superior operating performance achieved br this department during perhaps~ most ~anciall~ austere period in state government history. It 1s a ~t to the department's innovative leadership and dedicated employees that we were able to cut some 950 positions and slash our budget by almost $55 million, at the same time we were experiencing nearly a 10 percent growth in the inmate population, completing one of the most
massive prison construction programs in the nation, and bringing on line the largest prison boot camp system in the world
Despite the lean times, the department advanced notably in every operational area to maintain its status as a model for the nation - and therefore the world. This report details achievements in general operations, community corrections, medical and mental health care, escape prevention, correctional in~ustries, food and farm, education and computer services. After allegations of sexual abuse of inmates by some staff at
our women's facilities, we boldly addressed the problems, developed solutions, and now lead the nation in reforms in female offender services. I am proud to inform you that as I leave more than thre~ years at your service as Commissioner~ th~ G~rg~a Dep~ ment of Corrections has more msntunons accredited by the American Correctional Association - 36 - than any other state agency in the nation. Our Bo~ of Correc-

economy permitting, by the end of FY 1994, we will

add almost 7 000 more new beds to our system,

resulting in a'fmal maximum operating capacity ofjust

over 39,000 beds.

These new beds have allowed the Board of

Pardons and Paroles to end the Emergency Early

Release begun in 1989, and to tighten down further on

the release of other offenders. The result is that more

felons will be spending more time behind bars, which

should please our citizens and greatly enhance the

public safety.

.

.

Despite this massive growth and the mcrease m

the inmate population, we have managed to~ the

average per-day, per-inmate cost of incarceration from

$50 to $47.

These achievements are the result of your

longstanding support of and partnership with the

Department of Corrections. Despite our critics and

generally negative media, we know that together we

the citizens of Georgia can be proud As I leave this

Overview of FY 1992

Budget Crisis Forces Cuts, Change House Bill 1607 Passed Into Law

It was the year the "ize" had it; that is, reorganize, economize and prioritize.
As the new fiscal year dawned in July 1991, the state's severe fmancial crisis commanded the attention of practically every state employee. Change, it was clear, was on the horizon.
That July, Gov. Zell Miller announced the state was experiencing its most severe budget crisis in decades--the economy was extremely weak and revenue collections were pitifully slow-and that the time had come for unprecedented measures.
The first place to cut was the FY92 state budget, to ensure that it remained balanced. In August 1991, Gov. Miller called a special session of the General Assembly for the purpose of tightening the state's budget belts. The session resulted in cuts of about $412 million from the state's budget-Corrections had to cut $51.8 million.
Included in the reduction was the elimination of over 950 positions in Corrections, many of which were unfilled at the time of the cutbacks. The cuts resulted in the elimination of many top and middle level management positions, totaling hundreds of years of service to state government.
Then the department underwent a complete reorganization, effective Nov. 1, 1991, to streamline the GDC operation. In the process, the organizational structure shrank, reducing the number of GDC divisions from six to three: Operations, Community Corrections and Business and Support Services.
It became painfully clear by the end of the calender year, once the dust had settled over a newly reorganized department, that the department faced doing more and more with fewer and fewer resources.

The 1992 General Assembly session passed into law a dramatic piece of criminal justice legislation that was expected to have significant impact on the department and which had the potential of saving the state millions of dollars by FY2000.
The Sentence Reform Act, known as House Bill 1607, was written to lower the probation population by limiting active probation supervision to two years (unless extended by the court) and limiting the department's probation supervision of misdemeanors to selected offenses. In addition, since the bill prohibited revocations to prison unless the probationer committed a new felony or a violent misdemeanor, more prison hard beds were to be reserved for the more violent offender.
Boot Camps Get Boost
Gov. Miller's Comprehensive Correctional Boot Camp program, initiated in late 1990, continued to expand, thanks to the General Assembly's appropriation of about $14.3 million during FY92. The funds were tagged for the opening of six inmate boot camp units and three stand-alone probation boot camps, which when opened, were expected to increase the program's bed space by 2,016.
By fiscal year's end, the department was operating the following boot camp components: two inmate boot camps; four intensive discipline units; three probation boot camps; and 12 probation detention centers.

Allegations, Investigation Results in Positive Change
Allegations of sexual misconduct at the Georgia Women's Correctional Institution (GWCI) came to light in March and captured the department's attention for the remainder of the fiscal year. Commissioner Bobby K. Whitworth responded immediately with the request of a thorough investigation by the OBI. Changes in personnel, personnel functions, procedures, policies and routines were ordered into place so that activities such as these would never happen again.

State Board of Corrections
The Board of Corrections is composed of 15 members, one from each congressional district in the state and five additional members from the state at large. The governor appoints all members, subject to the consent of the senate, to staggered five-year terms.
The board establishes the policies governing the areas of probation and corrections and normally meets the first Thursday of each month. Members of the Board of Corrections also serve as the Board for Georgia Correctional Industries. These meetings are normally scheduled quarterly. Board members for FY 1992 include:

GDC Pulls Together To Find Solutions
As the end of the fiscal year came, the department was still trying to stabilize the rising costs of incarceration, high costs in treating a sicker inmate population, limited bedspace and shrinking resources. The department's problems became challenges, and more than ever, it was critical that the GDC staff become better managers of time and resources, both financial and human.
The GDC team, made up of over 11,000 dedicated professionals, made the best of some tough situations in FY92, and pulled together to focus on winning solutions, in the continuing effort to make GDC the finest correctional agency in the world.

those under parole supervision. Inmate files in parole status are prepped and microfilmed for storage due to space limitations.
The Releases and Agreements unit processes the release of inmates from the system, court production orders and detainer agreements. In addition, the unit calculates and processes county jail subsidies, and handles and schedules transportation for inmates being released to other authorities for court purposes both in and out of state.
The Admissions unit receives and processes inmate sentences from Georgia's 159 counties. In addition, beginning in Apri11991, the unit added an inmate boot camp subunit which is responsible for screening and assignment of new inmates whose sentences and background would qualify them as candidates to the inmate boot camp program.
Inmate Affairs
The Inmate Affairs section receives all complaints, grievances, claims for lost property, disciplinary appeals and correspondence generated by the inmate population. The unit also investigates and assists in the resolution of inmate problems and assures the availability of fonnal channels of communications and conflict resolution.
Transitional Services
Transitional centers are prerelease facilities in communities where both male and female inmates may serve the last few months of their sentences. The goal of transitional services is to help them make the transition from prison back into the community. Participants in the program must be recommended by their institution or referred by the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
In transitional centers, the development of the individual's self-discipline and responsibility are suessed. Residents are assisted in securing and maintaining employment in the community. They assume

the cost of room and board at the center, in addition to paying taxes and saving money for their releases.
Women's Services
Operations provides a wide variety of services for the female inmates incarcerated at the Georgia Women's Correctional Institution, Milan Women's Center, Washington CI, and in the Metro, Macon and Atlanta Transitional Centers.
Educational classes, from remedial reading to college course work, are available on every level. Group and individual counseling assists female offenders with drug, alcohol and parenting problems. Project REACH and New Hope Children's Center are the state's parenting program for incarcerated mothers. The program offer support and parenting education, as well as special visitation opportunities for mothers with their children. Vocational training in cosmetology, brick masonry, electrical wiring and other skills are offered to the women.
Female offenders at GWCI help the Georgia Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism by processing inquires from potential tourists to the state.
Offenders at Milan Women's Center provide complete maintenance for schools in Telfair County. They clean the schools and provide landscaping and ground maintenance. Additional details are sent to Dodge County schools to assist in the maintenance of buildings.

FY 1992 Annual Report

Female Litigation
On July 13, 1984 a civil rights/class action lawsuit
entitled Cason et AI. y. Seckinm. et Al., was filed
against the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) and a number of its employees and officials. The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, Macon Division. It was brought by Georgia Legal Services.
The suit focussed on the GDC prison facilities in the Milledgeville area commonly referred to as the "Middle Georgia Correctional Complex." Georgia Women's Correctional Institution (GWCI) is part of that complex.
Following a lengthy period of pre-trial discovery, the parties began a series of meetings to resolve by consent decree a number of issues raised in Qwm as a "totality of conditions" civil rights suit Among these issues were inmate discipline; the inmate grievance procedure; access to courts; inmate classification; mail; sanitation; visitation; food service; use of force; key control; tool control; racial discrimination; physical abuse; and a number of other issues.
On Friday, February 28, 1992, Mr. Robert Cullen, Georgia Legal Services, met with attorneys from the Attorney General's Office to report a series of allegations of staff misconduct made by GWCI inmates. These allegations included coerced abortions; sexual harassment; physical abuse; and sexual contact in violation of O.C.G.A. 16-5-6.1.
On Monday, March 2, 1992, Attorney General's staff conferred with Commissioner Bobby K. Whitworth and Deputy Commissioner Lanson Newsome concerning Mr. Cullen's allegations. That same day, Commissioner Whitworth requested a OBI investigation into all of the allegations.

Over the next several days, a series of meetings was held with staff attorneys, OBI investigators, GDC staff and Mr. Cullen.
In order to ensure that inmates would willingly testify to the truthfulness of the allegations, and without fear of reprisal or retaliation, Mr. Cullen sought from the court protective orders initially for nine of the inmates.
By March 23, 1992, the OBI and GDC investigation was underway. The commissioner immediately appointed two departmental representatives to be onsite for further assessment of the allegations. One of these representatives, Ms. Andie Moss, remained at GWCI as the liaison to Mr. Cullen to coordinate all efforts related to the allegations and other aspects of the Cason y. Seckin~er case at the institution.
Commissioner Whitworth ordered a number of other administrative changes affecting GWCI. This included the replacement ofGWCI's top management staff, effective April1, 1992, with a new warden and deputy wardens. The commissioner directed that GWCI's new warden report directly to Deputy Commissioner Newsome.
Since February 1992, the inquiry into allegations of staff misconduct has extended from GWCI to Milan Women's Center. During that time GDC officials have responded quickly to resolve the allegations by requesting and actively assisting in an independent investigation of its facilities. In addition, GDC officials have taken appropriate disciplinary action against employees found culpable, and have assisted OBI in referring appropriate cases for criminal prosecution. Finally, GDC officials have, from the beginning, initiated a complete management review of GWCI's programs and services for inmates and accountability measures to be applied to staff.
Many policies, procedures and security operations were changed to help make sure inmate abuse does not happen again, and heavy emphasis on inmate education

and staff training will help lessen the possibility of these incidents happening in the future.
With the opening of a new prison for women in Washington County, the population ofGWCI was lowered from more than 900 to about 680 to allow for more personal care and treatment to be given the remaining women.
Additionally, a new women's prison in Pulaski County will open in 1994. Recognizing the necessity to address the special needs of the burgeoning female inmate population, the department decided four years ago to begin work toward building the new Pulaski women's prison. It will be a state-of-the art facility with numerous rehabilitative programs.
Late in calendar year 1992, the department began a program of significant reforms in female offender medical services after an internal audit revealed deficiencies. Similarly, an internal audit by the department of its mental health services revealed deficiencies there, and major reforms have been under way in mental health treatment areas.
Teams of counselors and psychiatrists have been brought in at GWCI since March 1992, and they have spent hundreds of hours holding individual and group sessions on battered women's syndrome, sexual abuse issues and physical abuse trauma.
Starting with the hiring of a new female warden and two new deputy wardens on April1, staff changes were made in numerous areas with only one thing in mind: how will it benefit the citizens of Georgia and better serve inmate needs at the same time?
Commissioner Whitworth named Mary Esposito warden, Sonya Love deputy warden for Care & Treatment, Steve Lewis deputy warden for Security, and hired the department's first fulltime psychiatric director, Dr. Cassandra Newkirk.

In October, he named Dr. Allen Ault, nationallyrespected counselor/educator and corrections specialist, as his special assistant in charge of implementing necessary changes in female services stemming from an inmate class-action lawsuit.
On December 7, he named 10-year corrections veteran Ms. Andie Moss as assistant deputy commissioner for Women's Services. Ms. Moss, who has a master's degree in education and who has been working at the prison since March, will be focusing full time on improving all women's services at all present and future prisons.
Reforms and changes are under way in medical and mental health care delivery, food, recreation, security, counseling and in other areas of inmate life.

Community Corrections

House Bill 1607
The Sentence Reform Act, or more commonly known as HB 1607, was passed by the 1992 Legislature with one of its intents to decrease the actively supervised probation caseloads. The decrease was to be accomplished (1) by excluding certain misdemeanors from supervision by the Georgia Department of Corrections; (2) by placing a two-year limit on active probation supervision and (3) to divert technical violators from hard prison beds. The intended impact has already begun even though the bill became effective in May and was followed by a period of implementation.
The first quarter of FY 1993 has seen a decrease of 39 percent in the average number of cases admitted to probation as misdemeanors over the full quarter prior to HB 1607. The number of cases moving from active probation supervision to administrative and unsupervised status has grown by 28 percent in just four months. Although the total actively supervised probation caseload has grown by 11 percent mostly from new felony probation cases, the trends of the first quarter would indicate that the intended decrease will be realized by the end of the fiscal year.
Probation Accounting System Automation
Fiscal Year 1992 marks the most ambitious project toward spreading automation to 84 of the agency's probation offices. A local area network of personal computers was installed in the offices to replace the manual ledger system that has been in use since 1954. Many manhours were invested in converting the pencil and paper records into computer data that assists in the efficient and accurate handling of the approximately $50 million in collections that passes through probation offices, most of which goes into the various county treasuries.

An additional side benefit is the availability of standard software applications for word processing, spreadsheets and other database uses that comes with each of the over 240 personal computers. This huge step into automation is but a beginning in the many important steps to the broad area of information management in Corrections for the future.
Sentencing Alternatives
Community Corrections' role in counteracting the prison overcrowding problem is to offer the widest range of sentencing options short of traditional confinement for those offenders who can be diverted from prison with relatively little risk to the public. Approaches have involved the expansion of basic probation and the development and implementation of a variety of intermediate sanctions between regular probation and prison. Given the tremendous number of individuals assigned to probation caseloads, varying degrees or levels of supervision have been developed to govern these offender lifestyles.
Basic Field Probation Supervision is the cornerstone for all Community Corrections activity. Basic probation carries the majority of the burden by handling large numbers of cases with limited resources while dealing with a progressively more difficult class of probationers. An externally-validated classification system for probationers, based on a needs/risk scale of eighteen factors, allows probation staff to readily determine the amount of surveillance needed, degree of treatment required and frequency of contacts necessary for effective supervision. The level of supervision can range from one contact per month to one each week. During the period of probation, offenders whose drug or alcohol abuse requires monitoring are tested at the probation office or center for the presence of illegal substances in the breath or urine. The testing is provided when there is suspicion of use either because of

15

FY 1992 Annual Report

offender behavior, officer observation, information of others, or court-ordered conditions. The immediate results provide the opportunity for confrontation and referral to treatment or other intermediate sanctions.
Community Service by legislative definition is, "uncompensated work by an offender with an agency for the benefit of the community pursuant to an order by a court as a condition of probation." Community service promotes a work ethic approach to punishment and establishes accountability for criminal acts. The community service coordinator is responsible for agency recruitment and compliance, as well as offender screening, placement and monitoring of the offender's compliance with court-ordered hours. A community service coordinator is located in each judicial circuit The amount of money saved by local communities as a result of community service projects is immeasurable. On a statewide basis, probationers collectively perform well over a million hours of work annually. Community service is also a program requirement for other sentencing options, such as intensive probation supervision and diversion centers.
Intensive Probation Supervision (IPS) is one of the most effective and recognized alternatives in Georgia. This program has demonstrated that serious offenders can be supervised effectively in the community. IPS is a tough form of probation which emphasizes reduced caseloads; higher levels of control, supervision, surveillance, intervention, and restrictions; and extensive use of community referrals for encouraging the personal development of the offender. The program utilizes a team supervision approach and consists of one probation officer with one to two surveillance officer(s) per team. Each team virtually ensures the capability of near daily contact with the probationer. Generally, IPS probationers are required to be employed or full-time students, to complete 100 hours of community service, to submit to random alcohoVdrug screens, and to participate in treatment and/or counseling programs. In addition, curfews are mandatory, travel is limited, and the probationer is

required to pay a fee plus other court costs. Probationers usually spend 6-12 months under IPS, and upon successful completion of the program, are transferred to regular probation supervision.
Diversion Centers provide a structured residential facility program for offenders who would have otherwise been incarcerated in prison. The diversion center provides the courts with a means of punishing the offenders for their offenses while simultaneously allowing for the provision of rehabilitative services. One strong element of the program is the requirement that residents maintain gainful employment which enables the offender to pay for his own room and board at the center, restitution to victims, continued financial support of dependents and payment of other court-ordered obligations. Residents must also complete 50 hours of community service and may participate in counseling, educational and life skills programs. When the offender successfully completes the center requirements, he is transferred to regular probation supervision.
Detention Centers are used for the express purpose of diverting from prison those persons who are in need of a more structured environment as punishment, but who are not in need of total prison con-

FY 1992 Annual Report

16

finement The mission of the center is to provide short term (60-120 days) minimum security confinement for probationers who fall within the target population. Habitual violators and offenders who have committed a nonviolent felony offense and who have not previously been committed to state custody are served by the detention center. The atmosphere is work intensive, with detainees providing non-paid labor for the community through the utilization of structured work details. Rehabilitative programs, provided by probation staff, are limited to eveniQ.g participation specifically geared to those areas identified as pertinent to the offender's criminal behavior.
Probation Boot Camps provide a very structured environment for male offenders 17-30 years old who have been convicted of a felony but have no

previous incarceration in an adult penal institution, and have no mental or physical limitations that would prevent participation in strenuous physical activity. These offenders are felt to be in need of a short period of incarceration to experience the harsh realities of prison life. The rationale for such programs is that an offender who is "shocked" by a brief prison experience will be deterred from returning to crime. The boot camps are patterned after military basic training, which involves intensive physical training and hard work, personal development, and allows for little idle or discretionary time. In the evening hours and on weekends, a major focus is given to treatment, education and life skills programs. An initial 90-day period of confinement is followed by intensive probation supervision (IPS) upon successful release from the unit

Business and Support Services

Food and Farm Services
Today's Food and Farm Services operates as a major enterprise providing coordinated procurement, production, distribution, preparation, and service of food to all state correctional facilities through a wellplanned master menu. The menu is based on the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) and provides a calorie range of approximately 2300-4000 calories per day. A registered dietitian on staff in the central office oversees, updates, and maintains the master menu.
The mission of Food and Farm Services is to provide a nutritionally sound diet to offenders at the lowest possible cost to Georgia's taxpayers and simultaneously to train offenders in on-the-job food production and processing vocational programs, thereby allowing them to offset their feeding costs.

Currently, Food and Farm Services employs about 400 people across the state. On average, approximately 2500 offenders participate each day in Food and Farm vocational program tasks ranging from caring for livestock and crops, processing meats, fruits and vegetables, warehousing and inventorying supplies, to preparing and serving meals.
The total number of meals served in FY 1992 was 25,791,801 for an average of70,662 meals served per day. This figure includes nearly 14,000 contracted meals per day for inmates at the Middle Georgia Correctional Complex in Milledgeville and the AI Burruss Correctional Training Center in Forsyth.
The department's farm program operates 10 farms, with about 5,000 acres under cultivation and another 5,000 acres in pastureland. Our farms and their products are:

chased items and USDA commodities, are warehoused, inventoried and distributed to kitchens statewide using a fleet of 11 tractor trucks, 18 trailers and a refrigerated van.
FDU must keep 56 feeding facilities stocked with food and kitchen supplies. To meet these statewide needs in FY 1992, a staff averaging eight drivers traveled nearly 415,000 miles on 2,070 different delivery trips, ensuring that facilities had adequate inventories to meet their menu requirements.
Under the inspection and certification of the Georgia Department of Agriculture, FDU's 24,000 square feet meat-processing plant provides meats for Georgia's correctional system. Its mission is to receive, process, warehouse and ship beef and pork. The meat plant also provides valuable on-the-job training for inmates assigned to the meat cutting and processing details. Four meat plant staff, along with over 60 inmates, annually receive and process about 2,500 cows and 9,200 hogs.
FDU's mission extends beyond fulfilling the needs of the state correctional facilities; it provides a service to several county facilities too. By serving as a centralized location for USDA commodity distribution, FDU receives, warehouses and fills orders for USDA commodities for the Georgia Department of Education. It supplies seven overview sites that provide emergency food assistance to the needy. FDU warehouses USDA commodities for 70 summer camp programs for children, such as Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
Centralized purchasing of products not produced on the correctional farms rounds out the remainder of the menu needs. By enforcing a master menu at all feeding facilities, our central office food service coordinator can predict far in advance of need the quantities of food to buy. Making very large bulk buys of food and kitchen supplies means very significant monetary savings to the system as quantity discounts are taken.
Overall, Food and Farm's success at being an efficient and effective operation is measured ultimately

on the inmate's plate. In FY 1992, the average meal cost for supplies and materials was $1.84 per inmate per day, or approximately 61 cents per meal. That is a reduction of over nine percent from the costs of one year ago.
This inmate is helping to prepare one ofan average of70,662 meals served each day.

FY 1992 Annual Report

Health Services
The mission of the Health Services section is to deliver health care to inmates and residents in a manner that meets constitutional and contemporary medical standards in the community.
Primary health care activities at each institution include physical assessment, sick call, medication, emergency first aid, lab and x-ray, medical records, chronic care clinics, dental care, infirmary care and health education.
Inmates also have access to such secondary and tertiary level community services as special consultation, emergency and routine hospitalization, and major medical center hospitalization.
The Augusta Correctional Medical Institution (ACMI) is crucial in the delivery of health care services throughout the system. The institution's surgical unit provides primary and secondary services. Cases requiring more specialized attention go to various community facilities.
The increase in the number of inmates and the continuing rise in the number of "ill" inmates in FY 1992 was evident in the increase of expenditures for health services (i.e., medical and dental). Expenditures rose to $43,474,414 with personnel and outside services consuming 91 percent of those expenditures. The pie chart included in this section shows the percentage of costs by five major categories.
Services were provided within the system by 681 staff persons of which 433 are contract positions through Correctional Medical Systems, Inc. In FY92 310,855 sick call encounters and 120,981 walk-in encounters were handled by staff. In addition, medications were administered, x-rays taken, lab tests performed, and inmates treated in infirmaries. Staffmg continues to be a serious problem. For existing positions, Merit System salaries continue to fall behind community salaries for nursing, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and technical support staff, forcing

the department to contract for positions currently approved. Staffmg in correctional facilities is more difficult because of the nature of the environment When salaries continue to fall behind and staffing levels are such that workloads are too burdensome, it becomes an increasingly critical situation.
Cancer, cardiac, and gastrointestinal problems have continued to be the most expensive causes of hospitalization as they have for the last five years. Respiratory problems such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have been rising into the top five most expensive and common causes of hospitalization as they have in the community. In FY 1992, circulatory problems cost (hospital bill only) the department $837,175, gastrointestinal cost $700,287, cancer cost $608,918, and respiratory problems cost $423,629.
In FY 1992, the leading expenditure for hospitalizations was AIDS. Forty-nine admissions cost $1,346,128 (hospital cost only). AZT, the primary drug for treating/delaying onset of AIDS, cost $512,501. AIDS is a very expensive disease in terms of both lives and dollars. Thirty-three inmates died of AIDS in FY 1992, an increase from 22 in FY 1991. Approximately 3.3 percent (787) of the active population on an average day were HIV positive with approximately 20 having moved into the active AIDS disease stage.
A related disease with which the department is currently challenged is tuberculosis (TB). Inmates who are HIV+ (i.e.: have antibodies to the AIDS virus present in their bloodstream) are particularly prone to developing tuberculosis as their white blood counts decline. If those who develop the disease are not quickly treated and moved into respiratory isolation rooms, the disease could spread quickly among staff and inmates. There were 19,872 skin tests for TB in FY 1992, with 13 percent showing antibodies. The active disease was present in 23 inmates of which nine were HIV+ as well. Approximately 1,000 inmates (3.97%) on an average day were positive for the TB

virus but asymptomatic. Major efforts were made to educate staff and inmates about TB and to offer testing yearly for staff and inmates. Health Services staff also were trained in identification of TB and in treatment of the disease.
The department has begun investigating the establishment of hospice options for terminal AIDS and other diseased inmates whose fmal weeks may be without adequate emotional support. Some end-stage patients are costing the department more than $100,000 each. Efforts are continuing to identify the

disease early to reduce impact on the inmate and to reduce costs. The programs for identification and treatment of AIDS and TB are comprehensive and working well.
However, as we continue to receive more ill inmates, adjustments will have to be made not only to increase staff but to increase staff with specialties in disease treatment to help reduce acute episodes and to control costs.
In February 1992, the department hired its first full-time medical director, Dr. James Hipkens.

Mental Health Services

Program Services

Mental Health Services provides mental health and mental retardation care to offenders who have diagnosable and treatable mental disorders. While the section provides the care, it takes a combined effort of the medical, programs, and security staffs to treat and manage the seriously mentally disordered inmate.
Over 800 beds located in 12 correctional facilities are allocated for the mental health population. These units provide a supportive living environment for mentally disordered offenders who usually function in the general population, although some inmates receive treatment while in general population.
The department continues to have difficulty in providing new beds for the expanding mental health population. It is quite evident that not only are the numbers growing, but the inmates are more ill and are requiring more services. As the inmate population has grown, we have not realized a growth in staff to address the increase. Additionally, recruiting and retaining psychiatric consultants continues to be a challenge.
One significant accomplishment during FY 1992 is the completion of the Correctional Industries program for mentally retarded inmates at Georgia Women's Correctional Institution through a grant from the National Institute of Corrections. Another accomplishment is the development of an expansion plan to address the need for new beds and staff.

Program Services includes counseling, recreation, education, library, chaplaincy, volunteers and T.I.E. (training, industries and education). These services are essential to the safe and orderly management of offender populations. They provide meaningful activities and close supervision of offenders in manageable groups. Additionally, programs target changing behaviors and attitudes to produce individuals who can effectively function in society and not return to prison.
This year Program Services designed and implemented a new approach to reduce inmate idleness at Level V close security institutions where security status of the population precludes assignment to outside work details. The Level V program plan uses computer scheduling and an interdisciplinary team approach to provide a balanced treatment program for 50-100 percent more inmates. By more constructively employing the inmates' time, the result should be a more productive and better disciplined offender population which will help ensure the safety and security of the institutions and promote long-term behavioral changes. The Level V program plan was first implemented at Valdosta Correctional Institution, and has been successful at reducing inmate idleness.

Volunteers
More than 3,000 citizen volunteers work in Georgia's correctional institutions. Volunteers serve as nonsalaried staff under the direction of facility administrators, providing offender services which reduce idleness, change negative behavior and assist in the post-release transition from incarceration to the community.
Inside the prison walls, offenders are alienated from society, cut off from family support and removed from a sense of responsibility to their communities. Volunteers bridge this gulf during incarceration, providing a sense of connection to the outside world while serving as literacy tutors, Twelve-Step sponsors, drama directors, Bible study leaders, and in many other capacities which supplement the care and treatment programs provided by department employees.
Over 6,000 offenders attend Twelve-Step groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotic Anonymous each week at state, county and probation facilities led by volunteers.
Volunteers provided almost 43,000 hours of service at an estimated savings of $269,000 to state taxpayers.

Substance Abuse
The Substance Abuse section develops statewide policy and programming in the area of substance abuse for offenders in institutions and community corrections. During the past year 11,071 offenders participated in various substance abuse programs, and there was an average weekly attendance of 4,358 at AA and NA meetings throughout the system.
The Comprehensive Substance Abuse Plan was adopted by the management team, and the multilevel treatment approach implemented. The plan includes assessment, drug education and several levels of treatment services for offenders with substance abuse problems.

The Substance Abuse Treatment Program (Level ll) was expanded to include Hays Correctional Institution and plans are underway to expand this basic treatment program to other facilities. A basic substance abuse education curriculum (Level I) is being developed to give all inmates and probationers an introduction to substance abuse prevention.
The I. Carrell Larmore Detention Center came on-line as the third therapeutic community treatment program (Level Ill) in the agency. The six-month program combines a boot camp orientation with an intensive treatment component which includes a stateof-the-art ropes course to build self-esteem and reinforce recovery skills.

Group and individual counseling assists offenders with drug and alcohol abuse problems.

Georgia Correctional Industries

As a component of the state's prison system, Georgia Correctional Industries (GCO is a public corporation, wholly owned by the state, which manufactures 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 $16,649,734 in sales for FY 1992. Two new manufacturing facilities were started in FY 1992, Optical at Hays Correctional Institution and Embroidery (uniform patches) at Montgomery Correctional Institution.
By utilizing inmate labor in its production phases, GCI can manufacture numerous items at a greater cost savings than can outside companies. Consequently,

GCI' 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 provides job skills development for the 1,140 inmates involved in the production phases.
Again by law, inmates under supervision of the Georgia Department of Corrections cannot be paid for their labor. However, the skill and experience gained with the Industries programs have proven 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 program.
The chart on the facing page outlines the diversification of GCI and the availability of GCI work for interested inmates.

Management and Budget

Budget
Fiscal year 1992 began with a state appropriation of $496.6 million. Included in the appropriation were start-up funds for Washington, Johnson and Autry Cis and for Larmore and Women's Detention Centers with full-year funding for Hancock and Telfair Cis. Also appropriated were construction funds for boot camps at five facilities and for the construction and equipping of a parole facility in Homerville.
A special session was called as a result of declining state revenues. In September, in HB l-ex, the Department of Corrections' appropriation was reduced by $51.8 million or a 10.4 percent reduction. The General Assembly abolished 958 positions in the department. Key cuts of 131 positions were taken in the central support function, which includes Engineering, Personnel, Facilities Operations and many other units. More cuts were also taken in inmate institutions and probation operations, 324 and 328, respectively.
Openings were delayed for Hancock, Telfair, Washington, Johnson and Autry Cis. Another major reduction came with the elimination of 175 tower positions in institutions, which was to be made possible by authorizing an electronic perimeter monitoring system at 13 institutions for an estimated cost of $3.6 million. Many other cuts were made to the agency. Among them were: 82 vehicles cut, chaplaincy services converted to contracts, medical cuts, and care and custody standard modifications.
When the General Assembly convened in January, the department sustained an additional $4.4 million reduction due to a change in the health insurance rate. Following the session, the Office of Planning and Budget required the department to further reserve an

additional $5 million in order to balance the state budget. The department effectively sustained a $61 million reduction (12%) from the beginning appropriation for FY 1992.
On the positive side, the actual number of employees cut from GDC was relatively low compared with the total cut, due to vacancies. Also, due to the perimeter fencing project, perimeter security at many older facilities was upgraded to include a second fence as well as the special electronic detection systems and older modular housing units were eliminated.
Engineering and Maintenance
Never in the history of the Engineering and Maintenance section has there been such a period of abrupt change. The reduction-in-force left the section with few staff to complete the tremendous tasks ahead.
In spite of the budget cuts, the Engineering and Maintenance section has many accomplishments to reflect upon. Several major institutions were completed, including Hancock CI; Washington CI; Autry CI; Johnson CI; Calhoun CI; Phillips CI, Phase II; and the Colony Farm modular replacement.
The Inmate Mobile Construction Unit completed the first phase of the Governor's Comprehensive Boot Camp Program (Phillips Boot Camp, Hays Boot Camp and Telfair Boot Camp) and another phase which consists of stand-alone boot camps at Emanuel, Lanier and Mitchell counties is in progress.

37

FY 1992 Annual Report

Also completed this fiscal year was the Homerville school renovation, security barracks at the Governor's Mansion, cottages in Hart County for the Department of Natural Resources, weight stations in Forsyth for the Department of Transportation, a flammable storage building at the Moultrie Probation Detention Center, exercise pens at Arrendale Cl, crosscountry pipe and sanitary sewer outfall at Hays CI, a dormitory addition at Milan Women's Center, an office renovation at Milledgeville, locks and gate controls at Ware and Valdosta Cis and installation of a grade beam at Telfair CI.
Perimeter security fence erections were begun at ACMI, Central CI, Coastal CI, Dodge Cl, Eastman YDF, Hancock CI, Lee Cl, Metro Cl, Rivers CI, Rutledge CI and Telfair CI.
Inmate construction is just beginning to show its full potential to state government and as a result is now performing work for various other agencies such as the Georgia State Patrol, Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Georgia Revenue Department, Department of Administrative Services, Department of Natural Resources, Georgia Building Authority and Department of Transportation with great success. The group has tightly organized and consolidated to effectively become a single inhouse construction company with typical technical and project management support from engineers and accounting/purchasing support.
A statewide preventive maintenance program is being developed to ensure that facilities and equipment will remain operable. Projects in excess of $2,000,000 are underway or in planning stages.

Management Information Systems
The Management Information Systems (MIS) section provides services in the areas of software application development and support, computer training to assist in how to use computers within our agency, computer purchasing and setup, and operational support which provides assistance on how specific computer programs singular to our agency are used in particular work areas. The MIS section also provides a customer support function (or Help Desk) which offers first line assistance and problem tracking/ resolution services to the agency's computer users through providing a statewide phone number to agency staff for problem reporting.

installing local area networks (LANs) in these probation facilities.
Offender Tracking Information System-Made several major enhancements{rmprovements to the agency's Offender Tracking Information System (OTIS), specifically aimed at streamlining operations at field site locations as well as in the central office. One major enhancement significantly improves the efficiency of the diagnostic and classification process by taking full advantage of electronic transfer of field information to Central Office. Another enhancement to OTIS provides enhanced information about offenders, office/supervisor workloads and facility utilization to Community Corrections Division personnel.

Specific accomplishments in FY 1992 include:
Information Systems Steering CommitteeEstablished an agencywide Information Systems (IS) Steering Committee comprised of one individual from each division (including Correctional Industries) directly appointed by the associated deputy commissioner. The committee is charged with directing the priorities of the Information Systems function, thereby allocating MIS resources toward the areas which will provide the greatest agencywide benefit. Associated with the IS Steering Committee, the agency has established a "network" of individuals at all physical field site locations and major operational areas of Central Office, responsible for two-way communications of information systems-related issues between field sites and the IS Steering Committee/MIS section.
Probation Accounting System--Developed and implemented an accounting system for use in the agency's 84 probation offices which are responsible for receiving, accounting for, and disbursing funds paid by offenders to cover probation fees, victim's restitution and court fees. This effort included configuring and

Food Service Inventory System--Completed development of a major system for use by the agency's Food and Farm Services section. The system addresses inventory management, menu planning and costing information for all of the agency's feeding facilities.
Inmate Scheduling-Developed a new inmate scheduling system which has been implemented in over five institutions. The system provides detailed information on inmate schedules in such areas as medical, vocational/educational classes, job training, etc. and can be used to better project specific specialized staffing requirements for an institution.
Facility Start-ups-Actively participated in physical plant wiring and provided for information systems procurement and set-up for all new institutions opened in FY 1992.
Training-Provided over 100 computer training classes to over 1100 agency staff.
Customer Service Center--Received and resolved over 5,400 calls for support from agency field site personnel.

39

FY 1992 Annual Report

Boot Camp Query System Pilot.-Developed and implemented a system to provide the agency with a new means of information collection and inquiry from that used previously. The new method, currently in production use by the agency, is now being implemented in other areas within tl:'e a~1ency (such as the personnel/human resources function) to allow staff direct access to data which previously required computer software programming techniques to retrieve the same data.
GCIC Interface-This program provides a more direct link between the Georgia Criminal Information Center data and GDC's Offender Tracking Information System. Criminal history, physical description and other information will be transferred directly to GDC. Through working with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (OBI), the agency now has direct access to upto-date criminal history information directly from the OBI computer. Previously, this was accomplished by the department formally requesting the information from OBI, receiving it in printed format, and then physically reentering the information into the agency's computer system. This process required from two to six weeks for completion. This information is now available "on-line" for access by GDC personnel within institutions as well as within the Central Office, and is used particularly within the diagnostic and classification process.
E-Mail and other communications advancesElectronic mail allows the system user to send a message to a number of others all at the same time. The initiator can send the message, check to see if the message has been read, and receive responses all at his own terminal. This is an effective way to send a request for information to all institutions at the same time. This tool is being deployed to notify institutions of pending inmate transfers, eliminating the use of costly Teletype equipment and additional communications costs.

In support of the agency's continued expansion of operations at a time when staffing increases are minimal, the MIS section has several major, ambitious projects scheduled for FY 1993. These include:
-The physical communications rewiring of a majority of the agency's correctional facilities to provide stable systems access to both localized and statewide information.
-Major rewrites and software enhancements to the agency's inmate/offender oriented systems at correctional facility field sites.
-The development of more advanced technology to support future systems availability and to provide easier access by agency staff to current data.
-Expanded use of electronic mail (E-Mail) capabilities as more field locations are connected to the agency's communications network and provided with additional computer equipment.
-An enhancement to the current Offender Tracking Information System which will make use of fmgerprint information available from the OBI's automated fingerprint identification system. This will allow for more efficient identification of an incarcerant during the diagnostic process and will allow the agency to stop fmgerprinting inmates within that process. This makes use of the GCIC interface technology, developed in FY 1992.
