• US CA: Audit Finds Deficiencies At Wasco Prison.
• AUDIT FINDS DEFICIENCIES AT WASCO PRISON .
• Poor management and careless upkeep over several years has "needlessly endangered both staff and inmates" at Wasco State Prison, according to a scathing state audit released Friday. ...
• Those deficiencies caused two high-profile April incidents there: a seven-hour prison power outage and inmate procurement of confidential, personal staff information, it said. ...
• The auditors also offered scores of recommendations for shoring up security, infrastructure and staff training at the 8-year-old prison. ...
• The prison houses 6,000 inmates in minimum- and medium-custody facilities and at a reception center. ...
• "Although these conditions have not yet caused any serious repercussions, an unnecessarily risky atmosphere will remain until Wasco resolves these problems," the audit said. ...
• Assemblyman Dean Florez, D-Shafter, requested the state audit after the blackout and information leak. ...
• Officials at Wasco and the California Department of Corrections "concurred with our findings and recommendations and are taking corrective actions," the report also said. ...
• Candelaria, however, called the audit an opinion piece by people with no experience in state corrections and said the citing of problems and suggestions for improvement really came from him and his staff. ...
• It's also unfair for the auditors to bash management "with a broad brush" when more than 1,200 people work at the prison, Candelaria said. ...
• The auditors concluded, among other things, that Wasco has a backlog of incomplete maintenance and repairs to critical equipment and that failure to repair defective equipment four years ago caused the power outage. ...
• Prison staff weren't trained to handle the blackout, they said. ...   The incident, they said, raises questions about Wasco's Y2K readiness. ...
• What frightened Florez most in the audit, he said, is that inmates had access to detailed maps of the prison showing the location of critical equipment, armories and hazardous-material storage areas. ...
• "I hope he sees he has an opportunity ( to fix prison problems ) and seizes that opportunity," Florez said, "or he takes his chances with the governor, who appoints wardens. ...

• California prisoners would be forbidden to smoke — and required to kick the habit cold turkey — under a bill that passed its first test in the state Assembly on Tuesday. ...
• Assemblyman Tim Leslie (R-Tahoe City) also said his legislation, passed by the Public Safety Committee, could save the state as much as $280 million a year in inmate medical costs, though the Department of Corrections could not confirm that figure.
• Others predicted that banning cigarette sales at prison canteens would make a pack of smokes more valuable than ever as contraband. ...
• In California, smoking is already prohibited at eight of the state's 32 prisons — those that serve as medical facilities or as reception centers for incoming inmates. At one, Wasco State Prison in Kern County, inmates staged a brief strike, refusing to report to their jobs, the day after the ban was imposed.
• Leslie calculates that a smoking ban would cause a related decline in smoking-related diseases and save the state "big dollars. ...
• His figures come from a state Department of Health Services study that found each California smoker racks up $3,500 per year in smoking-related health-care costs. ...
• The bill, by Assemblyman Paul Koretz (D-West Hollywood), comes in the wake of a report by a government watchdog agency that found California parolees leave prison unprepared to find work, stay off drugs and function on the outside. As a result, the report by the Little Hoover Commission found, two out of three ex-convicts wind up back in prison. ...

There is nothing to restrict the flow of information to the public about the operation of the state’s prison system. ... Being able to visit whenever one wants and with whom one wants are among the rights criminal offenders lose when they come to prison. ... It is not Department policy to punish inmates because they contact media or criticize prison programs or operations. Inmates have been disciplined, however, for conspiracy in attempting to circumvent the rules of prison operations, offenses they were aware would bring penalties just as they were aware breaking laws would land them in prison. In repealing most of the Inmate Bill of Rights in 1994, lawmakers intended that prison inmates have only those rights guaranteed by the Constitution. ... Those that are housed in state prison should not be treated as celebrities. Just as the Legislature has enacted a ban upon activities which would allow a criminal to profit materially from his crime, so should prison officials prevent media exposure that allows the criminal to enjoy the notoriety at the expense of others. ...

• Has lock-’em-up Davis suddenly developed a deep empathy for the state’s 618 condemned men and women, many of whom have been living in the deteriorating San Quentin prison for a decade or more with poor health care, substandard mental-health treatment and overcrowded exercise yards? .
• The more likely explanation is that Davis is trying to toughen up his image (a Democrat can never be tough enough) while helping out his number-one fan, the prison guards’ union. ...
• The prison, built in 1852 on a bluff overlooking the San Francisco Bay, is a relic from another time. Inmates who built the prison — originally designed to hold 68 — hauled bricks during the day and slept on a ship at night. ...

• Beyond all that, what the guards fear most, they say, is a breakout — some unprecedented escape with dozens of desperadoes pouring out of the prison and into the streets of San Rafael, Berkeley and San Francisco. Twice in recent years condemned inmates and other prisoners have managed to wrest free of confinement, only to be quickly caught while still on prison grounds. ...
