Students and former employees said the cells are equipped
with video cameras that can be monitored from a nearby
office. Staffers are to check on the cells' occupants every 30
minutes through small windows in the doors, and note their
conditions in a log, according to students and former em
ployees. Funeral services for Ms. Gilbert Sohappy were held in
Warm Springs. Friends and family gathered to remember
the teenager who loved basketball, Softball and her CD player.
After the burial service, friends remembered her as a viva

and Madras before transferring to Chemawa this fall.
Some, including two tribal elders, said the girl did not
drink until she went to Chemawa.
