To llis Excellency, S. Marvin GriffiP, Governor of Georgia,
and
To the General Assembly State of Georgia
Gentlemen:
We are pleased to submit to you this Annual Report of the State Board of Corrections covering period from July l, 1956 and ending June 30, 1957.
Since making Annual Report for the year July 1, 1955 through June 30, 1956, we have built an additional State Highway Maintenance Camp at Montezuma, Georgia, known as Macon Prison Branch. This camp makes a total of twelve (12) such camps located in Middle and South Georgia.
We are now is the process of building sixty (60) homes at Georgia State Prison Reidsville, Georgia for custodial officers and their families. This, in our opinion, is on~ of the most forward and progressive steps made at this institution in many years and will certainly improve the morale of all of our custodial officers. Skilled prison labor is being utilized in this construction.
Immediately after the leg-breaking incident at the Rock Quarry. Prison Branch,ll careful and thorough investigation was made by the officials of the Board of Corrections and it was found that there was no cruelty, brutality or mistreatment of the prisoners that caused this incident. Not being completely satisfied with the conclusion reached from our own investigation, we employed an independent Board of Psychiatrists composed of Drs.
E. w. Allen and R. W. Bradford to examine the individual inmates, who were at the time
incarcerated at this institution. We are quoting below a summary of the findings of these psychiatrists:

The Commission considers a sociopathic personality, with gross stress

.

is temporarily psychotic and should be treated as such until the gross stress r~actlon,

clears.

eaction

The Commission wishes to state that during the first visit to Duford we inspected the sanitary conditions, and the conditions under which the prisoners ~arefullJ

ing,particularly as to the time of work, the type of work, and whether this was con e.:0 rk. to be within the realms of reason and acceptable by others who do not have ~1. e.red personalities. We found the prison in excellent sanitary condition, remarkably free ofn~al The hours and work were reasonable in every respect. The food was well above th 0 ora.

xge. In fact, the only prisoners who complained of the food were those that were i; .aver. tio:1 who were not given three full meals daily, as this was not needed in this stl~Ol&o

i:::.cctivity, as well as having a disciplinary effect upon the prisoners.

a e Of

~ Some prit>oners :;ornplained of being treated brutally by gu~ds. However, when th :.on:rn1sswn asked for detaJ.ls 1t generally developed that the pnsoner, at first, violat e rules and regulations, some o them thinking that they were brutally mistreated when thed !1ad actually assaulted guards and, in defense of himself, the guard had struck them Wi~~ u stick, which is given to the guard under the rules and regulations for the purpose of ]J;{ending himself. One prisoner complained he was struck in the head with a black-jack
Captah Smith, at first stating that he was knocked down, but when he was examined ';;ree days later there was no evidence that thi~prisoner received an injury and he changed '.~1s statement from 'Jemg knocked down to receiving a glancing blow, which the Commission c;.c;siders at> a nefenss tor making this complaint. This prisoner was a mentally deficient i<:Ison wl:u iiad probnJJly been prompted to make this complaint by other prisoners With :1~orc irlrellL,;ence) co:nmon.ly called Hribbing".

,~<l'-~" ;J:L:,m,(r ,, (,c, r.mti~ated himself was carefully questioned as to why he did i:~is and what he expected to accomplish. Most of the prisoners stated that this was a :coordinated action promoted by several of the prisoners, a few stating that they were ..~:1:k tc believe ~; they did not join in they would be subject to criticism or punishment
c>tiwr ;::nscn~::::. 'L:." majarity of these prisoners did complain of mistreatment or ':-c~r aLLY t.:} ,;uard<' prev~aus to the first leg-breaking episode, and one of the prisoners :.:;mplained of m1streatment by a guard just before the second leg-breaking episode. Some
Lhe prisoners frankly stated that it was an effort to do away with Buford Prison, .:_lrnuugh most. of them admitted the necessity of having an escape-proof prison.

We found Captain Smith to be on the job continuously on each day that we visited tJ1c prison; that he had an unusual knowledge of the individual prisoner's personality, .:cru :1is gooct and bact characteristics, and Captain Smith was able to help the Commission '\ reporting. in detail, the good conduct and the bad conduct of each prisoner examined. ;..1ls undcrstandi:<g of the prisoners could not have been obtained, except by close as .::;>ciaticn over many months with each prisoner, and it enabled him to treat each accordlr:gly,

The Commission has been impressed by the need of as near escape-proof prison as is possible for the chronic criminal, not only for the protection of society, but for the pro~: :-:tlon of the cnminal, himself, as this is good treatment for his compulsion to escape, ar:d we have come to realize that a prisoner on escape is one of the most serious. threats ! :1t can rccur to a community. The ideologies developed by the chronic ctiminal consist,
.:.nr::d ~.;r whoever is responsible for his confinement, primarily the guard. who ~::rnbolic of this authority; hatred and hostile feelings for the prisoner who tells on : IJPr prisoners or "rats", in the terminoiogy of the prisoners; hatred for the prisoner who .s~sts r.ne guarcl;~ lr~ rtcapturlng them by handling the dogs, known by the prisoners as - ':k-, " Tr xch:r to decrease or attenuate the hostile feeling that the prisoner has - .:: :.he g::a:d, ?r,.:;~ guard should understand that it is his duty not to develop a counter ::J.' ; . -U.:::'~ tnv:ards any prisoner, particularly over trival statements :Jr expression" ,,, 2.11ger ,;;.at tne pnsoner may make in the presence of the guard. We have discussed this ::citer v.-iti1 Captain Smith and he states that he carefully instructs each guard as to hi"
:'.:ties am! attitudE towaras prisoners when employed, and reviews this attitude and cor;;cets any errors that the guard may make, which come to his knowledge.

we should like, also, to commend Mr. Forrester, Mr. Hatchett and Captain Smith for allowing any prisoner an opportunity to report to them any feelings that he is being brutallY treated, or mistreated in ~ny way. Request f?r the interview is made, in writing, bY the prisoner . whic.h 1s g1ven e1the.r to Captam Sm1th or Mr. Archer, in the latter event to by-pass Captam .f:;mlth should the pnsoner w1sh to make any report about Captain Smith's conduct towards the prisoner.
In conclusion, every prisoner interrogated felt that it would be impossible to escape [rom Buford Prison Quarry or quarters, as they are carefully guarded by responsible personnel who are authorized to shoot the prisoner who has been convicted of a felony whenever he attempts to escape.
(s) E. W. Allen, M.D. (s) R. W. Bradford, M.D.
In our last Annual Report we stated that, in our opinion, based on experience and Information from other experts in the field, the dormitory type of sleeping the prisoners in the Rock Quarry Prison Branch led to a hard corps of inmates placing pressures on other prisoners and it was believed that this institution should be changed over from adormitory type confinement to a cell-block type of confinement so that the inmates could be separa ted and so they could not form cliques and place pressure on the other prisoners. Since that time we have secured $195,000.00 from the Governor to use in the construction of 811 addition to the prison consisting of forty-seven individual cells, an X-ray room and medicAl dispensary. The plans for this addition were drawn by the Albany Architect and En"ineer!ng Company, and is being supervised by this firm. The actual work is being performed by skilled prison labor.
We now have in operation a small school desk manufacturing plant at the Georgia Industrial Institute at Alto, Georgia, our institution for juvenile offenders between the ages of 15 and 19 years of age. This operation will teach about 40 boys in the vocations of welding, carpentry, spray-painting, etc. We also have at this institution vocational classes in mechanics and operation of road building machinery, dairy farming and forestry, Our facilities for a common school education are very limited. Only recently we requested the Governor to appoint a committee composed of the Director of the Board of Corrections, a minister of the Gospel, a member of the House of Representatives, a member of the Senate, a psychologist or psychiatrist, and a person well experienced in common school instruction to look mto the possibility and expense of creating a common school in this institution which would result in the acceptance of credits by the state l3oard of Education. This Committee has been appointed by the Governor and we are looking forward to the results which will be accomplished from the recommendation of this Committee.
Many improvements have been made in the various county public works camps in the improvement of facilities for housing and keeping prisoners. We have been concerned with the problem of the preparation and serving of food in the various institutions (Georgia State Prison, Prison Branches and County Public Works Camps). In an effort to coordinate our efforts we have employed a Steward who has been trained in the preparation and serving of food, both as to cleanliness and as to a balanced diet. We have assembled for distribution to all of our institutions a uniform menu and recipe book. This employee is making visits to all of the institutions so as to bring about a uniformity of balanced rations in all of our institutions including the public works camps, It is. believed that tremendous progress has been made in this field, and we will continue to push this program of improvement in the preparation and serving of food to our inmates.
Although we have built and placed into operation twelve (12) additional prison units which are caring for approximately 900 inmat~s. our State Prison at Reidsville is still crowded to capacity and if the present trend of increasing ntison population continues it wJl be necessary to build other prisons to take care of this increase. We now have 586 more prisoners than we had at the end of October 1956 and a capacity load of 500 juveniles at the Georgia Industrial Institute at Alto, Georgia between the ages of 15 and 19.
Respectfully submitted,
JACK M. FORRESTER Director

NOTE. MACON PRISON BRANCH, MONTEZUMA, GEORGIA.

This unit began operations during the latter part of June and was in operation for only thirteen (13) days. During this period they received no receipts from the State Highway Department for the use of inmate labor. Furthermore, food supplies were purchased to last for approximately three or four months and therefore, the cost of the unit per day is completely out of line with the other units.

All production of the Canning Plant was turned over to the Institution and the Canning Plant charged th~ Institution with the cost of the raw products, plus the cost of canning. Prices charged for all raw products never exceeded existing market values.
As vegetables are grown on the Farm, a portion of them are turned over to the Canning Plant at existing market values and therefore ~he production of the Canning Plant is handled as a separate item, in reference to total production of the Farm.

FINANClAL AND STATISTICAL SUMMARY

APPROPRIATIONS:
The administrative office of the State Board of Corrections, Atlarta, Georgia for 1 ~
fiscal year ended June 30th, :957 was appropriated $150,000.00 per annum by an 1\
fi of the General Assembly during the January 1956 session. Of the $150,000.oo ct
withdrew from the State Treasury $147,2'26.70, leaving a surplus at the end of tbe '*t year in the amount of $2,773 30. Actual withdrawals for the fiscal year ended June ~~:I
1956 totalled $134,991.54. It was necessary that we refurnish the various offices in th department because practically all the furniture in use had been in the offices for twente (20) years or more. The cost of refurnishing the offices amounted to approximate)~ $12,000.00 and therefore the actual operational expense was about the same as for the previous fisc-al year.

During the January 1956 session of the General Assembly, the prison system, which consisted of the main prison at Reidsville and (15) other prison branches, we were appropriated $1,750,000.00 for operational expenses. From the Governor's Surplus Fund~ we were allocated a total of $337,794.50 in addition to the $1,750,000.00 from the General Assembly. Of the total funds allotted to the department, we had a surplus at the end of the fiscal year in the amount of $170,720.61.

The additional money received from the Governor's Surplus Funds was primarily for Outlay Expenditures, including new construction and we are listing a breakdown of Out. lay Expenses below:

pOPULATION IN PRISONS (COMPARATIVE)
The average daily inmate population, covering inmates under the direct supervision and custody of the State Board of Corrections for the fiscal year ended June 30th, 1956 was 3,713 and at the end of June 30th, 1957, this figure increased to 3,873, or, an overall increase of 160. As of June 30th, 1953, the daily average inmate count was 2,260 and for this fiscal year the average was 3,873. which represents a fifty-eight (58) percent population increase.

REVENUE COLLECTIONS:
According to Law, all revenue received from manufacturing or road work performed, etc. is added to the amount appropriated for the operation of the penal system. During the fiscal year we actually collected $1,464,858.98 and for the previous fiscal year the collection total was $1,118,254.77 or an increase in the total amount of $346,604.21. Because most of the small prison branches performing road maintenance and road contract work for the State Highway Department were in operation for the full fiscal year, we received $285,242.74 more this year than during the previous fiscal year from this source.

GEORGIA STATE PRISON, REIDSVILLE, GEORGIA.
The average daily inmate population at the Georgia State Prison was 2,235 as against 2,243 during the previous fiscal year which indicates a decrease of 8. Because we have twelve [12] prison branches, which have been constructed during the past few years, we have been able to relieve the main institution of approximately 900 inmates. The net operational cost of the G "orgia State Prison for the fiscal year amounted to $1,062,741.93 and the inmate cost per day was $ 1.30. Last fiscal year the net operational cost totalled $911,918.15 and a daily inmate cost of $1.11. These figures indicate an increase in

operational cost in the amount of $150,823.78, which can be explained. The main p . building is twenty (20) y<>ars old and every few years it is necessary to completely ren280ll

the unit and replace some of the plumbing fixtures. During the year new machinery";te

purchased for the laundry and stewards department and a new twenty (20) year roof 88
installed on the main building. Also, a new diesel emergency power plant was insta~aa

and extensive improvements were made in the dairy. The numerous hou>'ing units fed

personnel on the reservation were also renovated extensively.

The above figures indicate an increase in farm production over the fiscal year ended June

30th, 1956 in the amount of $62,915.75.

The prison farm produced practically all the food served to the inmates of the in!'tituticn

other than certain staple item~ and those which could not be grown in the area and dis.

tributed a large amount of foods, both fresh and canned, to our various pnson units. A

small amount of canned foods was sold to other State agencies during the year.

Because of the dairy and poultry operations on the prison farm, it was not necessary to purchase eggs, milk or butter from outside sources. All pork production for the inmate population was supplied from hogs grown on the farm and approximately sixty-five per. cent (65'/o) of the beef consumed was also grown on the prison farm. Of course, it was necessary to purchase supplements, certain minerals and some specially prepared feed for poultry and cattle, but all other food for livestock was produced on the prison farm.

All lumber required for use on the prison reservation was cut and processed at the prison sawmill.

The paramount feature in having- any type of manufacturing unit at th,, 1nstituti"n is that it gives the population work tc perform and we fef'l that this factor is even more important than the rev<:uue receivt>d from such endeavors.

As in previous reports, we have mentioned t.iw fact thl'lt the Stat.<' Board of Health 'Aorks in conjunction with the State Board uf Correcti<>ns in paying for exp:nditures for the op eration of the unit.

In r<tum for this ~ervice, the hospital pays for approximatdy half of the cuHtodia! f"rc<' nssign1 .i there.

The operational expense of the Corr('ctwnnl Df'i-<ntwn Branch amounted to onl.v $;ll,;c~' Uli or, .43 cents pnr inmate day and of coun<e the low eost is due to the fact that a portion ',f the expense i:4 born by the State Hoard of H~ealth.

ROCK QUARRY PRISON BRANCH, BUFORD, GEORGIA.

The rlVerage daily inmate population at this unit showed a slight decrease ovPr the pr .

of the rules of the State Board of Corrections at one of their units or at one oft he nu~on ous public works camps. The inmates assigned here are considered maximum secur~r.

risks.

y

:a At the unit there is a rock quarry and crushed stone is sold to other State institutio
and sub-divisions of the State. This year the total sale of stone amounted to $48,496.20
8
against $52.207.63 for the previous fiscal year. The stockpile at the end of the fiscal Yea
amounted to 134,984 tons as compared to 121,969 tons of various sizes of stone and screen~
ings during the previous fiscal year.

Because this unit is a maximum security institution, the cost per inmate day is naturally much higher than at other units. The net operational expenditures and the inmate co,t per day increased materially as indicated by the comparative report listed below:

The increase in operational expenditures was brought about by a decrease in revenue collections, which included sales of crushed stone. During the previous year the total revenue collections amounted to $80,695.64 and this year the total figure was $48,769.69, which indicates a decrease of $31,925.95. Taking this fact into consideration there existed no material increase in the actual operation of the Rock Quarry Prison Branch.

GEORGIA WARE PRISON BRANCH. WAYCROSS, GEORGIA WAYNE PRISON BRANCH, JESUP, GEORGIA
As of the end of the fiscal year June, 30th, 1957, we constructed two (2) new prison branches, one known a8 Macon Prison Branch and the other Pulaski Prison Branch. We also constructed an addition to Montgomery Prison Branch. We now have a total of twelve (12) prison branches performing road maintenance work for the State Highway Department and other work for the counties in their locality.
Formerly, our prison branches performed road contract work for the State Highway De partment constructing roads, building bridges, etc. The State Highway Department thought it advisable to discontinue this type of work and to use inmate labor entirely on road maintenance.

Annual Report of the State Board of Corrections

28

To the twelve (12) units in operation, we assigned approximately fifty (50) inmates per unit to perform road maintenance work and the State Highway Department had agreed to paY us $3.50 per inmate day and we in turn assumed entire custody of the inmates assigned to the various units. This arrangement has not only been profitable to us, but also to the State Highway Department. If we have additional work to perform for counties or municipalities, we assign additional inmates to the unit where the work is to be performed and the rate charged for t~is service is _the same as is charged the State HighwaY Department- $3.50 per day per mmate. Durmg the fiscal year, the average daily inmate population of the twelve (12) units mentioned was 902 and we realized a small profit over and above the cost of operation in the amount of $18,300.55.
At the end of the fiscal year our collections for road maintenance work for the State Highway Department totalled $658,262.50 and for road contract work for the State Highway Department in the amount of $:270,100.77, or, a grand total of $928.363.27. Certain work was performed for the State Forestry Department, the State Parks Department, for various counties and municipalities and the total revenue received from these sources amounted to $145,615.19. In short, our revenue from all sources for the fiscal year ended June 30th, 1957 was in the amount of $1,073,978.46.
Macon Prison Branch, being under construction during most of the fiscal year, operated under road maintenance for only thirteen (13) days. Pulaski Prison Branch, which was constructed during the early part of the fiscal year operated three-hundred-twenty-nine (329) days under road maintenance and Wayne Prison Branch was not given any road maintenance work by the State Highway Department until September 1st, 1956. It may be assumed that during the forthcoming fiscal year, our revenue for road maintenance work alone for the State Highway Department should exceed $900,000.00, because we will have twelve (12) units performing road maintenance work and they will have the benefit of a full year of operation.
