I Page 10-Tuesday, June 2, 1981--The Michigan Daily Ypsi warden denies reports Marquette rioters won't be transferred (Continued from Page 1) According to Rudolf Stahlberg, Regional Prison Administrator for Southeastern Michigan, prison security will be uppermost in the minds of Huron Valley officials. "We're making every humanly possible effort to make this a secure in- - stitution and to ensure the safety of the community," said Stahlberg. STAHLBERG SAID the typical in- mate slated for transfer to the new facility will be one who has "earned the privilege" through a history of good behavior in other maximum-security institutions, particularly Marquette. "Those who have earned their way at Marquette will be given first choice. There will always be special cases, but the majority will be those who have done some time in Marquette and have done it well. It will give them the oppor- tunity to be closer to home," according toStahlberg. Stahlberg emphasized that since the overcrowding s' uation has reached epidemichpropotions in the state prisons, he would like to open the facility earlier than the September 1 target date, but due to administrative problems, it's unlikely. "WHILE WE would like to improve on the September 1 date, I doubt if we can improve by more than 2-3 weeks at best, because we will not have the adequate staffing in place until then," said Stahlberg. John Rubitschun, administrative assistant for the State Bureau of Public Information, said the facility will hire 267 employees at an annual operating budget of $2.1 million. The facility itself cost $20 million and will house ap- proximately 420 inmates at capacity. "The administrative management will come primarily from other in- stitutions and already have experience in the field of corrections," said Rubit- schun. IN ADDITION TO recreational programs, Rubitschun said the new 4 4 0 Daily Photo by PAUL ENGSTRQM A REPORTER INSPECTS a vacant inmate cell block of the new Huron Valley maximum security prison to be opened soon near Ann Arbor.

These will include: classes leading to the completion of a high school equivalency diploma, auto body repair, appliance repair, upholstering, building maintenance, and office prac- tices. "I think it's going to be a stable tran- sition," said Washtenaw County Sheriff Tom Minick. He maintained that much of the community concern is undue, and has been generated by the recent rioting at Ionia, Marquette, and Jackson state prisons. "I'm afraid there could become un- necessary (public) reaction because of what happened at Jackson," said Minick. The National Coalition to Prevent Shoplifting, based in Atlanta, is the largest citiens' program on crime prevention in the United States. It was organized in 1979.
