Robinson Correctional Center is a minimum security facility located in Crawford County, one mile north of Robinson and seven miles from the Indiana border. More inmates were transferred to the facility during the fourth quarter of FY95 than the year before.
Inmate transfers out also depict an upswing.
Increases in population and movement have challenged staff to become more innovative in their approach to inmate management and programming. Inmate programming has a consistent theme at Robinson. This theme is to provide a framework for the inmate to focus skills and goals in a positive way after release. To this end, a Toastmaster's Chapter was established in FY95 through the office of the assistant warden of programs, making this the second facility in the department to initiate this type of program. The Toastmaster's Chapter currently has approximately 45 members made up of both staff and inmates providing a unique opportunity for both to experience working together toward a common goal as well as an opportunity for self-improvement in learning a skill which will provide a positive benefit.
