Detailed monthly reports are also available. Given below are examples of cooperative efforts between SCDC and other State agencies. The South Carolina Departments of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services, Probation, Parole and Pardon Services, and Corrections jointly planned continuing care services to meet the needs of inmates returning to the community after completing the residential addictions treatment programs at Lee, Turbeville, and Leath Correctional Institutions and State Park Correctional Center. These efforts were facilitated through a grant. Department of Education The Division of Prison Industries, in cooperation with the South Carolina Department of Education s Vocational Education Program, developed a program for inmates at Manning Correctional Institution to rebuild donated computers for use by school districts that cannot afford to purchase their own computers.
Inmates learn valuable computer skills while providing a helping hand to school districts.
The Agriculture Branch provided milk for DJJ s population at a reduced cost to the agency. The Food Service Branch provided meals for DJJ s Union youth facility through the Tyger River Correctional Institution cafeteria. For the sixth consecutive year, the agency collaborated with the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice in sponsorship of Camp Paupi Win, a residential camp for 8-10 year old siblings of DJJ juveniles or children of adult offenders. The agency s non-security staff served as cabin counselors and program staff. SCDC provided the only nursing staff on site.
