THE SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE RESPONDED TO THE SEVERELY OVERCROWDED CONDITIONS IN STATE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS BY APPROVING IN 1974 AND 1975 A $37.5 MILLION CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.

Abstract

THIS REPORT PRESENTS, IN SUMMARY, THE RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF THE FULL $37.5 MILLION AND IDENTIFIES THE TEN-YEAR CAPITAL NEEDS OF THE DEPARTMENT BASED UPON EXISTING GROWTH TRENDS. THE PLAN, PRESENTED IN DETAIL IN A COMPLETE TECHNICAL REPORT, ALSO IDENTIFIES THE FISCAL IMPACT OF ALTERNATIVE GROWTH POLICIES. WITHIN THIS FIVE MONTH ANALYSIS, RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE REGARDING THE DECENTRALIZATION OF INSTITUTIONS, OPERATION COST PARAMENTERS, FUTURE CONSTRUCTION NEEDS AND PRIORITIES, AND FINANCIAL NEEDS TO ACCOMMODATE GROWTH. THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES WILL REQUIRE CONTINUED INTERNAL POLICY AND ADMINISTRATIVE MODIFICATIONS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT AND THE TIME REQUIRED TO DEVELOP THESE CHANGES FOR THE FULL TECHNICAL REPORT, SEE NCJ-42919.
