If I throw all the *and out of the nuraery school sandbox, I'm releasing hidden ten aiona, "but now, I don't have the sandbox." You deprived me of the security of knowing right and wrong, you debauched me with half chewed mor ael* of Freud, in whose teaching* there is no right and wrong, only errors and understa n d in g , you let sleek men in high places go unpunished for a moral behavior, and I hear you snicker. You label the pursuit of pleasure a valid goal, and insisted that my teachers turn schooling into fun and games. You preach group adjustment and security ra th e r than challenge; protection, rather than ef fori You discard the social and sexual taboos of cen turies and mislabel the result freedom rather than license. Finally, you poi soiled my bone marrow with strontium 90. told me to live it up while I hail the chance, and you set back in lu d irro u s confidence ex peeling me to suddenly become a man Why are you so shocked and hor rified to find a child's emotions in a mans body Savage, S elfish. C ruel, Compulsive and Shallow? TO TH E PEOPLE by W illie Stewaut We the Black here at the Oregon State Penitentiary appeal to you, the people of the State of Oregon, to hear our gre viences of the inhuman conditions that come under the false banner of rehabili tation. We the Black populace are being systematically discrimated against at this "racist” institution. The distribution of jobs are racially selected for the Black Inmate. He isn't given the options, as are the white inmates. He is sent to the laundry, furni lure factory, or the kitrh<-n when he enters the institu tion. Inmates are subjected to rarism when it comes to work release, school re lease, passes and distribu tion of minimum custody to participate in outside pro grams. Inmates from out of state are being d is c rim in a te d against when they are told that because they are from out of state, they are not entitled to the same bene fits as the inmates from Oregon that have a family here or happen to be married. Inmates are being indirectly forced to ge' married while they are here to get a pass or custody. If an inmate refuses to work because the program s initiated by the legislature don't apply to him since he is from out of state and has no relatives in this state or is not married, he is put in isolation until he derides to work. That is cruel and unusual punishment and has nothing to do with rehabili tation. We feel that you the people should investigate these matters. For instance when an inmate is on parole and does something drastic, it is taken out on the whole inm ate population, but mores«» on the Black, ( hi cano and Indians. We the Black Inmates of Oregon State Penitentiary ap|»eal to you the people in our quest for liberty and Justice for ALL. “ Some 8,000 Oregon youngsters runaway from home each year," W illner said. "Some of these kids travel by bus or seek shelter in bus terminals which tend to remain open long hours." State Youth Commission chairman Hon W illner said the Greyhound Bus Com pany and Continental Trail ways w ill assist in an effort to get runaway children and youth bark in contact with parents.
