Deitch, a senior lecturer at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University
of Texas at Austin. The 19 state jails hold low‐level offenders for no longer than two years and was designed as a backup
for people under community supervision.
"It's moved so far from it's original conception that it's unrecognizable," said Deitch, who was part of the office that
designed the system in the early 1990s. "It has not been a success at all. It has the largest recidivism rate of any part of
the criminal justice system, within any part of TDCJ, and the inmates are not getting the kinds of programs and services
they need. They get no supervision or services when they get out, and so reentry is very problematic. And there's a lot of
people who are locked up in state jails that really don't need to be there."
On the front end, the Legislature and local communities could whittle the inmate population with drug sentencing
reforms and by using treatment and other diversion techniques as alternatives to locking up offenders for nonviolent
crimes, policy analysts said.
10
Diversion could save the agency and taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, said Marc Levin, director of the Center for
Effective Justice at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. A prisoner who costs the state $53 a day could cost $3 a day as a
parolee or less than $2 a day as a probationer because they pay fees out of their own pockets, Levin said.
Utah and Alaska recently enacted laws reducing drug possession offense classifications from felonies to misdemeanors,
he said.
Texas could also lock up fewer people for violating conditions of their probation and supervised release, Levin said.
An emphasis on treatment, especially within an offender's community, makes a positive difference, Levin said. "What we
really want to avoid is to make sure budget cuts don't come from probation, diversion programs, parole," he said.
Locking someone up for nonviolent, drug‐related offenses does little to help them, said Elizabeth Henneke, a policy
analyst for the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition. Keeping them in prison, where there are "no bills, no stress of job, no
stress of family, that doesn't translate well when they get home because additional stressors come in."
"Do these folks need to be locked up for the fact that person abused drugs, or can they stay in their community and
participate with substance abuse counseling, get the treatment they need in an effective way?" Henneke asked.
State Sen. John Whitmire, a Houston Democrat and the Senate's most powerful voice on criminal justice issues, said he
will try to spare the prison system from budget cuts next session.
"TDCJ's greatest expense is personnel. You have to secure the prison. So you sure as hell can't cut that," Whitmire said.
"Rehabilitation – drug, alcohol, is too critical a service to cut, because it's actually what reduces recidivism and allows us
to save money from having to build more prisons and also increases public safety because you have a better person
released than the one that you received. Mental health services – we all know what a priority that is."
Most state services are underfunded, and it shouldn't be that way in Texas, Whitmire said
"We do not live in a broke state," he said. "We live in a state led by those who want 'less government,' which I guess
means we cut the budget. But it's early in the process."

Alabama prison again on lockdown after another disturbance
By the Associated Press
ATMORE, Ala. — One of Alabama's toughest prisons was on lockdown Tuesday following the second incident since
March in which officers had to regain control of an inmate dormitory following a disturbance.
Officers were maintaining tighter‐than‐normal restrictions on inmate movement at Holman prison, said Bob Horton, a
spokesman for the Alabama Department of Corrections. Located in southwest Alabama, the maximum‐security prison
houses Alabama's death chamber and is badly overcrowded.
The trouble broke out in the same 150‐inmate dormitory that was the scene of an inmate uprising in March, Horton
said.
Officers responded to a fight between inmates about 3 p.m. Monday and other inmates then "became aggressive"
toward the guards, the prison system said in a statement. Officers secured the door of the housing area, and some
inmates inside started a fire inside.
Prisoners didn't resist when a team of officers wearing protective gear entered the dormitory about 9:45 p.m. Monday,
the department said. The fire caused some damage in the dorm but other parts of the prison were not affected.
Medical workers treated three inmates who suffered stab wounds during the initial fight, and all the men are expected
to survive, the agency said.
Horton said this week's disturbance involved a different group of inmates from the ones who disrupted the dormitory in
March. While many inmates live in cells, hundreds more are housed in large, open dormitories filled with bunk beds on
which prisoners sleep just a few feet apart.
In the spring uprising, the Holman warden and an officer suffered stab wounds. During the disturbance, prisonersin the
dormitory set a fire. All the inmates involved in that incident have since been transferred to other maximum‐security
prisons, Horton said.
A Department of Corrections report shows Holman was designed to hold 581 inmates but had 799 men in 835 beds at
the end of April, the last month for which statistics were available. The total included 159 men on death row.

CENTRE COUNTY GOVERNMENT
2017 BUDGET
Function: Public Safety - Corrections
Department: Correctional Facility
Fund Type: General Fund
Description:
The Centre County Correctional Facility functions as a
Detention Facility for those offenders who are pre-trial and
non-convicted and cannot meet the requirements of bond or
bail. It also serves as the Correctional Facility for offenders
that have been adjudicated and sentenced and can become
eligible for various programs and treatment that will
encourage a productive re-entry into society thus reducing
recidivism.
The Centre County Correctional Facility mission and
philosophy is to ensure the protection and safety of the
community and to maintain a safe and secure environment
for those who work in it and for those who are legally
committed to our care and custody.
The Centre County Correctional Facility 2016 Budget will
have as its central theme, Reentry of Inmates into society. It
is our intent that we work on expansion of programs with an
effort to have greater oversights and participation of security
staff in this process. We are researching and will be
implementing a new risk assessment tool to focus on the
inmates most likely to reoffend.
With all the changes to improve the safety and security of
running the facility, a focus will be made to give all staff
adequate training and time to read, comprehend, and follow
all posted policies and directives.
Highlights/Goals:
Maintain safe and secure operations of the Centre
County Correctional Facility.
Maintain and continue to expand the Intensive Drug and
Alcohol Education Programs PRIDE (male program) and
CHOICES (female program).
In addition, the following upgrades to facility Security and
Operations are as follows:
Phase I of V of a complete replacement of security
hardware in the facility.
An additional industrial dryer to consolidate and
centralize laundry.
Equipment to expand the Nutrition Program by the Penn
State Cooperative Extension Program.
Completion of security and safety upgrades on hold from
the current 2015 Budget due to failure to pass the
Pennsylvania State Budget.

Yesterday, I had looked in the book to take 4 hours of personal time for the end of my shift on Friday. This morning I was
denied due to Hampton already being the last person off, but it was not in the book till this morning. I was wondering if
you would let me take off the time.
Thank you.

Kevin:
We have our contractor lined up to install a number of bus shelters tomorrow and Friday this week. One of those is the
one at the Centre County Correctional Facility. The earliest he would be there id Thursday afternoon; more likely
sometime Friday. Once the shelter is in place, our maintenance staff will install the solar light. The contractor doing the
installation is Tim Holsinger, JRT Painting & Remodeling; Do you need any additional information from me? Would you
like him to check in before starting the work?

DOH Launches Prescription Drug Monitoring Program to
Combat Opioid Abuse – Here’s What You Need to Know
The Pennsylvania Medical Society (PAMED) recently learned that the Pennsylvania Department
of Health (DOH) announced, in an email sent to all licensed medical professionals in PA, that
registration for the commonwealth’s new prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) will
open on Aug. 8, 2016. Once you have registered, DOH says, the PA PDMP system will be ready
for query starting on Aug. 25, 2016.
The PA PDMP web portal will enable Pennsylvania prescribers to easily look up your patients’
controlled substance prescription history (schedules II – V) before prescribing.
Once the program is launched in August, prescribers shall query the system for each patient
when the patient is prescribed a controlled substance for the first time or when the prescribers
have reason to believe that a patient may be abusing or diverting drugs.
To make consistent use of the PA PDMP system more practicable, prescribers can grant access
to the delegates under their employment or supervision to query the system on their behalf.
However, prescribers must give first preference to a professional nurse licensed by the State
Board of Nursing as their delegates.
Here’s what you need to know about your querying and reporting responsibilities, as well as who
will have access to the data.
Reporting Requirements
Pharmacies (including mail order and Internet pharmacies), in addition to health care
practitioners who dispense scheduled II – V controlled substances, will be required to
electronically report prescription dispensing information to the PDMP. When a controlled
substance is dispensed, the information must be reported to the system within 72 hours. This
dispenser reporting requirement went into effect on June 24, 2016.
Exemptions — A health care practitioner will not be required to report to the PA PDMP system
when he/she is a/an:
Licensed health care facility that distributes the controlled substance for the purpose of
administration in the licensed health care facility.
Correctional facility or its contractors if the confined person cannot lawfully visit a prescriber
outside the correctional facility without being escorted by a corrections officer.
Authorized person who administers a controlled substance, other drug, or device.
Wholesale distributor of a controlled substance.
Licensed provider in the Living Independence for the Elderly (LIFE) program (LIFE is a
managed care program that provides medical and supportive service to eligible older individuals
so they can continue to live independently).
Provider of hospice as defined in the act of July 19, 1979 (P.L.130, No.48), known as the Health
Care Facilities Act.
Prescriber at a licensed health care facility if the quantity of controlled substances dispensed is
limited to an amount adequate to treat the patient for a maximum of five days and does not allow
for a refill.
Veterinarian.
Access to Data
A prescriber shall query the system:
For each patient the first time the patient is prescribed a controlled substance by the prescriber
for purposes of establishing a base line and a thorough medical record; or
If a prescriber believes or has reason to believe, using sound clinical judgment, that a patient may
be abusing or diverting drugs.
Prescribers may designate employees as delegates for purposes of accessing the system
according to standards established by the PA PDMP Office. In assigning a designee, a prescriber
shall give preference to a professional nurse licensed by the State Board of Nursing.
A prescriber may query the system for:
An existing patient; and
Prescriptions written using the prescriber's own Drug Enforcement Administration number
A dispenser or pharmacy shall electronically submit information to the system regarding each
controlled substance dispensed:
The full name of the prescriber
The prescriber's Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) registration number
The date the prescription was written
The date the prescription was dispensed
The full name, date of birth, gender and address of the person for whom the prescription was
written and dispensed
The National Drug Code (NDC)
Quantity and Days' supply
The DEA registration number and National Provider Identifier of the dispenser or pharmacy
The method of payment for the prescription
A dispenser or pharmacy shall submit all information to the system no later than 72 hours after
dispensing a controlled substance. Once the PA PDMP system is available, dispensers may
designate other pharmacy employees for the purpose of accessing the system based on standards
established by the PA PDMP Office.
A dispenser or pharmacy may query the system for a current patient to whom the dispenser is
dispensing or considering dispensing any controlled substance.
The information being collected is safeguarded in both its collection and distribution. By state
law, the data is confidential and not subject to disclosure under the act of Feb. 14, 2008 (P.L.6,
No.3), known as the Right-to-Know Law. Access is restricted to approved, authorized users
identified in the act of Oct. 27, 2014 (P.L. 2911, No. 191, known as the Achieving Better Care
by Monitoring All Prescriptions Act).
Why Registering for System Access (Available Aug. 8, 2016) Will Be Important to Your
Daily Practice of Medicine
When access is granted, you can log on and view controlled substance prescription history of
your patient. If you see a pattern of excessive use of controlled substances, you can use more
caution in prescribing or dispensing to the patient.
The database allows prescribers to detect pharmacy errors or fraudulent use of their DEA
numbers. With access to the PA PDMP, a prescriber can query to find out which prescriptions
for controlled substances were attributed to their DEA number.
When preparing for new patients, big or small practice physicians with access can query or allow
their delegates to query for prescription information on a new patient they will be seeing at a
future appointment. This allows you to check on a patients' Schedule II - V controlled substance
drug history and look for any red flags before prescribing a controlled substance to the new
patient.
The PDMP provides an important tool to health care professionals. It is intended to serve as a
means to promote and improve patient well-being through better coordination of care, and to
reduce the risk of addiction, diversion and overdose. It is not intended to interfere with the
legitimate medical use of controlled substances.

Wellness Tip August 3, 2016
Known as the “Immortal Health Elixir” by the Chinese and originating in the Far East around 2,000 years
ago, kombucha is a beverage with tremendous health benefits.
Kombucha is a fermented beverage of black tea and sugar (from various sources including cane sugar, fruit
or honey) that’s used as a functional food. It contains a colony of bacteria and yeast that are responsible
for initiating the fermentation process once combined with sugar. After being fermented, kombucha
becomes carbonated and contains vinegar, b‐vitamins, enzymes, probiotics and a high concentration of
acid (acetic, gluconic and lactic), which are tied with the following effects:
Improved Digestion
Weight Loss
Increased Energy
Cleansing and Detoxification
Immune Support
Reduced Joint Pain
Cancer Prevention
The sugar‐tea solution is fermented by bacteria and yeast commonly known as a “SCOBY” (symbiotic
colony of bacteria and yeast). Although it’s usually made with black tea, kombucha can also be made with
green tea too.
You can make kombucha yourself at home or buy it for $3–$5 a bottle at most health food stores and some
coffee shops.

- Either 1 large cheesecloth [which is a
cloth that allows air to pass through

DIRECTIONS
1. Bring your water to boil in a big pot on the stove top. Once boiling. remove from the heat and add your
teabags and sugarr stirring until the sugar dissolves.
2. Allow the pot to sit and the tea to steep for about 15 mlnutes, then remove and dlscard tea bags
3. Let the mixture cool down to room temperature {which usually takes about one hour}. Once it is cooled,
add your tea mixture to your big jarr'bowl. Drop in your disk and 1 cup of pre?made kombucha.
4.Cover yourjarfbowl with your cheese cloth or thin kitchen towel and try to keep the cloth in plate by using
a tie. You want the cloth to cover the wlde opening of thejar and to stay in place. but to allow air to pass
through.

*Note that as the fermentation process happens, you will notice that the SCOBY disk “grows” a second
SCOBY disk. Many people call the SCOBY that you purchased and used to make the kombucha the
“mother” SCOBY and the second SCOBY that grows the “baby.” The mother SCOBY is located on top of
the baby.
You can actually use the newly formed baby SCOBY to create a whole new batch of kombucha, so you
don’t want to throw out the baby disk. Store the baby SCOBY in a bit of already‐made kombucha in a glass
jar while not using it, so you have it on hand to start a new batch when you want it. It will “active” for
several weeks when it’s stored in some kombucha at room temperature on a counter top. While some
people prefer to keep the mother scoby disk attached to the baby, others prefer to throw away the
mother SCOBY once the kombucha is finished fermenting.
It seems to work well both ways and keeping the mother disk hasn’t caused any reported problems or
contamination. According to some sources, the mother disk can keep fermenting new kombucha batches
for about another month after its first use, but then will become inactive and should be thrown away.
Kombucha’s Potential Side Effects
Most people experience great benefits drinking kombucha and have no negative side effects. However,
there are possible interactions and side effect symptoms to be aware of, mostly in populations that
already have weakened immune systems and digestive problems. Side effects seem to be more of a risk
when making homemade kombucha because contamination is possible and the SCOBY disk and finished
products both aren’t tested for quality control, like they are when larger manufacturers produce them. If
you’re going to brew your own, pay careful attention to using sterile equipment, clean working spaces and
high‐quality ingredients.
A small percentage of people have experienced stomach upset, infections and allergic reactions when
drinking kombucha. Because kombucha has a high level of acidity, it’s possible that this can cause
problems for people with digestive problems like stomach ulcers, heartburn, or any sensitivity to very
acidic foods.
It’s a good idea to start with a small amount in moderation and gradually work your way up to drinking
more in order to see if you have any negative reaction to it. Stick to about 8 ounces per day, especially in
the beginning. To limit your risk, buy pre‐made kombucha that’s been tested for bacterial contamination.
Other groups that might want to limit their kombucha consumption include: people with leaky gut
syndrome, those with very poor immune systems and pregnant women.

Warden,
During the CJAB meeting last Friday there was a discussion about Vivitrol and Narcan use in policing and
corrections. Dee Elbell recommended that we put on next week’s Board agenda that we are planning to discuss Narcan
for the facility with PrimeCare Medical at the upcoming Quarterly Meeting now that PCM has a standard policy and
training. I believe it will be viewed positively, with all our police department either already having it or seeking grants
for it. I think most people are now aware of its intended use and effects.

Yesterday, I had looked in the book to take 4 hours of personal time for the end of my shift on Friday. This morning I was
denied due to Hampton already being the last person off, but it was not in the book till this morning. I was wondering if
you would let me take off the time.
Thank you.

RE: Request for Information: Policy Question
Adams County assigns OC Spray to every officer on every post. This is passed on to oncoming shifts on every block. It is
tracked on the equipment inventory log for every post and logged in as part of the officers equipment received when
taking over the shift for each individual post.

Athletes to Watch at the Summer Olympics
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is Friday. These are the
athletes with breakout potential you need to know before the flame is lit.
Rio Preparations Stagger to the Finish Line
Sewage in the water. Zika virus concerns. Political upheaval. As Brazil
prepares to showcase itself to the world, it's struggling to put its best foot
forward.

American Simone Biles might already be the greatest gymnast in history.
All she needs is an Olympic medal to cap a brilliant career.

--------------------------------------------------Pennsylvania State & County Corrections
State
PennLive (07/29/2016)
http://www.pennlive.com/news/2016/07/court_reinstates_inmates_exces.html
An inmate's excessive force complaint has been reinstated because a federal appeals
court panel says the State Correctional Institution at Rockview waited four months to
respond to his grievance and repeatedly ignored his requests for a decision.
"We hope the events that transpired in this case are not reflective of the way in which
SCI Rockview responds to inmate grievances generally," a three-judge panel of the U.S.
Third Circuit Court of Appeals said Thursday.
The Department of Corrections does not comment on pending litigation, spokeswoman
Amy Worden said Friday.
The ruling vacates the decision of U.S. Middle District Judge Robert D. Mariani in
Scranton, who had dismissed the complaint filed by Mark A. Robinson on the grounds
the inmate had not exhausted his administrative remedies.
In reversing Mariani, the appeals court found the prison's administrative remedies
"unavailable" to Robinson because Rockview repeatedly failed to respond to his
grievance.
The record reveals Robinson pursued his abuse claim properly at every step including
submitting immediately in compliance with the Corrections Department's abuse policy
two written reports dealing with his excessive force claim, the opinion states.
Not only did Rockview fail to respond by its self-imposed deadline, the "prison refused
to update Robinson on the status of his grievance after receiving three requests," the
document states.
After not receiving a response from the prison, despite repeated requests, Robinson
filed suit on Feb. 5, 2010. Six weeks later, Rockview notified him his grievance had
been denied.
Robinson, who is serving a life sentence for second-degree murder from Philadelphia,
alleged in his complaint a lieutenant at Rockview, upon removing his handcuffs after
escorting him to his cell from the showers on Oct. 9, 2009, twisted his left arm real hard.
Robinson, who is now at the Fayette state prison in LaBelle, claimed the guard said
"since this is my last day, I wanted to leave you with a present."
Although provided prescription medication, the inmate claimed he experienced pain for
months.

Tribune Review (07/30/2016)
http://triblive.com/mobile/10817177-96/williams-job-bull
Some employers take chance on former convicts but obstacles remain
By Chris Fleisher
The construction industry said it needed more skilled carpenters, and Joshua Williams
had the training, but the best job he could find was scrubbing toilets at a church.
Nobody else was willing to take a chance on an ex-convict, he said.
“Once I was released (from prison), I never imagined how difficult it would be after that,”
said Williams, 36, of Coraopolis.
Williams spent five years at a maximum-security facility in Fayette County after pleading
guilty in 2010 to armed robbery and felony drug charges. He makes no excuses for his
actions and says he “earned every day” that he was incarcerated.
But he did what prisoners are told to do, which is use the time to better themselves. He
sought training in carpentry and HVAC installation. He stayed out of trouble. And when
freed last year, he learned a hard lesson: Rehabilitation behind bars did not mean
society would welcome him back.
An estimated 70 million Americans have arrests or convictions, an enormous pool of
talent that often goes overlooked because companies won't consider job applicants with
a criminal history.
The issue has gained heightened attention as prison populations swell and employers
struggle to replace a wave of retiring baby boomers without enough qualified younger
workers to step in. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has called for
opening more employment opportunities for people coming out of prison. In April, 19
large corporations, including Google, Uber and Facebook, signed the Obama
administration's “Fair Chance Business Pledge” that they would reduce barriers to hiring
ex-offenders.
Impediments that prevented ex-felons from finding jobs cost the U.S. economy an
estimated $78 billion to $87 billion in lost productivity in 2014, according to the Center
for Economic and Policy Research, a left-leaning think tank in Washington D.C.
“The fact that it's gotten so much attention at the federal level has been a sea change,”
said Lois Davis, a senior policy researcher at the Rand Corp. in California. “But the
barriers are numerous.”
BAN THE BOX
A big barrier has been requirements to disclose a criminal record on job applications.
Anyone who checks “the box” is not likely to get an interview, much less hired, job
experts say. Rick Keller said he knew his chances dimmed whenever he got “the look”
from a hiring manager who noted his criminal past.
“You can just tell,” said Keller, 39, of Coal Center. “They see that and you can tell by the
expression on their face.”
Nine states prohibit private employers from asking job seekers about their criminal
record until after offering a job. Pennsylvania is not among them, although Pittsburgh
has a “ban the box” ordinance for city employees and contractors.
Keller had highway construction experience before he was imprisoned on a felony drug
conviction in 2009. He spent three years in prison and emerged without any career
prospects. But he got lucky. After a few frustrating weeks of job searching, a friend
suggested he apply to Envirosafe Strippings, a coatings and surface company in
Carnegie. It was sympathetic to ex-convicts.
Keller was hired as a general laborer and has since been promoted to floor manager.
He is not the only ex-convict on Envirosafe's payroll. Two-thirds of the 35-person
workforce have prison records, mostly for drug offenses, owner George Vorel said.
Seven years ago, Vorel said he'd have never taken a chance on an ex-felon with a drug
history. Then his daughter developed a heroin addiction and his perspective changed.
“That was the trigger,” Vorel said.
His daughter has since quit using drugs and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh
with her bachelor's degree in social work. Witnessing her recovery made him more
sympathetic to individuals with a checkered past, he said.
But his motivation to hire ex-cons isn't just about having a heart. Vorel has practical
concerns.
“Of the top-10 job descriptions that have the greatest need, one of them is industrial
painting,” Vorel said. “We have a need, we can't fill this need, so we say how about all
of these guys that are incarcerated? It's working for us.”
Not every hiring decision has worked out. Some of Envirosafe's employees have
returned to using drugs, he said, leading to their dismissal.
Employers often cite these risks in refusing to hire an ex-con, or use it to justify paying
them less, advocates of ex-offenders say.
SECURITY CONCERNS
There are also barriers that come from outside the company.
“The challenge that we run into bringing former convicts into the trades is that with
heightened security risks everywhere, schools and hospitals and energy facilities are
tightening their requirements (for contractors),” said Jack Ramage, executive director of
the Master Builders Association of Western Pennsylvania. “School districts are treating
construction workers just like they treat teachers aides or coaches.”
This issue was highlighted in a dispute between a union representing 21 roofers who
had been banned from jobs on school property at Fox Chapel Area, North Allegheny
and Montour school districts. State law requires school employees and subcontractors
to pass a criminal background check. The roofers failed those checks, but they
eventually prevailed in court when a judge ruled that the requirement was misapplied
because the roofers had no direct contact with children. School officials maintain they
were in the right.
“We certainly advocate for people being able to work and earn a living,” said Gene
Freeman, Fox Chapel's superintendent, in a June letter to the editor of the Trib.
“However, when it comes to the safety of our children we always need to err on the side
of caution and do what is best for our students.”
Companies say they sympathize with ex-felons but won't lower their workplace
standards.
They don't have to, advocates say.
“You do not need to adjust any qualifications,” said Dan Bull, an executive vice
president at Nello Construction and a former felon. “You just need to adjust their hiring
policies.”
Bull served 21 months at Elkton Prison near Lisbon, Ohio, after he misappropriated
three-quarters of a million dollars from a company he launched six years ago. His
victims included friends and family.
Bull's job search when he was released in 2013 was difficult. He received a few offers,
only to have them revoked when a company's higher-up saw his criminal history, he
said.
Eight months after regaining his freedom, Nello gave Bull the opportunity he needed.
“I've screwed up, but I've seen from personal experience the power of having a second
chance,” Bull said.
He has been paying it forward. Bull created a business incubator on the South Side for
companies either started by ex-offenders or willing to hire them. The incubator is called
Zerosixeight — the last three digits on a federal inmate's identification number in
Western Pennsylvania.
Williams is a former felon Bull has helped. In June, Williams started working for
WorkPittsburgh, a home builder Bull co-founded in the incubator.
Williams is trying to move beyond his criminal past. Still, he keeps a permanent
reminder of it stained on his body, a memento from his time behind bars.
A tattooed chain wraps his left wrist. It's not just a reminder of his punishment, he said.
The chain is a symbol of self-determination.
Williams turned his hand over, palm facing up, to reveal a broken link where you might
have the buckle of a watch band.
“I'll always be free, even on the inside,” Williams said, explaining the broken chain link.
“I think true freedom is a state of mind.”

Ex-church official seeks freedom after conviction tossed
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A former Philadelphia church official imprisoned over his
handling of abuse complaints is seeking bail after Pennsylvania's highest court granted
him a new trial.
Monsignor William Lynn is the first person ever charged and convicted of helping the
Roman Catholic Church shield child molesters within its ranks.
Appeals courts have wrestled ever since with the legality of his conviction.
Lynn has been in and out of prison as the courts have twice thrown out his conviction.
He's served nearly three years of a three- to six-year sentence, and is due to be paroled
in October.
Defense lawyer Thomas Bergstrom plans to ask a judge on Tuesday to release the 65year-old Lynn.
Prosecutors have not said whether they hope to retry the longtime secretary for clergy.

Harrisburg's latest homicide victim was 'trying to do the right thing by his kids'
By Christine Vendel
HARRISBURG—Bryan Taylor liked to read books, spend time with his children and
watch the History Channel.
He was also tough, fearless and never backed down from a fight.
Taylor, 32, carried groceries for his aunt, performed odd jobs for older relatives and
literally gave the coat off his back to an impoverished friend from Alabama.
He also spent seven years behind bars, off-and-on since 2003, for drug charges and
other crimes, including carrying a gun without a license.
Taylor, who was shot to death early Saturday in Harrisburg, wasn't easily defined,
according to close friends and relatives. His interests varied widely, from cooking to
drawing to his beloved Golden State Warriors basketball team. He was considered a
role model, encouraging his kids to pursue an education, but he also made some bad
decisions that netted him a felony record.
Despite the ups and downs of his life, Taylor wasn't a trouble-maker, said Latisha
Morton, who knew Taylor since high school. Instead, she said, he was known for always
being in good spirits.
"He was hard-working," she said. "But he seemed to find trouble somehow."
Taylor got out of prison most recently at the end of May, and immediately lined up a job
at a shoe warehouse. He also cut hair as a second job.
"He was trying to do the right thing by his kids," said Morton.
Taylor had three daughters and one son. He also took on a role with at least two other
boys who didn't have an active father in their lives.
Taylor wanted to find a higher-paying job, to better provide for his kids, but he didn't
have a car and was limited to jobs where he could arrange steady transportation,
Morton said.
Taylor hit a low point a few weeks ago, wondering if he could ever fully rebuild his life
the way he wanted, said Tyan Sheppard, a former girlfriend and mother of two boys that
Taylor mentored.
"He didn't feel like he was getting anywhere," she said. "But I told him, things are a
process and just stick with it."
Taylor bounced back and rededicated himself to staying the course, she said. They
talked about trying to save money to take the kids to Disney World for a vacation for
Christmas "to build memories," instead of buying sneakers or video games for them.
Taylor had a good day at work Friday and called Sheppard afterward to arrange to pick
up her sons for haircuts on Saturday. That was the last time she spoke to him.
About eight hours later, Taylor was shot to death in the 1400 block of Vernon Street.
Police have released virtually no information about the case other than the time, 3:40
a.m., and the location.
But friends of Taylor indicated his death may have stemmed from an argument.
"It's sad you gotta worry about your life being taken in an argument," said Tionna
Mangus, who considered Taylor a brother. "An argument shouldn't be a reason to kill
somebody."
Taylor may have had a "hard shell," Taylor said, but it was only because he was "soft on
the inside.
"He had a very caring heart," Mangus said. "He was a very emotional person, probably
because he had a hard life."
Taylor originally was from California and moved around a lot. He spent several years as
a teenager in Montgomery, Ala., where he moved in with a friend's family.
One of those friends, Edward McDonald, described Taylor as one of the strongest,
toughest, most courageous men he knew. "He was so loyal," McDonald said. "He would
die for one of his loved ones...He had no fear in him at all. He would pop off, like a
bodyguard to protect us."
The people who knew Taylor in Alabama called him, "New York," because of his East
Coast ties and accent, McDonald said. Some people were jealous of his confidence and
swagger, McDonald said, and that would cause occasional conflicts.
But McDonald also likes to talk about the softer side of Taylor, the person who got
baptized at age 17 and who volunteered to help people, at any cost.
"He was always giving stuff away," McDonald said. "That's why he didn't have much,
because he was always giving it away."
"Even though he got into it with people sometimes," McDonald said. "He wasn't a bad
guy. That's the Brian I remember."
(Note: Bryan Taylor was incarcerated twice in state correctional institutions for drug
possession and sexual assault.)

CBS6 Albany (08/01/2016)
http://cbs6albany.com/news/local/gov-cuomo-aims-to-keep-pokemon-go-out-of-thehands-of-sex-offenders
ALBANY - Governor Cuomo is targeting registered sex offenders on parole, keeping
them off a recently popular app.
Governor Cuomo has directed the New York State Department of Corrections and
Community Supervision to add PokemonGo and similar apps out of the hands of
registered sex offenders.
“Protecting New York’s children is priority number one and, as technology evolves, we
must ensure these advances don't become new avenues for dangerous predators to
prey on new victims," Governor Cuomo said. "These actions will provide safeguards for
the players of these augmented reality games and help take one more tool away from
those seeking to do harm to our children."
Under direction from the governor, New York State Department of Corrections and
Community Supervision set a new condition for sex offenders under community
supervision prohibiting them from using Pokemon Go and other apps that target
children.
Governor Cuomo has also written a letter to the software developer, Niantic, Inc. for
assistance in preventing sex offenders from playing PokemonGO.
This action follows Senators Jeffrey D. Klein and Diane Savino recent reports,
demonstrating that children playing this popular augmented reality game have
unknowingly find themselves in proximity to, or even at, sex offender residences.

Breaking free from cycle of crime
By RaeLynne Ricarte
Wasco County Sheriff Lane Magill’s “community policing” policy is being incorporated
into regional jail policies intended to lower the rate of recidivism and help people build
meaningful lives.
Magill and Bryan Brandenburg, jail administrator, have a team of professionals lined up
to help an inmate kick an addiction and get treatment for mental illness while serving
time.
They are also focused on helping a soon-to-be-released inmate locate housing, find
transportation, and get a job — all part of an effort to build self-esteem and stop the high
turnover rate.
“We need to meet the needs of offenders and citizens alike,” said Magill. “We can do
that by spending more time with them and creating solutions.”
Behind the new push for greater involvement with inmates is the fact that the Northern
Oregon Regional Correctional Facilities in The Dalles, which serves four counties, has
more repeat offenders than other areas of the state.
The daily average population in 2014, the last year that full numbers are available, was
120 people on the adult side. There were over 300 admissions and discharges per
month, with the average length of stay at 13 days, and a recidivism rate of over 60
percent.
Brandenburg said many returning inmates — between 80 and 90 percent —have a
substance abuse disorder or diagnosable mental illness.
“We have become a de-facto psychiatric unit,” he said.
Changes in mental health laws, which make it more difficult to commit people, and
fewer facilities to house them, have created a crisis situation across the U.S., said
Brandenburg.
The Vera Institute of Justice reports that the number of annual admissions to the
nation’s jails has nearly doubled in a little more than a decade, from six million in 1998
to 11.7 million in 2013.
The institute found that 72 percent of people in jail with a serious mental illness also
have a substance use disorder.
Costs associated with the increased population have skyrocketed nearly 235 percent.
Of the more than $60 billion spent annually on correctional institutions, $22.2 billion is
spent by local jurisdictions, according to the institute.
It wreaks havoc on NORCOR’s budget, said Magill and Brandenburg, when two-thirds
of the 3,360 total admissions last year were released within six days.
“It certainly increases staff work load when we have that kind of turnover.” said
Brandenburg.
NORCOR’s operating expenditures are about $6.5 million per year, Brandenburg said,
so keeping a balanced budget requires streamlining costs wherever possible. There is
close to $1 million in reserve funds, which he said is not enough to weather years of
added expenses.
The jail that serves Wasco, Hood River, Sherman and Gilliam counties, and provides
beds for federal detainees and other contract entities, has 58 corrections deputies and
support staff in the adult and juvenile facilities.
In addition to the adult population, there are 19 to 30 juveniles housed at NORCOR
each day.
The counties’ share of the budget is split, with Wasco paying 50 percent, Hood River 40
percent, Sherman 5 percent and Gilliam 5 percent.
“We’re going to keep that standard for the next two years and then we’ll re-examine,”
said Brandenburg.
He brings to the challenges facing the local jail a master’s degree in clinical psychology
from Eastern Washington University and 27 years of working in corrections.
His resume includes overseeing all operational aspects of 12 in-state jails in Alaska,
which had 1,400 employees, and a budget in excess of $220 million. His experience
also includes managing a men’s psychiatric unit at a prison in Alaska.
Brandenburg has introduced several programs from Alaska that focus on anger
management, substance abuse, changing criminal thinking, and preparing inmates for
re-entry into society by providing them with educational, vocational and parenting
programs.
“I am a strong advocate for these programs,” he said.
Brandenburg has obtained permission from the NORCOR board to partner with MidColumbia Center for Living, Goodwill and other agencies and organizations to provide
inmates with needed services.
“We are asking why they come to jail and how we can divert them from being
incarcerated,” he said.
As a result, Brandenburg said the number of mentally ill housed on an average day has
been cut in half, from 40 to 20.
“That’s pretty significant,” he said.
Incoming inmates are now assessed for risks, such as the potential for violent
encounters with others inside the facility and how likely they are to re-offend when they
leave.
If they have alcohol or drug problems, they are given resources to help them overcome
addiction.
The jail has also utilized state funding to add a full-time mental health clinician and a
certified substance abuse counselor to the employee roster.
A program coordinator position is being paid out of the jail’s general fund.
Some inmates arrive with chronic health problems caused by hard living and they are
provided with medical treatment to get these conditions under control, said
Brandenburg,
People with criminal attitudes, those with a predatory outlook on life, and/or anger
management issues, are offered counseling and given instruction about how to change
their thinking so they can change their life patterns.
Along the way, they can take advantage of parenting classes that can help them
overcome generational crime.
“Our job is to give a hand up to people and help them to learn skills and behavior to
make better choices,” said Brandenburg.
When it is time for an inmate to get out of jail after a stint that usually doesn’t top a year,
although there are exemptions, the focus turns to finding them housing and helping
them get ready for a job search.
Magill said Goodwill executives then step in to help offenders prepare resumes and
learn interview skills.
People are also matched with professionals to help them find housing, child care and
sign up for food stamps and other programs that can help them get on their feet.
“We really look at the whole package,” said Brandenburg. “If you get sober, find a place
to stay and a job, the odds are good that you’re not coming back.”
It appears the programs are working, he said, although it has only been seven months
since they’ve been fully implemented, so it is too soon to adequately measure success.
To date, he said 67 people have gone through the programs, and only 10 have returned
to jail.
He said a control group of 90 people will be tracked for three years to see how well the
programs work over a longer period of time.
“Everything’s trending in the right direction,” he said. “Hope is really all someone needs
to turn things around.”
Because of the partnerships that have formed, he said the jail has incurred some added
training costs for staff, but these expenses are balancing out with fewer short-term
inmates.
“We are reducing victimization in these counties by making people contributing
members of society,” he said.
According to Brandenburg, with the cost of jail operations going up each year, it isn’t
sustainable to have the inmate population across the nation keep growing.
To address the situation at the local level, Wasco County has signed on to a “Call for
Action,” a program being spearheaded by Hood River County Commissioner Karen
Joplin.
She is working closely with John Olson, presiding judge for the Seventh Judicial District,
to bring law enforcement, prosecutors, defense attorneys and parole/probation deputies
together to discuss ways to increase efficiencies in the Mid-Columbia criminal justice
system.
Joplin is seeking grant funds to provide technical support for the process, which could
begin as early as fall. She is hoping the counties can find ways to reduce incarceration
costs while still protecting the rights of defendants and victims and providing for public
safety.
Meanwhile, Magill is working to keep former inmates and prisoners on the straight and
narrow by lowering the caseload ratio of probation/parole deputies.
State funding has allowed the addition of a deputy — there are now five – and that has
reduced the overall caseload to 50-60 clients for every deputy.
Previously, the caseload was up to 110 clients for every deputy, almost four times
higher than some other counties, said Magill.
“We couldn’t really give those offenders the time they needed,” he said.
Putting more of a focus on building a working relationship between the deputy and his
or her client recently paid off, he said.
“The other day, an offender started to go off the rails and would have gone to jail if he
didn’t show up in court.
His probation deputy worked closely with him and helped him through the process, so
we got a positive outcome,” said Magill. “I think you get a lot more cooperation if people
feel that someone cares about them.”
He said caring is really the basis of the community policing model.
“If we put effort into this, we’re going to get success,” Magill said. “Yes, these offenders
have to follow the rules and our first responsibility is to protect the public. But we need
to get to the root of the problem that is causing criminal behavior so that problem can be
fixed.”
One of the ways the probation department is opening up lines of communication with
probation and parole clients is by utilizing the services of “Ellie,” a service dog.
“She visits the office two days a week.’’ said Magill, “and you would be surprised to see
how well people respond to her.”
Although he didn’t buy into the idea at first, staffers convinced Magill to give it a try and
he allowed the small Shih Tzu-mix into the office on a trial basis.
Magill was sold on the idea after a repeat offender with a long-history of uncooperative
behavior came in for a visit with her probation deputy.
She was being obstinate and refusing to talk about what was going on in her life, when
Ellie came bounding over to her. The dog jumped up on the woman’s chair and she
began to scratch his ears.
The next thing the probation deputy knew, the woman was crying and sharing that she
had been sexually abused years earlier, which she believed created a sense of shame
that became the basis for her criminal behavior.
“So, we set about helping her get some things worked out,” Magill said.
He and Brandenburg agree that spending time to help an offender with long-term
stabilization of his or her life pays off by creating more stable communities. And that,
they say, is the best way to preserve public safety.

The Devastating Consequences of Losing Your Parents to Mass Incarceration
By Rebecca Nathanson
Over five million children in the United States have had a parent in jail—and they're
often traumatized and overlooked by the system.
Raymond Rodriguez doesn't remember why his dad was arrested. He doesn't even
remember exactly how old he was when police officers entered the home he shared
with his parents and two siblings in the Bronx, threw his dad on the floor, and took him
away.
Now a 20-year-old criminal justice student at a local community college, he thinks he
was about eight years old when that scene took place, but the memories blur together.
Following that arrest, Rodriguez's dad remained incarcerated for the majority of his
childhood, in and out of prison numerous times.
Rodriguez lived with a foster family for a while when he was younger, but then his mom
regained custody of him and his two siblings. Whenever his father got out, he'd find
where the family was living and move back in, until the cycle began again. The impact it
had on the family was far-reaching and comprehensive, and it continues today. His dad
was just released from prison, an experience Rodriguez can only describe as "really
weird."
No longer a child himself, Rodriguez now works with children of incarcerated parents in
New York City through the Osborne Association, which runs programs for those children
as part of its prison reform efforts. Though there's a paucity in programs like those the
Osborne Association runs, there's no shortage of need: Over five million children in the
United States—about seven percent of all children in the country—have had an
incarcerated parent at some point in their lives.
Families of the incarcerated often don't know about or have access to such programs,
leaving children to face their new circumstances without any friends who share their
experience or advocates who know their rights. Meanwhile, law enforcement and
schools can easily exacerbate the problem. Oftentimes, this is due to ignorance of the
issue and how to tackle it. But sometimes, the only explanation is neglect.
As the prison population soars, so too does the number of children orphaned by mass
incarceration. According to a new report titled "A Shared Sentence: The Devastating
Toll of Parental Incarceration on Kids, Families, and Communities," the number of kids
with a father in prison or jail rose by 500 percent from 1980 to 2000. Many of them go
on to live with relatives, often grandparents; others end up in the foster care system.
It goes without saying that this population of children impacted by parental incarceration
looks much like the population behind bars: mostly low-income people of color,
particularly African Americans. Black children are over seven times more likely to have
an incarcerated parent than their white peers. Latino children are over two times more
likely. The majority are under ten years old.
Opportunities to traumatize a child with an incarcerated parent present themselves from
the moment of arrest. Like Raymond Rodriguez watching his father thrown to the floor,
many children are impacted by police officers who either don't take a child's presence
into consideration or don't know how to make the situation as child-friendly as possible.
And the children who aren't home to watch their parents led away in handcuffs are often
overlooked entirely by the criminal justice system—an equally distressing prospect.
Alisha Murdock was at school the first time her mother was arrested. She found out
what had happened from neighbors when they showed up to take her home. "When I
got home, it basically was like my house had been raided," she recalls. Today, she is 24
years old and works for Project WHAT!, a program of the San Francisco-based
Community Works West that is led by children of incarcerated parents.
At the time of her mother's arrest, Murdock was 11. Her mom had been raising her
alone. According to her, law enforcement never came back to check if there was a child
in the house. Nobody ever contacted social services. She recalls their home having two
bedrooms—one strewn with Barbie dolls—and wonders how no one thought to find the
child who so clearly lived there after taking her mother away.
"That first time [my mom was arrested], it was very much like it was up to me to figure
stuff out," she says. Left alone, she kept her situation secret, even from the friends who
helped shelter her. "It wasn't something that I was like, 'Oh, my mom was incarcerated.
Can I stay here?' It was just kind of like, 'Hey, can I spend the night with a friend?'"
Many children with incarcerated parents conceal their situation from their friends, peers,
and authorities at school. According to Tanya Krupat, program director at the Osborne
Association, this is due to stigma and the fear that teachers and classmates will unfairly
judge the student in question once they find out about their situation.
"I understand why families may not let the teacher know that their child has an
incarcerated parent," she says. "The child is likely not to receive support. Or, if
something goes missing in the classroom, suspicion will fall on the child whose parent is
incarcerated. We have lots of examples of that happening, unfortunately."
But, she notes, some teachers and school staff respond supportively upon learning that
a child has an incarcerated parent. In those cases, the benefits can be vast, with
schools and advocacy organizations working together to best meet a student's particular
needs. Andrea Hope Hunter, a 16-year-old from Bloomfield, New Jersey, and a
participant in Osborne's programs, thinks that her teachers and guidance counselor
have been a great help to her since finding out that her mom is incarcerated.
However, she knows that she is in the minority and that a lot of children in similar
situations dread spreading that information. "It's pretty rare that people in school would
know about it. That's something that you want to keep to yourself because you're afraid
that someone could use that against you one day," she says.
When I got home, it basically was like my house had been raided.
Training teachers to support their students with incarcerated parents—without always
knowing who those students are—can be a challenge. After all, no one is obligated to
inform schools of a parent's arrest, and many students don't want them to know
anything about it. With such a strong stigma, the idea of requiring law enforcement or
social services to inform schools is off the table, its potential effects too traumatizing for
students. But given the statistics, it is, unfortunately, not unreasonable for any eacher in
an urban school district to assume that she's interacting with children impacted by
incarceration.
"Kids in school feel so isolated and so unsupported. There are so many things going on
in their lives and teachers are not taking that into consideration when a child's parent is
incarcerated," argues Ruth Morgan, the founder and executive director of Community
Works West.
Experts argue that providing help to these children is crucial because the trauma they
experience after being separated—often in dramatic fashion—from a parent can
increase their mental health issues, especially depression and anxiety, and lead to a
decrease in academic performance.
According to the 2015 report "Parents Behind Bars: What Happens to Their Children?,"
students with an incarcerated parent are more likely to have problems at school than
their peers, while children with incarcerated mothers, in particular, face a higher risk of
dropping out of school. And, according to "A Shared Sentence," teachers tend to lower
their expectations once discovering that a child has a parent in prison or jail.
Murdock says she ran into an old teacher about a year ago and mentioned her mother's
incarceration. "I remember him being like, 'Oh, I didn't know that. I just felt like you were
distracted,'" she recalls. "And so I think that, in terms of schools, it starts with teachers
noticing when something changes and then asking the question, like, 'Hey, is everything
ok?'"
Recognizing the fact that children of incarcerated parents are often ignored by law
enforcement and faced with teachers and foster care workers ignorant to their situations
or untrained in how to best handle them, the San Francisco Children of Incarcerated
Parents Partnership (SFCIPP) developed a Bill of Rights for Children of Incarcerated
Parents to outline eight basic rights to which every child is entitled. These include the
right to be kept safe and informed at the time of the parent's arrest; the right to speak
with, see, and touch the parent; and the right to be well cared for in the parent's
absence.
Over a decade after its creation, the Bill of Rights remains a guide for the people and
organizations working with and for this population, referenced in almost every
conversation I had and even taped to an office wall at the Osborne Association.
But turning those basic rights into realities still proves challenging, as does avoiding
indirectly punishing a child for her parent's actions. For instance, many children with
incarcerated parents end up having to travel hundreds of miles for in-person contact:
The Bureau of Prisons considers people to be proximate if they're housed up to 500
miles away from their place of residence. Proximity of incarcerated parents to their
children is a major policy priority for advocates and a common complaint cited by the
children themselves.
In addition, it's extremely challenging to measure how many police departments have
actually created and enforced effective methods for keeping children safe and informed.
In 2014, the International Association of Chiefs of Police released a report outlining
protocol for safeguarding children at the time of arrest. How many police departments
have adopted these protocols remains unknown. Ann Adalist-Estrin, director of the
National Resource Center on Children and Families of the Incarcerated at Rutgers
University, has seen some police departments in large cities using the document but
knows that many smaller departments haven't even heard of it.
Crystallee Crain, SFCIPP's director and herself the child of a father incarcerated for
murder when she was 16, says that the Bill of Rights is meant to "frame how institutions
and organizations can be looking at this group of kids as a special population—not one
that has a deficit but that needs different kinds of responses that don't provide additional
traumatic exposure."
The focus on identifying and meeting the specific needs of this innocent but oft-ignored
population remains imperative, but it's also important to recognize that these are young
people who just want to be treated like their peers. When asked about advice for people
interacting with children of incarcerated parents, Raymond Rodriguez bypassed the
question entirely, offering this instead: "They're just a kid, just like you. Everyone bleeds
the same blood."

Trans Woman Said She Robbed Bank Because Prison Is Safer Than Street Life
By Kelly Weil
For transgender woman Linda Thompson, life in prison is preferable to life on the
streets.
On July 27, Thompson entered a Cheyenne, Wyoming, bank with a handwritten note: “I
have a gun. Give me all your money.” The teller gave her thousands of dollars. But
instead of making a getaway, Thompson stopped a few steps outside the bank,
throwing the cash in the air and handing it to strangers while she waited for police to
arrive.
“I just robbed the bank, I want to go back to prison,” Thompson told police, according to
court records obtained by the Associated Press. Thompson told cops that she had been
homeless, unable to find room at a shelter, and beaten by four men in a park.
Thompson had recently been released from Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in
Wilsonville, Oregon, where she was serving a second-degree robbery sentence
Coffee Creek Correctional is by no means an easy place to live (it’s been sued for
sexual abuse), but it is an all-women’s facility, something Thompson had fought
decades to access as a trans woman.
From age 3, Thompson said she knew she was transgender. In an interview on Cruel
and Unusual, a 2006 documentary on trans women in male prisons, she recalls praying
to look like other girls.
“Dear God, when I wake up, that thing will not be there,” she said. “I will look like Susie
from across the street.”
When she came out as a woman in 1991, she was fired from her job at a Wyoming oil
rig.
“Every time I went to try to get a job for something I knew how to do, I’d have to show ID
and they’d say, ‘Oh, Linda Patricia Thompson, but you’re a guy,” she remembered in
the documentary. “We can’t have that here.’”
Out of work and money, Thompson was arrested in 1997 for stealing scrap metal and
was sent to the men’s ward of an Idaho prison. While she identified as a woman, her
appeals to be transferred went unanswered.
“The warden in the Idaho state penitentiary said something like ‘transgenderism is not a
disorder, and it won’t be as long as I run this prison,’” Bruce Bistline, a lawyer who
represented Thompson told The Daily Beast. “That set up a battle of the wills.”
The penitentiary said gender was determined by genitalia, but they wouldn’t provide
access to gender reassignment surgery, or the hormone treatments Thompson had
been taking before her incarceration. So Thompson performed the surgery herself,
cutting off her testicles with a razor blade and demanding medical treatment. The
warden still refused, so Thompson cut off her penis, a dangerous operation that nearly
killed her. But the surgery was an act of catharsis, she said in Cruel and Unusual.
When I cut the thing off it was like 100,000 tons of hate and animosity towards myself
was all of a sudden just lifted off my shoulders,” she recalls in the documentary. “Man, I
could fly. I was light. I was happy. For the first time in my life, I loved myself.”
After returning from a brief hospitalization, Thompson sued the state in 2000. She
enlisted Bistline and another lawyer, who won her an out-of-court settlement with the
state and got her temporarily transferred to facility in California, where she was given
estrogen treatments.
Even this reprieve meant consequences for Thompson. She was later transferred back
to the Idaho men’s ward, where Bistline says she was reportedly punished for taking her
shirt off. The warden wouldn’t recognize her as female and punished her for acting like
a man.
Once outside prison, Thompson faced the same troubles as before: no jobs, no shelter,
no resources. Homeless shelters and mission groups turned their backs on her.
“I’m not allowed at a shelter. I’m not allowed at a rescue mission. This is wrong,” she
said in Cruel and Unusual.
This is an unfortunately common situation for transgender people facing homelessness
in rural areas.
“There aren’t a lot of homeless facilities elsewhere and many might be religiously
based, so they might discriminate,” Andrea Zekas, policy director for LGBTQ advocacy
group Basic Rights Oregon told The Daily Beast. “When trans people leave
incarceration no matter where, they are often left without knowing where to go. There
often not a lot of resources.”
Thompson unsuccessfully sought work in four states before ending up behind bars
again, this time for stealing copper wire from a construction site, her other lawyer, Lea
Cooper, told Into the Fray.
“She told the judge she did it [got arrested] on purpose, because she didn’t have any
more options,” Cooper said.
On a subsequent arrest in 2010, Thompson landed at Oregon’s Coffee Creek
Correctional Facility, finally a women’s prison. When her sentenced neared its end in
June this year, Thompson reportedly said that she did not want to be released and that
she would not do well on parole.
Thompson told police last week she couldn’t find space at a homeless shelter and was
beaten by four strangers while sleeping in the park.
By Wednesday, Thompson had had enough. Armed with her handwritten note and the
threat of a gun, she walked into the Cheyenne, Wyoming, bank branch and demanded
everything they had. Then she sat outside and waited for a squad car to take her
someplace safer.

After attacks on corrections officers, PBA pushes compensation bill
By Toniann Antonell
In the wake of another inmate attack on a New Jersey state corrections officer, the
union representing prison and parole officers is renewing its push to pass a bill
establishing a compensation program for workers who are injured while performing
official duties.
The bill, S-596/A-3422, was originally sponsored by Assemblyman Dan Benson (DMercer/Middlesex) earlier this year and calls for the injured officer to get a full salary
until worker’s compensation payments begin – a process that often takes several
weeks. The bill also stipulates the officer would be entitled to supplemental payments
that, when combined with worker’s comp, would equal the regular salary.
This latest push to advance the proposed legislation comes from PBA Local 105, which
represents corrections officers in New Jersey. It comes on the heels of an inmate attack
on an officer at South Woods State Prison, a medium security facility in Bridgeton,
according to Brian Renshaw, president of PBA Local 105. In a statement Wednesday,
Renshaw said the incident took place Tuesday around 8 p.m. and involved a male
corrections officer.
According to the PBA president, an inmate was being escorted from his cell to a
recreation room when the alleged attack took place.
“Statements from witnesses along with review of the video surveillance shows that the
inmate began closed-fist punching SCO Victor Tapia. Responding officers were able to
take down and cuff the inmate within minutes of the attack,” Renshaw said.
The warden of South Woods State Prison could not immediately be reached for
comment on the incident.
Renshaw said Tapia received immediate treatment by the facility’s medical staff and
was then taken to Inspira Hospital for his injuries.
“PBA Local 105 Executive Board members Michael Gallagher and Todd McConnell,
along with many additional officers and personnel, stayed at Inspira Hospital overnight
to comfort SCO Tapia during a very difficult time,” Renshaw said in his statement.
Earlier this year, another violent inmate attack on a corrections officer took place. In
February, Andrea Berry, a corrections officer at Southern State Prison, was trying to
help her partner who was struggling with an inmate, when she was attacked and
punched multiple times until being knocked unconscious. A month after the attack,
Berry told NJ 101.5 that she was still waiting for worker’s compensation to kick in and
she was not receiving a salary or benefits to help care for her children.
“These attacks are occurring too often,” Renshaw said. “We need to give our officers all
the tools and resources necessary to protect themselves and the inmates they guard.
There are many contributing factors for attacks like these, notably inadequate staff
levels and overall decreased funding for our statewide corrections system. Attacks like
the one we saw yesterday on SCO Tapia and the overall dangers faced by correction
officers show the urgent need for S-596/A-3422.”
Renshaw said the legislation was written for corrections and parole officers in New
Jersey “to ensure they will not be asked to receive anything less than full pay for injuries
suffered at the hands of inmates inside New Jersey’s prisons.” Under the proposed bill,
injured officers would receive full wages until compensation for the injury kicks in.
Without this legislation, injured corrections officers are only eligible to receive 70
percent of their salary, as well as out-of-pocket payments for health care coverage,
according to Renshaw. Other members of law enforcement typically receive 100
percent, the PBA president said.
“Officers should not have to worry about their family’s well-being or how they will make
their next mortgage payment if there is an inmate attack. Our officers face potential
violence everyday just by going to work and we have an obligation to make sure they
are receiving the appropriate benefits when a tragedy like this occurs again,” Renshaw
added.
In February, the bill’s sponsor told NJ 101.5 that the bill is extremely important now,
when prisons are being consolidated and reforms are being implemented because
many prisoners are more violent and dangerous than they used to be.
“This is not a situation where you have a workplace accident that may occur, this is not
an accident, these are crimes being committed against these employees and we want
to make sure the state is there to stand behind them when they’re injured,” Benson said.
PBA Local 105 represents nearly 6,000 active state corrections, juvenile justice and
parole officers in New Jersey

Mentions Governor Wolf
The New York Times (07/27/2016)
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/28/us/naloxone-eases-pain-of-heroin-epidemic-butnot-without-consequences.html?ref=todayspaper&_r=0
By Katherine Q. Seelye
PORTLAND, Me. — A woman in her 30s was sitting in a car in a parking lot here last
month, shooting up heroin, when she overdosed. Even after the men she was with
injected her with naloxone, the drug that reverses opioid overdoses, she remained
unconscious. They called 911.
Firefighters arrived and administered oxygen to improve her breathing, but her skin had
grown gray and her lips had turned blue. As she lay on the asphalt, the paramedics
slipped a needle into her arm and injected another dose of naloxone.
In a moment, her eyes popped open. Her pupils were pinpricks. She was woozy and
disoriented, but eventually got her bearings as paramedics put her on a stretcher and
whisked her to a hospital.
Every day across the country, hundreds, if not thousands, of people who overdose on
opioids are being revived with naloxone. Hailed as a miracle drug by many, it carries no
health risk; it cannot be abused and, if given mistakenly to someone who has not
overdosed on opioids, does no harm. More likely, it saves a life.
As a virulent opioid epidemic continues to ravage the country, with 78 people in the
United States dying of overdoses every day, naloxone’s use has increasingly moved out
of medical settings, where it has been available since the 1970s, and into the homes
and hands of the general public.
But naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan, has also had unintended
consequences. Critics say that it gives drug users a safety net, allowing them to take
more risks as they seek higher highs. Indeed, many users overdose more than once,
some multiple times, and each time, naloxone brings them back.
Advocates argue that the drug gives people a chance to get into treatment and turn their
lives around and that there is no evidence naloxone increases the use of opiates. And,
they say, few addicts knowingly risk needing to be revived, since naloxone ruins their
high and can make them violently ill.
With drug overdoses now killing more people than car crashes in most states,
lawmakers in all but three — Kansas, Montana and Wyoming — have passed laws
making naloxone easier to obtain. Its near-universal availability reflects the relatively
humane response to the opioid epidemic, which is based largely in the nation’s white,
middle-class suburbs and rural areas — a markedly different response from that of
previous, urban-based drug epidemics, which prompted a “war on drugs” that led to
mass incarceration, particularly of blacks and Hispanics.
This more compassionate response has been on display this week at the Democratic
National Convention in Philadelphia. Speakers there have talked about addiction and
the need for more accessible treatment, and a call by Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New
Hampshire for all emergency responders to carry naloxone drew applause from the
delegates.
Nonprofit organizations began distributing naloxone to drug users in the mid-1990s, but
most of the state laws making it more accessible have been enacted only in the last few
years. Between this and so-called good Samaritan laws that provide immunity to people
who call 911 to report an overdose, the chances are much greater now that someone
who overdoses will be saved and given medical attention instead of left for dead or sent
to jail.
The federal government still requires a prescription for naloxone, but that is under
review by the Food and Drug Administration, which has also approved a Narcan nasal
spray that is easier to administer and is growing increasingly popular.
There is no question that the nation’s death toll from heroin and prescription opioids
would be significantly higher without naloxone. Prince, the pop superstar, is just one of
those who were saved by it. After he overdosed on Percocet, an opiate painkiller, on his
airplane in April, the plane made an emergency landing, and he was revived on the
tarmac with naloxone — only to overdose on fentanyl six days later and die when no
one was around to administer naloxone.
In 2014, in Maine alone, 208 people died from overdoses. That year, emergency
responders saved 829 lives with naloxone. But that was just a fraction of those saved
here, as most uses go unreported. In 83 percent of cases, according to a national
survey last year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, naloxone is given
by other drug users, the people most likely to be on the scene, not by emergency
responders.

naloxone. Credit Tristan Spinski for The New York Times
But in Maine this spring, Gov. Paul LePage, a Republican, questioned the effectiveness
of naloxone and vetoed legislation that would have increased access to it.
“Naloxone does not truly save lives; it merely extends them until the next overdose,” Mr.
LePage wrote in his veto message in April. “Creating a situation where an addict has a
heroin needle in one hand and a shot of naloxone in the other produces a sense of
normalcy and security around heroin use that serves only to perpetuate the cycle of
addiction.”
Yet most users loathe naloxone’s effects. By blocking opiate receptors, it plunges them
into withdrawal and makes them “dope sick,” craving more heroin or pills.
“I hate it,” said Melissa Tucci, 44, a heroin user here who has been revived seven times.
“When I start withdrawing, I vomit, you get diarrhea, you sweat profusely, your nose will
run, you sneeze and have runny eyes, and you ache so bad you can’t even walk.”
She said she has overdosed so often not because she relied on naloxone to save her,
but rather because she underestimated how potent the heroin was. And she said she
keeps using heroin to avoid the agony of withdrawal.
The Maine Legislature easily overrode the governor’s veto. According to the Network for
Public Health Law, Maine is now one of 34 states with what is called a standing order,
essentially a prescription that makes naloxone available to the general public.
Still, Mr. LePage gave voice to the troubling reality that some people repeatedly
overdose, and can seem stubbornly resistant to help.
“They’re usually very angry when we bring them around,” said Deputy Chief John
Everett of the Portland Fire Department. “One kid yelled at me, ‘You think this will make
me stop doing drugs?’ I said, ‘No, the only thing that will make you stop doing drugs is a
body bag.’”
On the other hand, Sarah Connolly, 26, said she was alive because of naloxone. Seven
years ago she was revived after overdosing in the bathroom of a Burger King in
Michigan. “Most of my veins were so deteriorated from using that they had to give it to
me in my hand,” she said recently at a training session here on how to administer
naloxone. She said that after overdosing, she left an emergency room against medical
advice and went out to find more heroin.
She continued to use heroin, but stopped cold when she became pregnant. Now she is
unrecognizable from her days of addiction. She moved to Maine, married her son’s
father, is pregnant with their second child, and is studying to be a high school English
teacher.
“I have a real sense of purpose now,” she said. “I believe I’m a miracle because I had a
second chance.”
Gov. Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania, a Democrat, said in a recent interview that the only
responsible approach to the epidemic ravaging his state was to make naloxone widely
available and provide more treatment. Pennsylvania is one of the states with a standing
order for naloxone.
“This is a disease, not a moral failing,” Mr. Wolf said.
Dr. Alexander Y. Walley, an addiction medicine specialist at Boston Medical Center,
said arguing that naloxone encourages riskier drug use was like saying that seatbelts
encourage riskier driving.
“A person with an opioid use disorder is by definition using despite harmful
consequences,” Dr. Walley said. That aside, he said, “receiving naloxone not only
reverses the overdose, it also reverses the euphoria and withdrawal relief that the opioid
user is seeking. Thus, it is only used as a last resort.”
Dr. Mark Publicker, an addiction medicine specialist in Portland, said that repeated
overdoses were often the result of increasingly potent heroin, especially when combined
with drugs like fentanyl and sedatives, producing a lethal cocktail.
“While your psychological tolerance becomes greater, your cardiorespiratory tolerance
doesn’t,” he said. “You keep pushing the limit because your reward threshold has
become impossibly high.”
Naloxone can start to wear off 20 to 30 minutes after it is administered and dissipate
entirely after 90 minutes. The withdrawal from the opiate can be so brutal that it often
drives people to use heroin again right away.
“I had a woman who overdosed three times in one day,” said Zoe Odlin-Platz, a
community health promotion specialist at the India Street needle exchange here. After
the third overdose, she said, the woman broached the possibility of seeking treatment.
The bigger problem, advocates say, is the dearth of available treatment, particularly for
people without insurance. Nevertheless, Portland paramedics make every effort to take
revived drug users to a hospital, and hope that in those moments after being revived,
they might decide to seek help.
“People are vulnerable at that point, and I ask them if they want to talk,” said Oliver
Bradeen, a substance use disorder liaison for the Portland Police Department, who
responds to most emergency overdose calls. And, he said, “sometimes the universe
comes together and it works out.”
But sometimes it doesn’t.
Bruce Carleton, a veteran paramedic with the Portland Fire Department, was among
those who responded last month when the woman in the parking lot overdosed. He
talked her into going to the hospital, but when he went by her room later on, her bed
was empty.

PA overtime costs reach $250M
BY ROBERT SWIFT
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania state workers took home a two-decade record-high
$250 million in overtime pay in 2015, nearly a 10 percent increase from 2014, a Sunday
Times analysis of state payroll records found. The Sunday Times is a Times-Shamrock
newspaper.
This $24 million increase in overtime costs continues a trend dating back at least five
years as the number of state workers dropped because of hiring freezes and unfilled
vacancies, creating more logged overtime. The entire state budget was $30 billion for
fiscal 2015-16.
Also causing overtime were:
■ Correctional officers providing round-the-clock supervision of inmates at state prisons.
■ Doctors providing 24 hour-a-day patient care and medical services at state hospitals.
■ State police providing security for Pope Francis’ visit to Philadelphia and responding
to emergencies.
The state Department of Corrections, Department of Human Services and state police
rank high with overtime costs because of their involvement with public health and
safety.
Overall, 18 state departments had increased overtime costs last year compared to 2014
while 15 agencies reduced their overtime costs, Daniel Egan, spokesman for the Office
of Administration, said.
Bob Dick, a policy analyst for the Commonwealth Foundation, a market-oriented think
tank, said state officials can do some things to offset the increasing overtime spending.
They can curb the steady increases in salaries and benefits for government employees
and pursue opportunities to privatize or contract out services, he said.
State prisons OT up
The corrections department had the biggest increase in overtime costs in 2015 — up
nearly $23 million to $100 million. Since 2010, the department’s overtime has more than
doubled since 2010 when it was $49 million.
The number of employees in the department, at 14,883 in Jul y 2015, decreased about
2.9 percent since 2010 when there were 15,329 workers. Meanwhile, the number of
state inmates dropped about 2.7 percent since 2010, from 51,321 to 49,914 at the end
of 2015.
These two trends spurred the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee this past April
to study the costs of paying overtime compared to hiring new correctional officers.
“The study should give us a better understanding of why overtime costs continue to soar
while the inmate population declines,” Sen. David Argall, R-29, Tamaqua, said. Argall
said he is concerned about the physical and mental toll that overtime places on
correctional officers.
Several state agencies are currently analyzing overtime costs at each state correctional
institution to determine if hiring more corrections officers would be more cost effective
than paying overtime, Egan said.
State corrections officials point out that one of the main reasons for the overtime is that
the department is working to fill hundreds of correctional officer vacancies stemming in
part from a hiring freeze several years ago.
The vacancies peaked at 1,500 and have been pared down to 464 at the end of April,
corrections spokeswoman Susan McNaughton said.
“The ultimate goal is to keep overtime spending down, but the reality is our agency
experiences an average of 600 correctional officer separations/transfers/retirements per
year,” she said.
The on-the-job training for a new officer can continue for a year, which also contributes
to the need for overtime, McNaughton said.
New laws and policies also increased the workload for correctional officers. More
officers are needed to escort and observe inmates now that they are allowed more time
outside their cells, Egan said. The increased out-of-cell time results from a federal
Department of Justice investigation and a Disability Rights Network lawsuit regarding
mental health treatment for inmates.
A federal law aimed at eliminating cases of prison rape increased demand for officers of
the same sex to perform searches, pat downs and observation of inmates, Egan said.
OT rises at state hospitals
The state’s largest department, the Department of Human Services, reported $36.7
million in overtime costs last year, a $5.5 million increase. The department had 15,700
employees in 2015.
Most of the overtime spike is tied to doctors and nurses providing care for residents at
state hospitals and centers, DHS spokeswoman Kathaleen Gillis said.
“For DHS doctors, overtime pay stems from the doctors’ need to respond to calls within
20 minutes when they are on standby while on campus but off-duty,” Egan said.
Overtime costs at Torrance State Hospital in Westmoreland County, which had 193
residents at the end of 2014, caught the eye of the state auditor general.
Chronic staffing shortages at Torrance led to nearly 500,000 hours of overtime over
three years. The cost to taxpayers was more than $14 million, according to an audit
released last February by Auditor General Eugene DePasquale.
The audit which covered July 2011 through November 2015 found that on average 32
employees a year worked more than 800 hours of overtime.
“The excessive overtime used at Torrance is bound to lead to a tired, overworked staff,”
DePasquale said.
In response to the audit, DHS added 33 employees at Torrance while noting that other
factors also contributed to the overtime there. A portion of overall DHS overtime costs in
2015 is tied to implementation of a package of child protection laws, Gillis said.
Crime, papal visit spike cop OT
Pope Francis’ visit to Philadelphia last September contributed to state police overtime
because troopers helped provide security. For the papal visit, state police provided 800
troopers and other personnel to assist the city and U.S. Secret Service. The overtime
costs tied to the papal visit topped $700,000 and came out of the state police budget.
The department spent $27.4 million in overtime last year, which is down about $4.3
million from 2014.
However, about $7 million in 2014 overtime was because of the 48-day manhunt in
Monroe and Pike counties for accused cop killer Eric Matthew Frein. Frein, 33, of
Canadensis, is charged with first-degree murder and multiple other offenses for the
Sept. 12, 2014 sniper attack outside the state police barracks in Blooming Grove that
killed Cpl. Bryon K. Dickson II of Dunmore and wounded Trooper Alex T. Douglass of
Olyphant. He pleaded not guilty and remains incarcerated in Pike County Correctional
Facility; his trial is set for next March.
The vast majority of state police overtime is because of time spent on complex criminal
investigations, weather emergencies and requests from other agencies for assistance
with more advanced investigations, agency spokesman Cpl. Adam Reed said. In much
of Pennsylvania, state police are the main law enforcement agency.
A new state law passed in October will help curtail state police overtime in one area.
State police are no longer required to escort tractor-trailers carrying super-sized loads
on state highways. Under the new law authored by Argall, commercial certified pilot
escorts take over the job so troopers can be freed up for other duties. State police and
PennDOT still can decide jointly whether a state police escort is needed for some loads.
In that case, the permit holder would bear the total costs of the escort.
Argall also sponsored a bill to establish a five-year pilot program where PennDOT can
place speed cameras in active work zones on interstate highways. The speed cameras
would be installed and overseen by a private vendor.
The main goal of the legislation is to improve safety for motorists and workers in
construction zones, but it also will remove the need to pay troopers overtime to patrol
work zones, Argall said.

State inspection of Luzerne County prison looms in wake of elevator deaths
By Jennifer Learn-Andes
http://timesleader.com/news/569765/state-inspection-of-luzerne-county-prison-looms-inwake-of-elevator-deaths
WILKES-BARRE — Luzerne County’s prison must undergo a grueling inspection next
month, but it was already in the works before the recent deaths of an inmate and
correctional officer.
The state Department of Corrections is required by law to complete inspections to
determine if county prisons comply with a range of state regulations. The 2016
inspection initially was set to start this week but was rescheduled to late August
because county prison officials are focused on issues related the two deaths, said state
corrections department spokeswoman Susan McNaughton.
A criminal investigation concluded the fifth-floor elevator door at the prison on Water
Street in Wilkes-Barre immediately gave way at the base when inmate Timothy Darnell
Gilliam Jr., 27, pulled correctional officer Kristopher D. Moules, 25, backwards and hit
the door on July 18. The men fell 59 feet and 1 inch down an elevator shaft to their
death, said the investigation, which was completed by state police and the county
district attorney and coroner offices.
While stressing safety concerns at the aging prison will be addressed, County Manager
C. David Pedri has called for the revival of plans to build a new prison with a more
efficient and safer layout.
McNaughton said her department’s inspection oversight authority over county prisons is
limited to requirements in a state law known as “Title 37” that spells out mandates
involving both inmates and staff.
These inspections can occur every other year, instead of annually, if the state
concludes a county prison complies with all minimum requirements.
The state exercised this waiver for Luzerne County’s prison in 2015 based on its
positive inspection the previous year, McNaughton said.
The department does not have daily operational or investigative control over county
prisons because they are independently operated and funded by counties, she said.
The corrections department investigators typically interview s typically interview staff
and inmates, check medication counts, inventory and food preparation. They observe
workers and review reports to ensure safety and security procedures are enforced,
officials said.
Several county officials have called for a review of all prison protocols in light of the
recent deaths.
The inspectors also will observe and document visible building deterioration and
maintenance issues, such as cracks in walls and safety problems in an inmate shower,
but they don’t assess compliance with construction or engineering standards,
McNaughton said.
“It’s not like they’ll be in there pushing on doors to inspect them,” she said.
Other investigation
County officials say they reported the two deaths to the U.S. Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, commonly known as OSHA, but the workplace safety agency
said it cannot get involved.
“OSHA does not have jurisdiction in this case. The officer was a county employee, and
they are covered by the state of Pennsylvania,” said spokesperson Joanna Hawkins.
The state Department of Labor and Industry handles elevator and boiler inspections and
also has authority to investigate a prison’s compliance with the General Safety Law, or
“Title 34,” which spells out workplace health and safety requirements for public
employees.
This law requires establishments to be “constructed, equipped, arranged, operated and
conducted so as to provide reasonable and adequate protection for the life, limb, safety
and morals of all persons employed therein,” the department said.
State Labor and Industry spokesman David Eckelmann said Thursday his department is
conducting an investigation of the county prison but declined to elaborate.
“It might or might not include the General Safety Law, but we don’t comment on ongoing
investigations,” he said.
Pedri confirmed the department has revisited the prison to examine the elevator, which
was installed in 1994, but said he was not aware of any other labor department
investigation. The department has deemed the elevator inoperable until repairs are
completed, and the county is developing a scope of work, he said.
The elevator had a valid inspection certificate at the time of the deaths. The state
Department of Labor and Industry conducted an inspection of the elevator in April and
found only a minor “housekeeping” deficiency that was corrected by staff, Pedri has
said.
The state Department of Labor and Industry also conducts Uniform Construction Code
(UCC) inspections when prisons are constructed or remodeled, and issues occupancy
certificates, Eckelmann said. The Water Street facility was built in 1887 and renovated
in 1987 to add the five-story tower where the two deaths occurred.
Mark Rockovich, the county’s new correctional services division head, said he
welcomes the upcoming state corrections department inspection.
“They look at the entire operation,” he said. “I think the inspection helps us realize when
a change or improvement is needed.
“I don’t look at the inspection as a negative or bad thing.”
A copy of the last inspection report was not immediately available. A public information
request seeking the prison’s last inspection is still pending. McNaughton said the state
won’t release inspection reports unless a county refuses to do so. She said the reports
are examined before their public release, in order to redact sensitive information.

First juvenile lifers in Pennsylvania are granted parole
By Samantha Melamed
After 43 years in prison for a West Chester purse-snatching that became a murder
when the victim fell and died from the injuries, Earl Rice Jr., 60, finally had the chance to
go before the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole.
The board's decision last week: 43 years was long enough for a crime committed when
Rice was just 17.
Rice and three other men, including two from Philadelphia, were approved for parole,
making them the first in Pennsylvania convicted of first- or second-degree murder ever
to be granted parole. All were juvenile lifers given new sentences as a consequence of
Montgomery v. Louisiana, the U.S. Supreme Court decision this January that made
retroactive the court's ban on automatic life-without-parole sentences for juveniles.
Brad Bridge, who has worked on juvenile lifer cases for the Defender Association of
Philadelphia, said the decisions will likely affect how hundreds of other cases across the
state proceed. In Philadelphia, District Attorney Seth Williams intends for parole to be
the primary gateway for release for the city's 280 juvenile lifers. Until now, many
inmates and advocates have been hesitant to accept new sentences that hinge on
parole, because of uncertainty about how the parole board would handle the cases.
With these decisions, Bridge said, "the parole board recognized that after multiple
decades, children that went into prison grew up, matured, and are r eady to become
contributing members of society. This is exactly the paradigm shift the United States
Supreme Court envisioned."
Rice's lawyer, Norris Gelman, said Rice's family is "absolutely overjoyed." Rice has
been working at Graterford prison, but outside the walls, tending to the hospice unit.
"He's very good with terminal patients," Gelman said.
Like other juvenile lifers, he expects to spend time in a Community Corrections Center,
a halfway house. After that, Rice intends to live with his father, Earl Sr., and his fiancee,
Doreen St. John, in Delaware.
"His father's elderly, very old, maybe 90," Gelman said.
Chris Edward Jordan, 52, a Chester County juvenile lifer, also was granted parole, while
Brian Hooper, 54, of Chester County was denied parole. Hooper and Jordan were
convicted in the 1980 shooting of a man who they thought would implicate them in a
burglary. Hooper was the shooter and Jordan was his accomplice, according to the
Daily Local News.
Two men from Philadelphia, Henry Smolarski, 53, and Tyrone Jones, 59, were granted
parole. Jones, who has argued his innocence for decades, plans to live with his sister in
North Carolina. Smolarski stabbed a Temple student on South Street. Jones was
convicted of a gang-related execution in North Philadelphia.
"It's really a remarkable day, considering he's been thinking about this for years," said
Hayes Hunt, a lawyer with Cozen O'Connor who has been representing Jones pro
bono. "He's going to be outside a prison for the first time in his adult life."
Hunt said this was the beginning of a long process of reentry.
"It's going to take a lot of social and legal services to help him," he said. "He hasn't
cooked for himself. These basic fundamental life skills, he doesn't have. The tallest
building in Philadelphia was still [City Hall, topped with the statue of] William Penn when
he went to prison. It's a very different world he's going to have to learn to live in."

Judge to decide if DOC should hand over inmate records to Herald-Standard
By Mark Hofmann
A panel of Commonwealth Court judges will review and decide if the state Department
of Corrections (DOC) has violated the right-to-know law after the Herald-Standard
requested inmate medical records from SCI-Fayette in 2014.
Judge Renee Cohn Jubelirer entered a order that requires the DOC to respond by Aug.
8 to court papers filed by newspaper attorney Charles Kelly, who asked the court to
immediately order the DOC to turn over data related to health issues at the prison.
The request stemmed from a third-party report from the Abolitionist Law Center titled
“No Escape: Exposure to Toxic Coal Waste at State Correctional Institution Fayette” in
September. 2014. That report found prisoners were suffering from serious health
problems including respiratory and pulmonary diseases and various cancers higher than
the general population.
Kelly wrote in his brief that in depositions taken from DOC officials during the course of
the nearly two-year legal battle show that the agency did little to fill a right-to-know
(RTK) request filed by the Herald-Standard.
Chris Oppman, the director for the Bureau of Health Care Services for the DOC, and Dr.
Paul Noel, the chief of Clinical Services for the DOC, both said responsive records were
withheld from the newspaper, Kelly wrote.
Kelly stated that Oppman recalled an e-mail exchange between the DOC and the state
Department of Health regarding the DOC’s investigation on the environmental
conditions of the prison, but those e-mails weren’t provided to the Herald-Standard.
In Noel’s deposition, he described numerous documents related to the same
investigation that were also never provided as well as other e-mails.
In his brief, Kelly further points out that the DOC didn’t provide inmate medical records
relevant to the request because the DOC had stated such records would have been too
difficult to locate and copy because of the way the records were filed and maintained.
“When the DOC could provide information to support their public rebuttal of the
Abolitionist Report, it did everything within its power; however, when the DOC was
required to disclose information to (the newspaper) as part of the public debate and
oversight of the environmental and health conditions at SCI-Fayette that could reveal
negative results for the DOC, the DOC did nothing at all,” Kelly writes in the brief.
Kelly went on to state the newspaper was never looking to identify individuals through
medical records, and only sought the data on illnesses. That data is subject to
disclosure as the DOC could have easier redacted personal inmate information, he
wrote.
What Kelly calls the “most glairing example” of bad faith from the DOC was their lack of
effort to even search for documents or performing any investigation regarding what
would be considered responsive to the newspaper’s request.
The DOC was contacted by the Herald-Standard in 2014 with a request seeking
documentation of illnesses contracted by inmates and/or staff members at the State
Correctional Institution (SCI) at Fayette in Labelle, Luzerne Township.
The Abolitionist Law Center’s report linked the health issues to the nearby toxic coal ash
dump and included first-hand reports from inmates suffering from various illnesses that
went untreated and neglected by prison medical staff.
In response to the report, the DOC launched its own investigation at SCI-Fayette and
released a report on Dec. 31, 2104, stating there was “no credible evidence of any
unsafe environmental conditions at the facility or of any abnormalities with regard to the
safety and health of the inmates at the prison.”
However, the DOC report — issued in the form of a press release — did not fulfill the
newspaper’s request for records.
The Herald-Standard’s request clarified that no identifying information was being sought
on inmates or staff, only the types of reported contracted illnesses, particularly
respiratory ailments and various types of cancer, and the number of inmates or staff
with those illnesses reported at the prison since its opening.
In court papers, Kelly contended the DOC withheld readily available information
including medical records and investigation-related documents and made limited,
piecemeal and untimely production of requested documents.
The Pennsylvania Office of Open Records (OOR) released a final determination
statement on Dec. 1, 2014, based on the appeal from the Herald-Standard in the
matter.
In its findings, the OOR determined that the DOC had not established that responsive
records are exempt in a non-criminal investigation and that the DOC didn’t provide any
evidence to explain why the records are exempt.
The OOR stated the DOC is required to provide all responsive records to the
newspaper within 30 days. When the DOC did not comply, the newspaper filed suit in
Commonwealth Court.
Kelly asked that the DOC be immediately ordered to search for and produce documents
and information responsive to the RTK request, reimburse the newspaper for legal fees
and other related costs and should be subject to sanctions under the RTK Law including
civil penalties.
The DOC has until Aug. 8 to file a brief in opposing the claims, and once all briefs are
filed, a panel of the Commonwealth Court will make a decision.
Unless otherwise ordered from the court, there will be no oral arguments on the matter
as a decision is expected to be made based on the submitted briefs.

Houtzdale inmate’s throat cut in razor attack
From Mirror staff reports
An inmate at the State Correctional Institution at Houtzdale used a razor blade to cut
another inmate around his throat sometime Wednesday.
Gary Teet, 49, used a 1.5-inch razor blade to injure Clarence Taylor, 30, according to
state police in Clearfield.
Police said Taylor was walking when Teet got behind him and "sliced" his throat and
neck area, causing a laceration.
A state Department of Corrections spokeswoman said Teet is from Philadelphia County
and is serving a 12 1/2- to 25-year term on a burglary conviction.
Taylor of Lancaster County is serving three to six years on a child sex abuse conviction,
she said.
The alleged aggravated assault happened in a general population housing unit,
Rebecca Reifer, SCI-Houtzdale's public information officer, said.
Reifer said Taylor's injuries were treated at the prison's medical department.
Police did not reveal information about the inmates' relationship, but Reifer confirmed
they were not cellmates.
She said there is an investigation into where Teet got the razor. However, he is a
general population inmate, and those inmates can buy razors at the prison's
commissary.
A motive for the alleged attack was not revealed by police.

Pennsylvania teen gets prison time for teacher killing
LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania teenager has been sentenced to at least 54
years in prison for his role in the stabbing death of a sixth-grade math teacher during a
burglary at her home.
Seventeen-year-old Marcus Rutter pleaded guilty earlier this month to breaking into
teacher Nicole Mathewson's home, robbing her and killing her in 2014.
He was sentenced to 54 to 109 years in prison Friday.
The 32-year-old Mathewson taught at a Conestoga Valley elementary school.
Twenty-six-year-old Thomas Moore, Rutter's cousin, pleaded guilty earlier this year and
is serving life without parole.
The two didn't know Mathewson.
As a juvenile, Rutter didn't face a mandatory life term during sentencing.
Rutter's lawyer has said his client is "very remorseful" and the crime wouldn't have
happened if not for Rutter's adult co-defendant.

Immigration courts in prisons raise issues of due process, public access
By Mark Siegelbaum
YORK, Pa. — Raymond Lahoud stood before a judge in a federal immigration court
here, arguing why he needed his client's son inside the courtroom.
Marco Davilla, an Ecuadorian immigrant, had been accused by his ex-wife of assaulting
his 12-year-old son. The son had told Lahoud it wasn't true, so the energetic, fasttalking immigration attorney from Easton needed the boy to tell the judge the same thing
in order to get Davilla bonded out of prison.
The problem for Lahoud and Davilla was that York Immigration Court is located within
the walls of York County Prison, which houses immigrant detainees awaiting legal
decisions along with regular inmates convicted or awaiting trial for various crimes. The
prison's security protocol doesn't allow anyone under the age of 16 inside.
Unconvinced by Davilla's explanation alone, the judge denied him bond. Though the
charge was eventually dropped when his ex-wife never appeared in court, Davilla spent
another 6 months in jail before he was finally released.
"In what other court system in the world does the warden of the prison decide who can
be a witness or not?" said Craig Shagin, a Harrisburg immigration attorney who also has
had witnesses denied entry to York Immigration Court. "It's unclear to me even after 20
years of doing this who's really calling the shots. Is it the judge, or the prison?"
There are 58 immigration courts across the United States, including 19 located inside or
on the grounds of prisons and detention centers under contract with the federal
government through the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) division.
Immigration judges solely handle matters like determining whether an undocumented
person has committed a deportable offense and whether that individual is a danger to
society or a flight risk.
Because immigration courts inside prisons and detention centers are subject to the
security protocols of those facilities, some lawyers and immigration judges say that can
deny due process for detainees as well as obstruct public access.
Potential witnesses and family can be prohibited from entering to testify because they
are underage, as in Davilla's case, or they may be intimidated by the prison facilities
from doing so, the critics contend.
Sarah Rodriguez, an ICE spokesperson, said that while the agency "is responsible for
maintaining the security of their detention facilities and screens visitors appropriately,
decisions regarding who may enter the courtroom are not made by ICE."
ICE says undocumented immigrants being considered for deportation "are afforded all
appropriate due process under the law, including exhaustion of all avenues of appeal."
PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE
Nine of the 19 prison courtrooms are located inside facilities that are privately operated
by Florida-based Geo Group, Inc. or Tennessee-based Corrections Corporation of
America.
In 2015, courts inside prisons handled about 87,000 cases or 30 percent of all
immigration nationwide. Pearsall Immigration Court, which is attached to the South
Texas Detention Facility in Pearsall, Texas, about 100 miles from the Mexico border,
processed the most cases among immigration prison courts at more than 10,000.
Public access to immigration courts can vary from one prison facility to another, a
Tribune-Review analysis found - a fact acknowledged in interviews with immigration
officials.
Nathan A. Berkeley, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Justice's Executive Office
of Immigration Review, which runs the federal immigration courts, said "in every case,
when confronted with evidence or witness availability issues, immigration judges take
the actions necessary to provide due process to all (immigrants)."
Judges say that's not the case. Contractors who run prisons with immigration courts
"control who goes in and out. The court has really no control over it," said Denise
Slavin, executive vice president of the National Association of Immigration Judges and a
judge at the Baltimore Immigration Court.
"We should be controlling access to our own courtrooms — period," Slavin said of
immigration judges, regardless of whether they are in public or privately operated
prisons.
INSIDE THE WALLS
York County Prison sits in an area of the City of York marked by strip malls and
suburban sprawl. The prison is a two-story greystone of about 405,000 square feet
which houses close to 3,000 inmates. York Immigration Court is a modern-looking
addition of grey and blue stone located on the eastern side of the prison.
Near the entrance of the facility at a large open window, five detainees stand side by
side. One of them is getting her hair braided while another threads her fingers through
the metal covering in front of them and presses her nose against the window. Outside,
the only things in front of her are a small 19th century cemetery and a local post office.
Shouting rings out from a distant open window inside the prison as detainees play a
volleyball game in a secured yard.
To get to Courtroom 2 in York, attorneys and family members pass through a metal
detector and wait for a guard to open a motorized door. The slamming of prison doors
punctuates the silence of the courtroom.
Berkeley said the Justice Department "aims to place its immigration courts in locations
where the number of [immigrant detainees] is greatest." Lawyers and immigration
advocates say courts in prisons are just a cost-cutting decision by the Justice
Department.
"When you're detained in the York County Prison, they just walk you down from the
dorm to the court room. If you're in any of the other prisons, two ICE officers have to
escort you to a van and drive you to the courthouse. It's time, money and resources,"
said Mary Weaver, executive director of Pennsylvania Immigration Resource Center, a
non-profit legal group.
One July day at York, the detainees were brought in one by one to sit in front of Judge
Kuyomars Golparvar. They wear faded orange short-sleeve uniforms with white T-shirts
underneath. A flat screen television with a camera mounted on top points at the judge.
Golparvar takes about ten minutes for each case, occasionally pausing to explain
immigration law to the detainees, many of whom don't have lawyers. About half of the
detainees appear by video from a room inside Pike County Prison in Hawley, Pa. Only
two lawyers attended the proceedings in person; the judge calls the rest from a
speakerphone. None of the detainees have visitors in the courtroom.
JUDGING THE JUDGES
Immigration lawyers, professors and advocates say immigration courts inside prisons
are in line with the secretive nature of the federal immigration system. For example,
unlike federal criminal, civil and bankruptcy court records that can be publicly obtained
online, there's no public database of immigration court filings.
"It removes any kind of public oversight or accountability," said Jacqueline Stevens,
founding director of the Deportation Research Clinic, a Chicago-based center dedicated
to researching immigration law enforcement.
The Justice Department had added 34 new immigration judges since February in an
effort to deal with a massive backlog of cases. Although the move has slowed the rate
of growth, the number of cases awaiting resolution has climbed to a new all-time high of
496,704 as of June 30, according to court data obtained by the Transactional Records
Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University.
The backlog represents an average of 1,819 cases for each of the 273 judges, TRAC
reports.
In response to a lawsuit filed on behalf of the American Immigration Lawyers
Association by Public Citizen, a non-profit law group, the Justice Department has
released more than 16,000 pages of documents on about 800 complaints against
immigration judges.
However, the Justice Department censored the names of each judge, where their courts
are located and the pronouns used to refer to them to hide their identities. Instead, they
refer to each judge with an acronym.
In one complaint, an asylum seeker stated he sought protection in the United States
because of persecution due to his sexuality in his native country. The judge, identified
only as "FRW," wrote that he "studied the demeanor of this individual very carefully
throughout his testimony in Court today, and this gentleman does not appear to be
overtly gay. He bears no effeminate traits or any other trait that would mark him as a
homosexual."
Public Citizen filed an appeal to get the full names of the judges in the complaints,
which is currently pending.
Julia Murray, a Public Citizen attorney, said the group found that "a very small number
of immigration judges were responsible for a huge number of the complaints."

Florida's Technical Violators: How They're Affecting State's Prison Population
By SASCHA CORDNER
The number of people returning to prison based on technical violations has contributed
to an uptick in this year’s new prison admissions. Looking for solutions to that problem
came up during this year’s legislative session and is a priority for the head of the Florida
Department of Corrections.
The good news is Florida’s prison population is just under 100,000—a bit lower than
predicted.
“The estimated population for June 2016 was 99, 270, whereas the actual population is
99, 119—for a negative .2-percent error,” said Matthew Hasbrouck, recently at a
Criminal Justice Estimating Conference meeting.
But, Hasbrouck says the reason the predictions were a bit off when it came to new
prison admissions was due to what’s called “technical violations.” He focuses on
criminal justice issues within the state’s Office of Economic and Demographic Research
(EDR).
“If you look at the new commitments, where we had an estimated 29, 404…the actual
new commitments for fiscal year 2015-2016 were 29, 635 for a 0.8 percent error,” he
added. “So, the error in new commitments weren’t as high as for total admissions. Now,
this was due to an uptick in the conditional and control release offenders that returned
to prison with technical violations.”
So, what’s considered a technical violation? During this past legislative Session,
Incoming Senate President Joe Negron had a few examples.
“A technical violation would be someone who’s supposed to over a weekend remain at
home,” said Negron, at the time. “And, they’re supposed to be home from 7 to 7, and it’s
7:02 and they happen to be in the driveway, and they’re two minutes late. A technical
violation would be, they were supposed to make a $30 a month restitution payment, and
it’s due on the first of the month, but they didn’t have the money on the first, so they
paid it on the second…those kinds of things…things that are technical in the probation
order.”
At the time, some Florida lawmakers weren’t too happy about sending former offenders
back to prison on minor infractions. So, they decide “In 2012, the Department of
Corrections adopted a new Alternative Sanctioning Program to reduce recidivism
through collaboration between courts, probation officers, and law enforcement, and the
program has now been adopted in 12 counties within six judicial circuits,” said Spano,
during the bill's last House committee hearing. “This bill would codify that Alternative
Sanctioning Program to give a framework for each circuit to adopt the program, if the
chief judge in that circuit so chooses. Essentially, the program allows the chief judge or
the circuit in consultation with the state Attorney, the public defender, and the
Department of Corrections to establish a program to address these technical violations.”
Spano said his bill would not only reduce the prisoner population, but it could also
speed up the court process for these probationers who otherwise could be awaiting a
hearing while behind bars. He added there are other advantages as well.
“A technical violation: failure to appear on time for an appointment with a probation
officer,” Spano continued. “An example of a sanction in that instance would be more
frequent reporting: So, instead of reporting once a month, you would report three times
a month or once a week. So, that would be an example of one of the types of sanctions.
So, they differ.”
Spano’s bill passed both the House and Senate and Governor Rick Scott signed it into
law. And, Florida Department of Corrections Secretary Julie Jones says she’s very
proud of the new law that just took effect as it was one of her top legislative priorities.
“We think it’s going to be an important move to start reduce technical violations for
probationers coming back to prison, keep them in community where they can continue
to get a job, have a paycheck, pay victim restitution, pack back the cost to the court, be
with their families, and be closer to the endgame for them to keep them in community
and keep them from violating again,” said Jones, months ago.
But, the Alternative Sanctioning Program is voluntary. And, under the new law, a judge
also has the discretion to reject the lesser penalty.

Garry Sawatzky remembers CFL career-launching sweat lodge that 'changed
everything'
New doc about remarkable journey from prison to pro football airs on CBC TV in
Manitoba on July 30
By Jordan Wagner, CBC News
ou may recognize the name Garry Sawatzky. He was a gang member, sentenced to life
for second-degree murder in 1985. He is also a reformed man. And he is the only player
in the history of the CFL to be recruited straight out of prison.
But there is one critical detail in his story that few people realize. An Indigenous
ceremony and Indigenous people triggered his transformation.
That story is revealed in a new documentary airing on CBC TV in Manitoba on July 30.
The film was produced and directed by Winnipeg filmmaker Ervin Chartrand.
Sawatzky was serving time for killing Wayne Paul Doyle, with no chance of parole for 10
years.
He was sent to Stony Mountain Institution, Man., and was assigned to a cultural range
in the prison occupied by Indigenous inmates. This proved to be quite the culture shock.
"It was upstairs on the B side [of the prison]... and it's all new to me. I'm the only white
guy on this range."
One of the inmates took Sawatzky under his wing. He explained the meaning of the
drums being played, the songs being sung, the purpose behind the smudge and the
underpinnings of the culture he was now being steeped in.
Eventually, Sawatzky was invited into a sweat lodge. It was a commitment Sawatzky
took seriously, going in clean and sober. "[My friend] just thought I needed it. Next thing
I know, I'm not being irritated by the noise. I'm understanding why the songs are being
played. I understand what it means."
In the sweat lodge, all the old grudges and animosities were put aside. Through the
heat and the smoke, Sawatzky found a kind of peace he hadn't found anywhere else.
"This is the one that changed everything. I'm not a native guy; I didn't go there looking
for nothing. But I found everything."
Sawatzky walked out of the sweat and had an epiphany.
"I was still weak, still a little tired, and I nd I sent to the shower. I remember having the
shower on me, and then it came: I'm going to go play football."
People around him noticed the change.
"There are some lifers that never get released because of their attitude towards society
or the risk is just too high," said Dan Beaudette, a former prison psychologist who
worked with Sawatzky. "But what I did see with [Sawatzky] was that he was amenable
to working on himself. He was amenable to going for counselling, he was amenable to
trying to find all the resources inside the institution that could make him better."
Sawatzky dedicated himself to pursuing this goal, training every day. He was
considered by the acting coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, but that didn't go
anywhere.
However, eventually his tenacity and persistence paid off.
"I don't know if this guy can play," George Chayka, vice-president of business for the
B.C. Lions, told his general manager at the time. "But I'm telling you, he's a physical
specimen. I don't care what side of the 49th you're on."
Released on parole, Sawatzky moved to British Columbia. The B.C. Lions signed him in
1995.

Boot camp prisons find their time is running out
By Corinne Ramey
MINEVILLE, N.Y.—At 5:30 on a misty morning in the Adirondacks, 180 prisoners leapt
out of bed when a bugle call blasted over a loudspeaker.
Fifteen minutes later, they were performing synchronized exercises while a drill
instructor barked orders.
“Motivated! Motivated! Motivated, sir!” the men shouted in unison between calisthenics.
These inmates are serving six-month sentences at Moriah Shock Incarceration
Correctional Facility, one of the last prisons in the U.S. that seek to “shock” inmates out
of criminal behavior through a military-style boot camp. Inmates at the facility typically
trade multiyear sentences for six-month stints.
Such programs used to be widespread, but fell out of favor in much of the country amid
debate about their effectiveness. Only a handful remain and two of them are in New
York, where correction officials say their brand of military-style training reduces
recidivism and saves taxpayer money through shorter sentences.
“It instills self-discipline,” said Boyce Rawson, a captain at Moriah. “Inmates take
personal pride in themselves as well as their platoon.”
As recently as 1995, according to federal research, there were 75 state-operated boot
camps nationwide for adult offenders, 30 for juveniles and 18 in local jails, including at
New York City’s Rikers Island jail complex. A 1994 federal crime bill allocated millions
for such programs.
While the camps were popular with tough-on-crime politicians, reviews were mixed. One
Justice Department analysis found the camps had a positive effect on inmates’
attitudes, behavior and safety while in prison. But that analysis and other studies found
the programs had no notable impact on recidivism.
The programs gradually closed. The Federal Bureau of Prisons ended its boot camps in
2005. New York has closed two facilities in the past several years, leaving Moriah and
Lakeview, in Chautauqua County, as the only ones left in the state. Other states have
shifted their camps toward what they call more “evidence-based,” rehabilitative models.
At Moriah, a former mining facility with no fence, inmates are kept constantly occupied.
In addition to physical training, which is based on U.S. Army Field Manuals, they attend
substance-abuse and academic classes and do manual labor in nearby communities.
There are no televisions, no packages and a limited commissary. Inmates are allowed
one 10-minute phone call every other weekend. Male inmates’ hair is buzzed upon
arrival and female inmates’ hair is cropped. Between each activity, inmates move in
formation, executing perfect 90-degree turns in their gleaming boots.
On a recent day, inmates built a playground at a Head Start center and ran through an
obstacle course.
“If there were bullets flying over your head, you’d be hit!” an officer yelled, as inmates
army-crawled through a sand pit.
The camp has its own peculiar vocabulary. Inmates sleep in squad bays. Some officers
are drill instructors. Inmates are divided into platoons, which collectively form a
company.
Punishments include piling rocks in a pyramid and shifting sand between boxes. A wall
chart, with “The Biggest Loser” in colorful bubble letters, documents inmates’ weight
loss.
At Moriah, staff and inmates praise the program, saying inmates are busy instead of
languishing in a cell. Many members of the staff say they are changing lives in a way
that happens nowhere else in the state’s prison system.
“I’m your best friend and worst enemy,” said Capt. Rawson, who has spent 35 years in
the corrections department. “Figuratively speaking, you have to be able to kick them in
the butt one day and praise them the next.”
“Here you get broken down from the inside out,” said inmate Jose Ozuna, 29 years old,
who said he was convicted of possessing crack cocaine. “This inmate is actually
blessed.”
Local community members, too, praise the labor that inmates put into shoveling snow,
fighting forest fires and work projects in small towns with underfunded municipal
governments. In 2010, when the state said it would close Moriah, nearby communities
fought to keep the facility open.
But while the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision
has consistently touted the program’s recidivism rates, academics and researchers say
these analyses aren’t sufficiently rigorous, and compare different types of offenders.
They say any benefits are likely due to aspects like counseling, not aggressive, militarystyle ways of instilling discipline, which numerous analyses have discredited.
“It’s correctional quackery,” said Paul Gendreau, a psychology professor emeritus at
University of New Brunswick in Canada. “Being fit, having a tie on, saying ‘yes sir’ and
‘no sir,’ is not predictive of criminal behavior.”
Others say the reality is more complicated. Doris MacKenzie, a retired Pennsylvania
State University criminology professor, called the camps a correctional fad and said she
would never recommend opening one today. But for some inmates, the atmosphere and
shorter sentences may be better than several years in prison.
“It isn’t an easy program to dismiss,” she said.

After death of corrections K9, handler & supervisor reassigned
Two people have been permanently reassigned to non-K9 duties after the death of Totti,
a Pa. Corrections dog that died after being left in a hot vehicle, the state corrections
secretary said Thursday.
Totti's handler, Sgt. Chad Holland, and his supervisor, Capt. David VanGorder in the
drug interdiction unit, now have non-canine duties at the State Correctional Institution at
Rockview, said John Wetzel, corrections secretary.
The reassignments follow completion of the department's internal investigation into the
July 7 death of K9 Totti.
Wetzel said Totti was left unattended in a hot vehicle for three hours, and was
unconscious but alive when he was discovered. First aid was rendered at the scene and
he was rushed to an area veterinarian. Despite the emergency treatment, Totti died
several hours later from a heat-related seizure while in veterinary care.
A senior corrections officer with military K9 experience has been assigned to lead the
drug interdiction unit, Wetzel said.
An internal disciplinary review will be conducted to determine whether disciplinary action
will be taken against the officers involved.
"While the investigation concluded that this was not an intentional act and we recognize
that those involved are devastated by what happened – as all of us are – this does not
excuse the outcome," said Wetzel. "Therefore I have moved both individuals out of the
unit and we will let the disciplinary process take its course."
The DOC is cooperating with the Centre County district attorney's office, Wetzel said.
The internal investigation report and any additional information requested will be
provided to the DA's office and state police.
The DOC is examining the purchase of heat alarm equipment for K9 vehicles to help
prevent a similar situation from happening in the future, Wetzel said.
It is also evaluating recommendations made in the internal review report. They include:
Updating position descriptions to specifically reflect the duties and responsibilities of
employees while working/training at the K9 training academy.
Reviewing the DOC's Drug Interdiction Unit policy to address specific responsibilities for
staff assigned to the K9 training academy.
Reviewing the DOC's Drug Interdiction Unit policy to address specific responsibility and
care of unassigned dogs while kept at the K9 training academy, including the
transporting and holding of dogs in vehicles.

Preliminary hearings scheduled for 3 inmates charged in prison riot
By Julie Rai Rickard
HOUTZDALE - Three additional state prison inmates charged for their involvement in a
riot at SCI Houtzdale in April 2015 were scheduled for preliminary hearings Thursday.
Bahair Stafford, 29, is charged with aggravated assault, assault by prisoner, riot, simple
assault, disorderly conduct and harassment. After a preliminary hearing before District
Judge James Hawkins, all charges were held to court.
Aki D. Jones, 40, is charged aggravated assault, assault by prisoner, riot, four counts of
simple assault, disorderly conduct and four summary counts of harassment. He waived
his right to a hearing.
Isaiah Samir Lakeem Hall, 25, is charged with three counts each of aggravated assault,
assault by prisoner and simple assault, as well as riot. His hearing was continued to a
later date.
The charges stem from assaults that occurred after two corrections officers tried to
break up a fight between two inmates. Of the five officers assaulted by inmates, four of
them were taken to UPMC Altoona for treatment.
Three other inmates charged are Norman Wothman, 52, who pleaded guilty while he
was testifying at his recent trial, and Yafest Oliver, 27, and Richard Adams, 35, who
signed plea agreements. Oliver and Adams are scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 9.
According to the affidavits of probable cause, on April 28, 2015, Adams and another
inmate were engaged in a physical altercation in the south yard inside the prison. A
corrections officer reported seeing the other inmate lying on the ground and Adams
kicking him in the head and face area. This officer contacted the control office to report
the assault.
The officer then went toward Adams as he began to walk away from the victim. Other
officers arrived to assist the first corrections officer. As they approached him, they
repeated several orders to Adams in regard to being handcuffed. Adams refused all
orders, took his coat off and threw it onto the ground. He then took a fighting stance and
stated “you’re not cuffing me.”
The officers took Adams to the ground and attempted to restrain him with handcuffs.
Several inmates stepped in and began assaulting the five officers. They punched, hit
and kicked them multiple times in their heads, faces and bodies.
Hall kicked three of the officers several times about the head and body while they were
on the ground. Adams also kicked, stomped and punched one of these same officers.
Oliver also struck this same CO with closed fists about the head and body. That officer
suffered a laceration on his head about three centimeters long, facial contusions, a
concussion and a sinus fracture.
Jones was observed punching one of the officers in the head multiple times and
wrestling him to the ground, the affidavits said.
Stafford allegedly kicked one of the officers several times in the head and body while he
was on the ground.
While this was happening, Wothman allegedly struck one of the officers in the head with
a closed fist, knocking him to the ground. Oliver allegedly struck this same officer with
closed fists. This officer was transported to UPMC Altoona for treatment of his injuries
that included a concussion, contusions on his face and pain in his right arm.
Oliver also allegedly kicked and punched another officer while he was on the ground.
This victim was also taken to UPMC Altoona for treatment. Oliver allegedly struck a
fourth officer with closed fists to the back of his head. Oliver then allegedly grabbed his
radio and hit him in the head with it. This officer suffered injuries to his neck, right arm,
right wrist and right rib area.
After the victims were removed from the south yard, the inmates allegedly refused to
follow directions from the staff to return to their housing units. Wothman allegedly
threatened the other inmates who were attempting to leave as the officers requested.
Wothman then encouraged the other inmates to remain in the yard and assault the
other officers who were releasing the inmates back to their housing units, according to
the reports.

Pennsylvania Beauty Queen Sentenced to Prison After Raising $30,000 in Fake Cancer
Scheme: Officials
BY TRACY BLOOM
When former Miss Pennsylvania U.S. International told her friends and family she had
leukemia in March 2013, they did everything they could to help.
They hosted fundraisers in her honor, drove her to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore
for treatment, and even had her carried across the finish line of a race.
But friends and family of Brandi Lee Weaver-Gates, 24, started to get suspicious when
she insisted on attending her chemotherapy treatments alone and her hair grew back
after she shaved her head.
It was only after contacting the hospitals where she claimed to seek treatment did her
friends and family learned there was no record of Gates being a patient or having
cancer.
Weaver-Gates was sentenced to two to four years in prison and five years of probation
Tuesday after pleading guilty to multiple charges of theft by deception and receiving
stolen property, according to court documents.
Weaver-Gates admitted in court to raising over $30,000 and defrauding 150 people in
her scheme, many of whom had cancer themselves.
“This was the ultimate betrayal of our giving community and those who actually battle
cancer and their loved ones,” District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller said in a news release.
“She actually stole that time and money from giving people who were actually suffering
from cancer, some of whom lived near her and have since passed.”
Weaver-Gates, who was initially charged last August, in court acknowledged her fraud
and apologized to her victims.
“She pledged to pay everyone back and promised she had a plan and wanted to be
held accountable,” Parks Miller said.
After her arrest, Miss Pennsylvania U.S. International revoked her title and demanded
Weaver-Gates return her crown and sash.
“When you deceive the public and take people’s money that is under the pretense of
fraud, we will not tolerate those actions,” said a statement from the pageant organizers
Butler’s Beauties in August.
CNN reached out to Weaver-Gates’ lawyer, Deborah Lux, but did not receive an
immediate response.

State prison for man accused of trying to run over Allentown police captain near
sinkhole
By Laurie Mason-Schroder
LENTOWN — A Danielsville man who endangered an Allentown police captain and
others while taking a high-speed detour around a sinkhole last year was sentenced
Thursday to three to six years in a state prison.
Junior O. Marte, 39, frowned and shook his head as Lehigh County Judge Maria L.
Dantos handed down the sentence, saying repeatedly that he didn't understand why he
was getting so much time.
Dantos pointed to Marte's prior record, which included 15 arrests and 11 convictions for
crimes including aggravated assault, and told him she needed to protect the community.
"It's time we put you away from the people you are endangering and hurting," the judge
said.
Marte pleaded guilty in June to three counts of reckless endangerment. He was
arrested shortly after the June 23, 2015, incident near the Merchant's Square Mall.
According to court records, two Allentown fire police officers were directing traffic just
after 5 p.m. around a large sinkhole that had opened up after heavy rains at Lehigh and
Vultee streets. Marte was traveling south on Lehigh Street and drove around the
barricade.
"He gunned it, hit the gas and came right at me," officer testifies about incident near
sinkhole
"He gunned it, hit the gas and came right at me," officer testifies about incident near
sinkhole
As fire police signaled to him to stop, Marte made a U-turn and sped north, nearly hitting
two fire police officers as he tried to get past the barricade, police said.
Allentown police Capt. Bill Reinik had been called to assist and spotted Marte's vehicle
backing into a parking spot at the mall. Reinik drove his patrol vehicle in front of Marte's
car and ordered him to get out.
Instead, police say, Marte reversed his car and sped toward Reinik, who jumped out of
the way as Marte fled.
Marte was captured a short time later. In court Thursday, he apologized and told Dantos
that he's had time to think about his behavior since his arrest.
"I messed up. It won't happen again. I'll sit in traffic next time. I just took off out of
impulse," he said.
Marte's attorney, Eric Dowdle, said his client's behavior can be partially explained by his
distrust of police due to officers' treatment of him when he was arrested in the past.
Dowdle showed a video of one incident to prosecutors but it was not shown in court.
Deputy District Attorney Jeffrey Burd said there was no excuse for Marte's actions in the
sinkhole incident, nor for his past criminal behavior.
"Disregard for the safety of others is routine for this defendant," Burd said. "The
defendant disregards authority. That's routine for him, too."
Burd noted that Reinik does not think Marte was trying to run him over but was instead
trying to avoid being arrested.

Inmate charged with escape after allegedly fleeing work release program
By Pamela Sroka-Holzmann
An inmate was arraigned Wednesday on an escape charge after leaving the
Northampton County Community Corrections facility to seek employment and not
returning, court records say.
Nicole E. Zettlemoyer, 35, whose previous address was in the 1600 block of Lindberg
Road in Bethlehem Township, left the Easton facility to go to work at 12:30 p.m. July 10
and was scheduled to return by 11 that night, court records said.
At 7 p.m. July 10, the employer contacted the Department of Corrections saying
Zettlemoyer left her job at 2:20 p.m. and never returned, according to court records. She
was last seen in the Easton/Bethlehem area and her employer was in Phillipsburg, the
department said.
The department called Zettlemoyer on her cellphone and received no answer. A field
officer at the 135 S. Union St. facility then notified police. Zettlemoyer was reported
missing at 11:30 p.m. via the facility's hotline, records say.
Wilson Borough police later picked Zettlemoyer up at Easton Hospital and she was
returned to the facility at 10:17 p.m. Tuesday.

SCRANTON — Scranton firefighters gave four Lackawanna County Prison correctional
officers preventive treatment for smoke inhalation after the officers helped extinguish a
fire in an industrial-sized dryer at the jail, Warden Tim Betti told the prison board
Wednesday.
Prison staff saw 9-foot flames when they entered the room of the unit that overheated
while drying dish rags at about 4:15 p.m. Tuesday. When they doused the blaze with
extinguishers, the room filled with nasty-smelling black smoke. Mr. Betti estimated 15 to
20 staff and officials responded to the fire, which was contained to the dryer.

Children's Home sex assault suspect fled for 7 months, cops say
By Pamela Sroka-Holzmann
The former staff member at The Children's Home of Easton accused of sexually
assaulting three teenage girls there fled from authorities for seven months, investigators
say.
Wilson Borough Police Chief Steve Parkansky said when police filed three warrants for
the arrest of 33-year-old Troy Lowell Bussey in December 2015, Bussey initially
planned to turn himself in on the charges.
Bussey then moved, turned off his phones and left the radar of police, he said. Bussey's
most recent address is listed in the 100 block of North Third Street in Easton.
"He went in the wind right after," Parkansky said.
Wilson police then enlisted the resources of the U.S. Marshal's Service and
Northampton County Sheriff's Office. After seven months of searching, sheriff's officers
found Bussey working at an industrial site in Palmer Township, said Sgt. Michael J.
Orchulli, criminal and civil division supervisor for the county's sheriff's department.
Law enforcement on Tuesday "quietly" traveled to Bussey's workplace and waited in a
human resources office until he arrived. He then was arrested without incident, Orchulli
said.
"There was no trouble whatsoever and then we turned him over to Wilson Borough," he
said.
Bussey is accused of sexually assaulting three teenage girls at The Children's Home of
Easton for two years.
Authorities say Bussey allegedly committed the acts between Jan. 1, 2013, and Feb. 1,
2015, while a staff member at the home at 2000 S. 25th St. in Wilson Borough.
Bussey was in charge of the girls' care and welfare at The Children's Home during the
time of the crimes, borough police said. Bussey allegedly had sex with two of the girls
and touched the other girl's buttocks, breasts over her shirt and genital area.
Bussey is facing charges of one count each of statutory sexual assault, aggravated
indecent assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse of a person less than 16, and
indecent assault of a person less than 16; and three counts each of institutional sexual
assault, endangering the welfare of a child, and corruption of minors.
He said Bussey had been working in Palmer Township for about a year. He remains
jailed in Northampton County Prison in lieu of $150,000, $100,000 and $100,000 for all
three cases, respectively.
Anita Paukovits, executive director of the organization, on Tuesday said Bussey has
since been terminated and the organization is working cooperatively with authorities.
Modifications have been put in place to prevent future incidents, she said.
"The Children's Home works very diligently to protect all the children and families we
serve. We make every effort to prevent incidents like this from happening," Paukovits
had said.

Community outreach is a smart, crime-preventing tactic by district attorney's office
By the Editorial Board
THE ISSUE
Sarah Fritz was hired in June as community outreach coordinator for the district
attorney’s office. In her position — the first of its kind here — Fritz will visit high schools,
colleges, churches, retirement communities and nonprofit organizations in an attempt to
prevent crime.
We’re excited to see what Sarah Fritz, an Indiana native, can accomplish in Lancaster.
She’s 31 years old, and her record speaks for itself.
Previously, she worked with children at Chester County Youth Services. Before that,
she helped develop a community homeless assessment and referral team at Tabor
Community Services.
But perhaps the most intriguing achievement on her resume is her master’s degree in
peace and conflict resolution from American University.
At a time when peace and conflict resolution often seem out of reach in this country, an
expert on such topics is more than welcome to join the fight against crime in Lancaster
County.
Troubled kids bring their troubled thoughts with them to school, where too often they
exhibit anger and terrible judgment. So Fritz is rightly starting by focusing on schools.
“There certainly are a number of people who we have to aggressively prosecute and
hold accountable, but we are never going to arrest our way out of crime,” District
Attorney Craig Stedman said in a statement. “The far better solution, and most
beneficial to everyone, is to influence behavior and prevent crime before it takes place.”
The district attorney’s office is set up to prosecute crime. Thus, in most cases, it can
only react to violence or threats — for example, a school bomb threat — instead of
preventing them in the first place.
LNP reported that in the 2015-16 school year there were 27 bomb threats in Lancaster
County schools. School and police officials say such acts usually can’t be predicted. As
John Baker, chief of police for Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13, said, “Evil does
not call ahead. It just shows up.”
As we’ve stated before, we’re worried about these kids. We’re worried about why
thoughts of bombs enter their minds — other than that they’re trying to dodge class.
We’re worried about their future, and the long-term ramifications that may come from
this one, horrific mistake.
That’s where Fritz comes in.
Instead of opting for jail cells, we need to educate children who may not know better,
who may have a blurred interpretation of right and wrong, who may feel that they have
no purpose but to hurt or instill fear in someone else.
Today, to send a threat is as easy as it has ever been. Kids no longer need a bathroom
stall or a mirror to scribble their message onto. All they need is a computer or
smartphone. Baker was correct in saying that students “have a bigger bullhorn than in
the past.”
But instead of reacting to messages of fear or hatred by handing down punishment
when those messages are disseminated, we should utilize Fritz’s role to prevent those
situations.
The county offers educational programs to help prevent drug and alcohol abuse.
Schools have health classes to help prevent obesity and sexually transmitted diseases.
Driver education courses help prevent irresponsible driving tactics. So why wouldn’t we
have programs to help prevent crime?
We commend the district attorney’s office for acknowledging such a need, and for using
its resources — $45,000 a year, in fact — to share its concern with educators, students,
people of faith and other groups.
At a time when we seem to wake up to the news of one tragedy after another, we
cannot afford to ignore such a reality.

http://abc7chicago.com/news/hostage-situation-resolved-at-cook-county-jail/1447612/
CHICAGO -- The Cook County Sheriff's Department says the hostage situation at Cook
County Jail has been resolved.
Officials said around 4:30 p.m. two inmates took another inmate hostage with a sharp
object on the Division 10 maximum security tier.
"These two detainees created tremendous chaos," said Cara Smith, Chief Policy Officer
for the Cook County Sheriff's Department.
Officials said the hostage-takers covered the floor with soapy water and obscured the
fixed cameras in the housing tier, and eventually ripped the cameras down entirely.
"They used soap from the toilets to create very slippery conditions on the floor in the
tier. Our staff retreated for their own protection," Smith said.
Jail officials say that a flash bomb was used to get into the area where the hostage was
being held as he was stabbed in the leg. No staff were injured.
"One of the detainees went to injure the hostage by stabbing in his leg. Our staff was
able to gain entrance using a distraction device," Smith said.

Muslim inmates sue Cass County Jail, claim they were fed pork
By Ethan Nelson
FARGO—Four Muslim inmates have sued the Cass County Jail and several of its
jailers, claiming they secretly were fed pork, according to a complaint filed in federal
court.

Jail officials declared its meals were pork-free in November 2015, according to the
complaint, but continued to serve pork to inmates, including Muslims whose religion
prohibits them from eating pork, the inmates allege in their hand-written lawsuit filed in
U.S. District Court in Fargo.
"We believe that having kitchen staff prepare separate meals for Muslim inmates was
becoming a hassle and affecting their budget," the complaint said.
The complaint says inmates weren't told why the jail declared itself pork-free, though the
plaintiffs—including Ashley Hunter, the man charged with murder in the slayings of two
men in north Fargo last summer—allege it was in response to requests from Muslim
inmates.
Prior to jail staff claiming they didn't serve any meals with pork in them, Muslim inmates
were served pork-free food, the inmates say in their complaint.
"We believe their declaration of being a non-pork facility was a lie to calm our worries of
being fed pork in any form," the complaint said.
Uyin Alau, one of the plaintiffs, told The Forum in a phone interview that he and other
inmates learned the jail was serving them pork from a Muslim corrections officer, who
brought them labels and recipes from the jail's kitchen that listed pork products as
ingredients in inmates' meals. He said the inmates believed they weren't being fed pork
until the officer told them otherwise.
The corrections officer who allegedly tipped off the inmates isn't named in the lawsuit.
The inmates are seeking $100 million, a public apology and the firing of jail staff
connected to serving pork to Muslim inmates, according to the complaint.
"They fed us pork during the holy month of Ramadan," Alau said, "which is completely
disrespectful. It's the most disrespectful thing you could do to somebody."
"We have no one left to trust at this point," said Alau, who recently pleaded guilty to
helping rob a Casey's General Store in January 2015.
Inmates Donivan Weis and Abdi Sahel also signed on to the lawsuit. Weis was arrested
on drug charges in March, and Sahel is charged with simple assault, attempted
kidnapping, terrorizing and robbery.
It's not the first time a Muslim inmate has accused Cass County jailers of failing to honor
his religious practices.
In 2012, Cass County Jail inmate Tyrone Jones accused the jail of treating Muslims in
the jail unfairly when trying to practice their religion, alleging jail staff didn't allow
Muslims to hold prayer services in the facility's day room.
The new lawsuit, which was filed July 8, names the jail and six corrections officers as
defendants. The defendants haven't filed a written response.
Lt. Amanda Henrickson said the jail administrator is out of town, and she had no
knowledge of a lawsuit and couldn't comment.
Sgt. Tim Briggeman, spokesman for the sheriff's office, said he was not aware of the
lawsuit.

Brooklyn judge orders convicted child molester to serve 15-year sentence in medical
facility because he's 'vulnerable to attacks' in federal jail
By John Marzoli
In an unprecedented move, a Brooklyn judge ordered that a four-time convicted child
molester must serve his 15-year sentence in a medical facility for sex offenders
because a regular federal jail would be too dangerous for him.
Federal Judge Jack Weinstein, who has frequently clashed with prosecutors over
mandatory jail terms that he believes are unduly harsh, is now on a collision course with
the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, which is not obligated to comply with recommendations
from sentencing judges.
The serial sicko, Darnell Washington, pleaded guilty to molesting a youngster and
possession of child pornography — crimes which carried a mandatory minimum jail term
of 15 years.
Sentencing guidelines call for 24 to 30 years in prison due to his recidivism, but the
judge said the guidelines were excessive.
Defense lawyer Deirdre Von Dornum argued that Washington, 27, is extremely
vulnerable to attacks in prison because he is gay, mentally ill, and because of his
criminal history.
“The choices are, should he be raped or should he be in solitary confinement,” Von
Dornum said Thursday in Brooklyn Federal Court.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Erik Paulsen countered that in the more than three years that
Washington has been at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, he has not
been assaulted or placed in protective custody.
But the judge concluded that the prison system could not protect Washington in a
general population elsewhere, and would be forced to place him in solitary confinement
which would make the mandatory 15-year sentence cruel and unusual — and
unconstitutional.
Weinstein told Washington that his lawyers will return to his courtroom and file a motion
for his release if the prisons board does not follow his recommendation that he serve
103 months at the Federal Medical Center in Devens, Mass., where there is a special
treatment program for sex offenders, and the remainder in residential treatment
facilities.
“The sentence relies on the assumption that recommendations will be carried out” by
prison authorities, Weinstein said.
Washington told the judge that he needs treatment so he does not end up back in jail.
“I want to make my family proud, not i n the way it is now, they act like they don’t even
know me,” Washington said.

Denver Post
A pregnant deputy can't wear a utility belt, and without the belt, the
deputy has nowhere to put her radio, keys, handcuffs, pepper spray or
nunchucks.
"Without that, you don't have anything," said Denver Sheriff Department
Deputy Lindsay Haviland.
In the past, that meant Denver deputies had to take leave or unpaid
time off when they were pregnant once they felt unsafe working around
inmates.
But a new policy that started in May has modernized the department's
policy for pregnant deputies. They now can ask for a modified duty so
they are not working among inmates. ...read on

[Maryland] Gov. Hogan funds
$540,000 for day-reporting center in
Washington County
Herald-Mail Media
Washington County has been awarded a $540,000 state grant toward
establishing Maryland's first adult day-reporting center, Gov. Larry
Hogan said Monday.
The money will help fulfill a key recommendation of the governor's
Heroin and Opioid Emergency Task Force to establish a pilot program for
a day-reporting center to provide treatment for nonviolent drug
offenders, according to a governor's office news release.
"Since day one, our administration has been committed to fighting
Maryland's heroin crisis, and today's announcement is representative of
that continued commitment," Hogan said in the release. "This pilot
program is another step to provide those suffering with addiction with
the effective treatment before, during and after incarceration - with the
ultimate goal of helping them become productive members of society
and keeping our neighborhoods safe." ...read on

A recent report shows the state recidivism rate after 3-years for other
county jails is 48%, while the national average is almost 50%. Hampden
County Jail's rate is a little over 33%.
The Hampden County Sheriff's Department's Assistant Superintendent

[Ohio] Elephant sedative emerges as
new threat in overdose battle
Associated Press
4
A drug used to sedate elephants and other large animals, 100 times as
potent as the fentanyl already escalating the country's heroin troubles, is
suspected in spates of overdoses in several states, where authorities say
they've found it mixed with or passed off as heroin.
The appearance of carfentanil, one of the most potent opioids known to
investigators, adds another twist to the fight against painkillers in a
country already awash in heroin and fentanyl cases.
Each time authorities start to get a handle on one type of drug, another
seems to pop up, said Joseph Pinjuh, chief of the Organized Crime Drug
Enforcement Task Force and narcotics unit for the U.S. attorney in
Cleveland. ...read on
11 reasons video visitation is better
(and safer) than face-to-face visits
CorrectionsOne
Three women arrived at the prison early on Saturday morning wearing
dresses. The dresses just passed the dress code for visitation however
the women wore no under garments. The women one by one were
directed by correctional officers to a private search area and given a pat
search by a female officer. This is not a strip-search. All pockets are
emptied and only one vehicle key, an identification card and a set
amount of cash is allowed inside for canteen items. A bra shake is
conducted but not a strict inspection of the bra to find hidden
compartments for pills or contraband. No body cavity checks for visitors
of course.
Once inside the visitation park the women waited anxiously for their
husbands to come in for the visit. One inmate at a time, the men went
into a search room with a male officer to be strip-searched. Mouth open,
tongue up and down, butt checks spread and testicles lifted. This is the
reality of prison life and what officers must do to protect others from
weapons or contraband. It's a thankless dirty job in the strip room. After
the all-clear the inmate is then allowed to enter the visitation park to see
family members. ...read on

Correctional medicine: The principle
of fairness
Corrections.com
I am often asked by my non-correctional colleagues what it is like to
work in a jail. I tell them that practicing correctional medicine is different
in many ways than medicine in the "free" world. Many of them scoff at
this. How could the practice of medicine be different in a jail than it is
anywhere else? "Medicine is medicine," they say.
But correctional medicine is different. In my experience, if you just throw
a practitioner into a jail or prison clinic without any training, he likely will
not do well. It took me two full years before I was comfortable in my sick
call clinics and I am still learning things as I go. Experience matters in
Corrections! ...read on

Johns Hopkins study links prisons
and jails to HIV, hepatitis and TB
epidemics
The Baltimore Sun

The cycling of inmates in and out of prisons and jails around the world
contributes significantly to the global epidemics of HIV,
viral hepatitis andtuberculosis, according to new research from the Johns
Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Inmates typically suffer from higher rates of those diseases, which
spread more readily in crowded correctional facilities and then get
passed to others on the outside when the inmates are released, the
study found.
The study, "Global burden of HIV, viral hepatitis, and tuberculosis in
prisoners and detainees," was published July 17 in The Lancet as part of

Announcement of Nationally Coordinated Prisoner
Workstoppage for Sept 9, 2016
Prisoners from across the United States have just released this call to action for a nationally coordinated
prisoner workstoppage against prison slavery to take place on September 9th, 2016.

This is a Call to Action Against Slavery in America
In one voice, rising from the cells of long term solitary confinement, echoed in the dormitories and cell
blocks from Virginia to Oregon, we prisoners across the United States vow to finally end slavery in 2016.
On September 9'h of 1971 prisoners took over and shut down Attica, New York State's most notorious
prison. On September 9"1 of 2016, we will begin an action to shut down prisons all across this country. We
will not only demand the end to prison slavery, we will end it ourselves by ceasing to be slaves.
In the 19705 the US prison system was crumbling. in Walpole, San Quentin, Soledad, Angola and many
other prisons, people were standing up, fighting and taking ownership of their lives and bodies back from
the plantation prisons. For the last six years we have remembered and renewed that struggle. In the
interim, the prisoner population has ballooned and technologies of control and confinement have
developed into the most sophisticated and repressive in world history. The prisons have become more
dependent on slavery and torture to maintain their stability.
Prisoners are forced to work for little or no pay. That is slavery. The 13?1 amendment to the US
constitution maintains a legal exception for continued slavery in US prisons. It states ?neither slavery nor
involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted,
shall exist within the United States." Overseers watch over our every move, and if we do not perform our
appointed tasks to their liking, we are punished. They may have replaced the whip with pepper spray, but
many of the other torments remain: isolation, restraint positions, stripping off our clothes and investigating
our bodies as though we are animals.

Announcement of Nationally Coordinated Prisoner Workstoppage for Sept 9, 2016 Page 2 of 3
Slavery is alive and well in the prison system, but by the end of this year, it won't be anymore. This is a
call to end slavery in America. This call goes directly to the slaves themselves. We are not making
demands or requests of our captors, we are calling ourselves to action. To every prisoner in every state
and federal institution across this land, we call on you to stop being a slave, to let the crops rot in the
plantation fields, to go on strike and cease reproducing the institutions ofyour confinement.
This is a call for a nation?wide prisoner work stoppage to end prison slavery, starting on September
2016. They cannot run these facilities without us.
Non-violent protests, work stoppages, hunger strikes and other refusals to participate in prison routines
and needs have increased in recent years. The 2010 Georgia prison strike, the massive rolling California
hunger strikes, the Free Alabama Movement's 2014 work stoppage, have gathered the most attention,
but they are far from the only demonstrations of prisoner power. Large, sometimes effective hunger
strikes have broken out at Ohio State Penitentiary, at Menard Correctional in Illinois, at Red Onion in
Virginia as well as many other prisons. The burgeoning resistance movement is diverse and
interconnected, including immigrant detention centers, women?s prisons and juvenile facilities. Last fall,
women prisoners at Yuba County Jail in California joined a hunger strike initiated by women held in
immigrant detention centers in California, Colorado and Texas.
Prisoners all across the country regularly engage in myriad demonstrations of power on the inside. They
have most often done so with convict solidarity, building coalitions across race lines and gang lines to
confront the common Oppressor.
Forty-five years after Attica, the waves of change are returning to America?s prisons. This September we
hope to coordinate and generalize these protests, to build them into a single tidal shift that the American
prison system cannot ignore or withstand. We hope to and prison slavery by making it impossible, by
refusing to be slaves any longer.
To achieve this goal, we need support from people on the outside. A prison is an easy?lockdown
environment, a place of control and con?nement where repression is built into every stone wall and chain
link, every gesture and routine. When we stand up to these authorities, they come down on us, and the
only protection we have is solidarity from the outside. Mass incarceration, whether in private or state-run
facilities is a scheme where slave catchers patrol our neighborhoods and monitor our lives. It requires
mass criminalization. Our tribulations on the inside are a tool used to control our families and communities
on the outside. Certain Americans live every day under not only the threat of extra-judicial execution?as
protests surrounding the deaths of Mike Brown, Tamir Rice. Sandra Bland and so many others have
drawn long overdue attention to?but also under the threat of capture, of being thrown into these
plantations, shackled and forced to work.

Announcement of Nationally Coordinated Prisoner Workstoppage for Sept 9, 2016 Page 3 of 3
Our protest against prison slavery is a protest against the school to prison pipeline, a protest against
police terror, a protest against post-release controls. When we abolish slavery, they'll lose much of their
incentive to lock up our children, they?ll stop building traps to pull back those who they?ve released. When
we remove the economic motive and grease of our forced labor from the US prison system, the entire
structure of courts and police, of control and slave-catching must shift to accommodate us as humans,
rather than slaves.
Prison impacts everyone, when we stand up and refuse on September 2016, we need to know our
friends, families and allies on the outside will have our backs. This spring and summer will be seasons of
organizing, of spreading the word, building the networks of solidarity and showing that we're serious and
what we're capable of.
Step up, stand up, and join us.
Against prison slavery.
For liberation of all.

How behavioral health training improves inmate wellbeing

Improve inmate wellbeing with behavioral health training
In recent years, there has been a shift in the way inmates are perceived. Instead of merely
providing a place of residence, corrections facilities are progressively being mandated to assist
inmates with behavioral and mental health issues.
Relias has recognized this shift in best practice and is partnering with the National Council for
Behavioral Health, among others, to create courses that will allow your officers to improve the
wellbeing of inmates around them. Access behavioral health courses such as:
Promoting Recovery for Adults with Behavioral Health Needs under Criminal Justice
Supervision
Understanding Mental Health Treatment in the Corrections Setting
Motivational Interviewing for Corrections Professionals
Understanding Addiction: An Overview for Corrections Professionals
Help change an inmate’s life by training staff on both behavioral health and corrections topics.

Questions relating to Narcan/Naloxone:
Q. Who carries Naloxone in Centre County? Also, can families obtain it?
A.
Q. Why is Narcan not more readily available?
A.
Q. Is Naloxone dispensed from the pharmacy by way of a prescription from the PCP, ER doctor,
or psychologist?
A.
Q. While Act 139 has opened the door for significant changes, we are still a far cry from making
them happen. What are the state and local governments doing to encourage first
responders to carry Naloxone? Is there any government “buy in” to help local law
enforcement and emergency response departments shoulder the cost of Naloxone?
Likewise, most local pharmacies do not stock Naloxone and the out‐of‐pocket cost of the
drug is prohibitive for many. Is anything being done to make this life saving tool more
accessible?
A.
Q. Of the 1,500 lives saved by Narcan, how many have been saved more than once?
A.
Legal Questions:
Q. Individuals who are on probation and overdose are protected by the Good Samaritan Law.
Why are there not any legal consequences for using while on probation? What is the
protocol with reporting the overdose incident to probation?
A.
Q. How does law enforcement respond to “tips” regarding drug dealers, drug use, etc.?
A.
Q. When the police are working with a confidential informant that is addicted, do they let them
keep using? After they are done working with the C.I., do they help them get into
treatment?
A.
Q. If a majority or the entire product is imported internationally, is there cooperation between
local and state law enforcement and the DEA/FBI to help cut the supply off in Centre
County?
A.
Q. With a new drug court, what happens to all the men and women who are now incarcerated
for crimes because of heroin addiction – do they have to wait to be released and relapse
then go to a drug court to get the help they need?
A.
Q. Florida has an act called the Marchman Act where parents or family members of an addict
can file for court ordered treatment. Court ordered treatment under the Marchman Act can
last several months. It is similar to the laws for those with mental illness. Can Pennsylvania
adopt such a law?
A.
Questions relating to funding:
Q. How much money has the State dedicated toward funding a detox center in the 2016‐2017
budget?
A.
Random Questions:
Q. Does Centre County have a program called “push out the pusher” like Cambria County has
with Senator John Wozniak’s involvement?
A.
Q. Why does it take an addict to get into trouble with the law before something can be done?
A.
Q. Why does the age of an addict (juvenile/adult) have to interfere with the treatment or
consequences of an addict?
A.
Q. Why is heroin and opiate use so prevalent in Centre County?
A.
Q. Given that reduction in drug use is the goal, what is the relative measure in success in prison
incarceration versus non‐prison counseling or drug court success?
A.
Q. Are there statistics of how many drug overdoses have been seen in the ER, or how many
people have been revived by Narcan then refuse to go to the hospital for treatment?
A.
Q. What are the Probation Department, commissioners, and others present doing to involve
and educate the community?
A.
Q. What are the plans to educate the community as far as the disease concept of addict is
concerned?
A.
Q. Why isn’t the money confiscated from drug busts put towards step down programs, halfway
housing, rehab programs, or for drug rehabilitation?
A.
Q. Why aren’t the Commissioners being more proactive with the communities to create more
drug awareness?
A.
Q. Why is our police force and DEA focusing so much on marijuana and not focusing more on
heroin coming into our area?
A.
Q. If we know now that prescription opiates are no longer recommended for choice pain
management, why are they still being prescribed so much to older adults?
A.
Q. I know someone who is a heroin addict. He abuses anti‐diarrhea medications (Loperamide).
I have been told it is used for heroin withdrawl and it has the same effects and an opiate.
Will there be some sort of way this over‐the‐counter medication will become regulated?
How can this type of abuse be fixed?
A.
Q. I have a concern about former drug addicts not having shelter if they are homeless. For
example, Centre House, a homeless shelter for women will not accept anyone with a history
of drug abuse even if they have been clean for 10 years. Is anything being done to change
this?
A.
Questions about getting involved:
Q. How does one become involved and participate in the HOPE Initiative?
Q. What are some suggestions for ways to help the community in the heroin and opiate crisis?
A.
A.
PREVENTION QUESTIONS:
1. Where do we start in the overprescribing of opioid medications? Does it start with educating
the people of educate prescribers more about pain management, especially in children?
2. Why is there such an emphasis so far in the presentation on HEROIN? This is very misleading.
The issue is OPIATE addiction. At least half of the people addicted to narcotics in Center County
are using prescription pain medications, mostly obtained legally from doctors in the community.
As a medical doctor in this community, I feel that there should be more emphasis on preventing
addiction caused by doctor’s prescribing practices.
3. Why do many doctors, especially in ER settings, tend to give a prescription for pain killers for 30
days when, perhaps, it could be cut to 5 days with a follow up visit scheduled?
4. As a practicing physician, I am aware that prescribing habits have a large and direct impact on
drug abuse and diversion. Part of the prevention needs to educate and re‐educate prescribers,
limit access quantities and type of analgesics that are prescribed. Health care administrators,
physician leaders, insurance companies all need to stand up, take responsibility and change.
5. What kind of instruction are our children receiving in SCASD? Do they view a video like we did?
What are the barriers to educating our children properly in school? I can teach my child but
some parents cannot and this endangers my child.
6. As a representation of a local school district, knowing heroin is not an adolescent issue but more
a concern what do you recommend for prevention at an early age? Education? What is primary
age range of 43 deaths in Center County?
7. Will there be more education passed around to our schools?
8. In terms of prevention, what do “we” do currently? At what age should we be teaching our kids
about the dangers of drugs? What does the research indicate as the best way to educate and
hopefully prevent drug addiction? How can we improve, get the message to more kids?
TREATMENT QUESTIONS:
9. Why is treatment so hard to find? Addicts usually do not have work (income) or medical
insurance.
10. A lot of heroin/drug, alcohol addicts DO NOT have health insurance. Many get medical
assistance. A lot of rehabs do not accept state insurance. How can we change this?
11. Will there be more centers or medical offices opened in Centre County where a heroin addict
can receive vivitrol injections? Why such a shortage of Vivitrol currently if the problem is so
severe?
12. How do we change the mentality that 30 days of rehab from heroin addiction is not long
enough. Heroin addiction cannot be solved in 30 days. Longer rehab time is needed. What can
be done?
13. Is there a movement on a detox here? We send clients counties or even states away and with a
10‐20 day wait time. We desperately need a detox. 10‐20 days is often way too long to wait.
14. As a treatment professional in CC for the past 10years, I keep seeing patients who come from
being over‐prescribed at the same 3 pill mill docs. If the DEA wants to clean things up, why are
these guys still there?
15. Why don’t doctors who prescribe opiates to the elderly (or anyone really) have to tell the
patient that they can get the top tier DUI simply for having the opiate in their bloodstream?
16. ½ way and ¾ way home in our town. We send our kids to the cities. There are no ½ homes in
our area. We have the problem in our area so we should take care of our own in our county.
Why are ther no transition homes in our area?
17. Dr. Tom Frieden of the CDC said that opiates “rewire” the brain. How is this “component” of
drug treatment addressed? (Aside from the physical dependence and etc?) Why are
substitutions the only approach? Suboxone, methadone, do these address what happens to the
brain? Do physicians read the ENTIRE contents of clinical pharmacology of opiate meds or are
some like members of congress who admit to not reading the entire bill and it becomes law?

High
Good Morning All:
We will be meeting tomorrow, Wednesday – August 3, at 3:00 PM in the CCCF Community Room, not the conference
room. I’ve attached a copy of the meeting agenda, which as you can see is quite full. Please RSVP to Eileen at
ebmckinney@centrecountypa.gov to let her know if you will be attending. If you are unable to attend please consider
sending a designee.
I’ve also attached two Word files with questions from the Town Hall Meeting that were not able to be addressed due to a
lack of time. I’d like to form a subcommittee tomorrow to review and possibly consolidate / group those questions into a
more manageable number, and draft answers to bring back to the larger group. We can then post those questions and
answers on the web.
Lastly, most of you should have received an email from Susan Price of the PA Heroin Overdose Prevention Technical
Assistance Center (TAC) announcing that the PA Heroin Overdose Prevention TAC: County Coalition Training will be held
on August 17 from 9:00 to 2:00 in the Community Room of the CCCF. That email also contains registration information
for the training. A coalition from Cambria County will be taking part in the training with us. We will be talking about this at
the meeting tomorrow.
If you have any questions please get back to me.

At the above date and approximate time, CO Bowmaster and I were going to the top tier and as I
was walking up the stairs and saw a note on the steps. After we ?nished the walk around, I picked up
the note. When we returned to the desk we read the note and it talked about getting hit in the face
with the volleyball, and how other inmates do not think that she can handle it. It goes on to state
about being able to see into the other person?s cell and telling the other person to ?put clothes on to
sleep?. When we were waiting for head count to clear Inmate Benjamin kept saying multiple times
?Eck that?s my note!? Then when another inmate asked Benjamin if it was really her she denied it.
While CO Shirk was on the block she had asked inmate Richmond who had gotten hit in the face with
the volleyball and she was told that it was inmate Benjamin. From being in the unit, Inmate Benjamin
has a ?thing? going on with Inmate Shirk and they can see each other from their cells. I noti?ed
Lieutenant Fisher and gave him the notes. CO Bowmaster and I then searched both inmates? cells.
. When we searched Inmate Shirks cell we found a note that seemed to be from Inmate Benjamin

Welcome to our new wellness challenge for 2016!
Because wellness has several different dimensions, we have created this new program to contribute to your
“all over wellness”, or let’s just call it WELLTH!
Your Mission
for the
2016 Wellth Challenge:
Participate in various activities on the enclosed scorecard &
earn points in your WELLTH Account.
Accumulate 260 or more points.
The first 115 WELLTH Accounts to reach
260 or more points will each earn a $100 VISA gift card.
Questions you may have:
How do I begin?
You must sign up with Risk Management. You can call x1126 or email kldavis@centrecountypa.gov.
How much time do I have?
Through Dec 31, 2016 or until 115 gift cards are distributed, whichever comes first.
Who is eligible?
Centre County Government Full time and Part time employees. (No spouses, dependents.)
Can I do an event more than once to keep earning points in that activity?
No. There is a one‐time maximum.
How do I get credit in my Wellth Account for participating?
On the scorecard, in the right hand column, there are directions on how to verify your participation.
With whom do I verify my activities?
Hand in all information to Krista Davis, Risk Management.
How often should I report in to Risk Management?
After each event. Every event will be reviewed and may need further clarification/verification. Once the points are
official, you will receive a follow up email from Risk Management with your Account update.
Why do some events have more points than others?
It takes different levels of commitment and effort to achieve some of these events.
Is there a charge for this?
No, not to enter the challenge. There may be personal costs for participation: ie: buying a book to read or going to a
comedy club, etc.
Why are we doing this?
CCG wants you to know your overall health and wellness matter. This new program offers many choices of wellness
activities. We could all benefit from taking time to participate in these activities. Let’s have fun and be well.
What are my chances of winning a gift card?
CCG has approximately 580 employees. It depends on how quickly you finish the challenge. We anticipate the challenge
to last for months. Risk Management will send out frequent updates via email.
Is there a deadline to sign up?
No. But the early birds may have an advantage on you.
Can I earn points for someone else’s account?
That is generous, but no.
What happens if I already completed an activity earlier in the year?
We will accept verification of Doctor appointments, medical tests, participation in the Personal Nutrition Program, Blood
Donation and Digital Coaching back to January 2016. All other activities need to be completed from the date the
challenge begins.
What happens if I can’t do some of these activities?
There are 41 different activities to allow you a wide choice of activities to complete your point goal.
Can we form teams?
This year it will be an individual challenge.
What happens if I sign up and don’t finish?
Nothing, but we hope you benefitted from the events in which you participated. Please turn in your completed activities
so we know what was chosen for future programming analysis.
What else do I need to know?
This is the first WELLTH program ever. Please have patience we work out kinks.
Lastly, HAVE Fun with this and ENJOY your new found WELLTH.

Wellness, Productivity, and You!
Business Case
for Diversity
D
iversity awareness is
about tolerance and
respect toward others,
despite differences found
among the workforce. And
the business case for diversity is that synergy and greater productivity come with diversity.
To achieve these goals, no employee can be left behind. Beyond making dignity and respect shared values, here’s how you
can help ensure everyone experiences the opportunity to contribute and achieve their maximum potential. 1) When you hear
a different point of view, probe to learn more about it. You will
discover how diversity influences wisdom, problem solving, and
perception, and can produce new insights. 2) Make attempts to
apply knowledge and skills learned from others to your work
problems. 3) Think of diversity as a resource—actively seek
solutions by borrowing skills and perspectives from others.
The “Two-Minute” Rule
D
avid Allen wrote the bestselling book “Getting Things
Done,” and offered a productivity tool called the twominute rule. Try it for five days to
see how it performs for you. The
challenge: Be mindful as you go
about your day, and recognize
how many tasks and chores confront you. Consider how much
time they take. If you estimate any
task will take less than two minutes, do it immediately. Keep a
diary to look back on, and be
amazed at how much you
achieve.

atigue plays a role in many accidents and injuries, so recognizing
its symptoms is important to protect yourself if your job includes risk of
injury. Fatigue is feeling weary and
tired, and lacking in energy. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
is a disorder of relentless fatigue, but more often fatigue results from lifestyle issues like excess physical activity, jet lag,
lack of physical activity, lack of sleep, medications, alcohol
abuse, and unhealthy eating habits. Emotional stress,
trauma, depression, and grief can also trigger bouts of fatigue. A list of fatigue symptoms can be found at
http://www.cdc.gov [search: fatigue symptoms].
Heading Conflicts
Off at
the Pass
F
ollow the “Rule
of Immediacy” in
resolving relationship conflicts.
Quickly, after any
incident, seek a private meeting with your coworker or colleague to discuss comments, issues, or behaviors that concern or offend you. Conflicts are normal and unavoidable in
any work organization, but they do not have to be as harmful
as many people make them. This “keeping the air clear” approach to resolving early-stage conflicts is sound: Most employees want to get along with each other, avoid conflicts,
and know their relationships are successful and tranquil.
“Why didn’t you come to me sooner” is one of the most frequent retorts heard in workplace conflict resolution.

How to Be a
Thought Leader
A
“thought leader” is a person with a reputation for
being an expert and also a
great influencer. Thought leaders
are not talkers. They’re doers
who teach others “how to do it.”
Thought leaders acquire prestige, but the bottom line is their
leadership in helping others and
making contributions to their field. People pay attention to thought leaders because they know the shortcuts to success. If you love what you
do, have what it takes to lead, and are certain others could benefit from
your innovations, find a path to thought leadership. Best ideas: 1) Author a free e-book and distribute it widely. It’s easy. Learn how with
excellent instructions at www.wikihow.com. 2) Consider free seminars
on topics that would attract small groups of peers. Grow from there,
using feedback to hone your ideas. 3) Ask yourself what it is that you
really know well that others do not, and then pursue this niche to become the expert. 4) Find a funnel to channel your expertise so you can
remain visible, such as an association, a community organization, or a
business engaged with the larger community.
Soft Skills to Know:
Accepting Feedback
O
uch—constructive feedback!
You will find plenty of tips on giving feedback so a well-meaning
critique is received and understood,
but less help on how to be a good receiver of feedback or having your reviewer feel welcomed back to offer
more. Accepting feedback is a soft skill
that will elevate your reputation. Employers love employees who receive
feedback well because it helps drive productivity. This makes “the ability to accept feedback” important in many annual reviews. Keys to becoming a feedback dynamo: 1) Remember, no one enjoys constructive
feedback that challenges their predetermined notion of a job well done.
It’s a shocker. So, accept that life includes this reality. 2) Nearly all reviewers experience anxiety associated with giving constructive feedback. Empathy for this role will give you a shot at eliminating defensiveness, set your reviewer at ease, and seal your reputation as having an outstanding ability to accept constructive feedback. 3) Prepare
yourself for constructive feedback by consciously deciding to appear
excited to get it, to discover what you don’t know, to be inquisitive, to
thank the reviewer, and to not dwell on disappointing news.

Back to School Tip:
Create a
Family
Schedule
S
chool will begin
soon. As your family
slowly turns to a new, exciting school year, consider this exercise to establish a schedule by actively
having children participate in creating it so they own
the need for the transition, understand their responsibilities, and feel empowered by the planning experience. With a whiteboard, have a brainstorming session to create a list of tasks and activities to be done
in the morning, at midday (if necessary), and during
the evening, so a “master schedule” can be created.
Spend 20-30 minutes collecting ideas—all ideas are
welcome. Suggest times for waking up, going to bed,
departing for school, arrival at home, chores, extracurricular activities, breakfast, packing lunches, making
beds, brushing teeth, feeding and walking pets, laying
out clothes, bathroom schedules, etc. After sufficient
time, create the schedule and plug all the information
into it. Everyone gets a copy. Bonus: Your children will
learn about brainstorming and its value years before
being taught it in school.
Making Work-Life
Balance Work
E
veryone wants
work-life balance,
but most struggle
with it. Some of this is
natural, because worklife balance is a moving
target that requires constant tweaking. Here are
some tips for success.
First, define what “work success” means to you.
Really pin this one down—do you want to become
vice president in five years, or is becoming the recognized expert in widget design your goal? These definitions of success are different and require different
work-life achievement strategies. Once your worksuccess definition is clarified, you can discuss worklife balance action steps with those you love. This
clarity and team effort will reduce your frustration in
seeking work-life balance and help you formulate
with awareness the life you want to live.

Tips for Managing Stress in
Customer Service
C
ustomer service professionals usually receive satisfaction from helping
their customers. This is at the heart of what makes for customer service
excellence—delivering a satisfying experience and feeling happy to do
so.
But there’s a catch. You can’t deliver a consistently pleasing customer service
experience unless you take care of yourself by understanding how to manage
customer service stress. Doing so will help you enjoy your job more and establish a better relationship with your employer.
Most workers experience angry, rude, and sometimes even abusive customers
from time to time. Learning proven customer service skills, like how to defuse
conflict and perform self-care, can help increase your job satisfaction, reduce
stress, and help you end your day feeling less shell-shocked. If this sounds good
to you, let’s dive into some solid information you can use.
you are harried and frustrated with
coworkers, or pressured and have too
many orders, resist using your
customer as the scapegoat to cope
with stress. Feeling ignored creates
more customer stress by far than the
act of waiting.
Customer service nuts and bolts
The most successful customer service
professionals are aware of several basic
tenets that help keep customers happy,
even when these patrons aren’t thrilled
with the product or service. Here are
several basic tips to help you provide topnotch customer service and reduce stress.
“one” with your customer’s desire
to pursue a satisfactory outcome.
On a “bad day,” stay focused on the
positive experiences you have had
with customers in the past rather
than dwell on the negative ones.
Use cheerfulness as a strategy to
affect a customer’s attitude. Here’s
how: Focus on what you’re
passionate about in your customer
service job. Practice sharing or
expressing this passion as you
interact with customers. If you carry
grocery bags to a customer’s car and
the benefit is reducing customer
stress, focus on how this relief
benefits the customer. Link this fact
to your desire to find happiness in
the role you play. This is a key
strategy to discovering more
meaning in any job.
Notice how these tips include courtesy,
common sense, the golden rule, and a
little bit of self-awareness:
Remember, you will work with many
customers only once. This fact alone
should prompt an initial positive
demeanor or tempering of your
reaction to a difficult customer’s
behavior.
Know your product. Above all,
customers appreciate customer
service professionals who can give
them the correct information they
need the first time.
If a customer has a bad attitude,
rarely is this because of you,
personally. Typically, the company
itself is where their dissatisfaction
lies. The intervention is to listen
closely to determine the fix. Become
Develop a “sixth sense” for when a
question or a stressful situation will
require a supervisor’s help. If you
suppress this feeling of needing help,
pressure and stress will mount, and it
will accumulate to create burnout.
Purposely avoiding customers, not
calling them back, or failing to
research their needs are “red alert
signals” that you need support, the
employee assistance program, or
new coping strategies. Seek this help
if and when you notice these
behaviors.
Consider the above stress
management strategies and how they
can apply to coworkers, family
members, and loved ones.
If you work in a storefront or
service desk, acknowledge
customers waiting for help. Many
don’t mind waiting as long as they
know you’re aware of their need.
Use the second it takes to check in
with them if that wait lingers on. If

Many employees are taking care of elderly parents while managing
their households and
parenting their own children. I think some of
these workers are at risk
for burnout, or at least
for being unproductive
at some point. How can
managers play a role in
helping these workers?
In a few cases when I have
referred employees to the
EAP, they’ve refused to go
after I’ve mentioned that I
need them to sign a release
of information. It’s a catch22. I need to know if they
actually go, but asking for a
release loses the referral.
What’s the fix?
My employee fell off the
loading dock and was injured while involved in
horseplay. A gesture from a
Compassion fatigue describes the type of burnout often experienced by
caregivers. Additionally, the “Sandwich Generation” describes those
adults faced with responsibilities for their children while also ministering
to the needs of elderly parent(s). Like nurses who may experience burnout that contributes to less-effective patient care, absenteeism, and employee turnover, these employees may pose similar risks to employers.
Realize that caregivers may not notice the level of stress they are truly
under until symptoms like health problems appear. For burnout, these
could include dozens of maladies and complaints—headaches, lowered
resiliency, interpersonal conflicts, cynicism, irritability, low energy,
more frequent colds, or blaming the employer for not appreciating his or
her contributions. It can be a highly mixed bag of issues. When you witness productivity drop-offs among employees, refer early to the EAP.
Scheduling flexibility may offer valuable help for employee caregivers,
but a lot of accommodating can be difficult for employers.
Although an employee must sign a release of information if you are to
learn of his or her participation in the EAP, you admittedly are not
equipped to explain confidentiality laws, the purpose of a release, its restrictions, and why it is a good idea. Any of these concerns may surface
at its mention. Unless you are authoring a last-chance or firm-choice
agreement where obligations are spelled out, the solution is to say, “Can
you please give permission to the EAP to let me know that you kept the
appointment?” This approach is less threatening. It also better protects
the perception of EAP confidentiality. EA professionals are experienced
at explaining the purpose of a release so employees see its value as a
way for the EAP to effectively communicate appropriate information to
the supervisor. This reduces anxiety, which keeps clients focused on getting help.
There may be occasions when a supervisor would like to refer an employee to the EAP for a personal problem based on a hunch or unverified tip. Without clear documentation of a performance issue or a clear
rationale for the referral (such as a positive drug test), however, such
action would only hurt the EAP by decreasing its value as a program of

evidence, but how can I
make an EAP referral to
evaluate whether a drug
use issue exists?
Beyond respect and tolerance, how can I help employees see the value of
diversity and use it as a
resource to support work
goals and the organization’s mission?

might I encounter early

attraction. Some employers refer employees to the EAP for help with coming
back to work after an injury, or when a conduct problem has repeated itself
too often. A workers’ compensation doctor might spot a drug use issue in the
course of treatment and refer to the EAP. However, beyond these few paths of
discovery, the ability to refer is limited. Note that EAPs always keep in mind
the possibility that an alcohol or drug problem exists within the context of any
type of initial complaint. The EAP field’s beginning is rooted in this underlying principle.
Your question relates to the business case for diversity. Modeling the behaviors
you want employees to follow is the way to accomplish your goal. Demonstrate inclusiveness when formulating teams and delegating assignments to
communicate that everyone within the work unit has value. Believe that a
diverse group of workers has the potential to find better solutions to problems to show how diversity can be a tool for increased productivity. When
someone not of the dominant group expresses an idea, ask lots of questions
to show how learning and discovery are enabled by diversity. Spot ways in
which diversity is not yet fully utilized in your work unit and seek ways to
make it happen. Don’t be a bystander to inappropriate comments associated
with diversity. Challenge statements that undermine inclusiveness and respect. Be mindful of your own biases, and avoid statements that generalize
characteristics to specific groups of employees.
Becoming a manager can be exciting, but be sure you understand your role and
responsibilities. Have this discussion and nail down the details early. This
will prevent many problems you would otherwise face from overlooking important aspects of your job. Be prepared for difficult challenges that lead you
to question your ability to do the job. This is normal. If your employees are
performing well, do not see this as a signal to ignore them until they need
you. Be proactive and engage with them regularly. The supervisory role includes influence projected by your knowledge and abilities, and leverage
naturally linked to your authority. Both dynamics influence employee productivity. The EAP can help you with time and stress management; tips on
organizing work; consulting on how to manage difficult employees and how
to coach; education on conflict resolution and managing teams; support
when faced with tough decisions like terminating an employee; and, counseling to help you avoid burnout.
Our EAP is more than just counseling! If your employees are experiencing
life problems and aren’t sure where to turn for information or advice, our
Client Solutions Specialists can help to point them in the right direction.
These resources include (but aren’t limited to): Elder Care concerns, financial issues, legal questions, housing concerns, support groups, and more!

NRA LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES DIVISION
FIREARM INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT SCHOOLS
OVERVIEW
NRA Law Enforcement Firearm Instructor Development Schools develop and enhance both instructor
skills and firearm handling skills of all students so they can effectively teach their officers to win lethal
encounters. These schools are intended for public and private law enforcement officers and military
personnel who are currently assigned, or about to be assigned, duties as law enforcement firearm
instructors.
The curriculum is designed to prepare students to develop and conduct safe, effective, reality-based and
agency-related firearm training. Classroom instruction and practical exercises on the range provide a
model for students to use in building their own agency programs. In addition, the school will enhance
each student's firearm knowledge and handling skills. All classes and range exercises are conducted at the
instructor level, with students conducting many of the range exercises to gain experience. Students are
exposed to a wide variety of shooting techniques, training methods, and tactical philosophies, which
allows them to choose what best serves their students.
Each of our Instructor Development Schools consists of a minimum of forty-four (44) contact hours
during a five (5) day school. “Contact hours” refers to actual instructional time in the classroom and on
the range, and does not include travel time between the lodging and training site, meal times, or range
clean-up. Classes will be conducted from approximately 0730 to 1800 Monday, and 0800 to 1730 hours,
Tuesday through Friday, plus one late night to accommodate reduced light shooting. 100% attendance and
participation is MANDATORY for successful school completion. Students must demonstrate teaching
and shooting proficiency and pass a written examination in all of the schools.
INSTRUCTOR SCHOOL DISCIPLINE
Handgun/Shotgun Instructor – This school compresses the handgun instructor school to 3 ½ days and
adds a day and a half of shotgun instructor training. Concealed-carry considerations, and unconventional
shooting positions blocks of instruction are replaced with shotgun marksmanship and handling classroom
presentations and range work. Shotgun drills include firing from cover, use of kneeling and prone
positions, moving targets, malfunction clearing, firing on the move, and transitioning to the handgun.
Tuition – Tuition for each Instructor Development School is $595 per student, payable by check, credit
card, or purchase order to the NRA prior to the school. In addition, the hosting agency may charge a
“range fee” to cover cardboard, staples, coffee, snacks and other out-of-pocket expenses, payable directly
to the host on site. Range fees generally vary from $25-$50 but may be higher.
Note: Tuition may be tax deductible for education expenses -U.S. Citizens: Treasury Regulation 1.162.5 permits an income tax
deduction for educational expenses (registration fees, cost of travel, meals and lodging) undertaken to maintain or improve skills
required for one's employment or other trade or business.
2
STUDENT PREREQUISITES
Students must first meet the eligibility requirements below before attending any of our schools. In
addition, students must have a good working knowledge of the firearms used and the capability to safely
and accurately operate them prior to attending any NRA school. Without this basic background, students
will find it difficult to keep pace with the instruction, practical exercises, and successfully complete the
proficiency assessments. Students who are not able to demonstrate proficiency in the operation of their
firearms or who commit unsafe acts will be dropped from the school.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Certain eligibility requirements must be met PRIOR to attending any NRA Law Enforcement Firearm
Instructor school. Application to attend must be made on the proper forms to NRA headquarters and

5 Snacks that are OK to eat at night
By Mike Roussell (adapted)
Eating past 8 p.m. has gotten a bad rap. In reality, the reason you may have gained (or not been able to
lose) weight probably has more to do with what you are eating and how much you are eating rather than
the time of day you are eating. Eating at night, if done healthfully, can offer some surprising benefits.
Eating the right protein at night can help you build muscle while you sleep. Eating low‐glycemic carbs at
night can help control your blood sugar the next day and even help you regulate your appetite. Here are 5
snacks that are OK to eat at night. Some are not‐so‐guilty pleasures, some are great snacks to have after a
light dinner and others make fantastic post‐workout snacks (for those of you who work out at night).
Coconut‐Mango Cream
Who doesn’t like cold and creamy desserts? Unfortunately, most of the standard store‐bought frozen
desserts are packed with calories and sugar. Here is a simple dessert that uses frozen mango and coconut
milk to make a dish your friends will rave about.
Ingredients
1 cup Frozen Mango Chunks
1/3 cup Coconut Milk
2 scoop Protein Powder
Directions
1. In a blender, add the frozen mango, coconut milk, and protein powder.
2. Blend until pudding consistency. You can add water as necessary to achieve desired consistency.
1
Dark Chocolate
Chocolate is often seen as a forbidden food ‐‐ but not all chocolate is created equal. There is a big
nutritional difference between your average convenience‐store chocolate candy and cacao‐rich dark
chocolate. The dark chocolate lacks the high added sugar content of traditional chocolate and instead
provides you an antioxidant punch that has been shown to lower blood pressure, improve insulin
sensitivity, fight inflammation and improve your mood. Next time you need to wind down at night, have an
ounce of your favorite dark chocolate (70 percent cacao or greater).
Strawberry‐Banana “Ice Cream”
Ice cream is a great late‐night treat, but with half a cup packing almost 200 calories, this treat becomes off‐
limits fast. A great alternative to traditional ice cream is to make it with frozen bananas. Mashed frozen
bananas provide an ice‐cream‐like consistency without the added sugars, fat and calories. Here’s the
simple recipe: Slice up two very ripe bananas and one cup of strawberries. Place them in the freezer until
frozen. Once frozen, blend the strawberries and bananas in a food processor on high until an ice‐cream
consistency is achieved. Voila!
Pistachios
2
Pistachios in the shell are an excellent nighttime snack because the shelling process requires some work,
consequently slowing down how fast you can eat them. The slower you eat, the less you will consume.
Another bonus with pistachios is that you get to eat more nuts per ounce (49 nuts) than any other nut. The
combination of getting to eat more and having to eat them slower makes pistachios one of the best
options. In addition, nuts come with a unique nutritional package because they contain fiber, biotin,
vitamin B6, thiamin, folate, unsaturated fats and plant sterols, all of which makes them highly nutritious as
well as satisfying.
Raspberry Greek Yogurt Pops
Popsicles are a simple after‐dinner snack, but if you buy them at the grocery store they’re essentially sugar
and food dye. With this simple recipe for frozen Greek yogurt pops, you can do much better; it’s a
nutritional treat with minimal prep. Greek yogurt is regular yogurt’s nutritionally superior sibling, with
typically double the protein and half the carbs per serving. To make frozen Greek yogurt pops, mash three‐
quarters of a cup of raspberries in two cups of 2% plain Greek yogurt. Portion this mixture into popsicle
molds and place in the freezer for several hours until completely frozen.

Governor Wolf Signs “Interagency Information Sharing” Bill Into Law
Governor Wolf signed Senate Bill 917 (1922) into law, as Act 78 of 2016, on July 8, 2016. Act 78 adds a new
§6352.2 (related to interagency information sharing) to the Juvenile Act to create a process for court-approved
interagency information-sharing agreements.
Act 78 provides that interagency information-sharing agreements may be developed in each county among the
county children and youth agency, juvenile probation department, local law enforcement agencies, mental health
agencies, drug and alcohol agencies, local school districts, and other agencies and entities as deemed appropriate to enhance the coordination of case management services and the supervision of children who have been
accepted for service by a county children and youth agency or who are being supervised by a juvenile probation
department. Any agreement must be signed by the chief executive officers of the aforementioned entities, as
well as the public defender’s office and guardian ad litem in each county, and must be submitted to the court for
approval.
All information-sharing agreements must provide that information will be shared under current state statutes,
and whenever possible, the preferred method for obtaining authorization to share confidential information will
be upon the written, informed consent of the person authorized to consent to the release of information under
current applicable law after that person has been provided with a full understanding of the circumstances under
which and with whom the information will be shared. Act 78 becomes effective on September 6, 2016.
Governor Wolf Proclaims Juvenile Justice Week
October 2-8, 2016
Governor Tom Wolf proclaimed the week of October 2 – October 8, 2016
as Juvenile Justice Week in Pennsylvania. Juvenile probation departments
across the Commonwealth are encouraged to utilize Juvenile Justice Week
as an opportunity to engage the public about the mission and outcomes of
Pennsylvania’s juvenile justice system.
The proclamation notes that Pennsylvania’s juvenile justice system is
charged with “providing programs of supervision, care, and rehabilitation,
as well as providing balanced attention to the protection of our communities, the imposition of accountability for offenses committed by juveniles,
and the development of competencies to enable children within the jurisdiction of the juvenile justice system to become responsible and productive
members of their communities”.
We encourage Chief Juvenile Probation Officers to send media accounts
of local Juvenile Justice Week activities to jcjcnews@ship.edu for publication in a special section celebrating Pennsylvania Juvenile Justice
week. Please have all entries submitted by October 14, 2016.

Cumberland County Juvenile Probation Quality Assurance
Cumberland County Juvenile Probation has been quietly enhancing practices and services through quality assurance within their department over the last several years. Chief Probation Officer Sam Miller recognized the need
to have an identified probation officer dedicated to collection of data and the examination of trends of their juvenile
population in order to make better informed decisions towards improvements of the juvenile justice system within
Cumberland County. Rob Swanger has been that probation officer, diligently collecting information to examine
the impact that the department is having on the juveniles that come through their doors. Rob initially started in
his quality assurance role back in 2009 by working on a project related to the YLS and recidivism. This project has
been an accumulation of years of YLS and recidivism data and examining, to date, over 152 variables at the time
of case closure. This ongoing analysis has allowed for the department to find trends within various risk levels and
domains of juvenile offenders and how that translates into future recidivism. As this project continues, Cumberland County hopes to be able to identify key risk factors and patterns within their juvenile population that leads to
recidivism and provides interventions and supports that can disrupt the likelihood of re-offending. To date, Cumberland County has been able to track and evaluate over 2,000 juveniles. Rob is also a Master Trainer for the YLS
and maintains a small caseload to stay fresh with departmental practices.
In addition to Rob and his role with the YLS and recidivism, the Cumberland County Juvenile Probation Supervisors have also played a major role in the quality assurances practices within the department. Dennis Drachbar,
Andy Benner, and Scott Shea play a vital role in the success of the department. Engaging in case reviews after
every intake, methodical case reviews that include discussions around the YLS and case planning, and utilizing the
reports in JCMS have allowed the supervisors to create a culture within the department that stresses using the information that has been collected to make the best decisions possible for the juveniles they supervise. The completion of their case closure form that collects the 152 variables is also an essential practice that allows the department
to gather information that can help make future decisions for programming/services, risk reduction practices, and
even those practices to avoid that have not been successful.
Cumberland County has also started to gather information on service provider outcomes, including evaluating services that their department operates. As Cumberland County continues to run cognitive behavioral groups through
the NCTI Crossroads Curricula, the data collected from the pre and post-tests are examined, along with the YLS
risk level/domain scores and any recidivism. Rob and the supervisors are hoping to continue to expand their evaluation of the services provided to the juveniles in their county moving forward.
Attention Facilitators of the
Victim/Community Awareness Curriculum
Spanish Translation Available for the “Victim Community Awareness: An Impact of Crime Curriculum
for Juvenile Offenders ”
Lehigh County Juvenile Probation has translated into Spanish the participant handouts of the “Victim/Community Awareness: An Impact of Crime Curriculum for Juvenile Offenders”. The translation of the role-plays
and handouts for the youth who are participating in the class cover the three sections of the group session from
pre-test to post-test. These materials enhance the ability of probation officers and providers to facilitate group
sessions with Spanish-speaking juvenile offenders. Funding for this project was provided by The Pennsylvania
Commission on Crime and Delinquency Disproportionate Minority Grant. To obtain copies of the Spanish
translation of the participant handouts for the “Victim/Community Awareness: An Impact of Crime Curriculum for Juvenile Offenders”, through The Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission, Center for Juvenile Justice Training & Research, please contact: Monica Iskric, at 717-477-1709 or email: msiskr@ship.edu

Juvenile Justice VOJO Survey: Preliminary Results
The Victims’ Services Committee of the PA Council of Chief Juvenile Probation Officers and the Office of Victims’
Services staff from PCCD have been working together to assess and to more specifically define the provision of
services in local county VOJO programs. A survey assessing the specific services of the VOJO program in every
county was sent to each chief juvenile probation officer with a return of 67/67 counties reporting. The survey questions were based on the rights outlined in the Crime
Victims Act , the Rules of Delinquency Procedure and
an inquiry of service gaps, barriers and needs of victims
The survey data also provided important informaof juvenile offenders, as well as an assessment of juvenile

The preliminary analysis of the survey reveals there is a
results:
wide variety of operational structures for the provision
1. The top five crime victims in communities for
of services to victims of juvenile offenders throughout
which services are limited or not available:
the Commonwealth. The top type(s) of training related
• Immigrants/Refugees
to understanding victimization which would be helpful
• LGBTQ
to CJPO’s and their staff were reported as follows:
• Individuals with disabilities (Cognitively
or Physically)
• Individuals in rural areas
• Hispanics/Latinos
• Understanding how trauma impacts victims and
their sense of physical, emotional and psychological
safety
• Understanding victim rights
• Understanding available services/resources
• Understanding victimization - generally
2. The top five needs of crime victims in communities that are NOT currently being adequately
met:
• Transportation (assistance to attend court
hearings and appointments related to
victimization)
• Emergency Housing/Shelter
• Safety planning (addressing physical and
emotional safety of victim)
• Counseling and support (Mental health
services, counseling, therapy, support
groups)
• Financial losses as a result of crime
(medical, funeral, loss of earnings, etc.)
Additionally, a primary VOJO contact person for each
county has been identified and has subsequently been
added to the Juvenile Court Directory published annually by the Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission (JCJC).
The Victims’ Services Committee of the PA Council
of Chief Juvenile Probation Officers, in collaboration
with the Office of Victims’ Services in the Pennsylvania
Commission on Crime and Delinquency, will continue
to analyze these survey results to provide information
regarding the services and needs related to the VOJO
programs in the Commonwealth.
3. The top three barriers in communities for
crime victims in seeking services to address
their victimization:
The next step in this process will be individual reviews
of randomly selected county VOJO programs to further
analyze the individual county responses and the embedded comments within the survey responses. Also, additional training sessions which will meet the reported
needs of juvenile justice professionals will be developed
in the near future.
• Transportation to access services
• Knowledge of services available
• Lack of trust in the system/agencies
that will respond

Juvenile Justice System Enhancement Strategy
Evidence-Based Practices Implementation:
Results from the 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 Statewide Surveys
Beginning in 2012, juvenile probation departments in Pennsylvania have been asked to complete an Evidence-Based
Practices (EBP) Implementation survey. This survey was designed to provide stakeholders with the capacity to
examine implementation progress of evidence-based practices and the Juvenile Justice System Enhancement Strategy (JJSES) across the Commonwealth, on both a county-specific and statewide aggregate level. A full report has
been compiled to provide a synopsis of the responses from each of the four surveys and will be forthcoming on the
Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission’s website. The following is a snapshot of some of the major findings from this
report. This information helps to chronicle the incredible progress that has been made to further the implementation of evidence-based practices and evidence-based programming throughout the Commonwealth, particularly
between 2012 and 2015. This progress has not only changed the vernacular of juvenile justice professionals, it has
also transformed the way they “do business”. Indeed, juvenile probation officers are no longer just “enforcers of the
law”. Rather, they have become “agents of change”. All of this has been accomplished thanks to the dedication of
all stakeholders involved: from statewide leadership, to county-level champions, to those on the front line working
directly with youth. Remarkable progress has been made, and the lives of juvenile offenders, their families, victims,
and communities have been improved.

In 2015, the majority of juvenile probation departments reported that most stakeholder groups identified were
actively engaged in their JJSES activities. The most actively involved stakeholders were probation officers (n= 65),
judges (n= 42), service providers (n= 40), victim advocates (n= 26), and district attorneys (n= 25).

Summary of Key Findings: Stage 2
In 2015, the majority of juvenile probation departments (n= 57; 86%) reported that they have developed a department-specific service matrix corresponding to identified risk levels or were in the process of doing so. In 2012, only
64% (n= 43) of juvenile probation departments reported such.
In 2015, sixty-four (97%) juvenile probation departments reported that they utilize the results of the YLS to assist
in developing dispositional recommendations. In 2013, only fifty-two (79%) juvenile probation departments reported doing so.
In 2015, fifty-five (82%) juvenile probation departments reported developing a formal case plan that identifies services and activities for juveniles and their families in some or the majority of cases. In 2012, only forty-nine (73%)
reported such. Furthermore, fifty-two (78%) departments reported that they use the results of the YLS in their
case plans, up from thirty-three (49%) in 2012.
In 2015, sixty-four juvenile probation departments reported that either the majority or some of their staff had
received Motivational Interviewing training. This means that over 95% of juvenile probation departments in Pennsylvania have had some exposure to Motivational Interviewing. This is an increase from thirty-three (49%) juvenile
probation departments in 2012.
Approximately half (n= 35) of juvenile probation departments reported in 2015 that they have trained Motivational
Interviewing “coaches” or other similar staff positions who are responsible for the training and quality assurance
practices within their departments or were in the process of training such. Across Pennsylvania, there were 130
individuals who had been identified as Motivational Interviewing “coaches,” according to the 2015 EBP Implementation Survey.

Advancing Balanced and Restorative Justice
Through the Juvenile Justice System
Enhancement Strategy
In 2015, the Juvenile Justice System Enhancement Strategy (JJSES) Leadership Team, along with assistance from Mark Carey developed the monograph “Advancing Balanced and Restorative Justice through Pennsylvania’s Juvenile Justice System Enhancement Strategy.” The monograph was introduced at
the 2015 James E. Anderson Conference on Juvenile Justice in connection
with Pennsylvania’s commemoration of 20 years of balanced and restorative
justice (BARJ). At that time, copies of the monograph were distributed to
each conference participant.
For two decades, Pennsylvania’s juvenile justice system has aspired to
achieve the mission of BARJ by advancing the goals of community protection, accountability, and competency development. Following years of
steady progress toward these goals, the Pennsylvania juvenile justice system
challenged itself to incorporate evidence-based practices.
In 2010, Pennsylvania formalized its intentions to apply science to every
stage of the juvenile justice process through the initiation of the JJSES.
Equipped with a robust body of research on “what works” to reduce recidivism, juvenile probation departments – small and large, rural and urban, as
well as service providers and other key system stakeholders, have been retooling their operations to improve outcomes under the rubric of the JJSES.
There is no doubt that the JJSES has produced a paradigm shift in how we
conduct business in Pennsylvania. Our sights remain firmly fixed on our
goals of balanced and restorative justice, but our path forward has been
forever altered by our JJSES. This monograph seeks to explore the unique
interrelationship between JJSES and BARJ.
Recently, the JJSES Leadership Team, with funds from the Pennsylvania
Commission on Crime and Delinquency, purchased printed copies to support the distribution of a copy of the monograph to every juvenile probation
officer in the state. Efforts to distribute monographs to all juvenile probation officers are currently underway.
“The JJSES is a means
to an end – a means to
achieving our statutory
mission of Balanced and
Restorative Justice. We
have done good work,
but we need to challenge
ourselves to do more.”
-- Former Executive Director
of the Juvenile Court Judges’
Commission, Keith Snyder

UPCOMING EVENTS
WORKSHOPS TO WATCH FOR...
We are still adding workshops to our schedule and currently working on getting the
final details of the following 2 workshops... Be sure to check www.jcjcjems.state.
pa.us for more details on them, as well as registration once released. They are sure to
be full of valuable information.
“HOW TO” FACILITATE RESTORATIVE GROUP CONFERENCES
This “how–to” training is intended to provide the participant with the knowledge and skills to facilitate a restorative group conference. A Restorative Group
Conference (also called a Community Group Conference, a Community Accountability Conference or a Family Group Conference) is a non-adversarial,
community-based restorative justice intervention that is receiving widespread
attention throughout the United States, as well as internationally. Based on
restorative justice values and meaningful accountability, it is a voluntary process
that seeks to identify and repair harm by providing an opportunity for a face-toface dialogue between those harmed and those who cause the harm.
CROSSING BRIDGES:
AN INTRODUCTION TO RESTORATIVE PRACTICES
This training session will expose you to the strengths and differences of the
various restorative practice models and help you to increase the accountability
outcomes for youth, increase victim satisfaction, provide opportunities for the involvement of families and community members and provide additional tools for
your toolbox. You will learn what these practices look like and better understand
how these practices reflect the JJSES.
HEROIN AND OTHER OPIATES WORKSHOP TO BE FEATURED AT
PITT - BRADFORD CAMPUS
Did you know that between 2007 and 2012 heroin use doubled in the United
States? Today we have an estimated 1.2 million heroin users in the U.S., with
half of young people who have used heroin reporting prescription pain killer
(opioids) abuse prior to starting their heroin use.
On August 11, 2016, on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh - Bradford,
Dr. Paul Martin will lead an in-depth discussion on heroin and other commonly
abused opioids, drug dependence, drug tolerance, and drug half-life. Additionally,
he will discuss who gets addicted and how heroin and other opioids get into the
community and workplace. Common signs of abuse, addiction, and withdrawal,
along with treatment options (including narcan) will also be outlined.

Case Plan Forum Planned
September 15, 2016 - Days Inn, State College
Given its utility to the application of evidence-based practices, case planning is a critical component of Pennsylvania’s Juvenile Justice System Enhancement Strategy. Effective case planning is gaining empirical support as an
effective model for use with youthful offenders in bringing about long term behavioral change and reducing risk to
recidivate (Lipsey, 2009).
The case plan is the blueprint for the youth while under the Court’s supervision. More specifically, case plans are
written documents that articulate goals and activities that are to be completed during a period of a youthful offender’s supervision. The goals and activities outlined in a youth’s case plan are the result of a collaborative process
aimed at linking criminogenic needs to goals and activities aimed at producing long-term positive behavior change.
On September 15th, the Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission and PA Council of Chief Juvenile Probation Officers
are sponsoring a Case Plan Forum. The forum will focus on the discussion of practical strategies for the implementation and use of a case plan in a juvenile probation department. This workshop is specifically for chiefs, deputy
chiefs, and key staff responsible for implementing the case plan within their department.
This workshop will explore the current statewide efforts to support the development and implementation of effective case planning. Participants will discuss the current research supporting the practice of case planning, case plan
policy development, effective case plan skills, and training related to case planning. The workshop will also discuss
various tools and state level support available to counties including the Chiefs Council’s Assessment/Case Plan
Committee, the Case Plan Handbook, the Field Base Case Plan, and training.
Registration for this workshop is now available through the JCJC Event Management System (JEMS) and is only
available to chiefs, deputy chiefs and county case plan coordinators.

REGISTRATION OPEN, WORKSHOP PROPOSALS SOUGHT
FOR NATIONAL DMC CONFERENCE
UNITED STATES, MEXICO, AND CANADA STRENGTHEN
AMBER ALERT TIES AT TRINATIONAL FORUM
On December 4-6,
2016, the Coalition
for Juvenile Justice
(CJJ) will host the
2016 CJJ National
DMC Conference in
Baltimore, MD.
This conference
will focus on
disproportionate minority contact (DMC) in the juvenile
justice system. The Maryland State Advisory Group will
cohost this event, “Confronting the Crisis: Creating
Pathways to a More Equitable Juvenile Justice System,”
which will address ways state advisory groups, young people
and their communities, law enforcement, and court officials
can work together to combat racial and ethnic disparities.
Sessions will explore what other communities can learn
from Baltimore; the role of state and local entities; how
communities can take action; and the importance of youth
engagement.
CJJ is seeking proposals for workshops to be held on
December 5-6, 2016.

Register for the conference. Early bird discount by August 1,
2016.
The Department of Justice’s Office
of Prosecutorial Development,
Assistance and Training and
Mexico’s Office of the Attorney
General recently sponsored a
Trinational Forum in Mexico City.
The event brought together AMBER Alert Coordinators
from Mexico, the United States, and Canada to discuss ways
the three countries can better respond to potential crossborder cases of missing children. In her remarks at the recent
National Missing Children’s Day ceremony in Washington,
DC, Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch said, “I am proud
to say that our Department of Justice has collaborated with
the Attorney General of Mexico on the development of
Mexico’s AMBER Alert System, which has already resulted
in the rescue of hundreds of Mexican children.” Since 2012,
AMBER Alert has led to the rescue of more than 350
children in Mexico.

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS NATIONAL FORUM ON YOUTH
VIOLENCE PREVENTION
View the draft agenda.
The Research and Evaluation Center
at John Jay College, supported
by OJJDP, has released “Durable
Collaborations: The National Forum
on Youth Violence Prevention.”
This report is based on a survey of
community leaders in the 15 cities
participating in the National Forum
on Youth Violence Prevention on
their perceptions and attitudes about
youth violence prevention. The report highlights their belief
that the Forum develops greater opportunities for youth,
more effective violence prevention approaches, improved
perceptions of law enforcement, and a broader engagement of
community members.
MORE THAN 1,300 SUSPECTED CHILD PREDATORS
ARRESTED DURING OPERATION BROKEN HEART
The Department of Justice has announced that the recently
concluded Operation Broken Heart III led to the arrest of
more than 1,300 suspected child predators. This operation
was conducted during April and May 2016 by the OJJDPfunded Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task
Forces as a coordinated investigation to identify and arrest
suspected child sexual predators. OJJDP launched the ICAC
Task Force Program in 1998 to help federal, state, and
local law enforcement agencies enhance their investigative
responses to individuals who use the Internet, online
communication systems, or computer technology to exploit
children.

OJJDP RELEASES DATA FROM CAUSES AND CORRELATES
PROJECT
OJJDP has released data for secondary analysis from its
Program of Research on the Causes and Correlates of
Delinquency. OJJDP launched the Causes and Correlates
project in 1986 to learn more about the root causes of juvenile
delinquency and other problem behaviors. Three coordinated
longitudinal studies constitute the program: Denver Youth
Survey, Pittsburgh Youth Study, and Rochester Youth
Development Study. In each project, researchers conducted
face-to-face interviews with at-risk youth. In addition,
the data collection involved interviews with the primary
caretaker and, in two sites, school teachers. Researchers also
collected administrative data from official agencies, including
police, schools, and social services.

Researchers interested in learning more about this project
and how to access data from the National Archive of
Criminal Justice Data may visit the Interuniversity
Consortium for Political and Social Research.
FUNDING AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT CHILDREN OF

DOJ, HUD AWARD GRANTS TO SUPPORT JUVENILE
REENTRY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) have made
available approximately $1.75 million in grants for the
Juvenile Reentry Assistance Program. The grants, funded
through DOJ’s Second Chance Act funds, will reduce
barriers to public housing, employment, and education
for justice-involved youth who are transitioning to
the community. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and
HUD Secretary Julián Castro announced the Juvenile
Reentry Assistance Program grantees—18 public housing
authorities—during National Reentry Week in April 2016.
The program is a response to recommendations from the
President’s My Brother’s Keeper Task Force and the White
House Legal Aid Interagency Roundtable.

ice cream sales
We will again be selling ice cream. Friday 8‐5 we will be delivering the order sheets from the past that we have been
holding. Order sheets can again be put out on the blocks for the inmates to order ice cream. The sheets should be
turned in Sunday night ( the first new order sheets should be turned in 8‐7 for 8‐12 delivery) so Brenda can process
them. The order sheets have not changed. It is the same flavors.
