After Man's Third Escape Increased Security at Mental Hospital
The New Mexico Department of Hospitals and Institutions plans heightened security at the state Mental Hospital in Las Vegas after Stefen Wolozon escaped for the third time. DHS director Bill Giron noted limited 1975 legislative funds but said available money will fund immediate security steps. Wolozon, committed in 1973 after his 1972 competency case for a beating death, escaped again last weekend by climbing to the roof and leaving. He called from Colorado but gave no location. A security report urged a strong perimeter fence, a new locking system, and television monitoring of all wards.
