4—The Southern Concourse, Fall 2016
The SSCA officers held the fall quarterly meeting in Richmond, Virginia, Septem-
ber 16-18, 2016. Those in attendance were Cookie Crews, Carol Gilcrease, Lor-
raine Rea, and Buck Rogers.
Many items were discussed but the most discussed were SOP 108-State Rep
Training Money. Please make yourself familiar with this SOP as it will be en-
forced tighter as the policy states. The key part was the producing of the docu-
mentation for the use of the funds. There was conversation about the states
with little or no members: Florida, Texas, North Carolina, & West Virginia.
Membership was the most important topic discussed with ideas of how to in-
crease interest and grow our numbers. My goal to increase membership by 20% during this year is very
attainable but we need the support of each and every member to get on board and sign up a friend. There
were 1,056 members when our year began.
My goal is adding 211 new members by July, 2017 for a total of
1,267. Let's get going!! Help your state rep reach your
goal. Your progress will be published in the Winter Con-
course. Be proud of it!!
Our Virginia committees are working hard to give you great
training conferences in February and July 2017! I truly believe
you will really like the sessions planned and have some great
memories in Norfolk, Virginia. This has been a great learning
experience for us a team but we are progressing and learning
very fast. Norfolk is a great venue and has many great experi-
ences within walking distances of the hotel.
Let's get going and sign up NEW members and work hard to
keep present members and help me, help you, help us! See you
in Norfolk!

Tribute to P.C. Shields
“A Tall Tree Has Fallen”
A Tall Tree has indeed Fallen. That was one of the many comments made among members of SSCA’s Backrow when we learned of the passing of our dear friend and mentor, P.C. Shields. It is unfortunate that so many of our current members did not have the privilege of knowing Mr. Shields. Without him, there very well might have been a South-ern States Correctional Association.
Prior to 1969 two organizations existed, the Southern States Probation and Parole Conference and the Southern States Prison Association. Because of the overlapping of duties, many members of one of the associations were friends with members of the other association. The idea to combine the two into one cohesive organization was proposed. As you can imagine, there were very strong feelings both for and against. P.C. was a driving force to com-bine the two and now some four plus decades later, we remain the strongest Regional Correctional Association in the country because of his and his colleagues efforts.
His love of SSCA did not stop with its inception. Year after year he remained active, guided and encouraged each and every member who had any leadership role in the organization as well as any member who sought his counsel. In his honor, the SSCA Member Award was renamed, the P.C. Shields Member Service Award. Each award recipient has exemplified the same love and dedication to SSCA that the Award’s namesake has shown.
Born in July 1017 in his beloved Virginia, P.C. taught high school after graduation. In 1941 he volunteered for the Army serving during World War II. He was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. Following the War he joined the Army Reserve where he retired in 1977.
In June 1946 P.C. was appointed a probation/parole officer. In July 1950 he was appointed executive secretary of the Board where he served until 1962. He was then appointed to the Vir-ginia Parole Board and served the Board for more than 20 years with the last 10 years as Chairman. He was appoint-ed by both Democratic and Republican Governors. On retirement from the Board in 1982, he accepted the position of chief lobbyist for the Virginia Governmental Employee Association. Upon his retirement from the VGEA, he was recognized by the General Assembly of Virginia in their joint resolution for his service to the state of Virginia.
P.C. and his wife, Hazel, attended our conferences faithfully, until failing health prevented it. He was always in the middle of a group in his seersucker suit, recanting stories of days gone by and hopes for our future. He was so look-ing forward to attending this year’s conference in his beloved home state, I’m not so sure he won’t be there. A true Southern Gentleman, slight in statue, but casting a very large shadow, he will be missed by all who knew him.

the form of an Administrative
Step-Down Program. The Ad-
ministrative Step-Down Pro-
gram, applied within two of
Virginia’s highest security level
institutions -Wallens Ridge
and Red Onion State Prisons -
is a result of how principled
values paired with the respon-
sibility of improving public
safety can reform the use of
Administrative Segregation.
“When Harold Clarke ar-
rived as our Director in 2010,
he introduced a whole initia-
tive to us to really refocus
from short-term public safety,
which is incarcerating people
and having them on probation
and supervision, to really fo-
cusing our efforts on creating
long-term public safety,” said
Scott Richeson, VADOC Deputy
Director of Re-Entry and Pro-
grams. The shift in progressive
leadership and ideology pro-
moted the necessity to reduce
the number of offenders in
long term restrictive housing,
also known as Administrative
Segregation, and address the
F or the employees of
the Virginia Depart-
ment of Corrections
(VADOC), an agency mission is
simply not words spoken off
the tongue; it is a purpose and
driving force for all individuals
who contribute daily towards
the charge of lasting public
safety. “We enhance the quali-
ty of life in the Commonwealth
by improving public safety. We
accomplish this through reinte-
gration of sentenced men and
women in our custody and care
by providing supervision and
control, effective programs and
re-entry services in safe envi-
ronments which foster positive
change and growth consistent
with research-based evidence,
fiscal responsibility, and consti-
tutional standards.” In order to
successfully carry out this mis-
sion, the VADOC spearheaded
an organizational shift by man-
aging the initial risk within the
institutional setting to acceler-
ate reentry skill-building and
ensure that those returning to
the community would have the
tools they need for success in

annual release of around 60
offenders directly from restric-
tive housing to the community.
“I thought there was something
wrong with that picture. That
had to change. Those offenders
are deemed to be very danger-
ous. So therefore, every place
they went in the facility, they
were either escorted by one or
two individuals in restraints.
But then to release them into
the community with no re-
straints whatsoever and no pro-
cess from moving from a higher
security to a lower, I found that
to be troubling and decided
that something had to be done,
” explained VADOC Director
Harold Clarke.
Typically, offenders are as-
signed to restrictive housing,
also called Level S, due to issues
such as assaultive and disrup-
tive behaviors, extensive escape

histories, or extremely violent
and notorious crimes. Before
the Administrative Segregation
Step-Down Program, VADOC’s
offenders were released direct-
ly from a fully restrained re-
strictive housing setting to the
community, often without re-
ceiving any cognitive behavioral
therapy. There was nothing in
place to give the offenders an
adjustment period so they
could have positive interactions
with others. “We realized that
we had a situation where a lot
of people had gone into segre-
gation but they really didn’t
have a pathway to get out”,
said Richeson. “We had a think
tank of folks that came up with
some ideas and decided to ap-
ply the science of Evidence
Based Practices (EBPs) to a high
security environment and cre-
ate a step-down path for peo-
ple to get out. EBPs in the field
of corrections are a collection
of practices proven to reduce
criminal behavior by focusing
on reducing the causes of crim-
inal behavior, in addition to tra-
ditional risk control.
To motivate offenders to
change, the department real-
ized it had to change offenders’
perception of authority in the
facility. One solution came in
the form of Treatment Officers.
This newly created position
holds the responsibility of as-
sisting prison counselors in
providing programming for
offenders. The Treatment
Officer retains full security du-
ties while escorting and super-
vising offenders with the added
role of programming. This posi-
tion increased the prison’s pro-
grammatic resources and creat-
ed an environment to show
offenders that uniformed staff
members were there to moti-
vate and support positive
change. In addition, all staff re-
ceived training on motivational
interviewing strategies, such as
asking open-ended questions
and using summarization to en-
courage offenders to examine
their own thinking.
To assist with the evolving cul-
ture needed for the Administra-
tive Step-Down Program imple-
mentation, the concept of
Learning Teams for staff devel-
oped within the institution as a
platform to discuss staff appli-
cation of communication strat-
egies. The Learning Teams are
small, intimate groups of staff
that are coached by internally
trained communications and
dialogue coaches. The content
of Learning Teams focuses on
improved interactions with
offenders and operation of the
facility. “The climate of the pris-
on is one of helping people
change and creating internal
motivation for people to be-
have rather than just external,
we versus them, explains Riche-
son. “We have the same goal
as the offender. We all want
them, and they should want
themselves to do better. That’s
the goal so I think it’s a much
better environment for staff.”
Once the organizational de-
velopment and culture changes
were underway at the prison,
implementation of the Adminis-
trative Segregation Step-Down
Program began. It starts with
Orientation where a pathway
decision is made by the Dual-
Treatment Team. Each offend-
er is assigned to a track of ei-
ther Intensive Management
(IM) or Special Management
(SM). The Dual-Treatment
Team is comprised of staff to
include the Chief of Housing
Offender sits in a “programming secure
chair” allowing for a more social pro-
gramming experience; Treatment Officer
stands watch.

and Programs, Institution Pro-
gram Manager, Unit Manager,
Investigator, a Qualified Men-
tal Health Professional, a
Counselor, and a Corrections
Officer, from both Wallens
Ridge State Prison and Red
Onion State Prison. The di-
verse position titles and roles
allow for and encompassing
discussion on diverse aspects
pertaining to each individual
offender.
The Intensive Management
track is for offenders who dur-
ing incarceration have demon-
strated the potential for ex-
treme and deadly violence
against staff or other offend-
ers and whose intent for such
violence may remain, despite
a pattern of compliance.
Offenders in this group may
have serious escape histories
or have extremely heinous or
notorious criminal offenses.
Offenders in the IM track will
receive programming and
earn privileges but may never
progress out of restrictive
housing due to the risk they
pose. Some IM offenders may
progress to a step-down pod
in Security Level 6, which is
highly controlled but provides
for additional privileges. The
vision of Security Level 6 is to
serve as a proving ground for
offenders, allowing for a lack of re-
straints for the first time since
placement in restrictive housing.
The Special Management track is
for offenders who are assigned to
restrictive housing due to violent
acts. However, their repeated dis-
ruptive behaviors, assaults and
fights were without the intent to
kill. SM is also designed for offend-
ers who intentionally commit disci-
plinary violations to remain in seg-
regation due to fear of general
population. Offenders in the SM
track may progress further in the
step-down process and ultimately
return to a general population at a
lower security level.
Upon progression to a Security
Level 6 status, alternate solutions
are developed for those offenders
exhibiting characteristics such as
being easily bullied and manipulat-
ed by other offenders; those who
are developmentally disabled,
young or with mild mental health
issues; and those who have a
pattern of intentionally committing
numerous minor disciplinary
violations to ensure they are
retained in restrictive hous-
ing rather than returned to
general population. The Se-
cure Allied Management
(SAM) pod and Secure Inte-
grated Pod (SIP) have been
developed to be responsive
to these offenders’ needs
and abilities to develop pro-
social skills at a slower pace,
often requiring smaller group
settings.
Security enhancements
such as therapeutic modules
and programming chairs are
used during the delivery of
cognitive-based interactive
journaling. The program uses
the Challenge Series® creat-
ed by The Change Compa-
nies®. Programming is deliv-
ered in different phases, al-
lowing staff to observe
offender progress as privileg-
es and responsibilities are
incrementally increased in
each phase.
Since the application of the
Administrative Segregation
Step-Down Program, the
number of offenders in Ad-
ministrative Segregation at
Red Onion State Prison has
drastically reduced from the
The Southern Concourse, Fall 2016—15
511 that held that status in
2011. At the time this article
was submitted, 174 restrictive
housing offenders were housed
at Wallens Ridge and Red On-
ion. More than 350 offenders
who were once in restrictive
housing have successfully
moved into a Level 6 or Level 5
general population setting
through the program. From cal-
endar year 2011 through 2015,
there was a 71percent reduc-
tion in offender formal griev-
ances and a 76percent reduc-
tion in informal complaints at
Red Onion State Prison. To
date, only 20 offenders who
have completed the Adminis-
trative Segregation Step-Down
Program have returned to a re-
strictive housing status from a
Security Level 5 population
setting due to disciplinary is-
sues.
As a result of the creativity,
uniqueness and effectiveness of
the Administrative Step- Down
Program, several other correc-
tional agencies have contacted
the Virginia Department of Cor-
rections seeking to replicate the
program. Since 2012, Red On-
ion State Prison has hosted
tours for multiple agencies in-
cluding the Vera Institute of
Justice and state correctional
departments from North Carolina,
South Carolina, South Dakota, New
York, Maine, Kentucky, Tennessee
and Georgia.
In 2013, VADOC received the State
Transformation and Action Recogni-
tion (STAR) Award from the South-
ern Legislative Conference, provid-
ing national recognition for Virgin-
ia’s diligent work toward reducing
Administrative Segregation. In addi-
tion, in the January 2016 Report and
Recommendations Concerning the
Use of Restrictive Housing, the Unit-
ed States Justice Department noted
the restrictive housing efforts being
made in Virginia by highlighting
effective strategies for success in
reducing the Administrative Segre-
gation population.
Building on the success of the Ad-
ministrative Segregation Step-Down
Program, VADOC is currently apply-
ing aspects of the program toward
reducing restrictive housing at low-
er security level prisons statewide.
Enhanced restrictive housing opera-
tions include increased availability
for group programming services,
increased recreational exercise, and
behavioral goals established for pro-
gression to allow for successful tran-
sition back into a general population
setting. “We have to keep on trying
to be better,” proclaims Director
Clarke. “As we become better, we
are creating second chances
for human beings, the
offenders. As we become
better, we are creating good
beginnings and new begin-
nings for the children of
those offenders who find
themselves in that quagmire
of crime and punish-
ment. We know that those
kids are the ones that are at
risk. We have an opportuni-
ty to break that cycle.”

Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Law Enforcement
Dispatchers and 911 Call Center Operators
By Jillian E. Peek & Ronald R. Mellen, Ph.D. - Jacksonville State University
Introduction
Exceptional levels of stress can create changes in brain functioning. Such changes can result in what is
clinically known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The diagnosis of PTSD has been found prevalent in
specific groups including Departments of Correction, law enforcement, and the military. PTSD is a complex
disorder with a wide range of symptoms including the persistent recalling a stressful event, intrusive flash-
backs, recurring dreams related to the event, the tendency to avoid similar circumstances, inability to recall
aspects of the event, difficulty falling asleep, irritability, outbursts of anger, difficulty concentrating, hyper-
vigilance and exaggerated startle response.
These symptoms are collapsed into four major categories in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual V. It states a person must experience at least one of the following: *reliving experiences of the traumatic event, such as having distressing images and memories. *having upsetting dreams about the traumatic event. *Experiencing flashbacks as if one were experiencing the traumatic event again. *Experiencing ongoing or severe emotional distress and/or physical symptoms when something reminds one of the traumatic events.
Stress Related Issues
The present study addressed the question: Can law enforcement dispatchers and 911 operators also be vulnerable to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder? That is can indirect exposure to difficult situations contrib-ute to a dispatcher being diagnosed with PTSD? Examples are many and include where the dispatcher is working with a caller who is at risk of being harmed by another person or where the threat is self-harm. A second point of concern was the availability of post-incident counseling services for dispatchers and opera-tors. To answer these and other questions a survey was administered to 499 former and current dispatchers and 911 operators.
Findings
The first finding, as anticipated, was that a majority, about seven of ten participants experienced at least one symptom of PTSD after such work related calls. A second finding was unexpected. The initial assumption was that stress levels would lead to excep-tionally high job turnover rates. Results found three out of four respondents had 15 or more years of experi-ence as dispatchers and many were still working at their original places of employment.
The Southern Concourse, Fall 2016—21
A third area of interest was related to the available of counseling services for the dispatchers after a critical incident occurred. About seven of ten operators reported that counseling services were available. That was a positive and a surprisingly high number.
A follow-up issue was the frequency with which operators utilized counseling services. Again results were unexpected. Responses suggested about one in four operators had sought counseling after an excep-tionally difficult call. Further research is needed to understand why counseling services were not requested. One possible answer is, that like correctional and law enforcement officers, under these circumstances they may compartmentalize their thinking and simply "tough it out". Future research may look at the possibility of a numbing (low cortical activity) in the brain's empathy centers which can occur secondary to multiple ex-posures.
Of the total number of subjects in the present study, about seven in ten reported having experienced at least one work related PTSD symptom. About 17% reported having experienced two PTSD symptoms while up to one in five reported having experienced four types of symptoms.
Types of Critical Calls Received
Ninety-nine percent of study participants reported having taken a call concerning the death or seri-ous injury of a child or an adult while ninety-three percent reported having taken a call from a suicidal per-son. A little less than half reported having taken a call concerning a shooting which involved an officer or other first responder.
When participants were asked to describe the call they considered to be the worst ever experienced about one in four identified calls concerning the death or serious injury of a child. These calls included homi-cides, traffic accidents, drownings, fire-related deaths and injuries, neglect and abuse, as well as other vari-ous types of accidents.
About one in four participants who listed the category of “death or serious injury of an adult” refer-enced a call that involved an adult in homicide, traffic accidents, domestic calls, overdoses, fire-related deaths and injuries, or other types of accidents.
The next most commonly reported "worst" call category related to suicide. These included both suc-cessful and unsuccessful suicide attempts that occurred while talking to the 911 operator. Also third-party calls were difficult especially when the caller was a parent or other family member who had found their son or daughter after a successful suicide.
Calls relating the death or serious injury of an officer or first responder were sometimes listed as the most stressful. These included on-duty or off-duty police officers, sheriff’s deputies, and firefighters who were injured or had died while responding to a situation. Reported deaths also included heart attacks, sui-cide, fatal shootings, and traffic accidents.
Summary
Some of the above findings reveal the magnitude of emotions that these operators and dispatchers
must deal with. It was also noted that unexpected related to issues of the availability and utilization of post-incident counseling services by workers.
The above data reveals the high degree of commitment of call centers to support their operators and dispatchers as they work with the wide-reaching effects of traumatic calls, even in these indirect situations. Beyond the call centers it is important for the general public to understand the emotional issues facing dis-patchers and operators.

Virginia's Food Operations Mobilization Unit
By Mark Engeleke, Virginia Department of Corrections—Food Service Manager
The Food Operations Mobilization Unit (FOMU) is a specialized program with in the Virginia Department of
Correction (VADOC) that provides suitable storage, preparation, cooking and serving of meals to staff and
offenders when food facilities are not available in times of emergencies. Created in January 2008, to address
the need for quality food service during facility kitchen renovations, emergency feeding within a facility, feed-
ing at remote sites during emergency operations (e.g. search, rescues), off site state training, natural disas-
ters or approved charitable events within the community.
Prior to the FOMU, there was no planned or coordinated operations or resources to mobilize and accommo-
date the food service needs of hundreds or sometimes thousands of individuals. With the mobilization trail-
ers, the Virginia Department of Corrections now has the self-sustained necessary and vital components to
provide meal preparation, feeding, sanitation and power via generators, fuel and water. The FOMU has
trained qualified personnel to address the aspects of logistics, mobilization, deployment, and trailer set-up.
The FOMU members are all volunteer Food Service staff members from across the state. The FOMU utilizes
self-contained trailers with an array of Food Service (FS) equipment and utensils. The equipment within the
trailers is refurbished by our FS Refurbishing Center. All preventative maintenance and repairs are also per-
formed by offender labor at our FS Refurbishing Center. The program operational cost is funded through the
annual food service budget or the requesting agency’s budget.
The Southern Concourse, Fall 2016—23
Some activities the FOMU team has participated in:
Strike Force Trainings
Natural Disaster Emergencies
Department Emergency Drills
Facility Fires
Escapes
Department Employee Events
State Police Cooperative Events
Secretary of Public Safety planned events
Community Service Functions
The program has been exceedingly
helpful and cost effective in as-
sisting with emergencies within the
community and facilities, facility renovations, offsite training and community events. The program has creat-
ed cost avoidance in eliminating contractual resources required to provide meals, water, electrical power
and fuel. The average cost of a vendor supplied trailer is about $30,000 a month and a setup/breakdown
cost of approximately $50,000. In the last three mobilizations alone, we have avoided costs of almost
$700,000.00 (on an average 6 month usage). In addition to cost avoidance, the team is able to deploy neces-
sary trailers within hours after notification to sites all over the state, ensuring no interruption to food service
and maintenance of sanitation, safety and quality standards. This program is transferable to other states.
The major obstacle will be initial funding of the mobile units to provide food service
The military has used mobile food operations trailers for their emergency and combat forces. I am not aware
of any programs in other states correctional programs like ours.
In the past three years we have implemented a training program and drills to ensure faster response for the
Food Operations Mobilization Unit. We have also built new trailers to ensure response in any emergency or
Food Operations Area shutdown.
