US: Racial policy in Calif prison riots breaks law SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California is violating the federal Constitution when it punishes prison inmates after a riot based on their race, the U.S. Department of Justice said Friday. Gangs in California prisons typically are based on race, and riots often pit members of one race against one another or involve inmates of only one race. After the riots, officers often lock inmates in their cells based on which races were involved to prevent further violence — whether or not those inmates were involved. The Justice Department said in a court filing that the practice violates the 14th Amendment, which requires equal protection under the law. The opinion is not binding, but is part of an ongoing class-action lawsuit in federal court in Sacramento. The policy ''is not based on any individual analysis of prisoner behavior, but rather on generalized fears of racial violence. Indeed, the policy affects hundreds of prisoners throughout the (prison) system who the state acknowledges have absolutely no gang ties or history of violence,'' according to the filing signed by the chiefs of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. The state could adopt race-neutral alternatives, the Justice Department said, including locking up specific inmates who it suspects were involved in the fight, or locking down entire housing units where the riot occurred. It could also do a better job of gathering information in advance on which inmates are involved in gangs or are likely to engage in race-based violence and keep them separated. Corrections department spokeswoman Terry Thornton said the state's policy is not to base lockdowns ''solely on the inmate's race or ethnicity.'' State law says the department ''shall not target a specific racial or ethnic group unless it is necessary and narrowly tailored to further a compelling government interest.'' The U.S. Justice Department contends that the policy is too broadly written to pass constitutional muster. The lawsuit was filed in 2008 by Robert Mitchell after he was locked in his cell following a fight at High Desert State Prison in Susanville. The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation imposes more than 600 lockdowns in a typical year, at least 200 of which are based on the race of the inmates, said Rebekah Evenson, whose nonprofit Prison Law Office represents Mitchell and other inmates. No other state has a similar policy she said. ''They lock down people who were not involved in the incident, not involved in the gang and just happen to have the same color skin,'' she said. to protect yourself online: •If you did not enter to win, you most likely did not win. •Never send any payment to anyone as a requirement for receiving your prize.

Firefighter not charged in death after plane crash SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The firefighter who ran over and killed a survivor of a commercial air disaster in San Francisco was unaware of the girl's death at the time and will not be charged with any crimes, a prosecutor announced Friday. San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said firefighter Elyse Duckett was responding to the burning Boeing 777 when the truck she was driving rolled over Ye Mengyuan. Investigators believe Ye was laying prone on the tarmac and covered in firefighting foam. ''This was a dramatically chaotic situation,'' Wagstaffe said of absolving Duckett of any criminal responsibility. ''It was not a tough conclusion to reach.'' Wagstaffe said he arrived at his decision after reviewing police, fire and other first responder reports, the coroner's investigation and numerous videos of events at the scene. Ye, 16, was a Chinese student visiting the United States with classmates. Wagstaffe said some of the videos show the girl on the ground outside the plane before the area is covered in foam. Other videos have shown Duckett's rig later driving over the same area after it was covered in firefighting foam. San Francisco Fire Department Chief Joanne HayesWhite declined to discuss Ye's death other than to call it a ''tragic accident.'' Hayes-White said in a prepared statement that firefighters likely saved the lives of many critically wounded passengers scattered about the tarmac and still trapped aboard the Asiana Airlines flight that crashed landed July 6. ''If not for the professional rescue, triage, treatment and transport operations that were conducted by all involved agencies, it is likely that there would have been a greater loss of life,'' Hayes-White said. In all, 304 of the 307 people aboard the plane survived the July 6 crash. Ye and a friend were seated at the back of the plane that came in too low and too slow, clipping its landing gear and tail on a rocky seawall just short of the runway. It was unclear how Ye got from the airplane to the spot where she died. Investigators believe she was down on the ground and not standing during the aftermath of the plane crash. Anthony Tarricone, an attorney for Ye's family, said he was not surprised criminal charges were not filed. ''It's really not the subject of criminal prosecution,'' he said. ''It's properly the subject of civil action, which we intend to prosecute.'' He said he had not been in touch with Ye's family about the District Attorney's Office's decision. The cause of the crash is under investigation. The National Transportation Safety Board has said it did not find any mechanical problems with the plane during a preliminary review. But the plane's pilots, as well as the airline, have raised the possibility that a key device that controls the Boeing 777's speed may have malfunctioned.
