Academic: General Education which includes literacy and math instruction: The Special Education program is for those with learning handicaps. Literacy/Remedial Reading (LRR) is for those functioning below the fifth-grade reading level. Adult Basic Education (ABE) is for offenders functioning between the fifth-grade level and eighth- grade level. General Education Development (GED) is for those at or above the eighth- grade level without a high school diploma; completion of GED earns the student a high school equivalency diploma. Counseling: This is a very broad category of treatment. It may include sex-offender, positive mental attitude (PMA), or pre-release counseling to ease the return to free society. Additionally, it may include anger management and many others, along with substance abuse. It offers programs for those with alcohol/drug programs and may include Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous (AA/NA) and other treatment modes. It also includes individual, group counseling modes and Specialized Intervention Units (SID) where the participants live together in treatment communities and assist each other to overcome their problems. 6 Program Descriptions Religious Activities: Offenders are assured religious freedom under the U.S. Constitution. Georgia Department of Corrections Chaplaincy Services will arrange to meet the need for any recognized faith, including services by and individual contact with ministers of that faith. Full-time and part-time chaplains also offer non-sectarian humanitarian assistance to any troubled offender. Religious instruction on the Bible, the Koran and other spiritual guides is available. Vocational/OJT: This section provides information on training for a particular job skill - classroom, shop and/or on-the-job training (OJT) requirements. Completion leads to the same certification or diploma offered by a free society training program. 7 North Region (LEE) ARRENDALE STATE PRISON 2023 GAINESVILLE HWY SOUTH POST OFFICE BOX 709 ALTO, GA 30510 (706) 776-4700 FAX: (706) 776-4710 PROGRAMS: Academic: Fast Track General Equivalency Diploma, Charter High School Counseling: Moral Reconation Therapy, Motivation for Change, Detour, Family Violence, Thinking for a Change, Re-Entry, Parenting, Relapse Prevention, Behavior Stabilization, Career Center, Children’s Center Recreation: General Recreation Religious Activities: Various Worship Services, Bible Study, & Pastoral Counseling Vocational/OJT: Small Engine Repair, Auto Mechanics, Auto Paint, Woodworking, Cosmetology, Electrical Wiring, Warehousing, Welding (Metal Fabrication), Food Service, Fire Department, Educational & Library Aides, Office Technology, Automotive Maintenance/Detailing, Farm Worker, and Veterinary Technician AUGUSTA STATE MEDICAL PRISON 3001 GORDON HWY GROVETOWN, GA 30813 (706) 855-4700 FAX: (706) 855-4958 PROGRAMS: Academic: GENERAL Education Diploma, Adult Basic Education, Literacy/Remedial Counseling: Motivation for Change, Thinking for a Change, Family Violence, Moral Reconation Therapy, Matrix Early Recovery Skills & Relapse Prevention, SOPP, Reentry Skill Building, Activity Therapy, TOPSTEPP, Specialized Groups for Mental Health Recreation: General Recreation Religious Activities: Various Worship Services, Bible Study, Prayer Group Vocational/OJT: Food Preparation, Barbering, Laundry Services, & Horticulture 8 North Region BALDWIN STATE PRISON 301 LAYING FARM ROAD POST OFFICE BOX 218 HARDWICK, GA 31034 (478) 445- 5218 FAX: (478) 445 – 6507 PROGRAMS: Academic: GED, ABE, Literacy Remedial Education, Special Education Counseling: HIV Awareness, Positive Mental Attitude, Re-Entry, T4C, Celebrate Recovery, Family Violence, Integrity Program, Numerous Mental Health Groups, M4C, AA Recreation: General Recreation Religious Activities: Various Worship Services, Gospel Music, Pastoral Counseling Vocational/OJT: Food Preparation, Horticulture, Graphic Arts, Meat Cutting, Maintenance, Fork Lift operation, Barber BURRUSS CORRECTIONAL TRAINING CENTER 1000 INDIAN SPRINGS DRIVE POST OFFICE BOX 5849 FORSYTH, GA 31029 (478) FORSYTH, GA 31029 (478) 994-7511 FAX: (478) 994-7561 PROGRAMS: Academic: General Education Diploma, Adult Basic Education, Literacy, Correspondence Courses, Title I and Special Education, Bartlett Reading, English as A Second Language Counseling: Family Violence, Motivation for Change, Re-Entry, Thinking for A Change, Moral Recognition Therapy Recreation: General Recreation, Wellness Walk Religious Activities: Various Worship Services, Bible Study, Confronting Self Concepts, Heads Up Kairos Reunion, Specialized Dorm “New Beginnings” Vocational/OJT: Custodial, Food Preparation, Horticulture, Customer Service, Teacher Aides, Veterinarian Assistant (Guide Dog Program), Warehouse Management, Forklift Driver, Barbering, Food Service Preparation & Cooks 9 North Region CENTRAL STATE PRISON 4600 FULTON MILL ROAD MACON, GA 31208 (478) 471-2908 FAX: (478) 471-2068 PROGRAMS: Academic: Literacy/Remedial, Adult Basic Education, General Education Diploma Preparation Counseling: Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous, Motivation for Change, Thinking for A Change, Case Management, Individual Counseling, Family Violence, Thinking For A Change, Moral Recognition Therapy, Lifer's Confronting Self Concept, Health Awareness Recreation: General Recreation, Wellness Program, Special (Mental Health/Mental Rehabilitation) Recreation Religious Activities: Various Worship Services, Pastoral Counseling, Religious Education Vocational/OJT: Carpentry, Plumbing, Building Maintenance, Correctional Industries Garment Manufacturing GEORGIA DIAGNOSTIC AND CLASSIFICATION PRISON 2978 HWY 36 WEST POST OFFICE BOX 3877 JACKSON, GA 30233 (770) 504-2000 FAX: (770) 504-2006 PROGRAMS: Academic: General Education Diploma, Remedial, Literacy, Adult Basic Education, OJT Counseling: Family Violence, Psychological Education Groups for Mental Health Offenders, Motivation for Change Recreation: General Recreation Religious Activities: Various Worship Services, Study Groups, Pastoral Counseling 10 North Region HANCOCK STATE PRISON 701 PRISON BLVD POST OFFICE BOX 339 SPARTA, GA 31087 (706) 444-1000 FAX: (706) 444-1137 PROGRAMS: Academic: General Education Diploma, Adult Basic Education, Literacy Remedial Counseling: Motivation for Change, Re-entry, Matrix Early Recovery Skills, MRT, Thinking for a Change, Relapse Prevention, SOPP, Individual Counseling, Confronting Self, and Lifers Group Recreation: General Recreation Volunteer Services: Heads-Up, AA Religious Activities: Activities: Seventh Day Adventist, Jehovah Witness, Catholic, Protestant, General Services, Jumah and Talim services weekly.

  • 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.

  • Issue in Brief: Prisoner Reentry
    ISSUE IN BRIEF: PRISONER REENTRY BY: ERICH COCHLING AND PATRICK KAISER | JUNE 2014 JULY 2013 georgiaopportunity.org Issue in Brief: Prisoner Reentry July 2013 Issue in Brief: Prisoner Reentry INTRODUCTION The number of people who are in prison, in jail, on parole, or on probation is far too high nationwide – 1 in 31 adults.1 Far more startling is that 1 in 13 adults are under one of these forms of correctional supervision in the State of Georgia.2 The state’s prison population is currently the fourth largest in the nation at 57,570 offenders. 3 With such a large prison population, Georgia releases a large number of prisoners each year (19,172 offenders in 2012 and an average of 20,537 offenders over the last five years reported).4 Of those released in 2012, 8,960 were paroled, 5,187 were released to serve a sentence of probation, and 1,379 maxed-out their prison sentence and were under no supervision at all.5 In recent years, the Governor’s office and the Georgia Legislature has made significant strides in reducing the number of offenders entering into correctional supervision in the first place.6 Those efforts are showing good signs of slowing the pipeline to prison.7 At the same time, the Department of Corrections and various nonprofits have focused significant work on reentry, as offenders who receive the necessary support in transitioning from prison to the commu- nity are less likely to recidivate.8 State agencies, non-profits, businesses, churches, and other community stakeholders have identified barriers to reentry and many are doing excellent work.

  • In the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia Macon Division
    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.
