• Despite the dynamics of these political events, let me say again, should a Great State Budget Compromise not be forged in Sacramento this month, public schools in California face great fiscal peril.
• Regardless of our political beliefs, deeply held or casually embraced, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or Moon Gazing, it is important for all of us with a commitment to Public Education to appreciate the importance of a state budget being passed by the Constitutional deadline of June 30.
• In doing so, I am confident we can agree that communicating with our state representatives to urge them to reach a bipartisan budget agreement on time is vital to every public school, every student, every parent, every teacher in the State of California.

• "Last week I visited Calipatria Prison, and had an opportunity to take a first-hand look at their computer refurbishing program," Battin said. "Out of 5000 computers that they have received, they have refurbished about 2500 state-of-the-art 486 and Pentium computers. ...
• "By working in concert with the state, however, volunteer organizations like the Detwiler Computers for Schools Program, are playing a very important role in correcting this situation. ...

• Atkins, 35, never saw the light of day outside of Ironwood State Prison for 12 years. ...
• "The prison system is the lynching system for the black man today," said Atkins, recalling before an audience at California Western School of Law the day when the prosecutor asked the victim if she recognized the African-American man who committed the crime against her.
• Twelve years later, and with the assistance of appellate criminal defense attorney Douglas Myers '89 and the Innocence Project at Cardozo Law School in New York, Atkins was released from prison in February, but not before it took several years to obtain DNA evidence from the prosecution. ...
• A bill is currently pending in the state legislature that would put California on par with Illinois and New York. ...
• "What can be more horrifying for a profession charged with promoting and protecting justice than to learn of an innocent person sentenced to prison, or even perhaps even being executed, for something he or she did not do," said Steven R. ...
• The state's remorse? Two hundred dollars - 2 percent of the $10,000 maximum under California law, regardless of the length of incarceration. Bills are currently pending in the federal government, one which would give the wrongly convicted $100 for every day spent in prison.
• Until California Western announced the California Innocence Project in May, there was no outlet of last measure in the state for those who have been wrongly convicted. Atkins singles out California Western alumnus Myers, who took on the case at the request of friend and well-known DNA expert Bill Thompson from the University of California, Irvine, Neufeld and his partner, Barry Scheck - calling them "heroes" - and calls on state governments to put an end to the denial of innocence. ... There should be a law established in every state. ...
• The statistics strongly suggest it; I suspect about one-quarter to one-third of the people in prison are actually innocent, and they're serving long prison terms. ...

• Guard our budget from prison spending  .
• This article appeared in the Orange County Register on January 13, 1999, just after I was able to get an admission from the Tehachapi Warden during a televised senate hearing that prison guards were running the drug rings. Is it not the height of hypocrisy that we have so many people locked up for life over nonviolent drug violations and that prison guards are merely reprimanded for breaking the same laws. ...
• Drugs in prison  .
• A recent drug bust at Ironwood State Prison near Blythe highlights a problem that is almost certainly more widespread than officials admit. ... 30 was not a street punk but one of the prison guards. More arrests, quite likely of prison guards or civilian prison employees, could follow. ...
• In November a female prison guard was arrested, along with two cooks and a parolee with a violent past, as part of a ring smuggling drugs -- heroin was seized in November, methamphetamine in an earlier arrest -- into San Quentin. ...
• Last July a 54-year-old veteran prison guard at New Folsom prison near Sacramento was arrested after buying a pound of marijuana from relatives of inmates who were working undercover for the prison system. Officers also seized $19,000 in cash and bank deposits that they said were prison drug profits. ...
• Perhaps, as prison officials say, these incidents represent only a few "bad apples" in the system. But Andy Furillo of the Sacramento Bee, in researching this story, talked to a parolee with a long history of drug convictions who claimed that his "job" while inside prison was cultivating guards and other prison employees for drug smuggling, that he was quite successful at it and that the practice is widespread throughout the California prison system. ...
• That possibility is reinforced by an incident last Wednesday at a state Senate hearing for three wardens up for periodic reinstatement. A spokesman for a new group of prisoner families, called United for No Injustice, Oppression or Neglect (or UNION), claimed that guards at the Tehachapi prison ran drug rings. ...
• The arrest at Ironwood was the work of the California Department of Corrections' new Office of Internal Affairs, created last summer in response to state Senate hearings into allegations of prisoner abuse at Corcoran State Prison near Bakersfield. So there's evidence that those in charge are trying to correct at least some abuses in the prison system. ...

• State prison locked down after protest ends in fires .
• Aberdeen, Washington state - Prison officials locked down Stafford Creek Correctional Center yesterday after inmates boycotted meals and set fires to protest the cable-TV lineup, recreation schedule and job opportunities at the state's newest prison. Nobody was injured, and no state property was damaged in the disturbances that began Sunday morning, said Doug Waddington, prison superintendent. ...
• Inmates also protested crowding in the gym and weight room of the year-old prison, Waddington said. ...
• Because the prison's infirmary was limited during construction, inmates were selected for their youth and health. ...
• Many of the inmates also lost desirable prison jobs when they were transferred to Stafford Creek, Waddington said. While prisoners who work in fabrication shops for private companies can make nearly the minimum wage, menial jobs inside prison pay much less. ...

The Ironwood Palo Verde College Inmate Program is one of only two programs in the state that allow prison inmates to receive college degrees. ... The inmates take on a full load of classes in addition to other jobs assigned to them by the prison. ... "The program has been extremely successful," says Rick Babb, community resources coordinator of the college program at Ironwood State Prison. Babb also commented that since the program has been in existence he has seen a decrease in gang activity and a breakdown of racial barriers in the prison. ... Textbooks are provided through a program called EOPS, or Extended Opportunity Program and Services, which is a state program that helps those who are economically or educationally disadvantaged. The Distance Education Program is the program that facilitates the program at Ironwood, and is provided for all in the community. Current state law prohibits the college from providing education strictly for inmates, and education must be equally available to the general population of the community. There is only one similar program, which is offered by Patton University to inmates in San Quentin State Prison, in which the university decides who is eligible to participate in the program. ... The California Correctional Peace Officers Association is trying to stop the continuance of the Ironwood- Palo Verde College Inmate program, arguing that state-funded education to inmates is wrong, and cost too much money.

• s, judges highest-paid state workers.
• Sacramento -- As California faces its worst budget deficit in history, the number of state employees making salaries above $100,000 has grown to new heights -- a fivefold increase since 1995. Most of the state's highest-paid employees are judges, prison doctors and state psychiatrists who make between $130,000 and $200,000 a year, a Chronicle review of payroll records revealed. ... The state defends these salaries as competitive with the private sector, but others see the public payroll as out of control. ...
• Gray Davis is threatening layoffs if the state's payroll is not cut. Behind the scenes, state worker unions and the Davis administration are fighting over who gets the best sees their promised pay increases disappear, and who gets salary cuts or layoff notices. Amid the debate, The Chronicle obtained a list from the state controller of the 1,500 highest-paid employees, many working in some of the toughest, hardest-to-fill jobs in government. ... A psychiatrist working for one of the state's four mental hospitals can make a $152,988 salary and often significantly more for working late-night shifts and weekends. One doctor at Napa State Hospital made an extra $100,752 in this "medical officer of the day" compensation, the records show. ... Three doctors at Corcoran State Prison, for example, made $114,289, $99,857 and $99,392, respectively, on top of their base salaries. In total, three dozen other prison doctors and state psychiatrists made more than $50,000 apiece in extra-shift pay. Overall, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of state workers making more than $100,000 a year. In 1995, a little more than 1,000 government workers made six-figure salaries -- but now 5,125 employees are in the 100K club, according to Capitol Weekly, which tracks state salaries.
• Almost all of them are staff psychiatrists and doctors at state hospitals and prisons. The chief psychiatrist at the Ironwood State Prison, located in the desolate Sonoran Desert near the Arizona border, made only $8 less than Davis. The highest-paid state employee is Mark Anson, who made $434,526 as the chief investment officer of the California Public Employees' Retirement System. ...
