Prisons - Prison Industries - Director's Subject Files

 Series
Identifier: 021-08-022

Scope and Contents

This series contains correspondence, reports, reference materials, studies and brochures maintained by the director of the prison industries office of the Georgia Department of Corrections. Although this series can obviously not be considered complete, the fragment which survived the years gives the researcher a good insight into the operation of the Georgia prison industries. In addition, the reference materials maintained by the director provide a limited comparison between Georgia's efforts in the field and those of other states and the federal government. It is significant to note the number of studies and reports undertaken by the Georgia General Assembly, indicating the popular interest in this phase of the Georgia penal system. Also indicated by the records in this series is the close liaison maintained by the director with the several industrial shops operated by the office.

Arrangement Note

The records are divided into three major subject divisions. A small set of subject files, consisting primarily of correspondence and brochures, is filed first and arranged alphabetically by subject or name of correspondent or company. The reference publications are filed second, followed by the studies and reports made on the system as a whole and the monthly production reports from the specific industrial operations located at the state prison in Reidsville, Georgia.
