Prisoner at Private Prison Beaten Into a Coma
A prisoner at a private prison in Idaho was beaten into a coma while prison guards watched. A surveillance video leaked to the Associated Press shows the man pleading for help and banging on a prison guard station window, but no one steps out to help him.
Shortly after the beating stops, the cellblock door opens and the prisoner is checked for signs of life. He spent three days in a coma.
Idaho Correctional Center is owned by Corrections Corporation of America. Lawsuits from inmates claim that the company denies medical treatment as a way to cover up such assaults.
Click here to watch the video.
(Are there STILL local politicians who think a private prison in Globe--or anywhere else-- is a good idea?)

Gila County Working to Alleviate Tonto Basin Flooding
The Gila County Public Works Department says it is working on three separate projects to help flooding problems in the Tonto Basin area. They have contracted with Westland Resources to try to obtain a permit to allow the replacement of missing riprap on the water diversion dike above the Roosevelt Gardens East Subdivision. Riprap is rock or concrete used to stabilize stream flows. This would help alleviate future flooding in that area.
County staff has also contacted the US Forest Service and Corp of Engineers to coordinate a project to remove dead and down wood.
Gila County is also looking into the possibility of removing some sandbars or islands located in the Tonto Creek area that do not contain critical habitat. County staff is currently working to identify the specific sandbars or islands for further discussion with the agencies that regulate these areas.
If you’d like more information about these projects, contact the Gila County Public Works Department.

San Carlos Apache Tribe Wants To Join
Bald Eagle Suit
The San Carlos Apache Tribe is asking a federal judge for permission to join a suit seeking to return Endangered Species Act protections to Arizona's bald eagles.
A federal judge ruled in October that desert nesting bald eagles can be removed from the lists. The Center for Biological Diversity in Tucson then filed a lawsuit to keep about 200 desert bald eagles protected.
The government does not consider Arizona’s eagles to be separate from those elsewhere in the nation. They were declared no longer endangered in 2007.
The San Carlos Apache Tribe says that the eagles are fundamental to their religion.
