Message from the Commissioner

The Honorable Joe Frank Harris Governor of Georgia and The Georgia General Assembly Atlanta, Georgia 30334

Dear Governor Harris and Members of the General Assembly

I am pleased to submit the Annual Report for the Department of Corrections for Fiscal Year 1989. The inmate and probation population continue to grow at unprecedented rates, and the department's efforts to meet the resulting challenges in the near term and in the long run are indicated in this report.
With your help in FY 1989, the department was able to add more than 1,600 urgently-needed prison beds in less than six months' time, an achievement that was the product of a level of teamwork and d etermination seldom seen before in state government.
Thanks to your thorough understanding of the concept of a balanced approach to corrections, work was begun on a new 200-bed shock incarceration probation center (Georgia's third), and funding was provided for completion and startup of new detention and d iversion centers to house probationers in a neighborhood setting.
Meanwhile, appropriations were secured to continue work on three large state prisons under construction that eventually will provide space for more than 2,200 offenders.
In summary, by working shoulder to shoulder during FY 1989, we were able to take significant steps toward achieving our mission as defined by the people of Georgia: to do everything possible to make sure there is appropriate space available to confine, rehabilitate or punish hardened criminals, while providing Georgia's judges with an innovative array of alternatives to prisons for those offenders who qualify

Commissioner Bobby K. Whitworth
While we know the challenges of the 1990s will test our mettle and further stretch our resources, the teamwork we exhibited throughout the 1980s reassures us that we have the right stuff
#: to meet - and beat - the tests of the coming decade. I look forward to working with you.
Sillcerely,%
Bobby K. Whitworth Commissioner

Introduction

The Georgia Department of Corrections and the Board of Corrections, working closely with the governor and General Assembly, reinforced its commitment to the people of Georgia in fiscal year 1989 by renewing its pledge that whether it takes more bricks, bars and barbed wire or progressive probation options, the public must be kept safe from convicted criminals.
The vow was not made of idle words, but was backed by money and resolve. Georgia in FY 1989 embarked on an aggressive building program in a crash effort to add more than 3,000 new beds at a costof$4lmillion.
The FY 1989 plan was to relieve as soon as possible some of the system's dire overcrowding problems until a host of large new prisons could be built in the decade of the 1990s in anticipation of massive growth in the criminal population by the year 2000.
Georgians, through their legislators, said at the beginning of FY 1989 that they simply had had enough. They wanted convicted criminals dealt with, and they wanted overcrowding in their local jails eased.
The corrections department and the legislature, hearing the people's message, put new bedspace on such an imperative construction

schedule that David C. Evans, then commissioner of Corrections, remarked that the name of his organization easily could be changed to the Department of Construction.
At the same time as the crash construction program was progressing, the probation arm of the corrections department was moving aggressively to implement new programs and streamline existing efforts to oversee the semi-confinement or supervision of more than 110,000 persons serving sentences outside the prison setting.
In FY 1989, start up funds were provided for four new low-security detention centers and one diversion center to house a total of 600 offenders outside prison.
Thus, while Georgians understand the need for a probation system that offers appropriate options to prison for some categories of lawbreakers, citizens showed in FY 1989 they are willing to support the bricks-and-mortar approach to corrections in order to confine and punish the high-risk classes of offenders.
The Georgia Department of Corrections, with its staff of almost 10,000 dedicated professionals, moved swiftly in FY 1989 to carry out that twopronged mandate of the people, wisely keeping one eye on the challenges to be met in future years.

FY89 Annual Report

Overview

Fiscal Year 1989 will be remembered by executives and staff of the Georgia Department of Corrections as the year they looked into their crystal ball and were privileged to catch a telling glimpse of the future.
What they saw was alarming. While the prison population in Georgia had averaged just over 18,000 throughout FY 1988, projections predicted the inmate population would burgeon to more than 19,500 by the end of FY 1989. They were right.
However, as troubling as the short-term growth numbers were, the longer-range projections seen through the smoky glass were not only startling, but frightening. Researchers and planners with the department learned that if present drug-related crime and sentencing trends remain the same, there will be over 59,900 prison beds needed in Georgia by the year 2000.
The numbers vividly depicted for the seers the urgent nature of the prison emergency in Georgia: with its 84 varying facilities now barely equipped to handle some 20,000 prisoners, how would Georgia deal with the need to house an estimated 32,000 more in the next decade?
The tables, charts and graphs on the following pages will show the FY 1989 workload at the Department of Corrections, but they do not begin to tell the story of how the department has begun to prepare to manage the flood tide of offenders expected to be washing over it in the 1990s and beyond.
However, reacting to the obvious crisis, plans were made and $41 million appropriated in FY 1989

to construct a new 800 bed medium security prison in Washington County and a 200 bed boot-camp style prison in Treutlen County.
Put on a fast-track schedule to add 200 beds each (except Rogers CI in Reidsville, which added 400 beds) to their existing facilities plants were Coastal Correctional Institution, the Georgia Diagnostic and Oassification Center in Jackson, Georgia Women's Correctional Institution in Hardwick, Central Correctional Institution in Macon, Lowndes CI and Ware CI.
Also, a new facility for women was built in Milan that will house 150 female offenders.
While all of this new construction was put on the fast-track funding schedule designed to make space available to offenders as quickly as within six months, the use of the new prison in Washington County was about two years away.
The peek into the future produced other areas in which there was a high level of concern. It became obvious in FY 1989 the cost of incarcerating offenders in the prison of the future will continue to rise drastically, driven not only by factors such as inflation, but by the need for specialized treatment for an ever-enlarging category of lawbreaker infected with AIDS or addicted to drugs, alcohol or both. In FY 1989, $1.5 million was appropriated to pay for special housing and handling for HIV positive inmates for part of the year only, with more to come later.
From an estimated cost of just over $34 a day per inmate in 1988, the cost of incarceration jumped in FY 1989 to at least $40 per day per inmate. Thus,

FY89 Annual Report

Georgians at the end of FY 1989 were paying about $14,600 yearly to house and feed each and every inmate in the general population.
Meanwhile, the department's efforts aimed at making the offender pay for his or her supervision or rehabilitation outside the prison setting were being expanded and enhanced in FY 1989. The eight programs administered by the Division of Probation expanded their caseload from a total of 120,948 in FY 1988 to 129,331 in FY 1989, which resulted in an equally-great increase in the amount of money offenders earned on probation programs and were able to pay back to society in the form of restitution.
Probationers in FY 1989 paid direct restitution of more than $5.76 million to victims, up more than $700,000 from the previous fiscal year. They also paid fines totaling $23.6 million and child support of more than $10.2 million, while their community service work was valued at $5.72 million.
In all, Georgia probationers in FY 1989 paid into the system some $45.3 million that otherwise would have come out of the pockets of Georgia taxpayers.
Detention centers, which are residential settings designed for low-security inmates, were started up in Evans, Laurens, Taylor and Union counties, each having the capacity to house between 100 and 150 offenders who are to make partial restitution to society through unpaid community service work details.

In Chatham County, the startup of a 50 bed diversion center provided those offenders renting space there the opportunity to work at regular jobs in the community while attending self-improvement classes at the center when not working.
In FY 1989, Georgia's 18 diversion centers charged offenders $1.77 million in room and board. Obviously, more are being planned.
Increased emphasis was placed on Georgia Correctional Industries programs in FY 1989 as well, because the division has such potential to help offset the cost of general operations. Through its 14 manufacturing operations, the division was able to generate more than $16 million in sales to the state in FY 1989, returning annually about $84,000 to the treasury after expenses.
Also during the year, approximately 900 inmates were involved in numerous farming programs scattered across the state. Those operations helped offset the rising cost of incarceration and gave offenders the opportunity to learn a trade or profession while paying their debt to society.
Although FY 1989 will not go down in history as a record year for dollar value of construction (that distinction appears to have been reserved for FY 1990 and FY 1991), it will be remembered as the red-flag year in which the Georgia Department of Corrections saw the future and stepped forward boldly to meet it.

FY89 Annual Report

Probation

The probation portion of the Department of Corrections plays the role of counterweight for the agency's doctrine of a ''balanced approach to incarceration." With imprisonment as one option, Georgia's probation program offers jurists a veritable smorgasbord of community-based alternatives. Given the tremendous number of individuals assigned to probation caseloads, varying degrees or levels of supervision have been developed to best govern these non-incarcerated lifestyles:
-Basic Probation: With well over 100,000 people assigned to this level, supervision by staff is maintained through several plans:
a) Maximum -3 contacts per month; two field contacts
b) High-monthly face-to-face; one field contact c) Medium -Monthly telephone contact;
quarterly face-to-face contact d) Minimum -Monthly telephone contact e) Financial-Child support payments
(weekly and monthly) f) Administrative -Cases that with court
approval receive no direct probation supervision
g) Other -Includes new cases pending classification and those who have absconded or who are serving concurrent prison sentences.
-Community Service: In many cases involving alcohol offenders, petty felony offenses, misdemeanors, et al., special probation supervision has been established where the offender maintains his job during the week and reports to his probation officer on weekends for work in and around the community. For others, this community service work could be performed during the week, still under probation supervision. Any project benefiting the community is screened for appropriateness for this free labor force.
-House Arrest-Electronic Surveillance: Considered the new kid on the block, this program is being tested in various areas of the state and requires the probationer to wear an electronic bracelet where his activities can be monitored and

his whereabouts verified. Added sophistication to the system allows the probation officer to verify intoxication via telephonic analysis of the subject's breath.
-Intensive Probation Supervision (IPS): In order to add stricter accountability to street probation, this program was developed to provide closely monitored supervision to those probationers deemed most likely to stray from their probation guidelines. By teaming a probation officer and a surveillance officer together and given a caseload of no more than 25, the agency hopes to provide maximum supervision to that element of its caseload where something just short of incarceration is warranted.
-Diversion Centers: The mission of community diversion centers is to provide a structured residential facility program for offenders who would otherwise have received prison sentences. This is done by providing housing for probationers during the night, and having him or her report to job sites during the day. Paychecks are turned in each week and room and board, fines, restitution, family support and personal maintenance costs are deducted. Counseling and rehabilitative services are provided at the centers during the evenings.
-Special Alternative Incarceration (Shock Incarceration): Probably nothing in the field of corrections has caught on so dramatically as has this program of military style basic training. Incarcerated within a prison compound, these relatively young (17-25) first-time incarcerants serve 90 days in a program based on instilling the work ethic and appreciation of the rights of others, primarily their victims.
-Probation Detention Centers: Modeled along the lines of "shock incarceration" units, these centers offer the habitual traffic offender, the drunk driver and probation violators the option to serve 120 days in a minimum security setting rather than a regular prison. The atmosphere is work intensive, with evening hours set aside for drug and alcohol counseling.

Georgia Correctional Industries

As a component of the state's prison system, Georgia Correctional Industries (GO) is a public corporation, wholly o-wned by the state, which manufacturers products and supplies utilizing skilled inmate labor. Although state owned, GCI maintains its operation and planned growth patterns from revenues derived from its sales and services. Currently 14 manufacturing facilities statewide produce marketable items generating over $16,000,000 in sales for FY89.
By utilizing inmate labor in its production phases, GCI can manufacture numerous items at greater cost savings than can outside companies. Consequently, GO's market is, by law, restricted to governmental agencies and educational units. There is no involvement with sales to private

industry and business. The operation of GCI is not only profitable to the state, but is of great benefit to the 902 inmates involved in the production phases.
Again by law, inmates under the supervision of the Georgia Department of Corrections cannot be paid for their labor. However, the skills and experience gained with the Industries programs have proved most marketable for inmates released back into the community. This experience is further augmented by the accreditation they receive from state vocational schools for their participation within the programs.
The chart below outlines the diversification of GCI and the availability of work for interested inmates.

Some categories contain large numbers of "Not Reported" responses. The percentages listed by each category are the true estimates for the entire inmate population since the "Not Reported" category is disregarded when computing these percentages. The percentage of inmates with unreported data is provided to give some idea as to the quantity of unreported data.
Since behavior problems, not inmates, are counted, there may be more than one beha vior code assigned to an inmate. Therefore, the total number of cases, both reported and not reported, may exceed the total inmate population.
***(F) denotes a Felony.
