I I i i i i i i linnucr. Monthly. 3. l'J72 Inmates at Windsor present demands Inmates at Windsor State Prison, one of the oldest penal institutions in the country, have published a harsh indictment of prison administrators and various agencies In the state Corrections Department. In a letter received by The Banner, the inmates listed 21 demands they wanted adopted by the state.

Called the "Windsor Statement," the letter announces that "We, the imprisoned men of Vermont State Prison seek an end to the injustice suffered by all prisoners." The statement calls for a world convention of prisoners to End ways to "liberate all political prisoners, and to aid all prisoners now forced to live under the repressive conditions hereand wherever injustice is served by the state." The demands, which refer specifically to existing conditions at Windsor, range from measures to improve various disciplinary and administrative procedures within the prison to being able to determine their own educational programs and to have consultation rights with representatives of the state social, employment and service agencies, The inmates are demanding, to list a few, that they be given conjugal visitation rights, the right to have an attorney present during all disciplinary hearings, an end to the "derogatory and humiliating treatment of trusties," that rehabilitation opportunities become more than "tokenism," and an "end to the ever-present conflict between the so- called'treatment' and'custodial'factions of the elitist power structure" at Windsor. The prisoners are submitting the demands, the letter states, because "it is a matter of documented record and human recognition that the administrators of the Vermont Department of Corrections have taken the Institutions which were designed to socially correct men and turned them into the FASCIST CONCENTRATION CAMPS OF MODERN AMERICA" (their emphasis). The letter, written by the inmates, some of whom have be en involved in the publishing of a prison newspaper called the Luparar, stated that since Windsor represents one of the "most classicalinstitutions of authoritative inhumanity upon men," the list of demands is being presented to prison officials.

George Aiken making all Office of Economic Opportunity activities in rural areas supplemental to existing federal programs. Aiken said Thursday the purpose of the amendment was to make it clear OEO would sup- plemenl Ihe programs of other agencies and work with them on a cooperative basis, but not assume priority over them. Acceptance of the Aiken amendment came after he had challenged the section of the Economic Opportunity Act dealing with rural poverty.

The measure clarifies the limits OEO directors have in evaluating poverty programs already being conducted by other federal agencies. Such evaluations under the Aiken language must be on a cooperative, interagency basis. Arthur B. Murphy; music, the Rev. Edward T.

"I am confident the President will recognize these concessions to his objections," the senator said. Stafford called on the House of Representatives to eliminate an amendment added on the floor of the Senate which, he said, would permit the secretary of Health, Education and Welfare to give state government complete control over local programs. That amendment, Stafford said, "could diminish the control and participation of local organizations and of parents." He said parental participation is vital to the success of the bill and to maintaining the strength of the "traditional American family unit."
