RALEIGH—The Division of
Prisons has six new weapons in the war
on drugs. Six narcotics detection dogs
have been paired up with six canine
officers as the division steps up its
efforts to keep drugs out of the prisons.
“We’re very excited about having the
additional resources and we expect the
dogs to make a difference when it
comes to drug trafficking in prisons,”
said Charles Stewart, chief of security.
The dogs will be used to help inspect
prison facility grounds, inmates and
inmate property. They also will take
part in random drug interdictions at
prison facilities, during which vehicles
belonging to staff members and visitors
will be searched.
The funding for the dogs and training
for the handlers was made possible

SCOTLAND, ANSON AND
ALEXANDER COUNTIES—On
Nov. 7 and 8, Department of Correction
administrators, state officials and local
leaders broke ground at the sites of three
new prisons to be located in Alexander,
Anson and Scotland counties. Each
facility will encompass approximately
410,000 square feet and will be identical
in design, layout and equipment.
“I appreciate the efforts of
Governor Easley and the state
and local officials in these three
counties for helping make this
project a reality,” said
Secretary Theodis Beck.
“These new prisons not only
help us make our communities
safer, but also provide much
needed jobs to local
economies.”
While the facilities are
under construction, as many as
275-500 jobs will be available
in plumbing, heating and other areas in
construction. Centex Rooney, the
contractor on the project, already has

RALEIGH—Department of
Correction employees Ola Caldwell and
Sherri Cook were
awarded the Governor’s
Award for Excellence
during a ceremony at the
North Carolina Museum
of History on Oct. 22.
The Governor’s Award
for Excellence is the
highest honor a state
employee may receive
for dedicated service to
state government and the
citizens of North Carolina.
Both Caldwell and Cook were honored
for public service.
Caldwell, an office
manager at Foothills
C o r r e c t i o n a l
Institution, was
honored for her
volunteerism. She is
very active at Grace
Hospital, where she
operates the gift
shop, serves as a
member of the
Waddell Dockery and Indiana check
things out at NCCIW.

through a federal grant. The dogs, all
Belgian Malinois from a breeder in
Holland, will work with handlers assigned
to various parts of the state.
After several weeks of training at
Vohne Liche Kennels in Indiana, the
handlers are ready to put the
dogs to work. “We’re
extremely pleased at how
well the dogs have been
working with the handlers,”
said Sgt. Eddie Poole,
narcotics detection team
supervisor. “I think these
new teams are a definite
plus for the Department and
will serve as a deterrent
against people trying to
bring drugs in prison.”
The training included
socializing the dogs with the
handlers and scent imprintation, which
means the dogs are trained to detect the
odor of certain kinds of drugs. Since
the dogs and handlers returned from
training on Nov. 12, they have conducted
several drug interdictions and a search
of the bus transfer terminal at Sandy
Ridge.
“I think the searches so far have been
an eye opener for many of the inmates,”
said Poole.
Stewart added, “The searches will
continue to be random and widespread
so the inmates, staff members and
visitors have warning that one could be
coming to a prison near you.”

Changes for Citizen Services
RALEIGH—Effective Dec. 1, the
official name of the Office of Citizen
Services changed to the Office of Victim
Services. Victim Services staff
members will continue to serve all
Department divisions.
In addition, Offender Family Services
has been transferred to the Division of
Prisons. The call center, which operates
the Department’s toll-free telephone
number and serves as a clearinghouse
for information about the Department,
will now report to the Public Information
Office.
A message
from
Secretary
Beck
It is hard to believe it is 2002
and another productive year for the
Department of Correction is behind
us. The past year has been full of
accomplishments and challenges,
especially with the state’s budget
shortfall. I wish to thank each and
every employee for helping to run
the Department more efficiently.
By working together, we’ve been
able to respond to requests by the
Governor and the General
Assembly to cut costs without
jeopardizing public safety.
As we start a new year, it is
important to remember our armed
forces who continue to fight a war
against terrorism at home and
abroad. Many of those service
members are Department
employees who had to leave their
homes and loved ones over the
holiday season. We must keep
them in our thoughts and show our
support to those left behind.
We have many more
challenges ahead of us in the
coming year. Let us continue to
work together and strive to be the
best at what we do. The
dedication and professionalism of
the employees of this Department
continue to bring us to the forefront
in corrections. I am proud to say
the North Carolina Department of
Correction is one of the best in the
nation. It has been a pleasure to
serve as Secretary for another
year. I wish to thank all employees
for their daily contributions to the
Department and our great state.
May you have a wonderful year
that brings you much joy and
fulfillment!

RALEIGH—The Division of
Community Corrections has rolled out the
welcome mat to Community Service
program employees. The General
Assembly directed in the state budget that
the program be moved to the Department
of Correction from the Department of
Crime Control and Public Safety,
effective Jan. 1, 2002.

captain for the American Cancer
Society’s Relay for Life; a member of
the board of directors and loan
executive for the United Way;
coordinator for the State Employees
Combined Campaign; and a member of
the Foothills Activity Committee.
“I continue to be amazed at her
ability to carry out her many
responsibilities at work and still
provide the enormous amount of
volunteer services to her
community,” said Herbert O. Myers,
assistant superintendent for
programs, who nominated Caldwell
for the award. “She has certainly
been blessed with a special gift for
helping others.”
Cook, a probation/parole officer,
was recognized for her participation
in various community and public
service projects. She served as
chairperson of a Division 3
community service project that
involved building a Habitat for
Humanity house. After meeting with
Habitat representatives in Lexington,
Cook solicited volunteers from the
Division 3 Community Corrections staff.
She then spent more than 40 hours of
her own time working on the house, in
addition to serving as the media liaison,
scheduling volunteers, meeting with
contractors and arranging refreshments
for the workers.
“Sherri Cook is an outstanding
employee who not only excels in her job
performance, but who also finds time to
participate in special activities aimed at
improving life for others in her
community,” Betty Bauer, judicial district
manager, and David Hartley, assistant
judicial district manager, wrote when they
nominated Cook. “She is most deserving
of this special recognition.”

Division of Community Corrections
Director Robert Lee Guy welcomed the
new staff members. “We think it is
important that during the transition you
meet other staff members and we explain
what this merger is all about,” said Guy.
“All of the Community Service
coordinators and their office assistants will
continue to do the same jobs you are doing
now. You will not be transitioned into
different positions.”
Nearly 200 Community Service
employees will be making the move to the
Division of Community Corrections. Many
of the management positions were
eliminated as a result of the budget cuts,
but most of the people in those
management positions already have been
placed in vacant jobs.
The Community Service program is
for offenders who have been ordered
by a judge, district attorney, probation
officer or the Parole Commission to
work for a governmental agency or non-profit
organization without monetary
compensation. The program is designed
to give non-violent offenders a way to
“pay their debt” to society rather than
serving time in prison.

RALEIGH—The Department of
Correction officially dedicated
Correction Enterprises’ new license tag
and duplicating plants Oct. 17. The
ribbon-cutting ceremony took place at
the North Carolina Correctional
Institution for Women, home to a new
50,000-square-foot building that will
house both plants.
Both plants previously used male
inmate labor. The Tag Plant was
housed in Central Prison, while the
Duplicating Plant was adjacent to
Central Prison. Now that plant
operations have moved to NCCIW,
North Carolina becomes the first state
in the nation to use female inmates to
manufacture license tags.
The female inmates at the Tag Plant
will produce about two million tags per
year for the North Carolina Department
of Transportation, local municipalities
and local fire departments. Meanwhile,
females at the Duplicating Plant are
expected to process about
8,000 orders per year.
“The Department of
Correction is committed to
providing all inmates—male
and female—with the
opportunity to work and to
better themselves,” said
Secretary Theodis Beck.
“Working not only provides
them with valuable job
experience, it also helps to
save state and community
resources by providing
quality goods and services to
government agencies at
competitive market prices.”
Both the Tag Plant and the
Duplicating Plant are operated by
Correction Enterprises, a division of the
Department of Correction. Correction

ELIZABETHTOWN—Bladen
Youth Center, which previously housed
male offenders age 18-21, converted to
an adult male prison on Nov. 1. Now
known as Bladen Correctional Center, it
continues to be a minimum-custody
facility.
The conversion helps address a
decrease in the youth population and a
need for beds for adult offenders. Bladen
originally housed adult males before its
conversion to a youth facility in 1995. It
was one of the 61 field unit prisons
renovated or built during the 1930s to
house inmates who worked building roads.
The facility has a standard operating
capacity of 144 beds.
Prison officials say there will be no
correctional staff changes. However,
correctional officers have received
additional training in the supervision of
adult offenders. Approximately 40 young
men ages 18 to 21 previously housed at
Bladen have been transferred to Sandhills
Youth Center in Hoke County.
In addition, plans are underway to
a variety of products, including office
furniture, road signs, paint, clothing,
signs and food products. Through
Correction Enterprises, inmates also
provide services such as laundry,
printing and meat processing.
Correction Enterprises receives no
support from state budget allocations
and, like a business, is totally supported
through the goods and services its
produces and sells.
“At Correction Enterprises, our main
goal is to provide meaningful work
experience for inmates as they produce
quality goods and services that save the
taxpayers money,” said Jim Godwin,
director of Correction Enterprises.
“The state-of-the-art equipment in this
new facility will help the tag and
duplicating plants operate with
maximum efficiency and productivity
as we move toward that goal.”
Bladen Youth Center converts to adult facility
Morrison to follow suit by February 2002
convert Morrison Youth Institution in
Hoffman to an adult male facility by
February 14, 2002. The 541-bed facility
will continue to be a medium-custody
facility.
Approximately 270 offenders
housed at Morrison will be transferred
to other facilities. A few 21-year-old
offenders will remain at Morrison, as
will some 20-year-old offenders who
will be separated from the adult
population.
As with Bladen, there will be no
changes in correctional staff due to the
conversion. Correctional officers will
attend orientation in the training of adult
offenders.
Inmates make copies for state agencies in the new plant.
Inmates make DOT vehicle tags and state
and local tags like these in the Tag Plant.

which makes it
more functional
and economical.
We’ll also be
able to store a lot
more in one
place.”
More than 1,300 items are stored in
the 112,000-square-foot warehouse—
everything from prison canteen items to
office supplies. The Department still

“Looking at the photo, left hand side,
next to the last person sitting down, is a
man leaning foward, relatively young, and
a full head of hair. This looks a lot like a
former program supervisor from the old
Nash Advancement Center, back in the
mid-1970s named Hiram Perkinson. The
last I heard from Mr. Perkinson he was
working at Nash Community College. That
was back in the 1980s.
Also, the older gentleman sitting across
from who I think may be Mr. Perkinson
that is thin haired looks like a former AA
volunteer at Nash, and former resource
council member named Tommy Thomason.
Mr. Thomason is deceased now.”

“ G a r l a n d
Garrett’s work
with the General
Assembly has been a tremendous asset
to the Department and he will be
missed,” said Correction Secretary
Theodis Beck.
Before joining the Department of
ASHEVILLE—Family, colleagues
and friends joined William “Corky”
Anderson in celebrating his retirement
Sept. 20 at the Governor’s Western
Residence.
Correction Secretary
Theodis Beck presented
Anderson the Order of
the Long Leaf Pine.
“Corky Anderson has
been a great ambassador
for the Department and
a role model for the many
officers and correctional
staff he has supervised,”
said Secretary Beck.
“He’s always had a can
do attitude taking on any
task presented to him.”
Anderson started his
career with the
Department in 1969 as a
correctional officer on
third shift and moved
through the ranks to
serve as a sergeant, lieutenant, assistant
superintendent and superintendent.
Anderson was a driving force behind
the representation of the Department
at the Mountain State Fair. The
Department’s display has grown bigger
and better every year even though
Anderson has had to beg, borrow and
plead for many of the items.
The fair is one of the projects of which
Anderson is most proud.
“When you saw all those
different people from
different agencies— the
DOC, DOT and DMV
working together as a
team it really made it
worthwhile,” said
Anderson.
Anderson plans to
travel and work on “honey
do” projects, as in “honey,
do this” or “honey, do
that.” He’s just beginning
to get over the feeling that
he’s only on vacation.
There are a few things
Anderson will miss in
retirement. “I’ll miss the
process of working with people, looking
at a problem and then figuring out how
you’re going to solve it,” he said. “I’ll
also miss the water cooler stories.”

ASHEVILLE— C o r r e c t i o n
Secretary Theodis Beck has named
Doug Mitchell as the new
superintendent of Craggy Correctional
Center, effective Dec. 1. Mitchell
replaces William D. “Corky” Anderson,
who retired Sept. 30.
“With more than 26 years of
experience in correction, Mitchell knows
what it takes to operate a correctional
facility successfully,” said Secretary
Beck. “His experience and leadership
make him the right choice to lead Craggy
Correctional Center.”
Mitchell began his career with the
Department of Correction in 1975 as a
correctional food service assistant at
H e n d e r s o n
Correctional
Center. After
moving to
H a y w o o d
Correctional
Center as a
correctional
officer in 1977,
he began to
a d v a n c e
through the
ranks. He
served as a
sergeant and later a food service
supervisor before being named assistant
superintendent in 1990. He was named
acting superintendent in January of
1992, a position made permanent in July
of that same year.
Mitchell welcomes the challenges his
new post will bring. He already knows
many of the Craggy staff members and
is looking forward to working with them.
“Craggy Correctional Center is a
facility that works as a team,” says
Mitchell. “They’ve bonded into one—
where programs and custody now get
along as one. I believe I’ll blend in
because I believe in teamwork.”
A resident of Waynesville, Mitchell
is married with two children. In his
spare time, he enjoys fishing and golf.
ASHEBORO—Correction
Secretary Theodis Beck has named
Clinton Philip Holt as the
new superintendent of
Randolph Correctional
Center, effective Nov. 1.
“Clinton Holt has been
working for the
Department of Correction
for more than a quarter of
a century,” said Secretary
Beck. “His experience, his
rapport with people and his
genuine desire to serve the
people of this state make
him the right person to lead Randolph
Correctional Center.”
Holt began his career with the
Department of Correction in 1978 as
a correctional officer at Orange
Correctional Center in Hillsborough.

good to me and I have seen
a lot of opportunity here,”

Department that opportunity
exists. I’m living proof that you can work
your way up.”

Harold Maurice Lilly, a retired
western command manager with
the Department of Correction,
died Oct. 29, 2001.
Lilly entered Guilford College
in 1941, but joined the Naval Air
Corps during World War II. In
the Navy, he learned to fly aircraft
carrier planes, flying in the North
Atlantic on antisubmarine convoy
duty. After the war, Lilly
returned to Guilford College to
complete his education.
In 1950, Lilly graduated and
joined the Department of
Correction. He expected to be
with DOC a short while.
“It was an interim job or at least
I thought it was an interim job
before I was called to fly with the
airlines,” Lilly remembered in
1986. “When Eastern [Airlines]
called and I was having so much
fun in my job, I said, ‘I’ll stay
where I am. Instead of flying,
I’ll just stay with the prison
system.’”
From 1950 to 1986, Lilly
worked at the Department, with
the exception of a short leave of
absence. The establishment of
Ivy Bluff Prison, now closed, was
one of his first major assignments.
He would later help establish
several youth facilities and was
the first prison administrator to
begin assigning women inside the
prisons in 1968.
Lilly is survived by a host of
family and friends.
