ELLIS C. MacDOUGALL
COMMISSIONER

The Honorable Jimmy Carter Governor of Georgia
and The Georgia General Assembly State Capitol Atlanta . Georgia
Gentlemen :
Submitted herewith is the Annual Report of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1971 , and ending June 30, 1972. T his report sum marizes the activities and high lights of our Department during the past year, including detailed financial and statistical data.
Many significant changes have taken place during the past year with particular emphasis being placed on the implementation of the Reorganization Act. T hrough the merger of the State Board of Corrections, the State Departm ent of Probations and the State Board of Pardons and Parole, we are now able to operate more effectively.
As a result of your support and passage of numerous important pieces of criminal justice legislation, our Department has made great strides toward implementing a meaningful rehabil itative program. Our objectives are yet unattained, and I solicit your continued support and advice as we move forward in making Georgia's penal system one of the best in the nation .
Respectfully submitted, /

* The department realized a net savings of $80,000 annually by transferring inmate tubercular patients to a separate wing at Georgia State Prison.

The above listed institutions were closed due to the operational cost, lack of rehabilitative programs and the size. As a result of these closures, the department realized a savings of one and a half million dollars annually.

Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Program
FRANK BEEMAN, Assistant Deputy Commissioner Program Development Division
The abuse of alcohol and other drugs continues to increase nation-wide; and in the State of Georgia this problem has resulted in an increased number of arrests and incarcerations. The estimated number of inmates confined within the Georgia Penal System for crimes related to drug abuse is approximately 3,000 and for crimes involving alcohol, or alcoholic abuse, about 1,500. These figures represent conservatively about 50 percent of the total inmate population. The actual number of documented cases for drug offenders rose graphically from 431 in 1971 to 537 in 1972. This is a 25 percent increase in those actually charged with drug abuse. This rise in the known or identified cases of persons incarcerated for drug abuse indicates a concomitant rise in individuals charged with crimes related to, or resulting from, drug abuse but not charged specifically with drug abuse.
To meet this increased number of incarcerations for drug and alcohol abuse and related crimes, it was necessary for the alcohol and drug abuse program to institute basic rehabilitative services at a rate which would be considered a normal pace for implementation of a service program. Programmatic increase at the institutional level in drug rehabilitation has risen from one program to ten, which is a 90 percent increase in provision of services for the drug offender. In the area of alcohol abuse, programs have increased from ten to nineteen, or a 90 percent

increase. In terms of individuals involved, 165 inmates are now receiving services through the drug program and 425 are being served by Alcoholics Anonymous.
A tremendous impact on the Drug Abuse Program was the receiving of a Federal grant in the amount of $304,657 for the establishment of a Pre-Release Center for the housing and care of drug offenders six months prior to their release and to aid them in their readjustment to society.
This program will be broken into three-month segments. The first three months will be given to attitudes and behavior as related to the overall community "out there." The second three months will be spent assisting inmates to find the appropriate community resources necessary for successful re-entry into the free world. This center will be in operation by January 1973 and will house from 50 to 75 inmates.
This rapid expansion necessitated the recruiting and training of treatment teams from each major institution. A phasic approach was used. Selected institutional therapy teams were provided 50 hours of intensive training during the months of January, May, and June. The basic model for this training was patterned after a highly successful program at the Federal Penitentiary in Marion, Illinois. Consultants from the Marion program were provided by LEAA assistance. The primary therapeutic techniques taught were Transactional Reality Therapy, with its emphasis on responsibility and there-here-and now; Gestalt Therapy, with its emphasis on the response to the total situation. Also emphasized was the necessity of understanding and bringing about personal awareness. As of June 30, 1972, ten state correctional institutions are involved in this program.
In the Alcohol Abuse Program a State Supervisor and a consultant were hired to coordinate and expand the already existing A.A. institutional programs and to plan and implement further treatment programs. There are twelve state correctional institutions and seven county correctional institutions with A.A.

Chaplaincy Services
The Chaplaincy Service w ithin the Department of Offender Rehab i litation plays an important role in lessening the burdens of incarceration both to the inmate and his family by offering the following religious programs:
1. Worship Services, including the Sacraments and Special Rites, are conducted weekly in each institution. In addition, special religious programs at all State institutions are planned at Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving. Whenever security permits, families of inmates are also allowed to participate in worship services.
2. Religious Education, representing all faiths, is offered to inmates which involves Bible Study Courses and character education classes.
3. Individual/ group counseling and therapy is conducted by clinical chaplains for inmates, institutional person nel, and their families .
4. Pastoral calling is performed by the clinical chaplain which involves regular visits to cell blocks, dormitories, hospitals, and on work details.
In addition to the regular services rendered by chaplains, the Chaplaincy Services has initiated the following special programs:
The Family Orientation Program, the first unique program of its kind within the United States, seeks to lessen the emotional impact of incarceration upon an inmate's family by providing a meeting in one of the major cities in Georgia where family

"Religious leaders have supplied the basic concepts of modern penology... the dignity of human personality.. .the redemptive power of love and the futility of brutal and vindictive punishment...it is to the religious leadership within the prison that we must look to help the prisoners understand the creative and regenerative power of love... "
Sociologi st Mabie Ell iott
members can ask a panel of correctional specialist any relevant questions pertaining to correctional detention . Basic priso n policies and regulations are also explained to the group. Th is year 671 families participated in the program, bringing the tota l to over 400,000 since its inception in 1967.
The Inmate Welfare Club, directed by Chaplaincy Services at Georgia State Prison, is an organization composed of inmates who give their own money to aid families of inmates who experience extreme financial stress and to assist inmates who need funds to attend a family member's funeral or send flowers when death occurs in the family of an inmate. Since inception of the club in October 1971, over 400 inmates have become
Inmate Welfare Club, GSP

members. Inmates have contributed over $3,000.00 of their money and spent over $2,000.00 in aiding approximately 300 causes involving inmates and their families .
The Department of Offender Rehabilitation has eleven full time chaplains and fifteen part-time chaplains. To illustrate the high degree of competency required of full -time chaplains, the following qualifications include:
1. Degree from an accredited college
2. One year clinical training from an accredited institution
3. Three years graduate work beyond college
4. Three years as a pastor of a church or parish
5. Denominational approval
Part-time chaplains are required to attend an intensive train ing program under the supervision of two full -time clinical chaplains which is conducted for a week at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center.
Efforts to keep chaplains up to date are met by monthly meetings of all full -time chaplains and quarterly meetings of part-time chaplains. All Chaplains are required to give monthly reports of their work. For the first time , a week -long seminar with outside professional staff was conducted for all full -time chaplains.
The Suicide Prevention Program is conducted by the Chaplains at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center. The program was initiated in July 1971 when two suicides occurred within ten days. Whenever signs of depression, verbalized suicidal feelings, or attempted suicide are evidenced, an inmate is placed in the program to undergo individual and group coun seling. The counseling sessions meet for approximately one hour three times a week. This program is closely coordinated with the Medical Service Department.

Suicide Prevention Group, GDCC
The purpose of the Suicide Prevention Program is to give support, human concern and warmth to those who have low self-esteem and feelings of hopelessness. The strength of this treatment program is personal concern and care involved in building a basic trust.
The Community Treatment Program is a clinically designed psychotherapeutic treatment program whose purpose is to enable inmates to change irresponsible behavior patterns and feelings. This is done through a combination of group and individual reality therapy and environmental control sessions (discipline, rewards, work and school assignment) under the direction of the clinical chaplains at the Georgia Industrial Institute. After 16 months in operation, the recidivism rate for the Community Treatment Program still remains at zero .
The First Offender Program operates under the direction of the chaplains at Georgia Industrial Institute. The youthful offender coming into prison for the first time is placed in a special unit with other first offenders only and undergoes a clinically designed psychotherapeutic treatment program that greatly enhances positive attitudinal change.

Counseling Program
Group Counseling, GSP
DEAN BRIDGES, Assistant Deputy Commissioner Program Development Division
An inmate's entry into the correctional system is usually the consequence of Iife-long interpersonal and perceptual behavior problems. Incarceration often accentuates the intensity of his confusion regarding an adequate life-style and positive goals. Through the rehabilitative approaches of the correctional coun seling staff, the Department of Offender Rehabilitation attempts to intervene in the inmate's cognitive and affective processes to effect attitudinal and functional changes. The counselor is often an agent of change in providing the inmate with interpersonal support, stimulating his personal growth in dealing with life's vital issues, and aiding him in becoming a more self-sustaining ind ividual.
The counselor's roles and functions are multifaceted. While he intercedes in the inmate's personal and institutional crisis,

he also guides the inmate's long-range rehabilitative treatm ent program through Iiaison with institutional programs such as drug groups, education, and Guides for Better Living. To have effective professional impact, he necessarily nourishes com municative relationships with administrative and correctio nal officer staff and subcultures.
One of the counselor's major functions is the coordinati on of rehabilitation programs in the institutional setting as w ell as the utilization of community resources to complement such programs. To keep pace with developments in the helping professions, counseling staffs have been involved this year in workstudy academic prog rams, orientation and in-service trainin g, seminars, warden's conferences, and regional and national conferences and seminars.
Several noteworthy accomplishments transpired during Fiscal Year 1972. The Guides for Better Living Program was begun in in every State institution which is unique in that Georgia is the only State in the nation with inmate instructors in every institution. Several institutions utilized local college students as supportive aides in the counseling process. The counselin g staff increased from 20 to 37. Regional seminars and work shops were established for the first time .:
Special emphasis in FY 1973 will be the maintenance and sophistication of existing programs and the development of some new directions. Planning will involve establishment of teamwork treatment systems in institutions with a systematic format. Recruitment will hinge, in part, on the development of a recruitment brochure. Pre-release programs will be refined. Close coordination and liaison between the counseling programs of the Community-Based Services Division and Program Planning Division will be an important trend .
The close of FY 1972 is best typified by expectancy, chal lenge, and potential with the establishment of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation. The counseling section is com mitted to offender rehabilitation in the new departmental structure.

Education
Program Development Division ANN DELATTE, Assistant Deputy Commissioner for Education WAYNE KNIGHT, Vocational Field Supervisor
The goal of vocational and academic education in the cor rectional setting is to provide the offender with opportun ities to make up for frequent educational, occupational, and social skill deficiencies requisite to maintaining gainful employment and fulfilling societal responsibilities upon release. In the institutional setting, education and training are viewed not as separate entities but as integral parts of the total treatment process.

Currently , all state facilities offer basic education programs which span from literacy training to General Education Development (GED), or high school equivalency preparation . Under the joint sponsorship of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation and the State Department of Education, GED Certificates were awarded last year to 145 adult inmates who had successfully completed the high school equivalency ex aminat ion.
The youthfu I offender institution--Georgia Industrial In stitute at Alto--operates a fully accredited school under the auspices of the State Board of Education . There are 46 inmates involved in Phase I of Adult Centered Education classes and 110 enrolled in Phase II. One-hundred and ninety-seven students are enrolled in the high school section while 24 are studying for their GED certificate.
Comprehensive learning laboratories have been established at Walker, Montgomery, and Stone Mountain Co rrectional Institutions. These labs use latest educational technology and programmed -instructional materials in a three-phase approach : (1) a reading lab for achievement levels 1.0 through 3.9, (2) the system of Individually Prescribed Instruction (IPI) which was successfully researched and field -tested by Rehabilitative Re search Foundation for levels 4.0 through 12.0, (3) supplemen tary GED preparation materials for levels 8.0 through 12.0. Library -Resource Centers supply a variety of supportive materi als.
These learning laboratories represent a major step in the direction of an adult-oriented, non -traditional educational "system" equipped for effective assessment of individual learning deficiencies; prescription of specific materials; careful management of the learning program; short-range incentives; and evaluation of the student's prograss and the program as a whole. This system is given impetus by the processing of in mates through the Georgia Diagnostic & Classification Center and by the development of treatment teams within the insti tutions. These institutions will hopefully serve as education

demonstration and tra1n1ng centers for other institutions. Already materials have been procured to expand the approach to Wayne Correctional Institution .
Dur ing the past year, most of the institutions have had only part-time teachers supplied either through the Department of Offender Rehabilitation or the county school systems' allocation from the State Adult Basic Education Program. Full -time teachers, who can devote all their time and preparation toward the inmate's education, are now working with the learning labs and on July 1, 1972, at least one full-time educator will be provided in each state institution.
College-level programs are available through correspondence courses and through an Educational Release Program which is in its infancy. Of the fourteen persons who have participated in educational release , eleven have taken college courses and three have taken vocational courses. Four men and four women have completed the courses they began; six persons are currently in the program . Funding for this program has come from the Veterans Administration , Vocational Rehabilitation, and the inmate's personal funds .
In -house college courses are offered at the Diagnostic Center and the College Level Equivalency Program (CLEP) is conducted at Georgia Training and Development Center by Brenau College.
Library, GSP

All State institutions now have libraries though some are minimal by accepted standards. Library grants awarded over the past few years have established basic resources; these efforts are supplemented by loans from Regional and County Library Services.
Peripheral academic programs have been implemented. Fo r example, in conjunction with Georgia Consumer Services Office a six -week consumer education program was developed and implemented at the Atlanta Advancement Center and at Georgia Training and Development Center. From this pilot project, a Curriculum Guide will be developed and the program expanded, particularly into community -based settings.
In addition, Innovative Sciences Incorporated packages in math and reading were placed in Georgia Industrial Institute, Lee Correctional Institution, and the Diagnostic and Classification Center. The effectiveness of these materials in teaching low-achievers is being analyzed by the Research Section within the Department of Offender Rehabilitation.
Vocational education is offered at fourteen institutions within the Correctional System but is most prominent at the Georgia Industrial Institute for youthfu I offenders and at Georgia Training and Development Center. At Georgia

Industrial Institute, the twelve vocational courses are all operated by the Georgia Department of Education . The courses offered are:
1. Plumbing 2. Small Engine Repair 3. Upholstery 4. Welding 5. Woodworking 6. Air Conditioning and Heating 7. Auto Body & Fender Repair 8. Auto Mechanics 9. Barbering 10. Electrical Repair 11. Food Service Tra ining 12. Masonry
Presently, there are 164 youthful offenders involved in the vocational education courses (many attend academic classes on half-day basis and vocational programs half-day).
Almost the total population (approximately 140) at Georgia Training and Development Center is involved in the education program. Georgia Training and Development Center is entirely for the purpose of vocational training and includes basic education supportive of the skill training. It is funded by the Manpower Development & Training Act (MOTA) through the Georgia State Department of Labor and is administered by the Departments of Education, Labor and Offender Rehabilitation.
The seven vocational offerings include: 1. Auto Mechanics 2. Building Maintenance 3. Drafting and Graphic Arts 4. Bricklaying 5. Barbering 6. Welding 7. Small Gas Engine and Motorcycle Repair

Drafting Class, GT&DC
M.D.T .A. also supports a cosmetology course at Georgia Rehabilitation Center for Women. T hrou gh the local Voca tional Rehabilitation Center, an add it ion al 18 w omen are rece iving training in such areas as f ood serv ice, business education, barbering, upholstery, home and family management and nurse' s aide training .
Through funding by the State Board of Ed uca t ion and the joint design effort of Education and Offe nder Rehabilitation, two vocational clusters will provide t rai ning f or 60 inmates at Walker Correctional Institution bef ore the end of 1972. The metals cluster will include sh eet metal, welding, and machine shop ; the building trades cluster will provide training in masonry and carpentry . This effo rt wi ll be linked, where possi ble, with the programs of th e nearby Wa lker Vocational Technical School.
At Stone Mountain Correct ional Instituti on , several work details t o Stone Mountairt Stat e Park have been structured as certified on -the-job training progra ms through the joint efforts

of the Park Authority, DeKalb Vocational School, Correctional Industries, and Offender Rehabilitation. The on-the-job training includes heavy equipment operation, stone and brick masonry, auto mechanics, offset printing, and apprentice electrician.
In consideration of the academic program, teachers will be trained to be Classroom Managers rather than the traditional "seat of all knowledge" teachers. They will be given opportunities to grow professionally through continued formal education and through training sessions. Teachers will be expected to avail themselves of opportunities to understand the criminal personality and the correctional setting.
With the employment of full-time teachers, systems of accountability will be developed. Individual institutions will be required to state their educational objectives in behavioral terms and to submit a yearly evaluation report based on the pursuit of these objectives. A system of Offender Accountability for Performance should be set up. This system should be supported by incentive awards, certificates, labor endorsements, apprenticeship statements, and written commendations.
Constant efforts will be made to link behavior modification concepts with educational programs. Methods which attempt to increase motivation, develop self-esteem, and lead to goalsetting will be emphasized.
A noticeable increase in funding will be necessary to implement the planned educational programs.
Of the men currently participating in vocational training in the remaining institutions, most are being trained in automotive repair, electrical repair, brick masonry, and horticulture. In addition to formal training, work experience in areas such as animal husbandry, printing, sign making, horticulture, plumbing, and building maintenance is offered through Correctional Industries.

Using data base and study assessment date, planning personnel have estimated that 55% of the state offender population is in need of some form of vocational training. Such a percentage figure would project a need for approximately 4,000 training slots for the present population which would represent an increase in slots of nearly seven-fold.
In addition to increase in numbers, increase in areas of training is needed. In keeping with the occupational demand factor through 1975, paramedics, computer programming, office machine operation and repair, printing trades, metal work crafts, and sales and service are but a few of the areas which would provide relevant training for offenders.
Since vocational training generally necessitates technical, and usually expensive, equipment, as well as larger instructive area, all efforts should be made to link with community resources. The community vocational-technical schools under the Department of Education offer a tremendous future resource for vocational training. Private industries will be tapped as a source of training.
Other efforts will be aimed toward maximum utilization of present facilities and staff, increased work-study release programs, and linkage with Correctional Industries. Beyond these efforts more formal vocational slots need to be provided "inhouse".

Diagnostic and Classification

Since 1969, all convicted male felons and some misdemeanants were committed initially to the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center, Jackson, Georgia. To speed up the diagnostic process and to separate offenders by age and crime ,. cent ers were established on a regional basis to include the Georgia Industrial Institute at Alto, and Georgia State Prison, Reidsville, Georgia. Offenders are committed to one of the three processing centers according to the following criteria:

Georgia Industrial Institute - 19 years of age and under regardless of sentence

Georgia Diagnostic & Clas- - 20 years of age and older

sification Center

with a sentence of 20 years

or less

Georgia State Prison

- 20 years of age and older with a sentence of 20 years or more

Diagnostic processing begins the day the inmate arrives. He is fingerprinted, photographed, and given a haircut. He then showers and is given a set of prison uniforms and assigned to a cell according to his age, crime committed and whether he is a recidivist or not.

The following day, the new inmate sees one of two physi cians for a physical examination complete with X-rays. Any problems that show up are either treated immediately or the man's case is referred to the medical staff at Georgia State Prison . Next, the staff dentist examines the teeth and gums of all men and marks down what teeth are in need of treatment.

Diagnostic Testing, GDCC
The receiving institution follows through on any treatment that is needed. Any individual with visual problems can arrange to be seen by a contractual ophthalmologists who visit the centers two days a week .
In addition to the above, clinics for minor surgery and emergency treatment, a 13 bed hospital including individual or private rooms and a medical/security cell are available.
The next step in processing is the initial interview conducted in private on a one to one basis by a member of the evaluation team. A complete social history is obtained and letters are sent out to verify most of the information.
After a two day wait, during which time it is believed that the inmate becomes more adjusted to his situation, testing begins. The centers utilize several tests which are accurate for correctional purposes and yet are not time consuming and difficult to administer. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), the Culture ' Fair Intelligence Test, Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT), and the General Aptitude T~st Battery (GBTB) are the main tests now given.

If abnormal behavior patterns are indicated by the testing or interviews, the individual is referred to a psychiatrist for an examination.
For approximately two weeks the tests are scored, further supplemental information is gathered and rep lies t o the letters sent out during the initial interview are received.
After a total of four to five weeks, the information is usually complete. It is sorted and scrutinized for accuracy and reli ability, and the inmate is scheduled for a final interview.
During the final interview, the counselors and social worker discuss with the inmate the results of the findings. It is at this point that the future of the man is discussed. His desires are made known and then related to test scores and replies from past schools and jobs. Plans for correctional education, voca tional training, work assignments, treatment programs and in stitutional assignment are discussed .
After the interview, the case is typed up and submitted for review by the classification officer in the Offender Administration Division. Wherever possible, the classification officer tries to follow the recommendations of the diagnostic counselors.
Once finished, the case is forwarded to the assignment officer, and the inmate is assigned to the correctional institution that best meets his individual needs.
Initial plans have been made to establish a diagnostic processing at the Georgia Rehabilitation Center for Women, Hardwick, Georgia, and will be operational by January 1973.
Through a stronger working relationship with the Labor Department and the Vocational Rehabilitation Division of the Department of Human Resources, development of new programs and insurance of continued operation has been brought in the diagnostic and classification process within the Department of Offender Rehabilitation.

Recreation
Program Development Division TOM MARTIN, Assistant Deputy Commissioner
It is a basic belief of this society that human life and person ality are precious regardless of lim itations imposed upon the individual; therefore, correctional institutions have an obli gation to assist the incarcerant by providing programs that will enable him to develop skills and attitudes which are conducive to creative use of leisure time. The recreation program is but one phase of a comprehensive program that endeavors to re socialize the individual. Through this re -socialization process, the individual will hopefully be able to function successfully upon return to his community .
The newly established Recreation Division within the Department of Offender Rehabilitation has experienced a productive year.
With the aid of a grant from L.E.A.A., recreation has been successful in providing institutions with much needed recreational supplies and equipment along with establishing full time recreation positions at the following institutions:
Chatham Correctional Institution Georgia Diagnostic & Classification Center Georgia Training & Development Center Georgia Industrial Institute Lee Correctional Institution Lowndes Correctional Institution Montgomery Correctional Institution Walker Correctional Institution Wayne Correctional Institution Stone Mountain Correctional Institution
With Federal assistance the number of full -time recreation positions in Georgia Correctional Institutions will be expanded

to 17 persons. The above allocated positions are presently being filled .
A noted accomplishment during the fiscal year was the establishment and functioning of a state-wide Advisory Committee on Correctional Recreation . The Advisory Committee Members, possessing broad backgrounds of recreation expertise , have made their services available to all state institutions. This committee has met periodically, and occasionally, has toured several correctional facilities.
Among the numerous recommendations eminating from this body are :
1. Employ quality-trained recreation personnel 2. Provide adequate in-service training for recreation
personnel 3. Devote time during wardens' workshops for explan -
ation of recreation philosophy and programming
Basketball Team, Gil

With the addition of full -time recreation personnel at most of the state institutions, it is anticipated that programs and activities will broaden tremendously. Georgia State Prison , Georgia Industrial Institute and Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center presently operate full -time recreation staffs and provide such activities as: softball, basketball, weight lifting, music, table games, hobby crafts, movies and many special events.
Other institutions have depended upon institutional staff members for supporting the recreation program on a part-time, and usually, voluntary basis. The use of inmates to assist in the operation of the recreation program has been implemented in some institutions, and it is anticipated that this practice will expand in coming years.
Several community resources and facilities have been utilized on a limited basis during 1972; however, plans are to distend
Inmate Radio Station - VOICE of GDCC, GDCC

this program and to enlist community volunteers in inmate re creation programs at all correctional facilities.

Among all the special events involved in t he rec reation pro grams, none has received more impact on a state-wide basis than the first prison olympics to be held in the fall of 1972 . This event is a "first" in Georgia and is felt to be the first in t he nation .

This program will br ing together inmates from each inst i-

tution to compete on a regional basis in twelve events which

include:

softball

horseshoes

basketball

chess

bands

checkers

hobby crafts

table tennis

art

poetry

weight Iifti ng

short stories

Competition will begin in each institution with elimination s to determine their representative in the regional finals . Award s at the regional level will include gold, silver, and bronze medals for the first three places in each event. In addition, each pa rti cipant at the regional level will receive an award certificate indi cating his excellence in representing his institution.

While the 1972 Prison Olympics will end at the regional level, plans are already being made to hold a state meet in 1973.

Most institutions are lacking space and facilities for the development of recreation programs. Efforts will be made in 1973 to remedy this problem .

Presently existing facilities at Reidsville, Alto, and Jackson include outdoor athletic fields for softball, football , and basketball. The Jackson facility is in the process of developing an oval hard su rface track which will be the first in the state. To remedy the outdoor problem in some of the smaller insti tutions, fences will be moved to enlarge the space to make out door facilities more feasible. Again, where facilities are not

Inmate Easter Play, GT&DC

possible in the institution efforts will be made to secure the use of community facilities such as those provided by recreation departments and school systems.
Indoor facilities for recreation are practically non -existent with the exception of a few rooms in some locations which have been made available for libraries, crafts, hobby groups, etc. Almost every institution has need for additional indoor space . Reidsville has been approved for the construction of a multi -purpose recreation building in 1973 which will include a gymnasium and space for such activities as weight lifting, crafts, club activities and hobby groups.

Social Services
Program Development Division GRACE GALLIANO, State Coordinator
The public offender can be defined as a person who has been unable to successfully deal with several of the systems around him - perhaps the economic system, the police, or the judicial system. We receive him at the point of his encounter with the correctional system. Often, the initial system that has malfunctioned is the family system. The basic home situation of the public offender is often the launch pad for unsuccessful dealings with other systems.
Whatever the particular reasons for an individual's getting into trouble with the legal/justice system, it definitely began in his home, his neighborhood or his town. Therefore, it seems logical that any change brought to bear on any of these reasons affect the offender on return to his community. Alter the combination of forces that help put a person in prison (including the man himself) and you alter the forces that can help keep him out or put him back again.
The Social Services Program, first of its kind in the nation, was designed to work with the family in the home situation of the public offender in an effort to make the above-described changes. Although the program has been in operation for only six months, it appears to fill an existing need.

In order to help the man or woman return to his community and function in a more productive manner, every major community throughout the State will have its own group of trained Social Services workers who contact and "stay with" a family through a family member's incarceration and parole. Presently, there are over 40 Social Services workers who are stationed in the Atlanta area and several other major cities throughout the State. In addition to this, several institutions throughout the State have Social Services personnel assigned to them. Eventually, this network will include every major institution throughout the State. However, as described above, the major thrust of effort for the Social Services Program is the community of the family offender.
On contacting the family of an offender, the worker gathers necessary information to understand the present family situation and the incarcerant's relationship to it. He or she will work out a plan with the family to determine services or other needs required by the family during the offender's imprisonment. The worker functions as an aide in securing for that family whatever help they need in dealing with the absence of the incarcerant. This aid could be economic, social or emotional. The worker also acts as a liaison between the public offender and his family to resolve new problems which may arise during incarceration. The worker offers help to the family members in achieving their stated goals which could involve employment, housing, credit, or medical services. It may also include counseling with brothers, sisters, or children of the offender who are beginning to demonstrate behavorial problems. As the time draws near for the incarcerant to return to society, the worker helps with the smooth return of the offender to both family and to the community.
A Family Orientation Program is conducted at regular intervals in various cities to acquaint family members with the Department of Offender Rehabilitation. An effort is made to respond to questions, both general and personal, regarding the imprisoned family member.

Work Release

"The transition from the dependent, regimented environment of a penal institution to the freedom of the community is recognized as a most critical period for the offender; lacking support and guidance at a time when most needed, the released offender frequently fails to make a satisfactory adjustment.. ... "
Michigan Department of Corrections

JOHN ROGERS, Assistant Deputy Commissioner Program Development Division
The aims and goals of the Work Release Program are to help alleviate these tensions by reaffirming the common principles of the rights, dignity, and responsibility of each individual.
The program is designed for the partial release of selected inmates to the community on a gradual basis. The man is enabled to become a productive member of the community, to earn a living that will allow the individual to pay his own upkeep, to help support his family, to further pursue training opportunities, and to develop savings for his eventual release or parole.
Program Objectives:
( 1) Improve the transition from the institution to the community.
(2) Allow the inmate to meet financial obligations and build economic resources.

Inmates desiring to enter work release must submit an application which is carefully screened for eligibility. Eliminations are mandatory for violent felons, alcoholics, narcotics addicts, habitual escapees, the mentally ill, and the homosexual.
Inmates must be within 24 months of actual release; however, determinations of eligibility are made according to financial and emotional need. Inmates on work release are required to send money to their families who are receiving welfare support, but all residents have been more than willing to have the opportunity to provide much-needed support for their families. Work releasees are also required to save at least $50.00 for their release, but most have saved much more than that. Out of earnings, inmates purchase civilian work clothes, pay $4.00 daily for room and board, and pay for their transportation to and from work. Inmates hold a variety of jobsfrom clerk to heavy equipment operator, and from food dresser to carpet layer - with salaries ranging from $2.00 per hour $80.00 per week up to $385.00 weekly.
The Georgia Work Release Program has been operating successfully since April 1969. There are six institutionally based programs with a total capacity of 94 and a separate community-based center in Atlanta with a capacity of 66 for a grand total of 160.

Community- Based
Services
DR. THOMAS M. JENKINS, Deputy Commissioner
The future of community-based corrections reveals developing trends in a wide range of new programs designed for both the offender and personnel within the division. Greater emphasis is being placed on proper instruction and training of field personnel with periodic correctional workshops to acquaint all employees with the latest research and counseling techniques.
Additionally, improved quality of both pre-sentence and preparole investigations is being stressed to keep pace with the increased demands for accurate information in making decisions. Use of the community volunteer in dealing with the offender is being expanded as a grassroots response to crime. Reduced caseloads and resulting time savings have defined a movement from the strictly enforcement approach to greater utilization of guidance, assistance and treatment.
Apparent in these trends is the increased use of research findings, utilizing prediction tables and other data to identify the programs that are most effective in dealing with the offender. Certainly, a relationship is growing between research and correctional practice, and it is both reasonable and prudent that this division involve itself with all worthwhile programs developing from this research.
Under reorganization, several of the administrative functions of the State Board of Probation and the State Board of Pardons and Paroles were placed within the division as a means of eventually combining their similar duties and goals in supervising the offender. Several of these goals are quite apparent: ( 1) the protection of society; (2) the communication and interpretation of probation or parole conditions; (3) the re-enforcement of interpersonal relationships with anti-criminal persons; (4)

the development of coping mechanisms and strategies that reduce dependency and strengthen individual autonomy.
There are likewise several operational commonalities in both Probation and Parole. For example, a comprehensive and cumulative investigation and/or social case history should precede superv1s1on. Futhermore, Probation and Parole have proved that planned and intensive supervision of selected offenders in the community is the best investment against criminal recidivism.
The number of parolees and probationers have steadily increased through fiscal year 1971 to fisca I year 1972 and now total approximately 2,600 and 18,000 respectively. There has been a corresponding increase in out-of-state probationers and parolees and a higher average caseload per supervisor. Presently, for Probation and Parole Supervisors, the typical caseload totals 145 and 100 respectively. Such increases point to additional field personnel needs, and plans have been made to alleviate this situation.
Probation and Parole revocation rates have remained stable over the past several years. For fiscal year 1972, the parole revocation rate was 15.8% based on those individuals leaving parole. The Probation revocation rate was 11% for all probationers leaving supervision, whether by expiration of sentence, commutation to time served or revocation.
Other offender-related areas in the division also include the Volunteer Services Program, Community and Transitional Centers and the Social Services Program. The services provided by the above programs were designed to fully complement a working plan that emphasizes total community involvement with an ex-offender. Such a plan was designed for maximum utilization of the available social, legal and financial characteristics of each community.
It is the goal of this division to assure a unified approach and set of standards to all of the included programs while retaining the flexibility necessary to take full advantage of the existing community resources at the local level.

PROBATION
Probation, as used in the correctional field , is a treatment program based within the community and drawing upon its available resources. The program rests upon the power of the judiciary to suspend sentences and have the probation period served in the community rather than in a correctional institu tion . Certainly, the effectiveness of probation is determined , to a large degree, by the supervisor and his resourcefulness in guiding the behavior of the offender. Supervision, in this case, is the sum total of the supervisor's knowledge and experience in dealing with diverse individuals, counseling, assembling em ployment data and providing the close relationship necessary for effective guidance. Constant re-evaluation of programs, in service training workshops and involvement with higher educa tion are all factors in the adequate preparation of a supervisor.

PAROLE
Parole is quite similar to probation in its functions,scope and goals. The parolee, unlike the probationer, has served part of his sentence in a correctional institution before being released. The Supervisor involved must also exercise sound judgment in guiding such an individual in the community . Both proba tioners and parolees are released with certain restrictions and conditions that regulate their behavior. Their release is condi tional, contingent upon satisfactory behavior and adherence to the rules of their probation or parole . It is the challenge of this division to successfully re -integrate an offender back into the community and change his criminal patterns to those of law abiding citizens.

Atlanta Advancement Center
ATLANTA ADVANCEMENT CENTER
The Atlanta Advancement Center, located off famed Peach tree Street, is Georgia' s model work release center. The center services 66 residents and employs ten staff members who rotate shifts on a 24-hour basis. The staff administers the center with as much leniency as possible to encourage personal responsibility and self-respect. Occasionally, infractions do occur and disciplinary action is administered in the form of extra maintenance duties, loss of recreation privileges, and removal from the program in severe cases.

The Staff at the Atlanta Advancement Center places primary emphasis on counseling in the field of group therapy, job placement, family planning, and educational enrichment.
A grant for $320,000 from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration permitted the Work Release Program to expand the Atlanta Advancement Center and to open a second work release center in Atlanta for 50 additional men. The new center will be operational by January, 1973.

COMMUNITY TREATMENT CENTERS
The concept of a community based treatment center combines many of the desired elements that have proven effective in combating criminal recidivism. A balanced program will provide an offender with many of the stabilizing aspects of free society, such as meaningful employment and social contact, with the structured learning experiences that are provided with psychological counseling, career planning and mandatory duties while living in the center.
A positive approach toward accepting responsibility is provided through the center's use of a "point system" to earn additional privileges. An approach of this type combined with

career planning, vocational or technical training, counseling and reasonable employment offers a significant alternative to incarceration. This program shows much promise in re-directing the lives of selected offenders.
Presently, there are four Community Treatment Centers in the Division of Community-Based Services: Augusta, Dalton, Gainesville, and Macon. The overall effectiveness of this program relies heavily on both community support and the endorsement of the courts. Results have indicated that such a program can enhance the rehabilitation process.

Dalton Community Center
DALTON COMMUNITY CENTER The Dalton Community Center, is concerned with providing
basic counseling, vocational or technical advice and employment to its probationers and parolees. The center attempts to bring these services to the offender in the community setting and at the local level of understanding, seeking both his full comprehension and participation in the program.

Athens Sub-Community Office
ATHENS SUB-COMMUNITY OFFICE The Athens Sub-Community Office was opened as a contin -
uing response to the very real need of bringing probation and parole services into the community at the grass-roots level. It offers offenders living in ghetto or sub-community areas analternative to receiving these services from normal courthouse facilities at normal hours. It is a positive attempt to bring coun seling services, vocational, or technical training and employment information to offenders during their non-working hours.
MACON DIAGNOSTIC-EVALUATION CENTER The establishment of the Macon Diagnostic-Evaluation Cen -
ter was based on the need for a scientific system of indepth, comprehensive pre-sentence investigations and planned pro grams of social restoration. Unlike traditional staffing patterns, supervisors in the Diagnostic-Evaluation Center have investigative skills that include specialized testing and supervisory skills

MACON PROBATION COMMUNITY CENTER The goal of the Macon Probation Community Center is to
provide both a structured environment for stabi Iity, and a wide range of counseling, career planning and vocational training services to the prior offender. Residents are encouraged to seek help in technical or vocational areas and are offered counseling for personal problems.
Augusta Community Center
Macon Diagnostic-Evaluation Center
that are based on an understanding of interpersonal and behavioral dynamics. Clients are not housed in the Center, but services such as counseling and job placement are provided on an out-client basis. Presently, the center is involved with testing the validity of intensive probation supervision.
Macon Probation Community Center

AUGUSTA COMMUNITY TREATMENT CENTER The Augusta Community Treatment Center was instituted in
late 1971 in response to the needs of individuals released on Probation by the courts. The center provides a variety of services for its clients and is actively involved in preparing a prior offender for responsible citizenship in the Community.
Gainesville Community Center
GAINESVIL 'LE COMMUNITY CENTER The Gainesville Community Center functions as a transi-
tional. facility offering a wide range of supportive services to exoffenders. Heavy emphasis is placed upon comprehensive testing and counseling to assess an individual's greatest needs. All programs administered by the Center are designed to prepare the ex-offender as a law-abiding member of the community.
The Probation-Parole population has changed significantly over the years 1968 to 1972. Probation has experienced a steady percentage change of + 11.2% to + 13.3% during these years with the greatest numerical change being +2,037 in the 1971 -72 . Parole release figures indicate a percentage change of +2.4% in 1968-1969 to +40.8% in 1971-72, corresponding to a
numerical ch1ange of +753 parolees in the latter year. It is ap-
parent that trends show a greater reliance on treatment programs and ser-vices provided outside of institution walls.

VOLUNTEER SERVICES
The Volunteer Services Program began as an innovative approach to successfully reintegrating prior offenders into the mainstream of community life. Its primary function is the delivery of a wide range of supportive services to the ex-offender to prepare him for the demands, responsibilities and stresses of everyday living.
These services include medical and legal advice, recreational programs, musical instruction and personal development counseling. All services are directed toward assisting the probation or parole supervisor in aiding the individual involved. The vol untary effort utilized in this program offers many tangible benefits, including increased and personalized contact, or counseling, and the close one-to-one relationship that is sometimes missing between a supervisor and his client.
Volunteers are accepted from all segments of society and are encouraged to be the type of meaningful person an ex-offender needs. Many outstanding members of the business and civic community have donated their time in providing guidance and encouragement for the returning offender. Naturally, each separate program is individualized for the offender involved and directed toward his greatest needs.
Under the auspices of the Division of Community-Based Services, the Volunteer Services Program has been expanded to include probationers and parolees. Additionally, plans are being made to offer these services to all inmates who are being returned to society on reprieve with three to six months remaining to serve on their sentences. While coordination and direction for state-wide goals is achieved in this manner, existing and new programs are tailored to the particular facilities and needs of each community.
Presently, eight area coordinators are assigned the task of implementing the volunteer program to probationers and parolees throughout the state. In this manner, a comprehensive volun teer program can be offered to all returning offenders regardless of their status as parolee, probationer or supervised re-

prievee. The services and advantages of an effective program of this type are many, but the overall value lies in the efficient restoration of human dignity and, hopefully, the individual's posi tive response.

The Fiscal Year saw growing progress toward the goal of providing facilities of appropriate scope and character to meet the needs of the current approach to rehabil itation in Georgia .
Two new correctional institutions were nearing completion in Walker and Montgomery counties. These modern facilities, costing slightly over a million dollars each and housing approxi mately 200 inmates each, include provisions for the application of the latest techniques in vocational and educational training in order to prepare the offender for his return to society . Walker Correctional Institution was due to open in July 1972, followed in August by Montgomery Correctional Institution .
Meanwhile, planning moved ahead on two very significant new projects. A design firm, well -known for its leadership in correctional architecture, was selected to prepare programs and preliminary schematics for a new women's correctional institution located near Milledgeville and a phototype community correctional center to be located in Columbus. Each facility will cost approximately $3,000,000 and will be financed through the sale of bonds. To enhance the pursuit of rehabili tative programs, these two institutions will probably utilize the cottage concept of living quarters with a relatively open, campus site arrangement.

Inmate Construction Program
On a smaller scale , but of real importance, this year's con struction activity included the federally -financed renovation of Colony Farm . This facility, leased from the Central State Hospital, now houses elderly and d isabled inmates who were previously confined in less suitable quarters at other insti tutions.

Correctional
Industries
DALE HODGENS, State Supervisor
Georgia Correctional Industries continued to expand and diversify operations during the past fiscal year. Correctional Industries is an important rehabilitative function since inmates are provided with the opportun ity to learn a trade or skill which will be beneficial when released from the correctional system.
The Georgia Correctional Industries Administration was
created by an act of the Georgia Legislature of March 17 , 1960. Co rrectional Industries was initially financed by a revolving fund of $500,000 and now operates as a self sustaining

Field
Services
CARL MILLS, Deputy Commissioner N. L. HIGHSMITH, Area Supervisor- Region I
J. C. MOON, SR., Area Supervisor- Region II W. C. THOMAS, Area Supervisor- Region Ill
The Field Services Division is primarily responsible in determining and insuring that all rules and regulations of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation are observed by the forty-six county correctional institutions. Unannounced inspections of county facilities are made by area supervisors. Along with their normal inspection duties, area supervisors are at times required to complete special investigations stemming from unusual circumstances.
Since 1971, a major drive has been the evaluation and upgrading of county correctional institutions through means of a team approach. Teams were composed of the Deputy Commissioner of Field Services, a County Warden, a State Warden, a Personnel Representative, and an Area Supervisor. During the past two years, teams visited all forty-six county correctional institutions, made recommendations and determined time-scheduled plans of improvements. As a result of these evaluation reports, counties made improvements amounting to $1, 170,663.00. This figure does not include the cost of labor as inmate construction crews were used in most instances.
These studies reflect the cooperativeness of county correctional institutions and their desire to become true complements of a habilitative system.

Offender Administration
W. H. LOWE, Director DONALD LAUGHLIN, Supervisor Offender Assignment LOGAN BUCHANON, Classification Officer AUBREY WALKER, Supervisor Inmate Release/ Correction Compacts JAMES HORNE, Investigative Services Officer DAPPA SMITH, Interstate Transfer Officer
The Offender Administration Division within the Department of Offender Rehabilitation is primarily responsible for the following areas:
1. Offender Assignments - Controls the input of inmates into the prison system to include the activities of inmates while incarcerated such as computation of time, classification, and placement of inmates into various rehabilitative programs.
2. Release and Compact - Encompasses the release of all inmates such as discharges, discharges to detainer, interstate parole compact, interstate probation compact, interstate corrections compact, interstate detainer compact, as well as temporary releases such as reprieves.
3. Offender Records - Maintains all active inmate records of parolees and probationers.
4. Parole Support- Provides the collection, proof-reading, and assembling of all requested information by the Pardons and Parole Board for parole consideration of inmates.

5. Security - Encompasses prison intelligence, investigation, transportation, and inspection for the prison system.
The major effort of the Offender Administration Division during the first half of the fiscal year was devoted to converting approximately 12,500 inmates records to data processing. Ten temporary employees were assembled in July 1971 and trained to read inmate records and to convert them into the data processing system. This project was completed in October 1971 and tested for the next several months. By January 1, 1972, the data processing program was in full operation. For the first time in the history of the Georgia Penal System, requested data can now be collected within a reasonable time frame. The remainder of the year in the data processing area was devoted to the development of programs such as inmate accountability, disciplinary records, research data, detainer records, and the actual printing of inmate discharges by the computer.
While considerable effort was being placed in the area of conversion of inmate records to data processing, another specific program received high priority - the Governor's Program on Records Management. This program enabled the Department of Offender Rehabilitation to review hundreds of cubic feet of stored records dating back to the early 1900's. By the end of the 1972 fiscal year, great strides were made in the review of stored records and the ultimate destruction of records that were occupying storage space.
With the reorganization and the data processing capability, the Offender Administration Division was removed from the manual, horse-and-buggy days to one that is professional and responsive. This division experienced an opportunity to mod ernize many antiquated procedures that had existed within the Georgia Penal System for years such as responsive placement system for inmates into the various and vastly developed rehabilitative programs, the revision and/or elimination of forms,

a more responsive pickup of inmates from county jails, a more professional placement of inmates from closing institutions into newly opened institutions, and the identity of infirm inmates for assignment to the newly opened Colony Farms. Through improved management internally, the Department of Offender Rehabilitation has assisted outside agencies in cooperation with L.E.A.A. in areas such as production of research data for the Georgia Crime Commission and advanced discharge information for the Labor Department in the placement of inmates into jobs.
The major thrust during 1973 fiscal year will be placed on developing computer applications for the management in support of the Pardon and Parole Board and the collection of information concerning persons on probation.

Personnel
Administrative Services Division Office of Personnel Administration SAMUEL W. AUSTIN, Personnel Officer WINFRED H. LADD, Associate Personnel Officer STUART M. KRAMER, Personnel Management Analyst
The Personnel Unit, a part of the Administrative Services Division, strives to provide unified and equitable administration of all matters pertaining to departmental employees. Personnel Administration, however, is a coordinated effort operating within the policies and goals of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation and the restraints of the Merit System.
Recruitment, retention, compensation, and the proper utilization of competent employees, in concert with sound planning, forms the bulwark of the personnel function. One of the primary goals of the Personnel Unit is to encourage and promote a re-definition of as many jobs as possible in order to increase employee interest and support which enhances the effectiveness of departmental operations and procedures.

In this time of computerization and rapid organization expansion, the need for sound personnel planning is urgent. The Personnel Unit is engaged in computerizing many of its records and procedures. This function, once complete, will permit the processing of documents and the hiring of new personnel in a most expeditious manner. Proper use of the computer will produce relevant historical data whereby standards and budgets will be established and forecasts projected. This evaluated information, will enable the Personnel Unit to set objectives of departmental requirements relative to personnel policies.
Through the employment of computerized techniques and careful analysis, efficient manpower utilization and modern management tools will be more widely available for the benefit of the entire department.
The major functions of the Personnel Unit during the 1972 fiscal year was supporting governmental reorganization, staffing two new correctional institutions, and establishing and conducting a departmental promotion review system for certain correctional job classes which enabled employees to compete for select positions on a state-wide basis.

Research and Planning
Program Development Division BILL BAUGHMAN, Assistant Deputy Commissioner JOHN McDORMAN, Director of Planning PLANNING
Planning efforts in the past year have culminated into a distinctive motif that is continually inducing major modifications within the Department of Offender Rehabilitation. Although the correctional planning idiom is less than mature at least in years, its impact is being realized in all aspects of the penal system which is primarily due to major planning efforts that were completed as of December 1971. First a Critical Analysis of the State Correctional System provided extensive insight into the functioning of all major institutions throughout the state. Secondly, the Conceptualized Study that emanated from this critical analysis projected major changes in the location of correctional institutions. Approximately 90% of this plan, which suggested that emphasis be placed on regional centers for the location of new transitional detention facilities, has now been implemented.

In conjunction with these two major planning reports was an indepth study of the county correctional system which provided the genesis of what hopefully wi II be a more extensive understanding of this aspect of the total system.
Other planning projects that have been completed during the fiscal year include the following:
A. Guidelines and Forms for Evaluation B. Goals for Corrections C. Procedure for the Release of Inmates D. Recreational Planning E. Agricultural Feasibility Study for Georgia State Prison F. Outside Visiting Pass Program G. Medicare-Medicaid H. Clubs and Organizations in Institutional Settings I. Text Draft for Inmate Handbook. J. Ex-Offender as Employee in Corrections K. Establishment of Inmates' Conferences L. Planning of the Amalgamation of Probation, Pardons
and Paroles, and Corrections Departments at the local level M. Live Work Procedures N. Ex-Offender Personal Identity Documents
Several other major planning endeavors are in progress. One of these is the Georgia Rehabilitation Center for Women. Resource Study which is an ongoing programmatic and physical planning effort for the women's institution. Another is the Comprehensive Vocational Training Plan for Georgia Correctional Institutions, which is attempting to develop a workable vocational plan recognizing inmate capabilities, present union or certification handicaps to employment, other state vocational programs and the quantity of their graduates, and the future labor markets in the state.
Furthermore, the Department is now attempting to concretely implement the regional correctional plan in its Feasibility Study for the Georgia-Bibb Corrections Facility. This initial study will determine the feasibility of a coordinated

effort between state and local correctional agencies in the development of a center for criminal offenders, offering diagnostic treatment and correctional programs to expedite the processing of state and local inmates moving through the criminal justice system from the point of arrest to release with emphasis on rehabilitation. The project, as conceived, could provide the means for further decentralization of diagnostic and classification services throughout the state system, and facilitate inmate visitation and access to professionalized personnel and community-based programs.
This feasibility study is the first of its kind in the nation in terms of joint institutional usage by state and local governments.
Other major planning efforts that are in progress include the following:
A. Regional Diagnostic Program B. Computerized Diagnostic Program C. Release Program
RESEARCH
Empirical and evaluative research accompanied with innovative professional planning constitute the foundation from which correctional philosophy can be scientifically evaluated and adapted into meaningful programming. In order to facilitate the efficient operation of this function, the offices of Research and Planning have recently been consolidated into a single office with a professional staff of 14. This merger will facilitate communication, thus creating a continuum that will nurture an idea from conception to inception within the Department of Offender Rehabilitation.
The past year has brought about the realization of a professionally staffed Research team. This expansion of capabilities will facilitate the development of evaluative and experimental research, while maintaining the capacity necessary to perform in task oriented supportive functions.

In order to augment research capabilities, univers1t1es are being encouraged to create and critique correctional research for the State of Georgia. The foundation of this alliance, the Research Review Board, is composed of individuals from the academic and professional fields. The Board reviews requests to perform research and functions as a liaison between the university and the Department of Offender Rehabilitation.
Research completed during the year has demonstrated a marked ability to effect change within the Georgia System.
One major study was initiated to determine the feasibility of establishing treatment teams to effect intensive well coordinated rehabilitation. The need for such a program was apparent by the individual requests from institutional staff for project results.
A second major project involved the feasibility of classifying inmates by mental age rather than solely by chronological age. An intensive survey of relevant testing techniques both operative and in the conceptual stage was undertaken. Extensive recommendations were presented.
Other research completed during the year include the following:
Feasibility of Probation Treatment Centers Feasibility of Jurisdictional Transfer of Georgia Rehabilitation Center for Women An Evaluation of Probation Subsidy Feasibility of the Use of Anesthetic Weapons for Control of Institutional Disturbances An Evaluation of the Georgia Work Release Program
Projections for the next year include plans to expand empirical research capabilities. A year long study has been initiated for the 1972-73 fiscal year to develop procedures and techniques for modifying specific inmate behaviors by offering specific rewards for achievement and the project is presently being developed at the Georgia Training and Development Center.

A significant accomplishment of the Research and Planning Section has been the founding of theeor:g_@_Journ~__Qi_G_()_r-_ rections. The Journal, a quarterly publication,is a collection of relevant correctional research, methodology, design, and statistical analysis, organized to present a comprehensive view of the criminal justice system. This overview is not limited to the Georgia system in content nor in authorship. Nor is it limited to articles in its presentation. Book reviews and abstracts of "Research in Progress" are also published. As a service to readers, the Journal includes employment opportunities and a calendar of forthcoming correctional events. The Journal staff includes the Editor and Associate Editor. An Advisory Board and Editorial Board are maintained for consultation in policy matters. A guest editor is featured in each issue to insure consistency in presentation. The Journal is available by subscription.

Staff
Development

AL DUNCAN, Assistant Deputy Commissioner Program Development Division

The Staff Development Section of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation has the responsibility to provide train ing and educational opportunities to the staff in order to develop and enhance their skills for the task of rehabilitating the public offender. As compared to the previous year, this year reflected an expansion in the number of programs available to the staff by 37 percent; the number of staff members involved in training and education increased 54.5 percent; and the amount of time spent in training had a marked increase of 189.5 percent.

In part, the increased training activity was due to the number of new treatment programs being initiated or expanded in the Department of Offender Rehabilitation. For example, The Guides for Better Living program , a motivational and atti tudinal training program, was begun in all institutions this year. The Staff Development Section trained teams consisting of correctional officers, inmates, and treatment staff in group dynamics and the implementation of the "Guides" program. The training laid the foundation for the initiation of this program in the institutions which did not already have it . A total of 56 persons were trained during the three .one-week work shops .

Drug Treatment Workshop, St. Mtn. Cl
Guides for Better Living, graduating class, GSP The advent of Social Services Program which brought Social workers and caseworkers to the Department of Offender Rehabilitation to serve as a liaison between the inmate, his family , and the community necessitated the building of an orientation program for them. A six -week comprehensive train ing program was held for 33 staff members. The program not

only exposed the Social Services worker to the Correctional System, but also encompassed training in the utilization of community resources, casework techniques, and human relations training, just to note a few of the emphasized areas.
The Staff Development Section developed and coordinated three one-week workshops to train teams for the implementation of drug treatment programs in the correctional institutions. Each team consisted of two inmates, one correctional officer and a treatment staff member. The 57 staff members and in;.,ates who participated in the program were introduced to a variety of treatment modes including facilitative skills, Synanon games, transactional analysis, relaxation techniques, and role playing. This training enabled these men to begin drug counseling programs within their respective institutions.
A one-week workshop for full-time clinical chaplains was held for the first time this year. This program emphasized the maximum utilization of resources available to the chaplain in his ministry to the inmate. This focus was realized through interaction with guest participants who are nationally recognized in correctional chaplaincy and through the exchange of views regarding professional issues in the Georgia Correctional Chaplaincy Program.
The training provided the correctional officer reflected the growth and direction of the Department toward rehabil_itati~g the public offender. In addition to training the off1cer 1n security measures, emphasis is placed on human relations training, concepts of rehabilitation, and the officer's role in effecting positive change in the inmate. Not only are experts from the Department involved in training officers, but personnel ~r~m the universities have assisted. To take advantage of all trammg resources, the officers' training program is being held _at the University of Georgia. Six officers' classes were held th1s year involving 12,880 training hours.
Three state-wide Wardens' Workshops were held this year. These meetings brought together the wardens and other key personnel to establish goals, seek solutions to mutual concerns,

and to keep abreast of the various changes in the Department. These workshops helped to unify the efforts of the Department by bringing the staff closer together to work as a team.
The participation of staff in college education programs increased markedly this year. The work-study program, through which an employee can earn his Master's degree in Counseling while employed full-time, increased in enrollment from the original group of twelve to twenty-two. Enrollment in undergraduate courses increased over the previous year from 82 staff members to over 200. To facilitate participation in college courses, both graduate and undergraduate courses were held at institutions at times convenient to the correctional staff.
Departmental personnel were afforded the opportunity to attend conferences and training programs at the state, regional, and national levels. All were specialized programs in the areas of community-based treatment, management, supervision, planning and evaluation, counseling, training, education, and treatment techniques. By participating in training with personnel from different settings, the staff gained a broader perspective relative to the specific training program attended which in turn benefited the Georgia Correctional System through the application of the concepts learned.
In 1971-72, training and education were vital parts of the Department's programs and expanded services. Training was provided to new employees to familiarize them with their assignments. New programs were begun by training the personnel to effectively initiate them. Personnel in on-going programs were provided opportunities to upgrade their skills and learn new concepts. Through these educational activities for the staff, the Department maintains and enhances the quality of services to inmates.

Youthful Offender
Institution Operations Members of the Board: WM. LEE ARRENDALE, Chairman, State Board of Corrections ELLIS C. MacDOUGALL, Commissioner, Department of Offender Rehabilitation JOSEPH S. HOPPER, Deputy Commissioner, Institution Operations COL. W.H. LOWE, Director, Inmate Administration THOMAS M. JENKINS, Ph.D., Deputy Commissioner, Community-Based Services ANITA HARDY, Social Worker
The Georgia Youthful Offender Act of 1972 created the Youthfu I Offender Division of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation. Youthful offenders are committed to the department under the provisions of this act, for an indeterminant period, not to exceed six years for corrective and preventive incarceration.

Following sentencing, the offender is assigned to the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center. A diagnostic evaluation is completed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the offender. Based on this assessment and a personal interview, the inmate plans for himself in preparation for a successful community adjustment following release.
The inmate is permanently assigned to the Georgia Training and Development Center or other such type institutions depending upon his needs. A contract is negotiated between the
youthful offender, the Youthful Offender Division, and the in-
stitutional staff. The contract specifies the type institutional program the offender agrees to complete and a conditional release date contingent upon successful completion of set goals. Individualized contract conditions include acad em ic instruction, vocational instruction, on-the-job training, group and individual counseling, recreational activities, and psychiatric evaluation and treatment.
When all terms of the contract have been fulfilled, or upon expiration of four years from the date of conviction, the fivemember board of the Youthful Offender Division will consider a youthful offender for conditional release. The offender will remain under the supervision of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation for a period not less than one year from the date of conditional release or not to exceed maximum sentence.
In order to provide more personal contact with the offender during this critical period of after-care supervision, each offender will select a volunteer counselor from his home community. The volunteer will participate in delivering services to the offender and will work closely with the Probation-Parole Supervisor.
There are presently 30 offenders serving sentences under the Youthful Offender Act. The offenders' ages range from 18 to 24 years, and they were sentenced in 11 various counties throughout the state.
