BRANCH PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC COMPANY Limerick Generating Stations Units 1 and 2  : NOS. 50-352 and 50-353Dd PETITION FOR REVIEW I. DECISION UPON WHICH REVIEW IS SOUGHT The Graterford inmates, intervenors in the above' captioned matter, seek the review of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of a Memorandum and Order filed on February 5, 1935 by the' Atomic Safety and Licensing Board. This Order is entitled, Memorandum and Order Regarding Graterford Prisoners. The' Order denied the Motion of the Graterford inmates for full disclosure of the Graterford evacuation plan. Said inmates had requested a review of the entire evacuation plan for Graterford, had specified an expert in the field of corrections, and had requested that said review be conducted under a protective order of the court. The Licensing Board denied any further disclosure beyond the "sadtized" version of the plan, which had already been made available to the inmates. The inmates appealed this decision to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board on February 8, 1985. On February 12, 8502250878 850225 PDR ADOCK 05000352 O PDR

9 1985, the Appeal Board in a Memorandum and Order denied the in-mates' appeal. This Petition for Review is brought pursuant to 10'C.F.R. 2.786. II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION On September 18, 1981, the inmates for the State Correc-tional Institute at Graterford filed a petition to intervene in the Limerick Licensing proceedings. On June 1, 1982, in a Special Prehearing Conference Order, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board admitted the Graterford. prisoners as a party to this proceeding. See Phil'adelphia Electric ~ Company (Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2) LBP-82-43(a),'15 NRC 1423, 1446 through'1447 (1982). On April 20, 1984, in a Special. Pre-- hearing Conference Order, the Board granted the Graterford inmates twenty days after the. receipt of the evacuation plan f'or Graterford; to'submitospecific contentions,. Through no fault of the inmates, ~ the completion of the evacuation plan.was significantly delayed..

  ~

On December.13,L1984 the Commonwealth sent'to the' prisoners an unclassified (" sanitized")1 copy of the'~ Pennsylvania Bureau of

Corrections,. Radiological Emergency; Response Plan for Graterford (see' Exhibit A) . Chi December 19, 1984, the Graterford inmates moved for anl Order requiring ~ full ~ disclosure by Pennsylvania of the Graterford! plan.- Theyffurther^ moved that the submission of con-tentions' be measured Lfrom the.'re'ceipt of the. uncensored plan. . Their request for the uncensored version'of.the plan was-denied'on
      +

L . l U . / January 29, 1985 by the Licensing Board. Also denied was the i-

                         ' inmates' request for a stay of their twenty day time frame in which to file contentions based upon the expurgated copy of the plan. (TR. 20,842). The inmates appealed said decision to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board. Said appeal was dis-missed by way of Memorandum and Order dated February 12, 1985 by :the Appeal Board. Thus, the inmates respectfully request
that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission review these two previous Orders based.upon the following arguments.
                         - III.: THE GRATERFORD INMATES REQUEST THE REVIEW OF THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

A. The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board and the Atomic

                         - Safety and Licensing Appeal Panel based their decisions upon an
                         - erroneous legal standard,10 C.F.R. 2.790(a) .

B. .The rulings of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board

                         - and the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Panel threatens the Graterford~ prisoners (intervenors) with immediate and serious
                         - irreparable impact, which as a practical matter, could not be alleviated by a later appeal, thus affecting the basic structure of'the proceedings in a pervasive manner.

IV. ARGUMENT A. The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board and the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Panel based their decisions upon an e iia

                                                                        . l erroneous legal standard, 10 C.F.R. 2.790(a).

The Graterford inmates are appealing the denial of their Motion for Full Disclosure of the evacuation plan for the State Correctional Institute at Graterford. While this matter is still pending before the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, the inmates move to have the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to review this interlocutory appeal. In order to allow for the review of such an interlocutory appeal, our courts have indicated that a ruling must meet a twofold test in order that it can be overturned. See Public Service Company of Indiana,(Marble Hill Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2) ALAB-405; 5 NRC 1190, 1192 (1977). Brief" ly stated, this standard indicates that such an appeal must not only be based upon a legally erroneous standard, but also must affect the basic structure of the proceedings in a pervasive or unusual manner, or threaten the petitioner with immediate or irreparable impact which, as a practical matter, could not be alleviated by a later appeal. This section will deal with the first portion of that test and the following section will deal with the second portion of this test. With regard to the contention that the Panel and the Appea: Board utilized a legally erroneous standard, the inmates draw the attention of the NRC to 10 C.F.R. S2.790(a), which states that a balancing test should be utilized when determining the rights of an intervenor to review sensitive information under a protective

Order of the Court. This test should weigh the interests of the

                      " person... urging non-disclosure and the public interest in dis-closure". 10 C.F.R. 2.790(a) and Pacific Gas and Electric Com-RanX (Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2) 5 NRC
                    ' 1398'(1977)      In that particular case, the issue involved the release of the site security plans to interested intervenors.

Said' court ruled that the applicants' request for non-disclosure was outweighed by the public interest in disclosure and allowed for-the intervenors to review portions of the plan under the protective Order of the Court. While this casa deals with evacuation plans of a prison and not the site security plans of a nuclear facility, it is a case of first impression and thus the inmates' contend by analogy that standards utilized for site

                    . security plans are adequate in order to formulate a legal standard for their request for full disclosure of the Bureau of Correctiono evacuation' plan.        The Atomic-Safety and Licensing Board,.in deny-ing the inmates access to the unsanitized version of the evacua-tion plan cited erroneously the standard mentioned in 10 C.F.R.

2 ~. 790 (a) . In their Memorandum'and Order regarding Graterford Prison, dated February 5,1985 (ASLBP No. 81-465-07 OL), they

                   - note on number 3 that this is a case of first impression. In paragraph number 4 they indicate "The need to protect the general public far outweighs the needs of the Graterford prisoners to have present access to full details of an av.acuation plan which                                                            -

F _ ___ -.-. - = _ . _ _ - _ - --- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

is to be implemented only in the event of a nuclear accident were it to occur at Limerick." The prisoners contend that the Board'a interpretation of 10 C.F.R. 2.790(a) is incorrect in that it balances the interests of the general public against the interesta of the Graterford prisoners in deterring their request to full access of the evacuation plan. The inmates contend that the appropriate legal standard would be to weigh the interests of the individual urging non-disclosure, i.e. Pennsyltania Emergency Management Agency,or their subordinate, the Pennsylvania Bureau of Corrections vs. the public interest in disclosure, that being the Graterford inmates designated intervenors' request for the disclosure of the additional details in the evacuation plan. Thus, the Licensing Board has misconstrued the balancing test and failed to apply the appropriate legal standard in its decision making process that resulted in the inmates being denied the op-portunity to inspect the evacuation plan. Furthermore, the Board accepted as a basis for not allow-ing the plan to be reviewed under a protective order, an affidavit signed by Bureau of Corrections Commissioner Glen Jeffes, which was attached to the sanitized version of the evacuation plan. Mr. Jeffes' affidavit reads in paragraph 23, "There have been occur-ronces where attorneys have, or have been suspected of, divulging to inmates material almost as sensitive as this plan. Thus, there is a reasonable suspicion that, even though we are given assurances

by an attorney for the inmates that the plan will not be divulged, that it will be divulged to the inmates in some form or another." The Board in paragraph 5 of their ruling, insists that any con-tention based upon detailed information contained in the plans would, of necessity, violate even the most rigidly drawn protective order. The Board further states that it does not hold to the be-lief that an attorney would overtly disclose the plans, but to discuss any matter, underline any matter, with the prisoners in framing a contention might lead to an inadvertent disclosure Tddda would cmpromise the integrity of the plan. The inmates contend tha the court has once again used an erroneous legaltstandard upon which to make their decision. Under the commission's rules of practice, parties may obtain discovery of any matter relevant to the proceedings, but not privileged. See 10 C.F.R. $2.740(b)l. The inmates in support of their request for full disclosure cite the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board's decision in this matter, dated February 12, 1985, on page 3, which states:

                   "Because disputes often arise concerning matters of a discoverable, yet sensitive nature, protective orders are the favored means of handling such prob-lems. See 10 C.F.R. E2.740(c). Protective orders can be drafted to limit the time and place of access to the sensitive information, as well as the invididuals who may see it. See, e.g., Pacific Gas and E16ctri'c Company (Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1

l and 2) ALAB-600, 12 NRC 3, 14 through 17 (1980); Con- I sumers Power Company, (Midland Plant, Units 1 and 2), LBP-83-5318 NRC 281, 289 through 291, (1983), affi'med r ALAB-764, 19 NRC 633 (1984). Lastly, we have stated on more than on occasion (sic), that we assume pro-tective orders will be obeyed, unles~s good cause is demonstrated as underlined by appropriate affidavits that the individual subject to a potential protective order will not abide by it. Commonwealth' Edison Com-gang. TByron Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2), ALAB-735, 18 NRC 19, 25 through 26 (1983)." The inmates contend that there has yet to be a showing of untrustworthiness of any individual who may be subject to such a protective order as was contemplated in the prior reading. Thus, the Licensing Board has based its decision once again on an inappropriate legal standard. '

                                                                 .      7 p                               Finally, the inmates would like to direct the court's attention to the 'ratirrmle ' that was utilized _ by the ~ Licensing Board in'their decision making' process. Referring to paragraph 3 of the Board's decision, "We, therefore, adopt what the Supreme Court said in Bell vs. Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520 (1979). We defer to
                     -those prison administrators who are responsible for maintaining n

internal order and discipline.

                                                                               ~

issues that the District Court ruled upon included the practice of housing, the practice of double-bunking, enforcement of the so-called publishers only rule, prohibiting inmates from receiv-ing hard covered books, the prohibition against inmates-receipt of packages of food and personal items from outside the institu-tion, the practice of body cavity searches of inmates following contact visits, and the requirement that pre-trial detainees re-main outside the rooms during routine inspections by MCC officiala. See Bell'vs. Wolfish, 47 LW 4507 (May 14, 1979). The inmates contend.that the Pacific Gas and Electric case, supra, which in-o volves the site security plans of a nuclear -facility and lui intervenor's request for disclosure of such under a protective or' der, is-a better guideline for this court to follow than-the one suggested by"the Board, lie.. Bell vs. Wolfish, supra. Forz these reasons, the inmates contend that they,have satisfied:the' initial test regarding lui illegal erroneous standard being utilized in the decision making process. ' 1 B. The rulings of the Atomic Safety and Licensing ~ Board-and the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Panel ~~ threatens'the LGraterford prisoners (intervenors) with'immediate~and' serious irreparable ' impact,~which as a practical' matter, could not'be E i n L L - q1 i

alleviated by a later appeal, thus affecting the basis structure of the proceedings in a pervasive manner. In order for an interlocutory appeal to be heard, the inmates must satisfy the second portion of the test cited in Pacific Gas and Electric, supra. This test involves the inter-venors' ability to go forward despite this ruling and to form valid contentions in the licensing process. The inmates con-tend the denial of access to the unsanitized version of the plan causes an immediate and serious irreparable impact upon their ability to form such contentions. Initially, the inmates contend the unsanitized version of the plan is so overly censored that it is virtually incomprehensible, and thus it is impossible for them to form a reasonable contention based upon the information given. See Exhibit A, sanitized version of the plan, attached. Inmates contend that their safety and well being may not be pro-tected under the current evacuation plan. A review of the sanitized version of the plan reveals little details about the workings of the plan itself. The deletions from said plan are so pervasive that it is unreasonable to force the intervenors to file their contentions based upon such limited information. In-mates further contend that their retention of Major John Case, currently field director for the Pennsylvania Prison Society, past warden of the Bucks County Prison for fifteen years, and a member of the United States Marine Corps for twenty-one years, should have been sufficient to alleviate the fears of the persons requesting non-disclosure. Major Case, while in the United States Marine Corps received a top secret Q classification en-titling him to review matters of national security. Deputy Commissioner Erskine Deramus, testifying before the Licensing Board, indicated that he had known Major Case for over fifteen years and considered him to be a trustworthy individual. He further testified that he would have no problem with Major Case reviewing the plans under the protective order of the court. Thus, the persons wishing to keep the plan classified presented witnesses that agreed with the inmates' contention that a review by their expert under a protective order would be confidential with no fear of disclosure to said inmates. Furthermore, Judge Hoyt, of the Licensing Board, comment-ing on the sanitized version admitted that certain portions were unreadable. As evidence of the overly broad nature of the censor-ship of this plan, the intervenor inmates referred to page Efl-7 which states under Section G:

                    "The SCIG infirmary has a capacity for (deleted) patients."

Deputy Commissioner Deramus testified that all information that was deleted from the plan was confidential and not available in the public domain. The inmates contend that the censorship is so broad that it includes information already within the public domain. They offer a copy of the December, 1984, January 1985 I . edition of Graterfriends, a publication of community and inmate volunteers which is circulated within the Graterford community c as proof of this 'laim. See Exhibit B attached. Page 10 of Graterfriends has an article entitled "SCIG Infirmary Pleases Administrator", authored by Joan Gauker, a community volunteer at SCIG. The third to last paragraph begins, "The extended care or recovery unit has a twenty-five bed capacity broken into four wards". This illustrates the overly broad concept of censorship utilized by the Bureau of Corrections in sanitizing the evacuation plan. It further illustrates the incomprehensible nature of the plan itself. As further evidence of this incomprehensible nature the inmates also draw the court's attention to page E-1-A-1 (Appendix E, Annex 1, Attachment A, page 1) general concept of evacuation. A review of the general concept of evacuation gives the intervenors virtually no idea as to what that concept is, whether it will adequately protect the safety of the inmates and staff, or whether it will assure a safe and secure evacuation from the facility. It has been the inmates' contention throughout that full disclosure of the plan is necessary in order for them to file valid contentions. The inmates note that they have submitted contentions based upon the sanitized version, however, they have reserved the right to file additional contentions based upon the entire plan if this appeal is successful. Furthermore, the con-tentions that were filed are based primarily upon their fears

 '.     ~

that a safe and secure evacuation has not been properly planned and not upon the limited information available in the sanitized version of the evacuation plan. Finally, upon request of Chairman Hoyt at the urging of the NRC staff, the inmates approached their expert, Major Case, and asked what additional information in the plan he would re-quire in order to make a valid judgment regarding the viability of such. Major Case responded that the entire plan was necessary in order to determine the viability of such. His response was predicated upon a review of the sanitized version of which he found little or no information available upon which to make his determination. The inmates' counsel, in response to the same question from Judge Hoyt, listed several specific concerns, in-cluding the number of buses necessary to conduct an evaluation, their availability, the routes to be taken to and from the insti-tution, the security equipment necessary, the weapons necessary to provide safe passage, and the destination to which the inmates would be relocated. Chairman Hoyt, however, rejected both the opinion of Major Case and the additional data of the inmates' attorney and stated in her opinion that the inmates have refused to provide any further information necessary for her to make a decision. ,

       .                                       o V. CONCLUSION Wherefore'it is the' inmates' request that this Honorable Commission allow the interlocutory appeal due to the fact that the inmates have met both tests of the Pacific Gas and Electric case, supra, i.e. that the Licensing Board decision was based on an erroneous legal scandard and that the unavailability of the unsanitized plan, even under protective order, with a recog-nized and trustworthy expert in the field of corrections, sub-stantially alters their ability to form an adequate contention regarding the evacuation plan for the State Correctional Institute at Graterford. Thus, they request that this Commission utilize its powers as outlined in 10 C.F.R. 52.786 and grant the within Petition for Review and to issue an Order accordingly.

l i ATTACllMENT D PROTECTIVE ACTIONS AND { RADIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE CONTROL MEASURES  : I. PROTECIVE ACTIONS i A. Two Basic Protective Actions The two primary protective actions specified for the general public are sheltering and evacuation; these protective actions apply to State Correction Institution Graterford (SCIG). . B. Sheltering Upon PEMA's recommendation to shelter, inmates will be kept Indoors, windows and doors will be closed, and outside air intake will be minimized to the extent possible. During _the summer months when high ambient temperatures and humidity 4 may necessitate opening of windows in the inmates cells in order to prevent serious medical problems, " sheltering" as specified here, may not be fully implementable. To compensate for this situation the COEMT will request, through PEMA, that a DOE plume monitoring team of two persons be sent to SCIG. This DOE team's mission will be to provide continuous air monitoring outside and inside the cell blocks, and based upon the actual readings at SCIO, advise the SCIG Superintendent with regard ~ to. the actual need for sheltering. For example, even though (v sheltering is officially recommended for the entire 360'-10 mile radius EPZ, the team at SCIG could assure the superintendent, and the inmat'es as well, that only background levels are detectable (if that's the case, i of course) and windows could remain open. In like manner, the team will l Indicate if a radioactive plume reaches SCIG, and how long it stays before

                         ~             dispersing or decaying. The team will give its recommendations directly to the SCIO Superintendent as well as its own reporting channel. The Superintendent will relay the information to PEMA via the COEMT and will take interim actions as per his best judgment. After, consultation l             ,.                       with BRP, PEMA will issue instructions for the institution to follow and j                           '
                                     .these will be official actions which the institution will implement. Note:

The special arrangement for the DOE team at SCIO pertains only to open (closed) windows when sheltering has been recommended during the high ambient temperature months.

                             . C.. Evacuation                                  '

B. Inmates i KI tablets will be available for inmates and when appropriate (the Department of Health recommends when KI should be taken) will be offered to each inmate. . g Additionally, in each cell block and other areas utilized by inmates, two

     '                                self-reading dosimeters (a CD V-730 or DCA-622 and a CD V-742) and' a TLD will be placed in suitable stationary locations and read at least each      .

30 minutes by staff personnel. A record of the readings from the self-reading dosimeters and their respective locations will be maintained. . C. Decontamination Monitoring Should evacuation.be implemented each employee and inmate will undergo

                                   - decontamination monitoring at the relocation site.

December 1984 Volume II Number 9 and January 1985 RE-ENTRY SHOCK SEMINAR A BIC SUCCESS - SUBJECT NEEDS MORE ATTENTION

                          " Prisons release men out into the public with no damn way to make it.         The responsibility is on the public to support or help the man, because when he's cold or hungry he will prey on the public ... Also, men must do time one foot in and one foot out of prison. It's hard to do, but we must train more men E about what to do when they get out ..."        - Norman Pearson                               ,
                                "You must prepare inside for the outside. Identify skills you need and zero in on those with perseverance ... We need meetings like this and a concern for re-entry shock. People inside have problems relating to the

            " Don't make it easy for the men by saying it will be OK when they are out.             It isn't.

           "I was a career criminal.        I thought society owed me, and I took. I have been going in          l and out of jails since '59.              I just stopped Thursday ..." - Stephen Rines
            ... and, so it went at the CIVICS (Concerned Inmates and Volunteers in Correctional Sarvice) Re-Entry Shock Seminar last month at the Montgomery County Community College. The l commznts above are from ex-offenders who participated in the session's opening panel - which j proved to be a highlight of the day. Serving on the panel were Lopes, Pearson, Mitchell, McKinnon, Rines and Charles Freeman.

The Re-Entry Shock Seminar was the idea of five SCIC inmates who kept seeing men return to prison, wondered why, and set about to see if something can be done about it. The five men, who are Kenneth Tervalon, Leo Walloe, Bebly Wells, Maurice Talley and Rines (who was released two days before the seminar), planned the seminar and set the agenda for the day , with the help of some volunteers over the past year. By the end of the seminar, the 60 people in attendance were in total agreement that the l cubjzet is one which needs more attention, and that the panel of ex-of fenders should i participate in many more such seminars to get their stories out. CIVICS' goal is to establish better communication between the prison cyctem and the community to provide for less re-entry shock for both the ex-offender and the community when the person is released from prison. Marie Tervalon served as moderator for the panel and coordinator for , tha day's events which also included discussion sessions and a lunch at l which Arthur Clark served as keynote speaker. Clark is executive , I, director for the Pennsylvania Program for Justice. Inc. - i "Not only are we helping others, but they are helping us," Marie . Tarvolon said as she open the session. "The greatest thing about this cszinar is that it came from the men within the prison." EXHIBIT "B" {

cloco. Through the efforts of Deputy Superintendent Thomas D. Stachelek end his Christmas committee, which included staff representation from all pertinent areas of the institution as well as the leaders of the inmates socini organizations and an active participation by our volunteer groups, wa are able this year to provide many more services and benefits to all inmntes in recognition of the season. I am very pleased with the accomplishments the committee has made, and I cincerely hope that the Christmas package, the special events and programs, the availability of a package to be purchased from an outside vandar, and the decorations all serve to make the holiday season merry. I think it appropriate at this time of the year to thank everyone for th2ir efforts throughout 1984. My thanks go to Mattie Humphrey and Joan Gaukcr, as well as all of their supporters and active volunteers who have h31 ped us during this past year. I am thankful to the inmates in Graterford who have helped in our efforts throughout this past year to operate the institution, to clean up the institution, to develop new and better programs, and to uniformly maintain operating procedures. Special thanks go to all of the staff who by their daily work contribute to a smooth and cofe operation. Many of them contribute far above and beyond merely putting in their time, and I know it is recognized not only by myself, but by inmates, volunteers, and visitors throughout the year. To single out evsryone would be an impossible task but I do express my appreciation to cll of the above and my wishes for a very happy and successful 1985. I am looking forward in 1985 to continue to improve our operation, to cccommodate the needs of the courts, and hopefully to see many inmates cchieve parole and leave Graterford for the last time. In other cases, I h:pe to see many more inmates in pre-release programs, entering Community Snrvice Centers, or at least progressing to the point where they are working cnd perhaps living outside of the main perimeter. We stand ready to assist thcan of you who wish to progress in.,this direction and we will support you wh;n and where we can. As always*, the individual challenge is up to you, ths individual man. I close by wishing all a very Merry Christmas, a happy holiday season to all non-Christians who must feel the spirit of the times, cnd to all a very happy, peaceful, and successful New Year. Charles Zimmerman i SCIG Superintendent l PROGRAM REVIEW COMMITTEE STATISTICS Because inmates have questioned the justice available when they are br ught before the institution's Program Review Committee (PRC), l Superintendent Charles Zimmerman provided GRATERFRIENDS with this information. The PRC is the first level of hearings for an inmate with a misconduct or write-up. From the first of this year to Oct. 24, the PRC entertained a total of 352 cppeals by inmates. ,0f this number, 288 or 81% were sustained.

       -Of the remaining-64,--22 were amended or otherwise reduced to a Class II miccanduct.          Twenty (20) were exonerated and the remaining 22 were not

      "TAKE ME TO THE WATER" USHERS 27 TO SCIG BAPTISM                   by Joan Gauker Under a banner which says "In Christ you are a new creation,"

27 men were baptised into the Christian faith at the SCIG chapel recently. Chaplain Nathaniel Williams conducted the baptisms (his lith annual  ! baptism service at SCIG) while he and an assistant were standing in j waist-deep water in the chancel area by the alter. Each man was gently i halped into the water, his name followed by the words of baptism were I intoned by the Rev. Williams, and then the man was fully submerged in the cct of baptism by Rev. Williams and an assistant. Each man approached the pool hearing the congregation sing "Take Me To The Water", led by the Rev. Margurite Miles. Preceding the baptisms, Rev. Miles gave the message in which she called en Christians to lose themselves in Christ - but to beware of just being l go d. "Some are so good they are good for nothing," she said. She l reminded the congregation that brokeness is overcome by healing, and Christ i in the greatest healer. The chapel seats were full for the service which included uplifting music, prayer, spirit-filled messages, recognition and fellowship. Those baptised are: WILLIAM EDNEY, KEVIN BAYARD, GARY JORDAN, FREDERICK CANNON, COLUMBUS ROSS, CHARLES JENKINS, LARNELL WOODS, REMIGIO COLON, LEONARD WRIGHT, HARRISON MANIGAULT, SAMUEL THOMAS, RICARDO CORTEZ, ELWOOD DANIELY, ROBERT JOHNSON, WARREN ROBINSON, RICHARD BRINSON, JAMES ' MANCE, RODNEY SMITH, JONATHAN MAPLE, GREGORY PRATT, RAYMOND LEE, PATRICK PERRY, ROBERT SINGLEY, GREGORY WILLIAMS, ALEXANDRO LOURIDO, LARRY JONES End MARION JACOBS.

PRISON LITERACY PROJECT - UPDATE by: Rosemary Dugan and Ziyadah A. Musawwir The philosophy "cach one, teach one" is underway at Graterford. Since the Prison Literacy Project tutoring began in early September, the results have been tremendous with the number of students increasing weekly to a Nov. I total of 69. Twenty-six inmates have completed the teacher training and have begun tutoring fellow inmates. Another 40 inmates are in the process of becoming certified tutors. The inmate tutors will also supplement the outmate volunteers' efforts to ensure a continuous learning experience for the student. The outmate and inmate tutors are

set one's own goals. The Prison Literacy Project's purpose is not only to increase the reading level of a student, but also to develop his awareness of his own capabilities and magnificence. The PLP has several needs. One need is to enroll tutors who can teach English as a second language to the Hispanic population. Another need is < for transportation from West Philly and Center City to Graterford at a renconable price. The PLP's first fund-raising project, held in November, was a success, not only financially but in the experiences gained in interacting with other groups within the community. However, there is still a need for funds for the literacy program and contributions may be sent to PRISON PROJECT, INC., P. O. Box 59356, Philadelphia, PA 19102-9356. 248-3494.

In September, Shoemake enrolled as a student in the Prison Literacy Project cnd has been also tutored by an outmate volunteer twice weekly with the Laubach Literacy method. Through his dedication and determination, Shoemake has not only been an incpiration to everyone in the program for the remarkable progress he has mada, but also has grown from not being able to read simple labels to drc:ms of being a playwrite.

     ... More than 400 SCIC inmates walked inside the SCIC prison yard to benefit the Deborah HCrt and Lung Center in Brown Mills, NJ this fall. Tney raised $300. Volunteer Karen S;nis wrote a letter to the Phila. Daily News to ask why this positive effort by the men was n:t covered by the news media, as had been requested, but negative occurrances are always cav2 red. A good question, Karen.
     ... It is currently estimated there are 7,086 existing facilities for incarcerating people in the U.S., and 765,929 people being detained in these facilities.

W :::ss  ::: ANOTHER LETTER TO THE EDITOR WE READ CRAN AMICOS (the Spanish edition of CRATERFRIENDS), but sincerely could not cpprsciate how one can speak of the Hispanic community when no activities or programs pracantly exist for this community's benefit. To explain, take the article, "Zimmerman Reports Parole Stance." It is a fact that one th:uld learn and better himself because it will benefit him in the future. In this institution we have many Hispanics who are near their minimum sentence or are "way-over" th2ir minimum release date. For these people there are no opportunities, simply because no praccnt programs or agencies can assist them in obtaining their liberty. For the English-Americans there are many programs and agencies assisting them. When Hispanic rasidents submit a Home and Job Plan to the Parole Board for approval, they are rejected and d:nicd, having to start all over again and find another home and job. This is very difficult to do in today's world, particularly without assistance, no programs, no agencies. Since we are speaking about the Hispanic community at Craterford, we also have to l mention that we do not have any Spanish programs in here, everything is in English. There 10 cne Hispanic teacher who teaches English classes during the day only. Many of us work I c;d don't have sufficient time to attend the day classes regularly. Aside from this, there has to be an incentive for the prisoner to motivate and drive him to betterment. The l pr:cnnt wage is insufficient in today's cost of living. Many of us are married and have children out there, whom we should and must help. Again, every program that exists is in English, none in Spanish. The Hispanic community has many important immediate needs, and if we cannot get help or cocietance with these needs, we cannot look for betterment of self. Race or nationality thould have no importance. What should be important is that we are people in need of help. Dua to the circumstances in life, we find ourselves in here, but this does not mean we are inccpable of learning and bettering ourselves. . In closing, we note that we do not find the educational department interesting. It is i tru] volunteers come at night to teach classes, but again none speak Spanish to assist and tccch us, so we cannot attend or participate. If it is possible to find English-speaking v0lunteers, then it is also possible to find Spanish-speaking volunteers so we can l participate. Then we, too, can look forward to, and think of a better future each and every d;y. Thank you for your attention. Jorge Solis H-7846 Jose Cruz H-3521 9

SCIG INFIRMARY PLEASES ADMINISIRAIDE by Josn ceuker Donald McMonagle, SCIC infirmary administrator, is proud of the infirmary and its ctoff. He is particularly pleased with the many operational and physical plant improvements which have taken place recently or are underway currently - all of which are for the benefit of SCIC inmates, he told a visitor recently. Everywhere one looks in the infirmary, there is renovation or new equipment in place. Alto pleasant personnel are dealing with patients or their records in the various rooms which make up the infirmary. Among the new equipment in place are a complete new dental unit including chair and cccompanying dental instruments, along with a renovated units a new eye-exam unit of chair, sy2-Gxam instruments, a slit-lamp (to see if something is in the eye) and a contact lens machine; a spanking new X-ray unit along with automatic film processing equipment s a totally cutomatic EKG machine which utilizes telephone lines and a computer hook-up to a hospital fcr cnalyzing a patient and reporting back to SCIC a computerized pharmacy on the premises cnd cn emergency computer phone system which pinpoints the location in the institution from which an emergency call has been made on the 300 line - should the caller not be able to ctcy by the phone. However, among other things such as scheduling and meetings, McHonagle says he is faced d ily with two big problems personnel turnover and security.

         "We have considerable staff turnover," McMonagle said, adding that "to work here it tckno a special individual with not only the needed skills, but also the ability to adapt to the correctional environment." Often the inmates threaten the staff, and inmates can be v;ry aggressive. For health reasons or other reasons, McMonagle said, some people cannot h:1dle this environment.

McMonagle calls security a " big problem," and said he meets daily with the captains to discuss particular problems. He was quick to affirm a " good working relationship with the c:rr:ctional officers." One way McMonagle is dealing with the personnel turnover problem is to contract with a turcing agency for infirmary nurses. More than 20 nurses are provided round the clock by the cgency. This is a major change in infirmary operation and is working out well, he said, mark dly improving the continuity of care provided to the inmates. The infirmary is not a hospital, McMonagle points out. It provides clinical, emergency c;d inpatient extended and recovery care, he said, with no provision for surgical work. In tha clinic, sick call is conducted Monday through Friday receiving men who have signed up in the morning on each block. At sick call, the problem is assessed by a physician who either tr cts the problem or refers the man to the infirmary for additional treatment. Men unable to be cared for at the infirmary are sent by ambulance to area hospitals. On staff at SCIC, either fulltime or partime in the infirmary program are 15 cpecialists, including a neurologist s ophthalmologist s optometrist s podiatrist s d:rmatologists internal medicine specialist g general surgeons orthopedic appliances (braces) cpecialist; audiologists urologist ear, nose & throat specialists two consultants: two ctcff doctors: two dentists: a dental hygienists four RNs headed by Judy Ritters two Emergency Medical technicians: four LPNs five clerks: and a Clerk Supervisor. The infirmary also houses a dental lab where men are taught how to make prosthetics (false t :th). The x-ray technician is on contract. McMonagle, who has been at SCIG since 1969, recalled previous practices of staffing a 1:t cf the infirmary positions with inmates. "I used to train inmates in surgical procedure and in using the X-ray equipment," McMonagle said. "Then they could get good jobs when they 1 ft here." But times are different now, and the only inmates working in the infirmary are c3 j:nitors. The extended care or recovery unit has a 25-bed capacity broken into four wards. A-ward is f:r contagious patients - an isolation unit, and D-ward, with 10 beds, is for patients with emotional problems. Long-term patients,-such as paraplegics, live in B-ward. The infirmary's records unit is crowded with the medical records of every SCIC inmate, i;21rding any previous medical record, the first-day-at-SCIG assessment and the complete physical exam a few days later, along with the medical records accumulated in SCIC. McMonagle said there will continue to be crowding and renovations to accommodate the infirmary needs until the new psychiatric and medical administrative unit is complete at SCIC in 1987 - something to which this administrator said he is looking forward for cvaryone's sake. 10 (.

O A LOOK AT THE SCIG GANSE APOTHECARY by Joan Gauker  ;

               "The saddest thing is the men don't show up for their medication," the pharmacist told a visitor to the Ganse Apothecary at SCIG.

Pharmacist Gerry Ganse said this is unfortunate for the men who need the medication, and is time consuming for his staff which fills hundreds of new prescriptions a day for inmates and about 100,000 doses each month. Bscause blister packsthe for medication (if pills) is individually hermetically sealed in each patient, some unused pills may be returned to inventory - and each month this adds up to 20,000 to 30,000 doses, Ganse ccid. Creams, eye drops, etc., are also individually dispensed, but are usually not returned to inventory if unused. The exciting news is that the Ganse Apothecary is computerized - which means th9 pharmacymedicationstaff. safety for the inmates, and fast, efficient operation for Medication safety is achieved when a patient's medical profile is called up on the computer screen. There the pharmacist checks tha newly prescribed medication against the inmate's medical history and cgainst possibleany other medication the inmate may be taking, to check for reactions. Doctors rotate on sick call at SCIG, making this role of the pharmacist vital to the health of the inmates treated. The efwiciency is realized each time this verification can be done so quickly at-1 when the pharmacist pushes a computer button and instantly receives the' required number of labels to be attached to the inmate's p2cses and the medication. Four times a day, nurses leave the pharmacy with medication carts for ctcps on each block to dispense medication. An inmate arrives on the m:dication line on his block with his medication pass, and his medication 10 dispensed (if a pill, it is popped out of the blister pack) to him. He 10 provided a cup and water, and takes the medication there in the presence of a correctional officer and the nurse. Unfortunately, many who asked for cnd need medicine don't show up. , SCIGGanse Apothecary is a contract operation, which has been in business at since March.

              "We are fortunate to have a registered pharmacy right here in the institution," Infirmary Administrator Donald McMonagle said "that means prCCcriptions are filled the same day." At most other state institutions   ,

tha prescriptione, are filled at a pharmacy off site, which often causes a two-day delay in getting needed medication to the patient, McMonagle said.

             "It's one of the biggest medical improvements in this operation in yCars,"

tha McMonagle said of the computerized system. system used by Ganse. "I like I think it's great." ( '

MASJID: CONGREGATIONAL PLACE OF BELIEVERS by Abdullah Shah F-4687 The Arabic word, "masjid", literally translhted means, "the place of prostration." The masjid is the place of public prayer and it is the place where all believers are encouraged to come and perform their prayers at the appointed times - preferably in congregation. On Fridays, Jumu'a Services are conducted in the masjid. Jumu'a Services consists of a khutbah (sermon, address) of two parts and a two rak'ah prayer. A rak'ah is a unit of the prayer and consists of standing, bowing, sitting, and prostrating at specified times during the performance of salaah (prayer). The word "jumu' " means " congregational prayer," and "Yauma-l-Jumu'a," means, "the Day of the Congregational Prayer" - Friday. It is related that a man entered the masjid while Prophet Muhammad (pacce be upon him) was leading the believers in prayer. When the man entered, Prophet Muhammad and the believers were in the bowing position (ruku). So the man bowed right where he was at before joining the ranks of the believers. After the completion of the prayer, he mentioned his act to the prophet. The Prophet said to him, "May Allah increase your love for the good. But do not repeat it again (bowing in that way)." Prophet Muhammad was encouraging the man to perform his prayers in congregation - in unity - with the other believers. It is obligatory upon the believer to perform his five daily prayers and he is encouraged, no - cdmonished to perform his prayers in congregation with other believers when ho can. Again, Prophet IM.w. .ad ould danc die poym in waymegatJLosi taas 27 times greater blessings than the prayer performed alone. So, the masjid stands as a place for the coming together of believers for the-purpose of worshipping Almighty God in unity and in harmony. The maajid is where.anyone who believes in Almighty God can come and praise His namo,. Allah.m . .

                                                                                             .I "Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny.

ripple.of hope,and crossing each other from a million different centers,of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
