Leavenworth Prisoners Cry Out

Congressman Tours Penitentiary
BY MARGARET RICHARDS
FT. LEAVENWATH, Kan.
(19) LEVENWATH to help me before I be one of the help dead," a 19-year-old inmate at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks Ronald Palmid, Dumla, Calif.
"My life have been threaten"
Paul wrote. His last name was
withheld at the congressman's
request.
DELLIUMS FLEW here to inaugurate allegations of bribery, assaults and abridement of civil rights raised by Paul and another in connection.
At its conclusion Dellums indicated he was not wholly satisfied but said also that part of the men's troubles apparently out of "differences in view" in the disposition between them and personnel at institution, the only Army-Force penal facility in the world.
believe these men are silly we are said. "They are talking about screws you have to get deal with, you're you got to deal with real reason they see it or you totally ignore you," said the man in the possible to die in the hole mysteriously some night. he said.
The commandant, Col. F. E. Payne said "no man needs to be in charge" of our work. We are trying to communicate with those who want to communicate.
Dellums said he planned to inquire further into medical care for the death in January of Isaac in inmate who complained of headaches for approximately five months to Munson Army Hospital, where he died of a brain infection five days after his incarceration and reported daily to the dispensary.
"Last year a dude died and they said he hanged himself. All the brothers said he didn't hang himself."
--but apparently received no comprehensive examination and no treatment except aspirin.
"He was a quiet man," Paul said of Gay, "but he was black inside. He was a brother."
PAUL TOLD DELLUMS that all of a sudden we found out he (day) was dead. For two or three weeks he was sitting in his locker for him and the night before they took him to the hospital he was screaming. He complained that the segregated disciplinary facility also known as the hole) about two weeks before. He complained that they just old him to take aspirin.
Records showed Gad had never been held in the "base" and that the staff regarded him as a "model inmate."
PAUL SAID the guards "never hurt me," but when he was taken to the hole a guard stepped on his shoulder while searching for a cigarette and told him have to live when I go to the base. He said he believed this was the reason they possessed brutality several times. They put me on special watch every 15 minutes (a procedure that I hadn't done before) and I hadn't done anything to them think I would harm myself. For seven days they checked me for my life and I feared for my life already told me.
"Last year a dude died and they said he hanged himself. All the brothers said he didn't hang himself."
Asked whether he thought the death was suicide Paul replied "You think I'm a fool?"
A slightly built youth from Birmingham, Ala., Paul had been "completely cut off from his family and the outside world" and that two letters he sent to one of his mother arrived as empty envelopes He said "they refuse to call my mother or my wife.
BARRACKS RECORDS showed however, that Johnson made 18 telephone calls to his wife during a one-month period.
Paul's accent and idiotism was so pronounced that it was difficult at times for two reporters, his former interners, to understand him, but under the congressman indicated a considerably higher literacy level than his speech suggested. His assistant said he believed Paul's language was deformed by Carl, who was imprisoned for refusing to go to Vietnam and who was drafted as a year and as an electrical engineering major at John Hopkins University in Baltimore, his home.
Paul and Carl apparently became acquainted while in "the hole": Carl, whose IQ is 149 and with a general population norm of 100, let Paul do most of the taking during the interview.
HIGHLY ARTICULATE and highly literate, the user of such terms as "conditioned behavioral aid," he said he did not plan to return to school but freed is because "there are better ways to use my time then getting a piece of paper." He spoke to his views of Communism and of Marxist theory. He is, he said, "a political prisoner."
Carl was brought up from the hole, where he be and some 10 other prisoners were taken after the attack. He joined their doratories. The contraband, Payne said, was inflammatory literature including books on war, newspapers, and books and periodicals about Angela Davis. He said it was confiscated in a raid, increasing rumors that it was involved in attacks.
THE HOWED pages from two confiscated letters which apparently had not been completed before the attack were identified as the typist for a group said to be attempting to stir up a riot said. "We seem to be fairly causing trouble here, among the ones or six of us who are into that."
A letter in longhand, said by the prison staff to be 'Carl's writing,' said "I'm working on getting another beating right now. Anyway since the 'baiting' I've done, paper, communist literature, so far I've been pretty much handled with kid gloves."
CARL ALSO had been involved in an incident in which guards said he jumped one of them and was attacked by the guards when he complained the incident was investigated by a "kangaroo court," the prison's discipline and adjustment board, which said the incidents were witness or to cross-examine witnesses. Payne said the witness Carl wanted to call was interviewed by investigators and a prison employee, substantiated the guards account of the incident.
Dellums, who arrived unannounced at the prison gates, was given a seemingly unrestricted
tour of the institution, including the appearance immediately cleanable which consists of a series of tiny cells facing an open area looking on
IN ADDITION to interviewing Paul and Carl in apparent visitation in a room, with no prince present; he extensive interviews with correctional officers and with two prisoners who could help him if that he could go into the prison yard and talk with "just any man he chose." Time did not permit, of approximately nine hours.
Bruce, 22, serving life for murder, told he *villiams* the "intrigues" that happens to him in some ways. I came here with an idea: I'm going to tear the whole thing apart, lots of lots of ideas. Some of the men cause their own trouble. Asked by the defense, courts, he said "a guy got jumped on by guards before Payne came on," and we never really saw a kangaroo court.
"SOME FEEL that inmates should be able to have other inmates guard them. This is not allowed and its guard's word against ours. But this doesn't make sense. If I had a lot of inmates who would all a whole lot of lice to keep him out of the hole. If the prisoners were locked, they would just lie for each other."
Bruce, whose home is in Chicago, believes the review board in Washington is definitely going to get a reduction of his tax liability a good lawyer. Asked about medical care in the prison, he said, "It depends on what is the cost of your new doctor gave me a lot of medication." But he said he could not judge, due to the fact that he had a cancer operation some weeks ago and required regular examinations for this reason.
BRUCE, PRESIDENT of the prison chapter of the Jaycees, participates also in the prison's visitation. We prisoners try to counsel other prisoners who are having adjustment difficulties. He does not know where to go and don't go down there. There's harassment by the guards down there and you could get in a hole and you wind up in the hole yourself."
Payne said the administration realizes there may be some differences in attitudes and that "we are trying to find a more minded cohort of students with mind closed to robotisation as a whole."
KUOK Contest To Try Setting B-ball Record
The KUOK marathon this weekend at Oliver Hall will feature an attempt to set a world record by running 2,000 meters from 9 a.m. Friday to midnight Sunday. KUOK staffers hope to win themselves 25,000 miles.
More than 1,000 prizes will be given away over the weekend, including skis passes, records and awards redeemable for free food.
This will be the second time this year that KUOK radio has trained a 63-hour marathon. The first was at Ellsworth Hall. In the fall, he planned to set up his broadcast equipment at Hassinger Hall.
video tape equipment is being installed so that everything which goes on can be seen and recorded.
BRUCE WAS asked if he was able to receive and send letters to his family.
"You can write anybody you want to. Your incoming mail may be from a community or communist literature in it maybe if some individuals would send it."
"Anybody can," he said.
Robert, 32, of Dallas, Tex., like Bruce is a lifer who decided to take advantage of "the program" offered. It includes complete high school and junior college training in more than 20 vocations ranging from automobile mechanic to radio disk jockey
ROBERT SPOKE of "a friend who hanged himself." "It was rumored that a guard hanged him. There was no evidence of this and I don't think it hap- tered. If there was any bruitfulness, he said, "Menhave been in beat but it's not for me to say why."
"There are all types of facilities here and all types of inmates. Some have a rebellious attitude of hatred."
"I came here with life," Robert

"The $4,500 would about equal the man hours required for one year of work. You would have more security on patrol, definitely more security for residents would be safer."
Director of Traffic and Securities Mike Thomas said that it would take one man an hour to load the Stouffer Place lot.
George Jenks, chairman of the traffic and parking board which seized a schedule that said a parking fee was required. "Stouffer Place because, 'the committee is obligated to provide watches for all of the campus.'"
He said that if residents were charged parking fees, some system to cancel tickets to guests would be needed.
Thomas made note of the system used at Lewis Hall, where
visitors to the residence hall sign in at the desk. If their car is unavailable while they are inside the building, you may take the ticket to the desk where.
