tions fo r remediation, reform ation
o r im provem ent o f co n d itio n s at
O .S .P . The actions taken against
him were to be destroyed and his
visiting privileges restored.
Bartholomew v Reid, a class action
suit brought by PLS. challenged the
p ris o n s ' re g u la tio n p re ve n tin g a
prisoner from calling witnesses in his
disciplinary hearing that are inmates
or s ta ff members. D is tric t C o u rt
Judge James Bums found that “ the
testimony o f inmates o i sta ff mem
bers w ill, in most cases, be the most
relevant evidence a prisoner -can o f
fer in his defense.” He ruled that
inmates have a right to use these w it
nesses except in cases where the testi
mony o f a specific witness would
present undue hazard.
The judge also ruled that the iden-
tity o f all witnesses must be made
known to the disciplinary committee,
although not necessarily to the in
mate. A prison rule had permitted
evidence to be used against an inmate
even though the committee did not
learn the source o f the inform ation.
Pending cases include:
A lle n v H am m ond and N im s v
Sullivan, challenge the conditions
and length o f confinem ent in the
Segregation and Isolation Building at
OSC and OSCI. The Allen case, filed
on behalf o f Roger Allen, Evans A.
Sm ith, A llen N. V o llo tto n , D avid
K n ig h to n , T e rry E. S hipley, Joe
W ilson, J r., Ronald Snow, Frank
W in g fie ld , and Eugene Lew is,
charges that prisoners are denied
their constitutional rights through a
policy that “ is purposefully designed
to cause the physical, m ental and
e m o tio n a l d e te rio ra tio n o f those
confined in S & I.”
The c o m p la in t charges th a t
p rison e rs in S & I, u s u a lly fo r
violation o f prison rules, are con
fined in 7x8 foot cells. “ A metal slab
attached to a side wall serves as the
occupants' bed . In each cell there
is a toilet and a sink, encased in con
crete on all sides. The flo o r, ceiling,
rear and side walls o f the cell are
solid cement; the fronts o f the cells
are constructed o f steel b a r s ...a
small light fixture is located in each
cell, w ith a 60 watt lamp behind thick
glass and a heavy metal screen.” The
suit also charges that the cells are d ir
ty and that temperature controls are
used fo r behavior control. “ Block
Box” cells are enclosed by solid walls
except fo r a small screen w indow
which lets in little lig h t. Prisoners
can be s trip p e d o f c lo th in g and
deprived o f bedding.
“ P la in tiffs have been subjected to
the arbitrary, unnecessary and exces
sive influ ction o f mace,” the com
plaint charges. Knighton was moved
in a block box cell by defendant
Ham m ond because he verbally ob
jected to the m acing o f a no the r
prisoner. Prisoners have been maced
w hile locked in their cells because
th ey a lle g e d ly were ta lk in g to o
lo u d ly . . .
“ P la in tiffs have been subjected by
prison s ta ff to a rb itra ry, unneces
sary and excessive force resulting in
p h y s ic a l in ju r y . P la in t if f A lle n ,
IN V IT A T IO N TO BID
w hile nude and defenseless, was
thrown to the concrete flo or, striking
his head thereon w ith great force,
and struck by defendant Good and
by other guards. P la in tiff Snow was
hit on the hand w ith a pair o f hand
cuffs.
“ Prisoners, in c lu d in g p la in t if f
W ilson, have been taken from S&I
while serving an S&l sentence and
taken to the prisons P s y c h ia tric
Security U nit ("P S U ” ), placed in a
“ side room *’ and strapped to a bed
fo r days at a tim e, before being
returned to S&l.
” . . . P laintiffs are commonly ad
dressed by guards with racial slurs,
obscenities, and other demeaning
and offensive statements...
“ P la in t if f A lle n and o the r
prisoners have been urged to ‘ hang it
up’ by guards, including defendant
Good. The use o f such language is an
expressed desire that the inmate k ill
himself. Some inmates have com m it
ted suicide while in S & I.”
This case is expected to be heard in
September o f 1979.
H a rris v B oard o f Parole chal
lenges the fact that inmates can
not appeal the parole relase date set
by the Parole Board.
Haggons v C upp challenges the
practice o f automatic strip searches
and finger-waves o f inmates brought
to O .S.P. fro m the annex or the
forest camps. The case was dismissed
and is being appealed to the U.S.
N inth C ircu it C ourt o f Appeals.
A suit filed this week against the
Parole Board challenges an Oregon
law that permits the Parole Board to
postpone parole fo r prisoners found
to have “ severe emotional disturb
ance".
Mechanic said these cases have not
endeared his program to corrections
officials, and that they have not been
particularly prom pt in carrying out
the co urts recom m endations and
ru lin g s . F o r exam ple, the B a r
tholomew case was decided in A p ril
but no steps have been taken to allow
persons to call witnesses in th eir
disciplinary hearings.
Regarding com plaints that PLS
has not served m in o rity prisoners
a d e q u a te ly . M echanic says the
m in ority clientele is in approximate
proportion to the prison population.
He had expected that there would be
requests fo r assistance from groups
o f B lacks, in pro ble m s th a t are
specific to racial discrim ination, but
this has not happened. He credits
this to suspicion o f attorneys and
especially o f white attorneys. There
have been many referrals from Black
individuals fo r civil rights actions,
cases against the institution, and civil
problems.
PLS accepted 2,469 cases between
November, 1976, and January, 1979.
The program w ill begin its fourth
year w ith a new d ire c to r, as
