BOARD OF OFFENDER REHABIL_ITATION
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. The Board establishes the policies governing the areas of Probation and Corrections. The Board of Offender Rehabilitation normally meets the second Tuesday of each month .
THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY, BOARD OF OFFENDER REHABILITATION
The Executive Secretary for the Board of Offender Rehabilitation is organizationally located within the Commissioner's administrative office and is responsible to both the Commissioner and the Board of Offender Rehabilitation. This position is one of seven departmental administrators who report directly to the Commissioner and , in aggregate, form the nucleus of the agency's management and policy team. The position of Executive Secretary was created in September, 1980, with the expressed purpose of serving as a daily supportive link between the nine citizen member constitutional Board and the Department.
The Board takes an active role and participates heavily in current and future issues affecting Georgia's adult corrections, and is the ultimate approving authority for Department rules, regulations and policies. Involvement has increased markedly with the establishment of five standing Board committees. These committees are Personnel and Community Affairs, Fiscal Operations and Administration, Institutional Operations and Transitional Centers, Diversion Programs and Probation, and Correctional Industries. Additionally, the Board's responsibility extends to incorporate the simultaneous role of the Board for the Georgia Correctional Industries Administration.
The office of the Executive Secretary provides all administrative and logistical support for the Board and further serves as the primary liaison between the Board and the Department.

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 will enable them to become self-sufficient and law-abiding citizens.
The Commissioner 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 four major divisions: Division of Administration, Division of Adult Facilities and Programs, Division of Probation, and Division of General Services and Support. These divisions are directed by deputy commissioners and are headquartered in Atlanta.
DOR employs 4,174 people-281 central office and training personnel and 3,893 field personnel. The field personnel consists of 1,967 security staff, 510 probation officers and field staff, 231 probation administrative and clerical staff, 244 institutional and community correctional counselors, 18 chaplains, 207 vocational and academic instructors, 140 health personnel, 148 food service employees, 39 recreational and physical education instructors, 121 farm and maintenance employees, 20 wardens/ superintendents, 19 community center directors and 229 institutional administrative personnel.
There are 12,526 inmates and 43,229 probationers under DOR's jurisdiction. Some 9,528 inmates are housed in the 20 state correctional institutions, 2,477 inmates are assigned to the 32 county institutions, and 438 inmates are housed in the seven transitional centers. In addition, DOR operates 12 diversion centers in which some 463 probationers are housed. Since July 1, 1982, DOR has paid to the 32 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$4,573,880.00 was paid during FY 81 to county correctional institutions for_housing state inmates. In addition, DORis required to pay $5.00 per day for inmates who remain in county jails more than 30 days after the Department receives the sentence. The total paid during FY 81 was $306,340.00.
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, re-conviction of a felony, and return to the Georgia correctional system. "Recidivism" is not a specific rate or

:neasure, but an area of inquiry.
DOR statistics indicate II % of all offenders released from a Georgia correctional institution will return within one year, that 22% of all offenders released from a Georgia correctional institution will return within three years and that about 30% will return at some point in their lifetime.
Return to prison rates are influenced by a number of factors: young offenders return much faster than older offenders; urban offenders faster than rural; males faster than females ; blacks faster than whites; and maxouts faster than offenders selected for relase by the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
The revocation rate for probationers during FY 81 was 7%. The cost of confinement per inmate per year is $7 ,289.05, while probation supervision costs approximately $229.99 per probationer per year.
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 Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia, 30365.

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER
The Office of the Commissioner is made up of seven units: Public Affairs Office, Internal Affairs, Office of Research and Evaluation, Courts Coordinator, Inspector General, Medical Services, and Operations.
PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE
Established in 1969, the Public Affairs Office acts as a liaison with news media and the general public, as well as keeping DOR staff members and the general public informed about the operations of the Department. It is the responsibility of this office to create positive public reaction, stimulate community interest in DOR programs, and to coordinate the many and varied media requests related to DOR 's institutions.
During the year, the Public Affairs Office issued approximately 8,491 verbal and 85 written press releases, responded to more than 3,244 news

media inquiries, fulfilled approximately 210 staff/ inmate speaking engagements, arranged radio and television talk shows for staff members a nd replied to some 4,000 requests for general information. This office also arranges major press conferences for local news media throughout the state, as well as press conferences at the administrative level in central office.
This office sponsors and coordinates the Employee of the Year Awards Program, one of the Department's major employee incentive program . The program involves ten months of processing all nominations, meetings with the Review Committee members, tabulating votes and advising nominees, coordinating a photography session, planning banquet and program , and coordinating ticket sales. The Awards Selection Committee is made up of five distinguished Georgians: First Lady Mary Beth Busbee; Senator Joseph Kennedy, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Offender Rehabilitation; Representative Forest Hays, Jr. , Chairman of the Hou e Penal Affairs Sub-Committee; Mrs. Bettye Hutchings, Chairman of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council; and Mr. John Jeffre ys, Institute of Government, University of Georgia .

The Public Affairs Office also publishes brochures about departmental programs, the DOR Annual Report, the employee newsletter, a nd hi torical documents related to corrections in Georgia.

The DOR Annual Report, which the Department is required by Jaw to publish, represents a six-month continuing effort for the Public Affa irs staff. Information received requires editing, typing, many proofings, design for layout and photographs, and much planning with the typesetter and printer. Newsbriefs, the Department's employee newsletter, require input from all institutions, writing copy, editing, securing photographs, layout design, and proofing. The Public Affairs staff has been working with the Georgia Department of Archives in preparing two historical document related to the history of Corrections in Georgia.

Because of the criminal justice programs currently offered in many high schools and colleges, the number of inquiries from students for personal interviews, classroom lectures, and information packets has increa ed dramatically. Additionally, the figures contained in this report represent a considerable increase over 1980 in the number of media contacts. This is due primarily to such issues as prison overcrowding, jail backlogs and the death penalty.

The Public Affairs Office also coordinates the Get Smart Program

throughout the state, conducts many information surveys, and arranges

departmental special events. It coordinated the dedication ceremony of two

new facilities- the Metro Correctional Institution, Atlanta, and Coastal Correctional Institution, Savannah.
The Public Affairs Office provides state-wide news information on the mass inmate furloughs held four times during the year, coordinates tours of state correctional institutions , arranges and oversees media interviews with corrections personnel and inmates, keeps photo files updated , and during FY 81 provided a media workshop for the Probation Division.
The Director of the Public Affairs Office is directly responsible for coordinating the American Correctional Association (ACA) Film Festival during the Annual Congress, assisting in the planning for the ACA Public Information Committee. and se rving as a regional coordinator for the ACA Program Committee. Also. the Public Affairs Office conduct s the annual Photo Contest for the Georgia Probation and Parole Associa tion, works with the Georgia Prison Wardens' Association, and serves as member of the Executive Board with Special Audiences Inc. to provide assistance in planning activities for priso n programs as well as other type programs for disad va ntaged persons.
Additionally , the Public Affairs Office is available at all time s to respond in crisis related situations, providing information as well as summary statements for the news media .
The Public Affairs Office frequently researches special subject related to the criminal justice system for both Board members and central office staff in order to provide adequate material for public speeches and special projects.
The Public Affairs Office also supervises interns placed through either the Gove rnor's Intern Program or colleges/ universities who assist the staff with research. press releases and with a large vo lume of informational requests. A number of field trips to institutions in DOR 's system . increases intern knowledge of the department's program s and the problems involved in the criminal justice system.
COURTS COORDINATOR UNIT
The primary mission of the Courts Coordinator Unit is to supervise a nd coordinate on a statewid e ba sis ~ he identification and ma rshalling of information and resources needed -py the State Attorney General's Office for the effective and proper represe ntation of the Department's interests in di verse areas of the law. As such. this Unit acts as the Department's primary point of contact for the Attorney General. This procedure helps to ensure that any problems which often occur during the conduct of litiga tion are resolved in an expeditious manner. In essence, the Unit's major goal is to do

whatever is necessary to ensure that DOR's legal interests are effectively and quickly represented and are done so in a fiscally sound manner.
A secondary, yet important mission of the Unit is to coordinate the development by agency staff of plans, schedules, budget requests, and policies to implement court-ordered decrees and settlement agreements, and to advise the Commissioner of any problems which need to be resolved in order to meet the court requirements. The product of this effort could range from short-term, narrow issue-area checklists to long-term, comprehensive plans involving major program or facility development projects.
Finally, the Unit is responsible for providing the Commissioner with status reports on cases pending against DOR, as well as any pending elsewhere in the nation which would be of interest to him.
HEALTH SERVICES
1981 was a significant year for the management and delivery of health care to Georgia's inmate population. Along with the continuing effort to upgrade inmate health care, two new institutions were opened during the year, adding important resources for the delivery of quality health care. Within existing facilities , a significant change of direction occurred in such places as Georgia State Prison, where contract medical services were initiated during the year. Other accomplishments during FY 81 include the development ofthe program for the Augusta Medical Unit, the addition of psychiatric services at selected institutions, and the acquisition of a medical consultant for Central Office.
With the opening of Metro Correctional Institution, Atlanta, in December, 1980, health care for the inmate population took a significant step forward . The Health Services Section of this facility, with a medical staff of II and with an opening equipment package totaling $125 ,000, began providing critically needed services within the prison system. The opening of Metro C.I. was also important in terms of the implementation of mental health services to offenders. A 120-bed mental health unit opened, and for the first time provided a real alternative for those inmates requiring treatment for mental disabilities.
In May, 1981, Coastal C. I., Savannah, opened with sufficient staffing and equipment to provide quality primary health care to the inmates assigned to that institution. Along with other institutions located in urban areas, Coastal C.l. became an important referral point for inmates requiring special medical care.
Also, a major change of direction for inmate health care was initiated in FY

81 at Georgia State Pnson . In an ellort to address longstanding problems associated with the delivery of health care at that facility, contract medical services were implemented. After a sub tantial amount of precontract planning and negotiation. Spectrum Emergency Care Inc ., St. Louis, Misso uri , was elected to provide 17 professional medical posit ions at Georgia State Pri so n. and to undertake the admini tration and management of the GSP medical program . With these steps, the Department began the difficult task of changing a major health care delivery system and upgrading inmate health care to a level which would meet court orders while complying with accepted professional standard of health care.
As a part of the mental health su bsyste m deve loped and implemented in FY 81, the Health Services Section developed a program of psychiatric services at designa(ed institutions around the sta te. The focal point of these service was the mental health unit associated with Metro C.I. For those inmate who could function with le s intensive care, psychiatric services were implemented at other se lect institutions. These services were important in that for the first time the needs of the mentall y ill offender were addressed as part of an organized plan.
To strengthen the administration of inmate health care within the system, the Department made a significant step forward with the addition of a medical consultant to Central Office. This posi tion , beginning in a parttime capacity, was also important in that for the first time clinical consultation was immediately available to the decision-making process in the management of inmate health care at the Central Office level. In establishing the role, it was noted as being the first step in the ultimate goal of appointing a medical director for the prison system.
Beyond the events and activities noted above, the continuing planning for the opening of the Augusta Correctional and Medical In stitution scheduled for 1982, occupied much of the year. This 135-bed medical facility, colocated with a 400-bed correctional unit, will have a direct impact on both the level and quality of health care available within the Georgia Correctional System.
The results of activities during FY 81 were very positive in terms of both immediate and long range goals. With new facilities becoming available and with the new directions taken in existing facilities, changes have been initiated which should insure continued improvement in correctional health care for years to come.
INTERNAL AFFAIRS
This division is responsible for the detection of violations of Georgia laws

within the prison system. for violations of the departmental rule and regulations and for trend analysis of problem area s within the state correctional system. The Internal Affairs Division consi sts of eight person s wh o fulfill responsibilities in areas of investigations, coordination of fugiti ve apprehension and data analysis.
During FY 81, 204 investigations were assigned and completed . They included such incidents as homicides, group disturbances and disruptions. aggravated assaults, sexual offense , thefts of state propert y. arson and employee malfeasance.
More than 100 requests for data from variou s federal, state and local law enforcement agencies were received and completed by the Data Analysis section .
This division provided information on DOR fugitive s to other law enforcement agencies and served as a liai son unit to the Georgia Burea u of Investigation's Metro Fugitive Squad . Information relating to potential destinations of the fugitives was disseminated . Through combined efforts of local and state law enforcement officials inside and outside the state , more than 220 DOR fugitives were apprehended .
During the fiscal year, staff members have attended various eminars and training sessions in an effort to improve the efficiency of the di visions and to maintain a professional level of expertise.
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 laws, 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 flagrant abuses immediately; and to report appropriately to the Commissioner upon conclusion of an inspection.
During FY 81 , 61 state facilities were inspected , including 13 state in~titu tions, 34 county institutions, and 14 community centers. In addition,

Inspector General is responsible for seeing that institutions meet department rules and regulations.
7

several follow-up visits were accomplished to review corrective actions taken, or to offer assistance in resource identification and acquisition.
During the course of these inspections and follow-up visits the Inspector General traveled 6,605 miles throughout the State. Following each inspection, a formal written report was produced and forwarded to the Commissioner.

OPERATIONS
This office, established in 1974, assures the implementation oflegal, policy, and administrative requirements in DOR.
Some of the functions handled by this office are: (I) determining the potential impact of bills/ resolutions, citizen claims, laws and Attorney General's Opinions on the operations of DOR; (2) monitoring the implementation of statutory requirements, administrative requirements, and policy requirements; (3) working with DOR managers in translating legislation into Rules of the Board or practices and procedures for DOR, which are then published for use by staff; (4) serving as a liaison on Rules and Regulations with the Attorney General's office, the Office of Legislative Counsel, and the Secretary of State; (5) interpreting policies, rules and practices for DOR staff and; (6) coordinating DOR's participation in the Georgia Natural Disaster and Nuclear Emergency Operations Plans.
During FY 81 this office assessed the potential impact of 2,315 bills/ resolutions and 12 citizen claims against DOR; monitored the implementation status of 96 state laws and II federal bills/laws; published six new rules, seven new Management Practices & Procedures, and seven Commissioner's Management Memoranda; and developed a process and time line chart for the implementation of selected court decisions. In addition, the office began work on five new potential Board policies, submitted a draft set of by-laws for the Board and coordinated a management review of the proposed penal code, Title 42, for Georgia.

RESEARCH AND EVALUATION

The Office of Research and Evaluation is the agency's internal information

and monitoring service. Its functions include computer systems develop-

ment and statistics, and intra-agency evaluations. Evaluations of facilities

and programs are conducted by on-site visits, interviews, analysis and

computerized data and other indicators of performance and outcome in

relation to objectives. During FY 81, II major program evaluations were

completed, including six state funded and five grant related projects.

8

Subjects of these evaluations included a series of diversion centers, a

program for drug and alcohol abuse offenders. a community diagnostics program, a career ladder program, and the Earned Time System.

New procedures were adopted to follow through with review and implementation of recommendations. These procedures place new emphasis on the role of the section in a mutual effort to improve effectiveness of programs through development of workable recommendations and assistance with functionally useful information. Reception of this change to date has been enthusiastic.

This office conducts final evaluations of all grant funded projects and assists in budget preparation and monitoring.
One of the two main functions of the Systems and Statistics Section is to guide and coordinate the developent of DOR 's computerized information systems, working in cooperation with DOR managers, consultants, and the Georgia Department of Administrative Services (DOAS).

Major developments during FY 81 included the expansion of the Education Data Base, creation of a master plan for an enhanced probation data base, and a broad increase in the use of terminals in institutions for updating the Food Service Inventory System.

The second function of Systems and Statistics is to produce computer reports, including population projections, recidivism reports, and special reports for a wide variety of users.

During FY 81, 219 special reports were produced for every division within

DOR, as well as for the Athens and Atlanta police departments, CETA

ADULT FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS
In September, 1980, a major adjustment was made in the departmental organization; an adjustment that had been seen as needed for several months. These changes, which brought together the operational, programmatic, and administrative functions of handling inmates, resulted in the establishment of the Adult Facilities and Programs Division (A.F.A.P.) This division performs the functions of the former Institutional Operations Division, Program Development, and Offender Administration Division. Having these three functions in the Division significantly improved the process of decision making. Adult Facilities and Programs is organized into five major units: Deputy Commissioner's Office, State Institutions Supervision, County Institutions Supervision, Program Development Supervision, Transitional Center Supervision, and Offender Administration Supervision. Organization and operation of each of these units follows.
DEPUTY COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE
AFAP operations are directed and supervised by this office. It is composed of the Deputy Commissioner, Assistant Deputy Commissioner for Operations, Assistant Deputy Commissioner for Administration, and two secretaries to support these three positions. There are two other units attached to this office fo r specialized support.
The Mobile Inmate Construction Crew, composed of three staff members and numerous skilled labor inmates, assists this Department and other state agencies in construction and building renovations throughout the state. In addition to many minor projects during the past year, this crew has completed the following projects:

Renovations at Stone Mountain C. I.
Renovations in Atlanta office and transitional centers
Renovations at other departmental facilities Remode led court house of Sa ndersville Converted wa rehouse to living area for North Georgia Re-roofed and painted Department of Family

Inmate complaints, grievances, and much inmate correspondence is handled by the Inmate Affairs Unit, which is staffed by the supervisor, a field investigator, an administrative clerk, and a secretary. This unit became fully operational during reorganization; and during the last six months of FY 81 , response was made to 297 grievances, 270 disciplinary appeals, 225 life endangerment appeals, 2,485 general correspondence, and 126 medical complaints. The total number of miles trave led by the Inmate Affairs Section in regard to the above investigations was approximately 45 ,000 miles from January I, 1981 , through June I, 1981.

OFFENDER ADMINISTRATION
Offender Administration is responsible for receiving offenders sentenced to be incarcerated, their movements within the system, and their return to the community. The division administers the se functions through utilization of classification 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 six units:

RECEPTION, RELEASE AND COMPACTS
This unit receives all new sentences from the courts and makes initial disposition of them . It processed 10,025 newly sentenced inmates into the system (including parole and conditional violators) and discharged 8,942 inmates from the system during FY 81. The compact unit processed 3,320 detainer actions.
Of the above 8,942 releases, the State Board of Pardons and Paroles commuted 2,073 special cases by six months in order to alleviate overcrowded institutions and jails. Processi ng and administration of these specal releases was handled entirely by Reception and Release.
During the year, procedures for implementation of the county jail subsidy law were developed and put into practice. For year ending June 30. 1981 . a total of$296,315 .00 was paid to county jails for support of sentenced-felony inmates.

INMATE CLASSIFICATION AND ASSIGNMENT

This section assigned 7,468 inmates initially into the system to permanent

institutions. In addition, transfers from one institution to another, includ-

ing placement in community centers, totalled 8.956. In FY 81, a new mental

health plan was implemented by the Department. This required the selec-

tion and transfer of 380 inmates identified as suffering from various levels

of mental illness. The unit processed 420 escapes and 366 recaptures. It

reviewed II ,083 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. In FY 8 1 there were four mass special leaves during which 2,807 inmates were granted the privilege of a 60-hour home visit. Of these, 14 failed to return, the equivalent of less than 1/ 2 of one percent. The unit's Transfer Officer travels throughout the United States, returning escapees to our system. During FY 81, 54 different trips were made to 21 states, totaling more than 114,641 miles.
INMATE RECORDS
This unit initiates, maintains, and controls the official departmental record for each inmate admitted into the system. It established 8,560 new files and closed out 8,910 files during FY 81.
In an effort to insure fingerprint quality control, this unit assumed responsibility for the Georgia Crime Information Center by returning unclassifiable fingerprints directly to the submitting institution. The return of correct fingerprints is then insured by the Records staff.
DATA COLLECTION
This unit provides a secure and accurate back-up file of basic offender information by use of computer technology. During FY 81, the Data Collection Unit recorded 9,960 admissions and 9, 140 departures. This unit also assists in recording within the Inmate Data Base 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 in probation status.
YOUTHFUL OFFENDER PROGRAM
The Youthful Offender Unit, a part of the Middle Georgia Correctional Complex, houses the majority of those offenders sentenced under the Youthful Offender Act. This year, 704 new youthful offender commitments were received and sent to that unit. During the same period of time, 616 youthful offenders were granted conditional releases, while 258 had their conditional releases revoked .
DIAGNOSTICS
During FY 81, the Board of Offender Rehabilitation approved a policy that will permit the forwarding of all presentence investigations to the correctional system to assist officials in determining the most suitable placement

for inmates based on the verified information.
Because of overcrowding in the county jails and the resulting demand on the intake system, offenders with less than a three-year sentence have received an abbreviated diagnostic process. This abbreviated process has resulted in cases completed in less than average time, allowing a more rapid turnover at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center.
Plans have been completed to place a secondary diagnostic capability at Georgia Industrial Institute, the Youthful Offender Unit, and at the Coastal Correctional Institution to alleviate the pressure on the Diagnostic Center and to provide more extensive diagnostics on all offenders with more than one year to serve.
During this year vocational evaluators at the Youthful Offender Unit have assisted in the initial diagnostic process by performing a portion of the process at their facility in order to speed movement at the Diagnostic Center.

CHAPLAINCY SERVICES

The chaplaincy program is responsible for the religious needs of the inmates. The religious preference of inmates can be divided into three basic groups: Protestant, Catholic, and Islamic. Any other special religious groups provide individual counseling and pastoral care at the request of the inmate.

The chaplaincy services are rendered by 17 clinical chaplains, II contract chaplains working 8 hours weekly and 4 full-time volunteer chaplains.

The percent of inmate population involved in services is as follows:

Worship

38%

Religious Education

55%

Pastoral Counseling

48 %

Fourteen state institutions, six county institutions, and two transtitional centers provide Islamic services; two of the Imams will be employed on a contract basis next year with other Imams offering free services.

Plans were developed for new institutions - Metro C.I., Coastal C.I. , Dodge C.I., and Augusta Correctional and Medical Institution.

Quarterly training programs were conducted with a special workshop for

counselors and chaplains in "Marriage Enrichment." A workshop for

chaplains is planned for July, 1981, entitled "New Dimensions In

Worship."

13

Several volunteers were enlisted and trained for regular visitors of inmates under death sentence. The volunteers were from churches in the Atlanta area.
Ongoing prison ministry training programs have been set up at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center and Metro C. I. The program consists of basic principles of psychology and supervision as they apply their counseling techniques.
The Director of Chaplaincy Services presented a paper on "Prison Evangelism" to the Urban Evangelism Conference in St. Louis, Missouri. This paper is to be included in a Broadman Press book on Urban Evangelism.
The Chaplaincy Services coordinates with Prison Ministry groups who are interested in working with offenders. Churches and denominations are sponsoring a new position to work with inmates at Middle Georgia Correctional Complex and their families. A follow-up program will be provided to inmates upon release.
A College level program leading to a diploma in Christian Ministry is provided by the Georgia Baptist Education Extension Department. Currently, the program is offered at Georgia State Prison, Central C.l., Rutledge C.l., Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center, Middle Georgia Correctional Complex-Women's Unit, Walker C. I., and Wayne C.l. The program will begin at Metro C.l., and the Middle Georgia Correctional Complex-Men's Unit in 1982.

EARNED TIME SYSTEM

The Earned Time System (ETS) Office was one of the sections affected in this year's departmental reorganization. The Earned Time System was relocated from Inmate Administration to the Program Development Section, as it relates to all program areas. In order to streamline ETS and make it more effective in the field, additional emphasis was placed on both accountability and program integration.

Work this year has centered on field audits, file inspections and ETS program reviews. Field staff make regular on-site visits to provide technical assistance and training expertise. Systems issues and special problems are also resolved during these visits.

Another major impact on ETS was the enactment of the Habitual Offender

Law on April 10, 1980. In essence, this provided for a new ETS at an

earning rate for habitual offenders (three or more felony incarcerations) of

one day off for every three days,of satisfactory performance and good

14

behavior. Habitual offenders have to serve 75% of their sentences and can

earn only 25% off.
Major accomplishments of FY 81:
I. Drafting of the habitual offender legislation for ETS, which reestablished this classification. (The original habitual offender classification had to be eliminated in 1978 due to legal/ equity problems.)
2. Drafting of an agreement with the State Board of Pardons and Paroles which addresses the links between the Parole Board and the Earned Time System. This agreement was approved by the Governor.
3. Further standardization of field operations as related to ETS.
4. Increased emphasis on program integration with ETS which resulted in updated Performance Activity Desc riptions for educational programs and other areas, as well as a close r working relationship with other program areas.
5. Developed a greater accountability for ETS in the field , including a more flexible management reporting system .
ETS will continue to be an integral part of the Department's operations, offering inmates a realistic opportunity to a sume responsibility for their own rehabilitation. Through ETS, rehabilitation can continue to be an effective and efficient tool for correctional management.

COUNSELING SERVICES

Always aware of the value of improving coun eling ervices provided to individual offenders, the Department has attempted to respond to the growing inmate population by increasing the number of institutional and center counselor personnel from 141 in FY 80 to 208 in FY 81. The net result of these efforts is more manageable counselor caseloads and better opportunities for meeting individual needs for offender counseling and case supervision. Counselors in correctional institutions and community center continue to focus upon enabling offenders to cope with the problems of daily living, development of personal responsibility and acquiring sk ills needed for responsible community life.

Counseling Services plans, organizes and coordinates sta tewide counseling

services and programs. The major focus of efforts in FY 81 was to begin

implementing a subsystem of supportive mental health services within the

framework of correctional settings. Counselors in designated institutions assumed a complementary role in providing various graduated leve ls of

Counseling session at Y.O.U.

services and referrals. Additionally, new programs were implemented or

refined for special-need groups such as young offenders and alcohol-

15

abusers. Along with planning for programming for new correctional institutions. efforts were mad e toward increased standardization and program effecti ve ness through ex tensive on-site program reviews of designated institutions a nd ce nters.
T he more significa nt a reas of progress in FY '8 1 include the following:

Mental Health Subsystem

Following major planning and development efforts by Department counseling services and health services administrative stall, a subsystem of mental health services for emotionally disturbed inmates was implemented. Satellite programs including special living units were initially established at eight key correctional institutions (Metro CL Central CL Rutledge CL Georgia Industrial Institute, Georgia State Prison. Coastal CL Middle Georgia Correctional! nstitution: Youthful Offender and Women\ Units). The programs provide a referral network for institutions with graduated levels of evaluation and intervention. Metro Cl offers the most intensive services including aftercare for offenders returning from Central State Hospital. As an integral component of these programs, counseling services provides program coordination, psychological services and counseling case management.

Alcohol/ Drug Abuse Programs

Standard alcohol/ drug programs were piloted in four state correctional institutions beginning in October, 1979, as a result of federal funding. With the termination of that funding this past year. these programs have continued to function effectively offering a special living unit and a graduated program of individual and group counseling through clinical consultation and trained counselor staff.

In FY 81, a total of 377 inmates were screened and; or participated in the four pilot programs with 142 (75%) successfully completing their respective programs. The following is a more specific review of progress:

Counseling Service Delivery to Serious Juvenile Offenders

Since September, 1979, a counseling service delivery project has been underway in conjunction with the University of Georgia Department of Family and Child Development to provide specialized services to juvenile offenders under 21 years of age committed as adults in state correctional institutions. In FY 81, the following were key activities:
a. A family education program was conducted in April, 1981. at the Atlanta Baptist Tabernacle for family members ofjuvenile offenders nearing release from prison. Families from throughout the State participated in the program to gain more understanding of adjustment problems which they might encounter with the return of their family member from prison.

b. Special training was provided to counselors from institutions housing juvenile offenders to increase counselor effectiveness in meeting the special needs of this population.

c. An extensive service delivery study was conducted soliciting data from courts, community agencies. correctional staff, juvenile offenders and their families. The study results and recommendations will be presented to the Board of Offender Rehabilitation in early FY 82.

Career Counseling Program

During FY 81, planning and development act1v1t1es with the Georgia Career Information System (GCIS) culminated in a pilot career counseling program funded through grant funds from Georgia State University. As a result, beginning June, 1981. counselors from key institutions and centers were selected to be trained to utilize a computerized needle-sort career information package available through GCIS to assist offenders in obtaining needed information and counseling for making career choices. In addition, an evaluation is being conducted to determine effectiveness and additional information which may be included in the system.

Clinical Consultation Services

Beginning in June, 1979, part-time clinical psychologists were employed

under the supervision of the Director of Counseling Services to provide

weekly clinical consultation to counselor staff in community transitional

centers. In FY 81, these services were expanded to include not only six of

the seven centers, but also eight State correctional institutions. Consulta-

tion routinely involves staffing of individual offenders with counselor staff,

individual counselor consultation, and clinical assessment of individual

offenders with emotional crises or episodes for special programs or mental

18

health referral.

Department Counseling Services Standards
Department standards for institutional counseling programs and activities were completed during FY 81. Through program consultation assistance (funded by LEAA) and a standards committee comprised of counselor staff from institutions statewide, standards meshing counseling, psychological services and case management were completed. Initial implementation of these standards and routine monitoring will begin in FY 82.

Program Reviews
At the request of Department managers, program reviews and technical assistance was provided for Atlanta Advancement Center and Atlanta Women's Transititional Center. Formal program management reviews were conducted at Middle Georgia Correctional Institution Units, Central Correctional Institution, Georgia State Prison, and Georgia Training and Development Center. Recommendations were provided for improved program and staff effectiveness.
Counselor Training Activities
In conjunction with staff development training coordinators, major planning, direction and instruction assistance was provided for counseling training opportunities:
a. Basic and advanced mental health training was provided to counseling, medical and security staff from the eight satellite institution programs. Training conducted at Georgia Regional Hospital (Atlanta) and Metro C. I. included orientation and skills development in treatment, medication, crisis intervention and working with the emotionally disturbed.
b. In-service training workshops were developed and provided through training coordinators and consultants. Training was restructured to relate the job functions and to provide various levels of skills developed for each function or specialization, such as individual and group counseling, crisis intervention, alcohol/ drug abuse, employment and family counseling, career counseling.
c. Quarterly conferences were held 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 other agencies this past year pro-

19

vided the following interface:
a. Mental Health and Mental Retardation Division (DHR)- A series of one-week, on-site basic mental health training sessions was conducted at Georgia Regional Hospital (Atlanta) for department institutional counselors. medical and security staff. Both instruction and unit supervision training were provided by hospi tal staff at no cost to the Department.
b. DeKalb Addiction Center- Counselors from institutions. centers and county institutions continued to participate without cost on a rotating basis throughout the year in the one-week intensive training program offered by DeKalb Addiction Center in drug-alcohol abuse treatment training.
Department Representation on Councils and Boards
The Director of Counseling Services represe nts the Department on the following councils. boards and institution s in an effort to seek cooperation , possible linkage of services and support in areas of mutual concern:
a. Governor's Advisory Council on Mental Health / Mental Retardation .
b. Governor's Advisory Council on Alcohol/ Drug Abuse.
c. Georgia Consortium for Career Information .
d. Georgia Interagency Council on Troubled Children.

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

Educational Services available to inmate in correctional institutions and residents of community centers during FY 81 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 (GEDhigh school equivalency). Emphasis in these activities is placed on increa ing competencies in reading, mathematics. and language skills. utilizing the latest educational technology and programmed instructional material in a learning setting.

These laboratories represe nt a major step in the direction of an adult-

oriented. non-traditional education system. incorporating effective asse s-

ment of indi vidual learning deficiencies. pre cription of specific materials.

management of the learning program. short-range incentives, and evalua-

tion of the student's progress and the program as a whole. Standardization

20

of these program s continued to progress in all institution .

The Adult Education office, Department of Education (DOE), provided support to DOR educational programming by administering the GED test battery in institutions on a regional basis to more than I,100 inmates. DOE also assisted local Audit Education services in providing in-house classes at several state and county correctional facilities.

Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provided federal funding in the amount of$393,248 to support remedial mathematics, reading, and language instruction for the most needy students under 21 years old at four state correctional institutions. These classes offered supplementary activities for I,067 students who require more intense training and individual attention than are available in regular state funded programs.

In addition to basic skills, in-house college courses supported by six post-secondary institutions were offered at 15 correctional facilities .

Special Education programs have recently become part of the regular educational programming operated by the Department. The DOE and DOR have jointly developed an agreement that provides for the special education needs of handicapped inmates 18 years of age or below. Six Special Education Teacher positions were to be provided to DOR by DOE in September, 1981. An additional three positions were funded by DOR.

Library Services for inmates and community facility residents included such major activities as (I) librarian positions for Metro C. I. 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 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.I. The Division of Public Library Services provided materials to inmates in many of the institutions through a mail request/ delivery system. Central C. I. inmates enrolled in the Summer Reading Program with Bibb County Library Services.

During FY 81, vocational training continued to focus on program standar-

dization, supervisor and instructor training, individualization of vocational

classes, and renovation/ construction of vocational training facilities. There

were 58 certified classroom / laboratory programs and 45 certified OJT

programs operated at the following institutions: Walker C. I. / Walker

Tech, Georgia Industrial Institute/ Lanier Tech (CETA programs), Stone

Mountain C.I. f DeKalb Junior College (G.C.I.A.), Georgia Diagnostic

21

and Classification Center/ Griffin-Spalding Tech, Rutledge C.I./ Columbus Tech, Central C. I. / Macon Tech , Montgomery C.I. / Swainsboro Tech (G.C.l.A.), Lowndes C.l. / Yaldosta Tech, and Lee C.l. / Albany Tech.
Federal CETA funds awarded to the Department total $430,479 and include 14 vocational technical instructors and 19 vocational programs with equipment and supplies. Also included in this grant were contract programs with area vocational technical schools totaling $84,209. Approximately 500 offenders were served by the project in FY 81 . Continued operation of all ongoing programs is planned for FY 82 with Dental Lab Technology becoming the newest addition.
During this period of time, vocational training facilities at G.S .P . and G.l.l. completed substantial renovation projects. Both projects dealt with the redesign of shop layouts to include space for Learning Resource Centers and tool rooms. With the successful completion of these two projects, the delivery of training services has been greatly enhanced at both facilities. It is particularly noteworthy that FY 81 saw construction completed for a new vocational training facility at Lee C. I. The new facility houses programs in auto mechanics, construction trades, heating/ air conditioning, and solar energy.
FY 81 saw Educational Services OJT programs continue to grow with the expansion of on job training opportunities at the Georgia Industrial Institute, Middle Georgia Correctional Institution. Metro Correctional Institution, Coastal Correctional Institution. and Georgia State Prison. Development of formal OJT programs resulted in the expansion of vital vocational training programs for offenders at a fraction of the cost of planning and operating formal classroom laboratory training programs. In addition. a certified multi-trade apprenticeship program has been established for the Women's Unit at Middle Georgia Correctional Institution.
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 81 was the full operation of a system to computerize enrollment . attendance. test scores. and related records of educational programs. Much valuable information has been gained by its use .

WOMEN'S SERVICES
The Office of Women's Services was created in 1973 for the purpose of developing a viable service delivery system for the state's female offender population . The office is further charged with the responsibility of giving direction to the development of program and operational policies that will create a correctional environment responsive to the varied needs of the female population, including female probationers.
Presently, there are six facilities for females in the Georgia system: a state correctional institutional, Hardwick, which offers a complete range of educational. vocational, counseling, recreational. and religious programs; three transitional centers- two located in Atlanta and one in Macon ; and two diver ion centers, located in Atlanta and Albany.
The transitional program attempts to facilitate a woman's return to her community and family by providing counseling, educational programs, and employment opportunities. The diversion centers provide the courts with a structured four-month residential alternative to incarceration for females convicted primarily of property crimes and non-violent offenses. These centers, likewise. offer a range of rehabilitative services and employment opportunities, a well as requiring some sort of restitution from the offender.
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:
I) 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 need s of women that warrant particular programming and security approaches; and
4) To increase the public's awareness of and sense of respon ibility for the female offender.
During FY 81, pilot projects have been initiated to implement some of the models presented in this plan. There i pre ently an out-client program available for high-risk female probationers in the Rome Judicial Circuit, offering the courts a non-residential structured option to incarceration. Beginning in January, 1982. a specialized caseload model wi ll be piloted in five judicial di tricts. providing more expanded, specialized, and intensive probation field supervision.

VOLUNTEER RESOURCES

The Volunteer Resources Program encourages private citizens to actively participate in the correctional process. Throughout the state, individuals and groups offer offenders a wide variety of personalized se rvices including one-to-one tutors in educational programs, spiritual counseling and group study, instruction in job preparedness, basic life skills, consumer educa tion, various arts and crafts, and letter-writing to inmates witho ut fa mily support. Other citizens serve on ad visory councils or specia li zed fund-ra i ing committees, coordinate inmate Ja ycee Chapters, a nd provide regula r AA meetings and related services.

During 1981 , approximately 41,000 hours were donated by more than 2700 Georgia citizens who believe corrections must be a process of society rather than an appendage to society.

RECREATION
Participation in the correctional recreation program is a vita l pa rt of the total treatment program as it eases the tension a nd recreates the mora le of the participants. The socializing influence inherent in this progra m enables the participating inmates to gain a better rapport among themse lve a well as staff supervisors. At the same time , it provides a mea ningful outlet for offenders during leisure hours.

Atlanta Falcons vis1t G.T. .t D.C., Buford

During FY 81 the following programs ha ve been conducted:

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 crafts and soccer in 1981 .

An Annual Drama Festival was conducted with the drama group judged by professional actors.

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, horseshoes, 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 parties (for inmates' children), picnics, field day and cultural events.

Over 30 percent of the total inmate population participated in competitive sports with an additional 31 percent participating in other structured recreation programs. Attendance at the 16mm movie program reached 6,568 .

The DOR has opened two new prisons in the last 12 months and six professional recreational staff members have been employed. This brings the total recreation staff in the Department to 36.

GENERAL SERVICES AND SUPPORT

General Services and Support (GSS) has the primary responsibility to insure DOR's completion and compliance with state laws and regulations.

GSS is made up of nine major sections: Personnel, Planning and Budget,

Facilities Development and Engineering, Grants Development and Admin-

istration, Staff Development and Training, Fiscal Management, Farm and

28

Food Services, Purchasing/ Administrative Support, and Audits.

PERSONNEL
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, developed and implemented within the framework and guidelines of the 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 81:
"Impartial selection of the best qualified persons for government service - and equal opportunity for competent employees to be promoted within the service."
The ultimate mission of the Department 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 the classification and transactions units, each of which carries out specific responsibilities a reflected in the following:

ADMINISTRA T/ON - Formulates and distributes policies and procedures, promotes equal opportunity in selection, coordinates employee benefits and services, provides a management se rvice for manpower allocation, and coordinates the Department's Affirmative Action, Adverse Action, and Grievance programs.

CLASS/FICA TION UNIT - Reviews audits and processes and maintains accountability for all positions, assuring that each is properly structured to perform assigned responsibilities.

TRANSACTIONS UNIT - Insures that all personnel transactionsappointments, 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 4,200 positions. At the close of FY 81,

3,899 of these positions were filled. The personnel statistics for the year

PERSONNEL SERVICES AND HIGHLIGHTS DURING FY 81

The Offender Rehabilitation Vacancy Announcements- Distribution

30

is made weekly throughout the Department to insure that all depart-

mental staff are made aware of vacancies and have an equal opportunity to apply if they desire. Selected out-of-state job announcements are made through this same method.
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 non-adoption.
Technical Assitance-Information in the area of worker's compensation, unemployment insurance, health benefits, and retirement is readily available.

Credit Union-Employees may join the State Employees Credit Union (SECU) 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 Joan 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 the 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-(Small 1-day) Three Personnel ProblemSolving Seminars were held during FY 81. Feedback from each was extremely positive.

Grievance Process-The over-all grievance handling process for state employees was revised. The Department program was simplified, and the emphasis has been placed on early identification and solution of problems before they become serious enough for formal hearings.

Adverse Actions-The number of disciplinary actions has increased

with the greater number of employees. Simultaneously, the number

of appeals from action taken has increased both numerically and

proportionately. Several workshops have been held to increase the

professionalism and competence in this area at all levels.

FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING

The Office of Facilities Development and Engineering (FOE) is responsible for the design, construction and maintenance management of all new and existing departmental facilities, as well as the management of all leased departmental facilities. FOE is responsible for implementation of the DOR 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 a continued facility construction and renovation effort by the Department.

FOE is very active in consulting and providing planning assistance to county correctional institutions in various areas of the state. When requested, visual surveys of existing conditions at county institutional sites are made, and proposed plans are reviewed by this section for security aspects, technical adequacy and cost control.

A regional prototype diverson center has been designed for construction in the immediate future in the Augusta Area . A similar facility for a transitional center near Metro Correctional Institution, Atlanta, is nearing the bidding construction stage.

Parts of the wood energy heating system at Dodge C.l.

FOE is coordinating the installation of woodburning boiler systems at Walker Correctional Institution, Lafayette, and Georgia Industrial Institute, Alto. A distillery will soon be in operation at Lee Correctional Institution, Leesburg, to make ethynol from agricultural products which will be used to fuel farm equipment. Other energy efficient and cost effective ideas "are being investigated in the maintenance and renovation efforts statewide.

FOE coordinated maintenance crews from various institutions to dismantle a meat processing plant owned by the state, to make room for an addition to the World Congress Center. Several hundred thousand dollars worth of cooling equipment. meat processing equipment, meat rails, light fixtures and other miscellaneous items were salvaged for future use at institutions at great savings to the state.

FOE continues 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 toward future

repairs. In addition, FOE continues standardization of maintenance

agreements, development of project request procedures, and developing a

simplified, timely maintenance system. Maintenance is also required to

enact renovations in areas ranging from fire stairways to windows, lighting

and ventilation, that are necessary to comply with health and safety codes,

court orders and energy efficiency requirements.
The Department continues the 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, and to provide facilities in keeping with current and expected standards such as square footage per resident. Construction of Dodge Correctional Institution and the Augusta Correctional and Medical Institution continues.
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. FOE has taken the lead in drafting standardized contracts, license agreements, utility agreements and other required legal documentation solidifying the Department's legal position.
STAFF DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING
The goal of this section is to provide employees of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation with the skills necessary to perform their jobs well and to develop their career potential. Much of the training continues to be done at the Staff Development Center. Athens, which provides classroom and dormitory facilities on the campus of the University of Georgia for approximately 75 trainees.
Numerous significant training milestones were achieved during the year. In reaching these goals the reso urces of the training section ha ve been stretched. In addition to keeping up with the routine demands for training. the following major tasks were accomplished :
Training records were put on the GEMS - Training System . More than 10.000 training record s were batch loaded and entered directly into the system by the training section in May.
Implementation of center assessment program. Fulfilled a Food Service Training Grant Program. Staff training provided for personnel at new institutions. 6971 Fire Safety Training program fully implemented .

The chart shows the continuing growth in the
a number of employees trained . There was more
than 38% increase in the number of employees trained over the previous year. This allowed for an index of 2. 14 training experiences per employee compared to 1.74 the previous year.

PLANNING AND BUDGET
Since the 1980s the Planning and Budget offices have been combined into one administrative unit. This organization reflects the DOR philosophy that planning and budgeting are integral parts of the same management process.
The Planning and Budget Section is responsible for (I) an annual systemlevel 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 the system and program levels and results in the completion of an annual agency plan and zerobased budget document. The FY 83 budget request for the agency identified agency financial needs exceeding $125 million in new funding levels.
The major planning effort for FY 81 was directed towards developing strategies for managing the continuing growth of the inmate and probationer populations. Several projects were initiated to identify financial and non-financial approaches to this problem. These projects will be continuing into 1982.

PURCHASING/ ADMINSTRATIVE SUPPORT

The Department's central procurement and property control functions are

coordinated by the Purchasing and Administrative Office. During the fiscal

year, 24,000 purchases with a value of more than $20 million were pro-

cessed. The Procurement Section served as Department liaison for all

purchasing matters with the Purchasing and Supply Division of the

Department of Administrative Services, supervised a statewide credit card

system and bulk petroleum issuance system at certain institutions, con-

ducted complete audits of all Department purchases to insure compliance

37

with state purchasing rules and regulations, coordinated the completed implementation of the computerized equipment inventory system for all DOR units, and provided management control of all DOR vehicles which included maintaining inventory of all the fleet. In FY 81, the Care and Custody Inmate program was implemented which provided a system for the issuance and replacement standards on all inmate and officer supplies. A statewide uniform warehouse was established in Milledgeville for the issuance and control of all correctional officer uniforms. This overall program was designed to meet the care and custody needs for all state correctional facilities in a uniform and systematic manner while saving the state thousands of dollars.

GRANTS ADMINISTRATION
During FY 81, federal funds exceeding $1,892,037 were awarded to the DOR in support of such programs as remedial education programs for inmates, computer systems development, alternatives to incarceration, substance abuse, major construction and updating of wastewater systems, extended assessment of inmates, staff development, continued development of the Earned Time System, and the development of alternative fuel sources.
The development of the programs listed above has come about as a result of funding made available to the State of Georgia by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the National Institute of Corrections, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, the Intergovernmental Personnel Act, and the Department of Energy.
Funds are currently being sought to enhance existing programs such as in-service training, classification, and improvement of inmate services.

AUDITS
This section does the auditing of all financial records to insure fiscal responsibility in all the Department's units. In FY 81, there were 65 audits performed for probation offices, 13 audits for community centers and 23 audits of state correctional institutions.

FISCAL MANAGEMENT

The Accounting Office maintains accountability for all DOR expenditures

which encompassed FY 81 budget of approximately $127 million. There

38

were a total of97,968 documents entered into the system resulting in a total

of 44,157 checks issued.

The Payroll Section maintains semi-monthly payrolls totaling in excess of 4,200 checks, with a total annual payroll in excess of $65 million.

GEORGIA CORRECTIONAL INDUSTRIES

Georgia Correctional Industries 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 prerelease training of offenders under the custody of DOR.

Each industry within an institution is similar 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 respective 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 own operating, capital outlay, and expansion needs through the sale of products and services.

All operations ofthe Administration are under the direction of the Georgia Correctional Industries Board. In accordance with legislation enacted by the 1980 General Assembly, the State Board of Offender Rehabilitation assumed the responsibilities and policy functions of the Industries Board effective July I, I980.

During FY 81 , the Administration provided 605 daily inmate 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.

The Administration continued to expand its facilities , production capacity

and inmate job training slots during FY 81. New textile and mattress

operations were initiated at the Middle Georgia Correctional Complex,

and new concrete, carpentry, and upholstery plants were constructed at

Montgomery Correctional Institution. Additionally, the central ware-

Mattresses provided by Correctional Industries

house / distribution facility at Georgia State Prison was expanded to 40,000

square feet.

39

During FY 81, an internal Industries Task Force was created by the development of an overall Industries master plan . The Task Force will review both existing and future potential industrial operations, inmate manpower and training needs, facility site locations, and the financial needs of the Administration. The Task Force is to complete its work and present its recommendations in the coming fiscal year.

PROBATION SERVICES DIVISION

Probation is a sentence consisting of legal conditions and requirements by the judiciary and, therefore, is served under court-ordered supervision in the community. Special conditions as well as court fines and/ 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 l, 1981, the Probation Division had a total staff of 759 field positions, 169 diversion center positions, and 21 administrative positions.
There are 43,229 offenders on probation. Probation supervisors carry an average caseload of approximately 117 probationers. At the current rate of growth, projections indicate there will be some 50,000 probationers by 1982.
There are two types of probated sentences within the 42 judicial circuits:
(l)The 62 state courts handle primarily misdemeanant and child support cases; and
(2)The superior courts are responsible for felony cases.

The Probation Division provides:

- Professional Services-Professional Services are provided to the criminal justice system for the protection of the community at large. Professional service is directed towards affecting the social adjustment of some 45,000 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, collection of fines, restitution and/ or court costs.

- The Presentence Assessment Program-This program provides for

43

Womens' Divenion Center, Atlanta
44

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 State Board of Pardons and Paroles as an aid in determining appropriate sentences. Once sentenced. this package also follows the offender to his assigned rehabilitative setting, whether that be a correctional institution, diversion center. or probation office. The information package provides the information needed to determine proper supervision and treatment strategies. There are currently 9 judicial circuits with full presentence assessment teams which 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 FY 81, 2,953 psychological evaluations and 9,688 long and short form presentence investigations were completed .
- In April, 1981 , the Board of Offender Rehabilitation passed a resolution requiring that presentence investigations and psychological evaluations be made available to correctional institutions on a statewide basis rather than just from the 9 circuits with presentence assessment teams. According to personnel at the two diagnostic institutions. a complete presentence assessment package reduces processing time fifty percent.
- Diversion Centers- Statewide diversion centers provide an alternative for offenders who need more than regular supervision. but less than long term incarceration.
- Interstate Compact Services- The Interstate Compact Services provide coordination of investigation requests, criminal histories and transfers of probation supervision between Georgia and the other 49 states. 1,843 Georgia cases under supervision out-of-state were processed during the same period, bringing the Probation Compact caseload total to 3,069.
- Collection of Fines, Restitution and Court Costs- The Probation Division collects fines, restitution / court costs and child support. During FY 81 a total of $17,213,091.00 was collected. This represented $1.6 million in restitution, $5.5 million in fines / court costs, and $10 million in child support.
DIVERSION PROGRAM
Because of prison overcrowding crises and because of a trend to require the

offender to accept responsibility 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 offender 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 other option to the diversion center was prison. This can occur in two ways: post sentence diversion and direct sentencing.

-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 considerations 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 Com-

Resident making bed at Divenion Center

missioner of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation, which lim-

its their services to adults only (17 years or older).

45

Group counseling - Diversion Center
46

- Offenders must be willing to enter into a contract with the center. establishing beha vo rial objectives to be achie ed .
Once accepted in a diversion center. the offender enters an orientation period . which requires that he f she be tested to identify ocial. physical or emotioml problems. During this period the res ident is familiarized with all the rules and regulations of the center.
Within the fir t seve n days. resident s are expected to locate full time employment in the community with assista nee from a center counselor and the State Labor Department.
nlike traditional incarceration. a resident of a di ersion center is held financially responsible for his crime.
All residents are charged room and board. pa y taxe . pay for their own personal item . financially assist their families. pa y re titution to victims and fines to the court. (See Earnings and Disbur ement Report for totals.)
In addition to full time employment. residents are involved in various self-he lp activities at the center. Programs offered include individual and group coun eling. employment skills. consumer education. GED and Adult Basic Education, recreation and religious activitie .
THE PRESENTENCE ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
The Community Diagnostic Program began in 1972 with the federal funding of the Diagnostic Evaluation Center in Macon . Georgia. This project was established to provide p ychological data a an aide to inten ive probation supervision and wa later expanded at the request of the Macon Superior Court Judges. to include psychological evaluations to supplement pre entence investigations. By early 1973. psychological evaluations had become an integral part of presentence investigations. Expansion of the program continued in 1975-76.
The professional staff established the credibility for what ha s now become one of the nation' mo t functional and productive Community Diagnostic Programs in Probation.
The diagnostic process is constantly being refined to better meet the needs of the Superior Court Judge , probation staff and institutional personnel.
The focus of the program has steadily changed to that of Presentence Assessment, since the first priority is to provide Superior Court Judges with verified information a an aid in reaching an appropriate sentencing decision.

THE PROBATION DIVISION IN THE 80's
The Probation Division continued to concentrate on the refinement of its service delivery system to offenders. This was accomplished by reducing paper work and adding staff, and training programs. Specific projects now in developmental 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 expansion of the presentence investigation program 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 Division will continue working toward guidelines to meet accreditation standards.
-The Division will continue efforts to establish new centers in Savannah and Columbus.

TRANSITIONAL SERVICES

Transitional Services operates seven community based transitional centers (four male centers and three female centers). These centers house selected inmates who are serving the last four to twelve month s of their incarceration. After a one month orientation period, approved residents may seek and obtain full-time employment with the assistance of staff. Two treatment centers, Andromeda and New Horizons, provide a six-month inhouse program prior to work release. Once a resident becomes employed, he or she begins to pay the state for room and board at a rate of $5.00 per day. Thus, the residents become productive individuals, contributing to their own upkeep, assisting their families , paying taxes and saving money for their release .

The total bedspace capacity for all the transitional centers at any one time is 488. During FY 81 the centers served I,576 residents, which represents an increase of almost 200 over the previous year. Residents earned over $1.1 million, paid in excess of $177,000 in taxes, and returned over $281 ,000 to the state in room and board payments.

As a result of the departmental reorgani za tion which brought the Office of Transitional Services within the Divi sion of Adult Facilities and Programs, transitional centers now experience a much closer working relationship with state and county insitutions.

Transitional Service had two main objectives in FY 81: (I) improving the

physical facilities of the centers and (2) streamlining and standardizing

center operations. In the area of physical facilities, state funds have been

New Horizons Treatment Center

allocated to construct a new center to replace the Atlanta Women' Transi-

tional Center. This will be the first transitional center constructed with state

53

fund . Construction will be completed and the building occupied in 1982. The development of an inmate maintenance crew for transitional centers to irnprove phy ical facilities was al o initiated in 1981.
Efforts made to achieve the goal of treamlining and standardizing center operation include refi nement of the Transitional Center Operations Manual, the initiation of Adult Facilities & Programs Operation Bulletins, and increased training for center business managers.

STATE AND COUNTY CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION SUPERVISION

The functions of the office of State and County Correctional Institutions are to direct and assist institutional and departmental personnel in the operation of the institutions . The administrative office, located in Atlanta is composed of a Supervi or of State Institutions, a Supervisor of County Institutions, and an Assistant State Supervisor of Security. Four Regional Supervisors- two State and two County- for the orthern and outhern geographic regions, are located in field office in Atlanta , Dublin , and Leesburg.

This office works closely with Superintendents and other personnel at correctional facilities issuing and implementing new policies and regulations, re olving problems, and upgrading operational tandard . Inve ligations , inspection , and audit are con tantly being performed in all area to ensure that correctional facilities maintain the highest possible tandards including security, safety, care and treatment , hea lth , and sa nitation. The Department is assisted by the Department of Humar. Reso urces, the Department of Agriculture, and the tate Fire Marshall's Office as necessary. Plans are being developed to involve all state institution ii:~ the procedures necessary to have each facility full y accredited by the American Correctional Association. This will require each facility to meet theA CA. Standards for Correctional'lnstitution , which are the highest tandard in the United States.

This Department is responsible for the cu tod y and treatment of more than 12,500 state inmates in 20 state and 32 county in itution . Areas which are constantly being studied and upgraded include custody and security, vocational training, education programs, counseling, religious services, recreation , farm and dairy operations, correctiona l industries , and the inmate construction program. Five county in titutions were closed at the County Commission's requests during FY 81, representing a lo of 275 bed for DOR inmates. They are as follows:

Con truction projects which were underway or completed in FY 81 are itemized in the Engineering/ Facilities section of this report.
Diagnostic and Classification
The Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center (GD&CC), Jackson, is the principle intake and processing unit for male offenders with more than a two-year se ntence, including offenders sentenced under the Youthful offender Act. (Inmates under death sentences are classified as "permanent" as ignment to the G D&CC; most misdemeanants and offenders with less than two year sentences, are assigned from jail to a state or county correctional institution .) The Women's Unit, Middle Georgia Correctional Complex, provides diagnostic services for female offenders.
Once an offender is received at the GS&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 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 problems.
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 made 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.I.I.)
Other information is then gathered from outside sources to help the correctional counselor during the final interview- the FBI report, felony 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 discus ing and evaluating educational goals. Upon completion of these interviews, the correctional counselor submits a report which include 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 institutions that best meets his needs.
*A listing of facilities improvements in state and county correctional institutions during FY 81 is available through the Public Affairs Office.
FUNCTIONS
Custody and Security
The Department employs some 2,967 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 651 state employees and to 615 employees at the county correctional institutions.
Generally, the state correctional institutions are classified as medium security. Four facilities have sections or cell blocks that are termed as maximum security: Georgia State Prison, Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center, Georgia Industrial Institute and the Women's Unit. There is one

institution, Youthful Offender Unit, Hardwick, Georgia, which houses Qffenders under the Youthful Offender Act. This institution, a part of the Middle Georgia Correctional Complex, houses offenders who are 17-24 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 I9 years of age and under. The Washington Building (Men's Unit) at Middle Georgia Correctional Complex, Hardwick , is designed for aged and infirmed 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.
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 trades, landscaping, plumbing, auto body and fender repair, electronics, radio and television repair, service station management, food service, buliding maintenance, barbering, cosmetology, heavy equipment operation, medical technology, upholstery, business education, and solar technology.
Education 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, GED preparation, college courses, consumer education and educational release. Georgia Industrial Institute, Alto, operates an accredited academic high school, College programs are offered at 15 correctional facilities .
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 Analysis and "Operation Get Smart."
Religious Services: Institutional chaplains provide religious services repre-

senting all faiths to inmates. Also, chaplains provide religious counseling and guidance to inmates, family members and employees.
Recreation: Recreational activities provide good physical exercise 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 81, food produced by farm services was valued at $4.4 million.
Correctional Industries: More than 605 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 81 some of the programs included security renovations on H house at Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Center, comp-lete renovation of Rivers Building, Nand S Wings, Milledgeville, and a maintenance shop was constructed at Central C.l., Macon.
