Double Cabins Called for New SC Prisons in Overcrowding Case
South Carolina faces a January 1988 deadline to comply with a 1985 consent decree from a class action suit led by inmate Gary Wayne Nelson. Kenneth Woodington says a bid for double occupancy in all new cells will be heard by U.S. District Judge C Weston Houck within six weeks. If denied, the state risks further noncompliance after past orders to house 530 inmates or release them. Corrections Commissioner William Leeke briefed the Governor’s Committee as Woodington reported.
