Taylor County
To Close Prison
ATLANTA <UPI> — Taylor!
| County has decided to close its I
| prison camp—the 16th to do so ;
; in recent months.
And the State Board of Cor-
■ rections indicated at its
1 Tuesday meeting that another
j county—Wilkes—will be ordered
ito close down its camp for
i failure to comply with minimum
: safety and health standards.
At the same time Tuesday,
ithe House Penal Reform Study
! Committee took some slaps at
[the operation of the state pris
ons system and promised to in-
I vestigate correctional facilities
1 and personnel.
The Corrections Board was
■ told b}’ Wilkes County officials
l at its meeting that the camp’s
wooden building w’ould not be
I replaced by a fireproof struc
; ture as required by regulations.
But the board, on request of
a vote on closing the camp un
i til members could visit the
: prison. Sen. McGill said he and ;
others are working to get a re
gional prison facility for the
’ northeast Georgia area.
The Corrections Board plans
Ito construct five such regional
; prison camps.
Corrections Director Robert
! Carter said Taylor County vol
; untarily decided to close its i
camp rather than spend neces
sary funds for improvements. I
The board heard from officials
iof four other counties Tuesday
; in its continuing investigation |
l of conditions in the county;
I camps. Carroll, Chattooga, Col-
I quitt and Floyd County repre
; sentatives said they plan to
: to keep their camps open.
