w6M THE DES MOINES REGISTER Oct. 19, 1983 Inmate's rights were violated by $1,685 bill, attorney argues Imet I ill mmm births By PAUL LEAVITT Reenter Slafl WrMer The attorney for an Iowa prison I inmate argued Tuesday that the inmate's First Amendment rights "were violated when officials billed him $1,685 for their investigation of charges he made against the prison staff In January, inmate Daniel Parnell criticized prison officials in the news media for their actions in the death of inmate Teddy Booth, who suffered a heart attack in his cell and later died. Parnell also testified before the Lee County grand jury that investigated Booth's death and found no reason to bring criminal charges against any prison officials. In March, prison officials assessed Parnell $1,685 for the cost of investi gating his allegations. They also said he would not be placed on work release until be pays the assessment plus 10 percent interest.

Prison officials have been deducting $12.50 from Parnell's monthly prison wages of $25. Parnell's attorney, Kay Delafield, asked U.S. District Judge Harold Vietor for a court order to temporarily stop the sanctions against Parnell. "This is a classic case of the most outrageous trampling on First Amendment rights," Delafield told Vietor. The amendment covers both free speech and free press rights.

Gordon Allen, a special assistant attorney general, said be agrees there are "weighty First Amendment Amendment right to lie," Hunacek said. Vietor questioned whether the prison's assessment of "what in effect is a fine" amounted to collecting damages without going to court He said the prison seemed to be telling the inmate, "We've got you and we've got your bank account" "What about the chilling effect this has on First Amendment rights when a prisoner publicly reports a matter or expresses his opinion about the prison, he runs the risk of being disciplined by the very people he criticizes?" Vietor asked. The judge also questioned whether prison officials were arguing that "prisoners will have First Amendment rights only to the extent prison authorities will let them have those rights." The judge will issue a ruling later. issues" involved, but he argued that there would be no irreparable harm by continuing the sanctions until the case is decided later. Allen said Parnell was attempting to "bootstrap his way" into federal court, instead of pursuing a remedy through prison internal appeals or state courts.

"The question is whether this court needs to intervene," Allen said. Mark Hunacek, an assistant attorney general, said Parnell was disciplined for lying to the news media. "Prisons are under some obligation to teach socially acceptable" behavior, Hunacek said. He said the penitentiary has a rule that forbids lying because it upsets "the security and order" of the prison. Parneil "made specific libelous statements" and "the question here is whether an inmate has a First Ingersoll business owners happy bypass was shelved MOVIE INFORMATION FOI MOV1C TITLES.

"I was pursuing what I think was the only alternative see how far we could stretch existing streets," said Urban, who is the council's representative on an area transportation planning committee. Some merchants along part of the route, however, were happy Tuesday. "We're tickled to death with the outcome," exclaimed Lew Duncan, owner of Colonial Cleaners at 1928 Ingersoll Ave.

"The way it was, we'd be in limbo, we couldn't sell it or do anything." He added, "I felt kind of guilty for feeling the way I do, but I came to realize everybody's got a selfish interest They were all talking from their pocketbooks." Stew Hansen, owner of the Dodge dealership at 2103 Ingersollthat bears his name, said, 'I was pleased that we didn't have to move. I was pleased with the outcome." The bypass would have linked Harding Road and Fleur Drive, run east from Harding-Fleur along the railroad tracks south of the Loop, tailed off to the south and Indianola Avenue just west of the Des Moines River and hooked the east-west link into improvements at East Fourteenth and East Fifteenth streets. Because of the council's vote Monday, no more work or study will be done on the routes, Thompson said. i Thfc Ulrimnta ptAAO eYnerience 1 Imagine a machine that records CHfliSTOPHR your UJflweN NRTRU6 LUOOD oreoms nightmares.
