THE STRUCTURE AND PROGRAMS OF THE CORRECTIONAL COMPONENT OF THE FEDERAL CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION AT BUTNER, NORTH CAROLINA, ARE DESCRIBED.
Abstract
BUTNER CONCENTRATES ON REPEAT OFFENDERS WITH RECORDS OF VIOLENCE, AND PARTICIPATION, AFTER A THREE MONTH PERIOD, IS VOLUNTARY. BEYOND THE REQUIREMENT THAT EACH INMATE PARTICIPATE ALWAYS IN AT LEAST ONE WORK AND ONE WORK OR SELF-IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITY, AND THAT THEY ATTEND ALL STAFF-PLANNED ACTIVITIES, INMATES CHOOSE THEIR OWN PROGRAMS AND SCHEDULES. A PROPOSED EVALUATION PROJECT IS DESCRIBED.
