Prison overcrowding has long hindered wide range inmate rehabtktahon. But now, the proposed programs for decreasing inmate overpopulation have spawned new controversies Both state and local groups are embroiled in what direction and form these programs should take The overcrowding itself has brought a class action suit which could result in the court-ordere- d closing of the Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City The American Cml Liberties Union has charged mat overcrowding and inadequate medical care at the prison constitute cruel and unusual punishment The current inmate population at me penitentiary is 2,164 The prison was designed for 1,500 "Man for man we're spread mm," says Bill Armontrout, associate warden of program services at the penitentiary 'And the number one priority of the prison is to provide for the safety of the inmates and staff, and if you're doing that you can't have the educational and vocational programs functioning fully " In regard to inmate population across the state, "Citizen's Voice," a newsletter by the Missouri Association for Social Welfare (MASW), quoted Edward E Haynes, director of Missouri's Division of Corrections.
