That's good considering the make-up of Randolph's prison population. Not only does Randolph's house demoted escapees, but the prison has a 54-man health ward for inmates with special needs. Some are in wheelchairs, some have cancer, others multi-heart problems. The prison psychologists started an anger-stress management program for geriatric inmates 65 years and older, many of whom are veterans who were heavy alcohol or substance abusers. A large number of the older inmates are in prison on their first offense.
