Cal 1 1 1 1 1 J. or on O. Inc. Guards during death row escape defended By The Associated Press RICHMOND The shift commander the night of the death row breakout at the Mecklenburg CorErectional Center says, "I don't feel I did anything wrong. I'm sorry it happened, but it just Lt.
Harry Hawkins said the guards taken hostage during the escape should not be punished. Hawkins and the other guards hostage in the May 31 escape six inmates have been suspended with pay since June 3. Hawkins, 35, said the hostages -simply followed procedures when they complied with their captors' "demands, which included summoning a van for the escapees. "We were trained not to cause trouble, to do as we are told so we don't upset things and threaten other people's lives," he said in a copyright interview with the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Hawkins lashed into Corrections Department Director Robert Landon, who blamed the escape from the maximum security prison on "human error" by the guards.
Calling Landon "a man without a heart," Hawkins said the corrections department chief would have done the same thing if he had been one of the hostages. The escapees "had shanks (knives) and told me they were going to kill me," Hawkins said. He was handcuffed and blindfolded, and a knife "12 or 14 inches 1 long" was constantly at his throat, Hawk.ins said. "I thought from that moment on it was all over for me, that it was the end of my life," he said. "I felt like a dead man and it was the end." Hawkins blamed the escape, at least partially, on worsening conditions at Mecklenburg manpower shortages, high turnover rates among guards and intolerable conditions in some sections of the prison.
"The inmates flood their cells, they start fires and throw feces at the guards and against the walls," Hawkins said. "How can you maintain respect when an officer has to clean up things like that in front of the inmates?" Hawkins said at times as few as two men are expected to keep watch over 50 inmates during recreational periods. "There's no way to see everything that's going he said. A state police report on the escape is expected to be completed sometime this week. Two of the six escapees brothers James and Linwood Briley remain at large.
Earl Clanton Jr. and Derick Peterson were captured within 24 hours of the escape in a coin laundry in Warrenton, N.C., about 30 miles south of the Boydton prison. Lem Tuggle Jr. was apprehended June 8 in Vermont after he allegedly robbed a gift shop there. Willie Leroy Jones was recaptured that same day a few hours later after his mother persuaded him to give himself up.

"I'm just hoping that the whole thing will be over more quickly this way." Her 12-year-old brother, Eric, complained that the custody fight forced him to spend much of spare time in court. "There's only been one judge so far that we've been allowed to speak to," he said. "It takes up a lot of free time to sit in court and do nothing."

since their parents were divorced in 1976. An Arizona court granted custody to the mother, Patricia Donaldson, but the children disappeared with Ryan into Mexico. Their whereabouts remained secret until three years ago when Ms. Donaldson found them in Malibu, said Larry Burge, her attorney. Ms.
Donaldson has said the children were abducted by their father, but the children contend they went voluntarily. "He didn't steal us. We wanted to leave," Catherine Ryan said last week. When Ms. Donaldson insisted the children be returned to her in Arizona, Ryan was granted an appeal of the original custody decision in California.
The prospect of having to sit through another round of court proceedings prompted the Ryan children to find their own, attorney, Michael Kelly. "The ma major thing they want is a cessation of the continuous litigation," Kelly said. "They want their parents to stop using the courts to get at one another." Kelly said he agreed to accept only 10 percent of his usual fee because the children didn't earn enough money at their part-time jobs. "I wanted to be sure that they were committed to producing their goal," Kelly said. "These are not wealthy kids, but they just want to be at Ms.
Donaldson, meanwhile, said she wants the opportunity to establish a close relationship with her children. "I do love my children, and when they disappeared they were nice and loving to me," she said. "The longer the children have been away, the more they move from me." Efforts to raise drinking age is called 'coercion at its worst' By The Associated Press RIVER FALLS, Wis. A student group calls congressional efforts to raise the drinking age to 21 "coercion at its The United Council of University of Wisconsin Student Governments on Saturday unanimously passed a resolution opposing the legislation, which would cut a percentage of federal highway aid to states that do not enact a minimum drinking age of 21 by September 1985. The bill's backers, the council charged, ignore the rights of 18- to 20-year-olds, granting them "the ability to make judgments about all of life's other responsibilities, like getting married, voting for elected officials, and dying in the service of our country, but not the ability to make decisions on this one issue." Wisconsin's minimum age is due to increase from 18 to 19 on July 1.
