Results indicated a need for increased security in both prisons and community service centers to prevent escapes and walk-aways. Inadequacies were found in inmate rehabilitation and treatment programs, particularly drug and sex offender programs. In addition, basic education and vocational training programs suffer from shortages of space and staff and extended waiting lists. Further, vocational training is in outdated fields, involve unskilled work, and antiquated equipment. The State system also is severely understaffed: facilities are budgeted for only 89 percent of authorized minimum staff levels, and only 84 percent of minimum staff positions were filled. Health care service deficiencies also were noted, particularly in the areas of specialized treatment (i.e., acquired immune deficiency syndrome and mental health problems), quality assurance, and management information and evaluation. Revisions also are needed in the inmate grievance review system to ensure adequate protection of basic constitutional rights, and a variety of physical plant deficiencies require remediation. Other areas in need of improvement include inmate safety issues and prison industries. Contributing to these problems is severe prison overcrowding.
