Hard life might get better at new prison The Associated Press CHARLESTON The replacement prison for Central Correctional Institution is scheduled to open next year, and prison officials hope it will close the doors to a history of violence and harshness at the old facility. The 126-year-old prison, known as CCI, has been home to South Carolina's most notorious criminals, ranging from convicted murderers and kidnappers to rapists and thieves. "It's nice to have something to hold over the inmates' heads," said Bill Wallace, a veteran prison official. "You tell them, 'If you don't behave we'll send you to Derrick English of Columbia was arrested at age 23 on numerous armed robbery charges and subse- Wrecks From 1B Center. Harman said no charges had yet been filed in the accident, which is being investigated by the West Columbia Police Department and the Lexington County coroner's office.
Earlier Sunday, Kevin Todd Pohlmann of Columbia died after the car he was driving hit a tree on Collins Drive off S.C. 6 in Lexington County. Pohlmann, a student at the John De La Howe School in McCormick, apparently was exceeding the speed limit and missed the turn, Harman said. Two male passengers ages 14 and 16, whose names were withheld, suffered broken arms but managed to escape from the car. Pohlmann apparently was unable to free himself and was killed when the car exploded, Harman said.
The two passengers were treated and released from Lexington Medical Center. Other deaths over the weekend included: quently convicted, receiving a 50- year sentence at CCI. He has been there six years. "When I found out I was coming here, I was terrified," English said. "My mother even called around and tried to get me sent to some other prison, but it didn't work." Fights among inmates are a daily event; beatings, stabbings and an occasional murder are no surprise to anyone, The Courier of Charleston reported.
hom*osexual relations are common, and drugs and alcohol are relatively easy to obtain, the newspaper reported Sunday. Wallace, who has been named warden of the new prison in Lee County, said the state-of-the-art facility will offer better security for inmates and staff. It should create about 500 Gilbert T.

Staff Writer Michael Sponhour and The Associated Press contributed to this report. Effect of court ruling uncertain The Associated Press WASHINGTON Black public colleges face an uncertain future after a Supreme Court ruling that such schools in Mississippi unlawfully were kept separate and inferior.
Some predict the ruling will bring increased funding and upgraded degree programs to historically black schools. Others say it sounded a death knell for black colleges in states that would rather close them than improve them. In its ruling, the high court held that lower courts should decide how to remove the effects of past segregation from historically black, state-run jobs for the area's economy, local officials said. The open space, new equipment and improved housing also should reduce stress levels and give prisoners more incentives for rehabilitation, Wallace But the old, cramped CCI has its advantages, he said. "The way I see it, the Department of Corrections needs a CCI because some inmates are so bad they don't deserve anything nice," Wallace said.
The prison houses 1,350 inmates, all male, and the life is hard for correctional officers. Starting pay for a CCI officer is about $16,200 a year. "We're definitely underpaid for the work that we do," said Sharon Nelson, a 32-year-old who has worked at the prison for more than three Plant From 1B spot on the Saluda River where Twelve Mile Creek enters. But the city, already strapped to pay for a $15 million water treatment plant on Lake Murray, dropped out. A permit to discharge treated sewage in the Lower Saluda River expired and will not be renewed.
Since then, proposals have emerged from a group of government and business leaders called Lexington County Planning for the Future. Committees and subcommittees proposed letting Utility Resource Group design, build and operate a plant. If the Lorick Ferry plant is built, it certainly won't discharge into the Saluda River and probably won't be built on the river. A site under consideration is on the west side of Corley Mill Road, near the confluence of Twelve Mile and Fourteen Mile creeks. Under that plan, treated sewage would be piped to some discharge point on the Congaree River yet to be determined.
But even away from the river, Lorick Ferry has an environmental problem. Lorick Ferry is not the only solution for treating sewage in the creek basin. Other possibilities include sending sewage to Columbia's Metro treatment plant or to Cayce's treatment plant, which recently expanded. Another option was to treat sewage at Lorick Ferry and pipe it across to the Broad River for discharge. But Columbia draws its drinking water from the Broad River several miles downstream.
"I don't think that's going to be politically viable," said Ron Vinson, environmental planner with the Central Midlands Regional Planning Council. Paying for Lorick Ferry or its substitute is another big problem. No one government entity in fragmented Lexington County could pay for the plant. One proposed solution falling on hard times is to fornia years. "I never thought I would work here, but I needed a job and this was the first thing I was accepted at." Being a woman in an all-male prison sometimes is frightening, she said.
"But I find that being a female, it reminds the inmates of their mothers or sisters and a lot of times a female officer can intervene and keep a bad a situation from escalating better than male officer," Nelson said. The rehabilitation statistics are not great, however. The Department of Corrections said 32 percent of criminals who serve time will return to prison within two years after release. No figures were available for the number of CCI inmates who return. Joint Municipal Water and Sewer System so that cities and the county jointly could plan and build facilities.
Utility Resource Group, headed by Michael Burkhold, proposes to issue industrial revenue bonds under the county's authority to build the plant and operate it for 10 years. Then the group would turn the plant over to West Columbia or some other government. Meanwhile, as talks plod on, growth is being thwarted in an area of Lexington County across the river from the booming Irmo-St. Andrews area. West Columbia City Administrator Bill Unthank said he could have sold 600 sewer tap-ons to developers the past few months if they'd been available.
Lexington Administrator L.C. Green said he's also turning down projects every day. Meanwhile, the Sierra Club's Mina Harrington is calling for a study considering new information on treatment methods, costs, environmental implications and options for treating sewage in the basin. But city officials say they've spent enough on studies and alternatives. "This ought to be one of the best known basins in the United States," Unthank said, "we've studied it so much." colleges.
There are at least 117 black U.S. colleges, 75 of which are state-run schools. Thirty-eight are historically black. South Carolina plans to point to more than $20 million it spent on its two historically black colleges during the 1980s South Carolina State University and Denmark Technical College. "If there is any question about it, I would say we're in an entirely defensible position," said Fred Sheheen, commissioner of the State Commission on Higher Education.
The test of the ruling's impact on these schools will come with cases in Alabama and Louisiana. FUNERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS MR. WEEMS: Funeral service for Mr. James David Weems will be held at 11 o'clock this (MONDAY) morning in St. Timothy's Episcopal Church.
