Chase inmates to train
for carpet laying trade
An innovative program to
train 12 inmates from the State
Correctional Institution at
Chase as carpet layers has been
announced by the U.S. Depart-
ments of Labor and Health, Ed- °
ucation and Welfare.
According to Frank Johnston,
superintendent of the Institu-
tion, the program is actually a
continuation of a similar project
‘initiated last year, and the
$12,851 allocated by the Federal
government for the 52-week
training course is a re-issue of a
grant made in 1970.
Last year, Mr. Johnston told
The Post, 12 inmates completed
the carpet laying program. All
of the trainees have since been
released from prison, the super-
intendent said, although he has
no way of knowing whether or
not they are now employed in
the carpet laying trade.
Joe Kirkbride, a representa-
tive of the U.S. Department of
Labor in Philadelphia, reported
to ¥ Post that “the training of
offefiders represents a major
thrust by the Dept. of Labor to
ease the return of inmates back
into society.”
While the bulk of the
department’s activity remains
oriented toward the jobless and
disadvantaged, training pro-
grams similar to the carpet
laying course at Chase repre-
sent a ‘‘modest effort” to aid
prisoners, Mr. Kirkbride said.
Other job training projects
funded by the Dept. of Labor
include a pre-apprenticeship
program in construction at the
Federal penitentiary in Wala
Wala, Wash., a small appliance
repair course and a pressman-
trainee course in one Maryland
prison. ;
Superintendent Johnston
reports that the current carpet
laying program will begin July
1. The trainees selected for the
course must have at least one
year left to serve at the in-
stitution and must be from or
willing to settle in an area
where carpet laying skills are in
demand. Additionally, prospec-
tive candidates are interviewed
by the Dept. of Labor to deter-
mine motivation and are re-
quired to take mechanical apti-
tude tests.
The year-long program in-
cludes courses in mathematics
necessary for estimating jobs,
studies in interpersonal rela-
tionships, and courses in the
mechanical aspects of carpet
cutting and fitting.
Graduates of the course are
assisted by the Pennsylvania
State Employment Service in
locating suitable employment
for utilizing their new skills, al-
though Mr. Johnston suggested
that there had not been suffic-
ient cooperation with all the
agencies involved last year to
effect a truly satisfactory
placement service. He expects
a smoother operation in that
respect in 1972.
Mr. Johnston was quick to
point out that while this federal-
ly funded pilot program in-
volves only 12 persons, the insti-
tution has for many years main-
tained correctional industries
programs which involve
‘‘everyone sufficiently able-
bodied to be engaged in mean-
ingful work opportunities.”
