A regular meeting of the
Citizens Committee and
the Administration - of
SCID was held on Friday,
June- 17. Attending, in
addition to Superintendent
Joe Ryan and his staff,
were Representatives
Stanley Jarolin and Frank
Coslett, Jackson Twp.
Supervisor Walter Zinca-
vage and Twp. Solicitor
Blythe Evans and Senator
0’Connell’s representative.
Mr. Ryan responded as
follows to committee ques-
tions:
1. Prisoner population
has risen from 1340 in
March to 1396, an increase
of 56. Five correction offi-
cers were added bringing
that total to 245. There is
no limit on the number of
prisoners that may be
housed at SCID. Other
state facilities now have
overcrowded conditions
where prisoners are sleep-
ing on floors.
2. Mr. Ryan reported
assignment to the modular
unit is preferred by both
the prisoners and security
officers. The use of the
unit however, has not
reduced overcrowding.
3. Prisoners are rou-
tinely transported off SCID
property on work details.
The use of covered trucks
for this purpose continues.
Roads through the less
populated areas of the
township are used for
transportation. Lifers are
not allowed outside work
details.
4. Additional technical
information was provided
on the steam whistle siren.
This was required by the
committee to continue
investigation for a possible
siren upgrade.
Additional discussion
centered on the State
budget and funds to com-
plete the double fence
requested by SCID. Budget
work begins this week in
Harrisburg and Represent-
atives Jarolin and Coslett
agreed on the importance
of pursuing these funds.
They also felt it would be
more cost effective to add
correction officers and
reduce the $850,000 budget
overrun caused by over-
time requirements. The
same amount of money
would finance in excess of
30 full time officers.
Swim
Classes
Available
As summer approaches
and temperatures rise,
area youngsters will flock
to Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania’s many lakes and
pools in search of a cool
place to enjoy themselves.
The American Red Cross
urges everyone to be safe
in and around the water
this year. Over 7,000
drownings occur each year
in the United States, but
with proper training about
water safety and swim-
ming this number can be
reduced. *
