It is the first institution in the history of the state correctional system to be named for an individual. The action was taken following unanimous approval by the Board of a resolution presented by Commissioner David C. Evans. Chairman Rutledge had worked untiringly to help the Department locate and secure the land upon which that institution was built.
The Board of Offender Rehabilitation has placed a reproduction of Henrick Hofman's painting, "Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane," in the chapel of Georgia State Prison , Reidsville , in memory of Chairman Rutledge.
Jack T. Rutledge provided leadership, vision and stability to the Board and the Department of Offender Rehabilitation during a period of rapid growth and correctional transition. He exemplified the true spirit of civic duty and unselfish service to the Board of Offender Rehabilitation and the people of Georgia.

Board of Offender Rehabilitation
The Board of Offender Rehabilitation was established under the 1972 Reorganization Act. The Board is made up of nine members , who are appointed by the Governor for a term of five years.

ORGANIZATION
The Department of Offender Rehabilitation serves a twofold purpose: To provide maximum protection to the community, staff and inmates; To provide resources to offenders which would enable them to become self-sufficient and law-abiding citizens. The Commi sioner of DORis employed by the State Board of Offender Rehabilitation and initiates the missions and goals of the Department.
DOR's central offices are located at 800 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta , Georgia 30365.
The Department encompasses five major divisions : Correctional Facilities , Offender Rehabilitation Services, Probation Services, Offender Administration, and General Services Administration. These divisions are directed by deputy commissioners and are headquartered in Atlanta with the exception of the Correctional Facilities Division which is located at P.O. Box 2033, Court Square Station , Dublin, Georgia 31021. This office was relocated in Atlanta effective October, 1980.
DOR employs 3,845 people- 234 central office and training personnel and 3,611 field personnel. The field personnel consists of I,785 security staff, 496 probation officers and field staff, 229 probation administrative and clerical staff, 239 institutional and community correctional counselors, 16 chap lains, 180 vocational and academic instructors, 123 health personnel, 120 food service employees, 34 recreational and physical education instructors, 122 farm and maintenance employees, 19 wardens / superintendent , 19 community center directors and 229 institutional administrative personnel.
The Georgia Correctiona l Industries Administration is closely aligned with DOR but functions as a self-sustaining public corporation. The Administration , created in 1960 by an Act of the General Assembly, is governed by a seven-member Board composed of business, labor and government leaders. The Commissioner of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation serves as a member of this board and the department provides certain administrative support to the administration. Through legislation the Correctional Industries Administration will come under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Offender Rehabilitation effective July I, 1980. The seven-member Correctional Industries Board will be dissolved .

Although the State Board of Pardons and Paroles is a separate agency, DOR provides administrative support in the area of personnel and fiscal affairs. The Board is composed of five members appointed by the governor to serve on a full-time basis for staggered terms of seven years . To insure close communication, DOR and members of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles meet on a monthly basis. The offices of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles are located at 800 Peachtree, N. E. , Atlanta, Georgia 30365.
There are 12, 196 inmates and 42,478 probationers under DOR's jurisdiction. Some 9,305 inmates are housed in the 19 state correctional institutions, 2,457 inmates are assigned to the 36 county correctional institutions, and 434 inmates are housed in the seven transitional centers. In addition , DO R operates 12 diversion centers in which some 411 probationers are housed. Since July I, 1975, DOR has paid to the 36 counties a stipend for housing state inmates. Prior to that date, county institutions did not receive state funds . The present rate is $5.00 per inmate per day. A total of $4,601 ,359.99 was paid during FY 80 to county correctional institutions for housing state inmates. Legislation was passed during the 1979 General Assembly, requiring DOR to pay $5 .00 per day for inmates who remain in county jails more than 60 days after DOR receives the sentence. The total paid during FY 80 was $114,911.00.
The term "recidivism" deals with the idea of offenders being released from a Georgia correctional institution and becoming re-involved with the criminal justice system through re-arrest, trial, re-conviction of a felony , and return to the Georgia correctional system. "Recidivism" is not a specific rate or measure, but an area of inquiry.
DOR statistics indicate about 22% of all offenders released from a Georgia correctional institution will return within three years, and about 30% will return at some point in their lifetime.
The revocation rate for probationers during FY 80 was 10%. The cost of confinement per inmate per year is $5,366.45, while probation supervision costs approximately $230.90 per probationer per year.

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER

The office of the Commissioner is made up of five units: Public Infor-
mation Office, Internal Affairs Office, Volunteer Services, Women's
Services and StaffI Inmate Grievances.

PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE

Established in 1969, the Public Information Office acts as a liaison with news media and the general public, as well as keeping DOR staff members informed about the operation!l of the department.

During FY 80, the Public Informatiorl Office issued approximately 2700 verbal and 125 written news release,, responded to more than 3500
news media inquiries, fulfilled approximately 150 staffI inmate speak-
ing engagements, arranged numerous press conferences and radio and television talk shows.

This office also replied to some 3,700 requests for general information and sponsored the Employee of the Ye~r Awards Program, one of the Department's major employee incentive! programs. The Awards selection committee is made up of five distinguished Georgians: First Lady Mary Beth Busbee; Senator Joseph Kermedy, Chairman of the Senate Offender Rehabilitation Committee; Representative Forest Hays, Chairman of the House Penal Affair~ Sub-committee; Mrs. Bettye Hutchings, Chairman of the State Crime Commission; and Mr. John Jeffreys, Institute of Government, University of Georgia.

The Public Information Office also publishes brochures and the Department's Annual Report.

Because of the criminal justice program~ currently offered in many high schools and colleges, the number of inquiries from students for personal interviews, classroom lectures, and infclrmation packets has increased dramatically. Additionally, the figures contained in the report represent a considerable increase over 1979 in the number of media contacts. This is due primarily to the issue of the death penalty.

The Information Office also coordinates the Get Smart program

throughout the state, conducts informcltion surveys, and arranges all

departmental special events. It coordin~ted the dedication ceremony of

3

the Atlanta Women's Diversion Center, assisted the Georgia Regional Commission in conducting a meeting in Dodge County, handled the dedication services of the new chapel at Georgia State Prison. worked with the Board of Offender Rehabilitation in providing a religious painting for the Georgia State Prison chapel in memory of the lat e Board Chairman, Jack T. Rutledge .
The Information Office provides state-wide news information on the mass inmate furloughs held four times during the year, coordinated ground breaking ceremonies at Dodge County Correctional Institution, planned and coordinated the open house of Lee Correctional Institution, arranged and coordinated the dedication ceremony of the Macon Women's Transitional Center. The Office coordinates tour of state correctional institutions, arranges media interviews with correctional personnel , keeps photo files updated , conducted the first training program for line supervisors on media policies and procedures.
The Information Office staff also supervises interns placed through the Governor's Intern Program, who assist the staff with a large volume of informational requests.
INTERNAL AFFAIRS
This division is re ponsible for the detection of violations of Georgia laws within the prison system, for violations of the departmental rules and regulations and for trend analysis of problem areas within the state correctional system. The Internal Affairs Division consists of eight persons who fulfill responsibilities in areas of investigations, coordination of fugitive apprehension and data analysis.
During FY 80, one hundred and sixty-one investigations were assigned and completed . They included such incidents as homicides, group disturbances and disruptions, aggravated assaults, sexual offenses, thefts of state property, arson and employee malfeasance.
More than 150 requests for data from various federal, state and local law enforcement agencies were received and completed by the Data Analysis section.
This division provided information on DOR fugitives to other law enforcement agencies and served as the liaison unit to the Georgia Bureau oflnvestigation's Metro Fugitive Squad. Information relating 4

to potential destinations of the fugitives was disseminated. Through combined efforts of local and state law enforcement officials within and outside the state, more than 350 DOR fugitives were apprehended .
During the fiscal year, staff members have attended various seminars and training sessions in an effort to improve the efficiency of the division and to maintain a professional level of expertise.
VOLUNTEER SERVICES
Through the use of many and varied community resources across the state, DOR is able to greatly enhance and expand its service capabilities. During the past year, approximately 2,200 indtviduals, religious groups, college interns and civic organizations donated more than 35,000 hours \ o provide supplemental services for offenders. These included individual tutoring in arts and crafts instruction, consumer education job preparation classes, individual and family counseling, and spiritual study programs. Many volunteered their time to serve as Volunteer Probation Supervisors or to serve on Citizen Advisory Councils, while others donated their time to visit inmates who have no friends or family in Georgia. Thousands of dollars' worth of used clothing, Christmas gifts for the children of incarcerated offenders, audio-visual equipment, and arts and crafts supplies were donated for the offender's use .
During the past year, the Department began certification of volunteer programs throughout the state. It is designed to standardize volunteer program criteria throughout the Department; to recognize staff personnel who often must work many extra hours to recruit, train and supervise volunteers and f or community activities; and to provide a simplified, verifiable record-keeping system, which allows the Department to measure and evaluate its use of community resources .
One particularly noteworthy achievement during the past year was the funding of a full time chaplain at New Horizon's Women's Center in Atlanta by a coalition of over 30 churches in the metropolitan area. This effort has served to provide a much needed service for women offenders and to broaden community awareness regarding this needed involvement in the correctional process.

Georgia Women's Correctional Institution, Hardwick 6

WOMEN'S SERVICES
The office of Women's Services was created in 1973 for the purpose of improving and expanding programs for female offenders, and with emphasis on utilization of community resources in the rehabilitation of female offenders. With a growing number of female offenders coming into the system, this oivision is challenged to design and develop creative programs to meet the various needs of female offenders.
Presently, there are five facilities for females in the Georgia system : a state correctional institution- Hardwick, offering a complete range of educational, vocational, counseling, recreational, and religious programs; three transitional centers: Atlanta Women's Transitional Center; New Horizons Treatment Center, Atlanta; Macon Women's Transitional Center; and one diversion center located in Atlanta . The transitional program attempts to facilitate a woman's return to her community and family by providing counseling, educational programs and employment opportunities. New Horizons, which was relocated from Peachtree Place in September, 1978, has a more specialized mission of providing a comprehensive program to meet the needs of those women with drug/ alcohol problems and emotional difficulties. A newly opened Atlanta Diversion Center for women houses 23 women and provides the courts with the state's first alternative to incarceration for females convicted of a crime. This center, likewise, offers a range of rehabilitative services and employment opportunities, as well as requires the offender to repay her victim.
During FY 80, DOR developed a comprehensive, long-range plan entitled: The Female Offender in the 1980's: A Continuum of Services. Four major goals with specific objectives have been defined for implementation during this decade:
l) To incarcerate only those women for whom there is no realistic alternative;
2) To develop each woman's human potential by providing relevant programming;
3) To encourage an awareness within the agency of the needs of women that warrant particular programming and security approaches; and
4) To increase the public's awareness of and sense of responsiblity for the female offender.

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
The Office of Inspector General was established and began operation on May I, 1980. The Inspector General , who reports directly to the Commissioner, conducts on-site inspections of state and county facilities and offices which are under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Offender Rehabilitation.
It is the responsibility of the Inspector General to discover whether applicable Jaws , regulations , policies, and procedures are being followed, with particular reference to respect for the human rights of offenders and the safety of the community; to determine whether all legal requirements are being met with respect to security, safety of premises and persons against fire, abuse, or other hazard , health needs as demonstrated by proper sanitation and adequate medical care, and similar matters; to correct Oagrant abuses immediately; and to report appropriately to the Commissioner upon conclusion of an inspection.

RESEARCH AND EVALUATION

The Office of Research and Evaluation (ORE) is the agency's internal information and monitoring service. Created in December of 1977, ORE conducts a variety of program evaluations and rehabilitation research studies. It also includes Systems Development, which maintains the agency's statistical reporting.

During FY 80, three sets of programs and procedures and six new computer programs were developed. Fourteen major statistical studies, accompanied by written reports were completed , along with seven major statistical studies that did not include written reports. There were 138 minor statistical reports .

Evaluation studies were completed for the Georgia Industrial Institute, probation field operations in three judicial circuits, the Earned Time System, Shock Probation, and issues relating to volunteers in corrections. A major research project was completed which analyzes the factors affecting per capita prison population.

ORE also conducts final evaluations of all grant funded projects and assists in budget preparations and monitoring.

The Evaluation and Systems Development units will separate from

ORE in FY 81. However, ORE will continue to evaluate programs,

7

monitor various operational areas and grant programs, as well as perform special research projects.

OFFENDER REHABILITATION SERVICES

The Office of Offender Rehabilitation Services is responsible for the development and monitoring of rehabilitation. In this staff role to the operational components of the agency, it provides technical assistance in the operation and management of health services, counseling programs, recreation, and religious programs. Through technical assistance and monitoring of programs, management is provided the information to assure an accountable and system-wide approach based upon accepted performance standards.
The Office of Offender Rehabilitation Services is also responsible for the development of pre-release programs and the management of transitional community centers for those individuals who are within the last months of incarceration or those referred to the centers by the Board of Pardons and Paroles. (See Section 3, Field Services-Transition Program.)
The following provides further information concerning the Office of Offender Rehabilitation Service's programs and services.

CHAPLAINCY SERVICES

There are presently 27 chaplains serving the state correctional system. Of these, 16are clinically trained and II are contracted part-time. They represent all faiths and have backgrounds which correspond to inmate religious preferences. One of the full-time chaplains at G. I. I. is furnished free to the state through The Rock of Ages Prison Ministry Program. Two transitional centers have full-time chaplains who are supported by church groups.

Islamic worship services are conducted in 14 state institutions, 9 county facilities and two transitional centers. The services are conducted by Imam's , cleared through and supervised by the prison ministry office at Masjid 15.

The Chaplaincy Program is currently reaching 36% of the inmate

8

population in worship, 51 % in pastoral counseling, and 56.6% in reli-

gious education.

The Way of Life Prison Ministry is working with laymen at the Georgia Industrial Institute, Middle Georgia Correctional Complex: Youthful Offender Unit, Women's Unit, Rutledge C.l., Montgomery C.l., and the Georgia State Prison. The Campus Crusade for Christ concept is taught by laymen to inmates who volunteer for the program. The inmates, in turn, are asked to meet with their friends , share their experiences with the Lord , read the Bible and pray.
Departmental pastoral training continues at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center and a workshop for chaplains is being conducted on a quarterly basis.
The Christian Broadcasting Network placed I0 video tape cassette units in institutions for viewing 700 Club films and Bible teaching programs.
Chaplaincy programs were developed for the new institutions in Atlanta and Savannah. Special religious programs are being considered for the institutions in the future . These programs,.which present special music, faith sharing, and speakers, have been beneficial to both staff and inmates.

COUNSELING SERVICES

Concerned with improving counseling services provided to individual offenders, the Department has continued to increase the number of counselor personnel from 69 in FY 75 to 141 in FY 80. This has resulted in more manageable counselor caseloads and the opportunity for better meeting the individual needs of offenders. Counselors in correctional institutions and community centers help offenders cope with the problems of daily living, develop personal responsibilty and acquire skills needed for responsible community life.

Counseling Services plans, organizes and coordinates statewide coun-

seling services and programs. In FY 80 efforts were directed toward

standardizing the programs of transitional centers, defining and devel-

oping services for special-need groups such as young offenders and

alcohol-drug abusers and developing counseling programs and stand-

ards to be useq in planning new correctional institutions. As Counseling

Services continue to develop, the counseling role will encompass not

only regular counseling and case coordination services, but will also

provide for some specialization in such areas as alcohol-drug abuse,

9

academic-vocational guidance, and social services. It will also provide a more formalized sub-system of supportive mental health services appropriate to correctional settings.

Significant accomplishments in FY 80 include the following:

The 141 counselors in 19 state correctional institutions conducted individual and group counseling sessions and coordinated personal development programs and activities for inmates in conjunction with community agencies and citizens' groups. Counselors reported the following average monthly individual and group counseling services:

Some 65 counselors provided counseling services in 18 community transitional, diversion and residential treatment centers. Since intensive counseling is often necessary to offender adjustment in the community, these counselors provide counseling services regularly to each offender resident in conjunction with individual needs and center programs. Counselors reported the following average monthly individual and group counseling services:

Standard Institution Alcohol / Drug Abuse Program- Effective October I, 1979 (through LEAA two-year funded grant) standard programs were piloted in four state correctional institutions. Clinical consultation and in-service training was provided to institutional counselor staff in the implementation of a standard institutional program. In FY 80, some offenders successfully completed the program requirements at one of the four pilot program institutions.

Counseling Service Delivery to Serious Juvenile Offenders-

Effective September I, 1979 (through LEAA funded grant) a coun-

seling service delivery project was piloted in conjunction with the

University of Georgia to provide specialized psychological / sociolog-

ical assessment, counseling and related follow-up services to juvenile

offenders under 21 years of age committed as adults in state correc-

tional institutions. Services during the first year phase in FY 80

included psychological testing, community / family counseling and

clinical recommendations for counselor use in institutional, com-

munity center and / or parole settings. The second year phase in FY

81 will focus upon developing a pilot family education program,

II

providing institution counselor staff with training in family intervention and assistance, as well as continued follow-up with juvenile offenders nearing release or parole.

Department Counseling Services Standards- During FY 80 (through LEAA funds) program consultation assistance was initiated to refine the "draft" department standards for institutional counseling programs and activities meshing counseling, psychological services and case management requirements into measurable standards for use in statewide monitoring of institutional counseling programs and cost center management needs.

Mental Health Subsystem- Major planning and development activities were conducted through the efforts of the department counseling services and health services administrative staff to prepare for the implementation of a subsystem of mental health services for emotionally disturbed offenders. The subsystem includes a refined referral system, graduated treatment services, key correctional institution intervention programs and utilization of Metro C. I. as an aftercare facility for offenders returning from Central State Hospital treatment. Initial implementation of the subsystem will be accomplished in FY 81 with the opening of Metro C. I.

Standard C<>mmunity Diversion Program- Major planning and development was provided by the Director of Counseling Services in conjunction with a task force of the Director of Diversion Programs and center counselor staff to establish a standard community diversion program which would be implemented in early FY 81.

Clinical Consultation Services-Part-time clinical psychologists were employed beginning June, I979, under the supervision of Director of Counseling Services to provide weekly clinical consultation to center counselor staff at New Horizons, Atlanta Women's Transitional Center, Macon Men's Transitional Center, Macon Women's Transitional Center and Andromeda Drug Treatment Center. Clinical consultation was added to the Atlanta Advancement Center beginning in FY 81. Consultation routinely involves staffing of individual residents with counselor staff, individual counselor consultation and clinical assessment of individual residents with emotional crises or episodes for mental health referral.

12

Computerized Counselor Case Management Reporting System- In

conjunction with the Department systems development staff, a computerized reporting system for counselors in correctional institutions was developed and implemented . The new system provides a monthly tracking of each offender assigned to individual counselor caseloads and includes the inmates' plans for services, problems or progress monthly , as well as reporting of counselor recommendations, counseling sessio ns and contacts with each offender. Field testing, training and implementation was conducted with all institutional counselors, as well as secretarial staff.

Program Reviews- At the request of Department managers, program reviews and technical assistance was provided for Macon Men's and Women's Transitional Centers and Andromeda Drug Treatment Center. Additionally, a formal program management review was conducted at Georgia Industrial Institute with recommendations for development and implementation of a crisis intervention program which was established in June , 1980.

Counselor Training Activities- Major planning and direction was provided in conjunction with the staff development training coordinators to provide counselor training opportunities:

- Department orientation program for counselors and other program staff was further revised to meet the unique needs of counseling and rehabilitation programming.

- In-service training workshops were developed and provided through training coordinators and consultants in such areas as alcohol / drug abuse treatment, crisis intervention, employment, family and group counseling.

- A series of workshops was conducted by training consultants with all institution and center counselor supervisors to increase their skills in team approaches to treatment and more effective utilization and supervision of counseling staff.

- Quarterly Conferences were expanded to include all supervisors from counseling, education, chaplaincy and diagnostics. Each conference included both combined and separate sessions to increase communication and coordination among these program areas.

Other Agencies Assistance- cooperative efforts and assistance with

13

other agencies this past year provided the following interface:

- Vocational Rehabilitation Division (DHR)- A state-wide written cooperative agreement was developed between the Department and the Vocational Rehabilitation Division (D H R) which specified the services and cooperative efforts to be in effect between the two agencies in serving eligible offender clients in institutions, community centers and probation services.
- DeKalb Addiction Center- Counselors from institutions, centers, and county institutions participated without cost on a rotating basis throughout the year in the one-week intensive training programs offered by DeKalb Addiction Center in drug j alcohol abuse treatment training.

Department Representation on Councils and Boards- The Director of Counseling Services represents the Department on the following councils, boards and institutes in an effort to seek cooperation, and possible linkage of services and support in areas of mutual concern :
- Governor's Advisory Council on Mental Health / Mental Retardation
- Governor's Advisory Council on Alcohol / Drug Abuse.
- Georgia Consortium for Career Information.
- Georgia Interagency Council on Troubled Children.
Additional Counseling Services Projects Proposed for FY 81:

- Develop staff training and special programs for serious juvenile offenders confined to the Department of Offender Rehabilitation.
- Define and develop special services for handicapped offenders in compliance with Public Law 94-142.
- Refine and implement life skills curriculum.
- Develop inmate orientation process for preparation for transfer to community transitional centers or release from institutions.

14

- Implement and refine mental health services subsystem approp-

riate to corrections settings.

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

Educational Services available to inmates in correctional institutions and residents of community facilities of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation during FY 80 consisted of a wide variety of academic, library, and vocational/ on-the-job training (OJT) programs.

All state correctional institutions offered basic education programs which range from literacy training to General Education Development (G EO-high school eq uivalency) . Emphasis in these activities is placed on increasing competencies in reading, mathematics, and language skills, utilizing the latest educational technology and programmed instructional material in a learning setting.

These laboratories represent a major step in the direction of an adultoriented , non-traditional education system, incorporating effective asses ment of individual learning deficiencies, prescription of specific mat erials, management of the lea rning program, short-range incentives, and eva luation of the student's progress and the program as a whole. The move toward standardi za tion of these programs in all institutions was assisted by monies received through the Earned Time System Standardization Grant, which provided consultant services and equipment for programs in several facilities .

The Adult Educati on Office, Department of Education (DOE), provided upport to DOR educational programming by administering the GED te t battery in in titutions on a regional ba is and assisting local Adult Education Programs in establishing in-house classes in several state and county correctio nal facilities .

Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education ACT (ESEA) provided federal funding in the amount of $371 ,677. 00 to support remedial mathematics, reading, and language instruction for the most needy students under 2 1years old at four tate correctional in sti tutions. The e cia es offered s uppl eme ntary activities for more than 1000 student who require more inten e training and individual attentio n than are available in regular tate-funded programs.

In addition to basi c kill , in-hou e college cour es supported by six post- econdary institutions , were offered at fifteen correctional facilities.

Special Education programs have not traditionally been part of the

15

regular educational programming operated by the department. However, DOE and DOR have jointly developed an agreement that will provide for the special education needs of handicapped inmates 18 years of age and below. Four Special Education Teacher positions were provided to DOR by DOE in September, 1980.

Library Services for inmates and community facility residents included such major activities as (I) librarian positions for Metro and Coastal C. I.; (2) Funding through Title IV B monies to the library at Georgia Industrial Institute; (3) thorough program reviews of the library programs at Middle Georgia Correctional Institution conducted by the Division of Public Library Services, DOE; (4) intensive training program for correctional librarians; and (5) expansion of library services to the Women's Unit. Several regional public libraries loaned book collections to institutions such as Georgia State Prison , Lee C. I. and Central C.l. The Division of Public Library Services provided materials to inmates in many of the institutions via a mail request / delivery system.

During FY 80, vocational training continued to focus on program standardization, supervisor and instructor training, individualization of vocational classes, and renovation / construction of vocational training facilities. There were 58 certified classroom /laboratory programs and 40 certified OJT programs operated for a total of I,200 training slots offered through DOE certified vocational training programs at the
following institutions: Walker C. I. I Walker Tech , Georgia Training and
Industrial Institution / Lanier Tech (CETA programs). Stone Mountain C. I. / DeKalb Junior College (G.C.I.A.), Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center / Griffin-Spalding Tech, Rutledge C. I. / Columbus Tech, Central C.I. / Macon Tech, Montgomery C.I. / Swainsboro Tech (G.C.I.A.), Lowndes C.I. / Valdosta Tech, and Lee C.!. / Albany Tech. In addition, ON R's Environmental Protection Division has certified a Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators' Program at Central C. I.

Federal CETA funds awarded to the Department total $424,436 and

included 8 vocational technical instructors and 12 vocational programs

with equipment and supplies. Also included in this grant were 10

contract programs with Area Vocational Technical Schools totaling

$122,167. New CETA programs implemented during FY 80 included :

Solar Energy (G.I.I. , C.C.I. , M.G.C.I., LEE C.l.), Gardening and

Grounds keeping (M.G.C.I.), Electrical Motor Repair (G. I. I.), and Vis-

16

ual Advertising (G. I.!.). Approximately 522 offenders were served by

the project in FY 80. Continued operation of all these programs is planned for FY 81.
During this period of time, vocational training facilities at G.S. P. and G.l.l. underwent substantial renovation projects. Both projects dealt with the redesign of shop layouts to include space for Learning Resource Centers and Toolrooms. With the successful completion of these two projects, the delivery of training services will be greatly enhanced at both facilities. It is particularly noteworthy that FY 80 saw construction begin for a new vocational training facility at Lee C. I. The new facility will house programs in auto mechanics, construction trades, heating / air conditioning, and so lar energy.
FY 80 saw Educational Services OJT programs continue to expand with the addition of Training Specialist (OJT Coordinator) positions at the Georgia Industrial Institute, Middle Georgia Correctional Institution, and Georgia State Prison. Development of formal OJT programs resulted in the expansion of vita l vocationa l training programs for offenders at a fraction of the cost of planning and operating formal classroom laboratory training programs.
Staff development activities for employees within academic and vocational cost centers included in-service training sessions for Title I ESEA staff, supervisor training, and various workshops for classroom instructors.
One special highlight during FY 80 was the implementation of a system to computerize enrollment, attendance, test scores, and related records of educational programs. Much valuab le information has been gained by its use.
HEALTH SERVICES
FY 80 was a period of continuing change and progress in health care for Georgia's inmate population. New directions were charted in the approach to the delivery of health care, while significant steps were being made to upgrade the quality of service provided. Accomplishments during FY 80 have included implementation of contract medical services, the beginning of construction on the Augusta Medical Unit, completion of the twenty (20) bed security unit at Eugene Talmadge
17

Memorial Hospital, Augusta, programming and equipping Metro Correctional Institution, and the addition of the twenty (20) new medical positions throughout the system.

The implementation of contract medical services was significant in that it represented a distinct departure from previous approaches to the delivery of health care. In contracting with a private medical consulting firm, the department accomplished two goals: the improvement in quality of care and a reduction in expenditures for health care. This program, implemented at Georgia Industrial Institute and Middle Georgia Correctional Institution, Women's Unit, was most encouraging in terms of the department's responsibilities in providing health services.

Adding to this new direction in correctional health care, was the beginning of construction of the Augusta Medical Unit. This 135-bed facility, scheduled to open in FY 82, will have a direct impact on both the level and quality of health care within the Georgia correctional system.

While the Augusta Medical Unit offers long range improvements, a more immediate step was the completion of the twenty (20) bed security unit at Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital. This unit, which will double the previous bed availability, will substantially alleviate current needs for inpatient services.

Other progr~ss realized during FY 80 included the development of the Health Services program for the Metro Correctional Institution. This institution, which will contain approximately 120 beds for mentally ill offenders, will significantly upgrade care and services available within the system.

This plan, when fully implemented, will provide a more comprehensive program for addressing the needs of the mentally ill.

A pronounced improvement in direct patient care delivery, both in number of contacts and length of contact, was accomplished with the positions created to bring the department more in line with health service standards, while improving overall care.

In addition to the above, a number of other projects were completed or

begun during FY 80. The first detailed analysis of expenditures to

Central State Hospital ($1 million in FY 80) was completed in an effort

18

to contain health care costs. Monies were also identified and utilized in

providing continuing education for professional medical staff.
The results of activities during FY 80 were very positive in terms of both immediate and long range goals. While many problems were addressed during the year, changes were begun which should insure continued improvement in correctional health care for years to come.

RECREATION

Participation in the correctional recreation program is a vital part of the total treatment program with the Department of Offender Rehabilitation process as it eases the tension and recreates the morale of the participants. The socializing influence inherent in this program enables the participating inmates to gain a better rapport among themselves as well as staff supervisors; at the same time, it provides a meaningful outlet for offenders during leisure hours.

During the past year the following programs have been conducted:

Intramural programs have continued at all state correctional institutions, as well as some county correctional institutions and community based treatment centers. Programs include basketball , soccer, volleyball, softball, flag football plus table games such as pool, table tennis, checkers, chess, cards.

State tournaments are conducted at the conclusion of each athletic season to determine the state champion and runners-up in each of four classifications.

Summer Olympics, which include track and field events, are conducted annually.

Winter Olympics, conducted each December include pool, table tennis, arm wrestling, one-on-one basketball, checkers and chess.

A Literary Contest, held annually (in cooperation with the Humanities Department of Mercer University of Atlanta) include prose, poetry, short stories and articles.

A Music Festival , held each October allows 30 minutes per

institution, to compete in the categories of rock, soul , country and

western, variety, barbershop quartets, gospel and vocals. Each

group is critiqued by professional musicians and awards are given

in each category.

19

Inmate arts and crafts are exhibited upon invitation at the Yellow Daisy Festival, county fairs , and art festivals.
Staff activities have been developed for all departmental personnel, such as annual tournaments in softball, golf, tennis and fishing, according to the season.
A coaches' clinic was conducted to aid institutional recreation directors in their respective .coaching skills in newly implemented activities. The clinic included volleyball and weightlifting in 1980.
A Drama Festival was initiated, with the drama group judged by professionals in drama.
Recreation programs existing in correctional institutions throughout the system include classes in arts and crafts such as leather, ceramics, decoupage and painting. The program also includes games such as chess, checkers, pool, table tennis, shuffleboard, foozball, basketball, volleyball, softball, soccer, horsehoes, flag football, badminton, and tennis. In addition, inmates participate in track and field events, boxing, weightlifting, aerobatics, jogging, fishing, dancing (Women's Unit), and special events such as Christmas party, Halloween party (for inmates' children), picnics, field day and cultural events.

GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

The General Services Administration (GSA) has the responsibility for units of DOR to insure their completion and compliance with state laws and regulations.
GSA is made up of six major sections: Personnel, Planning, Facilities Engineering, Grants Development and Administration, Office of Management and Budget, and Staff Development.

PERSONNEL OFFICE

The Department of Offender Rehabilitation, like most departments of

Georgia State Government, falls under the authority of the State Merit

System. Personnel policies and practices of DOR are, therefore, deve-

loped and implemented within the framework and guidelines of the

20

rules and regulations of the State Personnel Board, and the policies and

procedures of the State Merit System which are mandated by and consistent with Merit System Act 81 , 1975, as amended and enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia.
The department's basic personnel philosophy is as set forth in Act 8I. .."Impartial selection of the best qualified persons for government service- and equal opportunity for competent employees to be promoted with the service."
The ultimate mission of the DOR personnel office is to administer a system of personnel management and compensation based on merit principles and to build a career service in the department which will select and retain competent personnel. The process begins with the administrative arm of the office and continues through classification and transactions, each of which carries out specific responsibilties as reflected in the following:
ADMINISTRATION - Formulation and distribution of policies and procedures, promotion of equal opportunity in selection, coordination of employee benefits and services and provision of a management service for manpower allocation.
CLASS/FICA TION- Reviews, audits, processes and maintains accountability for all positions, assuring that each is properly structured to perform assigned responsibilities.
TRANSACTIONS UNIT - Insures that all personnel transactions such as appointments, promotions, transfers, etc. are accurately processed in a timely manner.
DOR's personnel staff supports the third largest state department in Georgia with slightly more than 4, I00 budgeted positions. This figure includes budgeted positions for two new institutions - Savannah and Metro. Excluding the positions budgeted for Savannah and Metro, the percent of vacancies departmentwide at the close of FY 80 was 7.5 percent or 278 of the 3,733 authorized positions in the operating facilities. The number of vacancies at the close of FY 80 was somewhat higher than at the close of FY 79. A freeze on hiring from February I through June 30, necessitated because of budgetary constraints, accounts for the increase in vacant positions.
The personnel statistics for the year reflect the following:. 21

PERSONNEL SERVICES AND HIGHLIGHTS DURING FY 80

The Offender Rehabilitation Vacancy Announcements - Distri-

bution is made weekly throughout the department to insure that

22

all departmental staff members are made aware of vacancies and

have an equal opportunity to apply if they desire. Selected out-ofstate job announcements are made the same way.

The Employee Suggestion Program- The Employee Suggestion Program (ESP) Committee, composed of four members appointed by the Commissioner and chaired by the Assistant Personnel Director, meets monthly to review suggestions received and make recommendations for adoption and award or nonadoption.

Technical Assistance- Information in the area of workmen's compensation, unemployment insurance, health benefits, and retirement is readily available.

Credit Union- Employees may join the State Employees' Credit Union and deposit savings through payroll deduction and may borrow from the SECU provided they meet certain standards. The Personnel Office receives, reviews and makes a recommendation on all loan applications. The Personnel Director, in addition to functioning as the departmental loan officer, serves on the SECU Board of Directors.

U.S. Savings Bond Campaign- U.S. Savings Bonds may be purchased through payroll deduction. The department conducts an annual campaign to enroll its employees in this payroll savings plan.

Affirmative Action Program- Underutilization is reversing as we work to change the composition of the applicant pool and provide larger percentages of qualified minorities and females from which to select; current leadership maintains a continuing awareness of the importance of equal employment opportunity.

Training Workshops- Eight (small 1-day) Personnel ProblemSolving Seminars were held during FY 80 in lieu of an annual conference. Feedback from each was extremely positive.

Policy Involvement and Administrative Matters- The Personnel

Office researches, develops and disseminates departmental poli-

cies related to personnel. Critical subjects of policy development

during FY 80 included employee complaints and grievances, over-

time, death of an employee, privacy of personnel records, tactical

squad, and mandatory retirement. Through three numbered se-

23

ries of memoranda, the Personnel Policy and Procedure Memorandum , Personnel Information Bulletin , and the Personnel Admini trativc Notice, the Personnel Office di eminates throughout the department information of importance and interest to all employees. In addition to new and revised departmental policies affecting employees, information distributed via thi memoranda se ri es includes additions and change to the State Personnel Board Rules and Regulations, and information and directives on such subj ects as retirement , health in ura nce, Employment Security Act , Workmen's Compensation, group (Boston Mutual) insurance, and deferred compensation.
FOOD SERVICES
During FY 80 funding was secured for a new warehouse at the distribution center in Baldwin County. The warehouse, ex pected to be completed in March, 1981 will provide approximately 45 ,000 square feet of modern storage. This will enable Food Services to improve accountability for inventory (approximately $750,000 at any point in time), and to assure certification for non-perishable products delivered throughout the system.
The meat processing facility at Georgia State Prison wa completed in June. This will permit even distribution of the meat cutting workload among the three facilities (G.I.I., G .S.P., and Baldwin County), and assure USDA approval of all portioned meat.
The Food Service system supplied 15 state institutions and 15 community centers with approximately 53 % of raw food products provided from DO R farms. The cost per meal was 57 cents, or about $1.70 per day per inmate/ client, for units served through the farm and central distribution system. The contract for services with Central State Hospital was monitored closely during FY 80. The cost per person / per day for supplying an average of 1,686 people was approximately $1.95.
The Food Service inventory system, implemented during the latter half of FY 80, has provided a completely automated system for inventory accountability at the central distribution warehouse and automation of cost/ changes to the 30 units served.
24

FARM SERVICES
During FY 80 production in Farm Services was expanded in some areas and reduced in others. A wet spring which delayed planting of some crops because equipment could not get into the fields , was followed by a hot dry summer which drastically curtailed yields of such crops as vegetables and hay. However, the value of DOR farm production exceeded $4.8 million. Total expenditures, including salaries, regular operating expenses, equipment purchases and other related farm expenses for farm operations in FY 80 was approximately $3 million. This provided a savings of at least $1 million to the taxpayers of the State of Georgia.
A reevaluation of our Farm and Food program is being made by specialists of the Cooperative Extension program of the University of Georgia to give guidance in planning for the next few years.

FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING

The Facilities Development and Engineering (FOE) Section is responsible for the design, construction and maintenance management of all new and existing departmental facilities , as well as the management of all departmental leased facilties . FOE has been responsible for implementation of the Master Plan for the increased delivery of services in a climate of increasing population, increasing construction costs and formulation of minimum facility standards. This environment has resulted in the most extensive facility construction and renovation effort ever experienced by the department.

FOE has been called upon to develop energy efficient designs while implementing energy efficient maintenance and fuel systems. The prototype development of a woodburning boiler system partially constructed at Dodge C.I. is a prime exam pie of the development of self-sufficient systems. New types of systems are also being examined, such as the development of a solar system at Lee Correctional Institution that will provide heating and hot water through a system of solar collectors.

FOE continued to develop preventive maintenance and training programs , as well as emergency support procedures. New systems for roof repair and sealing have been installed which will result in savings for future repairs. In addition, continued standardization of maintenance agreements, development of project request procedures, and simplified and maintenance procedures have resulted in a more efficient and timely maintenance system. Maintenance has been additionally required to effect sweeping renovations from fire stairways to windows, lighting, and ventilation, necessary to comply with health and safety codes and court orders.

The department has begun a massive redevelopment of Georgia State

Prison, including renovation of existing facilities and construction of

new facilities such as the housing / support complex known as Unit C.

Complete redevelopment will cost in excess of $45 million and will

greatly increase the department's ability to comply with life, safety,

health and fire codes as well as providing facilities in keeping with

current and expected standards such as square footage per resident.

Programs of this kind require extensive cooperation and coordination

with all divisions of the department in order to plan, design, construct

28

and programmatically implement efficient facilities.

An $8 million grant from the Economic Development Administration , including many of the housing prototypes and new visitors' and multipurpose facilities , is nearing the construction completion stage. Environmental Protection Agency grants have taken the form of upgrading sewage treatment plants at Georgia State Prison, Georgia Industrial Institution, Georgia Training and Development Center, Wayne Correctional Institution and Lowndes Correctional Institution. The facilities at G.S.P. and G.l.l. have entered construction with the remaining facilities currently under design .
Finally, the department has experienced an increasing involvement in legal requirements during all phases of construction , leasing, utility contracting, and the provision of inmate services. FDE has taken the lead in drafting standardized contracts, license agreements, utility agreements and other required legal documentation solidifying the department's legal position. An outline of the increasing role of the section is evident through the attached comparison of FY 1978 and 1980 section scope of work.

PLANNING AND BUDGET SECTION
In FY 80. the Planning and Budget offices were merged into one administrative unit reporting to the Deputy Commissioner, General Services and Support. This organization renects the DOR philosophy that planning and budgeting are component parts of the same management process. By this process. management assesses the agency situation, establishes direction, and develops plans for moving in that direction.
The Planning and Budget Section is responsible for (I) an annual system-level planning and budget development cycle, (2) special planning projects, and (3) routine management of the agency's financial resources . The annual planning/ budget cycle examines agency needs at both the system and program levels and results in the completion of an annual agency plan and a zero-based budget document. The FY 80 budget document identified agency needs exceeding $100 million.
A special planning project was completed in 1980. The plan entitled, The Female Offender in the 1980's: A Continuuum of Services. reviewed the history of the female offender in Georgia, examined the current programming system, and made recommendations regarding specific program components that could be implemented.

FISCAL MANAGEMENT
The Accounting Office maintains accountability for all DOR expenditures which encompassed an FY 80 budget of approximately $100 million in federal monies. There were a total of 77,126 documents entered into the system resulting in a total of 48,574 checks issued.
The Payroll Section maintains semi-monthly payrolls totalling in excess of 4,000 checks, with a total annual payroll in excess of $52 million.

PURCHASING AND PROPERTY CONTROL SECTION

This section coordinates the central procurement and property control

30

functions of the department. During the fiscal year 24,031 purchases

with a va lue of $ 1\J.287. 716.90 were processed by thi s section. This included a ll"start-up.. purchases for tw o ne w institutions.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT The goa l of this section is to provide DOR employees with the skills necessary to perform their jobs well and to develop their career pot e ntial. Much of the training continues to be done at the Staff Dcvdopmcnt Center, Athens. which provides classroom and dormitory faci liti es on th e University of Georgia campus for approximately 75 trainees at a time.
Training thi s year made significant progress both in the number of participants and the variety of programs. Significant gains were made in all categories except Basic Security Training. Firearms requa lification showed the largest increase, with more than eight times as many receiving this training as last yea r. Nearly three times as many people attended in-service workshops.
County Security Training nearly doubled this year. The number of Parole personnel who received Security and Firearms Training was nearly three times the number trained last year.
The types of training programs also increased. Team Building Programs were offered to Offender Rehabilitation Services administrative staff, transitional centers, institutional supervisors and center chief counselors. Probation adminstrative staff have also participated in this training. Departmental training for s upervisors is a new program. The Fire Safety Training and the Firearms Training packages were also innovative additions.
Accomplishments this year include: A substantial increase in the number of employees trained: 6,678 people were trained in FY 80 compared to only 2,618 in FY 79. Continued providing minimum training for correctional officer certification. Implemented a 40 hour in-service program for security personnel.
Obtained grant to develop Firearms Training package.
Received grant for Fire Safety Training, now in its first phase of training.
Developed minimum standards for training non-security employees.

Initiated departmental training for supervisory personnel.

Completed statewide training to implement new policies and

33

procedures in business management training.

OFFENDER ADMINISTRATION DIVISION

The Offender Administration Division is responsible for receiving offenders sentenced to be incarcerated, their movements within the system, and their return to the community. The division administers these functions through the utilization of diagnostic procedures and within the framework of the Earned Time System. It also directs the Youthful Offender Program. These functions are provided and administered through the following seven units:

Reception, Release, and Compact Unit

This unit receives from the courts all new sentences and makes initial disposition of them. It processed 8,537 new admissions to the system (including parole and conditional release violators) and discharged 7, 189 inmates from the system during FY 80. Its compact unit processed 3,407 detainer actions.

From late 1979 through June, 1980, this unit, in conjunction with other elements of the division, established procedures for implementation of the Habitual Offender Law passed by the 1980 General Assembly. Implementation became effective July I, 1980.

Inmate Classification and Assignment

This section assigned the 8,537 inmates admitted into the system to permanent institutions during FY 80. In addition , transfers from one institution to another, including placements in community centers, totalled 6,714. The unit processed 427 escapes and 403 recaptures. It reviewed all disciplinary reports submitted by the various institutions for accuracy and compliance with regulations. The departmental Special Leave Program (furlough program) is administered by this unit. During FY 80 there were four special leaves during which 2,747 inmates were granted the privilege of a 60-hour home visit. Of these, 7 failed to return, the equivalent of less than Y2 of one percent.

The unit's Interstate Transfer Officer travels throughout the United States returning escapees to our system. During FY 80, 41 different trips were made to the various states, totalling more than 62,000 miles.

Inmate Records

This unit initiates, maintains, and controls the official departmental

35

record for each inmate admitted into the system. It established 8,537 new files for new admissions during FY 80 and closed out 7, 189 files for inmates being discharged.

If a newly admitted inmate has been in the system previously, this unit now consolidates the new file with other convictions, which reflects the total criminal history and prison record of the inmate.

The unit has now established firm procedures for accountability and follow-up cases that go out to court to determine the conclusion of the case and to make proper disposition of departmental records.

Data Collection

This unit provides a secure and accurate back-up file of basic offender information by use of computer technology. During FY 80, as with the other units , the Data Collection Unit recorded 8,537 new admissions and 7, 189 departures. This unit also assists in recording disciplinary reports, time-outs, and other actions affecting individual inmates. In addition, this unit also processes data for the DOR Probation Services Division, adding new probationers to the system and processing changes of probation status.

Youthful Offender Program

The Youthful Offender Unit, a part of the Middle Georgia Correctional Complex, houses the majority of incarcerated youthful offenders. This year, 603 new youthful offender commitments were received and sent to that unit. During the same period of time, 523 youthful offenders were granted conditional releases, while 216 had their conditional releases revoked.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic services are provided throughout the system to aid criminal justice professionals in making well-informed decisions concerning the most appropriate course of action to take in treating and maintaining the offender. All evaluations include intellectual achievement and psychological testing in combination with interviews. Social history, work history, family background, and criminal history are all explored to develop overall descriptive information from which to make decisions concerning treatment of the offender.

36

During the past year the diagnostic coordinator has continued improv-

ing the diagnostic procedures at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center, Georgia lndustriallnstitute, Youthful Offender Unit, and the Women's Unit. More emphasis has, however, been placed on working with the community-based services staff in developing the Community Diagnostic Program so that it provides a service which fulfills the requirements of both the probation system and the institutional needs. A pilot effort in six judicial circuits was successfully implemented with pre-sentence diagnostic "package" being forwarded to, and incorporated into, the institutions' diagnostic studies. Pre-sentence reports, provided by the probation officers, are also now being forwarded to the Diagnostic Center for inclusion in the diagnostic "packages."
Earned Time System
A grant supporting the Earned Time System which was received in FY 79, was extended into FY 80 to further standardize the ystem. Additional refinements were made in the administrative and operationa l areas to maximize utilization of the program . The Earned Time System continues to attract interest from across the country as a model which optimizes self-rehabi litation as its primary tenet. This system provides for accountable and efficient use of resources , and provides a vehicle by which the department can standardize and upgrade operating services and programs.

GEORGIA CORRECTIONAL IND UST RIES ADMINISTRATION

Georgia Correctional lnd ustries Administration functions as an integral part of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation , although it exists legally as a separate entity. Operating industrial facilities at state correctional institutions, it provides jobs and employment opportunities for the pre-release training of offenders under the custody of DOR .

Each industry within an institution is simi lar to a private enterprise, allowing inmate employees the opportunity to develop good work habits and saleable job skills.

Coordination and management of the industries located at the various

correctional institutions are provided by a central office in Stone

Mountain. At each industry, appropriate plant managers, foremen and

other supervisory personnel work under the supervision of the respec-

37

tive warden and the central office.

Products manufactured by Correctional Industries are marketed only to government agencies at the state, county, and municipal levels. The Administration receives no direct appropriations and provides for its operating, capital outlay, and expansion needs through the sale of products and services.
All operations of the Administration are under the direction of the Georgia Correctional Industries Board. In accordance with legislation enacted by the 1980 General Assembly, the Department of Offender Rehabilitation Board assumed the responsibilities and policy functions of the Industries Board effective July I, 1980.
During FY 80, the Administration provided 560 daily employee positions and more than I,500 inmates participated in its overall training programs. Production and sales of non-license plate products and inmate employment in these areas reached record levels for the fifth straight year.
In FY 80, the Administration initiated a major expansion of its facilities. Additions to the existing metal products plant at Georgia State Prison, construction of a new textile products plant at the Georgia Women's Institution, and construction of an industrial complex to serve the new Metro Correctional Institution (print shop, upholste-
ry I refinishing, chemical plant, and warehouse will require over $1
million in capital and will result in the addition of over 125 new inmate job and training slots.

PROBATION SERVICES DIVISION

Probation is a sentence consisting of legal conditions and requirements imposed by the judiciary and , therefore , is served under court-ordered supervision, in the community. Special conditions as well as court fines and f or restitution to the victim may be imposed on the probationer. With the exception of mandatory prison sentences, such as murder and armed robbery, sentences may be probated .

There are two types of probated sentences: "Regular" probation and probation under the First Offender Act. If an individual has no prior record of a felony conviction, the court may sentence the individual to probation as a First Offender. The advantage of the First Offender sentence is that upon the successful completion of the sentence, the individual will have no prior record of conviction.

Currently, Fulton and DeKalb Counties continue to operate independent probation systems serving both the superior and state courts, while Bibb, Chatham, Muscogee, Richmond and Cobb Counties continue to provide independent probation services to the state court.

As of July I, 1980, the Probation Division had a total staff of 724: 552 field positions, 159 diversion center positions and 13 administrative positions.

There are approximately 41,200 offenders on probation. Probation supervisors carry an average caseload of approximately 130 probationers. At the current rate of growth , projections indicate there will be some 43 ,000 probationers by 1982.

There are two types of probated sentences within the 42judicial circuits:

(I) the 62 state courts handle primarily misdemeanant and child support cases, and (2) the superior courts are responsible for felony cases.

Effective July I , 1980, a Judicial Advisory Board was established through the General Assembly to work with the Board of Offender Rehabilitation in directing the Probation Division on all budget and personnel matters. The Probation Division provides:

Professional services to the criminal justice system for the protec-

tion of the community at large. Professional service is directed

45

toward affecting the social adjustment of some 40,000 probationers by defining a plan of action to meet the needs of probationers, and through the systematic implementation of such intervention strategies as surveillance, counseling, referral, and collection of
fines, restitution and I or court costs.
Psychological testing for the courts to assist judges in sentencing decisions.
The Presentence Assessment Program in Probation provides for the preparation of long-form verified presentence investigations and complete psychological evaluations. These two components are combined into a "package" of information that is made available to judges, the Sentence Review Panel, and the Parole Board , as an aid in determining appropriate sentences. The package also follows the offender to his assigned rehabilitative setting whether that be a correctional institution, diversion center, or probation office and provides the information needed to determine proper supervision and treatment strategies. There are currently nine judicial circuits with full presentence assessment teams who have the capability to prepare packages on all felony offenders appearing before the court. This information can be provided , however, to Superior Court Judges statewide on a selected basis by diagnostic and investigative personnel. In 1980, complete presentence assessment packages were prepared on 1006 offenders by the nine circuit teams. On a statewide basis, 2,986 psychological evaluations and 45,419 long and short form presentence investigations were completed.
In 1980 efforts were directed toward making presentence investigations available to correctional institutions on a statewide basis rather than from just the nine circuits with presentence assessment teams. As a result, 29 circuits have begun sending all available information to correctional institutions on inmates sentenced to prison. According to personnel at the two diagnostic institutions, a complete presentence assessment package reduces processing time by one-half.
Diversion Centers provide an alternative for offenders who need more than regular supervision, but Jess than long term incarceration.
46

Interstate compact services provide coordination of investigation requests, criminal histories and transfers of probation supervision between Georgia and the other 49 states. I ,843 Georgia cases und er supervision out-of-state were processed during FY 80. There were 1,226 out-of-state cases under supervision during the same period , bringing the Probation Compact caseload total to 3,069.
The Probation Division collects fin es, res tituti o n court costs and child support. During FY 80 a total of $15,097,261.00 was collected . This represented $1 .3 million in restitution, $4.4 million in fines f court costs, and $9.3 million in child support.
DIVERSION PROGRAM
Because of prison overcrowding crises and because of a trend to require the offender to accept responsiblity for his / her crime, in 1974 the Department of Offender Rehabilitation developed and implemented the restitution (diversion) concept. This concept called for the establishment of restitution (diversion) centers which provided an option to the courts in sentencing non-violent, property-type offenders, and which required the offenders to repay his / her victim and perform public service work.
This program offers 24-hour a day supervision to probationers at a community-based residential center. The department stresses that keeping offenders within the community increases the chances of reorienting them to social values. Continued residence in the community strengthens the offender's family ties , enhances vocational and educational opportunities, and provides treatment for social, psychological and emotional problems.
This is accomplished through utilization of the existing expertise of volunteers and professionals in the community, hence, reducing the need for additional staff to provide a duplication of services.
Criteria used to determine offender eligibility for the program are as follows:
Selection Criteria
To be admitted to a diversion center, it must be determined that the only alternative to the diversion center wa~prison . This can occur in two ways: post sentence diversion and direct sentencing.

WOMEN's DIVERSION CENTER EST. 1980

Offenders are intended to be primarily felons who would have served time in state operated institutions. However, some misdemeanants are accepted on a "case by case" basis, such as theft by taking or bad check cases.

Primary consideration will be given to offenders convicted of property crimes of a non-violent nature. Protection of the community against violent or sex-related crimes is a major emphasis in the diversion program.

Secondary consideration will be given to offenders convicted of other crimes.

No chronic alcoholic or hard drug abuser (i.e. opiates, cocaine, heroin) will be accepted . The major emphasis of diversion centers is on responsible behavior and a strong work ethic.

Diversion centers are the administrative responsibility of the Commissioner of Offender Rehabilitation, which limits their services to adults only ( 17 years or older).

Offender must be willing to enter into a contract with the center, establishing behavioral objectives to be achieved.

Once accepted in a diversio.n center, the offender enters an orientation period, which requires that he / she be tested to identify social , physical, or emotional problems. During this period the resident is familiarized with all the rules and regulations of the center.

Within the first seven days, residents are expected to locat e full time employment in the community with assistance from a center counselor and the State Labor Department.

Unlike traditional incarceration, a resident of a diversion center is held financially responsible for his offense.

All residents are charged room and board , pay taxes , pay for their own personal items, financially assist their families, pay restitution to victims and fines to the court. (See Earnings and Disbursement Report for totals.)

In addition to full time employment, residents are involved in various

self-help activities at the center. Programs offered include individual

and group counseling, employment skills, consumer education, GED

48

and Adult Basic Education, recreation and religious activities.

THE PROBATION DIVISION IN THE 80'S
The Probation Division is currently concentrating on the refinement of its service delivery system to offenders. This will be accomplished by paper work , adding staff, and training programs. Specific projects which are now in the planning or development stages are:
The Individual Needs System will maintain accountability necessary to assure quality services to the offender and court.
Diversion Center Programs are being refined so that all diversion centers will have accessible, specific and uniform programs to include family and individual counseling, remedial education, employment, psychological testing, etc.
The Computer Tracking System is being redesigned through a grant to an outside consultant so that the typical probationer can be better identified . Additionally, the system will be designed to enable the tracking of an offender throughout the criminal justice system.
The relocation of diversion centers which do not meet the minimal physical standards by funds available through the Appropriations Act.
The presentence investigation program's expansion will be a primary effort next year with the goal of providing presentence investigations on all felony offenders.
The women's programs are being expanded through the Women's Diversion Center in Atlanta, and by locating a women's component at the already existing male centers in Rome and Albany.
The training standards of 40 hours per employee per year were realized through the addition of a training officer July I, 1980, and funds through the Appropriations Act to support the necessary training for the individual enrichment of staff.
The Division will continue working toward guidelines to meet accreditation standards.

The Division will continue plans to build a diversion center in Augusta with funds provided by the Appropriations Act, and will possibly establish new centers in Savannah and Columbus.

TRANSITIONAL SERVICES

The Transitional Services Section operates seven community based transitional centers. These are designated to house a total of 497 residents who are serving the last 4 to 12 months of their incarceration. During FY 80, transitional centers served a total of I,379 residents. Due to maintenance collections (room and board fees charged to employed residents), combined with tax collections from employed residents, Transitional Services was able to contribute over $420,000.00 to the state treas ury in FY 80.

The Program and Operations Policy Manual was completed this year, standardizing procedures in all areas of center operations such as fiscal management, counseling service , security procedures, academic and vocational services and medical services. The quality of center program will no doubt be raised through compliance with the standards set in the manual.

In October, 1979, the Macon Women's Transitional Center opened . It is now fully operational, with a capacity to house 54 women whose homes are in middle and south Georgia . This center served 98 women during FY 80, and is another major step in alleviating the crowded conditions at the Women's Unit.

Due to co nstruction of the MARTA rapid rail system in Atlanta, Columbia House for female offenders had to relocate. A major effort was undertaken by many personnel within the department to find a suitable location. Citizen concern caused major difficulties in selecting sites in many neighborhoods. The Mark Inn Motel facility (l-20 and Moreland) was finally located and rented. Much renovation was performed and still continues to bring it to acceptable standards . The resident population, although presently low while renovations continue , will increase to 72 when the repairs are completed. This facility has been renamed the Atlanta Women's Transitional Center.

A most encouraging development is the decision that future transitional

centers will be constructed rather than leased, meaning a substantial

cost savings to the tate , as well as alleviating most of the problems

encountered by leasing facilities. Having the state build these centers will provide a greater opportunity to achieve the mission of providing

community residential services to offenders prior to their discharge, so

that they may reenter the community as productive citizens.

CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES DIVISION

The Correctional Facilities Divisio n is composed of four geographic locations with district directors heading the field offices. The division's adminstrative office was moved from Dublin to 800 Peachtree Street, Atlanta , Georgia 30365 effective October, 1980.

The division has the responsibilities for the custody and treatment of more than 12,300 state inmates in 19 state and 35 county correctional institutions.

Through district offices, eva luations are made of correctional facilities housing state inmates. The evaluation reports, co nsisti ng of comprehensi ve operational and programm atic urveys, are di stri buted to members of the House Penal Affair Sub-Committee and the Senate Offender Rehabilitation Committee. T he Department of Human Resources carries out health and sanitation inspections and the Department of Agriculture inspects farm animals at the institutions.

DOR operates 19 state correctional institutions with a replacement value of more than $200 million. Institutional populations range from as few as 120 up to as many as 2 200.

Construction projects which were und erway or completed in FY 80 are itemized in the Engineeri ng/ Facilities ection of this report.

Diagnostic and Classification- With the exception of most misdemeanants the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center (G D&CC) is the principle intake and processing unit fo r all male offenders, including offenders se ntenced under the Youthful Offender Act. (Inmates under death se ntences are classified as "permanent" assignment to the GD&CC; most misdemea nants are as ig ned from the jail to a tate or county co rrectional institut ion.) The Women's Unit, Middle Georgia Correctional Complex, provides diagno ti c se rvices for female offe nders.

Once an offender is received at the G D&CC, he is fingerprinted , photographed, supplied with inmate clothing and given standard hygienic care. After processing, he is assigned to a cell according to his age, crime and previous record.

A physical examination is then given to the inmate by the medical staff,

which includes examination by a staff dentist. Any medical disorders

are treated immediately or referred to an adequate treatment center in

63

the state.

The next step in processing is an orientation program designed to explain the rules and regulations of the State Board of Offender Rehabilitation, as well as the policies and procedures of that particular institution.

Following orientation, each offender meets with the diagnostic counselor for the purpose of obtaining a complete social history in order to identify any possible extreme behavioral problems such as suicidal tendencies or mental disorders. Referrals can be made to the suicide prevention team or to institutional physicians who may then refer the inmate for psychiatric evaluation.

Sociological testing is the next step. It consists of four separate testing instruments used to evaluate the inmate's present academic standing and personality factors. The testing instruments used in this evaluation are the Culture Fair IQ Test, Wide Range Achievement Test, 16 Personality Factor Tests and the Clinical Analysis Questionnaire. These test results will indicate vocational and educational needs , counseling needs, security requirements , and performance level within specified job areas. Also, the results indicate critical problems such as suicide potential, escape risk , and emotional proble ms .

With the exception of those inmates to be assigned to Georgia Industrial Institute, the Department of Labor then administers the General Aptitude Test Battery to determine an individual's educational and vocational potential. Upon completion of the testing program, each offender is interviewed by a counselor from the Department of Labor to further define and evaluate his performance potential in the available vocational and educational programs offered by the various correctional institutions. The evaluations and recommendations of the labor counselor are mad e a part of the diagnostic summary which is placed in each offender's permanent record. {The Department of Labor provides a separate testing at G.l.l.).

Other information is then gathered from outside sources to help the

correctional counselor during the final interview- the FBI report, fel-

ony records, and family background material are essential tools in

assisting the counselor in making recommendations for the inmate

during his incarceration. Before finalizing his report, the correctional

counselor holds personal interviews with the inmate for the purpose of

detecting behavioral problems and discussing and evaluating educa-

64

tional goals. Upon completion of these interviews, the correctional

counselor submits a report which includes a brief criminal history, a social history, drug or alcohol problem, behavioral problem and the interviewer's impression of the inmate.
Once the entire portfolio of information on the inmate is compiled , he is ready to be classified by a committee composed of the diagnostic counseling department and the labor counseling department. Each case is then sent to the assignment officer who assigns the inmate to the correctional institution that best meets his needs.
A li sting of fa cilities improveme nt s in sta te a nd co unt y co rrectiona l instituti o ns during FY 80 is avai la ble through the Public Info rma ti o n Office.

FUNCTIONS

Custody and security - The Department employs some I,805 security staff whose responsibilities include the prevention of escapes, damages to property and injuries. Training plays an important role in helping the correctional officer to be effective in his job. Mandatory training is a requirement of all security staff. During the past year, the Staff Development Office provided basic security training to 445 employees at the Staff Development Center, Athens , to 159 employees at the various state institutions and to 424 employees at county correctional institutions. In addition, I,869 employees were recertified through the Firearms Training Program.

Generally, the state correctional institutions are classified as medium

security. Three facilities have sections or cell blocks that are termed as

maximum security-Georgia State Prison, Georgia Diagnostic and Clas-

sification Center, and Georgia Industrial Institute. There is one institu-

tion, Youthful Offender Unit, Hardwick, Georgia, which houses

offenders under the Youthful Offender Act. This insitution, a part of the

Middle Georgia Correctional complex, houses offenders who are 17

through 24 years of age and are serving indeterminate sentences of up to

six years. The Y.O. Unit houses some 800 youthful offenders. Georgia

Industrial Institute handles young offenders who are for the most part

19 years of age and under. The Washington Building (men's unit) at

Middle Georgia Correctional Complex, Hardwick, is designed for aged

and infirm offenders. Female offenders sentenced to the custody of the

Department of Offender Rehabilitation are assigned to the

Women's Unit of the Middle Georgia Correctional Complex, Hardwick.

65

REHABILITATION
To enable offenders to better themselves and to prepare for return to society, the state correctional institutions provide various types of rehabilitation programs with work being a very important ingredient. The basic rehabilitation programs are as follows:
Vocational Training: Entry level skill is provided to many inmates in order to help them develop a means of livelihood other than crime. Vocational training courses include masonry, drafting, automobile mechanics, tire recapping, building trades, woodwork, heating and air conditioning, welding, printing, landscaping, plumbing, auto body and fender repair, electronics, radio and television repair, service station management, food service, building maintenance, barbering, cosmetology, heavy equipment operation, medical technology, upholstery, business education, and solar technology.
Educational Programs: The average inmate functions at the fifth grade level. Inmates are encouraged to upgrade their educational level through literacy remedial classes, basic education classes, G ED preparation, college courses, consumer education and educational release. Georgia Industrial Institute, Alto, operates an accredited academic high school. College programs are offered at Georgia State Prison, Montgomery Correctional Institution, Women's Unit, Middle Georgia Correctional Complex, Wayne Correctional Institution, Ware Correctional Institution, Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center, Central Correctional Institution, Rutledge Correctional! nstitution, Stone Mountain Correctional Institution and Lee Correctional Institution .
Counseling: Professional counselors provide individual and group counseling services to inmates in such areas as family and personal problems. Counselors also provide a vital information link between the inmate and the opportunities open to him through institutional programs. Some of the specific programs operated by the counseling staff are Alcoholics Anonymous, drug therapy, Barons of Goodwill, Guides to Better Living, Autogenesis, Transactional Anal y is and "Operation Get Smart."
Religious Services: Institutional chaplains provide religious services representing all faiths to inmates. Also, chaplains provide religious counseling and guidance to inmates, family members and employees. 66

Recreation: Recrea tiona l a ctiviti es provid e good ph ys ica l exerci se as well as help to relieve tensions and frustrations . All institutions provide various forms of recreation, which includes sports, table games, arts and crafts, movies and cultural events.
Farm and Dairy Operation: Institutional farm and dairy operations produce more than half the food used in state institutions and community centers . During FY 80, food produced by farm services was valued at $4.8 million.
Correctional Industries: More than 500 inmates are assigned to jobs established through Correctional Industries and work in such areas as wood products, tire recapping, screen shop, printing, chemical plant, mattress upholstery, metal products, concrete plant, garment factory , tag plant and warehouse.
Inmate Construction Program: Some 250 inmates work in this program. During FY 80 inmates renovated buildings at the Albany Diversion Center, the abattoir and farrowing barn at Georgia State Prison, and completed some interior construction at GSP. In addition, the inmates completed renovation at Stone Mountain C. I. and installed a new fire alarm system at the facility.
