With increasing frequency, teachers are giving secondary
students assignments that require the use of a computer
and internet access. Many parents still cannot afford a
home computer, and their work schedules often conflict
with the after-hours availability of the schools’ computers.
Enter people like Bob Jones, a paint crew supervisor
at Craven Correctional Institution. This past Christmas, he
and Santa Claus helped several students get technology
their school work often required.
Bob, skilled in computer repair, saw discarded comput-ers
as the answer to an education need of disadvantaged
families. Starting with his church, and later adding a couple
of charities, Bob began obtaining “old” computers, which he
“reconditions” and makes available for free to needy kids.
“Six computers that I refurbished were given as Santa
Claus presents this year,” he said. “I have also given some to
Katrina families.”
After asking his fellow church
members to donate used comput-ers
they no longer needed, Bob
soon had 12 units, and other
charities began sending them,
too.
“Some businesses and people
upgrade their computers fre-quently,
so the supply of discard-ed
computers is pretty constant,”
he said.
Bob will put in about six
hours of his time on each com-puter,
checking it for problems, cleaning out data, restoring
software, installing safety programs, and even replacing
broken parts, such as a malfunctioning CD drive.
He will even personally help the student learn to use
and care for the computer.
“Bob’s heart turned his hobby into a gift for a lot of
people,” said his wife, Dawn.

Probation Officers will soon
see simplified procedures
governing the movement
of offenders across state
lines. This new directive is
in response to the need for
interstate compact to comply
with the rules and guidelines
as established by the National
Interstate Commission for
Adult Offender Supervision
(ICAOS).
All states and US ter-ritories
are now members of
ICAOS. The national rules of
the Interstate Compact super-sede
state law. Noncompli-ance
with the Compact rules
could result in financial penal-ties
to the state. The benefits
of the Compact are to provide
uniform rules for all states to
regulate the movement of of-fenders
between states which
enhances public safety.
“Our top priority is pub-lic
safety, and this new set of
rules will be especially useful
for keeping up with sex of-fenders,”
said Mary Stevens,
ISC manager.
An automated web ap-plication
known as NACIS is
being developed to interface
with OPUS and give all states
immediate access to offender
information.

Piedmont Correctional Insti-tution
opened in 1980 just
outside Salisbury in Rowan
County as a medium secu-rity
prison for adult males,
but was converted to close
security because of the
state’s need for additional
high security space. In 1995,
Piedmont reverted to hous-ing
medium custody adult
male inmates. The 11-story
prison is on a 52-acre site
and houses approximately
760 inmates.
The offices of Administrator Todd Pinion and other
administrative staff members are in a building situated at
the base of the six-story residential tower where inmates are
housed. The facility has approximately 385 staff members.
Each floor of the tower has two levels and is divided
into two wings. In each wing, are three cellblocks, each
designed to hold 16 inmates, while 96 are cells used for ad-ministrative
and disciplinary segregation.
A dormitory was added in 1995.
Pinion’s assistant superintendent for custody and opera-tions
is Wendell T. Hargrave.
Point of entry
Piedmont CI is a point of entry into the prison system for
male felons ages 22 and older from western North Carolina
who are sentenced to less than 10 years in prison.
Upon arrival, inmates undergo a series of diagnostic eval-uations
that will determine future prison assignments. Many
inmates have short stays at Piedmont CI, because they are
there to be processed into the prison system or to receive
medical or dental services.
The prison has a 14-
bed infirmary and outpa-tient
medical facility with
capabilities for X-ray, EKG,
lab, I.V. therapy and minor
surgical operations. A
three-chair dental clinic is
staffed on a full time ba-sis.
Programs
Willie N. Edley is the
assistant superintendent
for programs.
Beginning March 1, Piedmont will pilot a program that
bans the use of tobacco products by anyone anywhere on
prison grounds.
Inmates may participate in the Drug/Alcohol Recovery
Treatment (DART) program. DART provides intensive inpa-tient
treatment in a fast moving, 28-day treatment cycle with
lectures, films, educational and therapy groups, as well as
individual counseling. Inmates work with professional staff
and peer counselors. DART relies heavily on the principles of
Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous, with group meetings
available in the evenings.
Correction Enterprises operates a reupholstering plant
at Piedmont. Three Enterprises employees supervise inmates
who work in the plant. Other inmates may work as mainte-nance
or kitchen help.
The institution provides vocational classes in woodwork-ing,
auto mechanics and auto body repair. A literacy com-puter
lab, adult education classes and a course to prepare for
the GED are available.

to another, it is critical to public safety that all necessary
information transfers with the offender, according to NA-CIS
Manager Betty Payton, coordinator of the ISC Adult
Compact Information System. “Not only do the new rules
ensure that transfer of information happens, but they also
provide for the information format to be consistent from
state to state.”
Redefining teamwork is one of the new strategies of
the ISC office.
“In the next few months we plan to transition into
pairing a probation officer and correspondent with each
of the four Judicial Divisions in the state”, said Anne L.
Precythe, deputy compact commissioner/administrator
for the ISC Office. “We anticipate this change will only
enhance the quality of service being provided by our
staff. We believe that probation officers and court of-ficials
can benefit from a more streamlined process and
ultimately a better understanding of compact rules and
how they relate to offender supervision in our state.”
Challenges
Precythe is optimistic about the future of North Caroli-na’s
Interstate Compact Office. Her management team
met with the national office staff in Lexington, Ky., where
they were assisted in the development new strategies for
North Carolina. Robert Lee Guy, DCC’s director and ISC
commissioner for North Carolina, has charged the ISC
management team with the task of developing a plan for
implementation of the new strategies in 2006. Realign-ment
of staff, caseload management and training are
three critical pieces of the plan.
Another challenge for the state is the misdemeanor
offender population, who, under national rules, do not
qualify for Compact services. ISC managers will be dis-cussing
this issue with the National Office during their
visit.
“North Carolina is one of the few states that still
supervises misdemeanor offenders,” Stevens said. “I be-lieve
what we do is good government policy. It’s good for
public safety; it’s the right thing to do.”
“Training will be an incredible piece of the plan,”
Precythe said. “It’s not only Community Corrections peo-ple
who will need to be trained; it’s also judges, district
attorneys, defense attorneys, and so on.”
‘Costs’
North Carolina has nearly 5,000 offenders under
ISC supervision, of which 3,500 are categorized as “We-for-
Them” cases and 1,500 are “They-for-Us” cases.
States pay an annual fee to be part of ICAOS based
on state populations and number of ICAOS offender
transactions. North Carolina currently pays $36,000 in
annual membership fees. “When you consider the ben-efits
of being a member of the Compact, and its ability
to enhance public safety, this fee is well worth the cost.”
Precythe said.
RALEIGH – Glenn Mills, a 29-year
corrections veteran, has been named
senior administrator in the Division of
Community Corrections.
Mills oversees the division’s field,
program and support sections, said
Robert Lee Guy, division director, who
announced the appointment. Mills will
be responsible for such programs as
post-release and electronic supervision,
field services, victim services, criminal
justice partnerships and information
technology support.
Guy noted that Mills’ qualifications
include a history of rising through the
Community Corrections ranks, begin-ning
as a probation/parole officer in
Carteret County in 1977. He also was
an intensive probation/parole officer in
Carteret and Craven counties, and was
later transferred to Pitt County, where
he was in charge of the pilot house
arrest program 1989.
Mills was named assistant man-ager
in 1990 for an 18-county region
of the division, and then manager of
the region in 1993. He became chief of
Division I --- a 32-county region based
in Greenville --- when Community Cor-rections
was reorganized in 1996.
“Glenn’s experience reflects the
leadership skills that he brings to his
new job,” Guy said. “He is very good at
listening to issues and concerns and
helping people through the processes
that result in solutions. Glenn also
gives excellent support to his staff
members, including help with their
day-in, day-out job functions.”
Mills said his love for the profes-sion
drives his vision for the new as-signment.
“Because our real mission is pub-lic
safety, I want to do all we can to
help people redirect
their lives,” he said.
“That will include
supporting the staff
by providing the
skills training they
need to do their
jobs.
“Additionally,
I want to ensure all
functions are well-coordinated, allowing
our people to work more efficiently.”
The Pitt County native graduated
with a bachelor’s degree in psychology
from East Carolina University in 1977.
He has also completed the North Caro-lina
certified public manager course for
employees.
Mills is a charter member of the
N.C. Probation/Parole Association. He
enjoys golf, skiing and surfing in his
spare time.

The association honors and represents a segment of
black Americans who have served in the US military. How-ever,
it is non-partisan and non-political.
“Buffalo Soldiers not only teach history, they help all of
us to remember the great pride they took in their service,
even during the difficult times that they endured,” Willie said.
Evolution of the association
The association was begun 1966 in Kansas City, Mo., when
group of former cavalrymen got together to talk about their
military heritage and unique military experience. One hun-dred
years before, Congress had created four regiments for
black men, designated the 9th and 10th (Horse) Cavalry and
the 24th and 25th Infantry.
“These regiments were part of a bold experiment to
accept ‘colored troops’ into the regular army establishment
during peace time,” Willie said.
Sent into the western frontier, the regiments were as-signed
such duties as escort-ing
and protecting
settlers from attacks by Na-tive
Americans and Mexican
bandits, finding water sourc-es
and stringing telegraph
wires. They were enlisted for
five years, and earned $13 a
month, plus room, board, and
clothing. The motto of the
9th is “We Can, We Will!”
“The name ‘Buffalo Sol-diers’
goes back to the very
early history of the cavalries,”
Willie said. “Native-Americans
Page 6
they engaged in combat noted that the black soldiers fought
as fiercely as a cornered buffalo and their hair reminded
them of a buffalo mane.”
Initially, association membership was limited to persons
who had served in the 9th & 10th Cavalry Regiments. After a
decade, membership was extended to anyone who had ren-dered
outstanding service to the association or to the United
States through service either in the Armed Forces or their
community.
Willie was serving in the 82nd Airborne in Fayetteville
when he and some fellow soldiers began calling themselves
“Buffalo Soldiers” without really knowing much about their
namesakes. Willie began researching “Buffalo Soldiers,” and
his growing interest helped lead to the formation of the
North Carolina chapter in 1995, when Willie was serving the
NC National Guard.
Not just history
Buffalo Soldiers are often seen in post-Civil War cavalry
uniforms with period equipment as they speak to groups
and present historical exhibits. Willie even has three horses
which he incorporates into his presentations.
But the Buffalo Soldiers’ message is not simply about
illuminating history, Willie said.
“We also pro-vide
college scholar-ships
to high school
students,” he said.
The Soldiers’
horses even play
an important role
in another civic-minded
activity
of the association.
“Each year, we
bring at-risk middle
school children to a
special camp, where
we assign them to
be responsible for the care and maintenance of our horses,”
Willie said. “Focusing on that responsibility helps them
take their focus off their own problems. Also, that sense of
responsibility becomes a personal responsibility for things
like good hygiene, handling peer pressure and good study
habits.”
Reunions
The 9th & 10th (Horse) Cavalry Association holds annual
reunions at different locations in the U.S. Among guests has
been Colin Powell, former chair of Joint Chiefs of Staff and
former U.S. secretary of state.
The Greater North Carolina Chapter will host of the
140th Anniversary Reunion in Greensboro this year. With
the reunion having a theme of “Honoring Living History,” Wil-lie
said the association is striving to attract its most senior
members, and an effort can begin to create an archive of
oral history about Buffalo Soldiers.
More information about the association can be found at
ncbuffalosoldiers.org.
Willie Edley stands ready at a re-enactment display to help
visitors learn about Buffalo Soldiers.

More than 100 friends, colleagues and family gathered
at Harnett Correctional Institution on Nov. 30 to show their
appreciation to retiring Correctional Administrator Sherwood
McCabe.
Employees from Harnett Correctional Institution were
joined by a large delegation of staff from Central Prison to
celebrate his more than 30 years of service and dedication
to the state of North Carolina.
Begun in 1975, most of McCabe’s Corrections career
was spent at Central Prison, where be started as a cor-rectional
officer and worked his way through the ranks to
captain. In 1990, he was named support services manager
and was promoted to associate warden of operations in 1994.
He was promoted to Harnett CI administrator in September
2001.
“I could not have a better way
to end up my career than coming
to Harnett for the last four years,”
McCabe said.
Former Central Prison War-den
James French entertained
the crowd with stories of when he
worked with McCabe.
“Central Prison and Harnett
are better places because of what
Sherwood did for them,” French
said.

Deputy Secretary Fred Aikens retired from state
service at the end of January, after nine years with
the Department of Correction. Aikens had served
most recently as deputy secretary of Correction
with oversight of Correction Enterprises, alcohol and
chemical dependency programs, management infor-mation
systems and extradition.
To many in uniform, he is known as Col. Fred
Aikens. He also recently retired from the North Caro-lina
Army National Guard after 35 years of service.
He was called to active duty twice in the wake of the
2001 terrorist attacks. During his first activation, he
served at Fort Bragg, supporting the 18th Airborne
Corps during its mission in Afghanistan. He was
called to active duty a second time, in February
2003, when his unit was deployed to Kuwait where
he was assigned as deputy commander of camps
for the US Army Central Command – overseeing all
army base camps in Northern Kuwait.
Before he joined the Department of Correction,
Aikens was chief deputy secretary for the Depart-ment
of Transportation. While deputy secretary at
DOT, he also served for several months as acting
commissioner of the Division of Motor Vehicles. Prior
to that, he worked on the fiscal research staff at the
North Carolina General Assembly for nearly 15 years.
“I’ve had a long, great, and rewarding dual career
with state government and the military,” said Aikens,
in a farewell letter to fellow employees. “I want to
express my sincere and profound
appreciation to all of you in the De-partment
of Correction with whom
I’ve had the pleasure to serve. You
are to be commended for the work
you do under extraordinary cir-cumstances.
I am honored to have
been in your presence and trust that I have added
value to this organization.”
Aikens says he plans to do some consulting work
in his retirement, as well as develop a network mar-keting
business with his wife. Most importantly, he
says he plans to take a lot of time to enjoy life.

Glenn York recently retired to some re-laxation
after 30 years in the Department
of Correction. At retirement, he was Dis-trict

(DACDP).
York began his career in 1976 as a
health assistant in the Division of Pris-ons,

superintendent at Pender Correc-tional
Center, and then in 1989 became

Office of the Division of Prisons. He
moved into the DACDP as a counselor in
1993, and rose through the ranks, being
named District II manager in 2005.
After “a full 30 years” in his career, York said he plans
to relax by playing golf and travelling both in the U.S. and
worldwide.
At a retirement reception, he was honored by a framed
copy of “The Order of the Long Leaf Pine,” a high civilian
distinction from by the governor’s office for meritorious
service to the people of North Carolina. The order was pre-sented
to York by DOC Secretary Theodis Beck.
