Activists Will Target Unequal ImpactOn Minorities,Seek More Care Funding\n\nActivists are organizing forcriminal justice reforms that willaddress the drug war's dispropor-tionate impact on minorities and in-crease federal funding for substanceabuse treatment.  \nMore than 75 percent cf offend-ers serving drug-related sentencesare blacks and Hispanics,althoughDepartment of Health and HumanServices surveys show most of thenation's drug users are white.  \nBecause Native Americans catribal lands are subject to federailaw,Indians comprise almost two-thirds of those prosecuted for crimi-nal offenses in federal courts.  \n\"Virtually every drug war pol-icy from racial profiling to length ofsentencing is disproportionately car-ried out against minorities,\"saidDeborah Small,director of publicpolicy and community outreach forthe Drug Policy Alliance.  \nThe alliance sponsored an anti-drug conference in Los Angeles thatattracted delegates from Europe andthe United States.Key speakers in-cluded California Rep.MaxineWaters,Texas Rep.Ciro Rodriguez,Massachusetts Rep.Barney Frank.  \nOne of the primary themes ofthe conference was the failure of in-carceration without treatment.  \nFederal and state governmentsspent S40 billion for drug enforce-ment and prevention last year com-pared with $1 billion in 1980.  \nBut street-level dealing anddrug trafficking by almost anymeasure are continuing to increase,drug prices are faling and the qual-ity and purity of illicit drugs ishigher than at any time.  \nCommunities as diverse as in-ner city Baltimore and rural Maineare recording unprecedented num-bcrs of heroin overdose deaths be.cause users are unaccustomed to thepurity of drugs they can buy now.  \nFormer Baltimore Mayor KurtSchmoke estimated 60 percent ofblacks whe die from AIDS contractthe disease by injecting drugs.  \nSchmoke called for more atten-tion to drug abuse as “a publichealth problem,not a criminal one.”  \nIn Australia,which has adopteda treatment-oriented approach todrug addiction,Australian publichealth specialist James A.Pitts saidthe rate of AIDS among injectiondrug users is the lowest among ad-vanced industrial countries.  \nFaith leaders also said religiouscommunities have to become moreinvolved in working with drug usersand health clinics that serve them.  \n                 CORRECTIONS DIGEST  \nPage 2  \n## OHIO PLANS TO CLOSE 2MORE UNITS,CUT JOBS\n\nOhio Gov.Bob Taft announcedthe closing of two more correctionalfacilities and possibly cutting hun-dreds of more prison jobs.  \nTaft last year closed one adultand one juvenile prison to address astate budget shortfall that has con-tinued to deepen.  \nThe Corrections Departmentsaid shuttering the units would trimmore than $30 million from its cur-rent budget.  \nThe governor designated theLima Correctional Institution thathas 1,565 men and the RiverviewJuvenile Correctional Facility thathouses 119 girls.  \nThe number of layoffs at theadult and juvenile prisons will bedetermined by the number whotransfer to other facilities or takeearly retirement incentives,state of-ficials said.  \nOfficials
