From the Commissioner To Georgia’s Citizens: During 2003, the 15,000 men and women of your Department of Corrections performed their mission of protecting the public by providing • safe and secure facilities for Georgia’s prisoners, • effective community supervision of probationers, • and meaningful opportunities for offenders to improve themselves. These public servants have performed this mission in difficult cir- cumstances. The number of offenders under our supervision con- tinues to rise—going from 168,000 to 173,000 over this last year, while our budget has decreased from 975,000,000 to 916,000,000. Our people met these challenges. We measure our success by the degree of safety we provide to you, our staff, and those in our custody. This year we have enhanced public safety by • maintaining our record of zero escapes from state prisons, • focusing additional resources on high-risk offenders who are on probation, and • refining and preparing to expand our day report center operations, which provide substance abuse treatment and educational opportunities for probationers and parolees. You will read more about these challenges and accomplishments as you read through this annual re- port. I would also like to especially thank the 800 employees of our department who are “twice the citi- zen.” Not only do they serve in the Department of Corrections, but they also serve in our nation’s military forces as Reservists and National Guardsmen. Over the last year, 250 of these men and women have been on active duty in Afghanistan, Iraq, and throughout the United States as a part of the Global War on Terrorism. They have my personal thanks and support. I also thank the employ- ees who stayed behind and took up where our reservists left off. Without their additional work and sacrifice, we could not have accomplished our mission. Finally, thank you for your support of the people of the Department of Corrections. Sincerely, Joe Ferrero Board of Corrections The 16-member Board, appointed by the Gover- nor, develops rules gov- erning the conduct of Corrections employees, the care of all inmates under Corrections’ cus- tody, and the manage- ment of all probationers sentenced to community supervision.

  • A Comparative Study of Female Sex Offenders and Female Offenders
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF FEMALE SEX OFFENDERS AND FEMALE OFFENDERS: EXPLORING ISSUES OF PERSONALITY, TRAUMA, AND COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS by SUSAN McCARTHY STRICKLAND (Under the Direction of Kevin DeWeaver) ABSTRACT Although crime rates are declining in recent years, crime rates for women are increasing. Incarceration rates have increased for women by 121% in the last 12 years (compared to an 84% rise for men) (Sacks, 2004). In comparison to the general population, female offenders tend to have higher levels of chemical dependency, personality disorders, childhood trauma histories, including sexual abuse (DOJ, 1992; 1994). In the last 10 years, sexual crime committed by women has been identified and adjudicated at higher frequencies. Few studies have investigated the characteristics of female sex offenders, factors and/or causes of female deviance, and how best to rehabilitate them. Research to date has been descriptive in nature, with few comparison studies. Since women share the similar socialization, sexual development, trauma histories, and gender-specific issues, the pathway to female sexual deviance is unclear. This study used a correlational design, comparing two independent groups. Three valid and reliable test instruments, the Multiphasic Sex Inventory – II (female version) (MSI-II), the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory – 3 (SASSI-3), and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), were used to identify differences between female sex offenders and other female offenders in the areas of personality disorders, chemical dependency, childhood trauma, sexual trauma, emotional neediness, cognitive distortions, and social competence. A sample of 130 incarcerated females, 60 sex offenders, and 70 non-sexual offenders, was used. Results indicate few differences exist between female sex offenders and female non-sex offenders.

  • President's Message
    March 2019 Newsletter editors: Holly Bayendor & Kathy Bourn PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE What a great conference! Thanks to all of you who drove to Augusta for the meeting. This was our first meeting on the east side of the state in recent memory. Our attendance was about the same as most spring meetings, so we appreciate all of you who drove a long way to get to Augusta. First, we need to thank the city of Augusta, especially Iman Hill. They put together goody bags for each of the keynote speakers. Augusta University worked well with us, and we had particular help from Pam Whitter and Renea Johnson. We had help at the site from student volunteers who are also beekeepers as well as their professors: Donna Wear and Zach Kelehear. The students helped with the lunch service, helped put out directional signs, and stepped up to the plate whenever we asked. Many special thanks to the Augusta area bee clubs. All of the snacks came from the Augusta clubs. The morning snacks and the afternoon cookie break were baked or provided by Augusta beekeepers. In addition, Augusta beekeepers contributed registration help, which really makes a difference in how we get people in the door. Pradeep Bapat, CW Hand, Robert and Dianne Holland (Dianne was working with a smashed thumb!) and David Logue all trained with me and then worked to reg- ister people. In addition, Augusta beekeepers David Logue and Lisa Hogue drove Kim Flottum to and from the conference to the Columbia, SC airport. We are very grateful to our sponsors for this meeting: Dadant and Mann Lake provided cash support.

  • THE DOC EAGLE Summer, 2003 “Soaring to Greater Heights of Excellence”
    Volume 2, Issue 1 THE DOC EAGLE Summer, 2003 “Soaring to Greater Heights of Excellence” Message From the Acting Commissioner... Georgia, its taxpayers, and its state agencies are facing a difficult time due to the economy. Our de- partment, in particular, faces the challenges of providing public safety by ensuring that we do not let even one of the 47,000 prisoners in our custody escape and that we provide effective supervision to the 125,000 probationers on our caseloads. We are doing this in Fiscal Year 2004 with $41 million less than we had last year. We can only perform our important mission, even in the best of times, with good leadership. Leadership is even more important during difficult times. And the kind of leadership we need must exist all the way from the commissioner’s office to the folks doing the front line work in our facilities and on the street. During my military duty in Washington, D.C., this summer, I have had the opportunity to visit some historic sites and many of the memorials in this city, from Mt. Vernon to the Lincoln Memorial. They Joe Ferrero have all reminded me of the leadership that our Founders and those who followed brought to our Acting Commissioner country during its difficult times. I have also had the opportunity to study while stationed here. Dur- ing my studies, I came across a quote from Colonel John Boyd, USAF (retired), who said that leader- ship is “the art of inspiring people to cooperate and enthusiastically take action toward the achieve- ment of uncommon goals.” (Cont.

    Case 5:04-cv-00342-DF Document 30 Filed 03/30/06 Page 1 of 27 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA MACON DIVISION EDNA G. PRIMAS, : : Plaintiff, : : vs. : 5:04CV342 (DF) : BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE : UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF : GEORGIA, : : Defendant. : O R D E R Plaintiff Edna G. Primas has sued Defendant Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, alleging claims for employment discrimination based on her race and gender under 42 U.S.C.A §§ 1981 & 1983 (West 2003) and under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.A. § 2000e et seq. (West 2003). Currently before the Court is Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (doc. 16). For the following reasons, Defendant’s motion is hereby granted. I. BACKGROUND Defendant Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (“Board”) manages and controls the Medical College of Georgia, which in turn operates an entity called Georgia Correctional Healthcare (“GCHC”). GCHC, under a contract with the Georgia Department of Corrections (“GDC”), provides medical services to Georgia Case 5:04-cv-00342-DF Document 30 Filed 03/30/06 Page 2 of 27 prisoners. Plaintiff Edna Primas, a black female, was employed by GCHC at Pulaski State Prison (“Pulaski State”) in Hawkinsville, Georgia, from August 12, 2002 until her termination on December 18, 2003. Apart from recognizing each other as parties to the lawsuit, there is very little in this case about which Primas and the Board can agree. While the parties generally agree that the work environment in the medical unit at Pulaski State was tumultuous during Primas’s tenure there, they disagree as to the cause — Primas insists that the medical unit was rife with racial antagonism, while the Board maintains that an internal personnel shakeup and Primas’s lack of interpersonal and management skills were to blame.
