• Convicted killer of Oregon prison chief pins hopes on DNA test .
• -- The man convicted of killing state prisons Director Michael Francke in 1989 has been transferred out of Oregon while he waits for a new trial and DNA testing he says will prove his innocence.
• The state has arranged for the tests to be performed by forensic scientists with the Oregon State Police, but Kevin and Patrick Francke say a nationally renowned expert should conduct the tests.

Dillard, who looked like a skinny teenager, was to be moved into the cell of Wayne Robertson, a big, buffed-up prison enforcer who boasted in official reports that he raped unruly inmates as a favor to Corcoran staff. ...

• Furthermore, according to Parenti, by demonizing and criminalizing an entire social sector, the State creates the justification it needs to construct and maintain a large and sophisticated mechanism of social surveillance and control.
• In the final section of his book, titled "Prison," Parenti provides a nightmarish vision of a world imbued with sadism from top to bottom. This is a world where prison guards, for their own amusement, set-up fights between prisoners; where prostitution, both of male and female prisoners, is an accepted practice; where rape is used for punishment and to create psychological control:.

• Prison crews no longer will work for free.
• In the cash-strapped Imperial Valley, where communities get by on budgets that don't leave much room for extravagance, prison work crews were a welcome addition. ... If alleys were cleared of trash, it often was due in part to work crews from Calipatria and Centinela state prisons. If parks were kept clean and well-maintained, thanks was due in part to prison crews, who served as an extension of city crews bogged down by other pressing matters. The California Department of Corrections is no longer offering the service of prison crews — at least not for free. That free service has become a casualty of the state's budget crisis.
• 1, the state prison system ceased to provide work crews to communities free of charge. ... Now, if communities want the prison crews, they will have to pay and the cost can be high — as much as $84,000 a year. ... Calexico City Councilman John Renison said the prison crews have been an important part of the city, helping keep the city's parks clean. ... "We need to get ahead of the curve," he said, adding the city does not have the staff or the resources to do all the work the prison work crews did. Calipatria is another city that has depended heavily on the prison crews. One of the Valley's smallest cities — with only a three-member public works staff — the prison crews have been a crucial part of the city. City Manager Romualdo Medina said crews from the Calipatria prison helped maintain the city's five parks, clean the 18 miles of roads in the city, cleaned rubbish around the city's wastewater plant, painted, did landscaping and even put up the city's Christmas decorations. ... Medina said he is disappointed because communities such as Calipatria chose to host state prisons with the idea there would be certain benefits, such as work crews. ... Still, she said Brawley will miss the prison crews. ... In El Centro, Mayor Ray Castillo said the prison work crews did ongoing work to clear alleys of trash and clean parks. ... With that in mind, he said the city will be looking into its budget to determine whether there are funds to use the prison crews at least on an emergency or as-needed basis.
