James Peeler Smith, admitted last week that the new restric tive regulations being-written to govern inmate organiza tions is being done precisely to limit the effectiveness of the N.C.Prisoners Labor Union Smith was present at a forum sponsored by the Ashe ville Chapter of the League of Women Voters on prison con ditions. particularly focusing on the fearfully over-crowded situations that exist in most League Of . i Women Voters Plan 5 Meetings Election year activities of the League of Women Voters have been highlighted by the televised debates of the presi dential candidates but also include numerous other ef forts at state and local levels to inform the electorate about issues and candidates On Oct. 26 the Charlotte Mecklenburg League will be gin a series of five unit meet ings, open to the public, to discuss issues and candidates impartially researched by the Voters Service committee. That same day a question naire of candidates for the N.C_House and Senate will be printed in the Charlotte News. A Voters Guide on candi dates for state offices has been compiled by and published by the N.C. League of Women Voters and is now availalbe free in Charlotte. In addition,. League mem bers have spoken to several communify*orgamzations, fo: cusing on such topics as voter apathy, candidates for local offices, and pros and cons of ballot issues. The LWV co sponsored a forum for candi dates for the County Commis sion and participate in the development of question naires published by other the state's 77 prison units. Dr. Richard L'rbanik, Director of Programs for the Department of Corrections and a panel participant, was asked why outside organizations, such as the Yokes Fellows and Jay cees, were having such a hard time getting access to pri soners now. Smith, however, responded, stating that, “The courts had forced us to admit this inmate labor union." The union had been "a disruptive influence which gives indivi dual inmates power" and "re sults in the inmates taking ove the prisons,” Peeler Smith went on to say, but when the "courts tell us to do some-, thing, then we have to do it." He further stated that "the riot in 1968 at Central Prison happened because the inmates had too much power and tried to take over the prison sys tem;’ and saw the presence of the union as fostering that type of atmosphere. Smith s presence at the to rum was engendered by the fact that the Prisoners Union law suit against the Depart ment of Corrections is pre sently in court at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals level; as well as the fact that the department has been receiv ing some negative press re cently because of some alle gedly unconstitutional actions by department officials a gainst prisoners. The panel included, in addition to Dr. Urbanik, Attorney Russell Brannon who is handling the Prisoners Union lawsuit, and Bobby Forrest, an inmate who had spent 214 years at Craggy Prison. The Prisoners Union has been engaged in legal action against the Department of Corrections in order to gain . the right to organize inside the prisons themselves. Despite the April 27, 1976 decision by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals giving the union the right to organize and to hold meetings with outside organi zers, the Department of Cor rections has refused to permit these meetings.
