Prison policies
eyed for change
DALLAS (AP) - An in-
vestigation into the deaths of
two prison officials killed by an
inmate who has said he acted in
self-defense may spark changes
in prison policies, says Texas
Department of Corrections
Director WJ. Estelle Jr.
But Estelle emphasized
Tuesday, during a news con-
ference preceding a speech to
the Greater Dallas Crime
Commission, that he believes no
prison policies were violated
before the April 14 slayings.
Estelle also said there was no
evidence to support claims by
some inmates that prison of-
ficials have regularly beaten
unruly prisoners in an area
known as “the bottoms.”
He said it was “strange” that
such a complaint never sur-
. faced during the lengthy trial on
S federal lawsuit brought
;-wbo claimed their
titutional rights were violated
•cause of prison conditions.
U.S. District Judge William
; Wayne Justice, who ruled on the
lawsuit in favor of be inmates,
; is expected to sign a final order
Brown, the
the two prison employees, had
been sleeping naked on a wire
mattress until prison
psychologists determined he
was not suicidal.
Brown’s attorneys claimed
that since the killings their
client had been stripped and
was forced to sleep on a wire
mattress without sheets, a
blanket or pillow.
One of brown’s two court-
appointed attorneys, Jerry
Register, said he complained
about the “strip cell” last
Wednesday and Brown ap-
parently was given a mattress,
pillow and some clothes
Thtffaday.
Estelle called the strip cell
“standard procedure" in cases
involving prison violence. He
also dismissed Brown’s
argument that he acted in self-
defense.
Estelle said he will resist
attorneys’ attempts to have
Brown placed in federal
custody and declined to say
where officials have moved
three inmates who witnessed
the April 4 killings. '
Brown, 30, was shot in the foot
during a struggle with Ellis
Unit Warden Wallace Pack,
whd was drowned, and prison
farm manager Billy Max
Moore, who was shot in the
head.
