A CLOSE CUSTODY INMATE AT CENTRAL PRISON

In close security prisons, inmates remain in the prison 24 hours a day and have no assignments outside of the prison. Movement from one area of the prison to another is restricted. Armed correctional officers man security towers to stop escape attempts. At 3:30 AM, the first inmates are awakened. They are the kitchen workers who get up to prepare the morning meal. These inmates live and work together. Correctional officers escort them to the kitchen as a group. Each worker is thoroughly frisk searched before entering the kitchen. The first shift kitchen workers arrive at the kitchen for duty at 4 AM to begin preparing for breakfast and the day's meals. All inmates are awakened at 6 AM for the formal inmate count. Correctional staff count and recount inmates over and over throughout the day. Around 7 AM, the feeding of breakfast begins. All inmate workers report to their jobs at 7:30 AM. Second shift inmate workers may use the gyms, recreation yard and canteens. Inmates work in the kitchen, license tag plant or laundry, or perform maintenance or janitorial tasks during the day. Around 3 PM, the inmate usually checks his mail and spends some time on the recreation yard prior to returning to the dining hall for the evening meal at 4 PM. After the evening meal, the inmate will have access to the gym, auditorium or recreation yard. Depending on the day of the week, he may be involved in some organized recreational activities. On Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, there is non-contact visitation with individuals who are on the inmates approved visitors list. The visits are usually from one hour to one and one half hours in duration. At approximately 6:30 PM, inmates may attend classes in the school or take part in other activities such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Freedoms Journey Classes or Jaycees. At 8:30 PM, another formal count is conducted. At 9 PM, inmates return to their housing area and are allowed to watch television, play checkers, chess, cards or write letters.

PENDER CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION

In medium security prisons, most inmates remain in the prison 24 hours a day. Armed correctional officers supervise squads of inmates who leave the prison to work on road squads cutting brush or working the fields at the state prison farm.

The inmates assemble for the count, search and assignment to the road squads at 8 AM and over the next 30 minutes travel to their worksite. The squads work in Pender and three surrounding counties. Travel time may vary, but all squads are busy at work by 9 AM. Squads work until noon when they get a 30 minute break for lunch. They continue the work until around 3 PM. As they arrive at the prison at 3:30, each inmate must be searched. Inmates get cleaned up and prepare for dinner which begins at 4:30 PM. Afterwards, they may exchange clothing at the prison clotheshouse, report to staff for counseling or medical appointments or go to the prison yard. Inmates are locked into the dormitory at 7 PM.

All programs end at 9:30 PM and inmates return to their dorms to be counted. At 10pm, lights are dimmed in the sleeping area and inmates may remain in adjacent dayroom space.

Inmates must be within five years of release to enter minimum custody. Minimum security prisons prepare inmates for return to the community. While those entering minimum custody are assigned to jobs and remain at the prison, inmates in later phases leave the prison for work assignments. In the final stage of minimum custody, inmates may take part in work release jobs, family visits and community volunteer visits where they leave the prison in the custody of an employer, family member or volunteer. One of the many work assignments for minimum custody inmates is the community work squad, where inmates are supervised by a correctional officer in a short term, manual labor job for local governments or public agencies.
