• Calipatria State Prison teachers protest the potential loss of their positions By MICHAEL A. SALORIO Monday, July 14, 2003 3:08 PM PDT Staff Writer CALIPATRIA STATE PRISON — About 15 teachers picketed outside here all day Friday to protest the potential laying off of 20 percent of teachers employed by the California Department Corrections in connection with the state's budgetary constraints. ... Tom Stroud, union spokesman and adult basic education teacher at the prison, said it makes no sense for the DOC to make cuts in its education department, which produces revenue. "Education brings in revenue from the receipt of average daily attendance money from the state. ... Studies have shown that for every dollar spent on prisoner education, $2 are generated for the state in revenue," said Stroud According to Stroud, that is so because the academic and vocational skills taught to the inmates allow them to get jobs and become productive, taxpaying members of society upon release. ... Mark Bollinger, District 710 bargaining unit representative and an electronics vocational teacher at the prison, said about 50 District 710 teachers received potential layoff notices. The district includes Calipatria, Centinela State Prison in the El Centro area and Chuckwalla and Ironwood state prisons in the Blythe area. ... Bollinger added while the statewide layoff rate for prison teachers is 20 percent, Calipatria State Prison has 14 teachers who were given potential layoff notices. This means the prison is looking at the possibility of losing a third of its teaching staff. ... "What happened to the rehabilitative aspect of prison? If you just keep cramming them in here with no prospects and opportunities to advance themselves, what do you think is going to happen? The privatization of prisons is creeping in. ... Also of concern to Stroud is the economy of Calipatria, which has boomed, he said, since the prison opened more than a decade ago.

• Nothing proved so far in California's Federal Courts compares to the physical brutality endured by prisoners at California State Prison at Corcoran, south of Fresno in the Central Valley. ...
• The most public example was conducted in July of 1995 when a busload of African-American prisoners arrived from Calipatria in southern California. ...
• Every day prisoners were assigned by staff to the yards who were known enemies or who were from rival prison gangs. ...
• The setup fights and more direct physical abuses were followed by false disciplinary write-ups against the prisoners, but rarely resulted in the bringing of new assault charges in state court. Many of the prisoners involved were found guilty of serious breaches of prison rules. The rules violations resulted in loss of good time and placement in long term disciplinary housing at Corcoran or the Pelican Bay State Prison Security Housing Unit. Any felony convictions brought more prison time and a possible third strike and a life sentence. The gladiator fights were used by the prison staff to create a demand for and initially fill the cells of the more modern and secure Security Housing Unit at Pelican Bay State Prison. Guard salaries were enhanced and the prison industry supported, while the public was kept misinformed about the events. ...
• Lost goodtime must be restored which will effectively shorten the stay in prison for those found guilty of serious rules violations(CDoC 115s). ...
• A few guards being disciplined or fired, or even criminal indictments only scratch the surface of the state's responsibility.

• Angelo Buono, whose gruesome killing of young Los Angeles women in the 1970s earned him the nickname “Hillside Strangler”, has died in prison, corrections officials said.
• Buono, 67, was found dead yesterday at Calipatria State Prison in California said Bob Martinez, a spokesman for the state Department of Corrections.
• “He had assigned duties at the prison, and he was single-celled because of the nature of his crime,” Mr Martinez said. “There was nothing exceptional about his conduct in prison. ...
• In November 1983, Buono was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after being convicted of killing nine young women and dumping their nude bodies on Los Angeles-area hillsides, earning him the nickname Hillside Strangler.

• Jerry Bier, Man Tells Court of Rape in Corcoran Prison Cell, The Fresno Bee, October 8, 2003. ...
• At times fighting back tears, Eddie Webb Dillard described his rape and his attempts to fight off a man nearly twice his size inside a tiny Corcoran State Prison cell more than 10 years ago.
• Dillard said he was raped that night and again the next before he broke from the security housing unit cell while it opened for Robertson, known in prison as a sexual predator and nicknamed the "Booty Bandit. ...
• Robert Allan Decker and officers Joe Sanchez and Anthony Sylva were named in Dillard's lawsuit and accused of deliberately placing him into a cell with Robertson on March 5, 1993, to punish him because he had kicked a female guard at another state prison.
• He later filed a prison complaint against Sanchez but eventually withdrew it because he was afraid of reprisal.
• Dillard, a gang member from Compton, said he was convicted of three felonies as a 19-year-old, and first saw Robertson when the two of them were at Tehachapi State Prison.
• His punishment: His prison sentence was extended and he was placed in administrative segregation, or what inmates call "the hole," for 30 days.
• Dillard testified that he requested to be transferred to the new Calipatria State Prison and it was there that he kicked a guard. ...
• That incident also extended his prison time and he wound up at the Corcoran security housing unit, essentially a prison within a prison.

• Associate Elizabeth Lemond (NB) and then-OMM attorney Peter Afrasiabi (NB) gave O'Melveny's Ninth Circuit Pro Bono Program its latest victory December 26 in a civil rights appeal involving a state prisoner. Narvis Nonnette had brought a Section 1983 action against officials of California's Calipatria State Prison, claiming they violated his constitutional rights by miscalculating his prison sentence, revoking 360 days of his good-time credits, and imposing 100 days of administrative segregation in a disciplinary proceeding without supporting evidence. The district court dismissed the miscalculation claims and granted summary judgment for the defendants on the disciplinary claim; both rulings were based on the fact that Nonnette was a state prisoner and that his civil rights claims necessarily challenged the validity of the underlying decisions that caused his continued confinement. ...
• Because Nonnette was released from state court custody while his appeal was pending, the remedy of habeas was unavailable. The Ninth Circuit agreed that because he had already been released, his civil rights claims would not amount to a collateral attack on his state court conviction. ...

• A prison guard now fears for his safety after blowing the whistle on a Salinas Valley State Prison clique.
• " Vodicka's journey from rock solid prison guard to rock-and-a-hard place whistle-blower started three years ago on a spring day at Salinas Valley State Prison in Soledad.
• In testimony before the state Senate this past week, Vodicka explained that it was one of the tribal signatures of the "Green Wall," a clique of Salinas Valley State Prison guards who turned the traditional code of silence into a phalanx of misconduct and intimidation.
• "But at Salinas Valley State Prison it was very strong. ...
• In the interview, as well as in his testimony and a lawsuit against the state, Vodicka lays out a disturbing picture of the rogue group. Some members of the Green Wall apparently even infiltrated the prison's Investigative Services Unit, an internal affairs operation that probes crimes committed within the prison walls.
• State inspectors confirmed the existence of the Green Wall at Salinas Valley, according to a legislature document prepared for the hearings.
• Eloy Medina, spokesman for Salinas Valley State Prison, said that Warden Anthony Lamarque would have no comment.

• A week later, Lewis was transferred to another prison.
• When state investigators showed up at Salinas Valley to investigate the Green Wall, an agent walked around asking questions accompanied by a guard's union representative who had ties to the Green Wall, Vodicka said. ...
• The label is considered so dangerous in prison that if a guard calls an inmate a snitch and the inmate is hurt, the officer can be held criminally liable. Vodicka was transferred for safety to Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga. ...
