Overview of the North Carolina

Department of Correction

The North Carolina Department of Correction, one of the largest agencies in State government,

is responsible for the custody, supervision, and rehabilitation of adult offenders sentenced to

community/ intermediate punishments or prison. The Department is comprised of four divisions

that manage offenders directly, as well as numerous administrative support sections. The major

Divisions include the Division of Prisons, the Division of Community Corrections, and the

Division of Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency Programs.

The Department developed a long- range strategic plan, which is based on the following vision

statement and strategic issues:

Vision Statement

We, the employees of the Department of Correction, envision a organization respected

by the citizens of North Carolina for its effectiveness in responding to the problem of crime in

our society and working collaboratively with others to prevent crime through community

involvement. We see an organization providing public safety, opportunities for offenders to

become productive citizens, and growth and development of employees. We see ourselves

contributing to the creation of a society of law- abiding, responsible citizens.

Strategic Issues

· Lead proactively regarding corrections issues.

· Develop and train employees for personal and professional growth.

· Deliver effective services and programs using research and advanced

technology.

· Emphasize cost efficient management of resources and accountability for

high quality results.

There are over 18,500 employees in the Department of Correction, primarily working directly

with offenders in the community or in prisons. The Department is funded through legislative

appropriations and receipts ( e. g. Corrections Enterprises). The Department’s total authorized

budget and actual expenditures for the past five fiscal years are shown in the table below.

I. Division of Prisons

The Division of Prisons is responsible for the custody, supervision, and rehabilitation of

over 30,000 inmates. As of June 30, 2000, there are 76 state prisons in North Carolina and 7

contracted facilities operated by private non- profit or private, for- profit entities. In order to

protect the community, staff, and inmates, the Division of Prisons classifies prisons, inmates,

and prison beds according to prison security designation, inmate custody classification, and bed

security levels.

The Secretary of the Department of Correction assigns the security designation of the prison

based on the physical design and structure of the prison, the type of cells in the prison ( e. g.

single cells, dormitories), and the intensity and type of staff supervision ( e. g. armed, unarmed).

Currently, according to the Division of Prisons administration, there are 12 close, 22 medium,

and 42 minimum security state prisons.

The Division receives felons and misdemeanants sentenced to prison by the court for a period

of incarceration ranging from a minimum of 90 days for certain misdemeanors to life

imprisonment for crimes such as rape or murder. Prison staff classify the individual inmate's

custody by analyzing factors such as current crime, length of sentence, past criminal history,

and past prison behavior record. At the end of the 1999- 2000 fiscal year, there were 5,072

close ( 16%), 15,105 medium ( 48%), and 11,402 minimum ( 36%) custody inmates in prison.

The prison's mission and function determines bed security level. For example, medium security

prisons contain mostly medium security beds. However, they also contain some minimum

security beds for minimum custody work crews. Also, Central Prison, a close security prison,

may house a minimum custody inmate in a medium security hospital bed if the inmate needs to

be in the hospital.

The Division also provides rehabilitative activities for inmates. These activities include jobs,

educational programs, vocational programs, substance abuse intervention, mental health

intervention, and religious services.

Costs of Incarceration for Fiscal Year 1999- 2000

The Department calculates an average cost of incarcerating minimum, medium, and

close custody inmates annually. The figures include the direct costs of inmate

supervision/ custody and programs/ activities, and indirect administrative costs for Department

support of prisons. The average daily cost of incarcerating one inmate ranges from $ 52.52 in

minimum custody to $ 75.32 in close custody.

Inmate Custody Level Daily Cost per Inmate Annual Cost per Inmate

Minimum $ 52.52 $ 19,222

Medium $ 68.13 $ 24,936

Close $ 75.32 $ 27,567

Average $ 63.65 $ 23,296

Page 4 – Fiscal Year 1999- 2000

The Department contracts for inmate housing in two private, for profit medium security prisons,

four private non- profit minimum security substance abuse treatment prisons, and one private

profit minimum security community re- entry prison. In October 2000, the Department of

Correction assumed operation of the two private prisons. The table indicates the contracted

operating cost per day per inmate for each of these prisons for the 1999- 2000 fiscal year.

A. PRISON ADMISSIONS

Prison Admission Trend

During fiscal year 1999- 2000,

there were 24,161 admissions to

North Carolina prisons.

Prison admissions have remained relatively stable since 1997, primarily due to Structured

Sentencing policies and resources. The trend for prison admissions demonstrates a

decrease of approximately 1,000 inmates from fiscal year 1998 to fiscal year 1999. This is

due in part to a reorganization of programs within the Department of Correction. In past

years, the IMPACT boot camp program was part of the Division of Prisons, but it was

administratively transferred last year when the statute was rewritten to define it as an

Intermediate Punishments.

Type of Admissions

There are four types of admissions to prison: new admissions, probation revocations,

parole/ post- release supervision revocations, and safekeepers/ pre- sentence diagnostic inmates.

Page 6 – Fiscal Year 1999- 2000

The vast majority of admissions to prison in fiscal year 1999- 2000 are for probation revocations

( 47%) and new admissions ( 40%). New admissions result from a court- imposed active

sentence to prison. Revocations are a result of violations to the conditions of probation, parole,

or post- release supervision. Safekeepers are unsentenced defendants admitted to prison when

detention in the local jail poses a danger from other jail inmates, or presents a threat to others,

or when medical care is needed. Pre- sentence diagnostic admissions ( PSD) are inmates who

have been convicted, but the judge requests an assessment before sentencing.

Admissions by Sentencing Grids

The Structured Sentencing Act became effective in 1994. This sentencing policy prescribes

sentencing options for judges based on the severity of the crime and the prior record of the

offender. Judges are provided with specific sentencing options for the type and length of

sentence that may be imposed. DWI admissions and pre- structured sentencing inmates are

sentenced under different laws. The charts below illustrate the distribution of fiscal year 1999-

2000 prison admissions for misdemeanants and felons.

Convictions for Class 1 misdemeanors represent the largest group of misdemeanor prison

admissions. Offenses in Class 1 include breaking and entering, and non- trafficking drug

offenses. Convictions for Driving While Impaired ( DWI) are the next largest contributor to

misdemeanor of admissions. These convictions are not part of Structured Sentencing but rather

under the Safe Roads Act of 1983. The third most numerous crime class for misdemeanor

admissions to prison is Class A1. Almost all of the Class A1 offenses are assaults. The

remainder of the misdemeanor offenses resulting in an admission to prison include worthless

checks, assaults, property and public order offenses.

Eighty- two percent of all felony prison admissions in fiscal year 1999- 2000 were for Class F

through Class I offenses. Class H, Prior Record II, offenses represent the largest group of felons

admitted to prison with 2,006 admissions in fiscal year 1999- 2000. Forty percent of all felony

admissions were for Class H offenses. The majority of these are non- trafficking drugs, breaking

and entering, and larceny crimes. Class I offenses make up the next largest group two- thirds of

which are for non- trafficking drug offenses, but also include forgery and breaking and entering.

Class G also includes non- trafficking drug offenses as well as trafficking drugs and robbery.

Sexual offenses, assaults and habitual driving while impaired are offenses in Class F.

The remaining felony classes contain the most serious offenses. Class A is first degree murder

and carries a punishment of death or life without parole. The majority of Class B1 offenses are

sexual assaults. Most B2 admissions are for second degree murder but there are some first

degree murders and sexual assaults in this class. In Class C, there were 495 admissions of

habitual felons. Approximately 70% of Class D admissions are for robbery. Finally, Class E

contains mostly crimes against a person including assaults, kidnapping and abduction, robbery,

and manslaughter.

Crime Type of 1999- 2000 Prison Admissions

Overall, 68% of the 24,161 prison

admissions are for felony crime

convictions. Crimes resulting in a prison

sentence are grouped in one of three

categories: public order, property, and

crimes against a person.

The most frequent crime type for prison

admissions is public order crimes. This

crime type accounted for 44% of all

admissions during the 1999- 2000 fiscal

year. This crime type includes drug

offenses ( 5,616), Driving While Impaired

( 2,581), traffic violations ( 1,027), and

other public order crimes ( 1,295) such

as habitual felon and possession of a

firearm by a felon. Among public order

crimes admissions, 66% are for felonies.

B. PRISON POPULATION

Prison Population Trend

On June 30, 2000 there were

31,396 offenders in the prison

system. The prison population

has remained stable over the

past four years, after a slight

increase from 1995 to 1996,

probably due to Structured

Sentencing policies and

resources.

Although 27% of prison admissions in fiscal year 1999- 2000 are misdemeanants,

misdemeanants comprise only 6% of the population on June 30, 2000. This is largely due to

shorter sentence lengths for of misdemeanor offenses. The majority of misdemeanant inmates

in the prison population are incarcerated for DWI, Class A1 or Class 1 offenses ( Prior Record

Level of II or III).

The profile of the felony inmate population is very different from the profile of felony admissions

to prison. Class A- E offenses represent 18% of prison admissions but 51% of the prison

population on June 30, 2000. Felons have long sentences so they remain in the population over

a long period of time. For example, consider the difference in the admissions for Class A

offenders and the number in the population. There were 70 Class A admissions last fiscal year

and on June 30, 2000 there were 1,051 in the population. The sentence for these offenders is

either life in prison or death. On June 30, 2000 there were 209 inmates housed on death row.

The graph illustrates the crime type of the prison population at the end of the fiscal year in 1995

through 2000. There have been minor changes in the composition of the prison population

during this time period, but these changes may increase over time. It is evident that the

proportion of property offenses in the prison population had decreased over the past five years,

from 28% of the population in 1995 to 19% in 2000. There has been an increase in the

proportion of both public order and crimes against a person in the prison population. Public

order offenses comprised 23% of the population in 1995 and have increased to 29% in 2000. In

1995, 49% of the population were incarcerated for crimes against a person and in 2000 it was

52%.

Inmate Activities

The Division of Prisons coordinates a wide range of inmate work, educational, and

rehabilitative programs. Inmates are required to either work full time or to be assigned to a full

time program. Only inmates who pose a security risk, have health problems, or are in the

admissions process are exempt from the policy.

Work

In each prison facility, inmates are assigned a variety of jobs. Inmates are paid an incentive

wage, which is set by statute for the majority of these duties. Currently the incentive wage

ranges from $. 40 to $ 1.00 depending on the work assignment. Most inmates ( 67%) work inside

prison facilities.

Page 12 – Fiscal Year 1999- 2000

Unit Services - The largest assignment in prison facilities is Unit Services. Prison inmates in

these jobs perform janitorial and general maintenance duties.

Food Service – Inmates work in the kitchens of all prison facilities preparing and serving food to

other inmates. This assignment provides a relevant job skill and is beneficial to the prison

system because it reduces the cost of operating the facilities.

Correction Enterprises - Correction Enterprises is a separate division of the Department of

Correction, which administers industries on prison sites. Enterprise jobs provide opportunities to

put close and medium custody inmates to work inside prisons. Inmates are employed making

car license tags, street signs and highway signs, farming, food processing, printing, sewing,

laundries, and manufacturing. These jobs teach workers job skills and a work ethic that will

enable them to find employment upon release for prison. These jobs earn up to $ 3 per day in

incentive wage based on skills required for the job.

Prison Maintenance - Prison inmates are also involved in grounds keeping, light construction,

repair, and maintenance projects at prisons. These jobs include roofing, plumbing, wiring, and

other unit improvements.

Construction - In addition to cleaning and maintaining prisons, some inmates are assigned to

new prison construction projects. Inmates are generally chosen based on pre- existing skills in

the construction industry. As with the other categories of work, this experience gives inmates

valuable work experience for their release and helps to reduce the cost of new construction.

Road Squads - Minimum and medium custody inmates work on the state's roads, patching

potholes, clearing right- of- way and picking up litter. Medium custody inmates work under the

supervision of armed correctional officers. Minimum custody inmates work under the direction of

Department of Transportation employees.

Community Work Crew / State and Local Government Agencies - Minimum or medium custody

inmates are assigned to Community Work Crews of ten inmates. One correctional officer

supervises them and they perform short- term, labor- intensive projects such as hurricane

cleanup, litter cleanup, painting schools and cleaning school buses.

Work Release - Inmates who have proven themselves worthy of limited release from custody

are allowed to leave the prison unit for jobs. These inmates are nearing their release date and

work for businesses in the community. North Carolina started the first work release program in

the country in 1957. Inmates on work release receive prevailing market wages from their

employers, but must pay a room- and- board fee to the prison unit. For fiscal year 1999- 2000

inmates paid the Department of Correction over $ 4.4 million in per diem ($ 14 per day) and over

one million dollars for transportation and job- related expenses. They also paid court costs, child

support, fines, victim’s compensation, and restitution. The total paid during the period for these

items was $ 2,436,445.

Programs

Inmates are recommended for participation in programs based on interests, abilities, needs

and whether the time remaining in their sentence allows completion of the program. Academic

and vocational education is offered on a full time basis at large institutions.

Academic Program - The Division of Prisons works with the community college system to

provide a full range of academic programs in prison. Adult basic education is the primary

academic program for inmates. It provides the basic knowledge, skills and attitudes to make

adult and youth inmates literate. Educational programs also prepare inmates for meaningful and

satisfying roles as working, contributing members of society. Approximately ninety percent of

prison facilities offer academic programs for inmates. In 1999, more than two thousand inmates

passed the General Education Development ( GED) test. Inmates who complete the GED or

who possess a high school diploma may be considered for participation in several degree

programs and a special " Youth Offenders" program. Associate degree programs are offered by

community colleges and bachelor degree programs are offered at two prison sites through

Shaw University, a private university based in Raleigh, NC. The Department of Correction also

contracts with the University to provide Independent Studies courses and a limited number of

university credit classroom courses.

Vocational Program - A wide variety of vocational programs such as computer literacy, food

service training, electrical engineering technology, brick masonry, and job readiness are

provided through local community colleges. Participation in these programs can help inmates

obtain work with Correction Enterprise or a work release assignment.

Life Skills Programs – Life skills programs include several types of programs such as parenting

skills, team activities and Cognitive Behavioral Intervention ( CBI). CBI programs teach offenders

new skills and new ways of thinking that can lead to changes in their behavior and actions, and

ultimately affect their criminal conduct. CBI programs use a combination of approaches to

increase an offender’s awareness of self and others. This awareness is coupled with the

teaching of social skills to assist the offender with interpersonal problems. These specific types

of intervention programs assist an offender in “ restructuring” the thought process and teach

“ cognitive skills” to assist in basic decision- making and problem- solving. These programs are

lead by prison or community college staff that have been trained by the Department of

Correction.

Inmate Disciplinary Infractions

Inmate conformity to prison rules is necessary for the orderly, safe, and secure operation of

correctional facilities. Effective, fair, and consistent disciplinary procedures enhance the orderly

operation of the facility and reinforce appropriate behavior and responsibility. Disciplinary

offenses are divided into five classes, Class A offenses are the most serious and Class E

offenses are the least serious. An inmate can be charged with an attempt to commit an offense,

and that attempt is in the same Class as the infraction itself.

In the 1999- 2000 fiscal year there were 61,132 infractions. Of these, 1,769 were Class A

infractions of which 743 were assaults on staff. There were 10,290 Class B infractions

including provoking an assault, lock tampering, possession of a weapon or substance, and a

North Carolina Department of Correction Annual Statistical Report

Page 14 – Fiscal Year 1999- 2000

sexual act. The majority of the entire year’s infractions were for Class C offenses, of which

there were 39,779 or 65% of the total for the year. Approximately half of these, or 19,507 were

for disobeying an order. Other Class C infractions include profane language, fighting, verbal

threat, unauthorized leave, and theft of property. Being in an unauthorized location, possession

of unauthorized items ( including clothing and money), and tampering with property are some of

the infractions that make up the 9,123 in Class D. The last category, Class E had relatively few

( 171) including faking an illness, misusing supplies, and an unclean room or body.

privileges including radio, organized sports, visitation, or other leisure time activities and

privileges.

Escapes and Captures

The primary goal of the Department is to protect the community. However, some inmates

escape from prison each year though most are apprehended. In 1999- 2000 there were 101

escapes. Of these, 98 were inmates assigned to minimum custody. Minimum custody inmates

are often on work release and participate in other activities in the community. Many escapes

North Carolina Department of Correction Annual Statistical Report

Page 15 – Fiscal Year 1999- 2000

are the result of the inmate not returning on time. Approximately 75% of escapes are captured

in two days or less and many in the same day. As of September 2000, there were only 6

individuals of the 101 that remained on escape.

In addition to returning recent escapees to prison, each year there are captures of inmates that

escaped in previous years. From July 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000 95 escapees from this year

were returned and 19 from previous years were captured, for a total of 114 captures by the

Department.

Releases from prison are affected by sentencing policies and prison resources. Inmates are

usually released from prison due to the expiration of their sentence or on parole ( sentences

prior to Structured Sentencing).

Type of Release

The majority ( 69%) of releases from prison in the 1999- 2000 fiscal year were due to the

expiration of an inmate’s sentence. An additional 17% of releases were released on parole.

Only non- structured sentence inmates are eligible for parole. In fiscal year 1998- 1999, 21% of

prison exits were for parole. This decrease in parole exits is expected to continue since the

proportion of the prison population sentenced prior to Structured Sentencing will continue to

decrease. However, the number of post- release inmates will increase. These are releases of

Safekeeper and Pre- sentenced diagnostic ( PSD) releases are unsentenced inmates who are

held temporarily in prison. Most prison exits in the category labeled All Others are court ordered

releases, but also include the death of the inmate, Interstate Correctional Compact, and

execution. Through the Interstate Correctional Compact inmates are transferred to facilities in

other states. There were three executions in 1999- 2000.

Time Served by Inmates Released in Fiscal Year 1999- 2000

North Carolina enacted numerous sentencing laws in the 1970’ s, 1980’ s, and 1990’ s that

govern when and how inmates are released from prison. In 1994, North Carolina enacted

Structured Sentencing guidelines. The purpose of Structured Sentencing is to use prison for the

most serious and chronic offender, and to incarcerate those offenders for longer periods of time.

Less serious and less chronic offenders receive punishments in the community, or shorter

prison sentences. Structured Sentencing abolished discretionary parole release and authorized

judges to set a minimum and maximum sentence for felons and a flat sentence for

misdemeanants, based on the severity of the crime of conviction and the prior record level of

the offender. Felony Structured Sentencing inmates must serve the entire minimum sentence

and may served the maximum sentence, an additional 20% above the minimum sentence. For

example, an inmate with a minimum sentence of 5 years also has a maximum sentence of 6

years. The inmate must serve 5 years and may serve up to 6 years unless he earns credits off

of the maximum sentence for good behavior, working, and participating in programs. Therefore,

all felony inmates sentenced under Structured Sentencing will serve at least 100% of their

minimum sentence. In FY 1999- 2000, 10,275 Structured Sentencing felons were released from

prison. These inmates served, on average, 12 months in prison. Since Structured Sentencing

is relatively new, these releases reflect inmates with relatively short sentences for less serious

offenses. Time served is expected to rise in the future when inmates who are now receiving

long sentences under Structured Sentencing are released. These felony releases served 111%

of their minimum sentence.

Judges order misdemeanants to serve a specific sentence and they can earn 4 days per month

off the sentence for good behavior, working, and participating in programs. For example, a

misdemeanor inmate who has a sentence of 4 months must serve 3.5 months and may serve

up to 4 months. During this period, 3,404 Structured Sentencing misdemeanants were

released. These inmates served, on average, 3.9 months. They served, on average 95% of

their sentence.

Prior to Structured Sentencing inmates were sentenced under several different sentencing laws

that allowed the Parole Commission to release inmates early from prison on parole. Sentences

under these laws appear longer than Structured Sentencing sentences, but judges knew when

they ordered a sentence that the inmate would not serve anywhere near the full sentence. The

major determinants of when inmates were released from prison under these parole- eligibility

laws depended on the good time and gain time credits the inmate earned. Prior to Structured

Sentencing, as soon as the inmate entered prison, he was awarded good time credits which

reduced his sentence by 50%, and he could also earn additional gain time credits off of his

sentence for certain behaviors. Therefore, it is not possible to make accurate comparisons of

time served or percent of sentence served between inmates released from prison under

Structured Sentencing laws and non- Structured Sentencing laws. Comparisons are not

North Carolina Department of Correction Annual Statistical Report

Page 18 – Fiscal Year 1999- 2000

meaningful when the policies and intent of sentencing laws are so different. In fiscal year 1999-

2000, 1,619 non- Structured Sentencing felons were released from prison. On average,

because these inmates represented some very serious offenses, they served 68.6 months.

These inmates served, on average, 36% of their court- imposed sentence, due to good time,

gain time and parole eligibility rules. During this period, 1,367 non- Structured misdemeanants

were released from prison. These inmates served, on average, 4.5 months. These inmates

served, on average, 40%, of their court- imposed sentence due good time, gain time and parole

eligibility rules.

II. Division of Community

Corrections

The Division of Community Corrections provides supervision of offenders sentenced to

probation or released from the Division of Prisons on parole or for post- release supervision.

Probation/ parole officers control offenders in the community by enforcing compliance with the

conditions of probation, parole or post- release supervision and monitoring offender behavior.

Officers refer offenders to rehabilitative services and work with other agencies to encourage

participation in programs such as substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment,

educational, and vocational training. As of June 30, 2000 there were 111,208 offenders under

the supervision of the Division of Community Corrections. As of June 30, 2000, there were

1,981 probation/ parole officer positions in North Carolina.

The Structured Sentencing Act ( SSA), enacted in 1994, provides judicial guidelines for judges to

sentence offenders to a community punishment, intermediate punishment, or active sentence in

prison. As well as prioritizing prison resources for the most serious and chronic offenders, the

SSA shifts some less serious, less chronic offenders from prison sentences to intermediate

punishments in the community. Intermediate punishments are designed to be very intrusive and

intense, restricting the offender’s liberty while they remain in the community; community

punishments are not as restrictive. The judge determines whether to order an intermediate or a

community punishment based on the seriousness of the offense and the offender’s prior

criminal record. Examples of community punishments are traditional probation, community

service, and victim restitution. Examples of intermediate punishments are intensive supervision,

electronic house arrest, and boot camp.

In order to comply with the intent of the Structured Sentencing Act, the Division of Community

Corrections developed a new case management policy. Offenders on probation, parole, or

post- release supervision are supervised based on the court sentence received, conditions

imposed, their behavior, and needs. If an offender initially receives an intermediate punishment

in court, or if the Parole/ Post- Release Supervision Commission sets an intermediate sanction as

a special condition when the offender is released from prison, the offender will always be

supervised at an intermediate supervision level. The offender may progress or regress through

three intermediate supervision levels. An offender who receives a community punishment from

the judge will be supervised in one of three community supervision levels, depending on the

offender’s risk level as determined by the Offender Trait Inventory and the officer’s judgement. A

community punishment offender who violates his probation may subsequently receive an

intermediate punishment in court. After completing the intermediate punishment the offender

may, by demonstrating compliance, progress through the intermediate supervision levels and

return to a community supervision level.

Intermediate supervision officers are required to verify the residence and employment of

offenders, meet with offenders at their residence and/ or in the field, perform curfew checks at

the residence, contact the offender’s family, contact law enforcement/ other criminal justice

agencies/ service agencies involved with the offender, execute criminal record checks, and

monitor court indebtedness on a frequent basis. Community supervision officers have similar

requirements, but do not see offenders as often and do not perform curfew checks.

Intermediate supervision officers have more work experience than community supervision

officers, and they receive specialized training. They are required to conduct the vast majority of

North Carolina Department of Correction Annual Statistical Report

Page 21 – Fiscal Year 1999- 2000

offender contacts in the field, away from the relative safety of the office. These officers have

smaller caseload goals ( 60 active cases) than community supervision officers ( 90 active cases).

Officers who specialize in intensive supervision cases have lower caseload goals ( 25 active

cases).

The Division of Community Corrections also administers the Criminal Justice Partnership

Program ( CJPP). The CJPP is a grant program to local government to operate community

corrections programs. Local advisory boards determine the type of community corrections

program to operate ( e. g. day reporting centers, satellite substance abuse programs). There are

91 counties involved in the Partnership initiative. These programs provide varying degrees of

structure and monitoring to offenders, and a range of rehabilitative services.

Cost of Sanctions

The Department calculates an average cost of sanctions annually. The figures include the

direct costs of supervision and indirect administrative costs. The average daily cost of

supervising one offender ranges from $ 1.89 on regular probation/ parole to $ 12.23 on intensive

probation/ parole.

Program Daily Cost per Offender

Regular Probation/ Parole $ 1.89

Electronic House Arrest $ 6.41

Intensive Probation/ Parole $ 12.23

IMPACT Boot Camp $ 71.48

Drug Screening $ 4.12

Total Felon Misdemeanant

The majority of entries to probation are for misdemeanants. Felons represent 27% of the

probation entries for fiscal year 1999- 2000. This proportion has remained relatively consistent

over the past six years.

Crime Type of 1999- 2000 Probation Entries

The crimes of offenders entering

probation supervision are grouped in

one of three categories: public order,

property, and crimes against a person.

The most frequent crime type for

probation entries is public order crimes.

This crime type accounted for 52% of

all entries during the 1999- 2000 fiscal

year. The crime type resulting in the

most entries to probation is drug

offenses with 12,710 offenders. There

were 9,551 offenders entering

probation convicted of driving while

impaired and 5,833 of other traffic

violations.

Property crimes accounted for 30% of

all entries to probation. The most

There are 9,973 entries to probation for crimes against a person, which is 17% of all probation

entries in fiscal year 1999- 2000. The majority of these crimes are assaults ( 8,125). This

category also includes sexual offenses ( 926) and robbery ( 518).

Note: The other category contains offenders that had no Crime Class information.

Almost half ( 43%) of the misdemeanant probation population was convicted of Class 1 offenses.

The most frequent crime categories in the Class 1 offenses are larceny, non- trafficking drugs,

assault, and traffic violations. There were 18,841 probationers sentenced for driving while

impaired, which comprise 27% of the population at the end of the fiscal year. These offenders

are sentenced under separate legislation, the Safe Roads Act of 1983.

The third largest crime class in the misdemeanor grid is Class 2. The primary offenses in this

class are worthless checks, assault and other public order offenses. Almost all of the Class A1

offenses are assaults. The remaining class, Class 3, consists largely of non- trafficking drugs

and larceny convictions.

The felony sentencing table on the next page describes felons in the probation population at the

end of the 1999- 2000 fiscal year. The felony crime class with the largest number in the

probation population is Class H, representing 41% of all felons on probation. The offenses in

this crime class include non- trafficking drug offenses, larceny, breaking and entering, and fraud.

Another one- third of probationers were convicted of Class I offenses, largely non- trafficking drug

offense and forgery. Classes E and F represent the smallest proportion of felons on probation

on June 30, 2000. These classes include more serious offenses such as assault and sexual

Probation Exit Trend

During the fiscal year 1999- 2000,

there were 59,242 probation exits.

Exits from probation rose sharply

between 1994- 1995 and 1997- 1998

due to the Structured Sentencing Act.

Since then the exits from probation

supervision have been stable. This

trend is very similar to entries to

probation.

Type of Probation Exits

Of all probation exits in fiscal year 1999- 2000, 26% were completions. In order to exit probation

supervision as a completion the offender must serve the entire term sentenced by the court and

meet all conditions of probation. Terminations, which accounted for 39% of exits, may be a

successful or unsuccessful end of probation supervision. The court may satisfactorly terminate

probation for several reasons. These may be cases in which all conditions of probation were

met early and the supervision ended. Other possibilities for exits in the termination category are

unsuccessful probation cases in which the offender absconded and is not apprehended or

received new criminal charges and probation ended due to incarceration.

Post- Release Entry Trend

During the fiscal year 1999- 2000,

there were 937 entries to post-release

supervision. The number of

entries to supervision for post-release

has increased steadily since

1996- 1997 due to the Structured

Sentencing Act.

Post- release supervision is a re- integrative program for serious offenders who have been

sentenced and served prison terms. This form of supervision was created by the Structured

Sentencing Act to replace parole supervision for offenders who had served long prison

sentences and need assistance in readjusting to life outside of the correctional institution. All

offenders serving a prison sentence for a Class B1 through E felony conviction are supervised

for nine months to five years, depending on the offense, after completion of their required prison

term.

Post- Release Population by Structured Sentencing Grids

The 1996- 1997 fiscal year was the first year after the adoption of Structured Sentencing that

cases were assigned to post- release supervision. The Sentencing Grid below reflects the

population on post- release supervision at the end of the 1999- 2000 fiscal year. The number of

offenders in the grid is relatively small due to long prison sentences for the offenses in these

cells.

There are no offenders convicted of Class B1 or B2 offenses on post- release because the

minimum sentence for those crimes is 7 years and 10 months. The distribution of the offenders

on post- release supervision will not adequately reflect the population convicted of these crimes

for many years due to the length of the sentences they serve.

The majority of offenders on post- release supervision on June 30, 2000 were convicted

of Class E offenses. Within Class E the largest portion ( 62%) of these were assaults. Other

examples of crime categories for Class E offenses on post- release supervision are

manslaughter kidnapping/ abduction, robbery, and sexual offenses. All inmates released to

post- release supervision for conviction of sexual offenses are supervised for five years. Among

those supervised for Class D offense, 86% had robbery convictions. The other predominant

crime categories in Class D were burglary and sexual assault. The largest number of the Class

C offenders were habitual felons, followed by sexual assaults and assaults.

Post- Release Exit Trend

During the fiscal year 1999-

2000, there were 782 post-release

supervision exits. The

trend of exits from post- release

supervision is very similar to

the entry trends.

The majority ( 76%) of exits from post- release supervision were completions. When the offender

completes this period of supervision, the sentence for which the offender was placed on

supervision is terminated.

The second most common type of exit from post- release supervision was revocation, which

account for 13% of all exits. An offender on post- release supervision may be revoked for a

technical violation such as positive drug tests, non- reporting, failing to attend treatment, or for

additional criminal convictions. There are only a few terminations from post- release supervision.

Parole Entry Trend

During the fiscal year 1999- 2000,

there were 4,298 entries to parole

supervision. There has been a

steady decline in parole entries over

the past six years.

This decline in entries to parole is due to the adoption of Structured Sentencing. The Structured

Sentencing Act eliminated parole for offenders sentenced under those laws. The inmates that

are eligible for parole were sentenced for convictions under other sentencing laws. Since

approximately 32% of the prison population on June 30, 2000 were Non- Structured Sentencing

inmates, there will continue to be paroles but the annual decrease is expected to continue.

Crime Type of Parole Population

There were 3,911 offenders on parole

supervision on June 30, 2000. The

majority ( 82%) of these were felons.

Thirty- eight percent of this population was

convicted of property crimes. The most

frequent property crime categories were

larceny ( 495), breaking and entering

( 406), fraud ( 203), burglary ( 164), and

forgery ( 129).

The offenses in the crime against a

person category include robbery ( 391),

assault ( 251), and second- degree murder

( 148). The majority ( 59%) of public order

crimes were drug offenses ( 781), followed

by driving while impaired ( 381).

Intermediate Sanctions for Supervised Offenders

Intermediate sanctions are sanctions that are more severe and restrictive than traditional

probation but less severe and restrictive than prison. Intermediate sanctions are also more

costly than traditional probation but less costly than incarceration in prison. They provide a way

to graduate punishment or control in the community by increasing or decreasing supervision

based on the offender’s behavior. Confinement in prison or jail always remains an option for

noncompliance with the court or Parole/ PRS Commission’s conditions. The six intermediate

sanctions in North Carolina are listed below, in order of most restrictive to least restrictive.

Split Sentence/ Special Probation - A probation sentence that requires the offender t to submit

to a period of imprisonment, not to exceed six months, followed by a term of probation under an

intermediate level of probation supervision.

IMPACT Boot Camp – A requirement that the offenders ( age 16- 30) resides in a state- run

quasi- military residential program for 90- 120 days, followed by an intermediate sanction level of

probation supervision.

Residential Community Correction Facility - A residential program where offenders are

required to reside in a specified facility for a specific period of time to participate in such

activities as substance abuse treatment, social skills training, education, and employment

training.

Intensive supervision – A strict probationary sentence that requires frequent face to face

contacts ( 5 per week) with a two- person officer team that oversees 25- 30 probationers,

compliance with a home curfew, submission to random drug tests, and fulfillment of community

service work hours and restitution obligations, for a period of six ( 6) months unless otherwise

specified by the Court or Parole Commission.

Electronic House Arrest – Requirements for the offender to remain at his/ her residence all

times ( except as approved by the officer), to place a monitoring device in the residence, and to

wear a transmitting device, for a specified period of time.

Day Reporting Centers – A requirement to report to a specified facility on a daily or otherwise

specified basis for a specified length of time to be monitored and to participate in activities such

as alcohol or chemical dependency treatment, anger management, cognitive thinking,

psychological counseling, social skills training, education, or employment training.

Special Supervised Offender Programs

The Division of Community Corrections offers a number of programs for offenders to participate

in during their sentence of supervision. These programs assist in supervision and provide a

specialized intervention to offenders.

Substance Abuse Screening Program – The Division of Community Correction’s Substance

Abuse Screening Program is an integral component of supervision. It provides the means for

identifying and monitoring offenders with substance abuse problems, and also serves as an

added safety measure. During fiscal year 1999- 2000, 153,801 specimens were tested from

probationers. Of tests performed for the Division of Community Corrections, 28% were positive

for drug use.

Probation/ Schools Community Partnership – The Division makes an agreement with high

schools in all 43 Judicial Districts to place officers with a specialized caseload of school age

offenders in high schools. The partnership increases contact with guidance counselors,

teachers, school resource officers, and school administrators to ensure school safety and to

improve the offender’s school attendance and behavior.

Sex Offender Control Program: This is a pilot program to increase the supervision of

offenders required to register as sex offenders. Specialized officers, with caseloads of 30,

closely monitor the offender. Offenders submit to polygraph tests to hold the offender

accountable and monitor compliance through the course of treatment. Officers take an active

role as a treatment team member. A special emphasis is placed on restricting contact with

children. The aim of this approach is to hold the offender accountable and prevent further

victimization.

Domestic Abuse Offender Control Program: The Division established specialized officer

caseloads to enhance supervision of domestic violence offenders. The initiative increases

offender control and requires treatment. Officers focus on community contacts and treatment

team planning, and are involved with victim advocates to ensure the safety of the victim.

Developmental Disabilities Grant: The Division has a grant funded by the North Carolina

Council on Developmental Disabilities to target services for offenders who have limited coping

and life skills due to cognitive impairment. The grant serves offenders in District 3A ( Pitt

County). This initiative creates a collaborative relationship with developmental disabilities

service providers. The initiative involves a specialized officer working with a social worker to

identify offenders with developmental disabilities. They create an individual treatment and case

plan to increase the probability of success on probation and to obtain needed services to foster

success after supervision.

Cognitive Behavior Intervention Program ( CBI): The Division delivers cognitive based

intervention programs to supervised offenders. CBI curricula include "“ Thinking for a Change”,

“ Problem Solving Skills”, and “ Reasoning and Rehabilitation.” The focus of CBI programs is

changing an offender’s thinking in order to change his/ her behavior. Officers in 30 locations

serve as the group facilitator and provide counsel to the offender through the outlined

curriculum.

Offender Management Model ( OMM): The Division of Community Corrections and TASC

( Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime), a program in the Department of Mental Health,

Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Abuse Services designed an “ Offender Management

Model”. The model is a team approach to provide treatment and control of high risk/ high need

North Carolina Department of Correction Annual Statistical Report

Page 33 – Fiscal Year 1999- 2000

offenders under supervision in the community. Elements of the model include a screening and

assessment that reviews criminogenic need and substance abuse, individual case plans

developed for each offender, participation in cognitive behavioral interventions, and ongoing

joint staffings to share decision- making and to review and adjust plans. District 3B ( Craven and

Carteret counties) is the site of the first OMM demonstration service site and three more are

planned.

Page 34 – Fiscal Year 1999- 2000

D. Criminal Justice Partnership Program

The Criminal Justice Partnership Act of 1994 expands sentencing options by adding community-based

sanctions for offenders receiving non- prison sentences. The Act created the Criminal

Justice Partnership Program ( CJPP), which provides state funds to help counties create

sentenced offender and pretrial release programs. A local advisory board is responsible for

developing, implementing, operating, monitoring, and evaluation a local community corrections

plan.

The goals of the CJPP are to reduce recidivism, reduce the number of probation revocations,

reduce alcoholism and other drug dependencies among offenders, and to reduce the cost of

incarceration. The populations eligible for Criminal Justice Partnership Program services are

pretrial detainees, intermediate punishment offenders ( misdemeanor or felony and especially

probation violations) and offenders serving terms of parole/ post- release supervision.

The types of programs eligible for CJPP grants include, but are not limited to: Day Reporting

Centers, Substance Abuse Services, Resource Centers, Employment/ Job Skills Training,

Education Services and Residential Facilities ( for programs targeting intermediate punishment

offenders); Pretrial Monitoring Services and Pretrial Electronic Surveillance ( for pretrial release

programs); and Aftercare Support Services ( for Post- Release Supervision programs).

There are two categories of CJPP local programs-- sentenced offender programs ( SOP) and

pretrial release program. Examples of sentenced offender programs include day reporting

centers, satellite substance abuse and resource centers. As of June 30, 2000, 91 of the 100

counties in North Carolina are participating in the Partnership. These counties operate 35 Day

Reporting Centers, 29 Satellite Substance Abuse Centers, 26 Pretrial Release Programs and 13

Resource Centers.

Although the counties have wide latitude on program design, all provide some combination of

substance abuse treatment, education and employment programs. Day reporting centers

combine sanctions and services. Offenders must report as required and participate in assigned

services. Satellite substance abuse centers provide a range of treatment services, on- site and

off- site. Resource centers coordinate a variety of program interventions, some on- site and

others off- site.

CJPP local programs store data in and report data from a computer system called the CJPP

Information Management System ( IMS). The following data was reported from the CJPP IMS

Sentenced Offender Program Statewide Summary Report.

The CJPP cost per offender per day for the 1999- 2000 fiscal year is $ 10.30. Cost is calculated

by dividing total grants to local CJPP programs by an estimated average daily population in

CJPP programs. To this is added any administrative costs relating to state CJPP, DCC and

DOC staff.

III. Division Of Alcoholism and

Chemical Dependency Programs

The mission of the Division of Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency Programs is to plan,

administer and coordinate chemical dependency treatment, recovery, and continuing care

programs and services in the Department of Correction. The Division administers four offender

treatment programs.

The prison- based Drug and Alcohol Recovery Treatment ( DART) program offers a continuum of

treatment, recovery, and aftercare services to offenders near the beginning of their stay in

prison. The DART services continuum begins during diagnostic processing when inmates are

screened to determine if they need substance abuse treatment. If treatment is indicated,

inmates are either referred to the DART 35- day program, or the DART 24- hour ( 3 days)

program.

The DART 35- day program is a facilitated 12- Step program, based on the Minnesota Model. It

is available in 15 Intensive Residential Treatment centers located in prisons across the state.

Following the 35- day stay, the inmate returns to the regular population and participates in a

formal 8- 12 week aftercare program. The DART 24- hour program lasts 24 hours over a three or

four day period. This program is an educational orientation program designed to engage

offenders in the recovery process. It is located in minimum security prisons across the state and

at Western Youth Institution.

After participation in either of the DART programs, inmates may participate in Alcoholics

Anonymous ( AA) or Narcotics Anonymous ( NA), self- help groups that assist in the recovery

process. When inmates who completed DART 35 and participated regularly in AA or NA are

within six weeks of release they are referred to a special community transition program known

as the Winners' Circle. The DART program involves inmates who have successfully completed

the program as ancillary staff, peer counselors, role models, or treatment facilitators. In

addition, DART involves community volunteers to the greatest extent possible.

The State Alliance for Recovery and General Education ( SARGE) program is a federally funded

program designed specifically to treat addicted youthful offenders incarcerated in the North

Carolina Department of Correction. The program is an intensive residential treatment program,

based on the Hazelden model and it accommodates the inmate’s educational needs. SARGE

serves youthful offenders who are within six to twelve months of release and develops aftercare

plans for an inmate’s return to the community. The SARGE program has 96 beds at Morrison

Youth Institution in Hoffman and as of October, 1999 opened 40 beds at Sandhills Youth

Center.

The Department of Correction contracts with four private facilities to provide residential

treatment to inmates nearing their release from prison. These facilities operate as minimum

security prisons. These programs include the following 1) Right Turn of North Carolina

( Charlotte); 2) Evergreen Rehabilitation Center ( St. Paul); 3) Cornell Corrections Inc. ( Durham);

and 4) Mary Frances Center ( Tarboro). These contractual facilities use a variety of treatment

modalities, blending 12- step concepts with other clinical approaches. They also coordinate

other rehabilitative programs such as work release, community service projects, and vocational

training. The contractual facilities can serve up to 350 inmates; 100 of the beds are reserved for

women, the other 250 are for men. Inmates are not released directly from these facilities; they

return to a regular prison unit for discharge.

Page 41 – Fiscal Year 1999- 2000

The Division offers a specialized program, DWI DART- Cherry, for probationers or parolees

convicted of driving while impaired ( DWI). It is located on the grounds of Cherry Hospital in

Goldsboro. Participation in this program may be ordered as a condition of probation by a judge

or by the Parole/ Post- Release Commission as a condition of parole. DWI DART- Cherry has

two components, a 28- day residential 12- step program for 100 probationers and parolees, and a

90- day modified therapeutic- community program for 200 probationers. Upon completion of the

program, offenders return to the community under the supervision of their probation/ parole

officer.

Page 42 – Fiscal Year 1999- 2000

Identifying Inmates for Participation in DART

Diagnostic centers in the prison facilities listed in the table below complete the intake process

for prison admissions. Trained staff conduct interviews and perform screenings for inmates.

They use the Short Michigan Alcohol Screening Test ( SMAST) and the Chemical Dependency

Screening Test ( CDST) to identify inmates with a substance abuse addition. Inmates with a

score of 3 or more on either instrument are considered to have a problem with alcohol or drugs.

Once a problem is identified by these screening instruments and diagnostic personnel gather

other information, a referral is made for treatment in one of the DART programs. In addition, in

some cases, inmates are ordered by a judge to receive substance abuse treatment.

inmates screened, 65% are identified as having a problem with alcohol or chemical

dependency. More than half ( 55%) all admissions were referred to DACDP for alcohol and drug

treatment services. Of those identified as having an alcohol or drug addiction problem, 89%

receive a referral to DART.

A. Drug Alcohol Recovery Treatment

Intensive Residential Treatment

( DART - IRT)

Inmates assessed as needing treatment are referred to in- prison DART Intensive Residential

Treatment ( IRT). All in- prison treatment, which is scheduled at the beginning of incarceration, is

designed to introduce offenders to a lifelong plan of addiction recovery. The mission of the

program is to “ provide comprehensive interventions, programs and services that afford

offenders with alcohol or drug problems the opportunity to achieve self actualized recovery.”

fiscal year. A total of 7,631 inmates were enrolled in these programs during the year. The

average enrollment is computed by dividing each facility’s daily enrollment by the number of

days the program was operational at the facility. On average, 590 inmates were enrolled in

DART IRT programs on any given day in the 1999- 2000 fiscal year.

Crime Type of Entries to DART Intensive Residential Treatment

The crimes of offenders entering

Dart IRT in the 1999- 2000 fiscal

year are grouped in one of three

categories: public order,

property, and crimes against a

person. The most frequent crime

type for DART IRT entries is

public order crimes. This crime

type accounted for 41% of all

entries during the fiscal year.

The crime category resulting in

the most entries for public order

crimes is drug offenses with

2,028 counts. There were also

345 offenders entering DART

IRT convicted of driving while

impaired.

Property crimes accounted for

31% of all entries to DART IRT. The most frequent offense in this category is

breaking and entering ( 942). Other offenses include larceny ( 699), fraud ( 276), and forgery

( 216).

There are 2,127 entries to DART IRT for crimes against a person, which is 28% of all DART IRT

entries in fiscal year 1999- 2000. The majority of these are convicted of robbery ( 764). This

category also includes assaults ( 555) and sexual offenses ( 470).

1999- 2000 Exits from DART Intensive Residential Treatment

There are several different types of exits from the DART Intensive Residential Treatment

program. An exit is considered a completion when an inmate satisfactorily participates in all 35

days of the treatment program. At that time they return to their unit and the aftercare portion of

the recovery process begins. In the 1999- 2000 fiscal year, there were 5,278 completions of

DART IRT. This represents the majority ( 70%) of all exits from the program.

Due to the coding procedures for exits from DART IRT, it is unclear if the inmates that exited the

program in the Removed/ Transferred category were successful in the program. This category

includes those that ended participation in the program due to release, transfer, disciplinary

action, or were simply dropped or removed. It is possible that an inmate was participating

satisfactorily in the program but was removed for disciplinary problems outside of the program

or was released from prison. Twenty- six percent of all 1999- 2000 fiscal year exits were in the

Removed/ Transferred category. The remaining 255 ( 3%) “ Other” exits from DART IRT were not

defined any further.

( DART- 24)

Inmates with misdemeanor convictions have relatively short stays in prison, making it difficult to

complete long- term in- prison treatment. The Division of Alcohol and Chemical Dependency

Programs developed DART 24 for such inmates. DART 24 is an educational program to

introduce the recovery program to inmates. It consists of six or eight sessions over several

days, for a total of 24 hours of contact time.

Crime Type of Entries to DART- 24

The crimes of offenders entering Dart- 24 in the 1999- 2000 fiscal year are grouped in one of

three categories: public order, property, and crimes against a person. The most frequent crime

type for DART- 24 entries is public order crimes. This crime type accounted for 60% of all

entries during the fiscal year. The majority ( 63%) of entries in the public order category were

with 834. There were also 325

offenders entering DART- 24

convicted of drug offenses.

Property crimes accounted for 22% of

all entries to DART- 24. The most

frequent offenses in this category are

larceny ( 215), breaking and entering

( 103), fraud ( 53), and forgery ( 43).

The final crime category contains

crimes against a person. There are

414 entries to DART- 24 for this

category, which is 18% of all DART–

24 entries in fiscal year 1999- 2000.

The majority of these are convictions

for assault ( 312) but it also includes

robbery ( 63) and sexual offenses

( 13).

1999- 2000 Exits from DART- 24

There are three exit types from DART 24, which are completion, removal/ transferred, and other.

There were a total of 2,258 exits from DART- 24 programs in the 1999- 2000 fiscal year. The

majority ( 82%) of all exits from the program were completions. An inmate is considered to

complete the DART- 24 program by satisfactorily participating in the activities assigned for the

duration of the program.

A small proportion ( 16%) of exits from DART- 24 during the1999- 2000 fiscal year were due to an

inmate being removed from the program or transferred to a different unit. There were 364 in the

Removed/ Transferred category. The remaining 34 ( 2%) “ Other” exits from DART- 24 were not

defined any further.

C. State Alliance for Recovery and

General Education ( SARGE)

The SARGE program is based on a substance abuse treatment curriculum designed for

offenders ranging in age from 18 to 22 years. It includes cognitive behavioral interventions and

units on criminal thinking and violent behavior.

SARGE provides six to twelve months of residential treatment ( Phases I and II) and three

months of transition aftercare ( Phase III). The aftercare phase follows release from prison or

detention. Program staff arrange for aftercare services on an individual basis, through

contractual arrangements with service providers in the area where the youth is released from

prison.

During the 1999- 2000 fiscal year there were 258 inmates that enrolled in the SARGE program.

There are two youth prison facilities in the state that have SARGE programs, Morrison and

Sandhills. Between these two facilities, approximately 88 inmates were enrolled in the program

on any given day during the past fiscal year. The SARGE program at Sandhills Youth Center

began in October of 1999. From October, 1999 through June 30, 2000 there was an average of

36 inmates enrolled in SARGE with a capacity of 40 at the Sandhills facility.

Crime Type of Entries to SARGE

The crimes of offenders entering

SARGE in the 1999- 2000 fiscal year

are grouped in one of three

categories: public order, property,

and crimes against a person. Each

of these crime types account for

approximately one- third of the

entries to SARGE.

There were 89 entries to SARGE for

property crimes and the most

frequent offenses are breaking and

entering ( 46) and larceny ( 31).

this category in fiscal year 1999- 2000. These are convictions for robbery ( 37), assault ( 24), and

sexual offenses ( 18).

1999- 2000 Exits from SARGE

The types of exits for SARGE are different than for the DART programs. The program has a

longer duration ( six to twelve months) and more offenders may leave and return due to such

reasons as disciplinary action, court appearances, and medical treatment. Because each

temporary departure is considered an exit in OPUS Offender Population Unified System), one

offender may have several exits. For this reason, only an offender’s final exit is counted for this

report. Based on these criteria, 186 inmates exited SARGE in the 1999- 2000 fiscal year.

There are four types of exits from SARGE: completion of the program, released from prison,

released due to a disciplinary action, and a catchall “ Other” category. An exit due to completion

is defined as a successful completion of the program or participation in the program for six

months. The completion category based on this definition, accounts for 38% of the exits from

SARGE. By design, SARGE is scheduled for inmates when they are approaching their prison

release dates. There are 37 inmates ( 20%) that exited SARGE due to their release from prison.

“ Other” category contains the remaining 22% of inmates that were removed, transferred,

dropped, or withdrew from the program.

D. Continuing Care,

Alcoholics Anonymous ( AA) and

Narcotics Anonymous ( NA)

DART Continuing Care consists of three parts – aftercare, recovery group and Winner’s Circle

programs. DART- Aftercare is an eight to ten week program for inmates in the early stages of

recovery in a prison setting. Recovery group means access to in- prison Alcoholics Anonymous

and Narcotics Anonymous groups.

Alcoholics Anonymous ( AA) and Narcotics Anonymous ( NA) are self- help recovery groups

based on the 12- step model of recovery. Offenders who participate regularly in AA or NA and

who are within six months of release from prison are referred to the Winner’s Circle. Winner’s

Circle is a 12- session program to prepare recovering inmates for release from prison. Part of its

purpose is to make the offender’s transition back into the community easier.

The table above reports the enrollment to the continuing care programs in the four DART

regions in North Carolina. The daily average listed for each program is calculated by dividing the

number enrolled by the number of days in the year. During the 1999- 2000 fiscal year there were

7,066 offenders enrolled in DART aftercare across the state. On average, there were 1,088

inmates enrolled on any day during the past year.

The continuing care program with the highest enrollment during the year was Alcoholics

Anonymous ( AA). There were a total of 9,038 inmates that enrolled in AA during the year and a

daily average of 2,679 inmates enrolled. Narcotics Anonymous ( NA) enrollment was almost as

large as that of AA with 8,352 entries in the 1999- 2000 fiscal year and an average of 2,457

enrolled daily throughout the year.

E. Private Alcohol and Drug

Treatment Centers

The Division of Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency Programs ( DACDP) has contracts with

private providers for 350 minimum- security prison beds for residential treatment at four facilities

across the state. Referrals generally come from the courts, the Division of Prisons ( DOP) and

the Post- Release and Parole Commission. Inmates are transferred from other prison units to

these minimum custody prisons, and the treatment program lasts six to twelve months. Those

who successfully complete the program or who complete their sentence are released into the

community. Although based on 12- step concepts, the private alcohol/ drug treatment centers

address a much wider range of behavior than traditional chemical dependency programs. For

example, the programs address relapse avoidance, employment, education and vocational

needs.

To be eligible for this program, offenders must be at least 19, be in good health, not have a

detainer, and not be serving time for an assaultive crime. The primary referral source for the

private treatment centers is DOP program staff at the facilities.

Due to the length of the programs in these private treatment facilities, there may be occasion for

the inmate to leave the program and re- enter at a later date for court appearances, medical

treatment, or disciplinary actions. Each individual is only counted once in the enrollment figures

and in the exit numbers that are reported on the following page.

During the 1999- 2000 fiscal year there were 590 inmates enrolled in the private treatment

centers listed in the table above. The Mary Frances Center, the facility with the largest number

enrolled during the past fiscal year, serves female inmates. The other three are male facilities.

On average, the daily enrollment in the private treatment centers is 344 per day, calculated on

all of the days of the year.

Crime Type of Entries to Private Treatment Centers

The crimes of offenders entering private treatment facilities in the 1999- 2000 fiscal year are

grouped in one of three categories: public order, property, and crimes against a person. The

crime type of the majority of entries to private treatment facilities is public order. Public order

crimes accounted for 362 ( 61%) of all entries for the year. Convictions for drug offenses

represented the largest proportion of public order crimes ( 61%) with a count of 226. The

remaining public order crimes were mostly driving while impaired convictions ( 111).

( 16).

1999- 2000 Exits from Private Treatment Facilities

The table below lists the private treatment facilities and the length of stay for inmates exiting the

facility during the 1999- 2000 fiscal year. There were a total of 562 inmates that exited one of

the programs last year. As expected, the number of exits for each program is similar to the

number of enrollments, and the Mary Frances Center exits the largest number of inmates.

It takes six to nine months to complete the substance abuse treatment program in these private

treatment facilities. In the table below, the columns for 181- 365 days and over a year depict the

number of inmates enrolled a sufficient amount of time to complete the program. There were

317 inmates ( 56%) enrolled in private treatment facilities for more than six months. Nine

percent of the exits during the year were for inmates who were enrolled for less than 30 days.

Many of these exits occur when an inmate is transferred to a private treatment facility but once

there, is determined not to be appropriate for the treatment available at that facility.

There is some variation in the time spent in the facilities at the time of exit from each of the four

facilities. The facilities ranged from 49% to 64% of exits spending at least 180 days in the

facility. Evergreen had the highest proportion of exits ( 64%) that were in the facility for at least

180 days.

F. DWI DART - Cherry

DWI DART- Cherry is a residential treatment unit for male offenders on probation or parole for

DWI ( driving while impaired) or other drug- or alcohol- related offenses. The DWI DART- Cherry

facility, located in Goldsboro, has 300 beds. Of those, 100 beds are for the traditional 12- step

residential chemical dependency treatment program that lasts for 28 days. The other 200 beds

are for the modified therapeutic community ( TC) program, with a 90- day length of stay. DWI

DART- Cherry admits any eligible offender. However, if resources are limited, parolees take

priority over probationers for referrals to DWI DART- Cherry.

The TC model was implemented in September 1997. Research and clinical experience indicate

that longer treatment has more benefits. Thus, DACDP staff developed the modified TC with a

90- day format. The program is based on Stay N’ Out, a residential community transition and

aftercare program in New York.

Community aftercare is an essential DWI DART- Cherry component. The program pays for up to

48 hours of aftercare services to each person enrolled. It builds upon and continues treatment

after the transition from a residential program to the community.

DWI DART- Cherry staff members involve other DOC agencies in the treatment program.

Admission decisions are made by DACDP staff in collaboration with probation officers employed

by the DOC Division of Community Corrections. Probation officers also serve on treatment

teams that develop plans for residential treatment and discharge to the offender’s county of

origin.
