New prison,
BY DEE BRANCH
Staff reporter
The grounds resemble a small community college
campus. 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

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.

The housing units are much like dorms, each
unit is separated into two wings. 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.

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,
