The advances made this year by the Department of Corrections and Offender Rehabilitation have been greater than perhaps ever in the history of the Georgia prison system. Some of the highlights were:
Opened a correctional training academy on a university campus. All correctional staff are required to undergo intensive training, and administrative personnel are offered specialized training at the academy.
Opened two additional work release centers and expanded the Atlanta center. Acquired funds to build two new community rehabilitation centers to be located in Atlanta and Macon. Placed full-time teachers at all state correctional facilities. Employed 34 additional probation/parole supervisors. Established firm plans to gradually decentralize the Department for the purpose of placing decision-making authority closer to the localities which will provide faster service. Full implementation of the decentralization plan wil be in November 1973.
Established advisory committees with other branches ot criminal justice for the purpose of meeting monthly to discuss and resolve mutual problems. As a result, there is a better understanding between the various branches. Increased cooperation with Labor Department, Education Department, and Human Resources which resulted in better services to the offender. Increased use of data processing in all aspects of departmental endeavor.
Placed greater emphasis on the role of the correctional officers ana acquired funds through the 1973 General Assembly to upgrade correctional officers by at least 10%.

Recreational facilities were made available to G.D.&C.C. inmates during FY '7 3. To accomplish this, a storage room was renovated to provide space for half-court basketball, volleyball and other games. The chapel was relocated, allowing space for a recreation room. Finally, construction of a football field and 440-yard running track were completed during FY '73.
Due to a lack of mobile home parks in the Jackson area and a lack of available personnel within a short distance of the institution, a mobile home park was constructed for G.D.&C.C. employees. The park has landscaped, wooded lots, paved streets, curbing, sidewalks and furnished porches.
At the end of the fiscal year, a Jaycee chapter was organized at G.D.&C.C. It is co-sponsored by the Monroe County Jaycee chapter. As a community project, the G.D.&C.C. chapter helped to renovate a facility for retarded children in Jackson, Georgia. Adjustment Center
Since January 1973, G.D.&C.C. has operated a treatment program for inmates with behavioral problems. The Adjustment Center, as the program is called, uses a structured environment to provide a realistic behavioral management program for unmanageable inmates, and also trains assigned correctional officers in behavioral technology.
Inmates in the Adjustment Center have previously shown resistance to institutionalization and previous rehabilitation programs. Inability to respond to peers and those in authority in a "helpful" manner, inability to

demonstrate basic behaviors I(clean cell, clean person) and the inability to reduce other inappropriate behaviors to an acceptable level are problems dealt with in the Adjustment Center.
The adjustment process has two phases. Inmates must demonstrate correct behavior 80% of the time in phase I to progress to Phase II, where maintenance of correct behavior 90% of the time is required. Correct behavior, checked daily at designated times, is reinforced with privileges such as mailing, books, television, radio, movies, store purchasing privileges, yard time, hot coffee and carpet purchase.
G.D.&C.C. inmates publish a bi-weekly newspaper, The Classic, which has a circulation of I ,000 to 2,000, including 300 individuals and organizations throughout the United States. In the recent American Penal Press Contest, The Classic won honorable mention in the following categories: Best Column, Best Fiction, Best Sports Story or Column and Best News Story. The Classic was one of two penal publications to win awards among the eight southeastern states.
Inmates assigned permanently to G.D.&C.C. work in the laundry, culinary, maintenance, medical, diagnostic and security departments. Job assignments are based on the individual's skills, security classification, medical profile and cooperation with Center personnel. Only these permanent inmates participate in the treatment activities of the institution.
An Inmate Services Department provides educational, counseling and recreational programs to permanent G.D.&C.C. inmates.

' . ' ......

' '

Educational programs are administered by two counselors and include Basic Education, General Education Development, Study Habits, Guides to Better Living and Relaxation Therapy. An Effective Writing I course teaches fundamentals of English grammar and usage, and is the first part of a two-course sequence in creative writing. A Media Center at G.D.&C.C. contains a study area, library, typewriters, copy machines and art supplies.
Job and Pre-Release Skill Programs offer two courses in which participants learn to acquire and hold a job. Environmental Logic I provides actual experience in completing job applications and being interviewed. Practical applications of course material to institutional job assignments are made. Environmental Logic II covers money management, credit, insurance, community resources and other consumer rleated topics.
To allow the inmates a voice in program planning, the Inmate Services Department revises a program handbook quarterly. Permanent inmates fill out an Interest Questionnaire listing activities in which they would like to participate; the choices are then ranked in order of preference. The results determinw which activities will be available, depending on available space and staff.
Each inmate is assigned to one of nine counselors who interview inmates twice monthly. Counseling programs include four groups - Drug Counseling, Institutional Problems, Human Relations and Work Attitudes -and a behavior modification system.
The counselors supervise the behavior modification system utilizing developmental contracts between the inmates and staff personnel. In this manner, the inmate is induced to work toward his own rehabilitation. Inmates must achieve specific goals, such as change in attitude, work performance and cooperation with Center personnel, in return for a reduction in security classification or added privileges.
Additional counseling is available from three chaplains and a chaplain's aide. The chaplains provide for the religious needs of the inmates and do crisis-intervention counseling with inmates who are depressed or potentially suicidal.
The Prisoner Legal Counseling Project, directed by Mr. George J. McCartin, Jr., University of Georgia School of Law, Athens, Georgia, interviewed 2,519 inmates during FY '73. University of Georgia law students and students from the Legal Aid and the Defender Societies in Athens provided legal services in criminal matters (time, sentence, post trial, pleadings and court appearances) and in civil matters (domestic relations, wages, taxation, recovery of missing items, etc.) When requested and approved, inmates were represented in disciplinary proceedings.
During the past fiscal year, G.D.&C.C. inmates helped to establish the Penal Basketball League, winning the Regional Championship. The G.D.&C.C. team also placed second in the Central Region during the Pri-

son Olympics. A flag football team was also organized at G.D.&C.C. this past year. Other recreational programs at G.D.&C.C. include softball, track and
weight lifting. The institutional softball team played 25 games in the Jackson, Georgia, community softball league and won the Regional Championship in the Georgia Prison Olympics.
Classes in basic music, guitar and trumpet are taught, and two bands have been organized at G.D.&C.C. Both the Soul/Rock and the Country/ Western bands took first place in the Georgia Prison Olympics and have entertained at other institutions.
In January 1973, sports officiating classes were begun at G.D.&C.C. The classes meet once a week for ten weeks, and teach football, basketball and softball officiating. Ten G.D.&C.C. inmates have been certified as officials through the Georgia High School Officiating Association since completing the officiating classes.
An inmate radio station using donated equipment operates 16 hours daily. There are three broadcast channels. Two channels relay local radio stations and the third broadcasts inmate-prepared programs. Each G.D.&C.C. cell has a radio connection for earphones and each inmate can have a channel. A radio broadcasting training program at G.D.&C.C. enables inmates to win a third-class broadcasting license through the Federal Communications Commission upon completion of the course and passing the examination.
Riot Squad
Eighteen volunteer correctional officers make up the G.D.&C.C. institutional Riot Squad. Practice drills are most often held during off-duty hours in addition to the officers' normal duties. The squad can be assembled and on its way within an hour's time, day or night.
The unit works individually or as a squad, reacting to commands from the squad commander, to cope with any crowd control situation.
Portable audio-visual equipment is maintained should it be necessary to record a disturbance for future investigation.
Canine Handlers
Bloodhounds used for pursuit and capture of suspects and escaped inmates are maintained at G.D.&C.C. by two institutional canine handlers. The unit is on 24-hour call to assist counties requesting assistance. In FY '73 the canine unit responded to calls for assistance 44 times and captured 49 suspects and escapees.
When in pursuit, each handler is equipped with firearms, radio equipment, flashlights and other devices needed to apprehend or restrain a person being taken into custody.

GEORGIA DIAGNOSTIC & CLASSIFICATION PROCESS
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, centers 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 & Classification Center 20 years of age and older 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 age, crime and previous convictions.
The following day, the new inmate sees one of two physicians for a physical examination including 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 records what teeth are in need of treatment. The receiving institution follows through on any treatment that is needed. Any individual with visual problems can arrange to be seen by a contractual ophthalmologist who visits the centers two days per 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 privat~ 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.
Testing begins as soon as the inmate can be placed on the schedule, usually within a day or two. The centers utilize tests which are easy to administer and are not time consuming. The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (I 6PF) and the Clinical Analysis Questionnaire (CAQ) are scored and interpreted by computer and have been normed on the Georgia prison population. The Culture Fair Intelligence Test, Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT), and the General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB) are also administered in the total battery of tests.
If abnormal behavioral patterns are indicated by the testing or interviews, the individual is referred to a psychiatrist for an examination.
For the next two or three weeks, the centers collect information

from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and from other sources, e.g., the family and schools, by written inquiry.
After a total of four to five weeks, the information is usually complete. It is sorted and scrutinized for accuracy and reliability, and the inmate is scheduled for a final interview.
During the final interview, the diagnostic counselors interview to ascertain the significance of the collected information. The inmate's desires are made known and are evaluated in light of test scores and replies from past schools and jobs. Plans for correctional education, vocational training, work assignments, treatment programs and institutional assignment are discussed.
After the interview, the case is typed and submitted for review by tlie Classification Committee.
Wherever possible, the Classification Committee 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 system at the Georgia Rehabilitation Center for Women, Hardwick, Georgia.
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 have been established in the diagnostic and classification process within the Department of Offender Rehabilitation.

State Department of Human Resources. Prior to FY '73, the Vocational

Rehabilitation Program only evaluated inmates who would be entering a

vocational rehabilitation program; this policy was changed in FY '73 so

that all inmates at G.I.I. are evaluated by the Vocational Rehabilitation

Program.

The G.I.I. work release program, which was initiated in November

I97 2. has employed 33 inmates through the 1973 fiscal year. With com-

munity support for the program. the demand for workers has continually

exceeded the supply. Participants work on the production line of a textile

factory, as veneerers of wood products at a veneering factory, as mechan-

ics for automobile dealers. at a chicken-processing company, at a lumber

sawmill, as a finisher in a cabinet-making company and as an apprentice at

a refrigeration and appliance company.

A new, air-conditioned library was opened at G.l.I. in November

1972. Open from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m., the library contains 5,500

books, 1,030 filmstrips, 150 records, 31 tapes. 161 transparencies. four

sets of picture prints, 44 eight-millimeter movies. various periodicals and

newspapers. The G .I. I. woodworking shop built ten tables. a newspaper

rack and a magazine rack for the library: woodworking students also refin-

ished the library chairs. The couches in the library were recovered by the

upholstery class.

Another addition to G.I.I. during fiscal year '7 3 is the recreation

center. The center is 140' x 50', and has facilities for billiards. pooL ping

pong, shuffleboard, weight lifting. boxing and other activities.

Educational and vocational services were provided for I ,516 G.I.I.

inmates during FY '73 by the State Department of Education. The Depart-

ment of Education operates the Alto Education and Evaluation Center at

G.l.l., and expended $582,153.00 in state funds through the Center during

FY '73. Also during FY '73, the Center was approved for Veterans Ad-

ministration (V.A.) benefits for inmates. General Education Development

(G .E.D .) preparation classes were incorporated into the regular high school

program this past fiscal year.

The three programs offered at the Education and Evaluation Center

are the Vocational Trade School, the Adult Centered Education Program

and the Academic High School.

Five hundred sixty students participated in vocational training during

FY '73 in the following areas: Auto Body and Fender Repair, Auto Me. chanics, Barbering, Food Service, Masonry, Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, ~lectric~l Re~air, Small Engine Repair, Upholstery, Welding'
fo~ and Woodworkmg. Thuty-e1ght students received diplomas for completio
of training, while 122 students received certificates of achievements
completion of at least 200 hours of satisfactory work in trade school. These students were withdrawn before completion of the program because of parole, transfer or discharge.
The Adult Centered Education Program, designed to help students who are achieving below-normal grade levels, had 437 participants throughout FY '73. Seventy-eight of the participants were advanced to the Academic High School program. Adult Centered Education consists of basic word attack and comprehension skills, basic mathematics facts, language communication skills and basic social skills and concepts. The students are tested upon entering the program and at six-week intervals for regrouping according to their instructional levels.
The Academic High School, accredited with the Georgia Accrediting Asociation, provided services for 519 students during FY '73. High school diplomas were awarded to 32 students on June 8, 1973. The G.E.D. exam was taken by 127 inmates in FY '73, although only 64 passed the test.
The Counseling Department is composed of ten counselors and one counselor aide. Each counselor holds group and individual therapy sessions using behavior modification, reality therapy, facilitative counseling, or a combination of these, if appropriate. A sound-on-slide orientation program is presented to new inmates to provide them with information about regulations, what to expect and what is expected of them while at G.I.I.
Counseling programs include: I. Community Treatment Programs (CTP) which are specialized therapeutic communities in which group and individual counseling is used to rehabilitate drug users. Residents of CTP attempt to decide for themselves matters concerning housekeeping, rules and discipline, special policies and group privileges. 2. First Offender Program is similar in philosophy to CTP but clientele is limited to first offenders. Innovative recreational activities for G.I.I. residents included hosting the first annual regional and state inmate basketball tournaments in which the G.l.l. team won the second-place state finals. A volunteer recreational program was initiated using community volunteers who come to G.I.I.
twice a week and participate with inmates in recreational programs. Inter-
dormitory athletic events were held for all seasonal sports. Weekly religious services are conducted at the Institute by two chap-
lains. The chaplains also provide individual and family counseling for inmates. One of the chaplains and a counselor meet with work releasees to discuss their problems.
A special project during FY '73 was the formation, with the assistance of the chaplain and community volunteers, of the Georgia Industrial Institute Traveling Choir. The 24-member Choir has performed at

Toccoa Falls Bible Institute, Toccoa, Georgia; Friendship Baptist Church, Toccoa, Georgia; and Rotary Club of Toccoa. The Choir also participated in the annual graduation exercises at G.l.l.

The Georgia Rehabilitation Center for Women houses all female incarcerants of the state. There were several significant accomplishments at the institution during FY '73. The first of these was the employment of a female superintendent in July 1972.
The employment of Mrs. Elizabeth McCubbin as superintendent was an acknowledgement of the personal and strictly female needs of the female offenders and the psychological effects on the female offenders of having a female superintendent.
In February 1973, Mrs. McCubbin became director of the newly formed division of Female Programs in the central Atlanta office. Her

responsibilities include the establishment of statewide community centers and rehabilitation programs for female offenders and assistance in the designing of the new women's prison.
In March I973, the female offenders were moved from a building which was overcrowded, lacked recreational space and had numerous malfunctions to one in which the women have improved living co'nditions and space for recreation and rehabilitation programs. Both buildings are located on the Central State Hospital grounds. The new residence, the Ingram Building, was renovated by inmates from Colony Farm C. I. and Putnam C. I.
Completion of the architectural designs for the new Georgia Women's Correctional Institute, being built in Milledgeville, was another fiscal year 1972-73 accomplishment. Construction bids went out in spring I973 for the new facility. Construction was begun at the end of the fiscal year.
The new institution will provide the residents with more personalized living quarters, as it will be composed of four cottages each with a living room. There will be separate buildings for dining, for the chapel and for recreational and educational programs. The institution is scheduled for completion in 1975.
The women at G.R.C.W. work at Central State Hospital in a wide range of duties, including laboratory aides, cooks and nurses' aides. As payment for their work, Central State Hospital provides G.R.C.W. with food.
Vocational training for G.R.C.W. inmates has begun on a. limited basis. Women are learning cosmetology, typing, filing and upholstering under M.D.T.A. and D.O.O.R. In March 1973, an informal training program was being conducted in which three female inmates were learning to be dental assistants and dental laboratory technicians under the supervision of the Central State Hospital Dental Service division. Because of the success of the program, the possibility of initiating a formal program is being investigated. The Vocational Rehabilitation program of the State Department of Human Resources has involved female offenders in vocational school. The work release program has involved 20 inmates in meaningful outside job situations. Plans for a sepatate facility for the work releasees are being developed.
A full-time educational supervisor and a full-time counselor were hired during FY '73. In the educational program, inmates can work to advance their literacy level or to attain a G.E.D. certificate. Two inmates have been approved for educational release. Classes in family planning are held weekly. The counseling program utilizes individual and group sessions to assist the residents. There is also a drug counseling group.
Still in the developmental stages are plans for a pre-release center to be located in Atlanta to assist those women who are nearing release in acquiring appropriate social skills; also being developed is a completed recreational program for G.R.C.W. inmates.

G.S.P. provides diagnostic services for offenders 20 years of age and older who have a sentence of 20 or more years. The Diagnostic Section, which was begun in June 1972, uses the same procedure as Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center and Georgia Industrial Institute. The diagnostic staff consists of two counselors, one each provided by the Georgia Department of Labor and the Department of Offender Rehabilitation, and three staff members who maintain records and transcribe data.
The academic program at G.S.P. is designed to help the inmate reach his own goals, whether they are to obtain a diploma or to qualify for a vocational course. The seven certified teachers use programmed learning materials so that inmates can learn at their own rate and on their own level. The number of inmates enrolled in the academic program during fiscal year '73 was 167. Thirty-six inmates were promoted from remedial level to basic education to General Education Development (G.E.D.) preparatory level and 26 received G.E.D. certificates.
The G.S.P. vocational training program had 29 graduates in FY '73, while a total of 74 inmates were enrolled in the program. Courses of study,

most of which are twelve-month programs, include Automotive Mechanics, which is established as a six-month course in Automotive Theory and a six-month course in General Shop Work; Auto Body and Fender Repair; Welding; Brick Masonry; Small Engine Repair, which consists of two- and four-cycle engine work; and Drafting, which covers mechanical, architectural, assembly, spacial and other areas.
At the end of the fiscal year '73, 290 G.S.P. inmates are employed in correctional industries. A variety of goods are produced at the ten physical plants while the inmate employees learn skills which will prepare them for civilian employment and adjustment. The industries are the Garment Factory, Print Shop, Tag Plant, Chemical Plant, Concrete Products, Screen Process Shop, Canning Plant, Mattress Factory, Metal Furniture Shop, Upholstery Shop, Beef and Pork Products and Dairy and Poultry Products.
Correctional Industries have two electricians, four carpenters and three welders assigned to the Maintenance Section who provide a well-rounded maintenance program on buildings and equipment. There are two tractor-trailers and one 2~-ton van to transport goods produced in the

plants to various customers throughout the state. Sales of Correctional Industries goods are restricted to tax-supported agencies.

Two thousand acres are in permanent pastures, two thousand in woodland and approximately 4000 acres are now cropped. A complete farm, dairy and livestock report is presented at the end of this section.
The G.S.P. Medical Department provides 24-hour, seven-day-per-week coverage with a staff of five physicians, three medical-technicians and one medical clerk.

Since 1968, the Georgia Training and Development Center has provided vocational and academic training for youthful offenders between the ages of 19 and 26 years.
A major innovation at G.T.&D.C. during the past year is the Motivation in Offender Rehabilitating Environments (M.O.R.E.) project which utilizes behavior modification techniques to effect positive changes in the inmate.
M.O.R.E. project programs allow inmates who satisfy respective performance criteria to earn points. Points are exchangeable for various activities such as special or extra phone calls, visitors, letters, movies and recreational activities or for material goods, such as canteen items, photographs, leather goods, clothing and Gold Bond stamps. Approximately 99% of G.T.&D.C. inmates participate exchanged for material goods while 13% are exchanged for activities.
Inmates can earn points through six types of programs: 1) academic programs; 2) vocational training; 3) work details; 4) special projects; 5) an experimental program; and 6) regular daily activities.
The academic programs through which inmates can earn points are: an intensive reading tutoring class for inmates with less than third-grade reading ability; basic remedial education and G.E.D. preparation and advanced courses for those inmates who have high school degrees. Advanced courses include algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry, blueprint reading, psychology, social studies and English.
The second incentive program centers on vocational training. Inmates can earn points by learning masonry, barbering, drafting welding, automo-

tive mechanics, automotive-body repair, small-engine mechanics and building maintenance.
Inmates who are awaiting entry into vocational training or who do not intend to become vocational trainees are assigned to institutional work details. These men can earn points through on-the-job performance as food service workers, janitors, painters, garbage truck operators, laundry workers, grounds keepers, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, school clerks, counselors' clerks, printers, store clerks and oxidation plant operators.
Inmates who want to earn points during their free time may do so through special staff projects needing immediate attention. This work may be contracted to inmates by specifying the specific nature of the project, a time limit for completion and the amount of points to be earned. Contracts have been issued for printing, painting, tile installation, carpeting, graphic design, carpentry, data analysis and other projects.
The fifth method by which inmates can earn points is through an experimental program in directed behavioral change which is being conducted with five men. Men who have "personality conflicts" or un-

desirable characteristics are directed to behave in such a manner so as to resolve these problems and which will enhance their chances of being paroled. Points are earned through specific behaviorial assignments, participation in behavioral counseling and/or improvement in ratings given by staff members.
Finally, certain regular G.T.&D.C. staff, namely correctional officers and the recreational directors, are authorized to distribute points to inmates to reinforce appropriate behaviors. Usually these "bonus" points are given for extra, voluntary and/or non-scheduled work.
The counseling program at the G.T.&D.C. is conducted by five correctional counselors and a social worker who specializes in family problems. Counselors conduct group therapy sessions and an intensive drug therapy program. Alcoholics Anonymous is also in operation.
Recreational programs at G.T.&D.C. are directed by an activities director. Athletic teams participated in community leagues. The institution also has a Jaycee Chapter, chess club, weight lifting club, art classes conducted by an art professor from Clarke College in Atlanta, Georgia, and musical instruction facilities and concerts.

Volunteers are accepted from all segments of society and arc encouraged to be the type of meaningful person an ex-offender needs. Man:;. outstanding members of the business and civic community have donated their time in providing guidance and encnuragement for the returning offender. Naturally. each separate program is individuali1cd fur the offender involved and directed toward his greatest needs.

The folluwing special Vulunteer Pmgrams were implemented during FY'73:
Vista Program
Fi ftc en (I 5) Vista vul un leers are presently ~tssigned to D.O .O.R. Volunteer Services Pwgram
Institution

Under the auspices of the Division of Community-Based Services. the Volunteer Services Program has been expanded to include services to inmates. probationers and parolees. Existing and new prugrams arc tailot ed to the particular facilities and needs of each community.
During the past fiscal year. eight area coordinators were assigned the task of implementing the volunteer program throughout the state in order to provide a comprehensive volunteer program to all offenders regardless of their status.
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 positive response.

\'inc (9) Vista volunteers were assigned to develop a 30- tu hO-hour pre-release orientation program at Georgia Industrial Institute. Alto. Georgia. The program should be in operation by January I. 1974.
Community-Based Services
Six (6) Vista volunteers assigned to three Cllmmunity-based units (Savannah, Macon and Atlanta) assist local staff in volunteer program.
Kennesaw Junior College Volunteer Program
Under the direction of the local probation/parole supervisor, students and faculty members serve as volunteers in one-to-one counseling. group counseling and pre-sentence investigations. College provides office space for an on-campus probation/parole office.

Young Lawyers Parole Aide Program Sponsored by the American Bar Association and under directions of
D.O.O.R. Volunteer Services and the Georgia Young Lawyers Association of the Georgia Bar Association. the one-one Parole Aide Program was implemented in !'\ovember 1972. At the present time there are Ill young lawyers working as volunteers with parolees.
Youthful Offender Program Offenders sentenced under the new Youthful Offender Act are being
assigned volunteers upon their release from prison.
Institutional Volunteers 164 volunteers are now working with inmates inside uur institutiom
in one-to-one cuunseling and group programs. Volunteers working at Gemgia Industrial Institute have formed a traveling gospel group that visits churches and schools to give performances.
Family Services
The belief that cuntact with the "free world" is an essential part of a comprenhensive rehabilitation program is clearly demonstrated in the current trend toward treatment-oriented transitional centers. This trend recognizes those intluences outside the institution that come to bear upon the offender and acknowledges that rehabilitation cannot be attained through isolation. Family Services shares this concept of increased "free world" contact as a healthier alternative, with emphasis on the offender's family often the strongest influence of either positive or negative behavior.
This program. originally Social Services. was implemented in 197 2 and was the first of its kind in the nation. It was designed to work with the family in the home situation of the offender in an effort to enable families to cope with problems which related to the incarceration of a family member. Hmvever. the present program is necessarily limited to servicing those families who receive aid to the blind. aid to the disabled. aid for dependent children and old age assistance.
In keeping with the concept of increased "free world" contact as a healthier alternative. Family Services expects to establish statewide community-based offices within each major city in the state. making services a few hours away from eligible families. The projected clientele is estimated

to be (1.000 families. Hopefully, Family Services can be instrumental in enabling these families to strengthen their po,itive influences un the offender. The target date for completion of statewide expansiun is ~larch IlJ7-J.. Excluding suppllrtive and central office staff, there will be furtv-five Family Service workers thrnughuut the state.
Upon receiving a request to assist an offender's family. a Familv Services worker visits with the family. The worker observes and giv;, honest feedback based on his or her expertise, indicating the possible areas in which Family Services can provide assistance, determining the familv strengths and e'tablishing the direction that the family wants tu assum~. Lastly. a determination is made as to whether Family Services and the offender's family can pool their resources to resolve the problem. At this point. the following services are made available to eligible families:
1) Family and Individual Counseling To intervene in thuse family problems and disagreements which may have resulted in the incarceratiun of a family member.
2) Home Management To assist families whose regular income has been seriously depleted by at tempting to aid in terms of nwney management.
3) Consumer Education To prevent families from being abused in the market place.
-J.) Health Maintenance Information To educate families about health problems such as sickle cell anemia. hypertension and venereal disease.
5) Transportation to Community Resources To enable families to make improvements in their life needs such as housing. health and jobs.
(1) Transportation to Institutions To maintain continued contact and family relationships during incarceration.
7) Referral to Community Resources To guide families toward those services in the community tu solve their problems.
S) Family Orientation Program- To educate and inform Lllnilics about available rehabilitation programs within the prison sy,tem and to transmit information regarding policies and procedures of

t:he Department.
9) <Community Orientation Program To sensitiLe the community atbout problems and need s of the returning offender ami his fTamily in the hopes of crea ting better opportunities in the area CJf employmen t and social readjustment.
I0) Ifamity Case Studie - To assist parole supervisors in their pre pJarole inve ligations.
One mf the goals established in 1972 by Family Services wa~ the em pl oymemt of ex-offenders. Two ex-offenders are pre ently working with the Departrment and efforts are being made to place others.
First iimplemented as an experiment, the Family Services Program is found to provide an exce llent mean of opening up communications, which do not exist in many cases, between the offenders and their fami lies. Tlh e end re ult of Family Services i to promote rehabilitation of inm ates by reducing their fr ustrations.

the Drug Abuse Program \\'ithin the Georgia correctional system has ex-

panded its services in an effort to reh<.~b ilita te the incarcerated drug o!Tendcl.

.J

In January 1973 a pre-release drug center ca lled Andromeda was

opened in Atlanta. This center. funded through a federal grant. is designed

to lwuse and treat <.~pproximately 200 offenders a year. both in-patient

and ou t-p atien t. The in-patient segment is made up of those inmates who

have six months remaining on their sentences to serve and who meet the

stringent entrance criteria for acceptance into Andromeda Pre-Release

Drug Center. The out-patient segment is made up of parolees who h<.~ve

been p<.~rnled to the Atl<.~nta <Jre<J and who are in need of supportive coun-

seling services as well as urine surveillance.

The program offered <Jt Andromeda is broken into two pan . The

first three month involves intensive counse lin g in the <Jreas of at titud es

and behavior a related to the over<.~ll commun it y. Th e seco nd three

months are spent preparing inm ates for successful re-entry into the com -

munity.

There are on-going drug programs within all IS state prisons in which

drug offenders can receive individual and group counseling. During the

pa t year. 3-+9 offenders benefited from the drug program which is a

sub . tantial increase over the previous year in which 165 inm:lle were

involved in these ervices.

A tremendou impact on the institutional ph:tse of drug treatment

was the federa l funding of S222.000 to expund the taffwithin major state

institutions. With the staff expan ion. more than 1500 inmate can be

reached next year.

Th e Alcohol Abuse Program is coordin<.~ted to <.~II state <.~nd some

cou nt y correctional institutions through a state supervi or . During the past

ye<.~r <.~pproximately 400 inmates participated in alcohol programs. Effort

arc being made to expand the out-patient services as well as the Alcohol

Therapy group .

Cunt inu eJ effort will be made to link with community resources. The CLl!1111lunity vocat iona l-t echnical schoo ls under th e Depa rtment of l:.ducation offer a tremendous future reso urce for vocational trainin g. Private industric wi ll be tapped as a so urce of training.
In the area of tead1ing skil ls for " coping with soc iety." th e effort is 111 lh infancy.

Various institutions work with inmate in areas of job appli catlun and world-of-work sk ill s. Pil ot program s are planned which will expand and int ensify the effor t to teach inmates about the soc iety from which they came and to which they will return .
This whole effort of tea ching " co ping skill s" must involve all treatment aspects. Counseling. grou p therapy, role playing. behavior modili cation. treatme nt diagnosis and planning. family services ass istance, in titutional work re ponsibilities. as well as information acquisition shou ld all be pan of the process of helping inmate to function productively on the outside.

Th e ability to read. to balan ce a che ckb oo k, to perform the technical a>pects of a job and to know where to go for specifi c community ser vi ces are behavioral objectives of educationa l program s.

10. Electrical Repair II. Food Service Training 12. Masonry
Presently. there are 219 youthful offenders involved in the vocational education courses. At Alto, many attended courses on a half-day basi, and vocational programs the remaining half.
The Department of Offender Rehabilitation. under the auspices of the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (L.E.A.A.) initiated an evaluation of the education program at G.I.l. The evaluation team was composed of four national experts in correctional educatiun and four representatives selected by the State Department of Education. It is hoped that the recommendations and suggestions of this team, as documented in report form, will serve as a guide for program changes for the I .000 men at G.I.I.
The vocational program at Georgia Training and Development Center in Bufmd has been funded for the past six years by the Manpower Development and Training Act (MOTA) through the Georgia State Department of Labor and administered by the Departments of Education. Labm and Offender Rehabilitation. On July 1, 1973. funding for the program was assumed by the Department of Offender Rehabilitation and the MOTA monies were directed to other institutions to meet the intense need for training among other offender populations.
The seven vocational offerings at G.T. & D.C. are:
I. Auto Mechanics Building Maintenance
-''. Drafting and Graphic Arts

4. Bricklaying 5. Barbe ring 6. Welding 7. Small Gus Engine and Motorcycle Repair
During the past year. several new programs were implemcntt:d at G.T.&D.C.: some inmate~ given indeterminate sentences under the new Youthful Offender Act were housed at G.T.&D.C. and a cuntract system was dcvelnped for their treatment: a behavior mudificatiun prugr~rm \\as cunducted by the P:-,ycholugy Department at Georgi~r State Uni\'ersitv: Individually Prescribed Instructiun (!PI) was installed tu teach langu~qe,c, arts and math as a support to vucatiunal training.

maining institutiuns. most are being trained in automotive repair. electrical repair and building construction. In additiun to formal training. w,Hk experience in areas such as printing. sign making, horticulture ami building maintenance is otlered through Correctional lndLhtries. On-the-job training (OJT) in areas such as food preparation. plumbing and electrical repair. is a part of each institut10n\ program.

Thruugh the local Vucatiunal Rehabilitation Center. an additionai 20 women arc receiving training in such areas as food service, business education. barbcring. uphobtery, home and family management and nurse's aide training.
One of the exciting programs developed during the past yc~rr wa:-, the Individual Referral Program sponsored by the Labor Department. This program. initiated in January 1973. pays tuition for carefully seleded inmates to attend local area vocational schools. The area vocatiunal schools have accepted these inmates and provided them normal services. This movement toward the usc of community facilities is recommended by national crime commissions and experts in criminulogy. The program provides an economical way t'1 give viable training tu the unskilled inmate. The program has been refunded for FY '7-1- tu aL'Cummoda te 75 men and includes the extension uf services tu some uf this group upon pamlc.

Since the Department received numerous requests from various state and national organizations to participate in exhibitions, the Public Information and Communications Office acquired federal funds to design and purchase a display called 'System 70'. Since June 1973, the Department has displayed 'System 70' to a national convention, a regional convention and numerous state conventions for the purpose of letting interested persons know about the progress being made within the Georgia penal system.
Also, the Public Information and Communications Office acqmred copies of a film, entitled "from Failure to Opportunity," which is being

Through this resocialization process, the individual will hopefully be able to function successfully upon his return to the community.
Since the establishment of the Recreation Division in 1972, the following programs were implemented:
1. Full-time recreational supervisors were employed at all state correctional institutions.
2. State correctional facilities were provided with recreational supplies and equipment through the aid of a grant from L.E.A.A.
3. The first Georgia Prison Olympics were held in' October 1972.

RESEARCH, PLANNING AND STAFF DEVELOPMENT DR. RONALD POWELL, Assistant Commissioner Research WILLIAM E. BAUGHMAN, Assistant Deputy Commissioner
The Research Section serves primarily in a supportive capacity, responding to research requests from the various departmental divisions.
Since fiscal year 1971-72, the professional Research Section staff has grown from four members (acting director, research associate, research assistant and statistician) to 19 professional staff members who are located in Atlanta and at the Georgia Training and Development Center in Buford, Georgia.
Three major grants supported the Research Section's operation during FY '73 representing a total monetary commitment from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) and from the state of $302,895.67.
In January 1973, the Research Section's priorities of commitment moved toward program evaluation. In order to develop tailored research designs and methodologies for each rehabilitative program, the Research

Review Board was reinitiated. To insure positive end results of the evaluations, a computerized system for the reporting and collection of data was planned for implementation during FY '74.
Evaluative Designs
Fiscal year 1972-73 marked the first time in the history of the Department that the Research Section has been charged with the primary responsibility of evaluating the effectiveness of rehabilitative programs. During FY '72-'73, research designs in over half of the following programs were developed beyond the initial stages: Staff Training: Sub-Community Probation Center; Recreation (institutional); Drug (institutional and community); Intensive Counseling (community); Work Release (institutional and community); and Social Services (community). Classification and Diagnostic Procedures; Community Treatment Centers; Macon Diagnostic Center; Vocational Training (institutional); Volunteers; Behavior Modification; and Institutional Counseling are other programs involved in the evaluation.
Because of the complexity of some designs, the time frames for completion sometimes extend beyond a one-year limit. This will allow ample time for a follow-up verification of recidivism patterns. All designs have the inherent flexibility to continue the evaluation over several years or to redirect efforts when programmatic aspects change.
The primary tool during FY '73 for developing the evaluative designs was the Research Review Board. Reinitiated in January 1973, the Board met twice monthly with the redefined primary responsibility of developing the evaluative designs.
The Research Review Board was comprised of six university professors and qualified researchers from the disciplines of psychology, sociology, deviant behavior, methodology and statistics, criminal justice and operant behavior.
At each meeting of the Board a rehabilitative program director presented the grant, mission and objectives of the respective program, providing the Board with an overview.
Staff research associates also attended each meeting and individually assumed the responsibility of coordinating and implementing the evaluations. Thus, a complement of three individuals - Research Review Board

member, program director and research associate - could ensure that an appropriate design was developed and implementable.
To give additional insight into the development of the evaluative designs, staff members of the State Crime Commission were also present at the meeting. Computerized Information System
The Department of Offender Rehabilitation and the Department of Administrative Services (D.O.A.S.) have been working closely since February 1973 to prepare for the LEAA grant relating to the computerized information system for D.O.O.R. Progress during the last few months of FY '73 included preparation of the Life History Questionnaire which will be administered to the inmate population. Tentative forms for scoring crime description data was devised. A computerized personnel accounting system (PACS), which will form the framework for the personnel-training report, was bought by D.O.A.S., as was the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), and EASYTRIEVE. SPSS is a system of multipleaccess, computerized files. EASYTRIEVE is a file-handling system which will save substantial time and money in producing administrative and research reports. The computerized information system should be ready for implementation at the beginning of FY '74.
Planning TOM STRINGER, Assistant Deputy Commissioner
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 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 loca-

tion 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 will 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. Comprehensive Vocational Training Plan for Georgia Correctional Institutions
B. Text Draft for Inmate Handbook C. University Clubs Feasibility Study D. Home Release Program E. Cover for Monographs F. Feasibility Study for Potential Office Space for The Division of
Staff and Program Development G. Financial Feasibility of PWC System H. Determination of Parole Denials I. Inmate Evaluation Form Revision J. Feasibility of Vocational Training Centers K. Releasing Inmates Ninety Days Prior to Maximum Release Date L. Criteria for Special Leave M. Educational, Vocational and Other Programs in Institutions N. Comprehensive Offender Program Effort (COPE) 0. Model Offender Information System P. State Correctional Institutions: Critical Analysis Q. Information on Escape Rates and Recapture Rates for State and
County Institutions R. Develop Guidelines for Inmate Outside Activities S. Feasibility of D.O.O.R.'s Utilization of Liberty County Jail T. Police Powers- Guidelines for Use by Our Employees U. Pre-Release
Other major planning endeavors include 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 attempts 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 attempted to concretely implement the regional correctional plan in its Feasibility Study for the Georgia-Bibb Corrections Facility. This initial study determined 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, if implemented, 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 communitybased programs.
This feasibility study, the first of its kind in the nation in terms of joint institutional usage by state and local governments, is presently being considered for implementation by Bibb County authorities.
Other major planning efforts that are in progress include the following:
A. Critical Analysis of Departmental Programs B. Jaycee Chapters C. Youthful Offender Education Program D. Inmate Incentive Extra Good Time E. Therapeutic Community Impact Program F. Misdemeanant Project G. Impact Grant
Staff Development
BAY RUSSELL, Assistant Deputy Commissioner
The Staff Development Section provides educational and trammg experiences for departmental personnel to enhance individual and organizational skills thus improving the quality of services to the public offender.

The year 1972-73 reflected a significant increase in the number of staff members involved in training and educational programs. This year a total of 1268 persons participated in staff development programs as compared to 882 the previous year. The number of hours these employees spent in training increased from 45,812 in 1971-72 to 77,136 this year.
A vital part of training is the Orientation Training Program conducted for correctional officers, probation-parole supervisors and other staff members. This program addresses the skills necessary to perform both in the institution and in the community, providing training in human reiations, concepts of rehabilitation and the individual's role in effecting positive change in the offender. Fifteen orientation programs were conducted this year involving 224 employees.
The importance of well-trained supervisory and management staff members in effecting programs cannot be minimized. Both supervisors and managers are important links in the chain of people working for the rehabilitation of the public offenders. In recognition of this, more than 125 employees participated in over 4,500 hours of training. This training included supervisory development, basic management and advanced management programs. Some of the many levels represented in this training included lieutenants, captains, unit coordinators, deputy wardens and assistant deputy commissioners. Supervisory and management training reached all levels of these grades which greatly enhanced their skills in dealing with their areas of responsibility.
The Department of Offender Rehabilitation has a broad spectrum of professional disciplines represented in its staff which includes, among other security staff, teachers, counselors, social workers, probation-parole supervisors, food service specialists, recreation specialists, training officers and chaplains.
In 1972-73 over 600 staff members participated in over 16,000 hours of specialized training designed to improve their professional skills.
An integral part of the staff development activities of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation has been its undergraduate and graduate educational programs. The graduate program is designed to allow selected employees who are fully employed an opportunity to obtain a master's degree in correctional counseling within two years by attending class approximately three full days each month. This program affords the employee

the benefit of combining the theoretical and practical aspects of the rehabilitation profession. During the fiscal year , 90 persons were active in this work-study program at the University of Georgia in Athens and 12 at Georgia State University in Atlanta.
In addition to the work-study programs, 196 employees engaged in graduate and undergraduate courses. These courses were held at Georgia State Prison, Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center, Georgia Industrial Institute and Georgia Training and Development Center. In summary, more than 41 ,000 hours of training was devoted to formal educational pursuits sponsored by the Department of Offender Rehabilitation .
Training and education is not only for the present but for the future. One of the most significant steps to meet the staff development needs of the Department is the establishment of a Staff Development Center on the campus of the University of Georgia. The renovation of Soule Hall, a former women's dormitory , into a teaching facility with the capability of housing over eighty persons is unique to correctional training. This facility is jointly staffed by departmental specialists and University of Georgia faculty and staff. This cooperative venture draws upon the expertise of both the agency and the University in meeting the challenges of the correctional system. Through this facility new techniques and methods in training correctional personnel will be developed and refined by its staff, thus providing the Georgia correctional system with the most competent staff in the nation.
WORK RE LEASE
As a vital component of the offender rehabilitation process, work release provides inmates with an opportunity for gradual movement back into free society. As work releasees, inmates assume some responsibility for themselves and their families by providing financial support from their community employment earnings. This program also benefits statewide industry by filling manpower vacancies as well as deferring the maintenance cost of offender institutionalization.
These sustaining benefits have sparked the growth of work release statewide . Fiscal year 1973 registered an increase of ~pproximately onethird the number of inmates approved for work release as compared with the previous fiscal year. Some 343 inmates worked 132,620 hours, averaging $2.56 per hour and grossing $410,352.87 total annual earnings. As a

YOUTHFUL OFFENDER DIVISION

Members of the Board:

A. BURTON LEE, Chairman, State Board o(Corrections/ Offender Rehabilitation
ELLIS C. l'v!ACDOUGALL, Commissioner, Department of Offender Rehabilitation
/1LLEN L. A ULT, Associate Commissioner W. H. LOWE, Director, lnamte Administration THOMAS M. Jt'XKINS, Deputy Commissioner, Region lll ANITA HARDY, Assistant Deputy Commissioner

The Georgia Youthful Offender Act of 197 2 created the Youthful Offender Division of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation. Youthful offenders are committed to the Department under the provisions of this act for an indeterminate 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 another institution depending upon his needs. A contract is negotiated between the youthful offender, the Youthful Offender Division and the institutional staff. The contract specifies which institutional program the offender agrees to complete and a conditional release date contingent upon successful completion of set goals. Individualized contractual conditions include academic instruction, voca tiona! instruction, on-the-job training, group and individual counseling, recreational activities and psychiatric evaluation and treatment. Only in allowing the offender to participate in his basic program and in giving him the responsibility for his own release can he prepare for a successful return to the community.
When all terms of the contract have been fulfilled, or upon expiration of four years from the date of conviction, the five-member 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 and not to exceed maximum sentence.
In order to provide more personal contact with the offender during his critical period of aftercare 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.
One hundred ninety-two offenders have been sentenced under the Georgia Youthful Offender Act; one hundred forty-seven are presently incarcerated within the system, and forty-five have been conditionally released to community supervision. Of those who have successfully completed treatment and programmatic objectives in order to return to the community, one has re-entered the system through Conditional Release Revocation.
Emphasis in 1974 will be on refining the existing Youthful Offender Program to make it more amiable to the wide variety of individual needs within this age group. Other efforts will be directed toward providing a more intense program for the youthful offender during the period of conditional release and community living, and to include a continuation of programmatic objectives and requirements on an individual bas.is for each conditional releasee.
