DOP goes high tech
SPECAT aids training and readiness
RALEIGH-If you've ever played a
virtual reality video game where you are
able to navigate through a building at the
touch of computer controls, then you'll
understand how some new tools soon to
be used in the Division of Prisons will
work. The Simulated Prison Environment
Crisis Aversion Tools (SPECA1) program
will serve two basic functions: computer-based
training (CBT) and as a situational
awareness tool (SAT).
Using CBT, employees will watch a
scenario on a computer screen and then
answer questions on how they would
handle particular situations. Based on their
response, the outcome of the scenario will
be displayed, providing employees with
an opportunity to see and understand the
practical application of prison policies and
procedures. Employees in the Division
of Prisons, Management InfolTOation
Systems and the Office of Staff
Development and Training will be working
together to design and implement the CBT
part of the program.
With SAT,users can navigate through
a 3-D model of a facility. SAT's first 3-D
model will be of Scotland COlTectional

Jim Jackson, facility manager atDART-Cherry,
especially appreciated the
networking opportunities that the program
provided. Not only was he able to interact
with his peers, but he also found that the
secretary, division heads and section
heads were very open and honest about
sharing their personal experiences in
corrections.
"The most important part of my
experience with CLDP is that I got a better
idea of what the department expects and
I found it very reaffirming for what I am
doing already," said Jackson. "In terms
of learning, the CLDP took a very
progressive, open approach to
management. What that says to me is that
the department is looking to move forward
in its management style."
Since CLDP began in 1998, 88
employees. have graduated from the
program. The CLDP already is training
its next class ofleaders. Class 5 began
the program in November 2003 and is
expected to graduate in September 2004.
"We're committed to this program,"
said Secretary Beck. "We're committed
to having leaders who know how to
manage, inspire, recruit and train
employees at all levels-leaders who

and the business of corrections. The
futureof this departmentdepends on it."

below, this is one facility that evokes strong and lasting memories.
The picture on page 12, was once called Camp Polk, then changed
the name to Polk Youth Center, then the name changed to Polk
Youth Institution. This picture was taken from the comer on 1-40
and Blue Ridge Road in Raleigh. Polk Youth Institution was relo-cated
in Butner, NC and the old Polk was bulldozed down in 2003.
In this picture, the tower on the left was tower #4, the building to
the right was the 300 building. The tall building in the background
was AIB building.
John Habuda, captain, Polk Youth Institution
I believe that is a photo of the Old Polk Youth Institution formerly
located on Blue Ridge Rd. in Raleigh. Boy, do I miss those old
stomping grounds..
Thomas D. Aker, correctional lieutenant, Polk Youth Institution
This photo looks to me as the north side of the old Polk Youth
Center that was demolished recently. I see backside ofthe 300 bldg
that faced the Blue Ridge ramp offofI-40. I spend 15yrs there and
some time on the gun tower in the picture.
John M. Beatty, Inmate Work Program director
Two of our inmate employees saw the picture on the last page of
the NovemberlDecember 2003 Newsletter and are convinced that
the picture is a view ofthe Old Polk Youth Center in Raleigh, NC if
you were standing at the intersection of 1-485 off-ramp and Blue
Ridge Road. Hope this helps.
Randy Green, plant managel; Enterprise Metal Products
The photo is the old Polk Youth Institution when it was located off
of Blue Ridge Rd in Raleigh. The angle is from the intersection of
Blue Ridge and Wade Ave. The bldg in the foreground is the "300
Bldg" with the main bldg and the stack from the boiler room visible
behind it. Now, the stack for the boiler room is the only thing in the
photo still standing.
Curtis Hedgepeth, training instructor, OSDT
Others with memories of the old Polk should hold on to those
memories; the buildings were razed inNovember to make way for a
park and greenway trail being constructed by the North Carolina
Museum of Art. Kudos to Deb Blount, Steve Rudisill, James Horne,
George Hedrick and Mary Mueller, who also recognized the photo.

Johnston correctional officers show their mettle
CLAYTON-Feb. 25 began as a
fairly routine night for Stuart Allen and
Keith Taylor, correctional officers at
Johnston Correctional Institution. They
had just taken an inmate to UNC Hospital
in Chapel Hill and were on the way back
to the prison when they saw an accident
on US 70, just west of Clayton.
Allen and Taylor telephoned 911 and
then proceeded to do what they could to
help. A male passenger had made it out
of the vehicle, but a female passenger was
still inside the burning vehicle. Taylor
attempted to extinguish the fire, while Allen
attempted to pull the female from the
vehicle. Unfortunately, her legs were
pinned beneath the dashboard and the
officers were unable to get her out of the
car before flames from the fire forced
everyone to back awayfromthe vehicle.
The female passenger died at the scene.
Both officers stayed at the scene to
assist emergency personnel. Although
they were unable to save the female
passenger, Allen and Taylor are to be
commended for risking their own safety
to provideassistanceto thevictimsof the
accidentand the emergencypersonnel.

The gift oflife is in short supply
Blood banks need donors
RALEIGH-The nation's
blood banks, represented by the+ American Red Cross, American
Association of Blood Banks, and
America's Blood Centers, are asking for
immediate blood donations to boost
critically low blood supplies. This call to
action comes at a time when blood
traditionally is in short supply due to the
holidays, travel schedules, inclement
weather and illness.
In the Carolinas Region of theAmerican
Red Cross, the inventory of all blood
types is hovering at a one-day supply.
National inventory levels also have
dropped well below a safe and adequate
supply. Certain critical blood types are
nearing depletion and in some areas of the
country elective surgeries have been
postponed or cancelled.
Althoughgivingbloodiseasy,safeand
takes less than one hour,only about five
percent of eligible Americans donate
blood. There is a special ongoing need
for African American blood donors,
because one in every 12 African .
Americans carries the sickle cell trait and
approximately one in 500 develops sickle
cell disease. Sickle cell patients require
transfusions of blood similar to their own
and the chances of finding the right blood
are increased when the donor is of the
same race. Donations are critically
needed to help African Americans with
sickle cell or other major blood diseases,
such as leukemia or cancer.
Those interested in donating blood are
urged to contact 1-800-GIVE LIFE. To
donate blood, you must be 17 years of
age or older, weigh at least 110 pounds
and be in general good health. You are
eligible to donate every 56 days.
Donations are critically needed, so
please act now. For more information,
visit the American Red Cross' Web site
at www.redcross.org.
