GENERAL ASSEMBLY

JACK T. RUTLEDGE, Member ROBERT J. CARTER, Director
Honorable Lester G. Maddox, Governor Members of the General Assembly State of Georgia Atlanta, Georgia Gentlemen: It is my pleasure to submit the Annual Report of the Board of Corrections for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1968. The period covered by this report was prior to the date of my appointment as Director on July 15, 1968. While much has previously been accomplished, the goal of achieving a superior Correctional System for Georgia remains before us. My staff and I are earnestly committed to this task. It is appropriate at this point to commend my staff, as well as the wardens, deputies and correctional officers, for their dedication and loyalty. Too little recognition has been given them in the past. May I express my personal gratitude to you, Governor, and to the members of the General Assembly, for your support and counsel. As the time approaches to submit the next Biennial Budget, I earnestly solicit your continued support in our ?artnership toward the mutual goal of an efficient and effective Correctional System.
Respectfully submitted,
I I

LESTER G. MADDOX GOVERNOR
REPORT OF REHABILITATION PROGRAMS FOR
FISCAL YEAR 1967-1968
Virtually every square foot of space which was available for rehabilitation services was being utilized to the optimum extent during the year.
In the academic programs -- ranging from the literacy level to G.E.D. high school equivalency diplomas -- a total of 2,766 inmates were enrolled. In the state prison branches approximately 33 1/3 per cent participated in the academic educational activities. Obviously, the impact of the efforts of the Department of Corrections and the inmates toward their self-improvement will have a considerable effect in helping to prepare men to return to society in a more acceptable and successful manner. Another fact that attests to the value of such programs is that the Department of Corrections, with the cooperation of the State Department of Education, issued 104 high school equivalency diplomas. In addition, 22 youthful offenders graduated from the high school at the Georgia Industrial Institute.
During the year, a modern new vocational education building was completed at the Georgia Industrial Institute at Alto, equipment was purchased and shipped to the building and plans were made to begin 11 vocational trades programs at the institution. The addition of this building makes the Georgia Industrial Institute unique in its programming for youthful offenders inasmuch as the institution now offers every inmate who desires it and can profit by it a complete rehabilitation program. These programs consist of a fully accredited high
-3-
school, comprehensive vocational rehabilitation services, and professionally staffed and accredited vocational programs.
A first in Georgia Correctional history -- a professionally staffed vocational training program at the Georgia Training and Development Center, Buford, Georgia -- was implemented. This program, funded through the Georgia Department of Labor and administered through the Vocational Education Division of the Department of Education, provided men at that institution with vocational skills in automotive mechanics, drafting, masonry, welding, and building and grounds maintenance. Over 100 men were participating.
Another first in Georgia correctional history is the fact that the Department requested and received funding from the General Assembly for one part-time academic teacher for each State institution.
The Adult Education Division of the State Department of Education continued to provide a part-time professional academic teacher at all units. Thus, professional teachers handle academic instruction in the correctional setting at all levels in State institutions. Also, the best in academic materials, supplies and equipment were made available. As a result, virtually all inmates who have a desire to do so, can raise their educational status in a meaningful way.
The expanded use of the regional bookmobiles, plus two new specific programs, provided far better library services to all inmates. The first really adequate library was established at the Georgia Training and Development Center through a joint venture of the Department of Corrections and the Library Services Division of the State Department
-4-
of Education. Provisions for the same type facilities and services were made for the Georgia State Prison. Implementation of the program at Reidsville was envisioned in the immediate future. The Department of Corrections moved to meet one of its most urgent needs with regard to prison releasees -- that of helping inmates bridge the gap between incarceration and successful re-entry into society. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1968, the Georgia Department of Labor began providing a concentrated program of prerelease orientation and job placement. During the year, 1,463 inmates availed themselves of these services. Eight hundred fifty-one direct job placements were culminated. An additional 127 were referred to other services such as training, counseling, etc.

REPORT OF INSTITUTION IMPROVEMENT FOR
FISCAL YEAR 1967-1968
During the fiscal year 1968, the State Board of Corrections expended $1,301,591.60 in construction and renovation projects for the State units.
During this year, improvements in facilities were made at 13 of the State institutions. These improvements consisted of additions and improvements to the refrigeration system at the Georgia State Prison at Reidsville to enable us to expand the meat production for the inmate food service and also for the erection of additional security fences for the purpose of providing more efficient custody of the present compound.
At Georgia Industrial Institute, much progress was made in adding to and renovating existing facilities at this very important institution. Funds were provided to continue the employment of skilled labor to complement inmate labor in the construction or renovation of the main building, annex building providing for increased and more adequate inmate housing, as well as the purchase of supplies, materials and equipment needed for kitchen, dining room and the preparation of the second floor of the main building into an adequate hospital and medical treatment facility.
At the Georgia Training and Development Center at Buford, funds were made available to begin the construction of a modern new kitchen and dining facility for this institution, as well as for the construction of the third building for vocational trade classrooms and shops.
-6-
In other areas of the State Prison System, renovation was made to the administrative office and basic equipment for academic training program was provided for the Jefferson Prison Branch at Louisville, Georgia.
one of the most commendable capital outlay expenditures was made at the Lee Prison Branch, Leesburg, Georgia, where a building was erected to provide an automotive training shop and training classroom to enable us to begin a program of training of inmates for front and rear wheel alignment, motor tune up, body and fender repair and painting.
At the Lowndes-Troupeville Prison Branch at Valdosta, an additional vocational building was erected which provides an opportunity to give actual classroom instruction and also shop training in small engine repairs, general automotive mechanic orientation and specialized training in wheel alignments and motor tune ups.
At the Macon Prison Branch at Montezuma, Georgia, a pre-engineered steel building was erected which provided for increased laundry service efficiency and also provided a proper storage space for the sanitary storage of dry food stuffs.
Among other major projects was the construction of a completely new
I
dormitory addition at the Putnam Prison Branch, Eatonton, Georgia,
\
which is now being utilized to provide adequate quarters, relieving the previously overcrowded conditions at that unit, together with funds being provided to implement a machinery vocational training program and the expansion of the academic educational program for the Putnam institution.
The largest and most ambitious construction program began during this fiscal year providing funds for the engineering, architectural service and the awarding of a contract for the construction of a completely new regional prison facility to replace the Wayne Prison Branch at Jesup, Georgia. This facility, when completed, will be the first of a number of regional prisons and will provide the most modern small prison institution in the history of our State. This new building will provide housing for approximately 175 men and provision has been made to include not only housing and feeding facilities but also medical treatment, a religious program, a recreational program, modern institutional libraries and classrooms which will permit the establishment of basic educational programs for the inmates assigned thereto.

REPORT ON PERSONNEL FOR
FISCAL YEAR 1967-1968
Laws, theories, buildings and research projects are a desirable and even a necessary prelude to action. But action means manpower.
only human beings can bring about changes in the behavior of other human beings. Therefore, it is of the very highest importance that we are able to recruit and keep well-qualified and well trained personnel.
At the end of Fiscal Year 1967, the average correctional system employee was 46 years of age. He had been employed 4.3 years by the department.
The above does not include the physicians which are employed in each of the state prisons except Battey Prison Branch. Eleven of these fifteen are on a fee basis in attendance only during sick call hours.
Within the custodial category there is a direct relationship between length of service, educational achievement and rank. The higher the educational achievement and the lower the length of service, the lower the rank. That is, the lowest rank, Correctional Officer I, has the highest educational achievement and the lowest length of service (only 2.3 years.) This reflects that although the more recent employees are on a higher educational level that there is a need to provide adequate salary and a career ladder to retain these new employees.
Effective July 1, 1968, the salary for all custodial officers will be
-9-
increased substantially, making them the highest salaried correctional employees in the Southeast. It is felt that within the next fiscal year great progress will be made in retaining employees and upgrading the qualifications of beginning correctional officers. All will be required to pass a written examination administered by the State Merit System.
The Department presently has one Training Officer, a professional with over twenty years experience with the U. S. Bureau of Prisons. All Correctional Officers I before being promoted to Correctional Officer II, are required to attend a one week training session and to prepare with a passing grade a correspondence course of six lessons.
The Staff Training Activities included five forty-hour courses of Basic Correctional Officer Training with 150 correctional employees participating, continuous series of five-lesson self-study courses with 91 correctional employees participating, and one thirty-two hour course of administrative training (workshop) with 16 administrative employees participating. Also, there was one forty-six hour course in Correctional Supervisors Advanced Training with 23 supervisory employees participating, and continuous series of ten-lession correspondence course in correctional management and operation with 94 administrative employees participating. Additionally, 58 state and county correctional employees participated in seven hour courses in fingerprint identification training.
It is anticipated that training will be expanded greatly. All beginning officers will receive the above training their first
-10-
six months with the department. The training will also be extended to include supervisory personnel from Wardens on down.

Projected Expansion and Improvements
Though the Correctional Department has manifold needs throughout the system, there are several critical areas which demand priority if the department is to be effectively operated and administered. The categories considered vital are:
I. Georgia State Prison
Georgia State Prison will never be efficiently administered until the over-crowded conditions are alleviated. To rectify this problem a three-phased program is proposed:
A. Maximum Security Building - It is imperative that the sex offenders, security risks, agitators, etc., be removed from the main institution and incarcerated in a facility designed to maintain proper control of this category. This facility will be constructed on the reservation, but removed from the vicinity of the main institution.
B. Trusty Farm Building - A minimum security facility will be constructed on the reservation, but removed from the vicinity of the main institution. This facility will serve the threefold purpose of reducing population in the main institution and controlling contraband by reducing inmate traffic in and out of the main institution.
C. Renovation of Building Number 2 - Upon completion of this project approximately 300 inmates classified as sick and infirm will be removed from the main institution and housed in this facility.
II. Pre-Release, Work-Release Institution
Upon completion of this facility carefully screened inmates eligible for participation in pre-release and work-release will be assigned to this institution. Institutions of this type have proven to be of inestimable value in assisting inmates to successfully bridge the gap from incarceration back into society.
III. Data Processing
All aspects of departmental endeavors - inmate classification, record keeping, program evaluation and research - will benefit in increased efficiency and productivity with the implementation of data processing.
IV. Communications
A teletype network will improve the efficiency of the department in effective communications. In addition, the communications network will eventually complement the data processing system.

FINANCIAL REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 1967-1968
At the close of fiscal year 1968, the State Board of Corrections had expended $1,405.44 per inmate during the year. This was an increase over the previous fiscal year in the amount of $357.89. The annual cost per inmate excludes the operational expense of the Administrative office in view of the fact that all county public works camps are under the jurisdiction of the Administrative office and the figure mentioned above is the cost for State operated penal institutions, only.
During fiscal year 1968, the State Board of Corrections was appropriated in total State Funds $9,417,000.00. In addition to this amount, we earned $983,789.75 in agency funds, which under the law, we are permitted to retain for operational purposes and this made total funds available in the amount of $10,400,790.00. During fiscal year 1968 we fell short of earning the anticipated revenue by $32,224.00. A complete detailed report of the source of revenue collections is outlined in another section of this brochure.
Listed below is a breakdown by major classifications of actual expenditures for fiscal year 1968:
PERSONAL SERVICES OPERATING EXPENSES CAPITAL OUTLAY AUTHORITY LEASE RENTALS
TOTAL EXPENDITURES
$ 3,774,394.29 4,524,468.58 1,301,591.60 645,000.00

The State Board of Corrections ended the fiscal year showing Surplus Funds in the amount of $168,977.97, which lapsed and was returned to the State Treasury by the State Budget Bureau. Taking into consideration the Board is comprised of the Administrative Office and eighteen (18) other divisions, it is felt that the above amount is normal and is less than one percent (1%) of total funds available.
During fiscal year 1968 the State Board of Corrections expended $1,301,591.60 for Capital Outlay and $645,000.00 under Authority Lease Rentals. We are offering below a description of Capital Outlay improvements by prison units:

SUMMARY
COMMITMENTS: During fiscal year July 1, 1967 through June 30, 1968, a total of 5,099 persons were committed to the Georgia Penitentiary System (116 per 100,000 total estimated population* of the State of Georgia). Felons totaled 3,312 (75 per 100,000 total population) and misdemeanants totaled 1,787 (40 per 100,000 total population). Current fiscal year showed a slight decrease in the number of persons committed to the Penitentiary System over the last fiscal year, due to the drop in misdemeanants.
RACE & SEX: A total of 2,401 white persons were committed to the
Penitentiary System during fiscal year (77 per 100,000 total estimated white population of the State of Georgia). Negro persons committed totaled 2,698 (207 per 100,000 total estimated Negro population of the State of Georgia).
Of the 5,099 persons committed to the Penitentiary System, there were 2,297 white males, 104 white females, 2,524 Negro males and 174 Negro females. Forty-seven (47) percent of total commitments were white and fifty-three (53) percent were Negro.
AGE: Persons committed to the Penitentiary System during fiscal year age eighteen and under totaled 719 (14%); age 19-24 totaled 1,633 (32%); age 25-29 totaled 805 (16%); age 30-34 totaled 541 (11%); age 35-39 totaled 422 (8%) and age 40 and over totaled 979 (19%).
FIRST OFFENDERS & RECIDIVISTS: Of the total number of persons
committed to the Penitentiary System, 5,099, seventy-seven (77) percent were first offenders and twenty-three (23) percent were recidivists, having one or more previous convictions. Probated and suspended sentences and previous convictions of individuals sentenced to a Juvenile Institution, not under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Corrections, are not counted as a prior offense. An individual convicted and sentenced must serve a minimum of six (6) months in some State or Federal Penal Institution in order to be classed as a previous offender. Twelve (12) percent of the recidivists had served a previous Federal sentence.
