Abstract
Following a brief summary of the year's highlights, the report outlines inmate movement and characteristics, inmate morale, mail and visit programs, disciplinary actions, and inmate congress meetings. Personnel, business management activities, the system 36 computer, maintenance, canteen operations, garage, food service, farm operations, and laundry are other topics covered in this report. Professional services offered at the facility include classification and education. During the reporting period, the academic and vocational programs continued to progress, meeting the needs of the growing inmate population in terms of imparting knowledge, skills, and motivation.
