REPORT
TO HIS EXCELLENCY, THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA, ELLIS ARNALL AND TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
STATE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION
Administrative Office
Atlanta, Georgia
During the fiscal year 1944-1945, definite progress has been made. in setting up proper control files on prisoners' time, release dates, escapes, and on individual prisoners' records including health reports, finger print returns and personal description data. These improved administrative procedures have enabled the State Department to know more concerning the prisoners under the Department's custody, to have available necessary data in the event of escapes and to know exactly when, with good time earnings, prisoners are due for release either at the expiration of their minimum entences or after they have served their full time. This control system on release dates has enabled the Department to issue discharges promptly and the dissemination of information concerning prisoners' time has served to them as a great morale builder in connection with the new prison program.
The Department through its inspection service has advised with the County Commissioners and the Wardens of the various public works camps concerning matters of discipline, prisoner welfare, in improvements in sanitation and in the physical properties of the camps. The inspectors, three in number, visit the camps on an average of once every sixty days and written reports as to their findings on each camp are made. As a result of the inspection reports letters are written to the Wardens and the Chairmen of the Commissioners in the counties, with suggested improvements based on the inspector's recommendations or commendation in the event of exceptional progress being noted in the method of operation of the camp or in the matter of physical improvement.
It is the responsibility of the State Department of Corrections to move from the county jails those prisoners who have been duly convicted and whose service of sentence has been determined by the Director of Corrections to be at the Georgia State Prison. The removal of such prisoners to the Georgia State Prison is handled by the one transfer agent employed by the Department who also has the duty of returning individuals from other states whose extradition has been granted as fugitives from the Georgia State Prison. The return of prisoners who have escaped from county public work camps and who are

l

being extradited from other states, is effected through county officials or through special arrangement by them with the state, county or city police agencies with the approval of the Department. The expense in returning prisoners who have escaped from the Georgia State Prison or from county camps or other insti. tutions which are no longer in operation, is borne by the State Department of Corrections and the expense of returning escapes from operating county work camps is borne by the counties from which they escaped.
The Department of Corrections is proud to bring to the attention of the Gov. enor and the General Assembly that during the past fiscal year in every case where the extradition of a prisoner was requested, it was granted by the State having him in custody. We feel that this is a distinct tribute to the Department of Corrections and to the new prison program in Georgia.
The premises occupied by the State Department of Corrections have been thoroughly renovated, remodeled and repainted during the past year and the office space divided in such way as to lend privacy to the officials of the De. partment and to promote efficiency on the part of the employees in connection with their work. Some new office furr:iture has supplanted that which was in many cases. worn out, aTitiquated and unsatisfactory. Additional modern equipment for the operation of the office including a mimeograph machine, a ditto card machine and typewriters has been purchased.
Good administration demands that accounting records be kept which are accurate and which reflect the daily financial condition of the Department or any of the institutions operating under it. In an effort to secure such for the Department and for its institutions, there has been set up a cost accounting system which carries a perpetual inventory covering the operations of the Department in Atlanta and the two institutions comprising the Georgia State Primns in Tattnall County.
Serving a dual purpose in advising the public as to the progress made in con nection with the new prison program and also as a medium in promoting good will among the citizens of Georgia, the Director and his assistants carried a report of progress to the citizens of Georgia through the medium of radio stations throughout the State during the month of December 1944, and through frequent newspaper articles appearing in papers over the State the public has been advised as to the advances made.

GEORGIA STATE PRISONS
MALE AND FEMALE INSTITUTIONS
CUSTODIAL SECURITY

At the beginning of the fiscal year 1944-1945 there were five major difficulties in the way of successfully operating the two state prisons in Tattnall County, one for males and the other for females.
These five difficulties were custodial security, segregation, vocational training, inadequate facilities, and the stabilizing of maintenance cost~.
The report of the last fiscal year set forth the deplorable state of the prison property both in the male and the female institutions when the new prison program was inaugurated in November 1943. Unfortunately, due to war-time conditions, long delays were experienced in securing necessary materials and it was not until well into this fiscal year that the actual security of the prison was accomplished. Locks and locking devices had to be installed in every unit throughout the male and female prisons. These materials did not reach the prisnr1 with peace-time regularity and therefore, it took months to adequately secure the individual cells and the cell blocks, which work in normal times could have been accomplished in a matter of weeks.
Frequent escapes had occurred because fencing around the prison, particularly at critical points, was inadequate. It was therefore necessary to construct a new fence at a distance of twenty five (25) feet from the original fence around the entirP prison area. This fence was completed in December 1944 and ftom that date to the present, no attempt has been made to escape from the prison area within the fence.
It was also necessary to further secure the prison by addition offive new guard towers properly spaced around the entire prison compound. These towers were so located as to eliminate weak spots along the fenced area and it is now felt that from a custodial standpoint, the prison area has heen adequately secured.
The custodial problem was further aggravated by a serious shortage in man power. Men with no prison experience whatsoever were employed and although considerable progress IJas been m::tde in the training of th'! custodial force. it is a regrettable fact that the type custodial officer employed at the close of the fiscal year had not reached the standard of efficiency which a prisJn of this size dcm:mds.

Page

The custodial force itself, however, has been improved greatly in character and efficiency. This fiscal year has demonstrated conclusively that good pay and better housing conditions contribute materially to the stabilizing of the custodial personnel.

SEGREGATION

In seeking to comply with the provisions of the Act creating the State Department of Corrections with regard to segregation of juveniles, it has become increasingly difficult during this fiscal year to meet the requirements.
At the Georgia State Prison, male juveniles have been segregated insofar as the existing facilities will permit. Separate sleeping quarters and work details have been in use but it is clear that it is impossible to segregate, in keeping with the intent of the law, the first offenders from the hardened criminals within the confines of a single structure.
The total number of juvenile prisoners both male and female has risen steadily and during this fiscal year six hundred and twenty-nine (629) juveniles ranging in age from twelve (12) to eighteen (18) years have been confined within the Georgia State Prison System. A review of the statistical data on juveniles in this report will reveal how grave the situation really is as it pertains to juveniles.
There were four hundred and seventy-six (.{76) juveniles incarcerated in the Georgia State Prison System June 30, 1945, which represents approximately 10 o/o of all prisoners confined. Of the four hundred and seventy-six (476) two hundred and sixty-six (266) were first offenders.
The problem of segregation has been made more difficult because the incorrigible prisoners from all the county public works camps have been sent to the Georgia State Prison in ever-increasing numbers. The wardens in county camps request the transfer and in all instances their requests are granted. The net result, however, is that the Georgia State Prison is steadily becoming an institution for incorrigibles, the aged and the invalid. The physical limitations of the building itself will soon prohibit further attempts at segregation.
Segregation, however, is not confined merely to juveniles from the hardened and vicious criminals but to mental and tubercular cases incarcerated in the two state prisons.

Page

6

During the year all prisoners who showed signs of mental defection or derangement as well as all tubercular cases have been sent to the Georgia State Prison out of county public works camps. Every effort possible has been made to provide adequate treatment for these prisoners. The facilities at the prison are unsuited and the medical staff unprepared for the treatment of mental cases ar,d tubercular cases. These unfortunate prisoners have been segregated in cell blocks and have been given such treatment as the medical staff at the prison could give them.
In cooperation with the State Department of Pubiic Health a movement was begun toward the close of the fiscal year which promises to relieve the tubercular situation as far as treatment goes. EffortR have been made to secure competent psyehiatrists to visit the prison and treat the mentally defective and deranged prisoners until adequate facilities can be provided elsewhere.
From the above it can readily be seen that if segregation is to be practiced in line with progressive penal thought, new buildings must be provided for juveniles and hospitalization must be secured for the mentally diseased and the tubercular cases. These needs are set forth fully in the section of this report dealing with recommendations.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING

In the matter of vocational training looking toward the ultimate rehabilitation of our prison population, progress has been maue.
In the male prison work details have heen arranged for training purposes. During the year numerous prisoners have been ~ssigned to details where they have been inRtructed in the rudiments of the building trades as well as receiving experience and training in laundry operations, bake shop, print shop, electrical work and machinist work.
In the female prison a sizeable garment factory has been put in operation and in all there have been forty or fifty women employed at the machines. These have been moved from machine tu machine as their experience and training permitted. The number of operators has been supplemented steadily from classes in sewing room instruction which has fifteen inmates on roll at all times. It can therefore be seen that good progress has been made in the matter of instruction and progress in teaching the female inmates the proper use of machines in a modern garment factory. In addition to the garment factory many of the female inmates have had instruction~'\ in quilt making, crocheting, knitting and rug weaving.

Page

Classes have been in continuous operation in home nursing, home arts, cooking and serving food. From the standpoint of academic education regular classes have been conducted during the year with an enrollment of 187 in the basic subjects of English. arithmetic, personal hygiene and classes for white and colored who were illiterate when admitted to the institution.
Suitable recreation has been provided for the female inmates both indoor and outdoor activity. The recreational program at both institutions has progressed satisfactorily. Layouts have been made for a comprehensive vocatioral program wl1en the machinery and perwnnel are available. The next fiscal year should see thes? plans in operation.
An auditorium has been provided in each institution where Religious Services and Entertainment of one type or another, consisting mainly of movies, have been carried on.

INADEQUATE FACILITIES

During the previous fiscal year there had been a very definite effort made to provide for the physical property needs at both institutions. It is a well known fact that all construcLion during this period, other than war work, was considerably handicapped because of lack of workmen and the scarcity of crit ical materials. However, a sizeable building program had been started in the third quarter of the previous fiscal year and during this fiscal year it was possible to complete construction on twenty-one (21) units at a cost of $ 144,227.69 as set forth in the financial section of this repJrt. In ::d.dition to these units there were seventeen (17) new houses completed and occupied by the personnell employed at the prison. It was also necessary to re:nodel five (5) of the existing houses and these were converted into duplex units ,vhich increased our housing facilities in all to twenty-two (22) new units.
Considerable attention had to be given in the women's building, to the freezing plant f:-tcilities, to the installation of the garment factory and to the need for an auditorium for group meetings of a religious or recreational nature. It was also necessary to install new equipment in the kitchen to replace worn out stoves which aside from being fire hazards were definitely unfit for use in any institution.
The power plant at the male prison was reconditioned insofar as materials could be secured. However, the power house is inadequate to proJuce sufficient power to meet the needs of the expanded facilities of both prisons and will need to be enlarged.
A sizeable sum of money had been spe:1t the previous year for the purchase of an excellent Jersey herd in order to provide milk for the needs of both prisons. The exi~ting barns were unsuited for the production of clean milk and during this fiscal year one new concrete block milking shed was completed and another was 85o/a complete with a capacity of one hundred (100) cows and a pasteurizing plant.

Page

Additional facilities for the storage of feed stuff, fertilizer and other commodities used in the prison were provided. A feed room which also houses a feed mixer and at the saw mill a kiln and drying shed were erected. These and other items are listed in the financial section of this report showing the cost on each item. Throughout the year construction of additional facilities has been held to an absolute minimum. Only those facilities which would en~ able the prison to operate more efficiently were provided. Much patching was done in order to tide over the war period and to economize wherever possible.

STABILIZING MAINTENANCE COSTS

Due to the drastic increase in food and maintenance costs generally, and in particular in the area where the state prisons are located whieh saw a 28% increase over normal costs, every effort has been made to prevent extravagance and waste in the purchase and in the use of all food stuff, clothing and sup~ plies needed by the prisons.

With the beginning of the fiscal year a continuous inventory control had been established and by the first of the following quarter it was in full operation. A central control was also established at the begi:r.ming of the fiscal year for all cost records at the prison and by the b~ginning of the second quarter a complete cost accounting system with central control was in operation.

These two new features of control were put in effect with the definite purpose of reducing and holding to an absolute minimum the operation and maintenance costs of both prisons. By exercising every precaution to prevent waste and to encourage practical economy on the part of all officials at the prison, there has been a net saving of $123,034.03.

The net saving has not been due to limiting, in any way, the basic needs of all inmates at the prison. These inmates have been well fed and well clothed; however, losses had occurred during the previous year for lack of proper storage facilities which were corrected to such an extent that the loss and waste due to poor storage has been reduced to an absolute minimum.

The reduction can also be attributed to the fact that we have been able to improve our transportation facilities by an additional truck of sizeable capacity which enabled us to buy in larger quantities and thus reduce costs.

Page

9

A large part of the reduction in cost can also be attributed to the fact that our garment factory has been in operation and we have produced since September 1944 all the dresses, work clothing and under garments worn by female prisoners since that time. Since September it has also been possible to manufacture all clothing worn by the male prisoners which heretofore was an outright expenditure as no appreciable amount of clothing had been made at the prison. The value of clothing, etc. manufactured at the prison this year amounts to $15,346.76; however, had these materials been bought at market price the cost would have been considerably greater.
As can be SP.en from the financial statement, the farm has produced at the highest level in many years. Products consumed by the prison from the vegetable garden, the dairy herd, poultry, beef cattle and hogs has amounted to better than $65,000.00.
The canning plant has been in full operation all year and has been a source of considerable savings in food stuffs produced on the farm and garden over previous years.

The Director of Corrections feels that Warden A.C. Aderhold and his associates at the Georgia State Prison have done a splendid job during the fiscal year 19441945, not only in the actual mechanical operation of the Georgia State Prisons but also in bringing about improved conditions as to segregation, custodial security, training of inmates and better morale. The improved production on the farm at the institution speaks for itself. All the improvements at the prison, as stated above, were brought about under very serious handicaps as to both personnel and material.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF DIRECTOR FOR EXPANDED PRISON PROGRAM AND FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS AT THE GEORGIA STATE PRISON:

The completion of a wise and humane prison program for Georgia will require additional institutions to be established in the State and further improvements at the Georgia State Prisons at Reidsville, Georgia. The Director of Corrections recommends, therefore, the following as to new institutions for the State:

A. Land and Construction:
(a) The purchase of land and the construction of three male Receiving Stations conveniently located throughout the State for the reception and housing of prisoners convicted in the various counties for a period of classification as to their mental, physical and vocational needs prior to as~ignment to the state prisons or to cuunty public works camps.
(b) The purchase of approximately fifteen acres of land in central Georgia and the construction of a modern female prison with the necessary facilities for the specialized training of inmates.
(c) The purchase of suitable acreage in middle Georgia and the construction of a Trade School for worthy juvenile offenders to insure their complete seg. regation and to promote tlwir rehabilitation.
(d) The purchase of land and the construction of a security prison for inc,)rrigibles and hardened criminals whose record of crime and prison conduct indicates little, if any, chance of rehabilitation.
B. Equipment:
(a) The purchase of all necessary equipmt'nt for the efficient operation of the aforementioned institutions.
C. Personnel:
(a) The employment of necessary personnel to insure adequate operaLion of the aforementioned institutions.

Inadequate facilities have been a definite handicap at the Georgia State Prisons, Reidsville, Georgia, in carrying on the work of those institutions and also have resulted in higher cost of operation. With the suggested new institutions outlined above, the following recommendations for additional buildings and improvements at the Georgia State Prisons are made:

Page

11

1. INSTITUTIONS PROPER
A. New and Replacement Construction:
(a) Freezing and cold storage plant.
(o) Outdoor incinerator.
(c) Enlarged central warehouse (additional story and wing).
(d) If mental, tubercular, blind, crippled, diseased and other disabled prisoners are to be retained at the Georgia State Prison, a complete hospital unit for the treatment of these and other forms of physical and mental defection should be erected.
(e) Modern powerhouse and light plant.
(f) The erection of custodial officer training headquarters with recreational facilities provided.
(g) Replace two wood structures presently used for the storage of fertilizer and other farm storage with concrete block buildings m ordet to insure permanency and eliminaLe fire hazard.
(h) If and when new female prison is constructed, the present female prison should be reconverted into institution to house juvenile repeaters from hardened criminals and also providing facilities for the1r reclamation and promotion to the Trade School.
(i) To immediately install nect-ssary plumbing to insure adequate bathing and toilet facilities in the female prison brought about by increased population.
(j) In the reconversion of the present female prison for the continued housing of female prisoners or as a juvenile repeater prison, it will be necPssary to enlarge the present structure by extending the east and west wings and adding an additnnal story to eaeh of these wmgs. It will also be necessary to bring the second story across the existing garment factory to provide for an infirmary for female prisoners.

Page

12

B. Equipment: (a) The purchase and placement of tank- car capacity storage tanks for gasoline and oil on prison property to effect economy and insure steady supply.
(b) Purchase of new concrete block and cement products machinery.
(c) Purchase of milling machine, planer, grinding machine, turret lathe, contour saw and hacksaw to complete the equipment necessary for machine shop at Georgia State Prison. These additional machines would give us a machine shop badly needed for maintenance purposes and would reduce considerably the maintenance expenditures at the prison.
(d) Purchase of additional trucks for hauling freight and other transportation needs at the prison.
(e) A conveyor for unloading cars at the railroad depot.
(f) Purchase of additional office equipment including modern filing devices and bookkeeping machines for prison.
(g) If new power and light plant not installed, present coal burners should be converted to oil burners and present chimney stack replaced.
(h) Purchase and erect prison fence around area presently occupied by sawmill, grist mill and slaughter house. Also purchase and erect fence around area presently occupied by garage, cement plant and potato curing house.
The fencing of these areas will aid materially in the security program by regulating the flow of traffic to and from the salley-port which Is a congested area and a danger point from a custodial standpoint.
It will also permit a larger number of prisoners to be assigned to the industries within these f~nced areas which at present cannot be permitted outside the prison building itself.
It will also serve to separate the prison area proper from the residential section immediately to the rear of the prison, and finally it will add greatly to the appearance of the prison property to the rear of the male prison.
(i) Pave all roadways in the immediate vicinity of the male and female prison areas inclnding Second Avenue, North and First Street, North where the main residential sections are located.

C. Personnel:
(a) The employment of the necessary personnel to insure t;he efficient administration of the aforementioned incrE}ase in facilities,

2. FARM PROGRAM
A. New and Replacement Construction:
(a) A central granary to store all grain and to mix feed. (b) A tankage plant (wet and dehydrating units). (c) A registered calf barn located at the main dairy barn. (d) A cattle barn at the "Old Camp" dairy farm. (e) A new calf barn at the "Old Camp" dairy farm. (f) Two mule barns located at farming concentration points. (gl Additional wells and elevated tanks throughout the farm area to in-
sure adequate supply of water at all times and to replace present method of hauling water by trucks. (h) Repair and remodel desirable houses on the farm area as residence:o for the custodial force.

B. Farm Equipment:
(a) Purchase of five trucks for use on the farm. (b) Purchase of two additional tractors complete. (c) A road patrol to maintain all roads on and throughout the farm area. (d) To purchase such additional machinery as replacements for worn out
and unusable farm equipment.

C. Pergonnel:
(a) The employment of adequate personnel to insure efficient operation of the prison farm program.
The Special Legislative Committee appointed by the Governor for the Survey of State Institutions with the view of recommending improvements for each, has recommended substantially the additional facilities and improvements mentioned above and has emphasized the need for them.

COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS CAMPS
The county public works camps are operated under the responsible supervision of the county authorities in those counties where the camps are located. The State Department of Corrections inspects these c:1mps an:l through such service undertakes to secure compliance with the laws gove-,ning the welfare of prisoners in these camps.
A set of rules and regulations prepared by a joint committee from the Commissioners and Wardens' Association and the Director of the State Department of Corrections and subsequently adopted February 15, 1945 provides for the supervisory control which the State Department has over all camps operated where state prisoners are incarcerated.
During the fiscal year from July 1, 1944 to June 30, 1945 there were ninety-two (92) county public works camps in operation in eighty-six (86) counties in the State.
In addition to these there were two (2) camps operated by the State Highway Department: one in Charlton and the other in Glynn County. These camps appear in the record as the Charlton Highway Camp and the Glynn Highway Camp.
During the same period one camp was operated under the supervit;ion of the president of the Georgia State College for Women at Milledgeville, Gecrgia, for the repair and maintenance of state property in and around the campus of said institution. This camp appears in the record as the "Old Capitol Camp."
There are three (3) counties which, in addition to male camps, ope-,ate colored female camps in the maintenance of county facilities. These counties are Fulton, Richmond and Chatham, each using colored female prisoners for the maintenance of the County Alms House. These female camps are not mcluded in the total of ninety-two (92) as shown above.
In all there were ninety-eight (98) public works camps for male and female prisoners operated in the State during the fiscal year, ninety-five (95) for male prisoners, and three (3) for female prisoners.
Two new camps were put in operation during the fiscal ye<r. A public works camp was established in Walker County on March 1, 1945 and one m Calhoun County on June 15, 1945.
During the fi:Scal year two counties, Banks and Jackson, have completed

Page

33

the construction of new prison camps. The camp in Banks County is a fire proof structure, built of native granite. The camp in Jackson County is of concrete construction and is also a fire proof structure.
The construction of new buildings has been started during the fiscal year in Bulloch, Walker and Washington Counties.
In those counties where the present facilities are unsatisfactory, in many cases definite commitments have been secured for the construction of new fire proof camps as quickly as materials become available. It has been the policy of the Department of Co:::-rections to encourage immediate construction where the facilities were hopelessly inadequate but where it was found that facilities were passable, commitments for construction when materials become available have been acceptable.
Many camps throughout the State have improved their facilities materially. Extensive repairs have been made to buildings; concrete floors have replaced wooden floors, interior and exterior painting has been done; plumbing facilities have been installed, providing for modern flush toilets and shower baths, cleanliness and sanitation in the camps have been improved and in many respects there has been considerable progress made among the camps during the past year. The wardens and commissioners have been very cooperative in carrying out the recommendations of the inspection service and have made improvements in the facilities at their camps which will permit for further expansion both in the number of prisoners which can be accommodated and the nature of the program to be administered under the penal reform program in Georgia.
There were 750 misdemeanor male pri~;"oners and 2,501 felony male prisoners committed to the county public works camps at the close of the fiscal year for a total of 3,251.
There were 34 misdemeanor female colored prisoners serving in three county camps and there were 35 felony colored female prisoners for a total of 69.
There were 11 deaths from natural causes in county c~tmps. There were 14 violent and accidental deaths in county camps. There was a total of 25 deaths from all causes in county public works camps for the fiscal year.
In each county a practicing physician residing within tl1e county is appointed to give medical supervision to the county public works camp. With the tremendous shortage of physicians it has not been possible to maintain a medical service at a normal standard of efficiency; however, no cases of neglect have been reported and these physicians are to be commended for their efforts during the past fiscal year.

Page

34

Those prisoners who are unfit for work in a county camp from a physical and mental standpoint are immediately transferred upon the recommendation of the county physician and the warden to the State Prison at Tattnall.
For hospitalization or emergency cases and dental care, the counties provide for these through local facilities so that generally speaking, the health and welfare of the inmate in a county camp is given adequate attention.
All prisoners incarcerate<l in county public works camps during the fiscal year have been examined for Yenereal diseases and all positive cases have been treated.
Regular religious servicPs have been conducted in practically every camp at least once a month during the fiscal year. With the possible exception of two camps it can be reported that there are now regular religious services being held throughout the county public works camp system.
With exception of the interest shown by local ministers and some women's organizations connected with local churches, there is little evidence of community interec:;t in county camps. In two counties there has been considerable interest shown during the fiscal year in that the wardens report visits to the camp by speakers and entertainers during the year. It is regretted that this is not true generally throughout the counties where camps are in operation. It is felt that the County Commissioners and the Wardens should assume the major responsibility for arousing such community interest as will insure progress in the operation of county public works camps.
