Abstract:

David L. Jones, Secretary of the Department of Corrections, discusses problems facing the state's prison system and what might be done to correct them. New facilities are needed. The state has seventy-seven prison units, but 60 percent were built in the 1930s. Central Prison in Raleigh is the state's only maximum security institution. Many units are overcrowded, creating problems with and among inmates.
