(Continued from Page 1 Col 2)
social effects on the prisoner and the
fa m ily members - is reduced by
fam ily visits.
The In m a te s’ F a m ily V is its
C om m ittee emphasizes the benefit
for the fam ily - the need o f the wife
to have b oth sexual relations and
com panionship w ith her husband
and the need o f the children to know
and have a positive relationship with
their father.
M rs. D urand explained her
situ a tio n . “ M y son w ill be in OSP
for two more years - losing this b ill
means seven hours a month fo r two
more years. He has no w ife or
children, and that is why I wanted
parents to be included. I was angry
at my son - that he got into trouble
and th a t he got in tro u b le in th is
state. A t least i f he were s till in
C a lifo rn ia he could have vis ito rs .
Actually, in C alifornia he would not
be in prison fo r his crim e - w ith a
clean reco rd . He w o u ld be on
probation.”
M rs. D oran d m oved fro m
C a lifo rn ia to Salem to be near her
son, but found that she can see him
o n ly seven hours a m on th - in a
crowded visiting room where con­
versation is d iffic u lt.
Arguements against fa m ily visits
come m a in ly fro m co rre ctio n s o f ­
ficials and right-wing groups and in­
clude need fo r re trib u tio n , m oral
c o n sid e ra tio n s , cost and se curity
problems.
Private fa m ily visits are allowed
in a number o f other nations and in
M ississippi, C a lifo rn ia , New York
C onnecticut and W; shington. New
federal rules re q u ire that federal
prisons a llo w c o n ju g a l v is its by
19f».
The M ississippi program began
in fo r m a lly when P archm an was
built in 1900, with prisoners in wokk
camps building their own shacks for
visits. T o d a y , the State provides
housing units w ithin the prison. Any
legally married prisoner can use the
fa c ilitie s and sixty per cent o f the
men and seventy per cent o f the
women p risoners d o. In 1974,
v is itin g was expanded to p ro v id e
three-day v isits by fa m ilie s in e f­
ficie n cy a pa rtm e nts and houses

typical prisoner has a visit every two
months.

has c o n tin u o u s ly expanded and
liberalized the program . Emphasis
is on strengthening fam ily unity and
children, prents, siblings and other
immediate fam ily members can par­
ticipate.
V isits last fro m 19 to 72 hours,
w ith an average o f 48 h ours. A p ­
proximately half o f the visits involve
fa m ily m em bers o th e r than hus­
bands and wives.
Washington State Penitentiary at
W alla W alla began its fa m ily visit
program on A p ril 15, 1981. A ll in ­
mates who have been in prison fo r
six m onths and who have not been
fo u n d g u ilty o f p a rtic ip a tin g in a
disturbance, assaultive behavior or
attempted escape are eligible. O nly
spouses, c h ild re n , step c h ild re n ,
parents and g ra nd pa re n ts are in ­
cluded.
Visits take place in fo u r trailers
purchased by the State and f u r ­
nished by the inmates. Frequency is
no more than once each 30 days, for
approxim ately 18 hours. C urren tly
170 inm ates, or 17 per cent, have
particip a ted in the program . J.W .
Buchanan, c o o rd in a to r o f the
p rogram , said, ” 1 believe this is a
very good program and the benefits
fa r outw eighs any so-called disad­
vantages. I find that at first we had
some people who were against the
p ro g ra m , but soon a fte r the
program began to operate they too
saw the advantages o f such a
program and now I believe support
it . ”
F a m ily v is its and c o n ju n g a l
association practices are easily im ­
plemented when such practices are
considered im portant by society. In
the U .S ., w ith its V ic to ria n sexual
values, co n ju g a l association does
not flow from the natural order but
m ust come th ro u g h b u re a u c ra tic
debate based on m o ra l, p ra c tic a l,
legal and monetary considerations.
In Oregon, that debate had nearly
reached a positive conclusion when
it was fo ile d by the o bstructio n o f
one man - Senator Fred Heard.

Gracye Kennedy ot Northeast Portland converted
her home heating from oil to natural gas last year
The Kennedy s young son Morgan had a lot to do
with the decision
The baby was a big reason Two years ago during
the ice storm we ran out ot oil and I thought I II
never go through this again1 So we converted to gas
last tall I had my baby in December and it s |ust
been great With gas we can keep the temperature
on 70 and the house is relatively warmer because of
a more comfortable even heat
In my |Ob I do a lot of home rehabilitation work and
many ot my clients were converting to gas and I was
persuaded to look mto it for our home
I computed it out and based on what wc paid tor oil
last spring I know it s going to mean savings tor us
It someone asked tor my opinion I d say
go gas1
Mr and Mrs Kennedy
and Morgan
are one ot
nearly 7 000 families who converted to Northwest
natural gas last year
