Inmates don't have to check in anywhere while on furlough. The furlough program is de- signed to restore the inmate's contact with the community, his family roots and his self-image, Livinggood added. It helps them to make the transition to the community through participation in halfway houses and other pro- grams. When an inmate fails to return from a furlough or work release, the prison notifies the local and state police, Figmick said. Cap- tured inmates are arrested and charged with prison breach and moved to a higher level of security than they were previously incar- cerated in. “I don't know how they make the Fugitive-of-the-Week list,” he said. ~ Newly-appointed corrections commissioner Martin Horn has’ made Governor Thomas Ridge aware of the furlough policy, ac- cording to Ridge's press secre- tary, Tim Reeves. “The governor is concerned about the prison furlough policy and has directed that it be inten- sively reviewed,” Reeves said. Figmick provided several sta- tistics on inmates who walk away from weekend furloughs: Statewide in 1994, of 968 inmates who were granted 2,691 furloughs, seven never returned. In 1993, of 1,052 inmates granted 3,009 furloughs state- wide, six went AWOL. In 1992, of 1,071 inmates granted 3,134 furloughs state- wide, seven skipped. At SCID, so far this year 18 inmates have been granted 31 furloughs, with no one failing to return. In 1994, 42 SCID inmates went out on 79 furloughs. Wells was the only one to go AWOL. In 1993, 35 SCID inmates went on 87 fur- loughs and all returned. “The number of inmates who skip is a minute fraction of those who return,” Livinggood said. “It’s a good indication that our screen- ing system works. Of course some inmates fail - this is a risk-man- agement business. We caught a lifer who had been on the run from Graterford for 14 years. He had escaped by hiding ina wooden cabinet he had built.” Dallas (continued from page 1) Federal funding has decreased 13 percent, or $37,789, to $243,000. Local income makes up 55 percent of the budget, while 38 percent comes from state monies, Williams said. Federal funding makes up less than one percent. “The total assessment valuation increased only $746,000 this year,” Williams said. “At one time I saw it increase every year by $2 million to $3 million. The tax col- lectors have given me some very conservative projections of growth for next year.” Sixty percent of the budget, or approximately $12,141,922, is spent on instructional programs, she said. Support services account for 27 percent of the budget, or Are You $5,463,865, while student activi- ties and community services make up two percent, or $404,730, Williams said. Pay increases for teachers ac- count for $300,000, or 1.4 per- cent of the budget, with an addi- tional $65,000 set aside for raises for support staff. The district spends $8.8 million on employ- ees’ salaries and benefits, Wil- liams said. Dallas employs 154 full-time teachers, 10 part-time teachers, nine administrators and 65 sup- port personnel. Its enrollment is 2,495 stu- dents. The budget will be available for public inspection at the central office for the next 30 days. a. ..__]| Having Difficulty A. LAKESIDE NURSING CENTER...
