Delaware Department of Correction FY 2017 Annual Report 1


Message from the Commissioner

The year 2017 was one of tremendous heartache for the DOC family, but it was also a year of tremendous growth and progress. The murder of Lieutenant Steven R. Floyd, Sr., in the line of duty at James T. Vaughn Correctional Center resulting from a prison riot and hostage situation occurred on the day on which I was to be ceremonially sworn in as Commissioner. This unspeakable tragedy resulted in a high degree of scrutiny on the Department’s operations and highlighted the tremendous financial and staffing strains that our officers and facilities have been operating under. Despite the spirit of mourning that the DOC family experienced, our team pulled together to ensure that, to the best of our ability, we would work to improve the safety of our facilities.

After mourning for our lost brother, I launched the DOC Reset and Rebuild Initiative. This Initiative sought to address facility safety, leadership gaps, staff support through employee wellness, improved communication with our employees, and better use of security threat groups (gang) information in the prisons. Multiple committees and projects were launched from the Reset and Rebuild Initiative, and I am very proud of the things we accomplished as a result. Among many other accomplishments, we completed security policy reviews at each facility and identified safety equipment that was lacking; we formalized the process of reviewing inmate gang affiliations prior to making prison housing assignments; we launched a staff mindfulness training to help employees deal with the stress of working in corrections; and we enhanced leadership training for officers.

Despite the gains we have made, challenges remain. Low

correctional officer staffing levels result in ongoing staff “freezes” to ensure that facilities can safely operate. This leaves officers tired, stressed, and struggling to achieve work-life balance. To address this, we hired our own DOC recruiters to seek talented, motivated new cadets to join our proud family. The correctional officer union also successfully negotiated a long overdue salary increase, which we anticipate will help with retention and attracting individuals to consider corrections as a career.

I cannot adequately express my appreciation for the correctional officers, counselors, probation officers, and administrative staff who serve this Department. They truly embody the Department’s values of Integrity, Courage, Accountability, Respect, and Diversity (I-CARD). I am also grateful for the support we have received from Governor Carney and the Legislators who understand the need for prioritizing correctional resources so we can achieve our mission of protecting the public by supervising adult offenders through safe and humane services, programs, and facilities. I believe that we have made momentous progress this year toward this mission. Thank you for the part that each of you have played in that progress.

Onward and upward,

Commissioner Perry Phelps


Report Dedicated In Memoriam to Lieutenant Steven R. Floyd, Sr.

Delaware suffered its first correctional officer line of duty death in history February 2, 2017. Several reports have been published regarding Lieutenant Steven R. Floyd, Sr.’s death, but the community has endeavored to honor his life. Lieutenant Floyd was a born and raised Delawarean with a strong sense of community and service to others. He

was raised in Millsboro and graduated from Sussex Central Senior High School. He joined the United States Army and rose through the ranks, culminating his career as a Sergeant First Class. Upon completion of his military service, he moved his family back home to Delaware and began work for DOC. He served as a corrections officer for sixteen years, spending the entirety at the James T. Vaughn facility. He received many accolades there, including the Warden’s Award for Outstanding Performance. He was posthumously awarded the DOC’s Medal of Valor and promoted from Sergeant to Lieutenant.

Lieutenant Floyd was a family man who enjoyed travel and spending time with his wife, adult children, young grandchildren, and extended family. He laughed often and encouraged those around him. He frequently worked overtime to support his teammates. He loved to mentor, within both his work family and community as a whole. He was a shop steward with his union and served with several private

organizations, including the PHA Masonic Order, Order of Eastern Star, and Knights Templar of the USA. Wherever he went, he had a reputation as a hard worker and sharp dresser. He was often elected leader of his civic organizations, and served on many advisory committees even after those elected terms ended. He believed in giving back to his community, and was quick to recruit others to his causes. He was readily involved with community unity events, youth sports participation, and many other causes which supported veterans, medical research, and the homeless.

Several tributes to Lieutenant Floyd’s memory were commissioned. DOC held a memorial for him in 2017 and wreath-laying ceremony in 2018. There is a tribute to him at the entry to the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center. The Correctional Officers’ Association of Delaware commissioned a plaque for its headquarters entryway through DCI. Lieutenant Floyd’s name was engraved on the DE Law Enforcement Memorial near Legislative Hall in Dover. He was also honored during the National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service in May 2018.

Goals and Accomplishments

Agency strategies are focused on four major goals:

• Improve the DOC’s image and quality of service to the public and its stakeholders;

• Improve the delivery and quality of service to offenders;

• Improve the successful transition of individuals leaving prison and reentering their communities; and

• Upgrade and reconfigure DOC facilities.

Highlights for correctional operations in FY17 included the following:

• DOC implemented a new behavioral health screening process in September 2016. All individuals are screened by a nurse for mental health and substance abuse disorders within 4 hours of intake. Individuals whose assessments indicate the need for further evaluation are seen by a Qualified Mental Health Professional for a comprehensive mental health evaluation and/or substance use assessment. This new process is a substantial improvement to the former intake and assessment system. Following this intake assessment, incarcerated individuals will be designated in DOC’s electronic health record system as being not mentally ill, seriously mentally ill, having a substance use disorder, or having a co-occurring

disorder. Following this assessment, levels of care will also be determined and assigned (for example, indication that an individual needs a residential level of care to treat substance use disorder). These designations will also trigger security code notifications for DOC’s computerized offender management system so that the behavioral health needs/status of the incarcerated individual are appropriately considered in management of the inmate.

• In March 2017, DOC’s prison facilities began using the Risk Needs Responsivity (RNR) assessment tool. The tool is used in conjunction with the LSI-R and makes program recommendations for the inmate to participate in. The program recommendations are in direct response to the individual’s risk level, needs, and the intensity/dosage of programming required. DOC programming in the prisons has been grouped into categories consistent with the RNR in order to accomplish this matching. DOC’s computerized offender management

system will provide electronic RNR program recommendations for the inmate’s classification/treatment plan following the inmate’s assessment.

• DOC’s strides to become fully accredited by the American Correctional Association (ACA) included achieving accreditation of each facility type as of August 6, 2017. The DOC Central Administration Building, Sussex Correctional Institution, Sussex Work Release Center, Sussex Violation of Probation Center, and Probation & Parole statewide have been accredited. Each site will serve as the “model” for its respective sister locations.

• Efforts continued in FY17 to provide out of cell recreational opportunities and structured behavioral health treatment sessions to inmates in restrictive housing. Recreational and treatment hours provided to this population are monitored on a monthly basis by a compliance monitor in the Office of the Commissioner.

• Several important improvements were made to the Employee Development Center (EDC) this year. Several EDC Training Educators were certified as Mental Health First Aid Trainers, a national program. Mental Health First Aid is an 8-hour course that provides officers with the skills to improve our response to offenders with mental health problems or experiencing a mental health crisis. The evidence behind the program demonstrates that it builds mental health literacy, helping our staff to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness. Mental Health First Aid is now in every Officers Basic training and is offered throughout the year for attendance by on board staff. DOC/EDC partnered with Delaware’s Office of Management & Budget to begin offering First Step Leadership classes to newly promoted staff. Lastly, as part of the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration’s Leadership Development Program, EDC partnered to offer one class of Intro to Supervision to staff in FY 17.

The DOC operates a unified correctional system (includes detention, jail & prison populations) that incarcerates approximately 6,400 offenders within its ten correctional facilities (4 prisons; 4 community corrections centers; 2 violation of probation centers). There are six Probation & Parole offices. DOC also supervises approximately 14,500 offenders in the community.

Within this unified system, DOC maintains five offender supervision levels:

• Level V – 24 hour incarceration

• Level IV – Work Release Centers, Home Confinement (electronic monitoring), Residential Drug Treatment, & Violation of Probation Centers

• Level III – Intensive Probation Supervision

• Level II – Standard Probation

• Level I – Administrative Probation Supervision

Management of these individuals, who are entrusted to state custody by court order, generally follows movement or flow-down from higher supervision levels to lower levels. There are, however, many variations on this theme that are determined by a variety of decision parameters influenced by the agency, judicial branch, and offender behavior.

DOC Victim Services Spotlight

The Department of Correction is dedicated to helping victims and survivors find answers to their questions and helps link crime victims with outside support services such as counseling. DOC’s Victim Services Coordinator, Erin Connelly, works from the Central Administration Building in Dover. Her duties include ensuring that the Department is in compliance with the Victims’ Bill of Rights at all times. DOC is required to notify victims in writing of the offender’s projected release date, release to the community or release to a community-based program, and the Parole Board hearing date. This requirement resulted in the Department issuing 25,656 victim notification letters in FY 2017. In the event of an escape, the Department is required to immediately notify, by telephone or in person, any victim of the escaped offender. There were no escapes from Level V facilities in FY 2017. In addition to the official notifications sent to victims, DOC victim services assists with safety planning for victims prior to offender discharge. Erin also attends Protection From Abuse hearings and other court hearings as requested by victims. If an inmate is making unwanted contact with a crime victim or others in the community, Erin intervenes to ensure the unwanted contact is stopped. She also provides support to victims who wish to pursue additional charges against an inmate.

Erin is the Vice-Chair for the Delaware Victim’s Rights Task Force, which partners stakeholders in the community including police departments, prosecution teams, and social service agencies to support victims and survivors of violent crime. Erin’s mission in FY2017 was to reach as many agencies and citizens as she could to increase awareness of the unit’s existence and mission.

When asked to sum up her program, Erin says, “Victimization doesn’t stop just because an offender is in custody. There are a lot of good things we can do as a Department to support victims and minimize revictimization of people who have been harmed, but the program is

only as effective as our reputation. People have to know that we exist.” She provided a resource table for the state fair, college campuses, and National Night Out events, among several others in FY2017. One of the benefits of being a small state is that all of the agencies who have victim support services work together, so DEDOC staff work closely with the Delaware State Police, the Department of Justice, and several non-profit organizations.

The Victim Services Unit receives daily requests for offender status information and guidance from a variety of sources including victims,

victim families, the public, law enforcement agencies, and elected officials. The victim services advocates work diligently to keep their contacts informed of the correctional and judicial processes, aware of offender status, and understanding the multiple resources available to them. The goal is to assist crime victims with becoming both informed and involved so that they may experience less frustration and trauma. In so doing, the hope is that victims receive a complete picture of the effects of crime, enhancing the Department’s continuing evaluations of the effectiveness of community and rehabilitative programs.

There is also a Victim Services Agent (VSA) working from the Dover Probation & Parole Office. New Castle County also has a VSA position. Ashley held

interviews, provided updates and safety planning, and referred services for 232 active domestic violence and sexual assault cases. The VSA specifically serves victims whose perpetrators are under community supervision for domestic violence or sexual assault crimes and partners frequently with the Probation & Parole domestic violence units. There is a unit for each county, with dedicated case managers handling hundreds of cases annually. Each unit provides risk assessments on offenders, protection from abuse orders, no contact orders, and child support services.

Erin Connelly, Victim Services Coordinator, staffs a community event to inform community members of the victim services provided by DOC. esources available for crime victims through DOC’s program.

Admissions Releases

* Admissions exclude transfers to other DOC facilities (other than P&P), but this category does not exclude transfers to the Delaware Psychiatric Center, those with a status of Interstate Agreement on Detainer, and those with a status of Agreement to Return. These individuals can be counted more than once in a fiscal year due to different transfer codes that allow for back and forth travel without a break in the offenders’ records.

Admissions decreased 3% between FY16 and FY17, while releases also decreased 3% during the same time period.

Bureau of Prisons Spotlight:Delaware Correctional Industries Imparts Valuable Vocational Skills to InmatesNearly 150 inmates are enrolled in DOC’s Delaware Correctional Industries (DCI) program, which provides valuable hands-on skill training to inmates and an affordable opportunity for the public to obtain custom products. 19 Correctional Officers supervise and train correctional industry workers in work tracks including silk screening, embroidery, sublimation, sign/banner design and manufacturing, print shop products such as business cards, letterhead, forms, documents, raffle tickets, garment shop, wood shop repair/manufacture, upholstery, spray finishing, picture framing, chair caning, welding shop, metal fabrication for tackboards, sheds, development & business signage, & birdhouses. DCI also provides automotive servicing to the State of Delaware’s fleet vehicles.

Director Mark Pariseau, who oversees DCI, says of the program, “I have had a few workers say to me that they don’t feel incarcerated when they’re working. I keep reminding them that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.” Pariseau says that by participating in the program, inmates gain soft skills like getting up to go to work, learning to get along with everyone regardless if you like that individual or not, resolving personal issues with other workers, and being accountable for working on projects and tooling if used.”

Three of the officers assigned to DCI are certified by the National Center for Construction and Educational Research. DCI’s budget is approximately $3.1 million in Appropriated Special Funds



(ASF) and $1.4 million in General Fund authority. Inmate workers earn a modest hourly wage for their labor. Members of the public can view sample products at the DCI Showroom located at the DOC Central Administration Building at 245 McKee Road in Dover. DCI’s website is http://www.dci.delaware.gov/.

Bureau of Community Corrections (BCC)

BCC operates six Level IV correctional facilities (one coed; four male; one female); these house offenders serving court-ordered sentences at Level IV, Level V offenders classified by

DOC to a lesser security environment, and offenders who have violated their conditions of probation.

PARTNER SPOTLIGHTParenting Course Enhances Reentry Experience for Incarcerated Moms and DadsDiamond State Counseling joined the DOC’s Strategic Partner community in 2017. The group is contracted to provide parenting courses to men at Plummer Community Corrections Center and women at the Hazel D. Plant Women’s Treatment Facility, both in New Castle County. Skilled facilitators guide participants through 13 weeks of Parenting Inside Out® curriculum. Participants learn practical strategies for parenting while incarcerated and set goals to put into practice during visits and phone calls with their children. Group members report back to each other each week on how well they were able to utilize the skills they learned. Close relationships are formed by participants as they provide each other with encouragement and feedback about how to strengthen their parenting skills.

At a recent graduation ceremony, a participant shared how he was able to respect his daughter’s boundaries when she said she needed more space in the relationship. The group revisited the skills they had previously learned for respecting an older child’s boundaries while also communicating that they are “there” to provide unconditional love and support. Diamond State Counseling’s Clinical Director, Devon Stockton, made remarks at the graduation about how much growth she has witnessed in each participant. 100% of participants reported feeling more confident about their parenting abilities as a result of the course.

Bureau of Community Corrections Probation & Parole– Levels III, II & I Probation, Electronic Monitoring, and Pretrial Services

Probation & Parole offender supervision begins upon completion of the incarcerated portion of a sentence or upon direct assignment by the courts to Levels III, II, and I. BCC supervises approximately 14,500 probationers within the community. Level IV Home Confinement is also monitored by Probation & Parole.

The division continues to expand the usage of Electronic Monitoring (EM) equipment. A variety of ankle-worn technology devices are deployed including: House Arrest Radio Frequency units, House Arrest Cellular units, Transdermal Alcohol Radio Frequency units, Transdermal Cellular units, and Global Positioning Satellite units. EM equipment usage is driven by the laws requiring Tier 3 sex offender monitoring, as well as enhanced DUI laws, which require Transdermal Alcohol devices for a minimum of 90 days.

Prison ContrabandInterdiction of prison contraband remains a major focus for the Bureau of Prisons in order to ensure that correctional facilities are safe for staff and offenders. FY17 incident reports were pulled, read, and coded into the below categories to produce these numbers. Categories were created and defined by the Association of State Correctional Administrators (ASCA). The majority of contraband seizures occur during the booking & receiving process at the point of intake into the prison facility. At the time of the incident report, the suspected nature of illicit substance seized has typically not yet been verified. Razor blades are issued as standard hygiene products; however, they may be counted as contraband (weapons) if they have been altered or damaged by the inmate. Illicit Substances include illegal drugs as well as prescription and over-the-counter medications. This category does not include drug paraphernalia or tobacco.

In FY17, weapons were the most common form of contraband reported each month followed by illicit substances. The chart illustrates a large increase of major contraband finds pertaining to these two categories between February and March of 2017. On average, there were 25 incident reports detailing weapon finds and 13 reports detailing illicit substance finds per month. It is also important to note that the majority of illicit substance seizures occurred during the booking and receiving process at the point of intake into the prison facility.

Juveniles/Young Criminal Offenders Juvenile offenders adjudicated as adults are managed in the Youthful Criminal Offender Program (YCOP) at Sussex Correctional Institution, which has a dedicated program tier where these individuals are segregated from the adult population. 36 different youth resided in YCOP throughout the 2017 Fiscal Year. Youth sentenced to YCOP receive a combination of educational and therapeutic services.

Inmates Sentenced to the Death Penalty Inmates who are sentenced to the death penalty (and those whose death sentences have recently been modified to life without parole) are housed at James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Smyrna, although the facility no longer houses these inmates in the “death row” housing unit. As of June 30, 2017, there were 3 inmates in DOC custody sentenced to death. In August 2016, the Delaware Supreme Court ruled that the state’s capital punishment statute is unconstitutional. A subsequent Delaware Supreme Court case ruled that the previous ruling would be retroactively applied to individuals already sentenced to capital punishment, thereby requiring each individual to be resentenced to life without parole. The last execution carried out in Delaware occurred on April 20, 2012 via lethal injection.

NOTES:

1) Medical Per Diem figure does not include Substance Abuse. Substance Abuse is included in the Per Diem figure listed for all institutions.

2) Department net expenses increased in FY17 by $14.6 Million while the average daily population count decreased by 173, resulting in an overall increase in the offender per diem rate.

2) Major contributing factors to the increase in expense in FY17 are personnel costs; contractual contract increases; one-time IT purchases (camera/phone systems); pharmaceutical increases; Phase II new uniform order; February 1st incident @ JTVCC and increase in minor capital expenses.
