TO: His Excellency, S. Ernest Vandiver, Governor of Georgia and
TO: The General Assembly State of Georgia
Gentlemen: It is my privilege to submit to you this Annual Report of the
State Board of Corrections covering period from July 1, 1958, and ending June 30, 1959.
Recently we made an evaluation of the Georgia Penal System and transmitted the report to Hon. M. W. H. Collins, Jr., Executive Director of the Governor's Commission on Economy and Reorganization. This report included, but was not limited to the following recommendations:
1. The specific needs as enumerated in this report provide that the county will take care of its misdemeanor prisoners and relieve the Board of Corrections of the responsibility of maintaining custody and control of misdemeanor prisoners due to the fact that the rehabilitative program cannot be worked out on short-term prisoners, and
2. That Georgia's dormitory-type prison installations are antiquated and it is necessary that a large prison be built of the cell-block type where security prisoners may be kept and proper security measures taken that they may not escape and prevent us from having to send them to medium custody institutions, and
3. That a revolving fund be set up by the Legislature with which to purchase machinery to industrialize the prison system as is more specifically covered in the lengthy report with prov1s10n to repay to the Treasury from the profits made from the industries, and
4. The establishment at the new prison of a classification and medical center whereby all prisoners may be photographed, fingerprinted, case histories developed, medical examinations and treatments made, and a work or rehabilitative program suitable to the needs of the prisoner worked out before the permanent assignment of the prisoner to a county or state institution, and
5. The establishment of a living wage scale and pay for our guards beginning at a minimum of $210.00 per month, (plus fringe benefits) with provisions for increment from

time to time so that we can secure a better type guard in our institutions. Also, additional funds necessary to place these individuals under State Retirement and 0. A S. I. benefits that provision might be made for their security in future years, and
6. That additional funds be set up for in-service training program whereby our officers may be trained that there might be better uniformity of custody and treatment in our institutions, and
7. That sufficient funds be allocated that we might institute at our juvenile institution at Alto, Georgia a better school for academic and training program to meet the needs of a changing society, and that additional funds be allocated that we might institute an educational program for the illiterate in our adult institutions where such individuals desire and will use such facility. The overcrowded conditions in our prison population has for the
last few years caused us much concern. This condition necessitates immediate construction of a new prison of the individual cell type. The construction of this new prison will meet the current needs of the Board of Corrections insofar as housing facilities are concerned. The prison population has steadily been on the increase for the past few years and if this increase continues we will of necessity have to further enlarge our housing facilities. Prison industries have from time to time during the past few years been recommended. Progress is being made toward this end. In order that the Board of Corrections may plan for the future from a housing standpoint for increased population and in order to properly industrialize the prison system we strongly recommend for your consideration that an authority be set up for the purpose of making funds available to the Board of Corrections for the construction of additional housing facilities for the present and future needs and to make available funds sufficient to meet our needs in industrializing the Georgia Prison System. Such an authority would make available to us funds for much needed educational facilities at our I Georgia Industrial Institute for juvenile offenders. We believe that authority financing of this type to the extent of not less than $8,000,000.00 will enable the penal system to continue the progress it has made over the last years and permit the Board of Corrections to do a more systematic job in planning for the future.
Respectfully submitted,
Jack M. Forrester Director

COMMENTS:
Vegetables and cane grown on the Prison Farm are rumed over to the Canning Plant and this unit charges the institution for the cost of the raw products, plus the cost of canning. Prices charged for all raw products never exceeded market values.
The Canning Plant is a subsidiary unit of the Prison Farm and the figure above is included in the production figures for rhe Prison Farm and the only addition is the cost of canning.

26 Annual Report of the State Board of Corrections
FINANCIAL AND STATISTICAL SUMMARY:
A PP ROP RIA TIONS:
The General Assembly In the sessiOn of January 1956 appropriated $150, 000.00 per year for the operation of the State Board of Corrections office, Atlanta, Georgia. Since January of 1956 the work load in the office has increased tremendously and it is felt that the office cannot operate efficient ly in the future without an increase in the appropriation. \'i'e curtailed buying needed items of supplies and equipment in the office in order to economize, as requested by the Governor, but we were able to show only a surplus of $4,465.05 at the end of the year. During the year we could have improved the efficiency of the inspection service by employment of additional personell, we could have improved the efficiency of the record office by the installation of practically a new filing system; however, money was not available for these innovations and therefore budget approval was not requested.
The General Assembly of the 1956 session appropriated $1,750,000.00 for the operation of the prison system, which included the Georgia State Prison, Reidsville, Georgia and sixteen (16) other prison branches. Effective July 1st, 1958 the Governor transferred from the Contingency Fund an additional $175,000.00. This allotment was necessary due to the tremendous increase in the prison population and because of higher cost of materials and equipment, which necessarily had to be purchased in order to operate the penal system. If the prison population and cost of supplies and equipment remain the same, we cannot possibly maintain the prison system in the future on $1,925,000.00, which is the total amount appropriated and allocated at G~e present time. Because the prison system is a revenue producing agency, we were able to show a surplus of $84,256.2 2 as of the end of the fiscal year, but these funds will be badly needed during the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1960, because we expect a further increase in the prison population.
OUTLAY EXPENDITURES: We are listing below a breakdown of vanous Outlay Expenditures, which include new construction for which we were allocated specific funds to cover the proposed construction program:

(b) Ware Prison Branch Waycross, Georgia ---------- 19.00

(c) Decatur Prison Branch Bainbridge, Georgia ---------- 130.00

$ 2,435.00

(2) Construction expenditures for Georgia State Prison, Reidsville, Georgia for the necessary

materials and equipment for sixty (60) new

houses, which were built on the Georgia State

Prison Reservation and also for the construction

of a new Warden's Residence. Most of the

materials for the sixty (60) houses were pur-

chased during the previous fiscal year.

(3) Construction cost for a new unit designated as Lowndes-Troupeville Prison Branch, Valdosta, Georgia. We received during the previous fiscal year $60,000.00 for the purpose of purchasing materials and equipment for the new structure, but the additional cost covering Personal Services and the cost of maintaining the inmates used on the construction project which was in progress for approximately one ( 1) year amounted to -- $ 104,874. 73

INMATE POPULATION IN PRISON SYSTEM (Comparative):
As pointed out in previous Alnual Reports; we have had a steady and t remendous increase in the daily average inmate count since June 30th, 1953 and it has been steadily rising since that date. On June 30th, 1953, the daily average inmate count was 2,260 and as of June 30th, 1959, this fi[!.ure has risen to 4,648, which indicates an increase of 2,388 over the 1953 figure. In comparing the daily average inmate count for the past fiscal year with the present one, the increase has been 527. The General Assembly in the session of January 1956 based our proposed appropriation on the inmate count at approximately that time. The daily average inmate count as of June 30th, 1956 was 3,713 and as oi June 30th, 1959, the count had risen to 4,648, or, an increase of 935. Most of the inmate population increase had to be sent to the main i'lstitution ac Reidsville. Georgia and the cost of maintaining the 935 increase at $1.2/ per day amounted to a total of $433.419.25 In order to support this great increase io the population, it was up to the department to increase production on the prison farm and also to increase revenue collections where possibl., It is honestly believed that in order to maintain apr ison population of 4, 700 to 5,000 inmates, we will require at least a half million dollars in additional appropriation for the future admini stration of the penal system.

REVENUE COLLECTIONS:
Revenue Collections for the penal system were somewhat better this year because from all sources we collected $1,618, 756.89,as against $1,516,651.
12 during the previous fiscal year . It is indicated that we had an increase in overall revenue col1eccions from all sources in the amount of $102,105.77,
According to State Law, the State Board of Corrections is permitted tore-
tain all revenues collected and collections are in addition to the yearly appropriation and any special funds, which might be allotted for the operacion of the department. Other than funds from the regular appropriation, we received .the main source of other revenue from inmate labor performed for the State Highway
Department in reference to road maintenance work in various sections of
the State. We also received revenue for inmate labor performed for other State agencies, counties and municipalities. In addition, we have received some funds for the performance of road contract work for the State Highway
Department, but this particular source of revenue v.ill not recur in the future
because road contract work has been discontinued by the State Highway Department. Other sources of revenue are from the manufacture of license plate tags, the manufacture of school furniture, the sale of printed forms to State departments, and the sale of crushed rock, etc.

GEORGIA STATE PRISON, REIDSVILLE, GEORGIA:
The average daily inmate count at the main institution 'MlS on the ris~ again during chis fiscal year and the count increased from 2,293 to 2,547, which indicated -an ovemll daily inmate increase of 254 over the previous fiscal year. The average daily inmate cost per day increased from $1.17 to $1.27. The net operating cost at the main institution amounted to $1,185, 768.90 as against $982,908.52 during the previous fiscal year.
From the standpoint of farming operations for the fiscal year we had the best in the history of the institution. We are listing below a comparative record of farm prodution during the past five years and it is indicated that $749,184.07 was the best in farm prodution over that period of years. It is further indicated that we showed an overall increase iri farm production in the amount of $83,027.26 over the previous fisca1 year.

The prison farm, as usual, produced practically all of the foods served at the institution with the exception of certain staple items not groWl in the area. The prison farm also distributed various fresh vegetables and canP.ed foods to other units under the supervision of the State Board of Corrections. The prison farm produced 659,734 pounds of pork valued at $184, 725.52 and they were able to furnish most of the necessary beef used at the main institution, which consisted of 208,856 pounds which had a market value of $83,542.40.

The farm produced all the necessary milk, butter, eggs, and chickens consumed at the institution and the market value of these items amounted to

Annual Report of the State Board of Corrections 31
$161,452.78. The .vegetable garden practically tripled their production during the year and we showed an increase of $57,575.70 on that particular unit of the farm. It was by far the best vegetable crop groWl on the prhon reservation, Had it not been for the fine year on the prison farm, we would not have been able to maintain the extremely large prison population at the institution and the sixteen" other units of the penal system.
Lumber was cut from the prison reservation and processed at the prison sawmill and what was used came from that source, as has been the casein the past number of years.

We are listing below a record of tillable and untillable acreage on the prison reservation:

32 Annual Report of the State Board of Corrections
The only major industrial unit at the prison is the license plate tag plant. We manufacture license plate tags for the State Revenue Department and the Georgia Public Service Commission. 1,553,795 tags were manufactured for the State Revenue Department and 9,600 for the Georgia Public Service Commission. We received $242 ~30.23 in revenue from those two sources,. but of course we had to pay for the materials, such as metal, enamel, envelopes, and shipping containers, etc. and other items necessary in the manufacture of the tags. From all sources of revenue, the Georgia State Prison received $426,975.48 and this included road maintenance work for the State Highway Department, inmate labor for the Georgia Forestry Commission, various sales of farm -products, primarily from the sale of cotton and other miscellaneous items. We have a printing plant, clothing factory, a plant manufacturing soaps, soap powders, disinfectants, etc., but these manufactured items areminor operations , primarily due to the fact that we are not afforded orders from other State departments. The sale of manufactured items from the Georgia State Prison, even though they are of fine quality, it has been difficult to dispose of to other State agencies, during this year, as it has been for the past number of years. Due to the unlimited manpower, the Georgia State Prison should be materially industrialized and it legislation could insure the sale of the various products, the operating cost of the Georgia State Prison and of the prison system in general would be materially decreased. For instance, in the printing plant, we have printed about-ninetenths of the printing for the State Board of Corrections for years and we feel that our letterheads and various forms are just as satisfactory as those used by any other State department, but we have been able to sell printed forms only to the State Board of Pardons and Paroles and the State Board of Probation in the past
If the industries we now have in force at the Georgia State Prison were en
larged and others installed, it would not only affect a saving for the State of Georgia, but it would be of great benefit to the prison population from the standpoint of rehabilitation and the training derived from the work performed.
From $300,000.00 which we received from the Governor's Contingency Fund during last fiscal year, we completed the construction of sixty new dwellings for personnel working at the main institution and also c0n scruct,ed a new residence for the Warden. Thf" amount expended for this purpose

Annual Report of the State Board of Corrections 33
during the year amounted to $56,660.16 and the entire job was completed during the fiscal year. Each of the units for personnel consisted of 1 ,150 square feet and included three bedrooms, a living room, dinette, kitchen, and bath.
GEORGIA INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE, ALTO, GEORGIA:
This institution houses juveniles and it is indicated that there has been a steady increase in the population during the past several years. The average daily inmate count increased from 487 for the past fiscal year to 589 during this fiscal year.
The average cost per inmate day for this fiscal year amounted to $1.58 as against $1.85 for the previous fiscal year. The net maintenance expenses for this fiscal year totaled $339,941.66 as against $328,3 71.9 8 for the previous fiscal year.
This unit has a 200 acre farm adjacent to the institution and produce from the farm is consumed at the unit. Farm production has been improving each year and that is one of the reasons that the overall daily inmate cost has been reduced. The institution also has a source of revenue from the manu jacture of school furniture. The school furniture manufactured is of a very high grade and we believe it is as good as any on the market at competitive prices; however, v.e realized only $13 /328.65 during the entire year in reference to the sale of school furniture. We had some increase over the previous year, but that figure totaled only $8,702. 65. If we could be given the benefit of sales to State units and to schools, this particular manufacturing unit could be expanded many times.
With inmate labor, the institution performed work for the Georgia Forestry Commission and from this source were ceived $11 ,560.50 during the fiscal year.
As we have mentioned in numerous hlnual Reports, it would be of great benefit to this institution, particularly, if a number of small industries were put into effect at the location. With the training received from small indus-

34 Annual Report of the State Board of Corrections
tries, along with a reasonable educational program and also an expanded vocational program, the inmates of the institution would be further benefited for life after release.
CORRECTIONAL DETENTION BRANCH, ROME, GEORGIA:
In the operation of the Correctional Detention Branch, Rome, Georgia, the State Board of Health shares a portion of the expenses, because the State Board of Corrections furnishes the Battey State Hospital, Rome, Georgia with a large number of able-bodied female inmates who are assigned var ious duties in the hospital, primarily in the laundry, kitchen, and in other locations designated by the hospital authorities. In return for this service, the State Board of Health pays approximately one-half (~) of the salaries of the custodial force assigned to the unit and furnishes food for all of the inmates there, plus medical care other than surgery. For those inmates requiring surgery, we usually. s,end them to the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital, Augusta, Georgia.
Because the Battey State Hospital greatly benefits from the arrangement in reference to work performed by colored female inmates, the State Board of Health has further agreed to take care of all tubercular cases for the State Board of Corrections.
The average inmate population per day has been more or less steady for the past several years and during this fiscal year the average daily inmate count was 208 as compared with 207 during the previous fiscal year. The actual net expenditures by the State Board of Corrections amounted to only $36,890.74 and the average inmate cost per day was only$ .49.

Annual Report of the State Board of Corrections 35
ROCK QUARRY PRISON BRANCH:
The reason for constructing this particular unit several years ago was for the purpose of handling those inmates for the penal system who were considered maximum security risks. This unit houses the various inmates who have committed infractions of the rules of the State Board of Corrections at one of our units or at one of the numerous public works camps. The daily average inmate population is 169 this year as against 142 during the previous fiscal year.
The c;ost of operating this unit is much higher than any of the other units because a much larger custodial force is necessary, due to the fact that incorrigibles are in custody at this unit.
The cost per inmate day during this fiscal year amounted to $2.56 as against $4.11 during the previous fi seal year. The unit sold crushed stone and received other revenue during this fiscal year in the amount of $88, 254.65, as against $48,045.51 during the previous fiscal year. This increase in outside revenue is partly responsible for the lower cost per inmate day, as mentioned above.
As explained in la~t~year' s Annual Report, an up-to-date dispensary and clinic was under construction and. it is further explained that the annex included forty seven ( 47) individual cell units. This project was completed during this fiscal year at an additional cost of $5,873.05.
PRISON BRANCHES PERFORMING ROAD MAINTENANCE WORK:

PUL~ PRISON BRANCH, Hawkinrtille, Georgia

36 Annual Report of the State Board of Corrections
PU1NAM PRISON BRANCH, Eatonton, Georgia. TELFAIR PRISON BRANCH, McRae, Georgia. WARE PRISON BRANCH, Waycross, Georgia. WAYNE PRISON BRANCH, J es1up-, Georgi a.
The above institutions were constructed or acquired over the past few years because of the fact the ever growing inmate population made it abso-lutely necessary. During the fiscal year we completed the construction of Lowndes-Troupeville Prison Branch at Valdost.a, Georgia, for which we received $60,000.00 from the Governor's Contingency Fund and with this unit we have thirteen prison branches primarily performing.road maintenance work for the State Highway Department and some road contract work. Through mutual agreement, the State Highway Department pays the State Board of Corrections $3.50 per inmate day for a minimum of fifty inmates assigned to each of the above mentioned units. In some of the units, the State Highway Department has designated more than fifty for road maintenance work, but in most instances, the figure is fifty inmates. The State Board of Corrections has complete custody of the inmates assigned to the institutions, but the State Highway Department designates the work to be performed oand have supervisors in their department for this purpose. Of course, the State Board of Corrections pays for all expenses in connection with the operation of the thirteen branches out of the $3.50 per in mate day received from the State Highway Department.
In the event special work is requested from counties, municipalities, or from some State departments, such as the Georgia Forestry Commissionpr the State Parks Dep;u-tment, we assign additional prisoners to the branches in order to perform the specific work requested.
At the unit~ mentioned ,ibove, the average daily inmate count was 1 ,135 and the cost for maintaining these inmates amounted to $66,160.99, which represented an average daily inmate cost of 16 per day. We would like to point out here that we performed a large amount of free work for the Rock Eagle 4-H Club Center which amounted to $12,145.00 and for Jekyll Island State Park Authority, which amounted to $68,934.50. Had we received pay at $3.50 per inmate day for the work performed on these projects, tne profit for the operation of the thirteen prison branches would have been $14,918.51, instead of the indicated cost mentioned above of $66,160.99.

Annual Report of the State Board of Corrections 37
For a number of years we have performed a great deal of road contract work
for the State Highway Department, but this type of work was curtailec' dur-
ing the current fiscal year. The contracts in existence at the beginning of the year were some which had not been completed during the previous fiscal year and we did collect $102,891.34 from this source, but in the past this figure has been close to a million dollars per year. We would like to point out that road maintenance work has been substituted, but revenue from this source amounted to only $783,002.50 for work performed for the State Y:ighway Department. During the current year from all sources of revenue, we received a total of $1,077,900.86 in reference to the thirteen prison branches and during the previous fiscal year we received $1,050,844. 40, or an increase of $27,056.46 over the previous fiscal year.
Because construction of new prison branches is no longer in progress and
the prison population is steadily increasing, it will be necessary that we
have an additional penal institution in order to take care of the overflow of population. Each of the prison branches has in custody more inmates than they should and of course the Georgia State Prison is greatly over crowded, as previously mentioned. A new penal institution capable of handling 1,200
inmates is our immediate need.
