Mission Statement
The mission of the Georgia Department of Corrections is to protect the public, serve victims of crime and reduce crimes committed by sentenced offenders by holding offenders accountable and providing safe and secure facilities, effective community supervision, and effective methods of self-improvement for offenders.T

From the Commissioner
Our primary mission is protecting the citizens of Georgia by incarcerating 45,000 inmates and supervising 125,000 probationers. It's a difficult task, but we do it well thanks to the professionalism, dedication and hard work of our more than 14,000 employees. I cannot express my appreciation enough for the men and women of this Department who go to work every day in our prisons and probation offices across the state. It's through their efforts that this Department operates one of the most secure and dependable correctional systems in the nation.
Fiscal year 2001 was another year of growth for our inmate population as we added more than 1,700 inmates to our prison system. The growth of the Georgia inmate population, like most other states, is not caused by an influx of new prison admissions, but by inmates staying in prison longer than ever before. We experienced a slight decline in our probation population from about 130,000 to 125,000 as 2000's SB474 took effect mid-year. SB474 removed the probation division's responsibility for supervising misdemeanor probationers, allowing us to focus our resources exclusively on felony probationers.
In Georgia, our vision includes sufficient numbers of hard prison beds to house hardened criminals who prey on society. Our vision includes expanding the array of sentencing options for our judges and prosecutors that match the offender and the crime. Finally, our vision includes offering help to those offenders who want to help themselves. During the past year we created a programs division within the Department to offer evidence-based, proven correctional programs to those inmates and probationers who want to take the steps necessary to change their lives.
Our goal at Corrections is a diverse system of retribution, restitution and reparation. Fiscal year, 2001 marked the second year of an ambitious four year plan to not only add prison beds, but also enhance sentencing options like diversion centers, detention centers, transitional centers, and evidence-based correctional programming. We are grateful to Governor Barnes, the members of the General Assembly and the taxpayers of this state who have all supported our efforts to implement a more balanced approach to Georgia's system of crime and punishment.
Sincerely,
Jim Wetherington, Commissioner

Corrections in 2001

The agency's strategic direction is to efficiently improve the operation of our facilities, effectively supervise those offenders on probation, and collaborate with the courts, other criminal justice agencies, and the public to keep all Georgians safe.

A Balanced Approach
Our challenge for the 21st century is to strike a balance between "hard beds" for prisoners who warrant high security supervision and alternative beds for those offenders who could better benefit from a short-term center.
Community corrections is a vital component of Georgia's Criminal Justice System. In FY01, Corrections sought to continue probation through funding for new centers, new personnel and additional resources, including construction of Georgia's first in-patient probation drug treatment facility.
Technology Georgia Governor Roy
Barnes has mandated that all state agencies work to better inform the public, especially through electronic technology like the Internet.
Last year, the Department continued the expansion of our web site. Now, criminal justice agencies and

the public can access Corrections' database of photos and criminal backgrounds of current inmates as well as inmates released in recent years. Visitors can also view
a virtual tour of a prison cellblock and request information about Corrections online. Crime victims can register for notification if their attacker is ever released, and the public can download job announcements and state applications. Legislators, students, the

media and other interested parties are now able to quickly access important Correctional statistics, studies, and research reports.
The GDC website, www.dcor.state.ga.us receives approximately 10 million "hits" per month.
Budget Corrections'
budget in FY01 was $887 million. Not only is the offender population growing in number, it's also getting older and in poorer health. In FY01, the medical portion of the budget was more than $120 million.

Inmate Population

The number of Georgia inmates almost doubled over the past decade. Tough laws and policies are keeping inmates behind bars for longer prison terms. Georgia has the nation's 8th-largest prison population.

Of the 45,000 inmates in prison at the end of FY01, over half were convicted of violent or sex crimes.
Half of Georgia's inmates have a 10th grade or lower education, were raised with no father at home, have a high incidence of alcohol and drug abuse, and were previously incarcerated.

Security

Almost half of the cost per offender in a state facility is allocated for security, which includes the costs for correctional officers, their equipment, and their training.

Georgia inmates are assigned to a security level after a review of factors such as inmate's sentence, nature of the crime, criminal history, and history of violence.

Maximum Security
Dangerous inmates who pose a high escape risk, or have other serious problems, are assigned to this category and are housed in prisons with high levels of security.

Health Services

Basic health care for all inmates is a Constitutionally-required mandate. In FY01, health care costs were $100 million. To help offset those increasing costs, the Department is expanding its telemedicine program and is continuing its interagency relationship with the Medical College of Georgia.

Personnel
Central Personnel Administration develops , coordinates, monitors, evaluates, and administers personnel functions for the department's 14, 791 employees.
Workforce Planning is an integral part of the strategic planning process. The GDC is required to develop and implement a workforce plan that will allow it to make accurate projections on future staffing needs and how to best meet these needs. In FY 2001, Personnel staff completed Phase 1 of the process. This phase examined the mission and vision of the department to identify new and atrisk opportunities and how to address these opportunities. The result was a workforce plan that was praised by the Merit System for its thoroughness and conciseness.
Recruitment and Testing efforts focused on aggressive recruitment for jobs with continuous vacancies such as Correctional Officer, Probation Officer, Counselor, and Food Service Supervisor. While agency recuiting tools such as the website and toll-free job information line continue to be productive applicant sources, GDC recruiters "hit the road" during the year, recruiting and testing more applicants (9,113) than in previous years. All testing sites for Correctional Officers were converted to walk-in testing sites beginning in December 2000, thereby eliminating scheduling delays. The Correctional Officer application for examination was replaced by a scannable application reducing the application processing time from the 2 to 3 weeks previously experienced to just a few days.
GDC Plus personnel staff spearheaded and coordinated the design and development of a substantially simpler, quicker, and more refined performance planning and evaluation process for the department, GDC Plus. A hallmark of GDC Plus is the "PMF Short Form" and its accompanying job performance rating elements, which eliminate the need for supervisors to write lengthy documentation and provide supervisors with precise, well-defined performance measures.
Employee Relations personnel staff worked to address the personnel needs, problems and issues of individual GDC employees through a variety of programs and services. During the year, Employee Asssistance Program (EAP) consultations/referrals and Critical Incident Debriefings (CID) numbered 142. A total of 218 formal employee grievances were reviewed and processed through the GDC's grievance system. There were 134 employee written reprimand review/appeals completed.

Putting Inmates to Work
To help repay their debt to society, inmates work up to eight hours per day in the prisons, on community details, on prison farms and in on-the-job training programs.

Food and Farm The Food and Farm
Operation trains inmates in food production and processing. Three thousand inmates work in prison kitchens, processing plants and on the prison farms to help provide over 36 million inmate meals annually.
Improvements to prison farming and food processing has cut the average cost of an inmate meal to $1.60 per day in FY01, down from $2.03 per day ten years ago in FY91.
Most of the vegetables, meats, eggs, and milk consumed by Georgia inmates are produced and processed

on Georgia's prison farms. Inmate Construction
Inmate construction crews serve the construction needs of Corrections, other state agencies and communities. Inmates reno-

Correctional Industries
An entirely self-supporting component of the agency, Georgia Correctional Industries (GCI) manufactures products for sale to tax-supported entities.

In FY01, GCI's 20 manufacturing operations located at 16 prisons generated over $28 million in sales. On any given day, over 1,800 inmates are assigned to jobs in GCI operations which include metal fabrication, optics, printing, license plates, footwear, woodworking, screen printing, upholstery, garment and chemical production.
GCI inmates learn valuable trade skills for use upon release. GCI manufactures quality products, as evidenced by sales to taxsupported entities as far away as Alaska.

"The measure of GCI's success lies not only in its sales, but also in the trade skills taught to inmates who manufacture a quality product."

Victim Advocacy
Victims of crime often continue to need services long after the offender has been convicted and sentenced. The Georgia Department of Corrections, Office of Victim Services offers post conviction support and assistance to crime victims. The mission of the Office of Victim Services is to work to ensure the rights and concerns of Crime Victims are recognized and protected during the correctional process.

V.I.N.E. is a 24-hour automated information system used by the Georgia Department of Corrections to provide registered victims and/or their families with access to information about their offender. By simply picking up a telephone and dialing the toll-free V.I.N.E. number, victims can obtain information regarding the status of an inmate.
V.I.N.E. also operates as a notification system. Through computer generated telephone calls, victims who have registered with the Georgia Department of Corrections will automatically receive notification of the release of their offender from custody.
During FY01, the Office of Victim Services had registered 4,857 victims of
crime requesting notification of the release of their offender from the custody of Corrections.

Death Penalty in Georgia

A law, passed in FY00, changed the legal method of execution in Georgia from electrocution to lethal injection, effective for crimes committed on or after May 1, 2000. Anyone who commits a capital crime and receives a death sentence, will be executed by lethal injection.
In Georgia, 23 men have been executed since the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Georgia's death penalty in 1976.

Cobb County has the highest number of inmates on death row, followed by Muscogee and Douglas counties.

Georgia had 124 inmates on death row by the end of FY01. Whites comprise 52 percent of the condemned inmates and blacks make up the remaining 48 percent.
All male death row inmates are incarcerated at the Georgia Diagnostic and

Classification Prison in Jackson. One female is on death row at Metro State Prison in Atlanta.
No inmates were executed in FY2001.

Probation Supervision

Georgia uses the RiskBased Supervision Model where all probationers are placed in one of three programs (IPS, SPS, and Regular Probation), and in one of four different classification levels (Max, High, Standard, and Administrative).
Intensive Probation Supervision (IPS)
Offenders who are court-ordered to IPS have significant substance abuse and/or violence problems. This 5 percent of the probation population requires very close supervision by specially trained teams of officers.
Specialized Probation Supervision (SPS)
This program is for sex offenders and for offenders who victimize children. This 5 percent of the probation population also requires close supervision by officers.
Regular Probation The remaining 90 per-
cent of probationers are mostly felony probationers who are evaluated to be of lower risk to the public. Probation officers' caseloads for regular probation average 270 per officer.

Max 7% High 9%
Standard 49%
Administrative 35%
Probation Caseloads by Supervision Level
Probationers are Managed According to their Risk and Needs
Max: Violent offenders, sexual offenders, predators against children, and other extremely risky offenders.
High: Career criminals, violent offenders, predators, and others with significant risk to the community.
Standard: Mostly nonviolent offenders and those who still owe court-ordered monies. This category may include violent offenders who have shown adherence to the conditions of probation.
Administrative: Offenders who have met all financial obligations and those who have been moved to administrative (non-reporting) status in accordance with state law.

Collections
Probation officers also collect fines, monetary restitution for the crime victims, and fees which are forwarded to the state treasury. Probation collections of courtordered fees and fines continue to rise.
In addition to supervising and monitoring probationers in the community, in FY01 the Probation Division collected $51 million from probationers in fines, costs, fees, restitution, and Georgia Crime Victim Emergency Fund fees. In addition, probation officers enforce court orders for community service which totaled more than $8 million.

Community Service
Probationers are ordered to perform community service as a condition of probation, or in lieu of fines, jail, or prison. This work repays the community, builds partnerships, and reinforces the work ethic.
In addition to program participation or fees and fines, probationers may be ordered to perform unpaid work for the good of the community.
Community service work often takes the form of unskilled labor such as collecting litter on roadsides, mowing grass, and working in recycling centers. Yet, if a probationer has a special trade, such as a computer or technological ability, he or she may be required to perform a higher skilled community service job.

Probation Programs
To ensure public safety and change in the offender, the Probation Division is putting a major emphasis on substance abuse treatment and probationer employment.

Probation offers the offender the opportunity for change outside of a prison environment. Some, however, may relapse into drug use or may otherwise need additional assistance to prevent re-offending. Here are a few examples of probation programs at work:
A joint project of Probation and the State Board of Pardons and Parole, the Atlanta Day Reporting Center is a facility for those probationers and parolees who fail to adhere to the conditions of their sentences.
Opened in 2001, the center's primary emphasis is on substance abuse and cogni-

tive skills development. The Bainbridge Substance
Abuse Residential Center, also opened in 2001, is a nine-
month residential substance abuse program for probationers who are unable to manage substance abuse issues through community counseling, and who are on

the verge of revocation to prison.
The Griffin Recovery Intervention Probation Program
(GRIPP) provides services to substance abusing probationers including drug and alcohol therapy, classes on life skills, personal counseling and case management.
William Larkey, Chief Probation Officer, Griffin Judicial circuit states, "GRIPP is a tough, no-nonsense program which gives probationers the opportunity to improve their lives through drug treatment, life skills, and employment programs. GRIPP benefits not only the probationer, but more importantly, helps keep our community safe."

"The Probation Division is striving to promote public safety through providing higher quality supervision while implementing research based risk reduction programs to our offenders. Our service to the courts and our posture within the law enforcement community continue to be high priorities for the Probation Division." Alan Adams, Probation Division Director
