By temporarily relocating inmates in need of radiation treatment to a single prison facility, Gov. Tom
Wolfs of?ce said Monday that was able to shave about a half?million dollars off of its
corrections spending, which currently totals upwards of $2 billion annually.
The state?s Department of Corrections last year began consolidating people requiring radiation
therapy at the State Correctional Institution at Somerset. In doing so, the department says it cut down
costs incurred by moving people from facility-to-facility in order to provide the treatment.
his consolidation of inmates uses DOC resources, speci?cally transportation of?cers and vehicles,
more ef?ciently,? Corrections Secretary John Wetzel said in a statement Monday.
Wetzel said that over the course of a year the state realized $528,600 in net savings by getting
inmates in need of the cancer treatment under one roof.
That amount is about 0.02 percent of the overall Department of Corrections budget, which totals
around $2.2 billion for the ?scal year that will end on June 30. For that time period, the corrections
department has roughly $258 million allocated for medical care.
Between April 2015 and last month, 491 inmates at Somerset have received radiation treatment.
Those requiring the therapy are transferred to the prison from other correctional facilities around the
state and are treated on an outpatient basis at a local hospital.
Some trips to get inmates to medical facilities where they could receive radiation treatment had
previously averaged over four hours, according to the governor's of?ce.
The prison at Somerset was operating in excess of its bed capacity of 2,203 late last month by a
margin of 201 . The total inmate population there was 2,404 as of April 30, according to the
Department of Corrections' most recent month-end population report.
Relocating the prisoners needing radiation treatment is tied to a broader push by Wolf's
administration, which is aimed at saving $150 million across state government during the current
?scal year.
A stalemate over this year?s state budget dragged on for nearly nine months between Wolf, a
Democrat, and Republicans in the state's General Assembly, before ?nally ending in March.
The governor has argued that signi?cant action will be required going forward to address a $2 billion
de?cit in the upcoming budget cycle.

The Schuylkill County prison cannot accept sentenced criminals until its average population
drops below 277.
The state Department of Corrections ordered on May 4 that the facility is ineligible to take any
additional prisoners sentenced between six months to ?ve years until further notice.
The DOC order said the county has failed to comply with an agreement approved last year that the
inmate population would not exceed its approved capacity of 277. The agreement, approved July 28,
2015, was designed to reduce triple ceiling at the facility. Triple ceiling refers to three inmates being
housed in a cell meant for one or two.
The county was given until Nov. 24, 2015, to reduce its inmate population or risk not being allowed to
house additional prisoners. The facility had 302 inmates that day, according to the DOC's order.
Commissioners Chairman George F. Halcovage Jr., who also serves as prison board chairman, said
he thought the county was in compliance with the agreement, but the state DOC wants the
average inmate population to be below 277.
However, average was not explicitly stated in the agreement. It states: ?On or before Nov.
24, 2015, the county respondents shall ensure that the county prison's inmate population does not
exceed its approved capacity of 277. Thereafter, the respondents shall ensure that the county
prison?s inmate population does not exceed its approved capacity, except on a temporary basis that
does not exceed 30 days."
Halcovage said that was interpreted as the county having 30 days to get the population back below
277. The average was 294 in February and 291 in March. The prison had 309 inmates
Tuesday.
The DOC will review its decision in three months, Halcovage said.
?Despite the county?s diligent efforts to reach the benchmark set by the PA Department of
Corrections, the continued swelling numbers of inmates in Schuylkill County has prevented it from
attaining that benchmark," Halcovage said in a press release issued Tuesday. ?The Schuylkill County
prison board and board of commissioners are committed to continuing to work with the Department of
Corrections, the Schuylkill County court as well as county law enforcement professionals to ensure
that all inmate housing requirements are met and those individuals adjudicated by the court requiring
incarceration will be incarcerated.?
The county is already housing more than 30 inmates at the George W. Hill Correctional Facility,
Thornton, and State Correctional Institution/Muncy since March. Halcovage said the prison board is
also ?nalizing an agreement to house more inmates at the Centre C0unty Correctional Facility,
Bellefonte, and discussions have started with Columbia County Prison, Bloomsburg.
Halcovage said the George W. Hill Correctional Facility can potentially take about 25 more men while
Centre County can take about 20 men and 10 women, and Columbia County can take about 20 men.
?There are not many places willing to take on female population," Halcovage said.
The cost to house inmates at those prisons is $60 a day per inmate. Although that cost is less than
the state average of $65, it is only $45 a day per inmate at the Schuylkill County Prison, according to
the DOC. Halcovage said Columbia County is also asking for $60 a day per inmate.
The prison can still take individuals who are awaiting Sentencing, Halcovage said.
Halcovage said the prison board is continuing to look into other Options, including an intermediate
placement facility and additional alternative sentencing programs.
"The rate of cn'me is not going down and we are working together to get these alternatives,"
Halcovage said. "Our goal is to come together with the different parties involved and work on the plan
together to get the number where it needs to be."

Inside decaying U.S. prison former inmates are guides
By Jessica Lussenhop
At a 19th Century prison that pioneered the use of solitary con?nement in the US, former inmates
lead one-of-a-kind tours about the history of incarceration and their own experience within it.
Standing in a cool stone corridor near the heart of Eastern State Penitentiary, a sprawling Gothic
prisonwturned historic tourist attraction in Philadelphia, Russell Craig tried to round up an audience.
"In one minute, I'm about to give a an exclusive, never-before-done tour," he called to families
and couples as they ambled past, audio tour players dangling from their necks.
Eastern State, a gloomy. turreted structure looming high above an upscale Philadelphian
neighbourhood, was the world's ?rst "penitentiary", a word coined for the founders' hope that its
inhabitants would reform through prayer and become "penitent".
It operated from 1829 until 1971, and held 1,800 men at its peak. After the last inmate left, it
collapsed into a ruinous state. then reopened as a museum in 1994.
Today, the eerily decrepit cell blocks bustle with tourists, boy scouts and girl guides, church groups
and primary school ?eld trips - in total, nearly 220,000 visitors a year.
Craig, a tall, bearded 35-year-old dressed in a maroon tour guide's polo shirt, gradually convinced a
group of 10 visitors to gather around, and led them through a door into what was once the prison
chaplain's of?ce.
Inside, the walls are covered with colourful religious murals - depictions of the resurrection of Jesus, a
prisoner kneeling at the foot of a priest - though they are badly damaged from exposure to sunlight.
They were painted in 1955 by a proli?c inmate artist named Lester Smith who served seven months
for a string of armed robberies. Craig explained to the group that after his release, Smith was never
imprisoned again.
"Why would you think that Lester would use art in prison to change his life?" Craig asked.
The visitors shrugged. Someone ventured "Something to do?" to nervous laughter.
Craig nodded. "True - I can see that." He paused.
was in prison. I used art to change my life in the same way," he said. ?I'm here to give you, like,
right in front of you, a live example of how art can change your life."
This is the moment the museum staff refer to as the ?face melt" - suddenly all the visitors snapped to
attention, their eyes leapt to Craig in surprise.
have examples of my work, if you would like to see," he offered, then pulled out a large
reproduction of his prison identi?cation card that he painted in lifelike detail.
He passed around the real card, too, which identi?es him as "Inmate In the ID photo,
Craig's gaze is cold and detached. He is almost unrecognisable from the smiling, bashful man
standing in front of the group.
decided when I get out, I'm never going to commit crimes again, I'm [going to] be an artist," he told
them. "And it happened for me, just like Lester. He changed his life."
After a string of drugs charges beginning when he was a teenager, Craig came under the tutelage of
a fellow inmate serving life for murder, who was also a talented artist. Craig emerged from prison in
2013 an accomplished portraitist determined to turn his life around.
Today, Craig is one of four formerly jailed tour guides at Eastern State. When he ?rst arrived, he
became so connected to the story of the self-taught Lester Smith - who painted saints by copying
images out of old copies of Jet magazine - that he asked to give tours of the chaplain's of?ce.
"Those guys are just like me way back then," he says.
Nothing identi?es tour guides like Craig as different from the other staff roaming the halls of the
prison. There is no special signage or promotion of their tours anywhere. After a year of planning,
hiring and training, the tours began without announcement or fanfare in March.
'We are in new territory, uncharted territory," says Lauren Zalut, Eastern State's director of education
and tour programmes. who leads the new group. "No other museums really around the country are
doing work like this."
The tours coincide with the unveiling of a new exhibit called Prisons Today: Questions in the Age of
Mass Incarceration, which explores the American model of punishment. In the decades after Eastern
State Penitentiary closed its doors, the state of the criminal justice system changed tremendously and
the US prison population ballooned by 700%.
The US imprisons 2.2 million people, far more than any other country, and yet no national museum
had attempted to explore the history of imprisonment.
Sean Kelley, director of public programming at Eastern State, says that he once felt that tackling
issues of contemporary incarceration - especially the disproportionate number of African American
prisoners - was too controversial fortheir holidaying visitors.
But after years of careful exploration and prototyping and a "conversion" for Kelley in terms of his
thinking on what the purpose of the museum should be - they decided to build out a new, state-of-the-
art space to hold an exhibit whose main thesis is that "mass incarceration isn't working".
"In our original mission statement, we dropped the word 'neutral' from it," he says.
"You really want to be neutral on the fact that our nation has 30% people of colour in the general
population and 60% in our prisons, and it's been that way since before this building was built?"
The guides' 15-minute tours turn into something of a miniature social experiment - the majority of
visitors to Eastern State are middle-class white tourists, many of whom have never had any
interaction with the American criminal justice system.
On the so-called "pilot programme" tours, visitors have the opportunity to speak to a person who can
connect the history of the old prison with the present, with the intent to build empathy for so?called
"returning citizens" who often struggle to acclimate to life in the free world.
"I'm a normal person just like you, I made a lot of poor decisions obviously, but I want them to be
more informed says pilot programme guide Marvin Robinson, a contemplative 29-year-old in
tortoise-shell glasses. think that by expressing myself and my personal experience I can give them
something to think about."
The tours are purposefully unscripted and each of the guides reveals their back story differently.
Sheri, who asked that only her ?rst name be used, waits until her tour of "Soup Alley", the half?
collapsed kitchen and communal dining hall, is nearly over before offering her personal experience of
prison food. She shares a recipe for cheesecake that she made in her cell from crumbled packaged
cookies, provolone cheese and coffee creamer from the commissary.
"It's amazing what you can do," she tells visitors. love cooking, 50 just having that experience of
different ways of cooking, coming up with things, was pretty amazing."
Robinson leads visitors through the dank underground "punishment cells" beneath Cell Block 14.
Visitors have to take care to avoid knocking their heads on the low pipes, though the cells themselves
had no working plumbing.
The American founders of Eastern State constructed the building as an alternative to the crowded,
?lthy communal jail cells of the 18005 as a criminal justice reform effort swept the young nation.
They prescribed solitary con?nement, keeping inmates separated in almost total silence with a single
thin window in the ceiling so they could pray and learn penitence. At the time it was seen as a
revolution in humane incarceration.
But modern times warped that vision into a form of punishment. On his tour, Robinson reveals that he
was once one of the 81,000 individuals estimated to be held in solitary con?nement in the US prison
system at any given time.
During his time behind bars for drug traf?cking, Robinson was placed in the or special housing
unit, for 15 months in a federal facility in North Carolina for possession of a contraband mobile phone.
He tells visitors how he tried to stay mentally active by reading books, though he sometimes became
too depressed to eat or even move.
"it takes everything from you," he says. "You strip a human of everything that makes you human."
The decision to hire the formerly jailed guides to work in the museum happened almost by accident,
after a man who had served time in prison joined the staff briefly. He began having unprompted
conversations with guests about his time behind bars. On the museum's annual "Prison Food
Weekend", he offered to prepare his personal recipe for chi chi - a casserole-like dish inmates
concoct in their cells using items purchased from the commissary like ramen noodles, cheese curls,
sausage and barbecue sauce.
Kelley says the experience helped him realise that his staff of mostly white, university-educated
employees could learn a lot from a group of guides that had lived through the prison experience.
There were concerns about "tokenism" or placing the guides in a vulnerable position by having to
disclose their criminal histories to strangers all day long.
Kelley says there were also worries that visitors would protest, or that having people on staff with
criminal records could pose some kind of safety risk. But once they met the four people who were
ultimately hired, those worries evaporated and were replaced by others.
don't want visitors to come in explicitly looking for a formerly incarcerated person as a tour guide,"
he says. "This becomes like adventure tourism - that is the nightmare."
Though the reaction from visitors has been mostly positive - there are hugs, handshakes, even
rounds of applause - the tours can also trigger complex reactions. One man responded angrily when
he heard about Craig's access to a luxury like art supplies. Sheri says she, too, has noticed subtle
negative responses, like a woman who began nervously pacing after Sheri revealed that she was
incarcerated.
"She was a little snooty," Sheri recalls. "They're welcome to their own opinions, I don't take offence to
it."
And then there is the fact that by disclosing their records, the guides can be exposed to a host of
personal questions.
When one older couple asked Craig what happened in his childhood that led to prison, he found
himself explaining that he'd been taken away from his alcoholic mother by child protective services at
age five, then bounced from group home to group home, eventually running away and dealing drugs
to make money. When he revealed that he does not know who his father is, the woman's horri?ed
expression was hard to miss.
"You gotta keep it together and stay professional," he recalls. thought 1 was alright, but I was
affected a little bit."
Overall, however, Kelley says that visitors' receptiveness re?ects the shifting public opinion on
incarceration.
think there's been a national change in the tone and it's bipartisan," he says. ?I?m really proud to
have those four voices as part of our programme. I really, honestly think it's one of the most
interesting things happening in America in historic sites."
Last week, Robinson, Sheri and Craig attended a cocktail party to fete the opening of Eastern State
Penitentiary's "Prisons Today" exhibit. Robinson actually out the ribbon, ?anked on either side by
academics, dignitaries from the Philadelphia mayor's of?ce and high-ranking members of the
Department of Corrections.
Near the entrance of the new exhibit, a hallway splits into two paths. "Have you ever broken the law?"
a huge red sign asks. Visitors have the option to step to the left under a sign that says orto the
right -
Robinson stepped to the left, along with almost everyone in the well-heeled crowd. He passed various
exhibit implements nodding approvingly.
feel like I'm a part of something bigger," he said. "Something that's positive, something that's
progressive."
The pilot programme will end in June - whether or not it will be renewed is still an open question,
though both Kelley and Zalut feel it has been an overwhelming success.
While Craig has contract work from the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and Robinson drives for a
private emergency vehicle service, Sheri is still struggling to ?nd full-time work, especially as she lives
in a halfway house that has no intemet access. She's trying to use the connections she's made
through Eastern State to get a job helping other former inmates re-enter society.
At the very end of the exhibit are two glass display cases, each containing the only signs that
acknowledge the existence of the pilot programme.
"Several of our tour guides have experienced incarceration ?rst-hand," the sign reads. "These objects
hold important memories of their time in prison."
Craig's side of the case is ?lled with artwork. Sheri donated a thin cotton head scarf that she worked
for weeks at 19 cents an hour in order to afford.

Butler prison to house Venango inmates

Wilkes Barre Times?Leader (051112016)
Editorial
Prison of?cials at the Wilkes-Barre facility say they are coping with an inmate population increasingly
made up of men and women with allegiances to the Bloods and rival street gangs.
Guards consequently must deal with troubles that not only consume the workers' time, but also
expose them to risks. Inmates, for example, hide and exchange coded messages, prompting staffers
to conduct searches every day, said James Larson, interim county correctional services division
head. Gang members also deface cell walls with their symbols and spark ?ghts, often continuing
con?icts that began outside the prison, according to a news article by reporter Jennifer Learn?Andes
in Sunday?s Times Leader.
For the protection of prison employees, inmates and visitors, Luzerne County of?cials need to pursue
immediate solutions.

Building a modern prison with a better layout and the latest safety features probably remains cost-
prohibitive until the county further pays down its $321 million debt (principal and interest). Until then,
short-term remedies ?which also will cost money include reviving central court to keep the inmate
population lower, restoring the use of drug-snif?ng dogs, conducting specialized training for workers
and adding guards.
Beyond those measures, which were outlined in Sunday's article, prison of?cials and others in
Luzerne County would be wise to adopt more strategies for discouraging gang recruitment of new
members and for pointing current members toward a way out.
Many of the offenders locked in Wilkes-Barre's jail already are far from their usual turf. While here,
instead of in Allentown or Philadelphia, they might be more receptive to the idea of getting away from
the exhausting, sometimes violent and always pathetic lifestyle that de?nes most gangs.
Leaving these groups frequently portrayed as an impossible goal can be accomplished, especially
by members who are newer to the out?t or have weaker ties. People ?age out" of gangs for many
reasons: marriage, the birth of a child, employment, and other grown-up activities. Others break away
by moving or "fading out."
In the Wyoming Valley, professionals - ranging from police and probation and parole of?cers to
community activists potentially could devise ways to reach incarcerated gang members with
messages and support to break from their old habits. Resources forthis sort of effort include
gangfreeorg and the National Gang Center, the latter of which produces a bulletin with articles such
as "Getting Out of Gangs, Staying Out of Gangs."
By all means, take the necessary steps to make the county prison more safe. But don?t overlook the
possibility of also providing certain gang members with a new direction and better life by showing
them they can ?nish more than prison terms and accomplish more than just surviving their daily
struggle.

York Co. settles lawsuits including ex-inmates in ?Fight Club' claim
By Theresa Boeckel
York County commissioners are preparing to settle two separate civil lawsuits alleging that the
defendants' rights were violated.
The county has reached a $60,000 settlement with a former prison inmate who sued corrections
of?cers, the warden and the prison board, alleging they had direct participation in or knowledge of
"Retard Olympics" and a "Fight Club" involving prison guards and inmates.
According to the agenda, the settlement would settle all civil claims against former York County
Prison Corrections Of?cer Mark A. Haynes, who was acquitted of criminal charges in connection with
the same allegations.
The county has reached a $10,000 settlement with Steven E. Landls against York County District
Attorney Thomas Kearney, according to the agenda. Kearney had cleared two Springettsbury
Township Police of?cers of brutality allegations during Landis's arrest in August 2012.
12
The lawsuit alleges that Kearney should have prosecuted the of?cers. A judge found Landis not guilty
of resisting arrest because he did not have time to comply with the of?cer?s commands. The court
also found that Landis did not attempt to strike or kick the of?cers, the lawsuit states.
Commissioners are expected to vote Wednesday on both settlements.
County solicitor Glenn Smith said the county decided to settle the lawsuits for a couple of reasons.
The lawsuits were still in the early stages, and the county has not incurred a lot of expense at this
point. There is always an inherent risk when a case goes to trial, he said.
Also, with the settlements, there is no admission of wrongdoing in both cases, Smith said.
"We believe it is a fair settlement," he said.
Kearney could not be reached for comment.
David M. Wright, the former prison inmate, and his attorney named 13 defendants in the civil lawsuit
that was ?led last summer. It alleges the "Retard Olympics" and the "Fight Club" were widely-known
events that occurred at the prison between 2008 and 2013. It alleges that among the activities,
inmates were forced to wrestle with other inmates or prison guards; were forced to snort seasonings,
spices and crushed candies; and were forced to consume "soups" made of spoiled food and cleaning
chemicals.
Three former prison guards went to criminal trial earlier this year. They were accused of pressuring
inmates into ?ghts and degrading stunts.
Haynes was acquitted of of?cial oppression, criminal conspiracy, and harassment during the trial, but
Daniel Graff and David Whitcomb were convicted of the same charges. They were sentenced to two
years of probation, plus ordered to pay a ?ne and do community service.
Smith said this settlement covers all defendants in the case.
In his civil lawsuit, Landis alleged that Springettsbury Township Police of?cers Chad Moyer and
William Polizzotto used unnecessary force on Aug. 5, 2012 to take him into custody on a
misdemeanor warrant.
Landis alleges that Moyer broke ?ve of his ribs when he kneed him in the abdomen while he was on
the ground, and that Polizzotto stunned him with a stun gun.
Kearney had cleared the two of?cers of the brutality allegations.
York County Judge Richard K. Renn found Landis not guilty of resisting arrest.
Springettsbury Township reached a $250,000 settlement with Landis a couple of years ago,
according to a letter from the plaintiff's attorney at the time.
Attorney Devon M. Jacob, who represents the plaintiffs in both lawsuits, could not be reached for
comment Tuesday afternoon.
Smith said this settlement covers Kearney and York County government. Other defendants had
settled or had been dismissed from the case, he said.

Exeter man sentenced to 11 years for selling crack at Mohegan Sun Pocono casino
By Joe Dolinksy
SCRANTON An Exeter man will spend 11 years behind bars for selling crack cocaine at an area
casino, the US. Attorney's Of?ce announced Tuesday.
Federal prosecutors say Sekou Lashley, 36, sold four bags of the substance to an informant at a bar
inside Mohegan Sun Pocono casino in Plains Township on March 19, 2015.
Reached Tuesday, Mohegan Sun Pocono President Mike Bean declined to comment.
Lashley previously pleaded guilty to distributing a controlled substance after an indictment was
returned by a federal grand jury May 5, 2015, prosecutors say, resulting in a 120-month prison
sentence imposed by US. District Judge Malachy E. Mannion.
Mannion, according to prosecutors, imposed an additional 12-month sentence after Lashley violated
terms of his supervised release, which he was serving on a 2008 conviction for selling heroin.
Mannion found that Lashley quali?ed as a career offender after the judge considered his ?extensive
criminal history,? prosecutors said.
The case was investigated by the FBI.

Study: Are public defenders biased against their own clients?
By Jeff Benzing
For thousands of criminal defendants, justice depends not only on the fairness of a judge orjury but
also on the fairness of their own public defender.
Racial disparity in the justice system has drawn major attention, but as The Marshall Project notes,
little attention has been paid to the way bias in?uences the very lawyers representing clients hurt by
prejudice in other parts of the system.
Public defenders, who often work tirelessly for clients, are a crucial part of the court system. They?re
also often overloaded with cases and have limited resources. That means choices have to be made
on which cases get the most attention.
?(Bias) might manifest in whether the defender believes in the guilt or innocence of the person they?re
representing,? says Phoebe Haddon, the chancellor of Rutgers University-Camden. ?Or their
assessment of their fellow counsel, the credibility of witnesses, whether to take a plea bargain."
Bias elsewhere in the justice system has been studied closely.
14
As the story notes, black federal defendants are sentenced more than white defendants. The
Justice Department routinely investigates police departments and municipalities for allegations of bias
and civil rights violations.
For many defendants, a public defender is the last line of defense in a complicated and high?stakes
system. They are also the lawyers who often can only spend little time with their clients because of
constraints on time and resources.
In for instance, most homicide cases go to trial with possible penalties as high as life in
prison without parole. If prosecutors offer a plea deal, a lower sentence is generally offered.
Defendants then have to weigh the risk of going to trial with a lawyer they may not know well or
admitting guilt with no defense.
Even without issues of racial bias, public defenders are often criticized for their handling of cases.
Back in 1996, the American Civil Liberties Union ?led a class action lawsuit against the Allegheny
County Public Defender?s of?ce, saying defendants were not getting representation demanded by the
Constitution. The case settled, with reforms promised.
Then in 2011, the ACLU released a report critical of the of?ce, saying it was badly managed and that
problems had increased in the several previous years.
"People were still meeting their lawyers for the ?rst time at the preliminary hearing,? Vic Walczak,
legal director for the ACLU of told the Pittsburgh City Paper last year, commenting on
previous problems.
Since the ACLU report, the of?ce has been under new leadership.
Some public defenders are explicit in addressing potential bias their clients face.
Mark Jacobs, a San Francisco public defender, asked possible jurors if his client?s dark skin might get
him harsher treatment from the judge, according to The Marshall Project.
He realized that possibility has changed his own thinking. Previously, he said he found himself
viewing cases with immigrant defendants as less important.
?It was a feeling of, they're just going to plead guilty so why should I bother?" he told The Marshall
Project.
To better address bias in the system, Haddon and the American Bar Association are creating videos
on bias to prompt re?ection byjudges and lawyers.

Prison phones are a predatory monopoly
By Colin Lecher
Every Sunday, while he was locked up in prison, Ulandis Forte would call his grandmother, Martha
Wright. She would answer her old rotary, relay news from their church, and pass the phone to his
sisters or to his nephew. Wright's glaucoma made it dif?cult to stay in touch through letters, and apart
15
from the rare in-person visit, the phone became Forte?s primary link to his former life. in his lowest
moments, Wright would pray over her grandson through the receiver.
Other inmates, Forte remembers, made calls much less frequently. Overtime, he identi?ed a trend:
the longer they?d been inside, the less likely they?d be to call anyone.
Forte was incarcerated when he was 20 years old, and by the time he was released, he was pushing
40. Over and over, Forte was relocated from Virginia to Ohio to Arizona to Kentucky to
but the Sunday calls remained a constant. For Wright, who eked out a living on the
?xed income of a middle?class retiree, the calls became a ?scal burden costing her thousands of
dollars. Worse, those costs were unpredictable, running on an inscrutable math that seemingly turned
without reason. "Up and down, like the stock," Forte says. "It just had a mind of its own." Wright,
perpetually worried about how her grandson was faring, took some time before she could tell him the
calls were cutting into her budget.
Once she did, Forte decided that he simply wouldn't call. But Wright wouldn't stand for that, even as
she faced ?nancial choices that would test her resolve: pay for her medication, or talk to her
grandson.
Forte saw that other families had confronted similar dilemmas. For many, the calls petered out and
isolation set in. "The longer you've been in prison, the more distant you become to the outside world,"
he says. "People can't afford you anymore." For years, Wright paid the bills, until she and Forte
decided to challenge the system.
though the of the "one phone call" has long held a place in the American imagination, the reality
of communicating with family during a long~term prison stay hardly makes for the stuff of movies. To
prisoners and their relations, calls are a vital connection to home. For facility operators, they?ve long
been considered security holes, a means for inmates to coordinate crimes with the outside. And for
inmate phone companies, along with state and local governments, the system is a lucrative business
opportunity.
For decades, critics called for greater regulation of the companies, arguing that inmates and their
families had effectively been priced out of staying in touch. Today, some of those regulations have
been put in place, partly thanks to Wright but a recent legal challenge may once again roll them
back.
The system hasn't always worked this way. As Cornell University professor Steven J. Jackson writes
in a history of the inmate phone industry, before the 19705, calls were limited to a maximum of one
every three months in state and federal prisons. Even then, they were doled out under the discretion
of a corrections of?cial and available only by petition. But in 1973, citing evidence that touted the
bene?ts of inmate phone contact, the Federal Bureau of Prisons created a program to "permit
constructive, wholesome community contact." The use of prison payphones expanded through the
decade.
was the exclusive service provider in the industry, and costs for inmates were comparable for
similar services outside. But in the 19805, an antitrust agreement pulled the Bell System apart.
Meanwhile, America?s incarceration rate was booming, driven by the war on drugs and more stringent
sentencing guidelines.
With in pieces, upstart phone providers saw dollar signs in the bevy of new "customers" waiting
to be served. First, other majortelecommunications companies, such as MCI and Sprint, moved in.
Then came the specialists dedicated out?ts, like Pay Tel Communications and Global Tel*Link,
willing to appeal to the speci?c needs of the corrections industry. Providing communications to a
literally captive audience was highly pro?table, and as these companies grew, they popularized a new
16
kind of contract with local governments. These agreements hinged on an idea formally known as the
"site commission contract," though critics often describe them using another word: kickback.
Critics often describe "site commission contracts" using another word: kickbacks
Unlike standard highest-bidder?wins contracts, in site commission contracts companies offer to share
their revenue with facility operators. The result is a reverse-bidding system, in which the company
that secures a contract isn't the one offering the lowest price, but the one willing to share the highest
percentage of its revenue. At its most extreme, the practice leads to deals like the one CenturyLink
signed with Arizona in 2014: the company agreed to turn over about 94 percent of its sales revenue
to the state.
The commissions became more and more common as competing service providers proliferated
through the ?903 and 20003. State by state, the terms of the deals varied, but often the rates spiked
dramatically.
The Human Rights Defense Center, a Florida-based advocacy organization that works on inmates'
rights issues, keeps track of such contracts and calculates the costs of calls by state. Consider
Alabama: a contract between the state Department of Corrections and CenturyLink meant that, by
2013, a 15-minute call from across state lines could cost more than $17. A 2013 contract in the
state's Baldwin county didn?t mince words, promising, in addition to an 84.1 percent commission on
gross revenue from calls, "a guaranteed minimum average Commission of $55.00 per inmate per
month." Those numbers translate to massive pro?ts: buoyed by commissions, the state was earning
more than $3 million a year from inmate phone services in 2014.
Forte was a 20?year?old college freshman, home in DC for Christmas break, when he committed the
crime that would put him in prison.
Over the holidays, Forte came back to the tree-lined, residential neighborhood where he grew up:
Brookland. It was the winter of 1994 and Forte spent time visiting his friends and family. He says that
back in those days, the neighborhood was close the kind of community where the children grew up
together, and everyone knew everyone else.
As a child, Forte lived with Wright. She was an independent nurse and her house was full of patients.
Forte says he learned responsibility from the tasks he was delegated, like giving haircuts to the
patients or providing their medications. At night, everyone would gather for family meals. With her
large brown sunglasses and close?cropped gray hair, Wright was an outsize presence, even in her
later years. The family called her Big Momma. Wright passed away in January of 2015, on Forte's
birthday.
On January 20th, 1994, according to a signed af?davit, police responded to reports of a shooting on a
block close to DOS Catholic University of America, about a mile away from Wright?s home. When
they arrived after midnight, the police found a man named Lonnie Jones in a car, alive, with a gunshot
wound to the back of the head. Jones was transported to surgery at a nearby hospital, where he died
at 4AM that morning.
Police later interviewed a man who told of?cers that whoever shot Jones had also shot him twice
before ?eeing. That witness, and later a second witness, picked Forte out of a photo lineup as the
shooter.
Forte says a friend had warned him that someone from the neighborhood was planning to rob him, so
he was carrying a gun for protection. Yes, he says, he shot two people in a panic, but ran for help
after. In our conversations, Forte wouldn't go into detail about the police version of events, or the
17
speci?cs of the Lonnie Jones shooting. Facing a murder one charge, Forte, after a mistrial, took a
plea deal for manslaughter and illegal possession of a pistol. The manslaughter charge translated into
a sentence of 10 to 30 years in prison. Wright paid for his lawyer.
Forte was sent to Lorton Reforrnatory, an infamous Virginia prison. Wright was close enough to make
regular visits, but in 1997 Lorton was ordered to be shutdown and its inmates were transferred to the
sprawling network known as the Federal Bureau of Prisons. In the interim, Forte was turned over to
the private corrections industry.
First, Forte was incarcerated at a Youngstown, Ohio prison run by the Corrections Corporation of
America. From Ohio, Forte was shipped to New Mexico, before ?nally being transferred to another
CCA facility in Florence, Arizona, more than 2,000 miles away from his grandmother. Wright would
visit him in almost every state he was transferred to, asking for help to make the journey.
And then there were the phone calls, and the costs. "The phone call should be maybe $10, maybe
$12. [lnstead,] phone calls were $25, $30 sometimes Forte says. "They were just doing
whatever they wanted to do. There was nothing we could do to stop it." Sometimes, the bills ran into
the hundreds of dollars.
ruggling with mounting prison phone bills, Wright reached out to the DC Prisoners' Project, a nonpro?t
organization, to ask for help. So did others. Forte says he spread the word around the CCA, and
inmates and their kin compared notes. It became apparent that families were being charged
exorbitant phone rates.
"As [the issue] got raised and we found out more about it, we went to other prisoners and family
members and said, 'Is this true? Is this a problem?" Says Elliot Mincberg, senior counsel at the
Washington Lawyers? Committee, a group that absorbed the DC Prisoners? Project in 2006. A group
of inmates and their families coalesced with legal representation from the organization.
"i thought they had dropped it and forgot about it."
Thanks to her tireless work and early involvement, Wright was the group's ?gurehead: her name
became synonymous with their efforts. In 2000, the group brought a class action suit against inmate
phone companies and Corrections Corporation of America, the company that ran the prison where
Forte was incarcerated. The suit alleged that the exclusive contracts they'd entered into had unjustly
escalated phone prices and in turn violated inmates' constitutional rights. Wright became the lead
petitioner, and the case was styled as Martha Wright, et al vs. Corrections Corporation of America, at
al.
But in 2001, the judge hearing the lawsuit decided that the group would have to seek relief with the
Federal Communications Commission. After two years of mandated negotiations, the plaintiffs, now
known as the Martha Wright petitioners, requested new rules for inmate phones.
18
The request started a bureaucratic procedure so sluggish it would take years to work itself out. The
FCC had no deadline to act, and the petition moved into an evidence?gathering period where it
languished for years. The docket grew and grew, but produced little more than paperwork. thought
they had dropped it and forgot about it," Wright would later tell The Washington Post. So in 2007, the
petitioners at the FCC attempted a different tactic.
Rather than tackling the question of exclusive contracts, the group asked the FCC to confront rates
with a new set of rules that would cap the cost of cross-state debit calls at 20 cents per minute and
collect calls at 25 cents per minute. But the commission showed little interest in pushing the petition
forward, and it failed to gain momentum. In the meantime, phone companies and corrections
departments across the country argued that a cap would push them off a ?scal cliff. Then, in 2009,
President Barack Obama appointed Mignon Clybum to the FCC.
In March, I traveled to DC to meet with Clybum at FCC headquarters. Her windows overlooked sterile
government buildings, and her desk was covered in documents. In the middle sat the centerpiece of
her office: a Motorola cellphone a hulking, brick-sized relic from the 19805, gifted to her
by its creator, Martin Cooper.
Clybum ?rst met Forte, who was paroled in the summer of 2012, a decade after Wright had started
the process at the FCC. That September, Clyburn invited him and Wright to FCC headquarters for a
screening of Middle of Nowhere, a ?lm from Selma director Ava DuVernay that chronicles a woman's
life after her husband is sent to prison.
In 2013, Clybum was made interim chainNoman of the FCC. For Clybum, a former publisher of a
Charleston newspaper, the rates were a matter ofjustice another strike against the poor, whether
they were guilty or not.
Though she only held her position for less than six months, she made changing the rates a priority. In
a two-to-one vote that year, the commission passed new rules that capped cross-state phone rates:
anywhere in the country, one minute on a collect call would cost one quarter. "This all began with one
Washington, DC grandmother. Mrs. Martha Wright, who spoke truth to power in 2003, and reminded
us that one voice can still spur a movement and drive meaningful change," Clybum said in a
statement on the decision. But the phone companies and facility operators wouldn?t accept
reduced rates without a ?ght.
In February I spoke with Rick Smith, the CEO of Securus Technologies, one of the largest inmate
phone companies in the world. The company claims to offer services to more than 1.2 million inmates
in North America.
Securus is based in Texas, and Smith has the plainspokenness the state's citizens are known for.
Though he rarely grants intenriews, he was eager to improve his company's reputation. The
anecdotes of customers paying hundreds or thousands of dollars in bills are exaggerations, he says.
And the negative publicity of inmate phone companies has resulted in death threats against him.
Smith defended his company?s pro?ts on many of the same grounds other inmate phone companies
do. The contracts, he says, are a source of funds for crucial corrections services like health care. "It?s
really a public policy issue," Smith says. Securus also provides security services, recording calls sent
through its system and intervening to break up any illegal plots that it detects. "We really feel like we
perform kind of a noble service for society," he says.
The National Sheriffs' Association, a trade group representing law enforcement, largely agrees,
writing in comments to the FCC that inmate calling rates are "misunderstood." Not only does a
monopoly industry provide security, the association argues, but the exclusive contracts are a
necessary way to fund a phone system.
The Sheriffs? Association representsjail administrators across the country, and critics say they have a
considerable ?nancial stake in the status quo. The group, they point out, lists inmate phone
companies Global Tel*Link, PayTel, Keefe Group, and Telmate as "corporate partners."
The alternative to high rates isn?t lower rates, the association has suggested the alternative is that
phone calls in jails will be done away with entirely. "Absent these commissions," association president
Larry D. Amerson wrote in a comment to the FCC, "counties would need to either increase taxes for
the system orjails could potentially cease to provide inmates with this service."
2015, the FCC voted to further expand the rate caps for local and long?distance calls: 11 cents for
prisons and at higher, tiered prices forjails, based on inmate population. Forte, out of prison and
thankful to have a job, couldn't be there to witness the second vote as important as it was, he
couldn?t miss work, he says. Wright didn't make the vote, either. She had passed away earlier in the
year.
Since then, Forte says he hasn?t been apprised of the legal machinations as much as he'd like. Still,
things are going well for him. He's been employed ever since his release. He's also married, and now
has a young daughter. He and his wife have been able to travel to Puerto Rico, to the Dominican
Republic.
The capped rates his grandmother fought for, meanwhile, have been put on hold. After the FCC
adopted its 2015 rate limits, phone companies and some states sued, asking a court to halt the rules
until the suit made its way through court. They succeeded on two points, partially blocking the FCC's
new rules, and then halting an attempt to apply the 2013 caps to more calls. "Am I overjoyed at this
point?" Clyburn says. can?t say that I am. But what we will do is defend this in court." How long that
might take isn't clear.
Forte and Wright at a 2013 Congressional Black Caucus press conference on inmate phone rates.

In its motion to partially stop the rules, lawyers for Global Tel?Link admit that higher rates can be an
issue, but places the blame on site commissions. As the FCC didn?t directly intervene in the
commissions system, the argument goes, such a radical change in the rate structure would prevent
phone companies from recouping their losses.
"Even though the FCC kept the site commissions process in play, and permitted sheriffs and 0005 to
receive site commissions, those counties and correctional authorities still ran to the court and said,
?We?re not going to get enough,? says Lee Petro, an attorney with the ?rm Drinker Biddle Reath
who's worked as pro bono counsel to the Martha Wright Petitioners since 2010.
When I ?rst met Forte in Washington, prison life and court disputes seemed distant. It was warm, and
the city's cherry blossoms signalled spring's approach. We introduced ourselves in front of his
grandmother's house, and retraced the few blocks Forte used to walk every day to school. Since he
was away, the old, brown-brick school he'd remembered had been completely remodeled.
People he used to know have changed, too. He found his old barberthrough Facebook, but
discovered that many in the neighborhood had moved on. Forte himself was surprised by how little
he?d changed, at least on the outside. He says a prison life free of vice has kept him youthful, and it
shows: a young face and bright disposition belies the-fact that he?s now 42 years old. Others weren't
so lucky. "Sometimes you can tell when a person?s been to prison," he says. "They may seem cold-
hearted. You can just see it all over."
Wright kept the church informed about Forte, and the parishioners welcomed him back when he was
released. Thanks to the weekly phone calls, Forte says, his return to the outside world was almost
20
seamless. was able to stay in contact with my grandmother, with the outside world." he says. "It did
a great justice for me."

Kristen M. Simkins They were directed to secure agreements with outside entities to resolve the overcrowding situation.
The expectation was that the State would give them time to correct the entire situation after a positive
meeting with the Pa DOC several weeks ago.
Some time last week they received the letter and the State imposed ?nes and sanctions to include
sanctions such as them being precluded from housing County commitments with minimum sentences
Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smanphone 0f6 months 01? more.
I offered immediate help by housing 5 to 10 females before a contract was actually signed. We have
helped counties with immediate needs before and immediately submitted a contract for your Approval.
Examples were Perry County for 1 female. Elk County initially had a few inmates with medical issues and 1
inmate with behavior issues.
Original message
unexpected letter from the State. The Warden phoned me and asked if we could house 5 to 10 females
toward the end of this week. We further had discussions about males. Those discussions involved males,
not an immediate need for 20 males since they were not con?dent that Delaware could handle more than
the 40 they have. These 20 could be even more since the letter imposed actual caps on population.
Rick this look good.
You need to add that if the desire is to contract with more inmates staff levels would need to be adjusted.
I need direction on the extent of help we can or want to give them. We are comfortable with an in house
Add this and send to the Board and COPY Population of about 330 to as much as 350 but to do so will require a discussion involving staf?ng.
Thanks
I will discuss these issues in whatever fashion you direct but this issue was uncomfortable to discuss today

I feel compelled to give more detail on the Schuylkill County situation to all of you. My concerns are as
follows:
The Schuylkill County folks, as you are aware had their Title 37 annual inspection by the State Dept. of
Corrections. They were cited for severe over crowding along with all the ills that accompany ovecrowding.

Major Misconduct
Inmate Zigarski, Matt was issued a Major Misconduct for giving false information to a staff member. He asked C0 Cori
to submit a phone number sheet to add a number to his list. He wrote the number on a request slip but wrote Michael
Hockenberry?s information at the top so that the number would be added to Hockenberry?s account, not his own.
Inmate Hockenberry was asked about this and stated that he knew nothing about it. Inmate Hockenberry was given a
new number.

Re I to Grou Online View Thread Recommend Forward

Hi all.
We are in the construction document phase of a 204 bed expansion. Within the expansion we
are incorporating a mental health unit. Our vision is to house inmates with serious mental illness
in an area where they can receive increased observation, decreased restrictive housing and an
Were" a less traumatic experience. In designing this space we have provided some challenges
for our architects. One of the major challenges is a shower. We took into consideration staff
feedback and one of the consistent things we heard that staff would value most is a solution
to showering inmates with mental illness. Oftentimes they are resistant to showers and staff
generally assist them with this task. In the State of Virginia, our Standards require two
showers per week. However. those that are seriously mentally ill often require much more
shower time (as you all are probably aware) to provide a clean and hygienic environment. We
have asked our architects (HOK) to design a shower that will assist-us in accomplishing the
showering aspect with limited staff involvement. We are hoping that other facilities may have a
"special" shower incorporated into their facility. Whether additional shower heads. soap infused.
just about any ideas that we can gamer from you all would be helpful. We are involving NAMI.
mental health therapist and other external partners in assisting us with the overall design,
howeverthe "special" shower has yet to be defined. If you have any suggestions, photos. what is
working, vendor information etc. that you all have witnessed or used. we are open to anything at
this point. My transition team will be attending the AJA conference in hopes of ?nding our special
shower, but we are up for any information prior and post to Austin. Thanks so much!

7 Habits That Can Trigger Your Allergy
By Paige Fowler
You may be greatat dodging allergy triggers outdoors, but what happens once you?re inside? From
walking in your front door to tucking yourself into bed at night, you?ll want to sidestep these common
mistakes and keep your allergy triggers at bay.
Steamy?howers
Regularly allowing your bathroom to get too steamy can encourage mold and dust mites to grow, which
may set off your allergy ?Mold thrives in warm, moist, and humid environments," says Neeta
Ogden, MD, an allergist and spokesperson for the American College of AllergyAsthma and Immunology.
If you have an exhaust fan in your bathroom, use it every time to aerate the area. If you don?t have a fan,
keep the bathroom door open to allow some steam to escape.
"Scrubbing your bathroom once a week will help you stay on top of mold growth, too,? Ogden says. ?The
moment you see something black, it means that the mold has probably been growing for a while and you
should get rid of it.?
Use a bleach product to kill mold, and wear a mask and gloves while you scrub.
Wearing YourShoean doors
Keeping your shoes and socks on beyond your front door can track more than dirt throughout your home.
?Pollen falls on the ground and sticks to your socks and shoes, which you then spread around your house,?
Ogden says.
On high pollen clays, slip off your kicks as soon as you cross the threshold.
Ogden also suggests that you go a step further shed your clothes and hit the shower. ?Especially if you
have a bad pollen allergy, removing your clothes will prevent pollen from transferring to other surfaces,?
she says. ?Taking a warm shower will remove the pollen from your hair, skin, and eyes to reduce
irritation.?
Allowing Pets on Your Bed
If you?re allergic to pet dander, you need to keep them out.
?Unless you?re bathing your pet every night, bringing your pet into your bed where you spend 8 to 12
hours of your day is such a concentrated form of exposure,? Ogden says. ?You?re allowing dander and
pollen that sticks to your pet?s hair to sit there and affect you for a long period of time.?
ideally, keep your pet out of the bedroom while you sleep, Ogden says.
l.eaving.XouLMnd_Qws_Qpen
There?s nothing quite like the smell of freshly cut grass wafting through your windows in the springtime or
the scent of crisp autumn air. But if you have allergies, that?s a no-no.
Keep your windows closed, especially during high-allergy times. You?ll prevent pollen, smoke, mold, smog,
and other irritants from infiltrating your home.
?Once allergens find their way into your home, they land on surfaces where you can?t see them, and it?s
really difficult to remove them,? Ogden says. During the warmer months, this means that you may have to
run your air conditioning more often.
Be sure to replace filters in your central heating or cooling system at least once a month so they can
continue to suck more of the bad stuff out of your air.
Macuuming
While regularly vacuuming your home is essential for removing sneeze-inducing particles, the type of
machine that you use matters. Look for one with a high-efficiency particulate air (H EPA) filter.
?The filter is extremely effective at suctioning smaller particles out of the air,? Ogden says. ?With other
types of vacuums, you?re just circulating the allergens into the air and inhaling it, which can worsen
Aim to vacuum weekly to keep dust, dirt, droppings, and other particles from piling up.
Cleaning WithoutProtection
?Wear gloves and a mask every time, even if you?re just wiping down the counters at the end of the day,?
Ogden says. ?Whenever you see a microfilm on a surface, there can be dust mites and other allergens
gathering there that can trigger a reaction.?
The chemicals and fragrances in cleaners may also irritate your nose and lungs, so wearing a mask and
gloves will help with that, too. If you still have when you clean, consider using a white vinegar
and water mixture. It?s less harsh and so is less likely to cause irritation, Ogden says.
You?re Overdue to Change Your Sheets
?Your bed is a breeding ground for dust mites because they love warm, dark areas,? Ogden says. Plus, they
feed off of skin cells that live on your sheets. I
Fight back: Wash your bedding at least weekly using hot water and a high?heat cycle in the dryer to
remove dust mite residue. Ideally, remove extra throw pillows and stuffed animals from your bed to
minimize the surfaces on which dust mites can thrive, Ogden says.
Her other tips to keep your bedding allergy?free:
. Look for 100% cotton sheets, which are less irritating to the skin than other fabrics.
- Use allergy-proof covers on your mattress and pillow covers.
. Replace your pillow every 6 months to a year.

That?s the ?rst week Walt is on the Lt schedule, so I'd like to leave them all in place and try to have a normal week. Plus
we may have TASER training that week by either Allen or Fisher.
We need to solicit interest from 11-7. The other two shifts should be okay a while. Do either of you want to go? I'm
going to be putting in a request today for vacation that Mon-Wed, but I'll be there to assist Thurs 3p-5p and Friday all

Their schedules are not set yet but I am meeting with them to go over the rules and regulations, sign some

Hello Melanie,
Per our dissussion this afternoon, you will review the list of users on the copier/scanners and let us know if they are still
valid. We will then change the scan destination for those that are valid to their drive.
We'll also be checking on the users you reviewed to ensure they are in the correct locations.
Attached is the spreadsheet that lists all the copiers/scanners with the scan and fax destinations as well as date
last used. I formatted the fax to phone numbers so you could review those as well.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

All,
It is with some sadness that I inform all of you that I have resigned my position and will no longer be part of the
Centre County Reentry Coalition. My last day with the County is June 2?d so I will not be at the next meeting
I have been here from the start of the Coalition and have enjoyed attending the meetings, working with the sub-
committees, and the other interactions that I would not have been part of if it wasn?t for the Coalition. I have a
lot of good memories working here and I will miss being part of such a great place to work. I will especially
miss all the wonderful people I have met along the way,
I have a ?nal thought I would like to share with all of you for your next meeting. At some point, take a moment
to look around the room and appreciate those in attendance and celebrate all of the differences. The Coalition
will not always agree and some heated/uncomfortable discussions will take place. But all of these different
people from different backgrounds getting together to work toward a common goal is a great thing. How boring
would it be if we were all the same and what little growth would take place.
Good bye and good luck!

Dee,
Based on the direction below, should there be a budget revision established moving monies from Food Provisions to
Supplies Commissary; since the majority ofthe food purchases are now being posted there?
Also, looking at the expenditures as a whole for the prison and comparing it to the revenue side; we are currently
running at last year?s levels, with a lot less revenue being received. I know you most likely are aware but wanted to
mention that this may be an area of concern.
Thanks,

Weekly Program Sign-up Sheets
Over the past several weeks there have been issues with inmates signing other inmates up for programming. After
speaking with a few of?cers, a decision was made to include an of?cer signature line on the weekly sign'up sheets. The
new sign-up sheets will be distributed tomorrow morning. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
