Arizonans Spent 9 Percent of their Income on Fuel in March
Fuel prices appear to be reaching a plateau, but motorists across the country are still facing pump prices near $4. AAA Arizona says the Arizona statewide average dropped nearly a penny this week to $3.89 a gallon. The national average increased 1.5 cents to nearly $3.94 gallon. Here in Globe-Miami, gas prices are around $3.90.
The Oil Price Information Service says the percentage of income that the average Arizona household spends on gasoline jumped to 9% in March. This is the fifth most expensive month since they began tracking the data in 2000. The last time fuel spending totaled 9% in Arizona was in May of 2008, the same year Arizona hit an all time fuel price high.

Gila County Least Healthy in Arizona
A national heath report released this week ranks Gila County last in Arizona for certain health indicators. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation studied more than 3,000 US counties and ranked them from healthiest to least healthy in each state.
Cronkite News Service reports that the entire state falls well short of national averages on a range of health indicators, from the prevalence of fast food restaurants to the availability of primary care physicians and the teen birth rate.
Gila County’s poor showing for health outcomes is based on its premature death rates, percentage of low-birthweight babies, and reported days of poor physical and mental health. Gila County’s premature death rates are about 50% higher than the state as a whole.
The county’s poor health outcomes come in spite of the fact that it ranked in the middle for health factors such as tobacco use, diet and exercise, and access to care.

International Human Rights Group Accuses Arizona of Abuse in Prisons
The human rights group Amnesty International has issued a report saying that Arizona’s state prisons overuse solitary confinement in cruel, inhumane ways, especially for mentally ill prisoners and juveniles as young as 14. The report says that Arizona prisons use solitary confinement as a punishment more than most other states and the federal government.
Amnesty found that some inmates are held in solitary confinement for months and sometimes years. It calls for Arizona to use the practice only as a last resort and only for a short duration. It also asks that the practice not be used against children or prisoners who are mentally ill.
Amnesty found that 35% of inmates in maximum security were committed for non-violent crimes.The report mentions cases of inmates who have been in solitary confinement continuously for 15 years.
The Arizona Republic reports that last July, Corrections officials declined to meet with Amnesty representatives from London who were visiting Arizona.
The Amnesty International report says that out of the 37 cases of suicide between October 2005 and April 2011 in which it was able to collect information, 60% took place in maximum-custody solitary units. There have been at least eight more suicides and 16 other deaths since April 2011 that the Corrections Department only describes as “under investigation.”
