There are eight living units, classrooms, a library, a canteen, a cafeteria, a gym and even a barber shop. But this is not a college - it is the Broad River Road Corrections facility. Broad River is one of five state-of-the-art prisons being built by the South Carolina Department of Corrections. The new prisons consist of Broad River, which officially opens at the beginning of July; McCormick and Leber, which have already opened; and Allendale and Evans, which plans to open by March of 1989. "The prisons are the first state prisons to be built to federal specifications," said Laurie Olser, executive assistant for Legal Settlement and Compliance for the South Carolina Department of Corrections. The Department of Corrections has jurisdiction over 13,600 inmates. Of these, 11,300 are in departmental institutions and the other 2,300 are in other programs such as work release and halfway houses. Each new prison will have a 506-bed general population, a 96-bed intake unit and a 96-bed lock-up. The Broad River facility will house a 96-bed death row cell block, which is being moved from Central Correctional Institution. In the general population units, there will be 126 inmates until double-celling starts. Double-celling is one of the main issues in an ongoing lawsuit against the South Carolina Department of Corrections. The suit was brought by an inmate in 1982 and was supposedly settled in 1985. The Nelson vs. Leek Consent Decree was the agreement reached, it set up requirements that double-celling could only take place in 100-square feet cells. Population increases of over twice what was expected has made it necessary for the case to go back to court. "Because we had these big, big increases in admissions, there was no way we could meet the housing requirement at our existing medium security institutions by January 8, 1988. The only way we could was to double-cell in the new institutions," Osier said . The next step for the case is the State Supreme Court, and for now, the new institutions can double-cell general population inmates. The Broad River facility looks nothing like the image most people have in their minds about occnmo fViof fhp Hanorf laisiia. muoi aoouuiv iiiai mv I~ ment of Corrections is CCI," said G.N. Martin, Warden. The new prisons are very different from CCI. More mone> black facult ( By The Associated Press South Carolina higher education officials say t "tremendous progress" has been made in desegregat campuses but that there are still too few black stude and professors at the state's 33 public colleges z universities. The South Carolina Commission on Higher Educat: hopes a plan approved last Thursday will help bring mi blacks to the state's campuses. Under the plan, colle and universities would spend $2.5 million in 1989-90 develop new ideas to recruit more black students z faculty. The plan calls for the institutions will have m< responsibility to come up with new recruitment ideas z get them approved by the CHE, said Fred Sheheen, st higher education commissioner. "We certainly have not achieved the goals during time span that we set forth, but that is not a phenomer peculiar to South Carolina," Sheheen said. "The colle and universities have made some progress toward goals, but we're saying that we have not made enoi progress." The Higher Education Program for Access and Equ would require public institutions to develop progra that would help close gaps in black and white enrollm and graduation rates and make higher education mi conducive to academic success of minority students. Colleges also would be required to recruit more mine ty faculty and to work with elementary and second: schools to improve academic performance and the colli aspirations of black students.

Each cell will have 73 square feet and be furnished with a bed, locker, desk and chair, sink, toilet and mirror. When the double-celling takes effect, another bed will be added in bunk style and another locker will be stacked below the existing one. The prisons will be operating on a unit management system which is designed to decentralize authority and put the inmates in closer contact with authority and limit problems. Each unit will have a deputy warden, a social worker, a classification case worker who handles problems such as sentence time and parole eligibility, and an inmate relations coordinator, who handles the inmate's day-to-day problems. "We are down here where they (the prisoners) live with a basic open door policy, so that if they have a problem hopefully we can deal with it right on the spot before, in their mind, it escalates," said Priss Mack, deputy warden. ? for recruiti y, students The plan would take effect July 1, the day ? hat year state desegregation plan expires.

An inmate can work in the cafeteria, in a tag plant, in refurbishing plants, or even in the South Carolina Department of Corrections slaughter house. Inmates from other prisons, like CCI, think the new prisons are much better, but, the prisoners at the new facility are required to work. "If you're not going to stay here and work, then you're not going to stay here," Mack said. The new prisons have better conditions than the older institutions. The facilities are airconditioned, inmates have keys to their cells, and they are allowed contact visitation. Although the facilities have many advantages, there are also some bad points that can't be changed by a new building. "Prisons are minicities, not only do you live here, you work here. You have stores here and just as in any city, you have crime," Osier said. ifter a threeew bmit in Ocr the CHE's most disap- JH ty.
