More States Should Do This
New York State had the lowest prison phone rates of any state in the country, at 4.8 cents per minute for local and long-distance calls. The reason, he said, is that the state passed a law prohibiting prisons from accepting commissions from phone service providers. Contracts are negotiated, with an emphasis on providing the lowest cost to users. Imagine that.

Governor Fallin signs criminal justice reform bill
Staff Report
Published: 29-Jun-2014
Published: 29-Jun-2014
OKLAHOMA CITY – Governor Mary Fallin held a ceremonial bill signing for Senate Bill 1278 on Thursday, June 19 in the Blue Room at the Oklahoma State Capitol.
Sen. Kim David, R-Porter and participants of the 31 participants of the Women in Recovery program joined the governor as she signed the bill into law.
S.B. 1278 is legislation that allows the state of Oklahoma to enter into a Pay for Success (PFS) contract to make positive changes in our state without financial risk. SB 1278 uses PFS contracting to enable private donors to provide upfront funding for a diversion program like Women in Recovery, and the state refunds the investment back into the program only if measurable successes are achieved.
The bill helps improve outcomes, such as reduced rates of incarceration, for individuals involved in the criminal justice system. Passage of the bill makes Oklahoma an early adopter of a new financing system for criminal justice reform efforts nationwide.
“Women in Recovery is giving me a chance to change my life for the better,” said Shawna Stice, a current participant of the program. “After six months of being in the program, I’m reunited with my three children and am receiving the support I need to be successful.”
In an interview with CapitolBeatOK, Stice said Women in Recovery “means everything to me now.”
Women in Recovery (WIR) is an alternative to incarceration for nonviolent female offenders that combines strict supervision with a comprehensive day treatment program.
The City Sentinel, CapitolBeatOK.com and Watchdog.org have frequently covered the organization's work.
Enactment of S.B. 1278 is an initial step toward implementation of the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI) championed by former Oklahoma House Speaker Kris Steel, R-Shawnee.
WIR's services include comprehensive case management, supervised visitation with children, job search assistance, substance abuse treatment, employment and vocational training, housing placement, medical services, counseling and life skills training and community integration.
WIR is funded by George Kaiser Family Foundation and operated by Family & Children’s Services in Tulsa.

American Federation for Children aims to advance school choice in Oklahoma
Patrick B. McGuigan
Published: 11-Jul-2014
Published: 11-Jul-2014
OKLAHOMA CITY – After having helped two school choice candidates to victories in the June 24 primary the American Federation for Children (AFC) has planted its flag in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City print and broadcasting media titan Russell Perry and Tulsa businessman Bob Sullivan make up the leadership for the recently launched Oklahoma Federation for Children (OFC) leadership.
Perry, owner of several radio stations nationwide and publisher of The Black Chronicle said in a press release, “It is time for the Republican Legislature to catch up with its voters and deliver for the children of Oklahoma.”
Sullivan, Perry’s co-chair, said in the release, “The Republican base wants bolder reforms and more educational choices for Oklahoma’s families.”
The Oklahoma affiliate will have the parent organization’s think tank, lobbying muscle, political action committee and fundraising arm at its disposal, Scott Jensen, senior adviser for AFC.
“We will provide a counter-balance to the clout and sheer power of the education establishment in Oklahoma politics,” Jensen said.
Jensen, once a rising star in the Republican party and the speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly, is involved again in politics after a decade fighting charges he used taxpayer-paid staff members to help him conduct his political campaigns.
He resigned from office in 2006 after a conviction barred him from running again for political office in Wisconsin. He eventually settled on appeal to misdemeanor misconduct charges.
Jensen cut his political teeth as an aide to Gov. Tommy Thompson who championed pioneering school choice measures in the 1990s.
Jensen has never lost passion for the issue.
His organization has come to Oklahoma to change minds in the Legislature, he told Oklahoma Watchdog.
“The number one issue is that not all the Republicans are supportive of choice, and some who are sympathetic are not aggressive in support,” Jensen said. “Those legislators tend to be responsive to the largest interests, the concentrations of power among their constituents. These include school district officials, members of school boards, superintendents and teacher union members.”
To that end, AFC threw its weight behind four primary races, helping win two. Rep. Anastasia Pittman, D-Oklahoma City, will move into the state Senate if she defeats a Republican foe in her heavily Democratic district. Incumbent Republican state Sen. AJ Griffin of Guthrie rebuffed a primary challenger.
Polls in Oklahoma show majority support for educational choice in general and in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, the only jurisdictions in the state where they are presently permitted.
The poll found Republican support for public charter schools was higher in rural areas which presently do not have charters.
“Frankly, some local chambers of commerce are standing in the way of school choice,” Jensen said. “However, the state Chamber is strongly for choice in education.”
Note: The Tarrance Group poll of 600 likely Republican primary voters was conducted June 8-10. Bruce Nienaber of The Tarrance Group, which conducted the survey for AFC, characterized the sample size as “fully representative … based on the latest voter registration figures within the state.” In a memorandum to OFC supporters, Nienaber said the sample “is such that 95 percent of the time results will be within +/- 4.1 percent of the ‘true values’” that would be found if it were possible to interview every likely GOP primary voter.

Oklahoma ranked as eleventh most corrupt state in analysis of federal data
atrick B. McGuigan
Published: 02-Jul-2014
Published: 02-Jul-2014
OKLAHOMA CITY – Researchers at Indiana University and the University of Hong Kongranked Oklahoma the eleventh most corrupt state in America.
John L. Mikesell, of Indiana, and Cheol Liu of Hong Kong, studied 25,000 convictions of public officials for violations of federal anti-corruption laws nationwide between 1976 and 2008.
Their analysis was posted at the Public Administration Review.
Mississippi topped the most corrupt list, followed by Louisiana, Tennessee, Illinois, Pennsylvania,Alabama, Alaska, South Dakota, Kentucky, and Florida.
Oregon ranked as the least corrupt state, followed by Washington, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Utah, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Vermont, and Wisconsin.
“I don’t think anyone who has studied Oklahoma’s political history and culture will be surprised by this study’s findings, Andrew C. Spiropoulos, director of State Constitutional Law and Government atOklahoma City University, said. “We have suffered from a historically high level of political corruption because of several factors. We are a relatively poor state, with limited economic opportunity in the private sector, making public money and jobs more important.”
The period of the study includes the early 1980s when Oklahoma courts convicted or took guilty pleas in a massive county commissioner scandal.
“We are also a state with a strong populist culture, in which politicians who, legitimately or not, use public power and resources to help out the little guy, Spiropoulos said. “For a century, with few exceptions, we lived under one party rule, which provided few checks on those inclined to feed at the public trough.”
While some state analysts believe things have improved in recent years, former Senate President Pro Temp Mike Morgan, Auditor and Inspector Jeff McMahan, state Sen. Debbe Leftwich, all Democrats, and Republican state Rep. Randy Terrill, have been convicted of bribery since 2008.
"Given recent events in Oklahoma, it appears that parts of this corruption are still with us today," R. Keith Gadde, chairman of the political science department at the University Oklahoma, said in an interview.
State Democratic Party Chairman Wallace Collins told Oklahoma Watchdog increased use of state tax subsidies and tax breaks by Republicans creates a climate of corruption.
State Republican Party Chairman Dave Weston did not respond to a request for comment.
“Electing good people, having government financial transparency laws and internal control systems, and rigorously prosecuting violators can dramatically reduce the level of corruption, but it can’t be totally eliminated,” said Vance Fried, director of the Institute for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater.
“As long as you have government officials with the ability to spend a lot of taxpayer’s money, you will have some corruption.”
Mississippi Watchdog has reported the 10 most-corrupt states could have reduced per capita spending by an average of $1,308 if they had merely average corruption levels.
“The study found states in the top 10 tend to focus spending on ‘bribe-generating’ spending and items directly beneficial to public officials such as capital projects, construction, highways, borrowing and total salaries and wages,” the story said.

What lawmakers didn't do to end the crisis in our prisons - Oklahoma Policy Institute
http://okpolicy.org/lawmakers-didnt-end-crisis-prisons?utm_source=feedly&utm_reader=feedly
HEART BREAKING! How is this at all necessary or legal this is far out of control. I can't imagine, tears stream my face as I type I myself have a 19 month old. Police Militarization is complete bullshit when did the citizens of the free world country become unjustifyably over policed stripped of their civil liberties and human rights? Burned Babies and the Militarization of American Policing
OMG! Seriously? Can we say OVERKILL? Or is that also illegal? How can anyone even begin to try and justify that many Officers just open fire on an unarmed woman not only killing her who was of real immediate threat to them but there was a baby in the car as well. But what seriously pisses me off is that no charges will be filled in a situation like this where a seeminly harmless unarmed woman can have a firing squad unleash on her yet all these unforgivable criminals that do sick twisted shit to kids or serial killers no one can ever pretend they have a gun and unleash the firing squad on them the people who deserve it! No Charges in Fatal Shooting of Unarmed Single Mother in Washington, D.C.
This is Absolutely Horrifying America is falling apart! Who protects us when our government has gone rouge, what happens when they are basically terrorists? Our Bill of Rights, Civil Liberties, human rights as citizens of America are being violated! Who Polices the Police? 45,000 SWAT Raids Are Terrorizing Families Every Year in the US

Bridenstine: I couldn't get in to see illegal minors at Fort Sill
One of several buses believed to be transporting immigrant children arrives Friday at Fort Sill in Lawton. Photo by Paul Hellstern, The Oklahoman PAUL HELLSTERN -
Rep. Jim Bridenstine, R-Tulsa, said he was denied access Tuesday to the Fort Sill facility housing unaccompanied minors who have illegally crossed the U.S. border.
Bridenstine made a visit to the Health and Human Services Department facility at the U.S. Army post in southwestern Oklahoma and was told he couldn’t enter and should email an HHS official to make an appointment. He was told July 21 would be the earliest date he could visit.
Gov. Mary Fallin and Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, visited the facility on June 20.
Bridenstine said, “There is no excuse for denying a federal representative from Oklahoma access to a federal facility in Oklahoma where unaccompanied children are being held.
“Any member of Congress should have the legal authority to visit a federal youth detention facility without waiting three weeks.”
Bridenstine said he visited the base commander and approached the barracks where the children are housed.
” A new fence has been erected by HHS, completely surrounding the barracks and covered with material to totally obscure the view,” he said. “Every gate is chained closed.
“I approached a security guard and asked to speak with the manager of the facility. The guard called his supervisor who said no visitors were allowed. I asked if they were aware that I am a Member of Congress. Eventually the manager came out and said that I would have to go through HHS legislative affairs and that the first chance to visit would be July 21st.
“What are they trying to hide? Do they not want the children to speak with Members of Congress? As a Navy pilot, I have been involved in operations countering illicit human trafficking. I would like to know to whom these children are being released.”
UPDATE:
A statement issued Wednesday by the Administration for Children and Families at the Health and Human Services Department says:
“We have been facilitating tours of our temporary shelters at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Naval Base Ventura County-Port Hueneme and Fort Sill as frequently as possible without disrupting our ability to properly care for the children as part of this humanitarian situation.
“In addition to four media tours, HHS has provided five tours for approximately 55 local, state and federal elected officials who had requested the opportunity to observe the facilities, meet the staff and interact with the children.
“We will continue to schedule these tours of temporary shelters on a regular basis with any officials who request them.”
Alex Weintz, a spokesman for Fallin, said Wednesday that the governor’s visit on June 20 followed an invitation from the Health and Human Services Department.
“However, the governor has the same concerns about transparency that Congressman Bridenstine has,” Weintz said. “They would not allow her or our staff to take pictures. They barred access _ and continue to Bar access _ the media. We have requested they allow reporters in.”
A won't prosecute officers in Warren Theatre death
This cellphone video screen capture shows Moore police officers restraining Luis Rodriguez in the parking lot at the Warren Theatre on Feb. 15. Rodriguez died after the incident and the state medical examiner’s office Wednesday announced that Rodriguez’s death is classified as a homicide.
The officers’ use of force was “justified and appropriate under the law” in the police action just before the death of Luis Rodriguez, 44.
MOORE — The officers who attempted to detain Luis Rodriguez outside the Warren Theatre earlier this year won’t face criminal charges, Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn notified the Moore Police Department on Friday.
Rodriguez died shortly after the incident, in which three Moore police officers and two game wardens struggled to handcuff the man in the parking lot February 15. The state medical examiner determined Rodriguez died of a heart condition known as cardiac arrhythmia, brought on by physical restraint.
In his findings, Mashburn said the use of force by the officers was “justified and appropriate under the law.”
The officers — Sgt. Brian Clarkston, officer Ryan Minard and officer Joseph Bradley, who are employed by the Moore Police Department, and game wardens Tyler Howser and Chad Strang — are expected to return to work.
