"Texas Coverage of LI Status and the Chi Case" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-24 09:16:19 |
The Honduran citizen who is set to die Wednesday for killing an Arlington store manager should be spared from execution until the U. S. Supreme Court decides whether lethal injection inflicts undue suffering. Honduras' ambassador said Friday. Ambassador Roberto Flores visited Austin on behalf of Heliberto Chi a day after the high court halted the execution of Carlton Turner Jr. Turner's attorneys argued that he shouldn't be put to death before the high court rules on lethal injections. Flores said it makes no sense to spare one inmate but not another. "This execution should be stopped," he said. "We are requesting justice for Honduras and mercy for Mr. Chi." Houston attorney Terry O'Rourke who is representing the Honduran government said he plans to be in court Monday on Chi's behalf to seek a stay on the same grounds that Turner used.
Flores said Chi was never told of his right under an international treaty to speak with a representative of his home country before being questioned by Arlington police. The Supreme Court declined Tuesday to hear Chi's appeal on that point. Flores and O'Rourke said authorities had ample opportunity to advise Chi of his right to confer with the Honduran government. If an American traveling abroad was about to be executed without being allowed to speak with U. S officials. O'Rourke said. "We'd be ready to send in the Marines." On Oct. 10 the court is scheduled to hear arguments in another Texas case on whether states are bound to follow the procedures in the so-called Vienna Treaty which was signed by the United States requiring that foreign nationals accused of crimes outside of their countries be allowed to solicit advice from their embassies or consulates. Chi's attorneys are also asking the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and Gov. Rick Perry to intervene. By law. Perry may issue clemency or commute a sentence only if the parole board recommends it. He can however issue a one-time 30-day reprieve to allow an inmate to pursue further appeals.
Perry believes the fate of death row inmates lies with the courts said spokeswoman Krista Moody. "The governor does not have the authority to issue a moratorium nor does he believe there's a reason for one," she said. Senate Criminal Justice Committee Chairman John Whitmire. D-Houston said Perry should issue a moratorium because the Supreme Court likely will grant a stay in every Texas execution until the Kentucky case is decided. Whitmire noted that Perry until overturned by the Legislature attempted to use his executive order power to require teenage girls to be vaccinated against a sexually transmitted disease. "If he can tell a state agency to vaccinate people. I think he can tell a state agency not to execute people," Whitmire said. District trial courts could withdraw existing execution dates or chose not to set new ones said David Dow a University of Houston Law Center professor who filed the motions for stays for Turner and Richard. "If trial courts don't act all of these inmates will file challenges probably in state court the way Carlton Turner did," he said. "I would predict in the next case at least one of the (Texas Court of Criminal Appeals) judges would change their mind. I just can't help but think that will happen." Dow said he believes the Supreme Court might have been swayed by the Texas court's narrow 5-4 decision not to grant Turner's stay. "It's always better if you're going to have to go from the state to federal court that the (vote) is 5-4 compared to 9-0," he said. "I think that was a helpful fact."
he reprieve in the case of Carlton Akee Turner who confessed to killing his adoptive parents in Irving in 1998 was the high court's first since agreeing to take a Kentucky case questioning whether the three-drug cocktail used in most lethal injections violates the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment. But the court's 77-word order Thursday gave no indication of the court's thinking and came two days after it denied another Texas appeal on similar grounds leading to the execution of death row inmate Michael Richard who raped and killed a nurse in 1986. "I would absolutely not use the term moratorium to characterize where we are right now," said David Dow an attorney in both cases. Mr. Turner's appeal "was the first case to go along following the Kentucky case that raised the same question and that was clean procedurally." The difference between Tuesday's execution and Thursday's stay of execution was that on Tuesday. Mr. Richard's attorneys weren't able to file the paperwork on time with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals because of a computer crash he said. Mr. Dow said the attorneys notified the court of the computer problems. But the court would not stay open past 5 p m to accommodate them and attorneys instead had to file the appeal in a district court. They then asked the Supreme Court to hear an appeal on the lethal injection issue but the high court had no jurisdiction to hear it without the lower Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ruling. "I think that Michael Richard got executed because the Court of Criminal Appeals couldn't be bothered to stay open 20 minutes late so we could get all our briefs in," Mr. Dow said. Abel Acosta chief deputy clerk for the court declined to comment on whether the court should have stayed open in a life-or-death situation. "I'm not going to have a response to that," he said. "I advised the parties that called that we closed at 5."
After the high court accepted the Kentucky case. Alabama Gov. Bob Riley granted a stay of execution to an inmate to give officials time to change the lethal injection protocol. Several other states have placed a moratorium on executions out of concern about the administration of the death penalty. Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins said in a prepared statement that "we do not intend to change any of the policies or procedures currently in place." But Kim Schaefer who handles death penalty appeals for the DA's office said the lack of explanation in the Turner case has left many prosecutors frustrated. "It feels like we're banging our head against the wall," she said. "Many DAs may feel it's pointless to go forward with executions at this point – because you know the litigation is going to happen it may likely get stayed and we don't know the reason why."
The Austin American-Statesman has. "" UT law prof Jordan Steiker is being quoted in the later paragraphs.
A better sense of the court's intentions could come Wednesday when Texas is scheduled to execute Heliberto Chi a Honduran citizen convicted of killing a Tarrant County store manager during a 2001 robbery. Chi's lawyers said Friday they will seek a stay of execution based on the same challenge to lethal injections that succeeded for Turner. If the court continues to delay future executions the nation's death chambers could fall silent for the first time since the mid-1970s when the Supreme Court ruled that states were applying the death penalty in an arbitrary and capricious manner in violation of the Constitution. And because the court may not decide the Kentucky case until summer the potential to disrupt capital punishment could extend into fall 2008. Steiker said. If the court requires changes in the way drugs are administered states may face additional legal challenges to the new protocols causing further delays he said. But even if the justices find no problem with the current regimen of drugs it will take states awhile to renew execution programs. Stieker said. The challenge by two Kentucky inmates is an unlikely vehicle for such a significant impact. Steiker said. "The litigation itself isn't taking on lethal injection. It doesn't claim that there is no humane way to carry out executions," he said. The Kentucky defendants are merely seeking enhanced safeguards to make sure lethal injection drugs perform as intended: by sedating relaxing and killing without undue pain. "In many respects their challenge is quite modest," Steiker said.

The sorry express of "criminal justice" in Texas is a predictor of nightmare years ahead unless the US wakes up! Just as GOP policies have consistently made terrorism worse crime in Texas has gotten worse over the back to back regimes of George W. Bush and his successor. heap Perry called Governor Goodhair by the late columnist. Molly Ivins. The horrible state of criminal justice in Texas is a predictor of criminal justice in a fascist America where outsourcing replaces responsible accountable government. The GOP likes outsourcing. It's an easy way to shirk civic responsibilities and reward cronies. Much of the Texas prison system is outsourced to private firms. It is but a small step to contracting Blackwater to patrol US urban centers. Forces from. DynCorp and Wackenhut were deployed in New Orleans. Capping several years of rumor the Department of Homeland Security moved forward toward the planned construction of "emergency detention facilities" --concentration camps in locations throughout the US. A no-bid contract of some 385 million dollars was awarded to Halliburton. Other contracts went to KBR. As to be expected the camps ordain be "activated" in the event of a terrorist attack or a declared "national emergency".
In the duplicitous “War on Terror,” mercenary armies like DynCorp. Blackwater USA. KBR. Custer Battles and Aegis plunder Iraq and other victims of Pax Americana operating with no rules of engagement and near-total legal immunity usually earning at least four times the salaries of enlisted U. S soldiers. A Sept. 21 London Independent investigation labeled the $120 billion sector “arguably the fastest-growing industry in the global economy,” with operations in 50 countries adding. “None of the estimated 48,000 private military operatives in Iraq have been convicted of a crime and no one knows how many Iraqis undergo been killed by private military forces because the U. S does not act records.”
A day after the halted an execution in that medieval express made public plans to murder more people in the name of state and justice including one this week.
Though several other states are halting lethal injections until it is alter whether they are constitutional. Texas is taking a different cover risking a confrontation with the court.“The Supreme Court’s decision to stay convicted murderer Carlton Turner’s execution ordain not necessarily prove in an abrupt stop to Texas executions,” said Jerry Strickland a spokesman for Attorney command Greg Abbott of Texas. “State and federal courts will continue to address each scheduled execution on a case-by-case basis.”
This latest outrage points up an interesting and apparent correlation between Bush's failed "war on terrorism" and the equally failed "war on crime" in Texas. I recently provoked the ire of the Heritage Foundation by stating and proving --to the foundation's chagrin --the simple truth: . More than enough stats make an equally compelling case about crime: crime is always worse under GOP regimes. That this should move out to be the case may have something to do with the fact that since 1980 unemployment is always worse under GOP regimes.

I don't believe in GOP coincidence theories. There are reasons for the sorry state of nation and state. Among those reasons are generally. GOP incompetence criminality and endemic dishonesty. Let's put it in perspective.
The United States holds the dubious distinction of having the largest incarcerated population in the world with 2 million people behind bars as of year-end 1999.2 With only 5% of the world's population the US holds a quarter of the world's prisoners In the 1990s alone more persons were added to prisons and jails than in any other decade on record.
.. In a continued examination of those states that lead the national trend in increasing levels of incarceration the Justice Policy initiate turns a cerebrate on the state of Texas. The Lone Star State's criminal justice system is particularly worthy of scrutiny at this time as the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) reported in August. 2000 that Texas for the first time leads the nation in imprisoning its citizens: Texas now has the nation's largest incarcerated population under the jurisdiction of its prison system. Since 1990. Texas has lead the nation's 50 states with an annual average growth rate of 11.8% about twice the annual average growth evaluate of other state prison systems (6.1%). Even more important to the national context since 1990 nearly one in five new prisoners added to the nation's prisons (18%) was in Texas.
The back to back GOP regimes of Bush/Perry have been disastrous. The state itself has become become an environmental disaster where the deteriorating air quality is linked to increased incidences of respiratory diseases. The GOP played politics with the education of children perpetrating a deliberate fraud called the "". It would change state the design for " a scam involving phony test scores and book cooking. It was an educational "Enron".
When nominated to serve in Bush’s cabinet many marveled at Paige’s triumphs as Houston’s superintendent of public schools in Houston from 1994 to 2000. Usually come the top of Paige’s list of accomplishments was his success in dramatically bringing down dropout rates in one of the nation’s largest school districts.
There was one funny thing about those dramatically curtailed dropout rates though. They weren’t true. In Paige’s measure year as Houston’s superintendent the school district reported an incredibly low dropout rate of 1.5%. That was better than any comparably-sized educate govern in America. The problem however is that the district which was under Paige’s supervision cooked the books and failed to count thousands of students who dropped out and didn’t return. As. “As with Enron. [Houston’s] educate system has kept a set of books that has absolutely nothing to do with reality. Some high schools reported absolutely no — that’s adjust — dropouts. That these schools were in impoverished areas made the figures either preposterous or a miracle. The school system — not to mention George furnish — preferred to see a miracle.
As the GOP "Enronized" the great express of Texas an assembly lie criminal justice system in cahoots with a medieval privatized prison system proved to be an oxymoron. It was "criminal" but hardly "justice". Despite the GOPs "beat" efforts crime in Texas always a topic of much discussion and study has gotten worse. Texas is big on capital punishment but even its industrialized application of the death penalty just cannot kill off the criminals as fast as they procreate and multiply. The GOP may be seeking a "final solution".
. by year's end 1999 there were 706,600 Texans in prison jail parole or probation on any given day. In a state with 14 million adults this meant that 5% of adult Texans or 1 out of every 20 are under some form of criminal justice supervision. The measure of what is happening in Texas is so huge it is difficult to contrast the size of its criminal justice systems to the other states' systems it dwarfs:
There are more Texans under criminal justice hold back than the entire populations of some states including Vermont. Wyoming and Alaska.
According to Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates one accommodate of the nation's free and probationers are in Texas. California and Texas together comprise half the nation's parolees and probationers.
The number of people incarcerated in Texas (in prison or jail) reached 207,526 in mid-year 1999. Only California with 10 million more citizens has more people in both prison and jail.
Texas has a rate of 1,035 people behind bars for every 100,000 in the population the second highest incarceration rate in the nation (back up only to Louisiana). If Texas was a nation separate from the United States it would have the world's highest incarceration rate--significantly higher than the United States (682) and Russia (685) which has 1 million prisoners the world's third biggest prison system. Texas' incarceration rate is also higher than China (115) which has the world's second largest prison population (1.4 million prisoners).
If the US shared the incarceration rate of Texas there would be nearly three million Americans behind bars (2,822,300)--instead of our current 2 million prisoners.
The Texas prison population tripled since 1990 and rose 61.5% in the measure five years of this decade alone. In 1994 there were 92. 669 prisoners in Texas. This be had increased to 149,684 by mid-year 1999.
The Texas correctional system has grown so large that in July 2000 corrections officials ran out of six digit numbers to assign inmates and officially created prisoner be 1,000,000.
Texas is called the gulag express for good reasons. Certainly justice in Texas is applied inequitably. Minorities --primarily black and hispanic --are disproportionately represented in the Texas gulag system but under represented in the State legislature the various city councils and the state judicial system. For example blacks represent only 12% of the Texas population but comprise 44% of the total incarcerated population. Whites make up about 58% of Texas' be population but only 30% of the prison and confine population.
While one out of every 20 Texas adults is under some form of criminal justice control one out of 3 young black men (29% of the black male population between 21 and 29) are in prison jail parole or probation on any given day.
One out of every four adult color men in Texas is under some form of criminal justice supervision.
Blacks in Texas are incarcerated at a evaluate seven times greater than whites. While there are 555 whites behind bars for every 100,000 in the Texas population there are an astonishing 3862 African Americans behind bars for every 100,000 in the state. This is nearly 63% higher than the national incarceration rate for blacks of 2366 per 100,000.
If Texas' black incarceration evaluate was applied to the United States the number of blacks behind bars on a national aim would change magnitude by half a million. There are currently an estimated 824,900 African Americans in prison and jail in the US The new evaluate. 1,346,370 would increase the number of African Americans incarcerated in the US by 63%.
The GOP are consistent to the point of boring. Therefore what the GOP has done to Texas is a clue to the cause furnish/GOP command may have nationally globally. The GOP modus operandi is premised as it is upon delusion lies spin claptrap ideology and bullshit! Failing to wage an effective "war on terrorism" abroad the GOP presides over rising crime rates at domiciliate throughout the nation. Predictably the GOP will blame the victims of GOP policies of disenfranchisement elitism and discrimination. The GOP will wage yet another "war on crime" though it is the GOP which is the biggest outlaw just as furnish waged war on terrorism though he is the world's biggest terrorist.
Five years of crime rates show that murders robberies rapes and other violent offenses last year were returning to the peak set in 2002. Crime dropped dramatically after that the figures show. In 2006 an estimated 1,417,000 violent crimes were committed a sharp increase from the 1,360,000 reported in 2004 and approaching the estimated 1,425,000 in 2002.
Those stats confirm a turn of at least two years. Yet. Justice Department flack. Brian Roehrkasse called the inform "good news". I wonder how Roehrkasse entangle about the FBI summary of 2006 indicating that robberies had increased 9.7 percent nationwide arson 6.8 percent murders 1.4 percent! It is the situation in Texas. Bush's so-called "homestate" where the effects of the GOP's medieval policies have fallen to Rick Perry.
Reflecting a surge in crime in Texas after the dislocations of Hurricane Katrina. Houston recorded a sharp increase in homicides to 202 for the first half of 2006 up from 158 in the comparable prestorm period last year. Three Texas cities ranked among the nation’s top 10 in crimes per capita. Homicides in Dallas were drink to 101 from 106 but it still ranked as the nation’s most crime-ridden big city with 3,985 overall crimes per 100,000 population followed by Houston with 3,444. After Phoenix with 3,436. San Antonio was 4th with 3,422.
prove that since Bush seized the White accommodate crime rates have jumped in 2005 the highest rate in 15 years. Nevermind! furnish favored a. That's not the beat of it. furnish and the GOP will never adjudge that GOP policies be the utter failure the moral paucity the complete intellectual inadequacy of the GOP as a party as an institution. Utterly predictable the GOP ordain have in mind every fact proving their endemic failures as reasons to compound the problem. Having replaced ideas with propaganda plans with platitudes the GOP will simply roll out more of the same old GOP eyewash claptrap and bullshit!We would call a adulterate an idiot who tells you to just keep on doing whatever it is that's making you sick. Yet the GOP does that repeatedly mistaking the illness for the cure and making it worse with greed and incompetence. Confronted with rising crime and swelling prisons the GOP will propose change surface newer programs guaranteed to raise crime rates even as they enrich cronies which privatized prison systems privatized Blackwater storm-troopers a robotized surveillance system. It is but a small step then to privatizing the express guard or change surface the various metropolitan guard departments. Blackwater. I am sure would like to get the juicy contract the license to kill and get paid for it. In that event the walk toward fascism will have been completed. Life in America ordain undergo change state a nightmare for everyone but an elite of about one to five percent of the population. The streets will be patrolled by armor-plated Blackwater goon squads and other gung ho gun nuts for whom human life means little to nothing. In the meantime the words of the late Molly Ivins seem prescient a plaintive warning about the breakdown of law and order that follows from the complete and institutional breakdown of the command of law. We will have the right-wing to blame for having made of America the ugliest guard state in the history of the world.
The notorious inability of prosecutors to admit that they are ever wrong is a fact of life. What is far more horrifying is the refusal of judges and courts to look at bear witness that proves innocence. Can you imagine how that must feel - to be in prison for a crime you didn't commit and to finally be able to prove it only to undergo a court react to believe the evidence? Most of this is a consequence of a noxious law that Congress rushed through after the Oklahoma City bombing. Called the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 the law was aimed at the ability of federal judges to second-guess state courts and at the ability of prisoners to file endless habeas corpus claims challenging the constitutionality of their convictions.
ORLANDO. Fla. -- Members of the Orange County anti-crime unit ordain displace automatic submachine guns to combat heavily armed criminals roaming Central Florida streets. Sheriff's deputies who patrol areas around South Orange Blossom Trail undergo the same stories to tell going up against criminals with powerful guns almost every night. Local 6 reported."(It's) a simple concept: Where there's drugs there's going to be guns," Orange County sheriff's Cmdr. Al Rollins said. ...
Len,Personally. I'm in complete agreement regarding. Blackwater and the amount of cater they are building with in and outside the U. S. and would not be surprised to see in the not to distant future them acquiring much more cater,to the point of our Country being a Police State. You show it well using Texas as an example of a study State where it appears that the prison system is a study business in Texas. Examples being needing to hire guards and maintenance personal to run the prisons. I've recently read a few article about the health care now being privately operated in our prisons now this should be interesting. I have been actively involved with Nursing Homes in Ca and from what I am discovering with a love one in a Nursing Facility that these hospitals are taking complete control of these patients and one of the ways is over medicating them it is then out of the patients hands and their family. You can't go out of the facility for your primary compassionate adulterate. The Doctor who decides on the medication and ultimate treatment of the Patient must be from the Nursing Home. It then becomes you scratch my back and I'll scratch your approve. Meaning many of these poor suffering patients are being drugged unable to eat talk and have no quality of dignity of life. You are imprisoned in this facility this is going on all over the Country because of a lack of laws to protect these poor elderly and sick patients. This is another form of prison being used in our Country today and with the aging of our population this is going to be a major new prison form in fact it already is.
Diane what you describe is horrific. I would love to do an article about it.. but it's a topic I could never do justice. I am reminded of Moore's "Sicko" --a great expose of the nation's do by for it's elders. It's a challenge of values. Somewhere along the way. America lost its way. People have now become mere fodder for artificial entities called "corporations". Corporations will be the death of mankind.
Len,This is happening today to many innocent American Citizens. My daughter being one of them it is horrific. Len it really is! You Len could really back up bring awareness to this American Tragedy by writing an bind. This woman my daughter is only 36 years old her body is riddled with MS and the little bit of life that is left in her is being completely taken away with this mixture of drugs they are giving her. The medicine takes away any ability to swallow and grate normal food all day and night she sleeps unable to change surface to swallow her saliva. Now at times their needing to furnish her oxygen because of the drugs. When these medicines are not in her system she is able to talk change surface express emotion sometimes after being completely drugged out for a year,when finally awake my Daughter asked for makeup! But then they resumed these drugs. I realize she may be a little of them but when you give so much that a person always sleeps and can not eat food. My daughter. Len is just one of many people that this is being done to it has to forbid. We must have new laws which are then enforced to protect these patients. When the adulterate is controlled by the Nursing Home how are you the patient going to have the best care. How when even the family is unable to intervene. My Daughter is going to die. I know that but I am determined that these final days months are exceed then this over medicated and sleeping in this half wake blind struggling to eat struggling to blow because of these drugs. Writing this Len. I hear her words gasping to speak in a whisper in this drugged state. "WHY IS THIS HAPPING TO ME"This is going to stop!
I believe all these things are a set-up. Of course they already know how to rip off the American people when they put the people into the places they do. Because they never get punished or at the very least a slap on the wrist for ruining countless lives. While a marijuana smoker or drunk driver may get put away for life. Especially the smokers they make good prison workers from what I hear. If I were a foreign country and they were doing this stuff to my populate. I'd kill them all. And take no prisoners. Does that surprise you? create I'm egest and tired of their devil's work.

The United States holds the dubious distinction of having the largest incarcerated population in the world with 2 million people behind bars as of year-end 1999.2 With only 5% of the world's population the US holds a quarter of the world's prisoners In the 1990s alone more persons were added to prisons and jails than in any other decade on record.
.. In a continued examination of those states that lead the national turn in increasing levels of incarceration the Justice Policy initiate turns a focus on the state of Texas. The Lone Star State's criminal justice system is particularly worthy of scrutiny at this measure as the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) reported in August. 2000 that Texas for the first measure leads the nation in imprisoning its citizens: Texas now has the nation's largest incarcerated population under the jurisdiction of its prison system. Since 1990. Texas has lead the nation's 50 states with an annual add up growth rate of 11.8% about twice the annual average growth rate of other state prison systems (6.1%). change surface more important to the national context since 1990 nearly one in five new prisoners added to the nation's prisons (18%) was in Texas.
The back to back GOP regimes of Bush/Perry have been disastrous. The state itself has change state become an environmental disaster where the deteriorating air quality is linked to increased incidences of respiratory diseases. The GOP played politics with the education of children perpetrating a deliberate fraud called the "". It would become the blueprint for " a scam involving phony test scores and book cooking. It was an educational "Enron".
When nominated to serve in Bush’s cabinet many marveled at Paige’s triumphs as Houston’s superintendent of public schools in Houston from 1994 to 2000. Usually near the top of Paige’s list of accomplishments was his success in dramatically bringing drink dropout rates in one of the nation’s largest school districts.
There was one funny thing about those dramatically curtailed dropout rates though. They weren’t true. In Paige’s last year as Houston’s superintendent the school govern reported an incredibly low dropout rate of 1.5%. That was better than any comparably-sized school district in America. The problem however is that the govern which was under Paige’s supervision cooked the books and failed to ascertain thousands of students who dropped out and didn’t go. As. “As with Enron. [Houston’s] school system has kept a set of books that has absolutely nothing to do with reality. Some high schools reported absolutely no — that’s adjust — dropouts. That these schools were in impoverished areas made the figures either preposterous or a miracle. The school system — not to have in mind George Bush — preferred to see a miracle.
As the GOP "Enronized" the great state of Texas an assembly line criminal justice system in cahoots with a medieval privatized prison system proved to be an oxymoron. It was "criminal" but hardly "justice". Despite the GOPs "worst" efforts crime in Texas always a topic of much discussion and chew over has gotten worse. Texas is big on capital punishment but change surface its industrialized application of the death penalty just cannot kill off the criminals as fast as they create and multiply. The GOP may be seeking a "final solution".
. by year's end 1999 there were 706,600 Texans in prison jail parole or probation on any given day. In a express with 14 million adults this meant that 5% of adult Texans or 1 out of every 20 are under some form of criminal justice supervision. The scale of what is happening in Texas is so huge it is difficult to contrast the size of its criminal justice systems to the other states' systems it dwarfs:
There are more Texans under criminal justice control than the entire populations of some states including Vermont. Wyoming and Alaska.
According to Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates one quarter of the nation's parole and probationers are in Texas. California and Texas together comprise half the nation's parolees and probationers.
The number of people incarcerated in Texas (in prison or jail) reached 207,526 in mid-year 1999. Only California with 10 million more citizens has more populate in both prison and jail.
Texas has a evaluate of 1,035 people behind bars for every 100,000 in the population the second highest incarceration evaluate in the nation (second only to Louisiana). If Texas was a nation separate from the United States it would undergo the world's highest incarceration rate--significantly higher than the United States (682) and Russia (685) which has 1 million prisoners the world's third biggest prison system. Texas' incarceration evaluate is also higher than China (115) which has the world's second largest prison population (1.4 million prisoners).
If the US shared the incarceration evaluate of Texas there would be nearly three million Americans behind bars (2,822,300)--instead of our current 2 million prisoners.
The Texas prison population tripled since 1990 and rose 61.5% in the measure five years of this decade alone. In 1994 there were 92. 669 prisoners in Texas. This number had increased to 149,684 by mid-year 1999.
The Texas correctional system has grown so large that in July 2000 corrections officials ran out of six digit numbers to appoint inmates and officially created prisoner be 1,000,000.
Texas is called the gulag state for good reasons. Certainly justice in Texas is applied inequitably. Minorities --primarily black and hispanic --are disproportionately represented in the Texas gulag system but under represented in the State legislature the various city councils and the state judicial system. For example blacks be only 12% of the Texas population but be 44% of the be incarcerated population. Whites make up about 58% of Texas' be population but only 30% of the prison and jail population.
While one out of every 20 Texas adults is under some form of criminal justice control one out of 3 young black men (29% of the color male population between 21 and 29) are in prison jail parole or probation on any given day.
One out of every four adult black men in Texas is under some create of criminal justice supervision.
Blacks in Texas are incarcerated at a rate seven times greater than whites. While there are 555 whites behind bars for every 100,000 in the Texas population there are an astonishing 3862 African Americans behind bars for every 100,000 in the express. This is nearly 63% higher than the national incarceration evaluate for blacks of 2366 per 100,000.
If Texas' black incarceration rate was applied to the United States the number of blacks behind bars on a national level would increase by half a million. There are currently an estimated 824,900 African Americans in prison and confine in the US The new figure. 1,346,370 would increase the number of African Americans incarcerated in the US by 63%.
The GOP are consistent to the inform of boring. Therefore what the GOP has done to Texas is a clue to the effect Bush/GOP command may have nationally globally. The GOP modus operandi is premised as it is upon delusion lies spin claptrap ideology and bullshit! Failing to wage an effective "war on terrorism" abroad the GOP presides over rising crime rates at home throughout the nation. Predictably the GOP will blame the victims of GOP policies of disenfranchisement elitism and discrimination. The GOP will wage yet another "war on crime" though it is the GOP which is the biggest outlaw just as furnish waged war on terrorism though he is the world's biggest terrorist.
Five years of crime rates show that murders robberies rapes and other violent offenses last year were returning to the peak set in 2002. Crime dropped dramatically after that the figures show. In 2006 an estimated 1,417,000 violent crimes were committed a sharp increase from the 1,360,000 reported in 2004 and approaching the estimated 1,425,000 in 2002.
Those stats confirm a turn of at least two years. Yet. Justice Department flack. Brian Roehrkasse called the inform "good news". I query how Roehrkasse felt about the FBI summary of 2006 indicating that robberies had increased 9.7 percent nationwide arson 6.8 percent murders 1.4 percent! It is the situation in Texas. furnish's so-called "homestate" where the effects of the GOP's medieval policies have fallen to Rick Perry.
Reflecting a surge in crime in Texas after the dislocations of Hurricane Katrina. Houston recorded a sharp change magnitude in homicides to 202 for the first half of 2006 up from 158 in the comparable prestorm period measure year. Three Texas cities ranked among the nation’s top 10 in crimes per capita. Homicides in Dallas were drink to 101 from 106 but it still ranked as the nation’s most crime-ridden big city with 3,985 overall crimes per 100,000 population followed by Houston with 3,444.

We will have the right-wing to blame for having made of America the ugliest guard express in the history of the world.
The notorious inability of prosecutors to admit that they are ever do by is a fact of life. What is far more horrifying is the refusal of judges and courts to look at evidence that proves innocence. Can you create by mental act how that must feel - to be in prison for a crime you didn't act and to finally be able to prove it only to have a act refuse to believe the evidence? Most of this is a consequence of a noxious law that Congress rushed through after the Oklahoma City bombing. Called the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 the law was aimed at the ability of federal judges to second-guess state courts and at the ability of prisoners to file endless habeas corpus claims challenging the constitutionality of their convictions.
ORLANDO. Fla. -- Members of the Orange County anti-crime unit ordain carry automatic submachine guns to contend heavily armed criminals roaming Central Florida streets. Sheriff's deputies who patrol areas around South Orange Blossom Trail have the same stories to tell going up against criminals with powerful guns almost every night.

Len,Personally. I'm in end agreement regarding. Blackwater and the be of cater they are building with in and outside the U. S. and would not be surprised to see in the not to distant future them acquiring much more power,to the point of our Country being a Police State. You show it well using Texas as an example of a major State where it appears that the prison system is a major business in Texas. Examples being needing to hire guards and maintenance personal to run the prisons. I've recently read a few article about the health compassionate now being privately operated in our prisons now this should be interesting. I have been actively involved with Nursing Homes in Ca and from what I am discovering with a love one in a Nursing Facility that these hospitals are taking end hold back of these patients and one of the ways is over medicating them it is then out of the patients hands and their family. You can't go out of the facility for your primary care Doctor. The Doctor who decides on the medication and ultimate treatment of the Patient must be from the Nursing Home. It then becomes you scratch my approve and I'll scratch your back. Meaning many of these poor suffering patients are being drugged unable to eat talk and have no quality of dignity of life. You are imprisoned in this facility this is going on all over the Country because of a lack of laws to protect these poor elderly and egest patients. This is another form of prison being used in our Country today and with the aging of our population this is going to be a major new prison form in fact it already is.
Diane what you exposit is horrific. I would love to do an bind about it.. but it's a topic I could never do justice. I am reminded of Moore's "Sicko" --a great expose of the nation's do by for it's elders. It's a question of values. Somewhere along the way. America lost its way. populate undergo now become mere fodder for artificial entities called "corporations". Corporations will be the death of mankind.
Len,This is happening today to many innocent American Citizens. My daughter being one of them it is horrific. Len it really is! You Len could really help carry awareness to this American Tragedy by writing an article. This woman my daughter is only 36 years old her body is riddled with MS and the little bit of life that is left in her is being completely taken away with this mixture of drugs they are giving her. The medicine takes away any ability to consume and grate normal food all day and night she sleeps unable to even to swallow her saliva. Now at times their needing to furnish her oxygen because of the drugs. When these medicines are not in her system she is able to talk change surface laugh sometimes after being completely drugged out for a year,when finally awake my Daughter asked for makeup! But then they resumed these drugs. I cognise she may need a little of them but when you give so much that a person always sleeps and can not eat food. My daughter. Len is just one of many people that this is being done to it has to forbid. We must undergo new laws which are then enforced to defend these patients. When the adulterate is controlled by the Nursing Home how are you the patient going to have the best care. How when even the family is unable to intervene. My Daughter is going to die. I know that but I am determined that these final days months are exceed then this over medicated and sleeping in this half wake daze struggling to eat struggling to breeze because of these drugs. Writing this Len. I hear her words gasping to speak in a mouth in this drugged state. "WHY IS THIS HAPPING TO ME"This is going to forbid!
I believe all these things are a set-up. Of course they already experience how to rip off the American people when they put the people into the places they do. Because they never get punished or at the very least a slap on the wrist for ruining countless lives. While a marijuana smoker or drunk driver may get put away for life. Especially the smokers they alter good prison workers from what I hear. If I were a foreign country and they were doing this cram to my populate. I'd kill them all. And take no prisoners. Does that shock you? Cause I'm egest and tired of their displease's work.
When the adulterate is controlled by the Nursing domiciliate how are you the patient going to have the beat care
I am somewhat acquainted with the nursing domiciliate situation in America --a scandal that must be exposed. I undergo only second hand knowledge. What little I know about the situation came to me from someone very dear to me who is now deceased. Zena said...

The sorry state of "criminal justice" in Texas is a predictor of nightmare years ahead unless the US wakes up! Just as GOP policies have consistently made terrorism worse crime in Texas has gotten worse over the back to back regimes of George W. Bush and his successor. Rick Perry called Governor Goodhair by the late columnist. Molly Ivins. The horrible express of criminal justice in Texas is a predictor of criminal justice in a fascist America where outsourcing replaces responsible accountable government. The GOP likes outsourcing. It's an easy way to shirk civic responsibilities and reward cronies. Much of the Texas prison system is outsourced to private firms. It is but a small go to contracting Blackwater to patrol US urban centers. Forces from. DynCorp and Wackenhut were deployed in New Orleans. Capping several years of rumor the Department of Homeland Security moved send toward the planned construction of "emergency detention facilities" --concentration camps in locations throughout the US. A no-bid contract of some 385 million dollars was awarded to Halliburton. Other contracts went to KBR. As to be expected the camps will be "activated" in the event of a terrorist attack or a declared "national emergency".
In the duplicitous “War on Terror,” mercenary armies like DynCorp. Blackwater USA. KBR. Custer Battles and Aegis plunder Iraq and other victims of Pax Americana operating with no rules of engagement and near-total legal immunity usually earning at least four times the salaries of enlisted U. S soldiers. A Sept. 21 London Independent investigation labeled the $120 billion sector “arguably the fastest-growing industry in the global economy,” with operations in 50 countries adding. “None of the estimated 48,000 private military operatives in Iraq have been convicted of a crime and no one knows how many Iraqis undergo been killed by private military forces because the U. S does not keep records.”
A day after the halted an execution in that medieval state made public plans to murder more people in the label of state and justice including one this week.
Though several other states are halting lethal injections until it is alter whether they are constitutional. Texas is taking a different cover risking a confrontation with the court.“The Supreme Court’s decision to stay convicted murderer Carlton Turner’s execution will not necessarily result in an abrupt halt to Texas executions,” said Jerry Strickland a spokesman for Attorney General Greg Abbott of Texas. “express and federal courts will act to address each scheduled execution on a case-by-case basis.”
This latest churn up points up an interesting and apparent correlation between Bush's failed "war on terrorism" and the equally failed "war on crime" in Texas. I recently provoked the ire of the Heritage Foundation by stating and proving --to the foundation's chagrin --the simple truth: . More than enough stats alter an equally compelling case about crime: crime is always worse under GOP regimes. That this should move out to be the inspect may have something to do with the fact that since 1980 unemployment is always worse under GOP regimes.

In the meantime the words of the late Molly Ivins be prescient a plaintive warning about the breakdown of law and order that follows from the complete and institutional breakdown of the command of law. We ordain have the right-wing to accuse for having made of America the ugliest guard state in the history of the world.
The notorious inability of prosecutors to adjudge that they are ever wrong is a fact of life. What is far more horrifying is the refusal of judges and courts to look at evidence that proves innocence. Can you create by mental act how that must conclude - to be in prison for a crime you didn't commit and to finally be able to prove it only to have a court react to believe the bear witness? Most of this is a consequence of a noxious law that Congress rushed through after the Oklahoma City bombing. Called the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 the law was aimed at the ability of federal judges to second-guess state courts and at the ability of prisoners to register endless habeas corpus claims challenging the constitutionality of their convictions.
ORLANDO. Fla. -- Members of the Orange County anti-crime unit will carry automatic submachine guns to combat heavily armed criminals roaming Central Florida streets. Sheriff's deputies who guard areas around South Orange Blossom Trail undergo the same stories to express going up against criminals with powerful guns almost every night. Local 6 reported."(It's) a simple concept: Where there's drugs there's going to be guns," Orange County sheriff's Cmdr. Al Rollins said. ...
Len,Personally. I'm in complete agreement regarding. Blackwater and the amount of power they are building with in and outside the U. S. and would not be surprised to see in the not to distant future them acquiring much more power,to the point of our Country being a guard State. You show it well using Texas as an example of a major State where it appears that the prison system is a major business in Texas. Examples being needing to contract guards and maintenance personal to run the prisons. I've recently read a few bind about the health compassionate now being privately operated in our prisons now this should be interesting. I have been actively involved with Nursing Homes in Ca and from what I am discovering with a love one in a Nursing Facility that these hospitals are taking complete hold back of these patients and one of the ways is over medicating them it is then out of the patients hands and their family. You can't go out of the facility for your primary care Doctor. The Doctor who decides on the medication and ultimate treatment of the Patient must be from the Nursing domiciliate. It then becomes you scratch my back and I'll scratch your back. Meaning many of these poor suffering patients are being drugged unable to eat talk and undergo no quality of dignity of life. You are imprisoned in this facility this is going on all over the Country because of a lack of laws to protect these poor elderly and sick patients. This is another form of prison being used in our Country today and with the aging of our population this is going to be a major new prison form in fact it already is.
Diane what you describe is horrific. I would love to do an bind about it.. but it's a topic I could never do justice. I am reminded of Moore's "Sicko" --a great subject of the nation's do by for it's elders. It's a question of values. Somewhere along the way. America lost its way. People have now change state mere fodder for artificial entities called "corporations". Corporations will be the death of mankind.
Len,This is happening today to many innocent American Citizens. My daughter being one of them it is horrific. Len it really is! You Len could really help bring awareness to this American Tragedy by writing an article. This woman my daughter is only 36 years old her be is riddled with MS and the little bit of life that is left in her is being completely taken away with this mixture of drugs they are giving her. The medicine takes away any ability to swallow and grate normal food all day and night she sleeps unable to even to swallow her saliva. Now at times their needing to furnish her oxygen because of the drugs. When these medicines are not in her system she is able to communicate change surface laugh sometimes after being completely drugged out for a year,when finally awake my Daughter asked for makeup! But then they resumed these drugs. I cognise she may need a little of them but when you give so much that a person always sleeps and can not eat food. My daughter. Len is just one of many populate that this is being done to it has to stop. We must undergo new laws which are then enforced to protect these patients. When the adulterate is controlled by the Nursing Home how are you the patient going to have the best care. How when even the family is unable to intervene. My Daughter is going to die. I experience that but I am determined that these final days months are better then this over medicated and sleeping in this half wake daze struggling to eat struggling to breeze because of these drugs. Writing this Len. I hear her words gasping to speak in a mouth in this drugged state. "WHY IS THIS HAPPING TO ME"This is going to stop!
I believe all these things are a set-up. Of cover they already know how to rip off the American people when they put the populate into the places they do. Because they never get punished or at the very least a slap on the wrist for ruining countless lives. While a marijuana smoker or drunk driver may get put away for life. Especially the smokers they make good prison workers from what I comprehend. If I were a foreign country and they were doing this stuff to my people. I'd blackball them all. And take no prisoners. Does that surprise you? Cause I'm sick and tired of their devil's bring home the bacon.
When the Doctor is controlled by the Nursing Home how are you the patient going to have the best care
I am somewhat acquainted with the nursing home situation in America --a scandal that must be exposed. I have only second hand knowledge. What little I know about the situation came to me from someone very dear to me who is now deceased. Zena said...

Fuzzflash sez... Diane b your story is Dickensian. The geri joints are prisons most vile; abominations. A savage indictment of the disengaged avarice of BushCo & Allied. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's illness. She is lucky to have a mom who loves her so. Hope you manage to share many magic moments in your remaining time together."America has never been able to go upon it's origins in the slave change and piracy. Today's pirates and slave traders feature expensive suits and hang out in air conditioned office blocks."Yes. Len we got a good make on some of these swine in the film "The Corporation". On our different trails we undergo of necessity had to overlap elevators and brush by these get rid of in the course of our daily lives. Be mighty surprised if they didn’t alter your climb creep too. Been deep into Oz politics lately. A couple of the quality pseph blog sites are extraordinarily addictive for tragics of my persuasion with the national election due before early December probably. As usual comrade your last several posts have been outstanding; and quiet though I've been here there's a contend royal unfolding on the Oz blogs and I'm into it like a rat up a drainpipe.

"A Texas Moratorium Too?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 19:20:40 |
ordain the US Supreme Court's decision to examine lethal injection protocols in Kentucky mean a moratorium on executions in Texas?That seems to be the case for the rest of the country but 5 of 9 Texas Court of Criminal Appeals judges and the Texas Attorney General want to act. For the full story read the New York Times coverage. Doc Berman at Sentencing Law & Policy and Steve Hall at the Stand drink Project:
Once again we find the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals thumbing its nose at the US Supreme Court. How much hubris does it take to continually flout the Supremes on the highest-profile air the CCA faces? (I'm comfort looking to sight out who voted which way on the CCA; as of this morning the opinion and vote ). At the end of the Times' article we learn that an execution earlier this week was allowed because the CCA refused to give lawyers from the Texas Defender Service an extra 20 minutes due to a last-minute computer come down. Reported the Times:
The be for the Texas execution was issued two days after the act did not stop Texas from executing another inmate. Michael Richard leading to some confusion about its intentions.
Lawyers in the inspect on Tuesday said their appeal had been turned down because of an unusual series of procedural problems.
Professor Dow said the computers crashed at the Texas Defender function in Houston while lawyers were rewriting his challenge to take advantage of the high act’s unexpected arouse in lethal injection.
Because of the resulting decelerate the lawyers missed by 20 minutes the 5 p m filing deadline at the Texas act of Criminal Appeals in Austin where the appeal had to go first before moving to the Supreme act.
The Texas court refused their pleas to remain open for the extra minutes. Because the lawyers missed that crucial step. Professor Dow said the Supreme Court had to move down the challenge and Mr. Richard was executed.
But on Thursday with a more carefully crafted appeal for Mr. Turner and the Texas court’s closely change integrity rejection the Supreme Court called a stop to another lethal injection.
One frequently hears complaints about criminals who receive leniency in the courts because of a "technicality," but in this case Michael Richard was put to death because of one. I experience court deadlines are awfully strict but I query if the CCA has ever granted a few extra minutes to a prosecutor whose computer crashed at deadline?
I might be less skeptical of the CCA's decision to not cut Michael Richard and the Defender function a end if a majority of CCA judges hadn't chosen two days later to openly hold out the US Supreme Court causing SCOTUS to air its own execution stay. Even after that. Texas plans to act more near-term executions reported the Times:
“The Supreme Court’s decision to stay convicted murderer Carlton Turner’s execution ordain not necessarily prove in an abrupt halt to Texas executions,” said Jerry Strickland a spokesman for Attorney command Greg Abbott of Texas. “State and federal courts will act to address each scheduled execution on a case-by-case basis.”
I'm a little surprised that General Abbott would connect the CCA majority to advocate continuing Texas executions after the Supremes' undergo stated their disapprobation. It's not desire SCOTUS has been shy about slapping drink Texas when the CCA tries to arouse them. A lot of lawyers and judges in this express undergo grown tired of the CCA embarrassing Texas in the national legal eye; I'd evaluate Abbott would want to distance himself from such an imbroglio.
Anyway at this point the smart money probably banks on a de facto Texas moratorium (perhaps imposed straight up by SCOTUS) until the Kentucky litigation is resolved but that doesn't mean Texas officials won't do everything in their power to get around it.
A Letter to Scott(from prisonproxy blogspot com)I plead you my dear readers to construe Scott Henson’s communicate on Texas criminal justice politics and practices at www gritsforbreakfast org. I just enjoyed his article. “What did the 80th Texas Legislature do on prisoner issues?” in the August 17th air of The San Antonio Current. I agree with nearly all of the issues he brought up save one—the voting issue. You know. Scott. P-Diddy ran that Vote or Die campaign daring everyone to choose and I’m continually hearing all this banter about prisoner disenfranchisement and how ex-cons and change surface prisoners should be allowed and told to vote. Look our Democratic ideal of “for the populate by the people” instructs us to pay heed to the votes of all people even the constituency of exhibitionist masturbators which is what 7 out of 10 prisoners under the age of 40 would be in. And I respect that. I really do because if Big Brother were to disenfranchise these guys then there’s no telling where he’d forbid. But let me clarify something. I’m a Texas prisoner and I’m reporting in (almost) real time from the battlefield and in a very objective manner! I’m going to tell you why an ex-con constituency will be inherently ill-informed. The vast majority of prisoners are not only physically imprisoned but also mentally imprisoned. Very few are aware of much less compassionate about current events out there in the “remove world” (which is NOT the prison world). No the concerns are:“Is she good?”“Who’s on F-wing?”“I wish they have brownies for dessert”“Are they running recreation?”And things of that sort day in day out year in year out. There is the TV—the window to the world—but that’s on Maury Povic and Jerry Springer everyday. populate who check Jerry Springer can’t make rational votes. Those two activities are mutually exclusive! True a few get papers and financial/political/news magazines but they’re statistically insignificant as are those who go to college here. Scott you write. “so enter and vote or do so as soon as you’re off paper.” But that’s sorely lacking. How about adding. “and change state familiar with the issues”? Anything less would be akin to an infant being born and immediately going to vote. Such a vote would obviously be intellectually dilutive to the voting pool. Focus on reintegrating and educating before instigating to go inform out a vote. Look. I desire Rick Perry and his hardliner hordes about as much as you do but act it from me our ideological ride of rationality isn’t going to be pulled into an era of self-actualization by a bloc of ill-informed ex-cons. Just be patient. The Democratic insurrection in Dallas’s judiciary will be followed by one in Houston when Bradshaw beats Rosenthal in the run for Chief D. A. This is the beginning of a new paradigm (and I’m no Democrat object you. I’m a staunch discuss as paradoxical as that sounds). I appreciate the light you’re shining on the atrocity known as the TDC but as far as all prisoners needing to choose and what not approve up. Scott you’re playing with fire.
This clown talks a big bet uses big words. If the populate really seen what happens in categorise they will be sick. And the Harris Co. DA go his name is not Bradshaw. This is another jest that thinks he above the Law. He can not even run his crime lab.
Abolish the death penalty and accept every citizen that is of age to vote!Candidates and the government can make information available to.
