Major Facility Operations StatisticsIn comparison <strong>of</strong> operations statistics to fiscal year 2010, despite a slight increase in population, the totalnumber <strong>of</strong> disciplinaries were significantly down. The rate per 100 inmates was nearly 7 points down forminor disciplinaries and slightly less than a 2 point increase in major disciplinaries. The number <strong>of</strong> assaultsincreased by 397 in FY <strong>2011</strong>. The increase should not be prematurely interpreted as an indicator <strong>of</strong> increasedviolence, but more likely evidence <strong>of</strong> an improved process <strong>of</strong> collecting and reporting inmate assaults. Themajor facility assault rate per 100 inmates is 3.79—which can be stated as 3.8% <strong>of</strong> the nearly 21,000 inmateswere assaulted or one in every 26 inmates were assaulted. The number <strong>of</strong> inmate deaths increased by 28during FY <strong>2011</strong>—a similar jump occurred in 2009, however data is unavailable at this time for analysis ortrending.

Following a third straight year <strong>of</strong> general fund deficits and prorated agencybudgets, ACI was substantially impacted by the “trickle-down” effect <strong>of</strong> these budget shortfalls.Revenues for FY<strong>2011</strong> were down approximately $2.0 million or 13%. Hit particularly hard wereour modular <strong>of</strong>fice systems, construction, and the metal fabrication operations. To <strong>of</strong>fset thesereductions in agency funding, ACI has continued to evaluate operations and investigateopportunities for new revenues.A cooperative arrangement between ACIand the <strong>Alabama</strong> Industries for the Blind(AIB)—whereby ACI providesMontgomery-area warehousing anddelivery for AIB is under discussion.Janitorial chemical lines are also beingexpanded. Demand for metal products hasslowed considerably in the past three yearsso a decision was made to mothball themetal fabrication operations. In its place, apilot sewing operation was initiated atHolman Correctional Facility in Atmore,<strong>Alabama</strong>. This is believed to be the first allmalesewing operation in ADOC’s history.New ACI Sewing Plant at Wetumpka Women’s FacilityNew ACI Sewing Operation at Holman CorrectionalFacilityConstruction was also startedon a new sewing plant on theWetumpka Women’s Facilitycampus adjacent to TutwilerPrison.

Correctional StaffingBackground<strong>Alabama</strong> Code Section 36-21-40 (1975) designates the ADOC as a LawEnforcement Agency and Correctional Staff members who meet therequirements <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Alabama</strong> Peace Officers’ Standards and TrainingCommission (APOST) are designated as a sworn Law EnforcementOfficer. The ADOC Correctional Staff is comprised <strong>of</strong> men and womenin the State merit positions <strong>of</strong> Warden (I, II, III), Captain, Lieutenant,Sergeant, Correctional Officer, and Correctional Trainee.SummaryOverall, the end <strong>of</strong> yearcorrectional staffing level is nearly63% <strong>of</strong> the number authorizedversus assigned positions. Duringfiscal year <strong>2011</strong> correctionalstaffing increased by 271 <strong>of</strong>ficers.However, the number <strong>of</strong> losses(430) due to retirement,resignations, or terminations netteda negative 159 <strong>of</strong>ficers overall incomparison to the previous year.The majority <strong>of</strong> security losses(304) are in the CorrectionalOfficer rank. This was <strong>of</strong>fset by again <strong>of</strong> 361 <strong>of</strong>ficers which resultedin a positive net <strong>of</strong> 57 <strong>of</strong>ficers.Analysis <strong>of</strong> Correctional Officerstaff by location indicates thatmajor facilities are at or below thesystem wide average <strong>of</strong> 63%. Atwork releases/work centerlocations, staffing is overallsignificantly better approachingnearly 70%.

Distribution <strong>of</strong> Offender PopulationOn September 30th, the total population <strong>of</strong> the State’s prison system can be characterized as three broad subcategorieswith different levels <strong>of</strong> supervision and distinct supervising authorities—those categories areJurisdictional, Custody, and In-house. The In-house population includes only those <strong>of</strong>fenders incarcerated inone <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Department</strong>s’ 29 state-owned correctional facilities and consists <strong>of</strong> 25,638 <strong>of</strong>fenders. The Custodypopulation includes the In-house population (25,638) plus those <strong>of</strong>fenders committed to ADOC custody buttemporarily incarcerated in a contracted (leased) facility (635) or assigned to the Supervised Re-Entry Program(328)—the Custody population consists <strong>of</strong> 26,602 <strong>of</strong>fenders. The Jurisdictional population consists <strong>of</strong> all<strong>of</strong>fenders that have been convicted <strong>of</strong> a felony <strong>of</strong>fense and sentenced to the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Corrections</strong> forincarceration. The Jurisdictional population consists <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong>fenders including those who have not beentransferred from county jail after sentencing, diverted to supervision by a county Community <strong>Corrections</strong>Program, and <strong>of</strong>fenders incarcerated in a federal or other state prison (5,714)—the total Jurisdictionalpopulation includes all 32,316 <strong>of</strong>fenders.The In-house population increased by 279 <strong>of</strong>fenders, while the overall Custody population decreased by 156.The number <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenders in the Supervised Re-Entry Program decreased by 87 and the number <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenders incontract facilities decreased by 288.

Offender EducationSummaryThe overall educational level <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>fender population is estimated to be at the 11th grade level.Several factors must be considered before analyzing or interpreting these statistics. First, theeducation level <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>fender population is self-reported by an <strong>of</strong>fender during the intakeprocess. Secondly, the <strong>of</strong>fender data is a snapshot at the end <strong>of</strong> the fiscal year and includes datafrom slightly less than 90% <strong>of</strong> the jurisdictional <strong>of</strong>fender population. However it is noteworthythat comparative census data <strong>of</strong> educational attainment for the public is also self-reported.In comparing <strong>of</strong>fenders to the public, nearly 60% <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>fenders lack the basic credentials <strong>of</strong> ahigh school diploma or GED. According to 2010 State Census statististics, 80% <strong>of</strong> Alabamians age25 and older have attained a high school or post-secondary education, in contrast to 40% <strong>of</strong> the<strong>of</strong>fender population. Of the reporting <strong>of</strong>fenders, more than 17,000 <strong>of</strong>fenders are without a highschool diploma or GED. Analysis by race indicates that 62.7% <strong>of</strong> black <strong>of</strong>fenders and 55.7% <strong>of</strong>white <strong>of</strong>fenders do not have a high school diploma or GED. Analysis by sex indicates that 60.6%<strong>of</strong> males and 55.7% <strong>of</strong> females do not have a high school diploma or GED. A small segment <strong>of</strong> thereporting group—slightly more than 9%—indicate some college progress, college graduate, oradvanced degrees. In contrast a little more than 20% <strong>of</strong> Alabamians 25 years <strong>of</strong> age or older makethat same claim. Analysis would indicate that <strong>of</strong>fenders are significantly under-educated incomparison to those in the public.Offender Education Statistics 1Black White White BlackTOTAL Males Males Females Female Number <strong>of</strong> Offenders Educationally Assessed 2 28,931 16,620 10,279 1,281 715Percentage <strong>of</strong> total population 100.0% 57.4% 35.5% 4.4% 2.5% Offenders W/O H.S.

Sentencelengths greater than 10-years increased slightly. This pattern wasnoted in fiscal year 2010 as well. This report added the detail <strong>of</strong>sentence length by demographics and the number <strong>of</strong> split-sentences.These additional factors will illuminate any trends in sentencing byspecific sub-groups.Burglary and theft significantly leads in the top-5 <strong>of</strong>fenderconvictions, in part due to the combination <strong>of</strong> several propertyrelated crimes. The single categories <strong>of</strong> robbery and murder aresignificant in the number <strong>of</strong> convictions. Conversely, drug relatedconvictions as a whole are also a significant part <strong>of</strong> the population.The top-5 committing counties <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenders to the jurisdictionalpopulation remained relatively unchanged from fiscal year 2010. Thenumber <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenders committed from three <strong>of</strong> the five countiesdecreased slightly.The number <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenders serving a first incarceration dipped veryslightly, with a corresponding increase in those with a previousincarceration and the number <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenders classified as recidivists.An small increase in the number <strong>of</strong> drug and sex related convictionswas also noted.ADOC Fiscal Year <strong>2011</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> Page 52

As with theprevious fiscal year, this special report providesa statistical overview <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenders incarceratedfor violent crime convictions. This report doesnot use a totally inclusive list <strong>of</strong> violent crimesor a specific convention in determining whatcrimes are considered violent. Thismethodology is used because individual<strong>of</strong>fenders are not designated a violent <strong>of</strong>fender,such as how sex <strong>of</strong>fenders are designated. Severalauthoritative sources can be used in designatingviolent crimes, however none are exclusively asole source in determining which crimes areconsidered violent <strong>of</strong>fenses. Because <strong>of</strong> thislimitation, a list <strong>of</strong> violent crimes based oncrime codes from the Inmate ManagementSystem is used.
