The Department of Correctional Services is moving towards completion of a new automated central pharmacy that will save a projected $1.5 million per year for State taxpayers.

Construction is mostly complete on the 60,500 square-foot building on the grounds of Mid-State Correctional Facility. The structure will house a registered pharmacy with automated dispensing equipment that has the capac-ity to fill 5,000 prescriptions daily for all State correc-tional facilities, phased in over two years. The computer-ized operation will elimi-nate the need for all but emergency medication pur-chases from outside vendors and, like the Department’s Cook-Chill food production operation, has the potential to fill other State agencies’ and county jails’ needs at lower costs in the future. DOCS anticipates a Spring 2011 opening, with Central Office Health Services di-recting the operation and Marcy Correctional Facility providing support services.

The new building will also house administrative of-fices and the Department’s medication warehouse, which currently occupies 26,250 square feet above DOCS’ Food Production Center at Oneida Correctional Facility. The warehouse will continue to receive bulk medications for the automated central pharmacy to package as prescrip-tion refills and to be sent directly to about two-thirds of DOCS’ facilities – those that have access to in-prison pharmacies with on-site pharmacists who can dispense medication. The warehouse will also continue to provide medical supplies and over-the-counter medications to facilities. Some correctional facilities will continue to refill prescriptions at their own pharmacies or from their Hub/regional pharmacy.

The automated central pharmacy is expected to im-prove both the quality and cost-efficiency of constitution-ally-mandated medical services for inmates by allowing DOCS pharmacists more time to review and manage medication regimens and develop cost effective therapies while affording DOCS centralized control of complete and accurate inmate dispensing histories.

Existing pharmacy staff at facilities will remain in place. The central pharmacy will be fully staffed by civil-ians and will result in the addition of 27 employees, in-

cluding 21 in health ser-vices, four in security and two in support. The cost of new staff will be more than offset by: - No longer purchasing non-emergency prescription medication from two outside vendors that currently supply about one-third of correctional facilities which lack their own pharmacies. - Reducing the purchase price of medication by buying in greater volume.

- Creating efficiencies by centralizing pharmacy operations.

- Cutting costs by gaining more direct control and oversight of the pharmaceuticals dispensed to inmates, enabling the agency to buy generic drugs in place of brand-name medications currently supplied by outside vendors, for example.

- Operating a highly energy-efficient building. The Food Production Center plans to use the space

vacated by the medication warehouse to relocate the cen-ter’s maintenance department, now housed in an adjacent building, and to expand storage capacity for processed juice and packaging materials. The center may also use some of the space to meet increasing outside demand for its food products (see related story, page 7).

New Automated Central Pharmacy to Save Money, Improve Quality

DOCS’ new automated centralized pharmacy building is on track to receive a “gold” rating for energy efficiency - the highest in the American correctional community - under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system. The building will capture solar energy through rooftop photovoltaic cells for warehouse lighting and will use automated temperature set-back and lighting controls; high efficiency boilers, air conditioning systems and economizer cycles; operable office windows; and day lighting to reduce electric light use and heat load.

DOCS TODAY is published by the New York State Department of Correctional Services: David A. Paterson, Governor; Brian Fischer, Commis-sioner; Erik Kriss, Director of Public Information; and Linda Foglia, Assistant Public Information Officer. ON THE COVER: The masthead brings DOCS TODAY together with its past via “Copper John,” the Colonial soldier who has stood watch atop the front gate of Auburn, the state’s oldest prison, since 1821. PUBLICATION: DOCS TODAY is prepared in-house via desktop composition. Camera-ready pages are sent to the Elmira Correctional Facility and published in the print shop operated by the Division of Industries (Corcraft). Readers with Internet access can view the publication on the agency web site (www.docs.state.ny.us).

Message from the Commissioner We are in the process of transitioning to a new ad-

ministration on January 1, 2011, but our work continues. I believe we can make our prison system - already one of the nation’s best - even better on a number of fronts, as I outlined recently to facility superintendents and the New York Minorities in Criminal Justice and Corrections And Youth Services Association groups.

From a security standpoint, we need tougher consequences for those who abuse visiting privi-leges. Who enters our prisons, how they behave inside and who should be denied entry based on their behavior is critical to the safety of all us. Proper IDs will be our first step, followed by new visiting rules for both visitors and inmates. We should also remove free-standing personal computers to enhance security.

The centralized banking and commissary pro-gram we are developing will improve efficiency. Staff will no longer have to waste time opening and closing checking accounts every time we move an inmate. And we will eliminate duplication and improve the operation of our commissaries – which will no longer run out of items when outside vendors fail to make expected deliv-eries. We are also exploring the use of video conferenc-ing to reduce the cost of and facilitate communication between the central office and correctional facility execu-tive teams, beginning with maximum security facilities.

Wherever possible, we should reduce require-ments for producing written reports.

Expanding the computerization of law

libraries and the digital lit-eracy pro-gram, which affords in-mates a real-life experience with security c o n t r o l s , would enhance our efforts to improve offend-ers’ chances in the community. Ultimately, this

“inmate network” should be moved into our academic and vocational areas.

Whatever direction the new administration charts for the Department, and whatever consequences result from the ongoing need to reduce our workforce, I believe these improvements would help our employees better carry out our stated mission: to “enhance public safety by provid-ing appropriate treatment services, in safe and secure fa-cilities, that address the needs of all inmates so they can return to their communities better prepared to lead suc-cessful and crime-free lives.”

Commissioner Brian Fischer

Dr. Carl Koenigsmann has joined DOCS’ Executive Team after being appointed Deputy Com-missioner and Chief Medical Offi-cer by Commissioner Brian Fischer, who also assigned Associ-ate Commissioner Theresa Knapp-David to the Executive Team.

Dr. Koenigsmann, who joined DOCS in 1990 as a clinical physician at Taconic Correctional Facility and most recently served as Regional Medical Director of the Green Haven and New York City hubs, replaces Dr. Les-ter N. Wright. Ms. Knapp-David, who is responsible for classification and movement, temporary release and in-mate population management, takes the Executive Team

place of former Deputy Commis-sioner and Inspector General Rich-ard D. Roy.

Dr. Wright and Mr. Roy have retired. Director of Shock Incar-ceration Dr. Cheryl Clark, who helped pioneer the groundbreaking six-month, military boot camp style program for non-violent offenders in the late 1980s, is also retiring. Mr. Roy’s and Dr. Clark’s positions have not been filled, but Assistant Chief of Investigations/Director of Operations Vernon N. Fonda has assumed Mr. Roy’s duties as Acting Chief of Investigations/Inspector General and will report to Deputy Commis-sioner for Correctional Facilities Lucien J. Leclaire, Jr.

In a first for DOCS, Commissioner Fischer “skypes” with the New York Minorities in Criminal Justice an-nual training symposium in Batavia Sept. 24, 2010 from his computer in Albany, allowing both parties to see and hear the other.

DOCS has completed its system-wide reduction of limits on inmate property, enhancing security and fire safety and reducing staff man-hours required for cell searches and transfers.

The new limits restrict inmates to four bags of per-sonal property and were phased in beginning with newer offenders on January 1, 2009. The fourth and final stage took effect July 1, 2010.

In a memorandum to Department staff announcing the new statewide, standardized limits, Commissioner Brian Fischer noted that the accumulation of “excessive inmate per-sonal property” increases “the time consuming and labor intensive process of packing, searching and storing,” fire and safety hazards within inmate living quarters, risk of loss, theft and pilferage, the cost of storage areas, and sanita-tion and hygiene issues resulting from long-term storage of unused food items, clothing and pa-per.

Individual facilities had established differing limits over time through agreements with inmate liaison committees. Various programs, in-cluding Shock Incarcera-tion, Alcohol and Sub-stance Abuse Treatment, work release, sex of-fender units and Special Housing Units (SHUs), had also set varying limits.

Many facility administrators say the new, standard-ized limits have improved operations and staff morale.

“Limited property makes it easier to complete a thor-ough cell search,” said Thomas LaValley, Superinten-dent of DOCS’ largest facility, the men’s maximum se-curity Clinton Correctional Facility. “We have less stor-age space need, cell standards are easier to enforce and cell fire safety is less of a concern.”

Captain Thomas Fitzgerald of the women’s maxi-mum security Bedford Hills Correctional Facility said the limits have boosted staff morale, allow officers to complete more through cell searches and help inmates maintain a “healthy and clean living environment.” Wende Correctional Facility Superintendent Robert

Kirkpatrick agreed, noting American Correctional Asso-ciation auditors recently “commented positively on our facility’s cell standards.”

At Elmira Correctional Facility, a reception center for male offenders, Deputy Superintendent for Security Stephen J. Wenderlich noted there is “much less prop-erty to go through upon an inmate’s arrival in orienta-tion.” Deputy Superintendent for Security Christopher Miller at Coxsackie Correctional Facility noted fewer man-hours are required to process inmates into SHUs.

A d m i n i s t r a t o r s agreed the new limits make it easier to detect contraband. And, as Captain Anthony Russo of Eastern Correctional Facility noted, inmate property claims and in-mate complaints are both down. In fact, Eastern inmates, spurred by the facility’s Lifers and Long Termers Organiza-tion, donated more than a half-ton of excess clothing in late May 2010 to the homeless and the needy in nearby Newburgh and Middle-town. The new limits re-duced the number of bags of allowable prop-erty to seven in January 2009 for general con-finement inmates al-ready in the system, then to six, five and four bags

at each of the next six-month intervals. Draft bags, pur-chased from Corcraft, measure approximately 23-by-40 inches and can hold about 100 pounds. General confine-ment inmates are also allowed one permitted typewriter, one musical instrument, one additional draft bag of ac-tive legal materials and one television set in facilities where inmates by majority vote have approved televi-sions in cells in exchange for reduced package and other privileges.

Inmates housed in double cells that were converted from single cells are limited to three draft bags of prop-erty. Because of space limitations, inmates at the men’s minimum security Queensboro Correctional Facility – most of whom are within 90 days of release – are limited to two bags, including legal material, and one musical instrument or typewriter.

Reduced Limits on Inmate Property Enhance Security, Efficiency

Eastern Correctional Facility inmates (L-R) Dwayne Emery and Benjamin Wilson, Correction Counselor and staff advisor for the facility’s Lifers and Long Termers Organization Ines Fernandez, Rev. Thomas Fiet, inmateWil-liam Meachem, Superintendent William D. Brown, and inmates Kenneth Lewis and Jehan Rabdur-Raheem with some of the more than half-ton of clothing Eastern inmates donated to the homeless and needy in Newburgh and Middletown. “Both men and women benefited from your fantastic collec-tion donated,” Leslie A. Hoffman of the Ecclesia Ministries of Newburgh wrote in a letter of gratitude to Ms. Fernandez. “Please note that not one item of your donation will go to waste. If any of you involved were able to see the looks of thanks on the faces of the recipients of your gifts you would know just how much your generosity is appreciated.”

DOCS Security Staff: Bicycling for Charity, Endurance Sergeant Robert Wahlquist and Correction Officers Matthew Filipponi and Clif-ford Gunsett (L-R) of Green Haven Correctional Facility bicycled about 265 miles each in September 2010 for Tour de Force, a charity that raises money for the families of police officers

killed in the line of duty. The trio set out from the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. (above) on the ninth anniversary of the Sep-tember 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and ar-rived at Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan on September 14 to the applause of friends, family and construction workers. There, the cyclists observed a moment of silence before riding to the New York Police Department Memorial, where the names of the police officers killed in the attacks were read. The Green Haven contingent raised $6,000 of the $320,000 raised this year by more than 200 riders who participated in Tour de Force, which began in 2002 when New York City Police Detective Robert De Paolis and nine others made the same trek by bicycle to raise money for the victims of 9/11.

 

Correction Officer Brian Campbell of Oneida Correctional Facility completed the 17th annual Leadville Trail 100-mile Mountain Bike Race in Colorado on August 14, 2010, proving his mettle by cycling up and down a total of 14,000 feet through the heart of the Rocky Mountains in 11 hours. Officer Camp-bell, shown displaying his hard-earned medal, was among fewer than 1,000 fin-ishers of the 1,500 competitors from 48

states and 21 other countries, some of them professional moun-tain bikers, who set off at 6:30 a.m. in 34-degree temperatures in Leadville, elevation 10,200 feet. “It was a mass start out of town on pavement which quickly turned to dirt,” Officer Campbell wrote, describing steep and rocky climbs and descents in which he reached speeds around 50 miles per hour. “I saw a couple bad crashes; one rider hit his face on a rock and was bleeding very badly.” When Officer Campbell reached the 12,800-foot pinnacle after 15 straight miles uphill, “it was like being on top of the world up there, but difficult to breath, not much oxygen ... There were a couple times on the way back I did not think I could keep going - but there was no way I was going back to work and tell the guys I didn’t finish.” 

DOCS Funding Remedial Education Courses With Federal Grant DOCS has begun offering remedial education

courses and college information services to eligible in-mates, thanks to a federal grant through the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation.

The grant is part of Commissioner Brian Fischer’s ongoing effort to improve educational opportunity for offenders, at minimal cost to the State, to increase their chances to become productive, law-abiding citizens after release. The Commissioner signed a Memorandum of Understanding in May 2010 to enable eligible inmates to participate in the federally-funded College Access Chal-lenge Grant Program.

DOCS is receiving $180,000 through the program to provide remedial education and college information ser-vices from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011 and sig-nificantly increase participants’ ability to pursue or re-main in college education programs.

Inmates enrolled and eligible to be enrolled in the post secondary Incarcerated Individuals Program at Al-bion, Bare Hill, Greene and Washington Correctional Facilities can qualify.

DOCS contracted with Marist College to provide the program at Washington and Greene; with North Country Community College at Bare Hill; and with Medaille Col-lege at the women’s Albion facility. The program in-cludes remedial and tutorial classes in college math, writing and language arts skills for students enrolled in college courses, plus pre-college math and writing classes to help participants prepare for college placement testing and college-level course work. The participating colleges are also conducting informational and instruc-

tional workshops in college and career planning, college financial aid, college after corrections, and test taking and study skills.

During the Summer 2010 semester, 223 inmates par-ticipated in the program. Much of Summer 2010 was devoted to planning and implementation, and DOCS’ Division of Education anticipated an increase in the number of participants for the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 semesters.

Closing Another Chapter on the 1971 Attica Riot

The victims of the 1971 Attica Prison Riot and their family members, who call themselves the Forgotten Victims of Attica (FVOA), have received 129 separate letters and checks from DOCS, representing the last of the six $2 million installments of a $12 million award by New York State. The money was authorized by a special act of the Legislature to compensate this identi-fied class of victims, following a comparable payment by the State to the inmate victims of the riot as part of a separate lawsuit settlement.

In the normal course of events, state workers who are killed or injured on the job are restricted to Work-ers’ Compensation benefits as their exclusive remedy. Following a series of hearings, the Attica Task Force, created by former Governor George E. Pataki to look into the FVOA’s issues, recommended creation of this extraordinary remedy due to the unique circumstances surrounding the notorious riot and its aftermath.

Governor David A. Paterson visited the Albany Training Academy during the 2010 annual meeting of correctional facility superintendents on September 15 to thank DOCS employees for their hard work before he leaves office at the end of the year.

“People who work in correctional services are re-spected but often not recognized for the job you do,” Governor Paterson told them. “In spite of the dangers, in spite of the difficulties, you go forward. But what I think has been most unrecognized and is so unique about our corrections system here in New York is the efforts you make on behalf of the inmates who will inevitably re-enter society, whether it’s skills training, education pro-grams or the four re-entry (units). You’ve had to do more with less and have done as well if not better than any other agency that we have here in the government in the State of New York, and it’s for that that I was so pleased to come today and to thank all of you for your service.

“This has obviously been a very difficult period for the state. We have cut $42 billion in the last two and a half years – and you wonder why people have problems with me,” joked Governor Paterson, who was elected Lieutenant Governor in 2006 after 20 years as a State

Senator from Harlem and was sworn in as New York’s 55th Governor on March 17, 2008 to serve the remainder of the term that ends December 31, 2010.

Noting “18 years of consistent diminished crime” in New York State, Governor Paterson concluded, “It has been my highest honor to represent the State of New York and work with all of you. Unfortunately - and this is the way things are - some of the greatest efforts and some of the greatest results are unheard. As John Keats the poet once said, ‘Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.’”

Mother & Child Reunion: Pro-gram Marks 10th Anniversary

E x -o f f e n d e r B r u n i l d a R i v e r a (left) was h o n o r e d recently by the Chil-dren of Incarcer-ated Par-ents Pro-g r a m ( C H I P P ) for “tenacity and dedication in reuniting with her son,” Brandon (right), as Tammy White-Gonzalez, Special Assistant to the Di-rector of CHIPP, looks on during the ceremony Oct. 1, 2010 at the Brooklyn Marriott marking CHIPP’s 10th anniversary. “It is not easy for a formerly incarcerated parent to find housing, a job, meet their parole requirements and develop a support net-work as well as work towards reunification with their child,” CHIPP’s parent agency, the New York City Administration for Children’s Services, said in announcing the award. ACS called Ms. Rivera “a role model for other formerly incarcerated par-ents.” CHIPP helps facilitate parent-child visits, sibling visits and case conferences with incarcerated offenders, transporting children of offenders to a number of both men’s and women’s State correctional facilities; it also offers services, resources and technical assistance to more than 400 children as well as families and service professionals in the child welfare and criminal jus-tice systems.

The volume of collect and pre-paid telephone calls placed by inmates grew by 59 percent from April through September 2010 compared with the same period in 2009 following the completion of the installation of the new inmate phone system in March 2010. Technical problems and service interruptions with the system were down 37 percent during the same period.

DOCS’ contract with Unysis, which runs from Janu-ary 2010 through January 2013 with the option of two one-year renewals, allows inmates to place collect or pre-paid calls for less than five cents per minute with no connect fee charges. The average call has remained at about 20 minutes, but the cost dropped by 85 percent in three years, from $6.20 prior to April 2007 to 96 cents as of April 2010.

Since mid-May 2010, DOCS has added a total of 56 new inmate telephones at Elmira (26), Clinton (20), Sul-livan (5), Marcy (2) and Fishkill (1) Correctional Facili-ties and Edgecombe (2) Residential Treatment Facility. Another 56 are planned for Eastern (18), Auburn (12), Sing Sing (10), Upstate (10), Mid-State (3), Oneida (2) and Bedford Hills (1). Lower calling rates and addi-tional available phones encourage inmate contact with family members, strengthening the support systems that help offenders live law-abiding, productive lives after prison while assisting them during incarceration.

Inmate Roger Pragle of Great Meadow Correctional Facility tapped a natural, renewable resource in an effort to give back. With fellow inmate Michael Jones doing the snipping, Mr. Pragle donated his hair to Locks of Love, an established organization that uses such gifts to manufacture hair-pieces for cancer treatment patients and others who lose their hair. Al-though it took about five years for his hair to meet the 10-inch require-ment – and it’s the second time he’s donated, Mr. Pragle declared, “This is an easy way to help others.”

NIC Leadership Training

Three DOCS employees were honored at the New York Corrections and Youth Ser-vice Association’s 19th Annual Training Symposium in Niagara Falls in October 2010.

Patrick J. Perry, Correction Counselor at Clinton Correctional Facility and the Clin-ton Hub’s Training Liaison, received the Outstanding Contribution Award. In his 30th year with DOCS, Mr. Perry is responsible for mentoring young people in the Plattsburg area and organized the first New York Student Chapter – and only the second high school affiliate in the nation - of the American Correctional Association.

Correction Officer Reginald Wright of Great Meadow Correctional Facility, who has helped organize all the audio visual needs at this and previous CAYSA conferences, received the President’s Award.

And Leonard Morgenbesser, Ph.D, Program Research Specialist III in Central Of-fice and a CAYSA executive board member for 20 years, was presented the Rutherford B. Hayes Award. As chair of the Higher Education Committee, Dr. Morgenbesser helped facilitate academic accreditation of the Albany Training Academy.

Commissioner Brian Fischer and Mississippi Department of Corrections Commis-sioner and ACA President-Elect Christopher B. Epps spoke during the October 12-15 Symposium, “Navigating Through Turbulence.”

Three DOCS Employees Honored by CAYSA

DOCS management staff partici-pated in two leadership development programs conducted by the National Institute of Corrections at the Albany Training Academy recently at Commis-sioner Fischer’s request .

Twenty-three DOCS women from Deputy Superintendent, Assistant Di-rector and Director ranks participated in the Correctional Leadership for Women program, held August 30 to September 2, 2010 and featuring a team of facilita-tors from around the country led by Evelyn Bush of the NIC Prisons Divi-sion. Twenty-nine DOCS managers in Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent, Assistant Commissioner and Director positions participated in the Correc-tional Leadership Development pro-gram, held October 5 through 7, 2010 and coordinated by Dr. John Eggers, NIC’s top leadership trainer.

NIC plans to return for follow-ups to both sessions and to conduct an addi-tional course in Spring 2011.

Bishop Edward U. Kmiec of the Buffalo Diocese visited Attica Correctional Facility on June 2, 2010 to confirm five inmates, culminating a year of study for the men. With Sister Rosalino Rosolowski, the Bishop blesses inmate Benedict Agostini (above). Sister “Roz” and her fellow Attica chaplains, Deacon Heinz Friedman and Father Ivan Trujillo, were instrumental in preparing Mr. Agostini and inmates John Sloan, Gregory Victor, Flaviano Quintero and Pedro Santiago for their confirmation, which marks a reaffirmation of faith. Bishop Kmiec, who also held a Mass during his visit, emphasized that incarceration does not mean separation from God.

The State Comptroller’s Office has a simple recommendation for counties that aren’t already buying meals from DOCS’ Food Production Center for their local jail inmates: do it.

“County officials should consider using the DOCS Cook-Chill program to minimize the cost of providing food to a fluctuating inmate popula-tion,” an audit of the Cook-Chill program Comp-troller Thomas P. DiNapoli’s office released in July 2010 concluded.

A 2008 State law authorized DOCS to sell Cook-Chill products to any of the 57 counties outside New York City that choose to participate. So far, 21 counties have contracts to buy DOCS food products, up from 19 when the audit was released.

“Cost Savings Potential of the Department of Correctional Services Cook-Chill Program” cal-culated that those counties not availing them-selves of DOCS’ Cook-Chill products could save more than $11 million annually by doing so.

The Comptroller’s Office’s Division of Lo-cal Government & School Accountability exam-ined the local jails in Albany, Westchester, Alle-gany and Oneida counties for 2008 and 2009. Oneida has purchased Cook-Chill products since 1997; Allegany began buying some food prod-ucts from DOCS in October 2008. Albany and Westchester counties did not buy any food prod-ucts from DOCS during those years.

“County officials should be able to feed typi-cal inmates a 2,500-calorie diet for about $1.00 per meal or $3.00 per day,” auditors wrote. DOCS’ cost of food is about $2.65 per inmate per day.

DOCS’ Food Production Center, centrally located at Oneida Correctional Facility and ac-credited seven straight times by the American Correctional Association, produces a wide vari-ety of food and drink for the more than 57,000 inmates at all 68 DOCS facilities, as well as about 3,500 local jail inmates in the 21 partici-pating counties. The Cook-Chill process involves cooking food to a near-ready state, chilling it immediately after preparation and shipping it in large, sealed plastic bags that are easily reheated at facilities just before it is served.

Auditors noted counties buying Cook-Chill need less storage space, no fryers or stovetops, less food preparation time and fewer employees. “Oneida County fully utilizes Cook-Chill and serves about 485 inmates each day with five total paid staff,” the report noted.

“The Cook-Chill program makes it easier for the county to prepare only what is required for the facility’s fluctuating inmate population,” the report concluded. “It also helps the county pre-pare accurate portions because the bags come in standard portion sizes, therefore decreasing po-tential waste. Cook-Chill also provides a stan-dard menu, therefore eliminating the facility’s need to prepare a menu or ensure that the appro-priate caloric intake is maintained.”

The report found that Albany County could cut the cost to feed its jail inmates by more than half using Cook-Chill. Since the audit’s release, Albany County has enacted legislation to pur-chase Cook-Chill products.

DOCS has launched a new secure website that affords inmates nearing release access to information about community-based services, representing a major advance in Commissioner Brian Fischer’s efforts to use secure technolo-gies to improve re-entry services.

Run by the DOE Fund, a Brooklyn-based community service provider, the website is hosted inside DOCS’ secure inmate network, ensuring no inmate access to the internet. Of-fenders can simulate real-world experience by navigating the site to find information about

housing, employment and other services de-signed to assist them with re-entry. The site went live for inmates in the re-entry unit of the men’s medium security Hudson Correctional Facility on October 26, 2010 through thin client com-puters similar to those in use in many correc-tional facility law libraries.

DOCS intends to roll the program out to its other re-entry units and expects to add other ser-vice provider web sites as they come on line with the Department.

DOE Fund Website Offers Inmates Secure Re-Entry Help

LCTA Honors New Program Milestones; Shock Open to Re-offenders The Limited Credit Time Allowance (LCTA) pro-

gram, created in April 2009 to provide most non-Merit Time eligible inmates a potential six-month reduction in their sentence for good behavior and significant program achievements, has expanded to include four new statuto-rily-accepted program milestones:

- Two years’ work in the Division of Correctional Industries’ optical program and certification as an opti-cian from the American Board of Opticianry.

- Two years’ work in the Division’s asbestos abate-ment program as a hazardous materials removal worker (or 18 months as a group leader) and asbestos handling certification by the Department of Labor.

- One year of work as a sign language interpreter for inmates with hearing impairments, along with successful completion of the course curriculum and passage of the minimum competency screening process performance examination for signing.

- Two years’ work in the Puppies Behind Bars pro-gram. This addition clarifies in law a practice that was based on DOCS’ interpretation that a prior law allowing the awarding of LCTA for obtaining an apprenticeship program certification from the Department of Labor in-cluded participation in the Puppies program.

The new milestones, part of a departmental bill signed by Governor David A. Paterson, took effect Au-gust 13, 2010. The new qualifications join the previously authorized LCTA milestones of successfully completing two years of college programming, two years as an in-mate hospice aide, two years as an inmate program asso-ciate, obtaining a masters of professional studies degree or obtaining a Department of Labor certificate for suc-cessful participation in an apprenticeship program.

Like the Merit Time, Shock Incarceration and other earned early release programs, LCTA is aimed at keep-ing prisons safer and helping offenders return to society better-prepared to live crime-free lives by providing in-centives for good behavior and development of educa-tion and skills through prison programs.

Through September 2010, the tenth month of LCTA releases, the program – which is not open to first-degree murderers or sex offenders - has resulted in the earned early release of 156 inmates, including 21 women.

Another statutory change enacted this year expands the Shock Incarceration program to allow participation by inmates previously incarcerated in State prison for a non-violent or non-drug class A-1 felony offense. Until this year, any offender who had previously served time in State prison was automatically ineligible for Shock, the six-month, military boot-camp style program that teaches self-discipline and features academic education, intensive substance abuse treatment, group and individ-

ual counseling, life skills education and physical train-ing.

This year’s expansion follows the 2009 drug law reforms that opened Shock, which serves as an alterna-tive to up to three years in prison, to otherwise eligible non-violent offenders in their 40s and/or incarcerated in general confinement correctional facilities.

DOCS estimates the latest expansion will result in the screening of about 150 additional inmates per month for Shock and about 50 per month approved.

It’s now up to the Commissioner of Economic De-velopment, not the Commissioner of Correctional Ser-vices, to prepare adaptive reuse plans for facilities slated to close, under a change included in the public protection portion of the 2010-11 State budget.

Reuse reports are required at least six months before the closure of any correctional facility. This year’s change requires input into such reports from officials of all local governments and political subdivisions of the facility to be closed, as well as from appropriate state agency and state authority officials, in helping determine the potential to use the facility for another purpose.

Because the first reuse reports subject to the statu-tory change - for Lyon Mountain and Butler Correctional Facilities - were due July 31, 2010, shortly after enact-ment of the 2010-11 budget, they were jointly issued by Commissioner Brian Fischer and Department of Eco-nomic Development Commissioner Dennis M. Mullen. Lyon Mountain and the minimum security portion of Butler are scheduled to close January 31, 2011.

Inmates Sylvester Stroman (L) and Daniel House work in Wall-kill Correctional Facility’s optical shop. They and all nine other Wallkill inmates who took the American Board of Opticianry’s certification exam for dispensing opticians in May 2010 passed and now have their certificates.
