"I was very happy."
Meadows said, "because
the troop itself took me
in and accepted me for
what I was. It gave me a
place to go. It gave me
an organization to be-

When he first entered
Troop 110, Meadows had
to wear leg braces. John-
son said instructors had
to steady Meadows'
hands as they showed
him how to tie knots. But
there was no corner-cut-
ting. He had to learn to
do it himself — no mat-
ter how long it took.
Meadows spent three
years, Johnson said,
learning to bowl well
enough for his sports
merit badge.
"Many times, I've
asked myself why I was

said. "It's not easy to

victs being turned out of prisons?
"Logistics," the judge explained. "Not enough
room to keep them. Every lime we send someone
to prison, somebody has to be turned out."
The answer is to build prisons, the judge said.
"Not of brick and marble, but stockades with
barbed-wire fences and guards with shotguns.
Keep convicts there until they serve a majority
of their sentences, or until they are proven to be
rehabilitated.
“The State sf Oklahoma has failed miserably
in protecting its citizens from crime," the judge
tells his audiences.
He estimates that $5 million would build a
military-type stockade that would hold a thou-
sand convicts. We've recommended time and
again that the state build such stockades.
The judge suggested that this year — an elec-
tion year — is a good time for citizens to talk to
their governor and legislators (and candidates
for those offices) to let them know we no longer
want to live in fear.

Compared with the 4
percent yearly increase
in births nationally, de-

increased an average of
22 percent a year the
past few years, the high-
est in the metropolitan
area, Wright said.
"This past (fiscal)
year it jumped from the
22 to 34 percent," he
said. A total of 2.100 ba-
bies were born at Mercy
during the fiscal year
ended June 30 and up to
3,000 a year are expect-

"Violent erime is about to inundate us ... it's
almost like an invisible government. There is no
crime-for-profit anymore. It s vicious crimes;
more and more rapes," the judge said.
"Some say the death penalty was not a deter-
rent. But when we didn't have it, we had more
violent killings. The same with rape — with no
death penalty, the rapist just killed his victim.
"Wiih the death penalty back again, we re see-
ing less murders, less killings during robberies,
less rapists killing victims.
"Crime isn't being adequately punished in Ok-
lahoma. Sentences are not being carried out.
People are being convicted of violent crimes,
sent to the penitentiary and being turned out —
that's our problem."
