Case Manager Position
Info about Lancaster Co. Case Managers
In Lancaster County, they had case managers who were under contract with RMO
and they were located in their own building
The PO and a case manager would develop an after-care plan
The case manager would make sure the RC would make it to their scheduled
appointments
Harvey believes there were PO’s that would go into the facility and make a
recommendation on which inmates would be suitable for case management – a
question to ask Melanie would be to see how individuals obtain a case manager
Other Discussion about Case Managers
In Centre County, we have jail and probation, but the missing piece is between
when they are release and when they are settled in the community
Overall, the members of the subcommittee feel that a case manager position
would be beneficial, but there needs to be a lot of discussion and planning, and
the logistics need to be worked out
Gene displayed for the group a Participant Service Plan that is used in Lancaster
County – he is going to send it to everyone via email and include Karla from
Probation
o This form could possibly be used by a case manager
o Tom said the form is essentially a really detailed parole plan (the current
parole plan form used is one page)
o Harvey has a one page form in his records from Lancaster that he is going
to send to Gene
Faith suggested a meeting with the various case managers she knows that already
exist in Centre County such as:
o Community Help Center
o Interfaith Human Services
It was determined that Centre County needs a specialized case manager as they
are targeting a small population
What is the level of cooperation from the inmate?
o What happens if they do not follow through with case management?
o In Lancaster, they would “fire” the individual from the program
o Need buy-in from inmate, CCCF, Probation, Court
o What will the process be for determining who would get a case manager?
Where would the case manager be located out of – if CCCF correctional
counselor, they are viewed as having no authority after release
8/24/16 Reentry Life Skills Subcommittee Meeting Notes
Harvey said individuals need intensive case management and then long term
mentoring such as the Mentoring Program
Driver’s License/ID Cards for Inmates Without Photo ID
It is so important for an individual to have a valid form of photo ID upon release as many
services rely on photo ID
It was suggested if an individual was receiving assistance at one point to contact the
Assistance Office and see if a copy of their ID could be obtained
Upon an individual entering CCCF, have a JNET query done to see if they have a valid
ID/license
There would obviously be a fee to the inmate for obtaining ID
The group feels that this is an important issue to work on as a valid photo ID is essential
in receiving so many services
Medical Assistance/Assistance
If an individual becomes incarcerated and their MA gets cut, do they report one less
individual in the household resulting in less assistance (food stamps, etc.)?
A new law is being implemented where an individual’s MA will be suspended upon
incarceration (if the sentence is 2 years or less) so it can be easily reinstated upon release
o When will this be going into effect? Gene to let everyone know
Risk/Needs Assessment
Looking at a Risk/Needs Assessment has been put on hold as PCCD and the Chief’s
Association are compiling a report of the different assessments
o This report will probably be out next month
Housing
The Vash Vouchers have worked really well
Landlords in Altoona are different than the ones in State College as they have some low
income buildings and are happy to house individuals for less money
There are 17,000 landlords in Centre County and Betsy said they are in the process of
reaching out to them to see if they would be willing to house low income individuals
Some landlords further out from State College are willing to house low income
individuals, but then transportation becomes an issue for the tenant
Money Management
Wendy said the biggest thing they do at Interfaith is money management
They work with individuals for as long as they need
For some individuals, they actually manage their money and pay their bills for them
They are willing to work with individuals while in CCCF and continue to work with them
upon release
**The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 7th at 3 p.m.

Hi Warden,
I think Gene Lauri was in touch with you about the video we are creating for the Centre County Reentry
Coalition. We would love to do a quick interview and ask you, "Why is reentry important to the community?" and follow
up with "why do you care about reentry?".
The videographers are willing to come to the jail and try to work around our schedules but said that Monday, Wednesday or Thursday
afternoons between 12-4 is typically best. I would expect it to take no more than 30 minutes. Could you please send me a couple of
upcoming times that would work for you and I'll confirm that they are available. Thank you!

Free state ID cards proposed for newly released
prisoners
Originally published February 20, 2015 at 8:42 pm
Lacking proper identification like a driver’s license can be a barrier as
newly released prisoners look for a job and a place to live. A bill by state
Sen. Cyrus Habib, D-Kirkland, would issue free identification cards to
prisoners upon release.

Walker Orenstein
Seattle Times staff reporter
OLYMPIA — Sometimes small barriers present the biggest challenges to re-entering
society for recently released inmates of Washington prisons.
Matthew Deen, who served time at Monroe Correctional Complex for drug and
domestic-violence offenses, said not having proper identification was one of those
hurdles. Identification is required for getting housing and a job, cashing a check,
access to a library card and a host of other everyday tasks.
Deen’s driver’s license expired in prison, and a new license or renewal runs $45 to
$54, plus the time and cost of transportation to a Department of Licensing (DOL)
office. Most prisoners without money are released with $40.
But a new bill in the Legislature would issue inmates free, temporary state
identification cards as they leave prison. The bill, Senate Bill 5173, is sponsored by
state Sen. Cyrus Habib, D-Kirkland, and would expand a 2014 pilot program Habib
put together at the Monroe complex. An amended companion bill is in the House
Rules Committee, and a floor vote is likely in the House next week.
Deen, 25, hadn’t heard of the pilot until he got his picture taken for an ID, and said
he was excited that he wouldn’t have to shell out the cash and take time in his first
week out of prison to get a new card.
“It was a lot easier, definitely,” he said.
“A lot of guys, they don’t want to spend half their release money to go and get an
ID.”
Habib tried to pass the pilot program as a bill last year, and despite its unanimous
support in a House vote, its funding source was questioned in a Senate committee.
Habib changed the revenue source and successfully added it to the 2014
supplemental budget.
Dan Pacholke from the Department of Corrections (DOC) said since September
2014 when the program started, Monroe has issued cards to 264 offenders — 83
percent of those eligible, according to DOC.
3
Habib’s new bill would make the program permanent and statewide, rather than a
year-to-year budget provision. Companion House Bill 1320 has cleared two
committees with an amendment to charge offenders $9 for the card. Habib’s Senate
bill is in the Senate Committee on Law and Justice, where committee Chairman Sen.
Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley, won’t hear it. Padden said he may consider hearing
the House bill if it passes the House.
“I think somebody ought to be able to hopefully make $14 or something without the
government having to come in and provide that for them,” he said. Padden said he
believes charitable organizations should be responsible for programs like Habib’s.
“I’m just not sure we need to pass a new bill.”
A statewide program would cost about $500,000 every two years, according to the
Office of Financial Management’s assessment of the amended bill. Pacholke said
about 8,000 inmates are released from Washington every year.
King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg first brought Habib the idea to issue free
identification. At state prisons other than Monroe, inmates get DOC cards that
rarely work as valid identification. Besides their impracticality, Satterberg said a
DOC card unnecessarily marks those who were formerly incarcerated.
“It seems like the message the state is giving to people on the way out of prison was
that ‘we expect you’re going to come right back,’ ” Satterberg said. “Not ‘welcome
back to society.’ ”
Pacholke added: “Nobody wants this prison ID card. It’s not valid, but it is
embarrassing.”
Habib said giving inmates “identicards,” as the DOL calls them, would aid former
inmates’ interactions with police. The state having access to a high-quality photo of
former inmates is important to have on record, Habib said, and inmates can avoid
profiling by having identification that doesn’t cast them as simply an offender.
“When you think about recidivism as a problem, most good solutions are
expensive,” he said. “They’re a great bargain in the long run and definitely you need
to do them, but given a tight budget situation we’ve been facing the last few years,
it’s often difficult to make those big investments when we see the results down the
line.”
4
The program doesn’t cost a lot, Habib added, “and I think it’s something that has a
significant capacity to help people get re-entered into society.”
Florida and California are among the places that have instituted similar versions of
the program.
Receiving an identicard was a welcome surprise for Deen. He balked when asked if
paying full price for identification cards is a trivial expense for recently released
inmates.
“A lot of people don’t have that,” he said.

Top Health Tips for Men
Written By Julian Whitaker, MD
When it comes to health care, we men are like ostriches. We bury our heads in the sand. We are much less
likely than women to visit our doctors regularly, take symptoms seriously and live a healthful lifestyle.
Maybe that’s one reason why women have a seven‐year average survival advantage on us!
Yet it’s obviously important that men of all ages become more proactive about their health. And an easy
way to start is to follow these 10 basic steps to maintaining health and vitality.
1. Eliminate “White Foods” from Your Diet. White flour, white sugar and other processed foods are not
only devoid of vitamins and minerals, but they’ve also been stripped of their natural fibre. As a result, they
rapidly drive up blood sugar levels, which contributes to weight gain, diabetes and a host of other health
6
problems. Avoid breads and baked goods made with white flour, sugar‐laden sodas and snack foods.
Instead, focus on eating fibre‐rich fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains.
2. Stay Away from Dangerous Trans Fats. While it’s important to reduce your overall fat intake, it’s even
more important to watch the types of fat you eat. Deep‐fried foods and anything made with hydrogenated
oils (margarine, peanut butter, shortening, store‐bought pastries and cookies) contain trans fats that raise
your risk of heart disease. Eat only healthful fats, such as olive oil and the omega‐3 oils found in salmon and
other cold‐water fish, which actually protect against heart disease.
3. Take a Potent Daily Multivitamin and Mineral Supplement. Although there is no substitute for a good
diet, I am convinced that for optimal nutrition, you need to take a high‐potency multivitamin and mineral
supplement. Even if you are eating right, it’s unlikely that your food contains all the nutrients you need.
Poor soil quality, storage, processing and cooking deplete our food of vitamins and minerals. Taking a high
quality daily supplement is “health insurance” against possible deficiencies.
4. Include Weight Training in Your Exercise Routine. Aerobic exercise is great for cardiovascular
conditioning, but it’s vastly inferior to weight training in attacking the “flab factor.” Recent research has
shown that as little as once‐weekly resistance exercise can improve muscle strength. Even the busiest or
laziest among us can find the time and energy for that. Join a gym, consult a personal trainer or ask an
experienced friend to show you the ropes.
5. Maintain Your Optimal Weight. Current statistics suggest that half of us are losing the battle of the
bulge, but maintaining a healthy weight is one of the best things you can do for yourself. You’ll look better,
feel better and reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and other major killers. I know
this is easier said than done, but if you just follow the four steps above, you’ll be well on your way.
6. Drink Alcohol Only in Moderation. You’ve probably heard of the “French Paradox,” and that drinking
wine protects against heart disease. Repeated studies have shown that drinking moderate amounts of
alcohol (all kinds) protects not only against heart disease, but also lowers risk of death from all causes.
Remember that moderation is key. While one to two drinks a day are protective, excess alcohol
consumption is devastating to health. And for some, one drink is too many.
7. Protect Your Prostate. Around the age of 40, the prostate gland begins a growth spurt that results in
symptoms such as frequent nighttime urination. The good news is that this condition, known as benign
prostatic hyperplasia, can be prevented or reversed by taking extracts of two herbs: saw palmetto
(Serenoa repens) and pygeum (Pygeum africanum). Dozens of studies have shown that these herbs work
in improving urinary flow without adverse side‐effects. Suggested doses are 160 to 320 milligrams of saw
palmetto and 40 to 80 mg of pygeum daily.
8. Reduce Your Risk of Prostate Cancer. Experts estimate that 80 per cent of all cancers can be prevented
by making healthy lifestyle choices. Avoid saturated and trans fats, which may fuel prostate cancer growth,
and incorporate protective foods, such as soy, green tea and tomatoes, into your diet. Soy contains
isoflavones with specific anti‐cancer activity. Green tea is rich in polyphenols that inhibit the formation of
cancer‐causing compounds and block the growth of prostate cancer cells. And tomatoes, particularly
cooked tomato products, are an excellent source of lycopene, which is linked to a reduced risk of prostate
cancer. In addition, make sure your daily nutritional supplement contains high doses of the antioxidant
selenium (200 micrograms) and vitamin E (800 IU), which have been shown to dramatically lower the risk
of prostate cancer.
7
9. Maintain Close Relationships. Another thing women seem to do better than men is maintain close
relationships. Make a point to strengthen ties with your family and friends. Volunteer work, religious ties,
even pets anything that keeps you involved with others reduces stress and enhances health.
Take charge of your health by incorporating these steps into your life. The rewards of optimal health and
well‐being will be well worth your efforts.

Ten Step Hand Reflexology Self Treatment
By Phylameana lila Desy
1‐‐Pinching Tips
Begin your relaxing ten minute hand reflexology treatment by pinching the tips of each finger and thumb
of your right hand. Reverse and repeat this process on your left hand. The pressure applied to your fingers
should be firm, but not painful. A few seconds for each finger tip will do.
2‐‐Pinching Sides of Finger Tips
12
After pinching the tops and bottoms of your finger and thumb tips go back to each tip and pinch them
again, this time squeezing from side to side. Again, apply pressure, a little discomfort is okay. But, it is
important not to inflict pain on yourself.
3‐‐Vigorous Finger Rubbing
Combine steps 3 and 4 rubbing the tops and bottoms (above photo) and also rubbing the sides (photo
below) of each finger and thumb. Vigorously rub back and forth from the base to the tip.
4‐‐More Vigorous Finger Rubbing
13
Rub Sides of Thumb and Fingers from Base to Tip.
5‐‐Finger Tugging
Grasp each finger (and thumb) at its base and tug firmly. Allow your grip to loosen slightly, graduating it
from the base to the finger tip until your finger slips out of your grasp completely.
6‐‐Pinch and Pull Webbed Areas Between Fingers
14
Using your thumb and forefinger firmly grasp the webbed area between your thumb and and forefinger of
your other hand. Keeping a firm hold, tug at the skin gently until the fleshy web snaps away from your
grasp. Repeat this process for the webbed‐tween areas on all your fingers.
7‐‐Massage Top of Hand with Thumb
Rest the palm of your hand inside the palm of your free hand. Use your thumb to massage the back of your
hand. Leisurely manipulate the knuckles and inbetween knuckle area first. Continue thumb massaging
each area on the back of the hand.
8‐‐Massage Inner Wrists
Gently cradle your wrist inside your free hand. Use your thumb to massage your inner wrist. This is an
espcially soothing massage for anyone who routinely uses their wrists in repetitive movements (i.e.
computer mousing).
15
9‐‐Massage Palm of Hand
Massage the palm of your hand with your thumb. Alternately you can use your knuckle to massage the
fleshier mound areas more deeply.
10‐‐Centering
Press Center of Palm with Thumb.
At the end of your session press your thumb deeply in the center of your palm. Take a few cleansing
breaths. This is an opportune moment to relax and clear your mind.

Good morning Warden SmithI hope this note finds you well. I am touching base with you as a follow up to my meeting earlier this morning
with the group of faculty members who participated in the entrepreneurship class that we offered last spring at
the jail. I am pleased to inform you that everyone in our group is willing and eager to participate in the course
once again this fall.
As you may recall, this newest re-entry course is entitled, Change - Where Do I Go From Here? The course
will once again consist of six, weekly, two-hour sessions and is tentatively scheduled to begin on Thursday,
September 29, 2016. Each session will be held from 2:00pm to 4:00pm in one of your classrooms that has
equipment capable of reading and displaying information from a DVD.
As was the case in the first class, we would like to invite no more than 15 individuals to participate in the
class. In addition, however, we would like to know who, if anyone from the first class is still incarcerated and if
they would be interested in participating/assisting in this second course offering, as well. We will again be
providing each participant his own textbook, which we will be bringing to the first session for distribution. That
textbook is entitled, The Art of Innovation, and was written by Dr. Matson. In addition to bringing textbooks
into the jail, each participant will need a writing instrument. Director Hite supplied pencils for the last class and
had them available at the front desk when we entered each week. We will also bring to our first class a blank,
personal, idea journal into which each class participant can write his thoughts, ideas, etc., before during and
after each class session.
18
As always, Warden Smith, if you and/or any of your staff has questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. And thank
you once again for affording CentrePeace the opportunity to make a difference. I look forward to hearing back
from you with date confirmations at your earliest convenience.
Blessings,
Thom

Briefing for CCCF
Dee:
I wanted to make you aware of the following issues:
I called today to the PA DOC Academy and got them to agree to a 72 hour turnaround once
they receive our Academy required documentation. We should have that all together by next
Friday to start our own Class by late September 2016.
We have had one (1) male and 1 female Officer resign without notice yesterday and today
(Christopher Weaver and Diana Forry). We have interviews scheduled for next week to fill
these six (6) positions plus position 66.
The facility as you can see can easily close the A3 Unit. I need direction as to close it or keep
it open. In addition there is an ongoing issue as to the number of Full Time positions we have.
When you come back from Vacation I will need a Position Control Number to fill the 66’th
position.
Thank You,
Rick

Hi Gene,
After leaving the facility, I checked my email and saw I received an email from Warren County Commissioner
Jeff Eggleston about his visit on Monday. Initially it was going to include Jeff and someone from their
correctional facility. The crew coming down on Monday has grown to include: all three Commissioners (Jeff,
Ben Kafferlin, and Cindy Morrison), their Deputy Warden Jon Collins, a Public Defender John Parrocini, and
their fiscal director, Judy Albaugh.
Gene and I can still give an overview of the Re-Entry program and its creation but they are interested in a tour
of the facility.
Rick- before or after Gene and I meet with the Warren County folks could we have someone available to give
them a tour of the facility?
They will arrive at 12noon on Monday. We can do the tour before or after we meet with them whatever is more
convenient for your staff. I anticipate 60 to 90 minutes for the meeting.
Please call if you have any questions. I'll be at the Fair this afternoon/tonight and my email has been sporadic.
Thanks,
Mike

department's regulations and the Commonwealth's approved Title XIX
State Plan for nursing facility services in effect after June 30,
2007. The following shall apply:
* * *
(iv) Subject to Federal approval of such amendments as may be
necessary to the Commonwealth's approved Title XIX State Plan, for
each fiscal year beginning on or after July 1, 2011, the
department shall apply a revenue adjustment neutrality factor to
county and nonpublic nursing facility payment rates so that the
estimated Statewide day-weighted average payment rate in effect
for that fiscal year is limited to the amount permitted by the
funds appropriated by the General Appropriation Act for the fiscal
year. The revenue adjustment neutrality factor shall remain in
effect until the sooner of June 30, [2016] 2019, or the date on
which a new rate-setting methodology for medical assistance
nursing facility services which replaces the rate-setting
methodology codified in 55 Pa. Code Chs. 1187 (relating to nursing
facility services) and 1189 (relating to county nursing facility
services) takes effect.
* * *
(vi) Subject to Federal approval of such amendments as may be
necessary to the Commonwealth's approved Title XIX State Plan, for
fiscal [year 2015-2016] years 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, the
department shall make up to four medical assistance day-one
incentive payments to qualified nonpublic nursing facilities. The
department shall determine the nonpublic nursing facilities that
qualify for the medical assistance day-one incentive payments and
calculate the payments using the total Pennsylvania medical
assistance (PA MA) days and total resident days as reported by
nonpublic nursing facilities under Article VIII-A. The
department's determination and calculations under this
subparagraph shall be based on the nursing facility assessment
quarterly resident day reporting forms, as determined by the
department. The department shall not retroactively revise a
medical assistance day-one incentive payment amount based on a
nursing facility's late submission or revision of the department's
report after the dates designated by the department. The
department, however, may recoup payments based on an audit of a
nursing facility's report. The following shall apply:
(A) A nonpublic nursing facility shall meet all of the
following criteria to qualify for a medical assistance day-one
incentive payment:
(I) The nursing facility shall have an overall occupancy rate
of at least eighty-five percent during the resident day quarter.
For purposes of determining a nursing facility's overall occupancy
rate, a nursing facility's total resident days, as reported by the
facility under Article VIII-A, shall be divided by the product of
the facility's licensed bed capacity, at the end of the quarter,
multiplied by the number of calendar days in the quarter.
(II) The nursing facility shall have a medical assistance
occupancy rate of at least sixty-five percent during the resident
day quarter. For purposes of determining a nursing facility's
medical assistance occupancy rate, the nursing facility's total PA
MA days shall be divided by the nursing facility's total resident
days, as reported by the facility under Article VIII-A.
(III) The nursing facility shall be a nonpublic nursing
facility for a full resident day quarter prior to the applicable
quarterly reporting due dates, as determined by the department.
(B) The department shall calculate a qualified nonpublic
nursing facility's medical assistance day-one incentive payment as
follows:
(I) The total funds appropriated for payments under this
subparagraph shall be divided by the number of payments, as
determined by the department.

(II) To establish the per diem rate for a payment, the amount
under subclause (I) shall be divided by the total PA MA days, as
reported by all qualifying nonpublic nursing facilities under
Article VIII-A for that payment.
(III) To determine a qualifying nonpublic nursing facility's
medical assistance day-one incentive payment, the per diem rate
calculated for the payment shall be multiplied by a nonpublic
nursing facility's total PA MA days, as reported by the facility
under Article VIII-A for the payment.
(C) For fiscal [year 2015-2016] years 2015-2016 and 2016-2017,
the State funds available for the nonpublic nursing facility
medical assistance day-one incentive payments shall equal eight
million dollars ($8,000,000).

6 Things That Will Happen When You Stop
Working Out
By Cindy Kuzma for Men's Health
Just as a good training program builds you up, falling off the workout wagon can have the opposite effect—
sometimes almost immediately.
Experts call this phenomenon "detraining,” and its consequences can weigh even heavier than the gut you see in
the mirror.
Fortunately, the condition is fully reversible, as long as you get your behind back to the gym.
Here's what happens when you swap your regular sweat sessions for never-ending Netflix nights—and how
long it takes to re-flip the fitness switch.
4
1. Your Blood Pressure Soars
This effect is near-instant: Your blood pressure is higher on the days you don't exercise than the days you do.
Your blood vessels adapt to the slower flow of a sedentary lifestyle after just 2 weeks, which clicks your
readings up another couple of notches, according to a recent study in the journal PLoS. Within a month,
stiffening arteries and veins send your BP back to where it would be if you'd never even left the couch, says
study author Linda Pescatello, PhD, of the University of Connecticut.
Reverse it: The whole scenario unfolds backward when you start sweating again. Your blood pressure drops a
bit that day and your blood vessels begin to function more efficiently within a week. After a month or two, the
stress from heart-pumping workouts makes your vasculature more flexible, causing lasting pressure-lowering
effects, Pescatello says.
2. Your Blood Sugar Spikes
Normally, your blood glucose rises after you eat, then drops as your muscles and other tissues suck up the sugar
they need for energy. But after 5 days of slothfulness, your post-meal blood sugar levels remain elevated
instead, according to a recent study in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. If you stay
sedentary, continuously creeping glucose readings can raise your risk of heart disease and diabetes, says study
coauthor James Thyfault, PhD, of the University of Missouri.
Reverse it: Just 1 week of regular exercise dramatically drops post-meal blood sugar, even in people who
already have type 2 diabetes, Thyfault says.
3. You Get Winded Fast
Gasping for breath after just a few stairs? Within 2 weeks of avoiding the gym, your VO2 max—a measure of
fitness that assesses how much oxygen your working muscles can use—decreases by as much as 20%, says
exercise physiologist Stacy Sims, PhD. What's more, if you recently started a workout plan, your fitness gains
could actually evaporate completely, notes Nikolaos Koundourakis, PhD, of the University of Crete.
5
One reason: You lose mitochondria, or the mini-factories within your muscle cells that convert that oxygen into
energy. In fact, in a recent British study, 2 weeks of immobilization decreased muscle mitochondrial content as
much as 6 weeks of endurance training increased it.
Reverse it: You can rebuild those mitochondria, but it'll take you longer than it did to lose them. That's
probably because even active people only exercise for a portion of the day. Staying sedentary, on the other
hand, is a 24-hour pursuit, says study author Martin Gram, PhD, of the University of Copenhagen. The good
news? It's never too late to re-start an exercise habit to Get Back in Shape. In the same study, older men gained
fitness almost as easily as those 45 years younger did, Gram points out.
4. Your Muscles Wither
Strength lingers longer than endurance once you stop training. But depending on just how slothful you've
become, your quads and biceps may start to shrink soon after you leave the weight room. Gram's study also
found significant declines in muscle mass after 2 weeks of complete rest. What's more, some muscle fibers
actually convert from fastest-twitch type IIa to more explosive but faster-fatiguing type IIx. This can hamper
your ability to sustain high-intensity efforts, Sims says.
Reverse it: You'll need longer to rebuild your muscle mass than it took you to lose it, but less time than it
would take someone who has never picked up a dumbbell in his life. As for those fast-twitch fibers? About 10
weeks of 3 weekly strength-training sessions increased the total volume of fast-twitch fibers by 22%, as well as
the ratio of type IIa to type IIx, found a recent paper in the journal Human Movement Science.
5. You Plump Up
Within about a week, your muscles lose some of their fat-burning potential and your metabolism slows down,
says Paul Arciero, an exercise science professor at Skidmore College. In findings he published in the Journal of
Strength & Conditioning Research, a 5-week exercise break boosted collegiate swimmers' fat mass by 12%. In
another study, Koundourakis found super-fit, already-ripped pro soccer players gained a percentage point of
body fat after taking 6 weeks off. (Though they didn't report how much less likely they’d be to rip off their
jerseys after scoring a goal.)
Reverse it: Double the length of your break—you may need at least that long to reach the same level of lean.
But if you can manage to squeeze in just one workout a week instead of completely laying off, you'll maintain
some fitness and fast-forward the process of getting your old body back, Arciero says.
6. Your Brain Suffers
Just 2 weeks on the sidelines turned regular exercisers tired and grumpy, found a recent study in the journal
Brain, Behavior, and Immunity. And though human evidence is limited, rat studies presented at a recent Society
for Neuroscience conference suggest animals that stop moving for just a week grow fewer new brain cells and
do worse on maze tests than those who stick to a steady wheel-running routine.
Reverse it: Exercise Can Fight Depression—it produces a near-instant mood lift, even for people who struggle
with the disorder, found recent research in the journal Abnormal Psychology. Plus, regular, moderate movement
helped older adults grow a larger hippocampus—a key brain area for memory—within a year, says Kirk
Erickson, PhD, a University of Pittsburgh researcher. And there's some evidence that the fitter you were before
a break, the swifter your brain gains will be.

Just an FYI, I have be getting a several complaints about Deputies waiting to get in and out of the prison. See below this
was just a few hours ago. I was told that once they clear intake they have to wait to get into sally port and then wait a
few more minutes for sally port door to open. They have to get the attention of whoever is in control center to let them
out. I just don’t want to be late for court if we keep getting delayed In the prison. Let me know your thoughts or if we
should start budgeting more time to get to court. Thanks‐Bryan

Calvary is involved in a similar program called Angel Tree that is put on by Prison Fellowship, but I think it's
might already be too late to get CCCF signed up for that this year.
In that program the parents are able to suggest a gift for their child and the budget per child is $20. We get a list,
and people in the church buy, wrap and deliver the presents on behalf of the incarcerated parent. Happy to
discuss what I know of how that one works with anyone who wants to start it up here at CCCF.

Day Off (Dog Sick)
Dee,
I think I told you how sick the female English Springer Spaniel has been. When she got up this morning she was
barely breathing but her eyes were open.
I think we have to have her put down when the Vet opens. Pretty rough and upsetting to us. I will be in if I can.
Thank you,

Dee,
Please find Attached the Investigative Report regarding CCCF use of the 911 Building. I am
following up with pictures of the area in question. In addition I add two comments as follows:
I had been told on at least 3 occasions that an individual is paid to come to the facility to remove
metal scrap as was numerous maintenance staff as can be verified by this report. Not until you
informed me that the County was being paid for scrap was that ever said to me.
We are trying to get rid of years of waste . This clean-up is to bring all the equipment and tools
secured, inventoried, and under proper control. There are grass catchers from Honda lawn
mowers from several years ago that have never been used, washers and dryers that have been
disassembled for parts, numerous floor scrubbers/buffers that were disassembled for parts, etc.
Basically there is a little bit of everything.
Staff were and continue to be completely trained that we CAN NOT discard of scrap metal until
Mr. Taylor arranges for the removal. Staff were and continue to be completely trained that they
are to turn a report in writing requesting Approval for any and all items having a Centre County
Asset tag which we forward to Dee and Julie Lutz for Approval and Direction on what to do with
each item.
There remains much to do to get this area clean, organized and under control. We are fortunate
that 2 Lieutenants inspected the area recently and found that a hammer was missing. I now
have a Supervisor formally inspecting the Maintenance Area each shift as well as doing spot
checks/inspections of the area and maintenance staff to see that tools have been properly signed
out and that there is Account5ability.
24
NOTE: We are currently using 12.5% of the 48’ x 96’ building or 18’ x 32’ or 576 square feet. You
recommended that we construct our own Maintenance Building to avoid this type of senseless
controversy going forward. I will discuss this issue with the new Board.

Good evening,
I am truly not sure who this email is to be directed to and I thought the easiest way to figure that out is to
include everyone. Thursday Deputy Gordon asked me to sit in with her to speak to the 4 Temporary Part-Time
employees about some things that were miscommunicated from HR to up here that were easy corrections and
the 4 employees needed brought up to speed. Well, after our meeting on Friday at 1, I thought I recalled the
short discussion that the they were no longer temporary, but regular part-time employees since the other 9 were
all promoted. IF I heard correctly, will they be receiving an official letter letting them know that they are no
longer temporary, but are regular part-timer employees now. Also on temporary status their time does not count
towards their Probationary hours. I think with that alone you can see or concern and want for getting this
straightened out if it has not been already. I am sorry that this is not directed to one specific person, but I am not
sure who to properly direct it to if it hasn’t already been taken care of.
Thanks for your time,
Jason

Please check these out and enjoy the outdoors!
Also, Wellth Points can be earned when you complete 3 hikes.
Also, remember to take water with you, a map and a companion. If you decide to go alone, please make sure you let
someone know where you are going and when.
((( MAPS attached)))
(1) Spring Creek Canyon, off the Benner Pike. (It is a 4.4 mile out and back trail. You can turn back to make it a
shorter hike.)
From Bellefonte, approach Rishel Hill Road and the Correctional Facility on your left, and turn right onto Paradise
Road. At the dead end, turn left onto Spring Creek Road. This road dead ends into a parking lot. The trailhead is on
the other side of the parking lot.
(2) Musser Gap, between Pine Grove Mountain and Shingletown, Off Route PA 45. (It is a 4.8 mile trail, out and
back.)
From route US322 (South Atherton Street), you will need to turn right onto route PA45 west near Boalsburg. Once
you are on route PA45 west heading towards Pine Grove Mills, you will want to travel 3.4 miles traveling through the
town of Shingletown. You will notice a dirt road on your left that angles up and away from route PA45. There is also
a wooden Rothrock State Forest sign here. Turn at this road, travel about 200 feet up the hill, and you will find a
large parking area. This is the access area parking for the Musser Gap area and the trailhead for this hike.
A bit more challenging….
1
(3) Mt Nittany, Lemont (2‐ 8 miles depending on the trail you choose)
From the Benner Pike, turn onto Pike Street (site of the old, closed Sheetz store) and head into Lemont. Travel
approx. 0.6 mile and turn left on Mt Nittany Road. Travel 0.7 miles to the trailhead and park in that parking
area. You will see the trailhead from there. Various trails are marked with differing colors.
(4) MidState Trail & hiking the Indian Steps, PineGrove/Petersburg area (4.4 mile loop)
The trailhead for this hike is located along a dirt forest road known as Harry's Valley Road. To reach Harry's Valley
Road from State College, you need to find route PA26. Take route PA26 south through the town of Pine Grove Mills,
turning left at the blinking yellow light to continue on Rt 26 and follow the road up over the mountain. After cresting
Tussey Mountain at Jo Hays Vista, route PA26 descend. ¾ of the way to the bottom, it makes a sweeping left turn. At
this bend in the road you'll see a dirt forest road on your right. This is Harry's Valley Road. Follow Harry's Valley Road
for about 1.9 miles and keep an eye open on the right side of the road for the trail marker to Indian Steps. Just a
short distance past the trail marker is a small parking area on the left. Park your car here as this is the start of the
hike.
I can provide more information on other hiking areas, just ask…
• Lower Trail, Shingletown Gap, off Route PA 45
• John Wert Trail, Rothrock State Forest
• Moss‐Hanne Trail, Black Moshannon State Forest
• Bald Knob Trail, Rothrock State Forest
• Standing stone trail, Greenwood Furnace State Park
• Spruce Gap, Rothrock State Forest

Warden Smith,
Up until now, our licensing board allowed us to provide substance abuse services in the community
and local institutions without receiving any prior approval. They have recently changed their position
on this and are now requiring that we receive written approval from them for each of the locations we
provide services outside our office.
They assure us that we can continue providing services as is but we do need to submit some things
to them to keep it official.
I’m reaching out to you because we provide services at the Centre County Correctional Facility and I
need to request assistance in obtaining some of the information they want us to submit with our
requests.
The items I’ve been asked to obtain for the location include:
1. A copy of detailed floor plans of the facility where treatment services are provided. Plans
should include the location of the room where treatment services are provided, the adjacent
rooms and what they are used for, the locations of the exits, smoke detectors, fire
2
extinguishers and manual pull stations. We do recognize that releasing this type of information
may not be possible due to security issues.
2. Copies of any physical plant inspections and fire drill logs for the past 12 months.
3. A copy of the Certificate of Occupancy from the Department of Labor and Industry.
If there are any of the items above that you do not have or that you aren’t able to release for security
or other reasons, I simply ask for a quick letter indicating such. I can then attach that to my packet.
I apologize for any inconvenience and assure you that we’ll continue providing services in the interim.
Thank you and don’t hesitate to ask me if you have any questions.

Warden Smith,
Up until now, our licensing board allowed us to provide substance abuse services in the community
and local institutions without receiving any prior approval. They have recently changed their position
on this and are now requiring that we receive written approval from them for each of the locations we
provide services outside our office.
They assure us that we can continue providing services as is but we do need to submit some things
to them to keep it official.
I’m reaching out to you because we provide services at the Centre County Correctional Facility and I
need to request assistance in obtaining some of the information they want us to submit with our
requests.
The items I’ve been asked to obtain for the location include:
1. A copy of detailed floor plans of the facility where treatment services are provided. Plans
should include the location of the room where treatment services are provided, the adjacent
rooms and what they are used for, the locations of the exits, smoke detectors, fire
extinguishers and manual pull stations. We do recognize that releasing this type of information

Dining with Angie By Angie Wallace, BS,NC, CGP of Be Well Associates
(used by permission. Adapted)
Snacks
This week I am going to offer some ideas for snacks. Before I begin, I want to address one of my biggest pet peeves
in the nutrition world; snack bars.
Let me clarify, if used sparingly or use in a pinch, a bar can be good snack. However, most bars average anywhere
from 150‐300 calories. They are made from soy, whey, peas, or dates, and often highly processed with very little
nutritional value.
I work with a lot of weight loss clients who will start their day with a Kind bar and then eat 2 more throughout the
day as snacks. This will not get you to your goal.
Personally, I am not a big snacker. But when I do have a snack, here are my favorites:
Beef Jerky (or turkey jerky): I get mine at Trader Joe’s. They have a really good organic one that is gluten free! This
is also available when traveling, so it’s available at most gas stations. I’m not suggesting Slim Jim’s or Jack Links, but
some of the better ones like Krave or Oberto.
Hard‐boiled eggs: This is my go‐to. I love eggs!! I like to pickle my eggs with red beets. I boil my beets for 25‐30
minutes and then peel. The eggs are already boiled and peeled and placed into glass jars. I dice the beets over the
top of the eggs and add 1/4 cup vinegar and water to the cover. I add a sprinkle of stevia for sweetness, lightly shake
the jar to stir, and then place in the fridge for a few days to maximize flavor.
7
Veggies: Good old fashioned fun! Raw veggies make an excellent snack, especially if you aren’t super hungry. Green
and red peppers, carrots, celery, and fennel are a few of my favorites. Sometimes I will dip them in hummus.
Yogurt: Fage Greek 2% is the only brand I will buy. It has little to no sugar and has 20 grams of protein per serving!
Add some fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey.
Trail Mix: You can make your own OR Trader Joe’s has a lot to choose from. I like their Raw Trek Mix. In making your
own, be sure to minimize the amount of dried fruit you add because this can add a lot of sugar to your diet.
Fruit: This one can be tricky because a lot of fruits are high in sugar. A good rule of thumb is to eat your fruit with
some nuts or nutbutter to even out the macronutrients.
Protein Shake: An easy go‐to! Mix with water or some coconut milk in a shaker bottle. Easy and portable!! The key is
to get protein powder that can stand alone without adding anything else to it. I mentioned before that Dr. Axe’s
Chocolate Bone Broth protein is really good! I usually shake it up and let it sit for about 10 minutes before drinking. It
gives it time to blend and dissolve.

Warden,
Plan A:
After looking at the numbers, if we were going to follow through with closing the C‐units, we would need to send back
some of our out of county inmates. With the numbers today, we would be 32 male beds short to accommodate our
population. Please keep in mind, this would not allow us any room for special circumstances, such as, Suicide Watches,
Single Cell Status, and State Inmates.
The plan would be to:
1. Close housing units C1, C2 and C3. (rehousing 56 male inmates and 26 female inmates)
2. Change A3 and A4 Housing Units to Female General Population (rehousing 59 male inmates)
3. Change B2 Housing Unit to Male General Population (rehousing 49 female inmates)
Total Male beds required = 115
Total Female beds required = 75
Housing Unit A1 (40) would remain Male Population Disciplinary Custody and Pre‐Class inmates ‐ Open beds 17
(Unavailable ‐ only for DC and pre‐class)
Housing Unit A2 (38) would remain Male General Population – Open Beds 12
Housing Unit A3 (40) changed to Female General Population Females can be accommodated at this time –
with 4 open beds
Housing Unit A4 (39) changed to Female General Population
10
Housing Unit B1 (56) would remain Male General Population – Open Beds 15
Housing Unit B2 (56) changed to Male General Population – Open Beds 56
Intake, Clothing, Medical, Transport – Open Beds 16 (Unavailable ‐ temporary housing only)
Total Male beds open = 83 – 115 (number of male beds required) = ‐32 beds
Total Female beds open = 79 – 75 (number of females bed required) = 4 open
beds
Plan B:
The plan would be to:
1. Close A3 Housing Unit (rehouse 31 male inmates)
Total Male Beds required = 31
Total Male Beds Open in A2, A4, B1, C1 and C2 = 80
Please let me know if there is anything else you would like me to do.

2016 Fall - Early Registration.doc; 2016 Membership Application gold logo.docx
Dee,
As we discussed, I am requesting that we register early for the Fall Pa Prison Warden’s
Conference. Early registration will save $200.00. It will be held in Hawley (Pike County) on
October 12 -14, 2016. Brenda registration is paid by the Association. Jeff and Melanie will be
$300.00 instead of $400.00. They will need one of our County Vehicles, more than likely the Ford
Expedition.
I am also requesting Approval to send Officer Ty Corl (replacing Andrew Dutrow) and Officer
Mark Waite who needs his certification renewed to travel to GLOCK Armorer school up and back
for 1 day. Training is held at SCI Dallas (2 hours away). The Total Fee for both Officers will be
$500.00 and they will use a Centre County car.
Thank You,

Dear Colleagues,
As discussed at the Spring 2016 Business Meeting, we are pleased to announce an Early Registration Discount
for the Fall 2016 conference. Instead of $ 400 per member, any members submitted registration form and
payment by September 9, 2016 will only be $300 per member. The Early Registration will be open from today
until September 9, 2016.
Additionally discussed this Spring, for our retired members the rate has been kept at $150 per retired
member attending.

The question to ask when buying fish for dinner
Posted By David Schardt
When you walk into a store and say, for example, “I want cod,” you’ll get whatever cod is available,
from wherever, says Barton Seaver.
But if instead you say, “I want whatever seafood is freshest and best fits my budget,” you’ll get a
better piece of fish, because you’re asking for quality, not for a species.
Seaver is director of the Healthy and Sustainable Food Program at the Center for Health and the
Global Environment at the Harvard School of Public Health and serves as Senior Advisor in
Sustainable Seafood Innovations at the University of New England.
“In America, we eat about 16 pounds of seafood per person per year. And about 95 percent of that
comes from only ten species. And three of them—salmon, shrimp, and tuna—account for more than
60 percent of our seafood consumption,” Seaver explains.
Not the only fish in the sea
In American fisheries alone, there are hundreds of available commercial species, yet we eat only ten.
We have the most robust fishery management in the world, but we do not take best advantage of
what the oceans can provide, Seaver contends. [2]
“When a cod net is drawn back into a fishing boat, up with it comes pollock, cusk, ling, whitefish,
dogfish, monkfish, wolffish, you name it. Yet when that fisherman goes back to the dock, only the
cod commands a high price,” he says.
None of those other species are commercially valuable. In fact, many of them are money-losers
because of the ice, the labor, the gas, the space in the hold, and all the expenditures that go into
catching the fish. So it often goes overboard dead.
“We’ve created a system that skews toward waste and skews toward demand, rather than supply,”
Seaver argues.
A better way of cooking
1
“Each of those unfamiliar species is absolutely delicious when treated as it should be,” says Seaver.
But if you cook different types of fish like bluefin tuna and cod the same way, you are not going to
get the same result.
Cooking similar fish like cod and dogfish and wolffish and monkfish and pollock and haddock and
hake and cusk is not all that different, he notes.
“My favorite way to cook those fish is to just turn the oven to 275 degrees, lightly salt and oil the
fillet with olive oil, and throw it in.”
Your fish is going to take 25 minutes to cook. But you’ll get all of that succulent meat, with all of the
moisture and richness in the fish, instead of having it dried out by high heat, Seaver says.
You’ll have fish done to perfection, not scorched under the broiler at 700 degrees. The difference
between undercooked and overcooked at 700 degrees is a scant 30 seconds. The difference in a 275
degree oven is a more forgiving 10 minutes or so.
And you might save money, too.
A fish like cod is king and commands a high price. But if you put cod in the category of “flaky white
fish,” it has a whole host of company, advises Seaver. You can then find the most-available, freshest,
best-priced species of “flaky white fish” and then cook it simply.

Grilled Sweet Potato Fries
1
tfs1951
Save the oil for something else because these Sweet Potatoes get fried on the grill. The only oil you need is
about 1/4 cup to get them crispy. While they grill they get brushed with a salt and lime vinaigrette that adds
all the flavor these need to be great.
Ingredients
6 large sweet potatoes
1/4 cup/60 mL vegetable or olive oil
juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons/30 mL salt (coarse salt works best)
1 tablespoon/15 mL oregano
1 teaspoon/5 mL cumin
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: Serves 8 to 10 as a side dish
Preparation
1. Heat a large pot of water to a boil.
2. While it is heating, cut off the pointy ends of the sweet potatoes. Then cut in half lengthwise and each
half into three or four wedges, depending on the size. Drop the wedges into the boiling water and let cook
for about 5 minutes, while you light the grill.
3.Remove sweet potato wedges from the water and place on a couple of paper towels on a large plate and
allow time to drain, about 5‐6 minutes.
Mix together oil, lime juice salt, oregano, and cumin.
4. Using a large pair of grilling tongs and a folded piece of paper towel, apply several coats of oil onto grill
grates.
5. Immediately start brushing about 1/2 of lime‐oil mixture onto the potatoes, turning them over until they
are all coated in seasoning mixture. Place onto grill and cook for a few minutes. Reduce temperature, or
move to a cooler part of the grill and continue grilling until done. Brush with remaining lime‐oil mixture
during cooking process. Sweet potato fries should be soft through the middle, but firm enough to hold
together.
6. Once cooked, remove from grill and arrange onto a platter. Serve with a dipping sauce or aioli of your
liking. These also go really well as a side dish to grilled fish, chicken, pork, and even hamburgers.

Warden,
As you know, there’s a Heroin and Opioid Coalition Building Technical Assistance Training being held in the community
room on Wednesday, August 17, from 9:00 to 2:00. This will be for 10 – 12 of our coalition members and a team of 15 or
so from Cambria County.
The trainers have made arrangements for Panera to deliver a light breakfast (most likely coffee, tea, juice, scones/Danish)
and lunch (assorted sandwiches/salad) which is being paid for by PCCD.
Is it okay for Panera to deliver the food by coming through the public lobby entrance?

Known as the “Immortal Health Elixir” by the Chinese and originating in the Far East around 2,000 years
ago, kombucha is a beverage with tremendous health benefits.
Kombucha is a fermented beverage of black tea and sugar (from various sources including cane sugar, fruit
or honey) that’s used as a functional food. It contains a colony of bacteria and yeast that are responsible
for initiating the fermentation process once combined with sugar. After being fermented, kombucha
becomes carbonated and contains vinegar, b‐vitamins, enzymes, probiotics and a high concentration of
acid (acetic, gluconic and lactic), which are tied with the following effects:
Improved Digestion
2
Weight Loss
Increased Energy
Cleansing and Detoxification
Immune Support
Reduced Joint Pain
Cancer Prevention
The sugar‐tea solution is fermented by bacteria and yeast commonly known as a “SCOBY” (symbiotic
colony of bacteria and yeast). Although it’s usually made with black tea, kombucha can also be made with
green tea too.
You can make kombucha yourself at home or buy it for $3–$5 a bottle at most health food stores and some
coffee shops.

cloth that allows air to pass through

ora friend has made.
DIRECTIONS
1. Bring your water to boil in a big pot on the stones top. Once boiling. remove from the heat and add your
teabags and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolyes.
2. Allow the pot to sit and the tea to steep for about 15 minutes, then remote and dlscard tea bags
3. Let the cool down to room temperature {which usually takes about one hour}. Once it is cooled,
add your tea mixture to your big jarr'bowl. Drop in your disk and 1 cup of pre?macle kombucha.
4.Coyer yourjarfbowl with your cheese cloth or thin kitchen towel and try to keep the cloth in plate by using
a tie. You want the cloth to cotter the wide opening of thejar and to stay in place. but to allow air to pass
through.

*Note that as the fermentation process happens, you will notice that the SCOBY disk “grows” a second
SCOBY disk. Many people call the SCOBY that you purchased and used to make the kombucha the
“mother” SCOBY and the second SCOBY that grows the “baby.” The mother SCOBY is located on top of
the baby.
You can actually use the newly formed baby SCOBY to create a whole new batch of kombucha, so you
don’t want to throw out the baby disk. Store the baby SCOBY in a bit of already‐made kombucha in a glass
jar while not using it, so you have it on hand to start a new batch when you want it. It will “active” for
several weeks when it’s stored in some kombucha at room temperature on a counter top. While some
people prefer to keep the mother scoby disk attached to the baby, others prefer to throw away the
mother SCOBY once the kombucha is finished fermenting.
It seems to work well both ways and keeping the mother disk hasn’t caused any reported problems or
contamination. According to some sources, the mother disk can keep fermenting new kombucha batches
for about another month after its first use, but then will become inactive and should be thrown away.
Kombucha’s Potential Side Effects
Most people experience great benefits drinking kombucha and have no negative side effects. However,
there are possible interactions and side effect symptoms to be aware of, mostly in populations that
already have weakened immune systems and digestive problems. Side effects seem to be more of a risk
when making homemade kombucha because contamination is possible and the SCOBY disk and finished
products both aren’t tested for quality control, like they are when larger manufacturers produce them. If
you’re going to brew your own, pay careful attention to using sterile equipment, clean working spaces and
high‐quality ingredients.
A small percentage of people have experienced stomach upset, infections and allergic reactions when
drinking kombucha. Because kombucha has a high level of acidity, it’s possible that this can cause
problems for people with digestive problems like stomach ulcers, heartburn, or any sensitivity to very
acidic foods.
It’s a good idea to start with a small amount in moderation and gradually work your way up to drinking
more in order to see if you have any negative reaction to it. Stick to about 8 ounces per day, especially in
the beginning. To limit your risk, buy pre‐made kombucha that’s been tested for bacterial contamination.
Other groups that might want to limit their kombucha consumption include: people with leaky gut
syndrome, those with very poor immune systems and pregnant women.

RE: I love meetings as much as the next guy....
All:
Quarterly is fine. It is nice to be able to know and talk with all of you when we have a problem.
In discussions with Wardens from other Counties, this type of open lines of communication do
not exist. I agree with Judge Kistler that there is excellent communications between all of us. I
do still look forward to a quarterly meeting.
Thank You,

I love meetings as much as the next guy, but in light of the fact that there is such a direct communications link between
Kelly Carozzoni and the staff at CCCF, it seems to make sense to reduce the disruptions in all of our schedules, and to
meet only when a special need arises, and on a QUARTERLY basis. If this is OK, with all of you, we will cancel our
September and October meetings, and we will carry on starting in November, and go forward QUARTERLY thereafter.
Any objections? Any sighs of relief???

Yesterday, I had looked in the book to take 4 hours of personal time for the end of my shift on Friday. This morning I was
denied due to Hampton already being the last person off, but it was not in the book till this morning. I was wondering if
you would let me take off the time.
Thank you.

There was a set of the larger handcuffs found out in intake Monday night on 11‐7 shift. Intake said that
they had a full inventory of their cuffs and also that the transport bags had the correct amount of cuffs
as well. I myself checked the SMU and they were not missing any cuffs. I put them in the CERT closet so
if anybody knows where they belong and they aren’t supposed to be in the CERT closet, that’s where
they are located.

Seven reasons to be good to your kidneys
Posted By David Schardt
Kidney disease is the 9th leading cause of death among all Americans and the 7th leading cause among
adults 65 to 74 years of age.
That’s one important reason to take good care of your kidneys. Here are seven more.
7
(1) The kidneys keep blood pressure from getting too
low.
If blood pressure starts to drop, the kidneys will try to raise it. In the short term, raising blood pressure is a
good thing, because if it’s too low, oxygen can’t reach the brain. But in the long term, high pressure can
damage the kidney’s blood vessels.
(2) Kidneys maintain our watery internal environment.
If you drank a lot of water and your kidneys didn’t remove it from the blood, you would basically drown in
fluid.
(3) Kidneys help protect us against anemia.
They produce a hormone called erythropoietin that leads to the production of red blood cells.
(4) Kidneys help protect our bones.
The kidneys have an enzyme that activates vitamin D. When you consume vitamin D or it’s made in the
skin, it goes to the liver and then to the kidney, where it becomes the active form. The active form is
important for absorbing calcium in the intestines, which helps to maintain bone health.
(5) The kidneys remove toxins and other waste products.
The kidneys’ job to get rid of almost anything that you ingest that gets absorbed into the bloodstream and
that the body doesn’t need—say, extra salt, calcium, or phosphorus. Maintaining that balance is critical.
Gets rid of urea, uric acid, toxins, and other wastes via urine.
(6) Kidneys maintain our acid‐base balance.
They make sure that the body isn’t too acidic or two alkaline
(7) Kidneys protect our hearts.
They maintain a balance of electrolytes (like potassium, sodium, and calcium), which is critical for heart
rhythm.
What can harm the kidneys?
High blood pressure. It damages the small blood vessels of the kidney, which then damages the
glomerulus—the basic filtering unit of the kidney. Each kidney can have up to a million glomeruli. Kidneys
8
filter about 200 quarts of blood a day. So they are filled with blood vessels, and anything that impairs the
blood flow through the kidney reduces the kidney’s ability to clean the blood.
Diabetes. It damages not only the small blood vessels in the glomerulus, but also something called the
mesangium, which helps support the glomerulus.
Obesity. Obesity raises blood pressure and the risk of diabetes. Also, as people gain weight, the kidneys
have to work harder.
You can imagine that the amount of waste products that need to get removed is far greater for a 250‐
pound person than for a 150‐pound person, especially after we eat a large meal. So the kidney has to
adapt. As people gain weight, the kidney can’t make more glomeruli, so the existing ones may start to
enlarge and the kidney may start to filter blood at a greater rate, which puts an additional demand on the
kidney. That may lead to damage and the eventual loss of some glomeruli. So the remaining glomeruli have
to work that much harder, which leads to more lost glomeruli. It’s a vicious cycle.
Excess salt. It can raise blood pressure, and it’s possible that excess sodium itself may be harmful.
Too much protein? “I wouldn’t want someone who already has kidney disease on a diet that’s very high in
animal protein,” says Harvard kidney expert Gary Curhan. “But there’s still disagreement about whether
high‐protein diets raise the risk of developing kidney disease. In moderate amounts, it’s probably not
harmful. I’d rather that people stop smoking, do more exercise, lose weight, and eat a healthy diet than
worry only about how much protein they eat.”
Toxins in the environment. Lead, mercury, cadmium.
Certain drugs. Excessive, long‐term use of over‐the‐counter analgesics like acetaminophen and ibuprofen
can also increase the risk of chronic kidney disease, possibly by raising blood pressure and/or by damaging
the kidney directly. Studies about aspirin have been inconsistent. If you take those analgesics on a regular
basis, ask your healthcare provider about alternatives. Just because these drugs are available over the
counter doesn’t mean they’re safe.

if we are able to figure it out by email that's great too.

Hello Everyone,

I know it's only May, and I'm not sure who all should be included in this question, but I am already starting to
plan what Christmas might look like in the jail again this year.
I wanted to start by asking if Calvary would be allowed to do presents for every inmate similar to what we did
in 2015? And if so could we come up with a plan soon for what would be approved this year. I have a few ideas,
but don't want to pursue donations or fundraising for the gifts until they've been approved.
Thanks so much!

RE: Prime Care Contract
John,
I would like it both ways if I understood you correctly. Bottom line is a copy of all Invoices
they billed Clinton County for in 2015 would be best. As I can see your current contract ends
December 31, 2016 so the timing is perfect for an in depth look at what is going on.
The way your contract is written PrimeCare has NO RISK! I am sure we can do better.

Wed or Thurs is fine. When you ask for the contract overages that exceeded the $50,000 annual CAP on medical
expenses are you talking about the amount over the CAP or the actual charges assigned to the CAP?

I don’t know if this was forwarded to Dee. I think it was not. This is a Custody Case that made it
to the Superior Court of PA. Should we answer or wait for a Court Order? For the record we
believe the inmate wrote the wrong phone number so there actually are no records that we have
to be given. We have had since the 29’th and need to respond ASAP.

Facts About Your Digestive System
Like most things related to our bodies, we only pay attention to our digestive system when it's giving us a
problem. Otherwise, we tend to overlook it and put all sorts of things into it without a second thought.
Although we learn about the process of digestion in high school, most of us had other things on our minds
back then. But knowing how your digestive system is supposed to work can help tremendously in terms of
overall digestive health ‐ knowledge which can help you take better care of your digestive system, more
quickly identify any possible digestive problems, and help you to communicate more effectively with your
doctor.
(1) The length of your entire digestive system is approximately 30 feet long.
1
Your digestive system is responsible for breaking down the foods you eat so that you can absorb vital
nutrients. Food is broken down mechanically ‐ through chewing, for example, and through the use of
enzymes ‐ into the form of molecules that can be absorbed by and moved through your blood. Your
digestive system is made up of the following organs:
Mouth
Esophagus
Stomach
Liver
Gallbladder
Biliary Tract
Small Intestine
Large Intestine
(2) Our mouths secrete approximately one liter of saliva a day.
Saliva production through our salivary glands is the first step in digestion. Saliva is predominantly made up
of water, but does contain other substances, and can be stimulated by just thinking about or smelling
food. Food breakdown begins in our mouths through the process of chewing, and through enzymes
present in saliva. Saliva both lubricates food for easy passage into the esophagus, and coats the food to
protect our teeth and the lining of our mouth and esophagus.
(3) It takes anywhere from two to five seconds for food to make its way down your esophagus into your
stomach.
After we've chewed our food, it's formed into something called a bolus. Swallowing is a complex
procedure in which the bolus is moved into the pharynx, the larynx (the organ connected to our windpipe)
is covered, and the esophagus opening is widened to accept the bolus. The bolus is then moved down
through the esophagus through coordinated muscle movements known as peristalsis.
The esophagus is bound on each end by a sphincter muscle, which is responsible for opening to allow the
bolus to pass through. Heartburn can occur when the lower sphincter fails to close completely, allowing
stomach acid to travel upward and irritate the tissue in the esophagus and throat.
(4) Your stomach produces hydrochloric acid (the same stuff that masons use to clean bricks.)
Luckily, our stomachs are lined by a thick layer of mucus to protect us from the acid and the enzyme pepsin
that it produces. The mixing motion of the stomach, along with the acid and the breakdown of protein by
the pepsin, turns the bolus into a liquid substance called chyme, which in turn is then slowly released into
the small intestine. For a full meal, this process takes approximately two to three hours.
2
Only a few things are absorbed into the bloodstream at the level of the stomach, and interestingly, these
are the very things that can cause stomach irritation: alcohol, aspirin and non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs).
(5)Your pancreas and liver are not so mysterious...
Gallbladder in green, liver in maroon, pancreas in tan.
...the primary role of each is to produce substances that break down the foods you eat.
As the chyme makes its way into your small intestine, it's met with juices produced by the liver and the
pancreas. The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and then released into the small
intestine to break down fats, while the pancreas secretes enzymes into the small intestine that break
down protein, carbohydrates and fats. The pancreas also releases a substance called bicarbonate that
neutralizes any acid that's made its way out of the stomach.
(6) Your small intestine is responsible for almost all of the absorption of nutrients from the foods we eat.
The small intestine is where the most important work of digestion takes place, that of further breaking
down the food we eat into molecular components that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. You may
remember from high school biology that the small intestine has three parts: the duodenum, the jejunum
and the ileum. Bile from the gallbladder, and digestive enzymes from the pancreas, are mixed into the
chyme in the duodenum. The final breakdown and absorption of nutrients occurs in the second two parts.
Absorption of nutrients is conducted by microscopic projections along the lining of the small intestine
called villi. Celiac disease is a disorder in which the ingestion of gluten results in damage to the villi, which
in turn can lead to health problems stemming from the lack of absorption of vital nutrients.
(7) Fiber is what's left over when all the other parts of food have been digested.
Once the small intestine has completed its breakdown of food and absorption of nutrients, it propels the
undigested parts of plant food, known as fiber, into the large intestine. Fiber is classified into two general
types: soluble, which dissolves in water, and insoluble, which does not. Fiber both softens and bulks up the
stool, and is essential for both digestive and overall health.
(8)Your large intestine receives about one quart of liquid a day from the small intestine.
In addition to fiber, the small intestine propels liquid into your large intestine, where it's absorbed and
stools are formed. The large intestine is made up of the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the
descending colon, the sigmoid colon, and the rectum. Although there's great variation in frequency, the
stool is in general moved once or twice a day into the rectum in preparation for a bowel movement.
(9)Your GI system plays host to more than 500 species of bacteria.
3
We are not born with any bacteria in our digestive systems, but develop a significant population within the
first month, most of which can be found in our large intestine. Recognition of the role that bacteria play in
digestive health has stimulated booming sales of products containing probiotics, often labeled as "friendly
bacteria." Bacteria fight off disease‐carrying organisms, play a role in absorbing nutrients that slip past the
small intestine through fermentation, and help to support our immune systems. You're most acutely
aware of the work of bacteria when its process of fermentation causes you to experience intestinal gas.
Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a health condition in which too many bacteria are present in
the small intestine. SIBO has been theorized as a possible factor in the development of IBS for some
individuals.

insurance agents, we help Counties like yourself find the best solutions for your Property and Casualty
Insurance needs. Being the Sheriff I wanted to introduce a product that we can offer. I know several Counties
work directly with ACCO, but if you are interested in the below product please have a local agent of your liking
contact me. I appreciate your consideration and hope to be of service in the future.
Apex has a program to protect a County’s budget against costly and catastrophic Inmate Medical Expenses. It
is not health insurance, but a reimbursement policy with a limit and deductible per inmate. Coverage is with
an “A” rated admitted insurance company.
This policy is very low maintenance. Once bound, the Company deals directly with the County to reimburse
covered inmate medical expenses paid to local providers including, physicians, hospitals and clinics. I have
researched this huge governmental expenditure and a single county jail can incur millions of dollars for inmate
healthcare. A County in Pennsylvania paid over $7,000,000 in 2015 and a County in Florida has spent
$5,000,000 year to date.
According to an online government procurement website, this risk paid AMOUNT for inmate
medical expenses.
If you would like an indication with a cost benefit analysis, please send me 1 to 3 years of the County’s annual
medical expense per inmate and I will determine if it makes sense to insure this exposure. The savings could
be very significant.
Thanks!

Having A Bad Day? Here Are 7 Things You Definitely Shouldn't Do
by Shannon Kaiser
We all have bad days, bad weeks, or even bad months—times it feels like we're trapped by circumstances.
It can be hard to find your way out of a bad mood.
10
Most advice will focus on what you should do to feel better. We know thinking positively and being
compassionate with ourselves can help. But no one really talks about what you shouldn’t do.
Recently, I experienced a funk that pulled me down hard. I tried to reach for my bag of happiness tricks,
things like “think good thoughts,” “do what you love,” “call a friend,” but none of it helped. So instead, I
focused on what I was doing that might be making things worse and stopped doing those things. Pretty
soon, my mood improved. So, if you're feeling down and those old standbys just aren't cutting it, start
thinking about what you might need to stop doing.
1. Feeling bad for feeling bad.
Trying to be happy all the time shouldn’t be our goal. It's impossible! The idea that we aren't supposed to
feel our full range of emotions often keeps us stuck. Instead of thinking you're in bad shape because
you're angry, sad, depressed, or frustrated, simply allow yourself to be present with your emotions and let
them move through you. In doing this, you can release them and make room for peace.
2. Focusing on the problem, not the solution.
It may feel good to share your troubles, but complaining over and over about the same issue not only
affects your friends’ well‐being—it can actually hurt you. Instead of complaining, just identify steps you
can take to pull yourself into a more balanced state.
3. Eating your feelings.
It may feel good for a moment, but as soon as you're done eating your comfort food, guilt and shame set
in. In a study, college‐age women who were concerned about their eating behaviors reported that their
moods were actually worse after bouts of disordered eating.
Next time you're tempted to reach for the mac and cheese or ice cream, remind yourself that this will
probably exacerbate your bad mood and opt for healthier foods. Choose snacks that make you feel
healthier from the inside out. My go‐to items are smoothies and kale chips.
4. Stewing in entitlement.
Everyone has bad days, but feeling like the world owes you something is an easy way to find yourself in a
bad mood. Instead of feeling like a victim, be grateful for what is working in your life. Appreciation can go
a long way.
5. Avoiding fresh air.
Getting outside will boost your mood instantly. Instead of hibernating indoors with Netflix, get out and
enjoy the outdoors. Sunlight is nature's antidepressant, after all.
6. Staying in your head.
When we're in a rough mood, we tend to focus on what isn’t going well. We replay negative situations and
outcomes. Instead of wallowing in self‐pity or overanalyzing past drama, start living. Do activities that
bring you joy: coloring, cooking, reading a good book, or doing yoga.
7. Not moving at all. Ever.
Even if it feels like the least appealing thing in the world, five minutes with an elevated heart rate will
boost your mood for hours thereafter. Take a new exercise class or find a buddy to take a walk/jog through
the park with you. Moving your body will help you feel more balanced, in control, and ready to bounce
back from a "blah" mood.

Dee,
This is the PRIDE and CHOICES Power Point. Gene is Off on Vacation Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday this week. As we discussed we are going to further “TWEEK/IMPROVE” the
Attached Power Point which I will bring to the 2:30 PM Meeting tomorrow. I will include the
additional funding and programing that was arranged by the BOC through Tom McDermott and
MHID. The Judges are ordering participation in PRIDE, CHOICES and the new CROSROADS
PROGRAMS. I just want to emphasize that CROSSROADS is a properly licensed Alcohol and
Drug provider. We can, of course also use them for the DRUG Court if it is Approved.

I am requesting that all internal candidates for the Deputy Warden for Administration position at
CCCF do a “DRAFT” writing Directive for a new system to reimburse Corrections Officers for meals
while on medical transports. There currently is no Directive or Policy that addresses this issue. It is
discussed in Article 5.14 in the Centre County / S.E.I.U. Contract that is attached. I have Attached a
CCCF Letterhead for you to use.
Internal candidates for the Deputy Warden for Administration are voluntarily asked to create a
“DRAFT” Directive on Meals and Reimbursement On A Transport or Community Hospital assignment
which covers the following points:
The pertinent sections of the Union contract (Attached) shall be considered in this Directive.
Officers MUST request to their Supervisor /Lieutenant $15.00 in cash or a bag lunch from
Food Services or no meal or reimbursement shall be provided. If
Petty Cash is provided receipts shall be submitted . All monies not covered by receipts up to
the amount of Petty Cash received shall be returned when receipts
are submitted. An Example is that Petty Cash only has $20.00 bills and $20.00 is given.
Receipts submitted are for $12.00. Eight (8) dollars shall be included when receipts are
submitted.
Officers on these details having Money, Debit Card, or Credit are welcome as always to submit
receipts and shall be reimbursed up to $15.00. If only $9.00
in receipts are submitted they will be reimbursed for $9.00. If receipts are submitted for
$19.80 they will be reimbursed for $15.00 only.
A total of $60.00 shall be kept in Petty Cash in the Shift Commander’s Office. A separate key
shall be placed in the electronic key cabinet. Only Shift Commanders, the two (2) Deputy
Wardens and Director of Treatment shall be given access to the key. The key shall be returned
to the cabinet As Soon As Possible after drawn from the key cabinet.
In addition please create a simple form to be used as a proper Petty Cash receipt.
Feel free to separately outline pros and cons of this Directive. Remember this is a DRAFT not the
Final Directive. If you can think of a better more concise, professional look for Directives please feel
free. I do not especially like our current format.

PRIDE/Choices - Moving Forward Power Point for Prison Board Meeting.

Dee,
This is the PRIDE and CHOICES Power Point. Gene is Off on Vacation Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday this week. As we discussed we are going to further “TWEEK/IMPROVE” the
Attached Power Point which I will bring to the 2:30 PM Meeting tomorrow. I will include the
additional funding and programing that was arranged by the BOC through Tom McDermott and
MHID. The Judges are ordering participation in PRIDE, CHOICES and the new CROSROADS
PROGRAMS. I just want to emphasize that CROSSROADS is a properly licensed Alcohol and
Drug provider. We can, of course also use them for the DRUG Court if it is Approved.

RE: July 2016 Board of Prison Inspectors July Monthly Meeting Agenda
Dee,
I immediately met with Gene concerning this entire issue as soon as you asked me to do so. Gene
knows that we just added changes to the PRIDE and CHOICES curriculum. You can see these
changes in the Attached Power Point. We have been working with Penn State and have two (2)
program specialists that have been scheduled to come in October 2016 to shadow Caitlynn Neff
and Danielle Minarchick .
The result of the Shadowing and Curriculum Review will be a recommendation to make changes
to the curriculum or to totally change the programs entirely. Any and all recommendations shall
be reviewed by the Prison Board and Approved or Disapproved. I don’t know what else to say. I
can certainly be involved in the Power Point and Discussion. Pl
Please let me know how you want this handled?

Number 4 remove the word Prison
Also I talked to you on Wednesday about the Choice and Pride programs. Questions came up about who created
these programs and what are the statistics of how successful these programs are. I asked that you talk to Gene.
Also that with the current ipiod issues the BOC and the Judges wanted to know what other programs we can
offer.
You need to add that to the agenda if you and Gene are ready to discuss.
Thanks

RE: 2 hour notice without reason
Judy Miller:
I always tell the Union in advance everything I possibly can. I checked on this issue before this
investigation began and was told there was no obligation, contractual or otherwise to give the
Union the issue being investigated in advance. I needed to handle these interviews the way I did
because prior notification would have potentially interfered with the answers given.

Good afternoon Rick,
It seems two days in a row our members were given a two hour notice for a meeting but when they asked what
it was about, the Lt. told them he did not have to tell them. Please correct this issue.
Thank you.

Dear. Ms. Miknis,
My name is Jason Crane. I'm the host of The Morning Mixtape on 98.7 The FREQ. I'd like to invite one or more
of our county judges to appear as a guest on our new weekly political segment, which runs Wednesdays at 8
AM. Ideally, we'd do this live, but it could also be recorded. I recently had Centre County Commissioner Mark
Higgins on the show. Here's that interview:
http://987thefreq.com/the-morning-mixtape-county-commissioner-mark-higgins/
If one or more judges is interested in doing it, let me know and I'll send some open dates.
Thank you,
Jason

Mr. Krauss,
Please find Attached the interview schedule for staff at the Centre County Correctional Facility.
If changes are needed please let me know as soon as feasible and we will work something else
out.
Thank You,

Warden,
With the names/times you provided me last evening, I recommend the following interview times for Mr. Krauss:
Tuesday 7/12
CO Hook – 6am
Lt. Mendez – Immediately following CO Hook
CO Buckley – 1pm
CO Hampton – immediately following CO Buckley
Lt. Millinder – 3pm
Lt. Allen – Immediately following Lt. Millinder
Wednesday 7/13
Deputy Warden Gordon – 9am
Lt. Woods – Immediately following DW Gordon
Lt. Jeirles – 3pm
CO Shawver – immediately following Lt. Jeirles
Lt. Fisher – immediately following CO Shawver
1
CO Hook and Lieutenants Mendez and Allen are the most difficult to catch due to being 11‐7 shift standardly. Tuesday
7/12 we have a training day where schedules will have them in at times closer to business hours, which is why I
recommended them there.
Everyone else is recommended where we have two Lt coverage so the shift is covered while one is tied up, and officers
so that CO meals are completed and reliefs are available to relieve them.

Dee,
I have been involved in figuring this out. I feel it is a good plan. I need your Approval to proceed.
Thank You,

Warden,
We were originally hoping to use Cambria County for the basic training academy with our new officers this
year. Cambria has changed their plans, and isn’t being as we would want.
I contacted the main academy at Elizabethtown. They will be running academies beginning 8/22, 10/10, and 11/21 (I’m
sure with a modified schedule around Thanksgiving). The fee is still $800 per person for the 4 weeks, with lodging
guaranteed. The coordinator who handles registration said if we register early, she doesn’t see an issue accepting us for
4, 3, and 3 per class for these 10.
We would need to work out whether we’re providing them a county vehicle to go back and forth, or letting them get
reimbursed for mileage. Otherwise, meals and lodging are in the fee.
We would do Firearms and TASER here, since we use different handguns and they don’t do TASER at all.
I think this is our best option right now. Other County academies are further away, and with lodging costs at a hotel
would probably cost more overall to utilize. I would like to get our thoughts together early next week when the new
COs are here (I need to get military orders for the rest of the year from the one), and send in registrations as outlined
above to know we’re set for academies.

Centre County, PA—With spring in the air, Centre County and the League of
American Bicyclists, the National Organization of Bicyclists, announced that
May was National Bike Month, May 16th to the 20th was Bike to Work Week
and Friday, May 20th was Bike to Work Day. The Centre County Commissioners urged everyone to bike to work or try cycling for fun, fitness or transportation. To celebrate Bike to Work Week, President Judge Thomas Kistler and
Vice Chair of the Centre County Commissioners, Mark Higgins biked from
State College to the Courthouse in Bellefonte on Tuesday, May 17th. This is a
distance of about 14 miles through the beautiful countryside between State
College and Bellefonte. They arrived at the Courthouse around 7:30AM.
The Judge and the Commissioner both said, “Biking to work is an efficient and
fun way to get the exercise you need, without having to find extra time to work
out. And this year, with gasoline prices rising again, biking to work makes
more sense than ever.” For more information visit www.centrecountypa.gov.
Following are some tips that will help you enjoy biking to work more.
Have your bike checked over by your local bike shop.
Always wear a helmet to protect your head in the event of a crash.
Ride in the right-most lane that goes in the direction that you are traveling.
Obey all stop signs, traffic lights and lane markings.
Look before you change lanes or signal a turn; indicate your intention, then
act.
Be visible and predictable at all times; wear bright clothing and signal turns.

The following employees were recognized for their exemplary service during the past
year:
7-3 OFFICER OF THE YEAR: OFFICER KEVIN MCCOOL
3-11 OFFICER OF THE YEAR: OFFICER KELLY EVANS
11-7 OFFICER OF THE YEAR: OFFICER BRIAN BEALS
These staff members were Honored at the May 12, 2016 Prison Board Meeting.
An inspection regarding compliance with PA Title 37 was held by the Pennsylvania
Department of Corrections on March 15, 2016. Our Facility achieved 100% compliance
on the inspection. This level of compliance was achieved with all staff working together
as a TEAM. We regularly receive comments from the public that the facility is immaculately clean and has the appearance of a facility that only recently opened. In fact, the
facility opened in 2005. Our Staff consistently dress and act in a professional manner.
The Staff are caring and concerned about the safety of the public, safety and well being
of both the staff and inmates.
Prior to Warden Smith’s assignment to the Centre County Correctional Facility he was
approached by four men that had been incarcerated at CCCF. They stated that they
were embarrassed to admit that they had been incarcerated in several correctional
facilities in their life, but stated that the only place they were ever incarcerated where
they felt safe was in the Centre County Correctional Facility. As a Corrections Professional that was the ultimate compliment that facility staff can receive. This means that
our staff operate the facility in a caring, fair and humane manner having complete
control of the facility.

2016 National Corrections Officer’s Week May 1—May 7
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 5187 creating “National Corrections Officers’
Week.” The first full week in May has since been recognized as National Correctional Officers’ Week to
honor the work of correctional officers and correctional personnel nationwide.
In 1996, Congress officially changed the name of the week to National Correctional Officers and Employees Week. The names of 585 correctional officers are engraved on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. These courageous heroes are forever remembered, and their light continues to shine
through their memory, and through the selfless men and women who continue to serve each day.
Proclamation 5187 - National Correctional Officers Week, 1984
May 5, 1984
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Correctional officers have the difficult and often dangerous assignment of ensuring the custody, safety and well-being of the over 600,000 inmates in our Nation's prisons and jails. Their position is essential to the day-to-day operations of these institutions; without them it would be impossible to
achieve the foremost institutional goals of security and control.
Historically, correctional officers have been viewed as "guards," occupying isolated and misunderstood positions in prisons and jails. In recent years, the duties of these officers have become increasingly complex and demanding. They are called upon to fill, simultaneously, custodial, supervisory and
counseling roles. The professionalism, dedication and courage exhibited by these officers throughout
the performance of these demanding and often conflicting roles deserve our utmost respect. The important work of correctional Officers often does not receive the recognition from the public it deserves. It is appropriate that we honor the many contributions and accomplishments of these men
and women who are a vital component of the field of corrections.
In recognition of the contributions of correctional officers to our Nation, the Congress, by Senate
Joint Resolution 132, has designated the week beginning May 6, 1984, as "National Correctional Officers Week," and authorized and requested the President to issue an appropriate proclamation.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the
week beginning May 6, 1984, as National Correctional Officers Week. I call upon officials of State and
local governments and the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.

Organization offering hope
in opiate, heroin epidemic
There is an opiate and
heroin epidemic sweeping
our nation, and it is directly
affecting our local commu-
nity by taking lives and
devastating families.
In September 2015, the
Centre County Criminal
Justice Advisory Board, a
board that has been in-
strumental in developing,
expanding and implement-
ing a variety of successful
programs and initiatives
within Centre County,
created a drug overdose
subcommittee.
They were tasked with
examining drug overdoses
and overdose-related
deaths occurring within the
county and to determine
what steps should be taken.
According to the Centre
County Coroner?s Of?ce,
there were 16 overdose-
related deaths in 2014, 15
deaths in 2015 and already
in 2016, there have been 12
overdose deaths.
In each of these deaths,
it was determined that
COMMUNITIES
either heroin or multiple
drugs were used. Many
non-fatal overdoses occur
but are not always record-
ed. Given this alarming
information, the subcom-
mittee quickly realized that
something needs to be
done to bring awareness to
the community and work to
reduce the number of over-
doses and overdose-related
deaths in Centre County.
At the beginning of 2016,
the subcommittee began to
meet more frequently and
representatives from addi-
tional entities were in-
cluded in those meetings.
By May 2016, the sub-
committee evolved and the
Centre County Heroin,
Opiod, Prevention, Educa-
tion Initiative was formal-
ized. This group includes
the Board of Commission-
ers, the coroner and repre-
sentatives from the Centre
County CIAB, Dnig and
Alcohol Of?ce, Criminal
Justice Planning Depart-
ment, law enforcement,
Mount Nittany Medical
Center, District Anomcy?s
Office, Probation Depart.
ment, county EMS/first
responders, Centre County
Correctional Facility, Youth
Service Bureau and Chil-
dren and Youth Services.
vision is to col-
laboratively work to elim-
inate substance abuse,
including the unsettling
rise in opiate drug use and
overdoses. They plan to
achieve this goal through
dedicated outreach, effec-
tive education, raising
awareness and offering
support and treatment
options to all members of
our community.
This year, the Ferguson
Township, Patton Town-
ship and State College
police departments began
carrying Naloxone,an
opioid overdose anecdote.
One of many initiatives
HOPE is working on is to
bring awareness to the
community about the Good
Samaritan Law, a law that
permits certain criminal
and civil protections for
those who reach out to the
authorities for help in an
overdose emergency. For
the law to apply, the person
witnessing an overdose
must call 911, remain on
scene and cooperate with
authorities. Individuals are
encouraged not to run but
to stay and call for help in
order to save a life.
HOPE has scheduled a
town hall meeting for 7-9
pm. July 26 in the Mount
Nittany Medical Center
auditorium to begin to
raise awareness and in-
volve the community in
?ghting the opiate and
heroin epidemic. Members
of the community are
strongly urged to attend
the meeting to provide
their perspective on the
issue and learn more about
what they can do to be-
come involved. Together,
we can work toward erad-
icating drug overdoses and
overdose deatln in our
community.

PREA AUDIT REPORT 6/14/2016
PREA Compliance Manager: Jeffrey T. Hite
AUDIT FINDINGS (NARRATIVE) (Auditor: Patrick Zirpoli)
The first Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) audit of the Centre County Correctional Facility took place on June 8,
2016 and June 9, 2016. The purpose of the audit was to determine compliance with the Prison Rape Elimination
Act standards which became effective August 20, 2012. Prior to the on-site portion of the audit I reviewed all
policies and data pertaining to the PREA Standards. The facility was posted on March 1, 2016, allowing time for
inmates to respond to me in writing, no inmates responded. I mailed a flash drive to the facility on March 1,
2016, this was returned to me on May 16, 2016, allowing ample time to review all policies and procedures prior
to the onsite audit. All documentation requested by me was provided in a timely and efficient manner, any follow up requests were acted upon immediately.
I wish to extend my appreciation to Warden Richard C. Smith and all of the staff for their professionalism they
demonstrated throughout the audit and their willingness to comply with all request and recommendations
made. I would also like to thank Centre County Correctional Facility Prison Board for their commitment to the
operations of the Centre County Correctional Facility, and their dedication to the safety of the staff, as well as
their dedication to the care, custody and control of the inmates incarcerated at the facility.
I need to recognize Director of Treatment/PREA Coordinator Jeffrey T. Hite, and Lieutenant Jonathan Millinder. It
is through their dedication and overall work ethic that Centre County Correctional Facility performed exceptionally well during the PREA Audit. They worked with me tirelessly through the audit process, and fulfilled any request I made. I would like to also recognize the Treatment staff for their assistance in preparation for the PREA
Audit, and organizing all of the requested material for review.
The administration of the facility, more specifically the Lieutenant’s, need to be recognized for their overall dedication to the operations of the facility, and their availability to the inmates. During the inmate interviews every
interviewee expressed the accessibility of the administration, and especially the Lieutenant’s. Every interviewee
told me that they are constantly touring the housing units and are available for questions and always take the
time to assist if an inmate is having a problem. Furthermore the inmates related that they would check on them
the next time they were making rounds through the block.
Prior to the onsite audit I had several opportunities to discuss the audit process, and expectations of the facility
with Director of Treatment/PREA Coordinator Jeffrey T. Hite.
Upon my arrival on June 8, 2016 I met with Warden Richard C. Smith., Deputy Warden Melanie Gordon, Director
of Treatment/PREA Coordinator Jeffrey T. Hite, Lieutenant Jonathan Millinder, and Krista Davis, Centre County
Risk Management Coordinator. We discussed the audit process and the schedule for the next two days, it was at
this time that I requested a copy of the current inmate population and staff schedules for the next four shifts.

Centre County Government
A NOTE FROM:
PRISON
After the entrance meeting I was given a tour of all areas of the facility. During this tour informal interviews
were conducted with both staff and inmates in several different areas. I viewed the complete facility, all areas
were accessible to me during the audit tour.
During the interview portion of the audit twenty one formal staff interviews were conducted, as well as in depth
discussions with other staff available during the tour. Included in the interviews were the Warden, Deputy Warden, PREA Coordinator, Medical Staff, Shift Supervisors, Counselors, Kitchen Staff, Volunteers, and First Line Staff.
The staffs interviewed were randomly selected by obtaining a copy of all staff working during the audit, I then
selected random staff from different areas within the facility, as well as all three shifts.
Also during the interview portion twenty inmates at the facility were interviewed. I selected the inmates by randomly selecting them from the current population sheet, the inmates were selected from all housing units. The
selected inmates included those who have identified as gay or bisexual, inmates identified as high risk for sexual
victimization, and inmates who reported sexual harassment.
All of the interviews were conducted in a very efficient manner; this was accomplished by the efforts of all staff
of the Centre County Correctional Facility, but more specifically Treatment/PREA Coordinator Jeffrey T. Hite, Lieutenant Jonathan Millinder.
The facility was prepared for the onsite audit and performed extremely well. Looking at the overall performance
of the facility I was impressed with not only the facilities operations but the overall agencies operations and response to incidents of sexual abuse or sexual harassment. The seriousness of incidents of this nature are not
overlooked by both staff and inmates alike. The interactions with the staff were positive and all were extremely
helpful in making the audit process run as seamless as possible.
I utilized an overall methodology to make my determination of compliance with the standards. This included a
complete review of all policies and documentation provided to me prior to the onsite audit. The documentation
was then corroborated through visual inspection of the facility, as well as interviews with staff and inmates. I
was able to determine that the facility has the policies in place to address all standards, and has put these policies into daily practice. In the standard-by-standard discussion I have specifically identified the policies and documentation utilized during this process, these policies and documentation are listed verbatim in italic type. I have
also listed any visual evidence, as well as interviews that aided.
Centre County Correctional Facility has exceeded in 4 standards, met 38 standards, and 1 standard is not applicable to the facility. This determination was made after reviewing all materials provided during the pre-audit, the
interviews and facility tour conducted during the audit, and the final review of all findings.
Number of standards not met = 0

TOWN HALL MEETING: The Heroin and Opioid Crisis in
Centre County on Tuesday, July 26, 2016, at the Galen and
Nancy Dreibelbis Auditorium of the Mount Nittany Medical
Center from 7:00 to 9:00 PM.
The Centre County HOPE (Heroin and Opioid Prevention and Education)
Initiative is a coalition compromised of local representatives from County
government, the courts, law enforcement, the medical profession, the treatment field, and a variety of community organizations that are concerned about
the heroin and opioid/prescription drug epidemic currently sweeping across
the nation and the Commonwealth. The mission of Centre County Hope
Initiative is to bring various community agencies together to work collaboratively with community members to eliminate substance abuse, including the
unsettling rise in opiate drug use, overdoses, and overdose deaths.
In recent years drug overdose deaths have surpassed the number of motor
vehicle accident deaths, and are now the leading cause of accidental death
across the United States. The Centers for Disease Control reported there were
47,055 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2014, and 2,489 of those
deaths occurred in Pennsylvania. That means in 2014, nearly 7 people died
each day of a drug overdose in Pennsylvania. Centre County has not escaped
this epidemic. According to the Centre County Coroner, 15 people died as a
result of drug overdoses in 2015, and 12 people have died of overdoses during
the first six months of 2016.
In Pennsylvania and around the country, opiate addiction affects men and
women of all ages, races, geographic locations, and socio-economic status.
Anyone can become addicted. Anyone! The Centre County HOPE Initiative
seeks to raise awareness not only about the national heroin and opioid
epidemic, but also the impact the crisis is having on our state, and most
importantly our local community. All are welcome to attend, which is the first
in a series of three planned town hall meetings. To RSVP or for additional
information please call 814-234-6727.

HOPE INITIATIVE
2016 National Correctional Officers’ Week May 1‐May 7
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 5187 creating
"National Correctional Officers' Week." The first full week in May has since
been recognized as National Correctional Officers' Week to honor the work of
correctional officers and correctional personnel nationwide.
In 1996, Congress officially changed the name of the week to National
Correctional Officers and Employees Week. The names of 585 correctional
officers are engraved on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.
These courageous heroes are forever remembered, and their light continues
to shine through their memory, and through the selfless men and women
who continue to serve each day.
Proclamation 5187 - National Correctional Officers Week, 1984
May 5, 1984
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Correctional officers have the difficult and often dangerous assignment of ensuring the custody, safety
and well-being of the over 600,000 inmates in our Nation's prisons and jails. Their position is essential
to the day-to-day operations of these institutions; without them it would be impossible to achieve the
foremost institutional goals of security and control.
Historically, correctional officers have been viewed as "guards," occupying isolated and misunderstood
positions in prisons and jails. In recent years, the duties of these officers have become increasingly
complex and demanding. They are called upon to fill, simultaneously, custodial, supervisory and
counseling roles. The professionalism, dedication and courage exhibited by these officers throughout
the performance of these demanding and often conflicting roles deserve our utmost respect. The
important work of correctional Officers often does not receive the recognition from the public it
deserves. It is appropriate that we honor the many contributions and accomplishments of these men
and women who are a vital component of the field of corrections.
In recognition of the contributions of correctional officers to our Nation, the Congress, by Senate Joint
Resolution 132, has designated the week beginning May 6, 1984, as "National Correctional Officers
Week," and authorized and requested the President to issue an appropriate proclamation.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the
week beginning May 6, 1984, as National Correctional Officers Week. I call upon officials of State and
local governments and the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate
ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of May, in the year of our Lord
nineteen hundred and eighty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two
hundred and eighth.

Organization o?ering hope
in opiate, heroin epidemic
Bl' EILEEN
There is an opiate and
heroin epidemic sweeping
our nation, and it is directly
affecting our local commu?
nity by taking lives and
devastating families.
In September IBIS, the
Centre County Criminal
Justice advisory Board, a
board that has been in?
strumental in developing,
expanding and implement?
ing a variety of successful
programs and initiatives
within Cemre County,
created a drug overdose
subcommittee.
They were tasked with
examining drug overdoses
and overdose-related
deaths occurring within the
county and to determine
what steps should be talten.
According to the Centre
County Coroner's Cl?ice.
there were 16 overdose-
related deaths in 201-1., 15
deaths in 2015 and already
in 2016, there have been 12
overdose deaths.
to each of these deaths,
it was determined that
s?awuwe
either heroin or multiple
drugs were used. Harry
non-fatal overdoses occur
but are not always record-
ed. Given this alarming
informatiom the subcom-
mittee quickly realized that
something needs to be
done to bring awareness to
the community and work to
reduce the number of over-
doses and overdosevrelated
deaths in Centre County.
At the beginning of 2016.
the subconunittee began to
meet more frequently and
representatives from addi-
tional entities were irr-
cluded in those meetings.
By May 11316, the sub?
committee evolved and the
Centre County Heroin.
Clpliod1 Prevention, Educa-
tion Initiative was formal-
ised. This group includes
the Board of Commission-
ers, the coroner and repre-
sentative: from the Centre
County CIAB, Drug and
Alcohol Of?ce, Criminal
Justice Planning Depart-
ment, law enforcement.
Mount Nittany Medical
Center, District Attomey's

ment, county EMSf?rst
responders, Centre County
Correctional Facility, Youth
Service Bureau and Chil-
dren and Youth Services.
HOPE's vision is to col-
laboratively werlt to elim-
inate substance abuse,
including the unsettling
rise in opiate drug use and
overdoses. They plan to
achieve this goal through
dedicated outreach. effec-
tive education1 raising
awareness and offering
support and treatment
options to all members of
our conununity.
This year, the Ferguson
Township, Patton Town?
ship and State College
police departments began
carrying Nalortone. an
opioid overdose anecdote.
One of many initiatives
HCIPE is working on is to
bring awareness to the
community about the Good
Samaritan Law, a law that
permits certain crim'
and civil protections for
those who reach out to the
authorities for help in an
overdose emergency. For
the law to apply, the person
witnessing an overdose
must call 911, remain on
scene and cooperate with
authorities. ludividuals are
encouraged not to run but
to stay and call for help in
order to save a life.
has scheduled a
town hall meeting for 19
p.m. Inly 26 in the Mount
Nittany Medical Center
auditorium to begin to
raise awareness and in-
volve the community in
?ghting the opiate and
heroirt epidemic. Members
of the community are
strongly urged to attend
the meeting to provide
their perspective on the
issue and learn more about
what theycan do to be-
come involved. Together,
we can worlt toward erad-
icating drug overdoses and
overdose deaths in our
community.

The Centre County HOPE (Heroin and Opioid Prevention and Education)
Initiative is a coalition comprised of local representatives from county
government, the courts, law enforcement, the medical profession, the treatment
field, and a variety of community organizations that are concerned about the
heroin and opioid/prescription drug epidemic currently sweeping across the
nation and the Commonwealth. The mission of Centre County Hope Initiative is
to bring various community agencies together to work collaboratively with
community members to eliminate substance abuse, including the unsettling rise
in opiate drug use, overdoses, and overdose deaths. The Centre County HOPE
Initiative is sponsoring a Town Hall Meeting: The Heroin and Opioid Crisis in
Centre County on Tuesday, July 26, 2016, at the Galen and Nancy
Dreibelbis Auditorium of the Mount Nittany Medical Center from 7:00 to
9:00 PM. All members of the community are welcome and encouraged to attend
this town hall meeting.
In recent years drug overdose deaths have surpassed the number of motor
vehicle accident deaths, and are now the leading cause of accidental death
across the United States. The Centers for Disease Control reported there
were 47,055 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2014, and 2,489
of those deaths occurred in Pennsylvania. That means in 2014, nearly 7
people died each day of a drug overdose in Pennsylvania. Centre County
has not escaped this epidemic. According to the Centre County Coroner,
15 people died as a result of drug overdoses in 2015, and 12 people have
died of overdoses during the first six months of 2016.
In Pennsylvania and around the country, opiate addiction affects men and
women of all ages, races, geographic locations, and socio-economic
status. Anyone can become addicted. Anyone! The Centre County HOPE
Initiative seeks to raise awareness not only about the national heroin and
opioid epidemic, but also the impact the crisis is having on our state, and
most importantly our local community. A flyer with additional information on
the Town Hall Meeting is attached.
All are welcome to attend this event which is the first in a series of three
planned town hall meetings. To RSVP or for additional information please
call 814-234-6727.

Warden,
You had mentioned ideas for possible gifts for employees, Depending on what the spending limit per each employee is, I
think getting gift cards for somewhere popular in this area( Sheetz, Subway, Lykens, Ect.) could be something that
everyone would get satisfaction from. Like Lt. Jeirles had mentioned, Doing a special meal would miss some people due
to pass days and vacation. Just wanted to throw something out there for consideration.

Please find Attached the final report of Patrick J. Zirpoli, P.R.E.A. Auditor for our June 2016 Audit. I am
Extremely proud of all the facility staff and their efforts in preparing our facility for this audit. Jeff Hite, Director
of Treatment P.R.E.A. Coordinator along with Lt. Jonathan Millinder, Counselors Danielle Minarchick and
Stephanie McGhee expended additional efforts for months in preparation for the audit. Kevin Wenrick,
Maintenance contributed greatly for the audit to include reprogramming the computers and cameras for the
Special Needs Cells to facility inmates privacy and dignity that are under observation.
We exceeded 100 % on this audit. This can only be accomplished through vigilance 24 hours per
day, 365 days per year by all that are involved in the operation of this facility. I have directed
Jeff Hite to do a presentation on the audit at the July 2016 Prison Board Meeting.

Mandated Reporter Training
Classes in session, register now!
The battle for child sexual abuse victims goes on....
HB 1947 passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday with an
amendment that removed language that would have allowed survivors of child
1
sexual abuse who are not yet 50 years old, for whom the current (or past)
statute of limitations has expired, to retroactively seek civil damages.
The bill now only provides remedies for victims moving forward, and has
removed a tool that would have been effective in exposing people who may still
be perpetrating sexual abuse.
We anticipate a motion will be offered on the Senate floor to "revert to the prior
printer's number."
If passed, this would have the effect of removing all of the language that was
added today and return it to the version of HB 1947 that passed the House.
If this motion passes, the next critical vote is "final passage" of HB 1947 which
would send the bill to the Governor for signature.
Phone your Senator and ask one and only one thing: "Please support the
motion to revert to the prior printer's number on HB 1947."

Mandated Reporters Charged for Failing to Report Child Sexual Abuse
From WPXI in Pittsburgh
A substitute teacher and a school board member in the Aliquippa School
District are facing charges of failing to report child sexual abuse.
Aileen Gilbert, a school board member, was arraigned Monday afternoon.
There is a warrant out for Ahna Anderson, a substitute teacher.
According to the Beaver County district attorney, two female students showed
Anderson a cellphone video depicting a sex act between a 12 year old girl and
2
an older student and didn’t immediately report it to school officials, police or the
state.
Court paperwork said one of the students told investigators that Anderson
asked her to show Gilbert the video because Gilbert was working on a program
to address that kind of behavior by students.
According to the criminal complaint, both Anderson and Gilbert were shown the
video on April 26 at Aliquippa Elementary School.
A report was made to authorities the next day after the vice principal was made
aware of the incident and contacted school officials, law enforcement and
Pennsylvania Child Line.
Under Pennsylvania law, school personnel and individuals who play an integral
part in regularly scheduled school programs are mandatory reporters of
suspected child sex abuse.
Anderson and Gilbert are charged with violations of the “persons required to
report suspected child abuse” statute and endangering the welfare of a child.

Eating Cleaner Every Day: The 5 Things You Need To Know
by Dawna Stone
The good news is you have so many opportunities to make changes for the better. Every time you put food
in your mouth, you make a choice. And when you choose to eat cleaner every day, you’ll notice big
differences: more energy, better sleep, less stress and anxiety, better digestion, and built‐in weight
management, to name a few.
The small change that worked for me: smarter snacking
According to a Nielsen study, 76 percent of us snack to satisfy hunger or cravings between meals,
while 61 percent of us also claim to snack for the energy boost.
Unfortunately, the snacks we choose aren’t always healthy, nor do they always leave us with long‐lasting
energy.
In the past when the urge to snack hit, I would run to the company vending machine for a not‐so‐healthy
treat. Today, I make it a priority to keep healthy options on hand.
That’s the #SmallWin I’m most proud of: learning what’s truly good for my body and making sure I’m in
control of my choices
Snacks you’ll find in my desk or office refrigerator include homemade trail mix, plain yogurt, fresh fruit, and
premium protein snacks from Lorissa’s Kitchen (my favorites are Ginger Teriyaki and Sweet Chili).
Make your own #SmallWin:
Ask yourself these 5 questions about your next snack:
1. Is it nutrient‐rich and good for me?
5
Snacking can be part of a healthy diet, but choosing the right snack isn’t always so easy. Select snacks that
are full of nutrients and will give your body what it needs to feel and look great. The right snack can also
help you make better choices at mealtime. Next time you’re about to grab a midafternoon or evening bite,
ask yourself if it has the nutrients your body needs and deserves.
2. Does it contain excess sugar?
The average American consumes 22 teaspoons of sugar a day—far more than the 6 daily teaspoons
recommended for women. Steer clear of highly processed snack foods that are loaded with excess sugar
and instead, opt for a naturally sweet treat like a piece of fruit or some plain yogurt with a touch of honey.
3. Will it give me the energy I need to get through the day?
A good‐for‐you snack can lift you out of that midafternoon slump and keep you satisfied for hours. A highly
processed and sugar‐laden snack, on the other hand, might make you feel better in the short term but will
have you crashing and craving more not long after. Remember, eating clean foods without excess sugar,
salt, or fat can not only increase your energy, but it can also promote better sleep, reduce stress and
anxiety, improve your digestion, and help you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
4. Does it contain adequate protein?
Choosing a snack that is protein‐rich can keep you satisfied and feeling full longer. Protein can also help
keep your blood sugar in check allowing you to avoid the highs and lows that often come with high carb
and high sugar snacks. Even better, protein can help rev your metabolism as it takes more effort to
metabolize and use protein than fat or carbs so you burn more calories just processing it.
Look for lean protein that is free from antibiotics and hormones.
5. Does it contain artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners?
Many snack foods are loaded with artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners and have very little nutritional
value. Saying NO to these foods is the first step to living a healthier lifestyle.

Warden,
Good morning. As discussed I was not leaving for vacation without the report being done. The report is
attached, please review, if you see anything that doesn't make sense let me know. Since the report has to be
made public the facility description is extremely vague on purpose, and all of the italic print is policy. I have
also attached the invoice and a W9, if this could be forwarded to the county.
I enjoyed working with you and all the staff at the facility, and I will see you on July 12th.
Just an FYI all of the audit postings can now be removed from the facility.
Respectfully,
Pat

We will have to provide Taylor with a “Loudermill letter”, I do not have one prepared, but can try to work on one quickly
before I come up.
The Loudermill letter must explain our evidence and is normally given to the employee prior to the loudermill
hearing. We should include what discipline is being considered and offer him the opportunity to discuss and/or present
their version or any evidence they may have.
Again, I’ll work on something quickly and send it before I go into my next meeting.

Your Skin and Sun Damage
Age Spots (Solar Lentigines)
These pesky brown or gray areas aren't really caused by aging, though more of them show up on your body as
you get older. You get them from being out in the daylight. They often appear on your face, hands, and chest.
Bleaching creams, acid peels, Retin-A products, and light treatments can make them less obvious. They don't
harm your health, but check with your doctor to make sure they're not something more serious, like skin cancer.
2
Actinic Keratosis (Solar Keratosis)
These red, brown, or skin-colored patches are small and scaly. You get them from being out in the daylight too
much. They usually show up on your head, neck, or hands, but they can also appear on other parts of your body.
See your doctor, because if they're not treated they can sometimes turn into squamous cell carcinoma, a type of
skin cancer.
Actinic Cheilitis (Farmer’s Lip)
This usually appears on the lower lip, and you may have scaly patches, dryness and cracking, or swelling.
The sharp border-line between your lip and skin may also disappear.
Get this checked by your doctor. It may turn into squamous cell carcinoma if it's not treated.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
This type of skin cancer may show up as a firm red bump, a scaly growth that bleeds or gets a crust, or a sore
that doesn't heal. It most often happens on your nose, forehead, ears, lower lip, hands, and other areas that get a
lot of sun. Squamous cell carcinoma can be cured if you get treated early.
3
Basal Cell Carcinoma
This is the most common form of skin cancer, and it's the easiest to treat.
Basal cell carcinoma spreads slowly. The tumors can take on many forms, including a pearly white or waxy
bump, often with visible blood vessels, on the ears, neck, or face.
A tumor can also appear as a flat, scaly, flesh-colored or brown patch on your back or chest, or more rarely, a
white, waxy scar.
Melanoma
It's not as common as other types of skin cancer, but it's the most serious. Possible signs include a change in the
way a mole or colored area looks.
Melanoma can affect the skin only, or it may spread to organs and bones. It can be cured if you get early
treatment.
Cataract
This is a cloudy area in the lens of your eye. It's painless, but it may cause foggy vision, glare from light, and
seeing double. You can help prevent cataracts by wearing a hat and sunglasses when you're in the sun.
Shun the Sun
The best way to avoid sunburn, wrinkles, skin cancer, and other damage is to stay out of the daylight, especially
between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m, when the sun's rays are strongest.
4
If you need to be outside, use sunscreen, wear a hat and sunglasses, and cover up your skin with clothing.
If you see any changes to a mole or you spot a new growth or a sore that won't heal, see your doctor right way.

There absolutely is a procedure in place. It is a 50% payment by the County but there is a period of time that you, in
return are committed to staying here. I have to run it is 5:45 PM I will ask Lt. Mendez to give you a copy of County. If not
I give you a good.
I got s recent request from one of our staff members to pay for their Masters Degree. I Approved it and put it in the
Budget. Her estimate for the entire degree was $48,000. Centre County is $24,000. I am Extremely supportive of
continuing staff's education and training.
Sorry,
I will get a better response tomorrow.

Warden Smith,
I recently decided to continue my education online to receive my bachelors degree in Criminal Justice. I had a few
questions regarding it. CO McClenahan told me the county helps employees pay for schooling and that there is a form I
can fill out. Would I be able to have that form to fill out? And second question would be if you would allow me to bring
in school books to do homework while on shift.
Thank you for your time,
CO Addleman

The Centre County HOPE (Heroin and Opioid Prevention and Education) Initiative is a
coalition comprised of local representatives from county government, the courts, law
enforcement, the medical profession, the treatment field, and a variety of community
organizations that are concerned about the heroin and opioid/prescription drug epidemic
currently sweeping across the nation and the Commonwealth. The mission of Centre County
Hope Initiative is to bring various community agencies together to work collaboratively with
community members to eliminate substance abuse, including the unsettling rise in opiate drug
use, overdoses, and overdose deaths. The Centre County HOPE Initiative is sponsoring a
Town Hall Meeting: The Heroin and Opioid Crisis in Centre County on Tuesday, July
26, 2016, at the Galen and Nancy Dreibelbis Auditorium of the Mount Nittany Medical
Center from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. All members of the community are welcome and encouraged
to attend this town hall meeting.
In recent years drug overdose deaths have surpassed the number of motor vehicle
accident deaths, and are now the leading cause of accidental death across the United
States. The Centers for Disease Control reported there were 47,055 drug overdose
deaths in the United States in 2014, and 2,489 of those deaths occurred in
Pennsylvania. That means in 2014, nearly 7 people died each day of a drug overdose
in Pennsylvania. Centre County has not escaped this epidemic. According to the
Centre County Coroner, 15 people died as a result of drug overdoses in 2015, and 12
people have died of overdoses during the first six months of 2016.
In Pennsylvania and around the country, opiate addiction affects men and women of all
ages, races, geographic locations, and socio-economic status. Anyone can become
addicted. Anyone! The Centre County HOPE Initiative seeks to raise awareness not
only about the national heroin and opioid epidemic, but also the impact the crisis is
having on our state, and most importantly our local community. A flyer with additional
information on the Town Hall Meeting is attached.
All are welcome to attend this event which is the first in a series of three planned town
hall meetings. To RSVP or for additional information please call 814-234-6727.

1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
4 cups baby arugula, chopped
10
2 Tbs. aged balsamic vinegar
¼ tsp. kosher salt

6 salaried positions. Warden has discretion to recommend starting rate between $50,325 and $53,390.
Internally administered one‐for‐one “comp” time for any hours worked over 40. Lieutenants must “use or lose” the
comp time in that calendar year.
Warden Berdanier noted that the Lieutenants were salaried non‐exempt until an August 2013 study. When moved to
exempt, the compression of Warden, Deputy, and Captain salaries to put the Lieutenants between Captain and CO
meant the rate of Lieutenants is not much above CO. This compression causes problems getting officers to want to
promote, and they often hire former police officers from outside now.

Directive on Officer Meal Reimbursements for Medical Transports
Pertinent Documents DRAFT Meal Reimburse. Directive 6-24-2016.pdf; LETTERHEAD
COLOR.rtf
All:
I am requesting that all internal candidates for the Deputy Warden for Administration position at
CCCF do a “DRAFT” writing Directive for a new system to reimburse Corrections Officers for meals
while on medical transports. There currently is no Directive or Policy that addresses this issue. It is
discussed in Article 5.14 in the Centre County / S.E.I.U. Contract that is attached. I have Attached a
CCCF Letterhead for you to use.
Internal candidates for the Deputy Warden for Administration are voluntarily asked to create a
“DRAFT” Directive on Meals and Reimbursement On A Transport or Community Hospital assignment
which covers the following points:
The pertinent sections of the Union contract (Attached) shall be considered in this Directive.
Officers MUST request to their Supervisor /Lieutenant $15.00 in cash or a bag lunch from
Food Services or no meal or reimbursement shall be provided. If
Petty Cash is provided receipts shall be submitted . All monies not covered by receipts up to
the amount of Petty Cash received shall be returned when receipts
are submitted. An Example is that Petty Cash only has $20.00 bills and $20.00 is given.
Receipts submitted are for $12.00. Eight (8) dollars shall be included when receipts are
submitted.
Officers on these details having Money, Debit Card, or Credit are welcome as always to submit
receipts and shall be reimbursed up to $15.00. If only $9.00
in receipts are submitted they will be reimbursed for $9.00. If receipts are submitted for
$19.80 they will be reimbursed for $15.00 only.
A total of $60.00 shall be kept in Petty Cash in the Shift Commander’s Office. A separate key
shall be placed in the electronic key cabinet. Only Shift Commanders, the two (2) Deputy
Wardens and Director of Treatment shall be given access to the key. The key shall be returned
to the cabinet As Soon As Possible after drawn from the key cabinet.
In addition please create a simple form to be used as a proper Petty Cash receipt.
Feel free to separately outline pros and cons of this Directive. Remember this is a DRAFT not the
Final Directive. If you can think of a better more concise, professional look for Directives please feel
free. I do not especially like our current format.

list shall be created and the Officer placed on the list. They shall be called first when overtime is
available. If make?up overtime is offered to the Of?cer at the top of the list and refused, the make-up
overtime is voided.
Provided however, when the available overtime is gender speci?c, for females only, the starting point
for the next female-only overtime will change, not the starting point for non-gender speci?c overtime, it
will remain the same and then continue the normal process, and this will enable all Of?cers to have an
equal opportunity for overtime. The Warden, in his discretion, may schedule part-time employees to fill
shift vacancies. if overtime cannot be satisfied in this manner, it will be distributed as equally as
practicable among the employees with consideration being given to the seniority of employees within
the classification where overtime is required
Mandating procedure is as follows:
a. Mandating is defined as any time an officer is forced to work outside of their normally
scheduled shift up but not exceeding eight (8) hours. Returning back late to the facility from a medical
run is not considered a mandate.
1. Mandating of employees will not be done in advance of shifts, an employee currently at
the facility working on the second shift can not be mandated to work the first shift of the
following day).
2. When overtime hours occur on the following shift, and all attempts at fulfilling those overtime
hours have been exhausted, the shift commander will access the corrections officer mandating
list ?migh?will be listed in order by seniority.
3. The least Senior Of?cer, next on the rotation mandation list, that is currently available on
shift, shall be mandated to work.
4. The shift commander will notify that employee they are thejunior most employee on the shift
and there is a possibility that they will be mandated. This warning is only to give the employee
as much time as possible to make any personal arrangements needed to work additional time.
5. The shift commander may not officially mandate the junior most employee until thirty (30)
minutes prior to the following shift.
6. Once the employee completes their mandate, the date and shift will be reflected on the
Mandate Shift List located on the I drive.
5.8 The Union and County agree that management shall be the sole judge as to the necessity for
overtime work, and employees shall not be obligated to work overtime when they are requested to do
so unless in an emergency or crisis. The Union agrees that there will be no concerted refusal to perform
reasonable overtime work requested of them. Any employee who refuses overtime assignment shall be
charged the amount of time actually worked by the employee who accepts the assignment, for the
purpose of balancing overtime among the employees. Any employee, who accepts an overtime
assignment but fails to work without an acceptable excuse, will be bypassed until the rotating cycle
among employees on the overtime list has been completed twice and his turn is due again.
5.9 An Employee who reports late for work without providing advance notice to the County, or without
adequate explanation for their failure to give notice in advance shall be docked for each quarter
hour or part thereof for which they report late.
5.10 Employees must remain in the prison building unless excused by their supervisor during any and all
meal periods. The County shall make available the meals or beverages to the employees of the kind and
type provided the inmates. Employees will be permitted to bring in ?Bag lunches". Standard rules
continue to apply.
5.11 An employee called in to perform work, other than the regularly scheduled work, shall be paid a
minimum of three (3) hours pay at the employee's regular hourly rate or at the overtime rate if it applies
according to the terms of this Article.
5.12 Removal from the call-in list will be made for those correction officers who request it in writing
and where the Warden has given approval. A correction of?cer may be placed on the call?in list if the
request is submitted in writing to the Warden.
5.13. All employees will be required to attend mandatory muster fifteen (15) minutes prior to the
start of their shift. The time spent in muster meetings is considered time worked for pay purposes.
5.14 The County shall reimburse $6.00 for breakfast, $15.00 for other meals, not to exceed $26.00
per day for receipted meals incurred during transport and/or training outside the prison when meals are
not provided.

6.1 The employee shall have the right of access and inspection of his or her personnel files as
provided in accordance with the Act of November 26, 1978, 43 PS. Section 1321. The employee will be
responsible to contact the HR Department to set up a time to review his/her file.

Directive on Officer Meak Reimbursements for Medical Transports
Pertinent Documents DRAFT Meal Reimburse. Directive 6-24-2016.pdf; LETTERHEAD
COLOR.rtf
All:
I am requesting that all internal candidates for the Deputy Warden for Administration position at
CCCF do a “DRAFT” writing Directive for a new system to reimburse Corrections Officers for meals
while on medical transports. There currently is no Directive or Policy that addresses this issue. It is
discussed in Article 5.14 in the Centre County / S.E.I.U. Contract that is attached. I have Attached a
CCCF Letterhead for you to use.
Internal candidates for the Deputy Warden for Administration are voluntarily asked to create a
“DRAFT” Directive on Meals and Reimbursement On A Transport or Community Hospital assignment
which covers the following points:
The pertinent sections of the Union contract (Attached) shall be considered in this Directive.
Officers MUST request to their Supervisor /Lieutenant $15.00 in cash or a bag lunch from
Food Services or no meal or reimbursement shall be provided. If
Petty Cash is provided receipts shall be submitted . All monies not covered by receipts up to
the amount of Petty Cash received shall be returned when receipts
are submitted. An Example is that Petty Cash only has $20.00 bills and $20.00 is given.
Receipts submitted are for $12.00. Eight (8) dollars shall be included when receipts are
submitted.
Officers on these details having Money, Debit Card, or Credit are welcome as always to submit
receipts and shall be reimbursed up to $15.00. If only $9.00
in receipts are submitted they will be reimbursed for $9.00. If receipts are submitted for
$19.80 they will be reimbursed for $15.00 only.
A total of $60.00 shall be kept in Petty Cash in the Shift Commander’s Office. A separate key
shall be placed in the electronic key cabinet. Only Shift Commanders, the two (2) Deputy
Wardens and Director of Treatment shall be given access to the key. The key shall be returned
to the cabinet As Soon As Possible after drawn from the key cabinet.
In addition please create a simple form to be used as a proper Petty Cash receipt.
Feel free to separately outline pros and cons of this Directive. Remember this is a DRAFT not the
Final Directive. If you can think of a better more concise, professional look for Directives please feel
free. I do not especially like our current format.

RE: Message
Natalie,
Shelby Carroway is and has been our volunteer Chaplain for the jail for at least 3 years. She has
been invaluable in work on the facility garden/Penn State Extension Project and the Community
Mentor Program and much, much more. She deals with inmates all day Thursdays, often comes
in after hours for Mentor Training deals one on one with female inmates that have Mental
Health issues, etc. She is in charge of the Christmas Card Project in the women’s Units.
She has been asking me for some time if she can attend the next C.I.T. class. We have an
average of appro.70 women. Do you think there is a chance of her being in the January C.I.T.
Class?

You're slouching right now, aren't you? Don't worry, it's something we all do.
However, studies have shown that bad posture can increase feelings of depression, zap your energy and
cut off your circulation.
Couple that with sitting for long periods of time, and you've got a health hazard on your hands.
If you have an office job, it's difficult to avoid the pitfalls of sitting and slouching. However, there are
plenty of little tricks you can use to improve your posture gradually.
1. Keep your ears in line with your shoulders.
If you're leaning too far forward or backward, your posture is off‐kilter. Use this trick whenever
you're sitting at your desk.
2. Practice small shoulder and chest exercises.
Here are a few worth trying out:
3
Try a wall angel Stand up against a wall with your legs spread apart, and hold your arms up
on either side of you in a 90‐degree angle. Slowly raise your arms up and down. Do this at
least 15 times.
o Shoulder shrugs: Lift and lower your shoulders up and down. The movement will loosen you
up.
o
3. Uncross those legs.
The correct way to sit in a chair requires you to place your feet flat on the ground. That means no
crossing your legs or sticking them out in front of you.
If making your feet completely flat is uncomfortable, prop your feet on something. A small laptop
stand or some old, thick books could work as makeshift props.
4. Pull back your shoulder blades.
Drawing them back and down will bring your chest up and out, and help you avoid getting rounded
shoulders.
5. Get up and move every so often.
Sitting for long periods of time is really terrible for the body. Your blood flows slower, abdominal
muscles get weaker, bones get thinner due to inactivity and your life expectancy decreases. Unless
you use a standing desk, it's difficult to avoid sitting all day.
If you can't leave often, try to incorporate mini‐walks into your daily schedule, getting up every
hour or so. In addition, start taking the stairs, and take breaks to stand up and walk to bathrooms
that are farther away. Integrating constant motion into your work routine also has an added
benefit: It improves your efficiency and concentration.

Good Afternoon All:

At our June 10 reentry meeting we decided that we would create two subcommittees to
work on the two top priority areas selected from the original nine previously identified at
the April 8 meeting. Those top two priority areas were
1. Reaching Out to the Community - combined with the lack of positive support, and
2. Life Skills Enhancement - to include PREP Housing, Resocialization, and other
life skill type things that returning citizens would benefit from when returning to
the community
Coalition members were asked to email me if they were interested in serving on either
subcommittee and as of today I’ve heard from several people. Before moving forward I
thought I’d email the group to see if anyone else is interested in serving on either of
those subcommittees. If so please email me or call me at 548-1048 as soon as
possible. Thanks and have a nice weekend!

Department Heads and Elected Officials,
We recently had several concerns brought to our attention regarding hours worked for nonexempt (hourly) employees and if they are bring compensated correctly. Please see the
information I have gathered below and the attached flyer from the Department of Labor
regarding the requirements for hours worked under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
We are also considering hold a Fair Labor Standards Act training for all department heads
and elected officials. Please let us know if you feel this would be beneficial.
If you have any questions, please contact me directly.
Thank you,

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) covered non-exempt (hourly) employees must be
paid for all hours worked in a workweek. In general, “hours worked” includes all time an
employee must be on duty, or on the employer’s premises or at any other prescribed place
of work. This includes any additional time the employee is allowed (i.e., suffered or
permitted) to work beyond their normally scheduled hours. All time spent by an employee
performing activities which are job-related is potentially “work time”, which they must be
compensated for.
Even if an employee “volunteers’ to perform work without pay, the employer is still
obligated to pay the employee for all hours they perform work for the employer. Managers
must be diligent about not permitting any employees to perform ANY work “off the clock”,
as this is an enormous liability for employers.
11
If an employer does not wish an employee to perform work, they must prohibit the
employee from doing so. Otherwise the time worked must be added in when calculating the
employees pay. Employee must be made aware they should not be working over their
budgeted hours, and that they are not permitted to do so. If they continue to do so,
disciplinary action should be taken and documented.
Many FLSA lawsuits have involved employers failing to include time spent by employees
performing work activities outside of their normal shifts. For example, an employee may
"come early" and start working before the official start time of their shifts. Such time counts
as work time and must be included in FLSA pay computations, provided only that the
employer knew or should have known that the employee was beginning work early (and, of
course, to the extent that the employee spent pre-shift time actually performing work
activities).
The County does allow for flex time, so in instances where an employee must arrive early
for a meeting or because of an event the supervisor may allow them to use that time within
the same pay week. The hours they work each day should be recorded on their time sheet.
For example, an employee normally arrives at 8:30 to start work and works 7.5 hours
on a normal day. One a Monday she arrives at 8:00 to prepare for a meeting and
leaves at her normal departure time. She puts in 8 hours on her time sheet for
Monday. She requests and is approved to leave a half hour early on Wednesday. For
Wednesday she puts only 7 hours on her time sheet.

discussed in Article 5.14 in the Centre County / S.E.I.U. Contract that is attached. I have Attached a
CCCF Letterhead for you to use.
Internal candidates for the Deputy Warden for Administration are voluntarily asked to create a
“DRAFT” Directive on Meals and Reimbursement On A Transport or Community Hospital assignment
which covers the following points:
The pertinent sections of the Union contract (Attached) shall be considered in this Directive.
Officers MUST request to their Supervisor /Lieutenant $15.00 in cash or a bag lunch from
Food Services or no meal or reimbursement shall be provided. If
Petty Cash is provided receipts shall be submitted . All monies not covered by receipts up to
the amount of Petty Cash received shall be returned when receipts
are submitted. An Example is that Petty Cash only has $20.00 bills and $20.00 is given.
Receipts submitted are for $12.00. Eight (8) dollars shall be included when receipts are
submitted.
Officers on these details having Money, Debit Card, or Credit are welcome as always to submit
receipts and shall be reimbursed up to $15.00. If only $9.00
in receipts are submitted they will be reimbursed for $9.00. If receipts are submitted for
$19.80 they will be reimbursed for $15.00 only.
A total of $60.00 shall be kept in Petty Cash in the Shift Commander’s Office. A separate key
shall be placed in the electronic key cabinet. Only Shift Commanders, the two (2) Deputy
Wardens and Director of Treatment shall be given access to the key. The key shall be returned
to the cabinet As Soon As Possible after drawn from the key cabinet.
In addition please create a simple form to be used as a proper Petty Cash receipt.
Feel free to separately outline pros and cons of this Directive. Remember this is a DRAFT not the
Final Directive. If you can think of a better more concise, professional look for Directives please feel
free. I do not especially like our current format.

Power of Attorney
Power of Attorney.pdf
Betsy,
I spoke to Dee about contacting you with this question that has not arisen in the 8 years Deputy
Gordon has been here, or the 4 I have been here. We have a Power of Attorney form that has been
in place since the facility opened, at least, that speaks to endorsing checks and money orders and
mail. Inmate Garth Atkins is demanding to revoke the form he signed on commitment (attached
scan).
We haven’t encountered this, so what ramifications will there be when he does so? Clearly we will
not sign his checks, but do you know of a reason that mail was included on this form? We’re not sure
if that means we’d refuse all incoming and outgoing mail since we can’t process it?
Since we’ve never looked at this in our tenure, it’s probably worth reviewing the form as a whole to
see if it’s necessary and proper.
Thank you for your help,
Rick Smith, Warden

Re:
Phone call rates
Due to a recent ruling by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), most jails and
prisons in the United States were required to change the structure of how phone call rates are
charged. Areas of the phone rates like connection fees, rates per minute, and commissions to the
facilities were affected.
Centre County Correctional Facility has amended its agreement with phone provider Global TelLink (GTL) to meet these standards, so there will be noticeable changes in the local and Intralata
(within a designated region) in state phone calls.
There is no longer an immediate connection flat fee charged; all rates are per minute that is used
on the call. Previously, a local call cost the same amount whether the call was less than a
minute, or the full 15 allowed. Now, a phone call of only a few minutes will cost less than one
for the full 15 minutes.
The in state call rate with GTL has been set to 18.5¢ per minute plus any federal, state, and local
taxes and fees. With the current taxes, an estimate of 21¢ will be very close to the amount
charged to the account.
In addition to the calling rate changes, Centre County Correctional Facility will no longer be
collecting commissions from the use of facility phones. Friends and family members will also
find that service fees charged by GTL to place money on an inmate’s account by phone have
been reduced.
These changes have taken effect within the facility.

Attention Mental Health and Justice Advisory Committee Members:
Below is an email from the Department of Human Services regarding a joint press conference scheduled for tomorrow
with Senator Vance and the Department of Corrections.
Good morning! Tomorrow at 10 a.m., the Department of Human Services (DHS) will host a joint press conference with
Senator Vance and the Department of Corrections to discussion the suspension, as opposed to termination, of Medical
Assistance for individuals entering incarceration. This change will enable individuals to access services immediately upon
release, as opposed to waiting to reapply. On behalf of DHS, it is my hope that you can join DHS, the Department of
Corrections, and Senator Vance at the press conference.
Should you be able to attend, the event will be held at 1101 Claremont Road, Carlisle, PA 17015.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow. In the meantime, should you have any questions, or require additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Warden Black,
I would like to make it clear that Huntingdon County is considered one of our most important clients
with regard to Housing contracts. We would not refuse a Huntingdon County inmate unless I was
called personally by our Shift Commanders. With that said we have an issue that I would like to
discuss which is video conference hearings. We totally support these types of hearings for the
following reasons:
Safety of both the Transporting Officers and Community by not taking the inmate outside the
secure jail setting.
Savings in cost with regard to Officer salaries, wear and tear on the transport vehicle, cost of
fuel, etc.
We never have a problem handling one (1) to three(3) video hearings a day but recently we have six
(6) hearings scheduled for June 30, 2016 and we had a nine (9) inmate hearing schedule on June 16,
2016 previously.
What I propose is that there be No Charge on any days that we handle three (3) hearings or less. If
we can handle more than three (3) hearings (when Central Booking is slow) we certainly will but if
we have to call an Officer in on OT we bill you back the exact hourly rate we paid to the Officer
called in. The charge would be identical to how we are reimbursed for Officers exact pay concerning
medical trips and inpatient hospital services provided to Huntingdon County inmates.
6
As you are aware we lowered your per diem recently from $69.00/day to $65.00/day in an attempt to
be fair and reasonable. We are sure you understand this issue we have outlined herein.
Please let me know Huntingdon Counties’ feelings on this matter prior to the Hearings scheduled
June 30, 2016, if possible. If you agree I will prepare a contract addendum which outlines the
language in this E mail.

This is a copy of what I sent to Huntingdon to hopefully fix where they schedule 6,9, or more
video conferences per day. I discussed with Mr. Andrews and Mike Shearer. They recommended
saying over 4 video conferences per day. I moved it down to over 3 inmate Hearings per day.

called personally by our Shift Commanders. With that said we have an issue that I would like to
discuss which is video conference hearings. We totally support these types of hearings for the
following reasons:
Safety of both the Transporting Officers and Community by not taking the inmate outside the
secure jail setting.
Savings in cost with regard to Officer salaries, wear and tear on the transport vehicle, cost of
fuel, etc.
We never have a problem handling one (1) to three(3) video hearings a day but recently we have six
(6) hearings scheduled for June 30, 2016 and we had a nine (9) inmate hearing schedule on June 16,
2016 previously.
What I propose is that there be No Charge on any days that we handle three (3) hearings or less. If
we can handle more than three (3) hearings (when Central Booking is slow) we certainly will but if
we have to call an Officer in on OT we bill you back the exact hourly rate we paid to the Officer
called in. The charge would be identical to how we are reimbursed for Officers exact pay concerning
medical trips and inpatient hospital services provided to Huntingdon County inmates.
As you are aware we lowered your per diem recently from $69.00/day to $65.00/day in an attempt to
be fair and reasonable. We are sure you understand this issue we have outlined herein.
Please let me know Huntingdon Counties’ feelings on this matter prior to the Hearings scheduled
June 30, 2016, if possible. If you agree I will prepare a contract addendum which outlines the
language in this E mail.

When a Loved One Has Alzheimer's Disease
Could It Be Alzheimer's?
It’s normal for people to become a bit forgetful as they age. So how can you tell a harmless "senior moment" from
Alzheimer's disease? One in eight people 65 and older have this devastating form of dementia. In its first stages,
Alzheimer’s may not be obvious to friends and family. But there are some early warning signs to watch for.
Warning Signs: Memory and Speech
In early Alzheimer’s, long-term memories usually remain intact while short-term memories become sketchy.
Your loved one may forget conversations you had. She may repeat questions that were already answered.
The disease also disrupts speech, so she might struggle to remember common words.
Warning Signs: Behavior
In addition to memory loss, Alzheimer’s can cause confusion and behavior changes.
Your loved one may get lost in familiar places. Mood swings and lapses in judgment are also common, as is poor hygiene.
People who were once stylish may start wearing stained clothes and forget to wash their hair.
Don't Ignore the Signs
It's hard to face the thought that a loved one could have this disease, but it's better to see a doctor sooner rather than
later. First, the diagnosis might be something else.
The symptoms could be caused by a highly treatable problem, like a thyroid imbalance. And if it is Alzheimer’s, treatments
work best when they’re used early in the course of the disease.
How Is It Diagnosed?
There’s no simple test for Alzheimer’s, so the doctor will rely on you to describe the changes in your loved one. A mental
status test, sometimes called a “mini-cog,” or other screening tests can measure his mental skills and short-term memory.
22
Neurological exams and brain scans may be used to rule out other problems, like a stroke or tumor, and they can provide
other information about his brain.
What Happens to the Brain?
Alzheimer’s causes nerve cell death and tissue loss throughout the brain. As the disease gets worse, brain tissue shrinks
and areas that contain cerebrospinal fluid become larger. The damage harms memory, speech, and comprehension.
What to Expect
Alzheimer’s takes a different path in every person. Sometimes the symptoms get worse quickly and lead to severe
memory loss and confusion within a few years. For other people the changes are gradual. It could take 20 years for the
disease to run its course. Most people live 3 to 9 years after diagnosis.
How Will It Change Daily Life?
Alzheimer’s affects concentration, so your loved one may not be able to do ordinary tasks like cooking or paying the bills.
A study suggests trouble balancing the checkbook is often one of the first signs of the disease. As symptoms worsen, he
may not recognize familiar people or places. He may get lost easily or use utensils improperly, like combing his hair with a
fork. Incontinence, balance problems, and loss of language are common in advanced stages.
Should My Loved One Stop Driving?
Poor coordination, memory loss, and confusion are a dangerous combination behind the wheel. If you feel your loved one
should stop driving, tell her why. If she won’t listen, ask her doctor to step in. If she still insists on driving, contact the
Department of Motor Vehicles for an assessment. Then make other plans for her transportation needs.
Can Exercise Help?
Physical activity can help your loved one keep some muscle strength and coordination. It might also boost his mood and
help him feel less anxious. Check with his doctor to learn which types of exercise are appropriate. Repetitive activities, like
walking, gardening, or even folding laundry may be the best at giving him a sense of calm.
23
How Is It Treated?
There’s no cure for Alzheimer’s and no way to slow the nerve damage it causes in the brain. But there are medications
that appear to help maintain mental skills and slow the disease’s effects. If your loved one gets treatment early on, she
may be able to stay independent and do her daily tasks for a longer period of time.
The Caregiver's Role
If you’re caring for someone with this disease, you’ll probably wear many hats -- cook, chauffeur, and accountant to name
a few. While you may have to handle meal planning and finances, encourage your loved one to do some things for
herself. It may help to label cabinets with their contents and put up sticky notes with reminders of daily tasks. Be sure to
buy a weekly pill box for her medications.
Sundown Syndrome
Experts don’t know why, but some people with Alzheimer’s get upset when the sun goes down. This tends to last through
the evening and sometimes all night long. To ease tension, keep the house well lit and close the drapes before sunset.
Try to distract your loved one with a favorite activity or TV show. Switch him to decaf after breakfast.
When Your Loved One Doesn't Know You
Many people with Alzheimer’s have trouble remembering names, even of people closest to them. A temporary fix is to put
up pictures of people they’re likely to see often or know well with names printed underneath. Eventually, your loved one
may no longer recognize faces and may react as if family members are strangers. This can be distressing, especially for
the main caregiver.
Take Care of Yourself
To avoid caregiver burnout, make sure you take at least a few minutes to do something you enjoy every day. Stay in
touch with friends and keep up with hobbies when you can. Find a friend or relative to be your support person. You can
also join an online or local caregiver support group through the Alzheimer’s Association.
Essential Documents
While your loved one is still able to make important decisions, talk to an attorney about drafting advance directives. These
are legal documents that spell out what he wants in terms of medical treatments and end-of-life care. He should name
someone to make health care decisions and manage finances on his behalf. This will help avoid confusion later on if he’s
no longer able to state his wishes.
Home Health Care
Many people want to stay in their own homes as long as possible. That’s not easy if they have trouble getting dressed or
using the bathroom on their own. A home health aide can help with personal hygiene and other daily tasks. You can also
check with the Office of Aging for information on services that deliver meals or provide transportation to the elderly.
24
Assisted-Living Facilities
There may come a day when your loved one can no longer be cared for at home. If she doesn’t need 24-hour nursing
care, an assisted-living facility may be good choice. They provide housing, meals, and activities, but are much less
expensive than nursing homes. Look for one with an Alzheimer’s special care unit that can give 24-hour supervision and
personal care to meet the needs of people with dementia.
The Later Stages
People with advanced Alzheimer’s may lose their ability to walk, talk, or respond to others. Eventually, the disease can
hinder vital functions, like the ability to swallow. This may be the time to switch to hospice care, which provides pain relief
and comfort for people with terminal illnesses.
Can You Prevent It? Is there anything you can do to lower your chances of getting this disease? Research in
this area is ongoing, but diet and exercise appear to be important. Studies show people who eat a Mediterranean diet rich
in vegetables, fish, and nuts and get plenty of physical activity are the least likely to get Alzheimer’s.

not automatically just add them as a ‘new’ visitor.
Go to Non‐Inmate tab

Search each person to make sure they are not already entered.
If they are NOT in the system ‐ you may add them as a new visitor.
If they ARE in the system ‐ update all info.
o Make sure you change the address and phone number.
27
o You do not need to make them a new visitor just because the
address does not match!
VISITOR BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY ARE!
Official Visitors cannot be an Official Visitor until they complete the
Orientation / PREA Class and their application is approved.
Once this process is complete I will add their information in the
computer.
Could you please try to make sure all info is entered in all caps? If you haven’t noticed, if
you are searching for a visitor, the ones not entered in all caps is at the end so it is not in
order.
I am trying to keep the Registered Visitors up‐to‐date and the Official Visitors as current as
possible.

Vacation Day Request 6-20-2016
Dee,
I need to take a Vacation day tomorrow June 21, 2016. They posted on our front door they are asphalting our
driveway tomorrow. They installed "french dranes" along our side of Pine Tree Avenue in Boalsburg. Since we
have the corner lot by St. Joseph's Academy our yard and driveways were dug up the most on the street. I want
to be here and make sure they do it correctly.
I will ensure that you are sent the PREA investigation on
tomorrow afternoon.
There are no meetings, Melanie will be On Site alll day and is On Call. If this is a problem I will come in.
Thank You,
Rick

RE: Sexual Harassment Training for Jeffrey Emeigh Jr
Lydia,
I will have Melanie call you. I am sure the new hires will be able to attend one of these dates or
you may want to do it at the jail. In any case I will have her call. She will be in tomorrow.
Thank You,

As part of the JAG Grant application process it is required that the project “partners” enter into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) in addition to providing any support letters for the project. In the interests of keeping it simple, I’ve
put together a DRAFT MOU which is attached. Please look this over ASAP and let me know if you see anything that
needs to be changed, added, or whatever.
I’d like to finalize this today so that it can be approved by the commissioners at their public meeting on Tuesday, June 21
as part of the approval of the JAG Grant that will be on their consent agenda. Sorry for the short time frame but that is
what we had to work with. We’re just trying to make sure we have all elements of the application covered. Feel free to
call me if you have any questions. Thanks

Mandated Reporter Training
Classes in session, register now!
Take a look at our summer newsletter, "The Alliance," where you'll find out
about the many ways that PFSA protects PA kids from abuse. Included in
this issue:
- Things to consider when deciding whether a child is safe at home over the
summer and ways neighbors can help keep an eye on children.
- A look at the valuable partnerships - volunteers, donors, and staff - that make
5
our work possible, as well as updates on our staff and expert trainers.
- Many people, at one time or another, have wondered when appropriate and
effective discipline of children crosses the line into child abuse. We offer a few
suggestions on that question.
- Child Abuse Prevention Month was an opportunity to spread the word about
the preventable nature of child abuse, engage communities in the protection of
children, and highlight the work of our local affiliates across the state. Our
newsletter gives you a recap of all the April happenings.
Read "The Alliance"
Many schools, service agencies and other organizations across the state
have benefited from utilizing PFSA’s “Recognizing and Reporting Child
Abuse” Train-the-Trainer (TTT) Program. TTT helps organizations build and
expand in-house expertise and capabilities to offer Mandated Reporter
Training. The organization chooses which staff will become their in-house
resource; these professionals are called “organizational trainers.” By
designating a staff person as your organizational trainer, you give your staff
members the best possible training and ongoing support in their roles as
mandated reporters.
PFSA is the only approved entity in Pennsylvania able to offer Train-theTrainer (TTT). Our curriculum is approved for Act 48 credits and meets
all requirements under both Act 126 (Recognizing and Reporting Child
Abuse requirement) and Act 31 for required training of mandated reporters.
Find out more about "Train the Trainer"
If you’ve ever seen a parent “losing their cool” with a child in a store or
restaurant, if you’ve ever wondered if a child in your neighborhood is being
6
supervised and cared for – you are not alone. These concerns, and others, are
what PFSA's Front Porch Project (FPP) is all about.
FPP is a community-based primary prevention initiative based on the belief
that everyone can – and should – become more aware of how to help
protect children and support families in their own community. It provides
ordinary citizens with the knowledge, training and encouragement they need to
become involved in preventing abuse and neglect before it occurs. Often, after
the death of a child due to abuse or neglect, neighbors and community
members ask, “Is there anything I could have done to help?” and look for ways
that they might safely have intervened to protect the child before the tragedy
occurred.

Staffing CCCF
Lt. Woods:
The Commissioners requested a staffing audit of a State College firm (same firm that reviewed Lt. Duties just before I
arrived in July 2012.
I need staffing history prior to my arrival such as:
* # staff reporting off before OT was authorized( 2'nd CO in Central, 1 CO in Intake/ Release, Relief 3 Vacant.
* Contract training requirement (40 hours). Show avg. hours 2011, 2012 prior to July 8, 2012and July 8, 2012 to Dec. 31,
2012, 2013avg., 2014 avg., 2015 avg. and 2016 avg. to date.
* Lay out Staffing Reorganization after SCI Rockview rape and Pa Title 37 requirement for staff supervision while food
was prepared on 11‐7 Shift.
* Explain inequities of Old Rotation and discuss move to all staff moved to New Rotation.
* Discuss request and Approval of 2 Lt.'s to permit 2 always On Duty 7‐3 and 3‐11.
* Discuss Request and Approval of 2 new Counselors for Re entry and Medical assistance.
* Discuss 35 + separations since I arrived ( Brenda has report).
* Discuss inefficient Mandation procedure for medical trips.
* I need Pentamation (Current) for budget especially for Salries and OT.
* Show current Duty Roster for all 3 shifts.
I realize this is alot to deal with but there are reports on just about every issue I have discussed. If Melanie doesn't have
see Jeff Hite. I am copying Melanie, Jeff Hite and Brenda on this E mail.
This is an Extremely High Priority. This firm did not call me until after 4 PM on Thursday. He could not have possibly
picked worse timing and given any less notice than he has.
Please keep me informed all day by E mail. I have to meet him at the jail at 5:30 PM tomorrow.

Melanie is on Vacation until at least Thursday morning, June 16, 2016 and Joe’s

Jeff Krause did not leave a cell phone number or E mail address so I can’t do
anything more until Monday morning.
You know I will work this out in some way. I simply wanted you to be aware of how
this is proceeding. Other than this the OMSE has been down all day. I am here at

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
Mental health and addiction continue to be misunderstood and rarely spoken of in America. Yet in a given
year, mental health issues will personally impact one in four people in the U.S. – approximately 25 percent
of us. More than 22 million people have a substance use disorder.
Mental illnesses and substance use disorders – just like high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes –
are treatable health issues. Stigma linked to mental health and addiction often keeps people from seeking
the help they need – yet for those who do, recovery is possible.
The Facts
An estimated 26 percent of adults have a diagnosable mental illness in a given year; about 21
percent of children ages 9 to 17 have a diagnosable mental or addictive illness.
One in two of us will have a mental health issue during our lifetime.
Less than one‐third of adults with a mental health issue will get help.
Up to 90 percent of those who get help are able to significantly reduce symptoms and improve
their quality of life.
Why We Need to Talk
Just like any other illness, there are things a person can do to make life better and manage the symptoms.
Recovery is possible. We must educate and motivate ourselves and others with that fact. We need to say
something. There’s strength in talking about it.
21
There is a group called Stamp Out Stigma…….
This important campaign was launched to reduce the stigma of mental illness and substance use disorders
by talking about them. The name Stamp Out Stigma was selected to describe the campaign’s chief mission:
to defeat the obstructive nature of mental illness and addiction stigma.
Through wearing a visual symbol (wristbands) and sharing our own stories, the campaign will help remove
the stigma of mental illness and addiction and those barriers to health‐seeking behavior.
Green, the campaign color, was chosen because it stands for health and wellbeing.
The three R’s will help us successfully Stamp Out Stigma:
Recognize when you or your loved ones need help. Recognize the signs. Recognize when someone
isn’t getting the help they need. Recognize when stigma is creating a barrier to care. Recognize the
high prevalence of mental illness.
Reeducate others to help them learn there is help and hope. Reeducate yourself and others on
mental and emotional health. Reeducate yourself and others on how to find the path to recovery
and that it is possible for all. Reeducate yourself on resources: What are your current benefits? Who
can you talk to? What can you do?
Reduce stigma. Reduce hesitation to seeking care. Reduce misunderstandings. Reduce bullying and
insensitivity.
The Stamp Out Stigma Pledge
As a supporter to those who have a mental illness or substance abuse disorder, I understand the importance
of recognizing the high prevalence of mental illness and substance use disorders. I also know that when
recognition is coupled with reeducation and understanding, health‐seeking action can be taken. These actions
lead to recovery, which is possible for everyone.
The Three R’s (recognize, reeducate and reduce) depend on each other to effectively Stamp Out Stigma
surrounding mental illness and substance use disorders. This is what I, as an individual, charge myself to do—
to fully Stamp Out Stigma and clear the path to health‐seeking behavior. It begins with me.
It is the goal of Stamp Out Stigma to change perceptions and reduce the stigma of mental illness and
substance use disorders by encouraging people to talk about them.
Mental health and substance use disorder diagnoses are more prevalent than heart disease, diabetes,
arthritis, migraines, osteoporosis and asthma, yet misconception and misinformation have left many
people with mental illness and substance use disorders afraid to talk about their experiences or to seek
help.
Do your part to change that; It’s time to talk about it.

Safer Bug Spray: Natural Bug Repellents
With summer come the mosquito bites. And with the bug bites come the bug‐borne diseases. But while
the threat of West Nile virus or Lyme disease might make you uneasy, so might slathering your kids with a
chemical bug repellent every day. So how do you weigh the risks of the insects with the risks of the
chemicals engineered to keep them away? Is there a natural bug repellent that works?
The good news is that there are some all‐natural bug killers that can keep insects off you, your kids, your
pets, and your garden.
Natural Bug Repellents: What Are the Options?
The bug sprays on the market – including ones with DEET – have been deemed safe by the Environmental
Protection Agency, at least when used as directed.
Still, many parents want to limit their kids’ exposure to potentially toxic chemicals. So what are some
natural bug repellent alternatives?
Soy‐based products. A 2002 study of mosquito repellents found that the soy‐based Bite Blocker for Kids
was the most effective natural alternative to DEET. This natural bug repellent offered more than 90
minutes of protection, better than some low‐concentration DEET products.
Oil of lemon eucalyptus (PMD). This natural oil, which comes from the lemon eucalyptus tree, is
recommended by the CDC as an alternative to DEET. It seems to work really well, but hasn’t got a lot of
attention. Several studies have found this natural bug repellent as effective as DEET in repelling
mosquitoes. It may also work well against ticks. Oil of lemon eucalyptus may be poisonous if ingested in
high quantities. According to the CDC it should not be used on kids under 3.
Other products. Researchers have tested many other so‐called natural bug repellents like citronella,
peppermint oil, and other plant‐based oils. Unfortunately, studies have not found them particularly
effective.
For instance, while catnip seemed promising, a 2005 study showed it significantly less effective than DEET
in preventing mosquito bites. The 2002 study showed that various formulations of citronella could keep
26
mosquitoes at bay, but only for up to an hour. Avon’s Skin‐So‐Soft Bath Oil – long rumored to be an
effective bug repellent – only kept mosquitoes away for 30 minutes or less.
Should I Use DEET?
Given that natural bug repellents like oil of lemon eucalyptus work, should you swear off products with
DEET? Sonya Lunder, MPH, a senior analyst at the Environmental Working Group in Washington D.C, says it
depends on your situation.
“If you’re just dealing with mosquitoes that are a nuisance, natural repellants may be fine, although you
may have to apply them more often,” says Lunder. “But if you’re in an area where mosquitoes are known
to be carrying disease, you may want to go with something really strong like DEET.”
If you do decide to use a DEET insect repellent, do it wisely. Lunder reminds people that DEET is an
insecticide and it can affect the nervous system. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends using
repellents with no more than a 30% concentration of DEET for kids over 2 months. Don't apply insect
repellent to kids younger than 2 months. If you're not going to be outdoors as long, you may want to
choose a repellent with a lower concentration of DEET. A 10% concentration of DEET protects for about
two hours.
If possible, Lunder recommends putting repellents with DEET on your clothing instead of your skin. Look
for a pump spray instead of aerosol, so your child doesn't breathe in as much of the chemical. Don't apply
DEET to your child's hands, and always wash your own hands after touching a DEET insect repellent –
especially before handling food. Wash your child's skin to remove any repellent when they come back
indoors.
Natural Insect Control: Other Ways to Beat the Bugs
Natural bug sprays aren’t the only nontoxic ways that you can fight back against mosquito bites and other
bugs. Here are some other approaches to natural insect control – see which ones work and which don’t.
Long sleeves and pants. Yes, it’s probably obvious. But one good form of natural insect control is to
cover your arms and legs. While a mosquito might be able to get through very thin clothing,
moderately thick fabric will stop them. “No mosquito is going to bite you through a canvass shirt,”
says Lunder.
Fans. Here’s a natural insect control tip. Mosquitoes have trouble maneuvering in wind. So when
you’re sitting out on our porch, think about using a window fan or overhead fan. The mosquitoes
will have trouble getting near you.
Environmental control. Eliminate standing water in your yard, which will prevent mosquitoes from
breeding. Empty bird baths weekly and fill puddles with dirt.
Citronella candles. Despite the lore, citronella candles – or other natural bug repellent candles –
don’t seem to work very well. They could even have risks. “I’d caution people about burning bug‐
repellent products, like citronella candles,” says Lunder. “Inhalation is a very direct form of
exposure, so you’re breathing in whatever chemicals are in the product.”
Bug zappers. Don’t bother. Sure, they may electrocute loads of bugs, but they usually kill beneficial
insects that eat pests or serve as food for birds. One study showed that of all the insects
slaughtered by bug zappers, a mere 0.13% were biting mosquitoes.
Ultrasonic devices. Again, don’t bother. They don’t work.
Traps. Relatively new on the scene, these devices use various methods to attract and then trap
mosquitoes. Many give off carbon dioxide, mimicking a breathing animal or person. While they
certainly do trap mosquitoes, experts aren’t sure how well they control mosquito populations in a
given area. You’ll also have to decide whether the device itself – which might run on a gas‐powered
engine – is preferable to the bugs.
27
Permethrin‐treated products. Permethrin is a kind of chemical repellent that’s added to some
clothing, shoes, and camping gear. While the idea of wearing a shirt treated with an insecticide
might make you uneasy, Lunder points out that it has an advantage.
“It’s not being applied directly on your skin, so it could be a really good option,” she tells WebMD.
However, Lunder cautions that you should probably wash permethrin‐treated clothing separately
from other laundry. Like DEET, permethrin is a neurotoxin that can affect the nervous system. You
may want to weigh using either chemical against the risk of disease‐carrying insects.

Greetings County Colleagues,
Below is a good article/reminder. This may be particularly important for those of you operating a work release, or just in
general for staff working intake and conducting searches. I’ve been hearing a lot about the heroin epidemic, and
additional concerns with fentanyl.
Be safe and have a good weekend.

DEA Warning to Police and Public:
Fentanyl Exposure Kills
Roll Call Video Advises Law Enforcement to Exercise Extreme Caution
DEA has released a Roll Call video to all law enforcement nationwide about the dangers of
improperly handling fentanyl and its deadly consequences. Acting Deputy Administrator Jack Riley
and two local police detectives from New Jersey appear on the video to urge any law enforcement
personnel who come in contact with fentanyl or fentanyl compounds to take the drugs directly to a
lab.
“Fentanyl can kill you,” Riley said. “Fentanyl is being sold as heroin in virtually every corner of our
country. It’s produced clandestinely in Mexico, and (also) comes directly from China. It is 40 to 50
times stronger than street-level heroin. A very small amount ingested, or absorbed through your skin,
can kill you.”
Two Atlantic County, NJ detectives were recently exposed to a very small amount of fentanyl, and
appeared on the video.
Said one detective: “I thought that was it. I thought I was dying. It felt like my body was shutting
down.”
Riley also admonished police to skip testing on the scene, and encouraged them to also remember
potential harm to police canines during the course of duties.
“Don’t field test it in your car, or on the street, or take if back to the office. Transport it directly to a
laboratory, where it can be safely handled and tested.”
The video can be accessed at: http://go.usa.gov/chBWW
More on Fentanyl:
On March 18, 2015, DEA issued a nationwide alert on fentanyl as a threat to health and public safety.
Fentanyl is a dangerous, powerful Schedule II narcotic responsible for an epidemic of overdose
deaths within the United States. During the last two years, the distribution of clandestinely
32
manufactured fentanyl has been linked to an unprecedented outbreak of thousands of overdoses and
deaths. The overdoses are occurring at an alarming rate and are the basis for this officer safety alert.
Fentanyl, up to 50 times more potent than heroin, is extremely dangerous to law enforcement and
anyone else who may come into contact with it. As a result, it represents an unusual hazard for law
enforcement.
Fentanyl, a synthetic opiate painkiller, is being mixed with heroin to increase its potency, but dealers
and buyers may not know exactly what they are selling or ingesting. Many users underestimate the
potency of fentanyl.
The dosage of fentanyl is a microgram, one millionth of a gram – similar to just a few granules of table
salt. Fentanyl can be lethal and is deadly at very low doses.
Fentanyl and its analogues come in several forms including powder, blotter paper, tablets, and spray.
Risks to Law Enforcement
Fentanyl is not only dangerous for the drug’s users, but for law enforcement, public health workers
and first responders who could unknowingly come into contact with it in its different forms. Fentanyl
can be absorbed through the skin or accidental inhalation of airborne powder can also occur. DEA is
concerned about law enforcement coming in contact with fentanyl on the streets during the course of
enforcement, such as a buy-walk, or buy-bust operation.
Just touching fentanyl or accidentally inhaling the substance during enforcement activity or field
testing the substance can result in absorption through the skin and that is one of the biggest dangers
with fentanyl. The onset of adverse health effects, such as disorientation, coughing, sedation,
respiratory distress or cardiac arrest is very rapid and profound, usually occurring within minutes of
exposure.
Canine units are particularly at risk of immediate death from inhaling fentanyl.
In August 2015, law enforcement officers in New Jersey doing a narcotics field test on a substance
that later turned out to be a mix of heroin, cocaine and fentanyl, were exposed to the mixture and
experienced dizziness, shortness of breath and respiratory problems.
If inhaled, move to fresh air, if ingested, wash out mouth with water provided the person is conscious
and seek immediate medical attention.
Narcan (Naloxone), an overdose-reversing drug, is an antidote for opiate overdose and may be
administered intravenously, intramuscularly, or subcutaneously. Immediately administering Narcan
can reverse an accidental overdose of fentanyl exposure to officers. Continue to administer multiple
doses of Narcan until the exposed person or overdose victim responds favorably.
Field Testing / Safety Precautions
Law enforcement officers should be aware that fentanyl and its compounds resemble powered
cocaine or heroin, however, should not be treated as such.
If at all possible do not take samples if fentanyl is suspected. Taking samples or opening a package
could stir up the powder. If you must take a sample, use gloves (no bare skin contact) and a dust
mask or air purifying respirator (APR) if handling a sample, or a self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) for a suspected lab.
If you have reason to believe an exhibit contains fentanyl, it is prudent to not field test it. Submit the
material directly to the laboratory for analysis and clearly indicate on the submission paperwork that
the item is suspected of containing fentanyl. This will alert laboratory personnel to take the necessary
safety precautions during the handling, processing, analysis, and storage of the evidence. Officers
should be aware that while unadulterated fentanyl may resemble cocaine or heroin powder, it can be
mixed with other substances which can alter its appearance. As such, officers should be aware that
fentanyl may be smuggled, transported, and/or used as part of a mixture.
Universal precautions must be applied when conducting field testing on drugs that are not suspected
of containing fentanyl. Despite color and appearance, you can never be certain what you are testing.

In general, field testing of drugs should be conducted as appropriate, in a well ventilated area
according to commercial test kit instructions and training received. Sampling of evidence should be
performed very carefully to avoid spillage and release of powder into the air. At a minimum, gloves
should be worn and the use of masks is recommended. After conducting the test, hands should be
washed with copious amounts of soap and water. Never attempt to identify a substance by taste or
odor.
Historically, this is not the first time fentanyl has posed such a threat to public health and safety.
Between 2005 and 2007, over 1,000 U.S. deaths were attributed to fentanyl – many of which
occurred in Chicago, Detroit, and Philadelphia.
The current outbreak involves not just fentanyl, but also fentanyl compounds. The current outbreak,
resulting in thousands of deaths, is wider geographically and involves a wide array of individuals
including new and experiences abusers.
In the last three years, DEA has seen a significant resurgence in fentanyl-related seizures. In
addition, DEA has identified at least 15 other deadly, fentanyl-related compounds. Some fentanyl
cases have been significant, particularly in the northeast and in California, including one 12 kilogram
seizure. During May 2016, a traffic stop in the greater Atlanta, GA area resulted in the seizure of 40
kilograms of fentanyl – initially believed to be bricks of cocaine – wrapped into blocks hidden in
buckets and immersed in a thick fluid. The fentanyl from these seizures originated from Mexican drug
trafficking organizations.
Recent seizures of counterfeit or look-a-like hydrocodone or oxycodone tablets have occurred,
wherein the tablets actually contain fentanyl. These fentanyl tablets are marked to mimic the
authentic narcotic prescription medications and have led to multiple overdoses and deaths.
According to DEA’s National Forensic Lab Information System, 13,002 forensic exhibits of fentanyl
were tested by labs nationwide in 2015, up 65 percent from the 2014 number of 7,864. The 2015
number is also about 8 times as many fentanyl exhibits than in 2006, when a single lab in Mexico
caused a temporary spike in U.S. fentanyl availability. This is an unprecedented threat.

Greetings County Colleagues,
Below is a good article/reminder. This may be particularly important for those of you operating a work release, or just in
general for staff working intake and conducting searches. I’ve been hearing a lot about the heroin epidemic, and
additional concerns with fentanyl.
Be safe and have a good weekend.

DEA Warning to Police and Public:
Fentanyl Exposure Kills
Roll Call Video Advises Law Enforcement to Exercise Extreme Caution
DEA has released a Roll Call video to all law enforcement nationwide about the dangers of
improperly handling fentanyl and its deadly consequences. Acting Deputy Administrator Jack Riley
and two local police detectives from New Jersey appear on the video to urge any law enforcement
personnel who come in contact with fentanyl or fentanyl compounds to take the drugs directly to a
lab.
“Fentanyl can kill you,” Riley said. “Fentanyl is being sold as heroin in virtually every corner of our
country. It’s produced clandestinely in Mexico, and (also) comes directly from China. It is 40 to 50
times stronger than street-level heroin. A very small amount ingested, or absorbed through your skin,
can kill you.”
Two Atlantic County, NJ detectives were recently exposed to a very small amount of fentanyl, and
appeared on the video.
Said one detective: “I thought that was it. I thought I was dying. It felt like my body was shutting
down.”
Riley also admonished police to skip testing on the scene, and encouraged them to also remember
potential harm to police canines during the course of duties.
“Don’t field test it in your car, or on the street, or take if back to the office. Transport it directly to a
laboratory, where it can be safely handled and tested.”
The video can be accessed at: http://go.usa.gov/chBWW
More on Fentanyl:
On March 18, 2015, DEA issued a nationwide alert on fentanyl as a threat to health and public safety.
Fentanyl is a dangerous, powerful Schedule II narcotic responsible for an epidemic of overdose
deaths within the United States. During the last two years, the distribution of clandestinely
manufactured fentanyl has been linked to an unprecedented outbreak of thousands of overdoses and
deaths. The overdoses are occurring at an alarming rate and are the basis for this officer safety alert.
Fentanyl, up to 50 times more potent than heroin, is extremely dangerous to law enforcement and
anyone else who may come into contact with it. As a result, it represents an unusual hazard for law
enforcement.
37
Fentanyl, a synthetic opiate painkiller, is being mixed with heroin to increase its potency, but dealers
and buyers may not know exactly what they are selling or ingesting. Many users underestimate the
potency of fentanyl.
The dosage of fentanyl is a microgram, one millionth of a gram – similar to just a few granules of table
salt. Fentanyl can be lethal and is deadly at very low doses.
Fentanyl and its analogues come in several forms including powder, blotter paper, tablets, and spray.
Risks to Law Enforcement
Fentanyl is not only dangerous for the drug’s users, but for law enforcement, public health workers
and first responders who could unknowingly come into contact with it in its different forms. Fentanyl
can be absorbed through the skin or accidental inhalation of airborne powder can also occur. DEA is
concerned about law enforcement coming in contact with fentanyl on the streets during the course of
enforcement, such as a buy-walk, or buy-bust operation.
Just touching fentanyl or accidentally inhaling the substance during enforcement activity or field
testing the substance can result in absorption through the skin and that is one of the biggest dangers
with fentanyl. The onset of adverse health effects, such as disorientation, coughing, sedation,
respiratory distress or cardiac arrest is very rapid and profound, usually occurring within minutes of
exposure.
Canine units are particularly at risk of immediate death from inhaling fentanyl.
In August 2015, law enforcement officers in New Jersey doing a narcotics field test on a substance
that later turned out to be a mix of heroin, cocaine and fentanyl, were exposed to the mixture and
experienced dizziness, shortness of breath and respiratory problems.
If inhaled, move to fresh air, if ingested, wash out mouth with water provided the person is conscious
and seek immediate medical attention.
Narcan (Naloxone), an overdose-reversing drug, is an antidote for opiate overdose and may be
administered intravenously, intramuscularly, or subcutaneously. Immediately administering Narcan
can reverse an accidental overdose of fentanyl exposure to officers. Continue to administer multiple
doses of Narcan until the exposed person or overdose victim responds favorably.
Field Testing / Safety Precautions
Law enforcement officers should be aware that fentanyl and its compounds resemble powered
cocaine or heroin, however, should not be treated as such.
If at all possible do not take samples if fentanyl is suspected. Taking samples or opening a package
could stir up the powder. If you must take a sample, use gloves (no bare skin contact) and a dust
mask or air purifying respirator (APR) if handling a sample, or a self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) for a suspected lab.
If you have reason to believe an exhibit contains fentanyl, it is prudent to not field test it. Submit the
material directly to the laboratory for analysis and clearly indicate on the submission paperwork that
the item is suspected of containing fentanyl. This will alert laboratory personnel to take the necessary
safety precautions during the handling, processing, analysis, and storage of the evidence. Officers
should be aware that while unadulterated fentanyl may resemble cocaine or heroin powder, it can be
mixed with other substances which can alter its appearance. As such, officers should be aware that
fentanyl may be smuggled, transported, and/or used as part of a mixture.
Universal precautions must be applied when conducting field testing on drugs that are not suspected
of containing fentanyl. Despite color and appearance, you can never be certain what you are testing.
In general, field testing of drugs should be conducted as appropriate, in a well ventilated area
according to commercial test kit instructions and training received. Sampling of evidence should be
performed very carefully to avoid spillage and release of powder into the air. At a minimum, gloves
should be worn and the use of masks is recommended. After conducting the test, hands should be
38
washed with copious amounts of soap and water. Never attempt to identify a substance by taste or
odor.
Historically, this is not the first time fentanyl has posed such a threat to public health and safety.
Between 2005 and 2007, over 1,000 U.S. deaths were attributed to fentanyl – many of which
occurred in Chicago, Detroit, and Philadelphia.
The current outbreak involves not just fentanyl, but also fentanyl compounds. The current outbreak,
resulting in thousands of deaths, is wider geographically and involves a wide array of individuals
including new and experiences abusers.
In the last three years, DEA has seen a significant resurgence in fentanyl-related seizures. In
addition, DEA has identified at least 15 other deadly, fentanyl-related compounds. Some fentanyl
cases have been significant, particularly in the northeast and in California, including one 12 kilogram
seizure. During May 2016, a traffic stop in the greater Atlanta, GA area resulted in the seizure of 40
kilograms of fentanyl – initially believed to be bricks of cocaine – wrapped into blocks hidden in
buckets and immersed in a thick fluid. The fentanyl from these seizures originated from Mexican drug
trafficking organizations.
Recent seizures of counterfeit or look-a-like hydrocodone or oxycodone tablets have occurred,
wherein the tablets actually contain fentanyl. These fentanyl tablets are marked to mimic the
authentic narcotic prescription medications and have led to multiple overdoses and deaths.
According to DEA’s National Forensic Lab Information System, 13,002 forensic exhibits of fentanyl
were tested by labs nationwide in 2015, up 65 percent from the 2014 number of 7,864. The 2015
number is also about 8 times as many fentanyl exhibits than in 2006, when a single lab in Mexico
caused a temporary spike in U.S. fentanyl availability. This is an unprecedented threat.

4 Ways to Strengthen Weak Ankles
Ankles: they get so little attention, yet they do so much. Strong, flexible ankles allow you to walk, run,
jump, and dance. But should this humble joint start grumbling, you'll find that just getting around the
house can be agony.
6
"It's important to recognize that sore ankles happen for many reasons," says Alexandra Page, MD, an
orthopedic surgeon and American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) spokesperson who
specializes in foot and ankle surgery.
Tendonitis and arthritis are two common sources of ankle pain that you may be able to manage through
diligent stretching and strengthening. To address these concerns—and to help prevent ankle trouble in
the first place—these 4 simple, effective exercises will keep your ankles happy.
1. Ankle Circles
This move will strengthen the muscles in and around your ankle, improving the joint's stability. Sit on a
chair and extend your right leg, knee straight. Move your right foot clockwise 10 to 20 times, rest your leg
for 5 seconds, and raise it again and move your foot counterclockwise the same number of reps. Alternate
legs, doing 3 to 4 sets per side.
You can add some variety to this move, says Paula Xavier, a trainer with NYC's Naturally Intense studio and
three‐time Best of Manhattan Awards winner for personal training. Try moving your foot up and down (as
if pressing a gas pedal), or from side to side (like windshield wipers). These moves will help improve your
range of motion. Again, 10 to 20 reps for 3 to 4 sets
2. Dorsiflexion Stretch
It's a big word, but dorsiflexion simply means bringing your toes closer to your shin. This stretch will help
protect the muscles and tendons in your ankle.
Sit on the floor with your right leg straight, the left crossed in front of you. The sole of your left foot should
rest against the inside of your right leg. Place a towel or band around the ball of the right foot and gently
pull your toes back toward you.
You'll feel the stretch in your thigh, calf, and Achilles tendon, says Xavier. Hold for 15 seconds. Repeat the
stretch 4 times, then switch legs.
"This shouldn't feel painful," Xavier warns. "It should be a mild to moderate stretch."
3. Write the Alphabet
Tracing out the alphabet with your big toe is a challenging strength exercise for your ankle, says Xavier.
Seated in a chair, hold your right leg straight out in front. Using your big toe as the "pen," write the
alphabet in all capital letters first, then repeat the process with lower case letters; switch feet and repeat.
4. Achilles Stretches
Page warns that age‐related changes in the Achilles tendon can raise the risk of rupturing this big tendon
at the back of your ankle. By doing regular Achilles stretches, you can improve its flexibility.
From a standing position, step back with one leg, keeping that back leg straight (grounding the heel), and
pushing the hips forward while bending the knee of the front leg at about a 45 degree angle. Hold for 15 to
30 seconds and switch legs; repeat 2 to 4 sets on each leg.

Warden Smith,
I would like to donate a weight bench to the Prison gym. It is currently still in the box. It has never been used. If
approved I will place it in the maintenance shop for those guys to put together. I will also send them an email.

Warden Smith,
This is just a reminder concerning the need to repair the boots that we have stored. These boots could be fixed and
returned into inventory so they can be issued to the inmates.
It is my understanding that Huntingdon SCI is able and ready to repair the boots. We are only waiting to have boots
shipped to the institution.
Attached is the chart that documents the number and sizes of boots that need to be repaired.

Make your own vitamin C at home, and make it better than any store‐bought vitamin C.
By Dr. Ian Shillington
Vitamin C Recipe
You can make your very own vitamin C supplement that is ten times better than anything you could buy in
a store at NO EXTRA COST TO YOU!
Does it have a 1,000 mg of vitamin C per dosage? Nope. Does it have the USRDA amount per dosage? Not
at all. Has it been approved by the FDA? Absolutely not!
What homemade vitamin C does have is live enzymes that allow the vitamin C to be 100% assimilated into
your body. It has its own natural source of rutin, hesperidin, and bioflavonoids. It’s easily acquired, easy to
make, and even tastes good, too. It’s just orange & lemon peels.
It’s that easy.
Any organic orange or lemon peels left over from the fruit you buy will do the trick. Save all of your peels
after you eat the inside of the fruit and cut them into thin strips. Place them on a plate on your dining room
table and let them dry at room temperature for a couple of days until dry and crisp. You can also dehydrate
the peels with a food dehydrator and then store them for about a year in a dry container. For
1
consumption, one idea is to break up peels into smaller pieces and mix them with your favorite tea. This
makes the tea taste great, but the downside to this approach is that heat destroys the enzymes. A better
option is to place the peel strips into your coffee grinder and grind them into a powder (which won’t hurt
the enzymes) and use to mix with your early morning smoothie. One rounded teaspoon will supply you
with more organic vitamin C complex, rutin, hesperidin, and bioflavonoids than your body needs for the
day, regardless of your size. And this homemade citrus peel powder mixed in your blender with some fresh
organic apple juice tastes good too.

Commissioner Pipe,
I wanted to make sure you know that the PREA Audit will be held at CCCF on June 8 and 9, 2016.
The Auditor is requesting to meet with you in the afternoon of June 9, 2016 at the facility for an Exit
Conference to receive the preliminary results of the audit.
If, by chance, your schedule doesn’t permit your attendance we will need one of the other
Commissioners. If you let me know what your schedule looks like that afternoon it will help me
coordinate this Extremely important meeting.
Thank You,
Rick

Strange places to look for skin cancer
As the most common cancer in the United States, skin cancer attracts lots of media exposure, especially
during the sun‐kissed summer months. But here's a fact that often escapes notice: Melanoma can surface
in some of the most unusual places. Like under your toenails. Or behind your ears.
Many of us know that cancerous spots can appear in areas that get direct sun, like the face, arms and neck.
But body parts that aren't so visible, or as closely inspected, can also harbor unseen spots that may go
undetected and, therefore, escape early intervention. "Under the nails is a very concerning area, especially
with the common use of gel manicures," which use a product that hardens by curing under ultraviolet
lamps, says Dr. Laura Farrington, Medical Oncologist at our hospital outside Chicago. "The direct exposure
of UV rays to the hands and nails, especially regularly, may increase the risk of melanoma and other skin
cancers in those areas."
Even the bottoms of your feet, palms of your hands and your eyelids can be vulnerable to skin cancer.
Likewise, your scalp, underarms and groin may not see much of the sun, but cancer can develop there, too.
Routine checkups are key to early intervention, Dr. Farrington says. "The scalp is actually a common site
for melanomas," she says. "It is also important to have regular gynecological exams, because even though
the pelvic area does not have much exposure to the sun, melanoma can still occur, and it may be difficult
to check yourself."
5
For hard‐to‐see body parts, try using a hand mirror or asking your loved ones for help. Your hairdresser can
also prove instrumental in checking your scalp and behind your ears during your regular visits. If you get
massages, ask your therapist to look for unusual moles, spots or patches, especially on your back. See your
doctor if anything changes or looks suspicious.
Skin cancer affects people of all demographics, regardless of their skin color or pigmentation. That's why it
is important that everyone wears sunscreen, including African‐Americans, who "can still get melanoma,
although the risk is lower," says Dr. Laurence Altshuler , Director of Oncology Intake Services at our
hospital in Tulsa. While you're slathering on the sunscreen, remember the bottoms of your feet and hands,
and take care to cover the beds of your toenails and fingernails, too. "Most people don't think to put
sunscreen there," says Dr. Altshuler. And don't assume that tattoos will serve as sun protection. "You still
have to wear sunscreen," he adds. "Tattoos do not protect against skin cancer. But they can hide skin
cancers, so they should not be placed over moles."
To help protect yourself and your loved ones, remember these sun‐safety tips:
Wear broad‐spectrum sunblock with a minimum sun protection factor (SPF) of 15, (preferrably with
natural ingredients) and reapply every two hours, as all sunscreens deteriorate after that time. If you are
swimming, reapply more often. Don't forget your lips, eyelids, between your fingers and toes and behind
your ears.
Help your kids apply and reapply the sunblock, "because even one sunburn as a child can increase the risk
for skin cancer," says Dr. Farrington.
Avoid the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., when rays are strongest.
Stay in the shade. If you have to be out in the sun during high‐intensity hours, seek the cover of trees or
other protective sun barriers.
Wear protective clothing such as wide‐brim hats, sunglasses, long‐sleeve shirts and pants.
Get yearly skin exams by a physician, especially if your family has a history of skin cancer.

Hi Jeff,
I know you must be busy getting ready for the PREA inspection next week.
I just wanted to let you know that I've gotten two requests in the last two weeks from inmates wanting warm clothing.
One was "Laird" in housing unit A1, who said he was indigent (I think I told you about this one). More recently Travis
Henry in A3 is cold‐‐he didn't say if he was indigent or not but he wanted both a sweatshirt and sweatpants. I hope you
can resolve these issues.
Best wishes,
Janet

Fact or Fiction ?
Regarding Your Eyes and Vision
Eating Carrots Will Improve Your Vision
Fact: Carrots are high in vitamin A, a nutrient essential for good vision. Eating carrots will provide you with
the small amount of vitamin A needed for good vision, but vitamin A isn't limited to rabbit food; it can also
be found in milk, cheese, egg yolk, and liver.
Sitting Too Close to the TV Will Damage Your Vision
Fiction: Sitting closer than necessary to the television may give you a headache, but it will not damage your
vision. Children, especially if they're nearsighted, may do this to see the TV more clearly. They may, in fact,
need glasses.
Reading in the Dark Will Weaken Your Eyesight
Fiction: As with sitting too close to the television, you may feel eyestrain or get a headache from reading in
the dark, but it will not weaken your eyes.
Using Glasses or Contacts Will Weaken My Eyesight, and My Eyes Will Eventually Become Dependent On
Them
Fiction: Your eyes will not grow weaker as a result of using corrective lenses. Your prescription may change
over time due to aging or the presence of disease, but it is not because of your current prescription.
Children With Crossed Eyes Can Be Treated
12
Fact: Children are not able to outgrow strabismus ‐‐ the medical term for crossed eyes ‐‐ on their own but,
with help, it can be more easily corrected at a younger age. That's why it is important for your child to have
an eye exam early, first when your child is an infant and then again by age two.
There's Nothing You Can Do to Prevent Vision Loss
Fiction: At the very first sign of symptoms, such as blurred vision, eye pain, flashes of light, or sudden onset
of floaters in your vision, you should see your doctor. If detected early enough, depending on the cause,
there are treatments that can correct, stop, or at least slow down the loss of vision.
Using a Nightlight in Your Child's Room Will Contribute to Nearsightedness
Fiction: It has been thought that using a nightlight in your child's bedroom may contribute to
nearsightedness, however there is not enough evidence to support this claim. Keeping a nightlight on in
your baby's room may actually help them learn to focus and develop important eye coordination skills
when they are awake.
Looking Straight at the Sun Will Damage Your Sight
Fact: Looking at the sun may not only cause headache and distort your vision temporarily, but it can also
cause permanent eye damage. Any exposure to sunlight adds to the cumulative effects of ultraviolet
radiation on your eyes. UV exposure has been linked to eye disorders such as macular degeneration, solar
retinitis, and corneal dystrophies. The most dangerous time for sun gazing is during a solar eclipse. The
brightness of the sun is hidden; but the dangerous invisible rays that permanently burn your eyes are not
reduced.
Using Artificial Sweeteners Will Make Your Eyes More Sensitive to Light
Fact: If you use artificial sweeteners, like cyclamates, your eyes may be more sensitive to light. There are
other factors that will make your eyes more sensitive to light as well.
They include antibiotics, oral contraceptives, high blood pressure drugs, diuretics, and diabetic
medications.

Concentration Killers….
Today's world is full of concentration killers. Psychologist Lucy Jo Palladino, PhD offers a few tips to
manage distractions, starting with social media.
Culprit: Social Media
It's easy to connect with friends ‐‐ and disconnect from work ‐‐ many times an hour. Every status update
zaps your train of thought, forcing you to backtrack when you resume work.
Social Media Fix
Avoid logging in to social media sites while you're working. If you feel compelled to check in every now
and then, do it during breaks, when the steady stream of posts won't interrupt your concentration. If you
can't resist logging in more frequently, take your laptop someplace where you won't have Internet access
for a few hours.

Culprit: Email Overload
There's something about an email ‐‐ it shoots into your inbox and itches to be answered immediately.
Although many emails are work‐related, they still count as distractions from your current project. You
won't make much progress if you constantly stop what you're doing to reply to every message.
Email Overload Fix
Instead of checking email continuously, set aside specific times for that purpose. During the rest of the
day, you can actually shut down your email program. This allows you to carve out blocks of time when you
can work uninterrupted.
Culprit: Your Cell Phone
Perhaps even more disruptive than the ping of an email is the ringtone on your cell phone. It's a sound few
of us can ignore. But taking a call not only costs you the time you spend talking ‐‐ it can also cut off your
momentum on the task at hand.
Cell Phone Fix
Put caller ID to good use. If you suspect the call is not urgent, let it go to voicemail. If you're working on a
particularly intense project, consider silencing your phone so you're not tempted to answer. Choose
specific times to check voicemail. Listening to all your messages at once can be less disruptive than taking
every call as it comes in.
Culprit: Multitasking
If you've mastered the art of multitasking, you probably feel you're getting more done in less time. Think
again, experts say. Research suggests you lose time whenever you shift your attention from one task to
another. The end result is that doing three projects simultaneously usually takes longer than doing them
one after the other.
Multitasking Fix
Whenever possible, devote your attention to one project at a time, particularly if you're working on an
intense or high‐priority task. Save your multitasking skills for chores that are not urgent or demanding ‐‐ it
probably won't hurt to tidy up your desk while talking on the phone.
Culprit: Boredom
Some of the tasks we have to do each day are more interesting than others. The boring ones may burn
through your attention span in minutes, making you extremely vulnerable to distractions. Your phone, the
Internet, even the prospect of dusting your workspace can seem tempting if you're bored.
Boredom Fix
Make a deal with yourself: If you stay on task for a certain period of time, you earn a 10‐minute break.
Reward yourself with coffee, a favorite snack, or a walk outside. Boring tasks are easier to accomplish
when you have something to look forward to. This is also one case where multitasking may work well.
Listening to the radio while filing receipts could help you stay put long enough to finish the job.
Culprit: Nagging Thoughts
It's hard to focus on the work in front of you if you're worrying about errands you need to run or
housework to be done. Or perhaps you're hung up on a conversation you had yesterday, and you keep
replaying it in your mind. Nagging thoughts of any sort can be a powerful distraction.
Nagging Thoughts Fix
One way to keep nagging thoughts from buzzing around in your brain is to write them down. Make a list of
errands, housework, or other tasks you plan to complete later. Vent frustrations over an unpleasant
2
confrontation in your journal. Once these thoughts are on paper, you may be able to let them go for a
while.
Culprit: Stress
When you feel like you have too much on your plate, it can be hard to focus on individual tasks. To make
matters worse, stress takes a noticeable toll on the body. You may develop tight shoulders, headaches, or
a racing heart, all of which can chip away at your ability to concentrate.
Stress Fix
Learn stress reduction techniques, such as meditation. This can help you rein in stressful thoughts, so they
don't demand so much of your attention. In one study, researchers found that people who took an eight‐
week meditation course improved their ability to focus. If you can't find a meditation class locally, look for
one online.
Culprit: Fatigue
Fatigue can make it tough to concentrate, even when you have few distractions. Studies suggest too little
sleep can sap your attention span and short‐term memory.
Fatigue Fix
Most adults need 7‐9 hours of sleep per night. Instead of burning the midnight oil, make sleep a priority.
This will help you get more done during your waking hours. Also, pay attention to which times of day you
feel most alert. Then you'll know when to schedule your most intense tasks.
Culprit: Hunger
The brain can't focus without fuel, so skipping meals ‐‐ especially breakfast ‐‐ is a top concentration killer.
Research indicates short‐term memory and attention suffer when you rise and shine but do not dine.
Hunger Fix
Keep hunger at bay and give your brain a steady source of fuel with these habits:
Always eat breakfast.
Eat high‐protein snacks (cheese, nuts)
Skip simple carbs (sweets, white pasta)
Choose complex carbs (whole grains)
Culprit: Depression
Most people tend to think of sadness as the hallmark of depression. But the National Institute of Mental
Health says difficulty concentrating is one of the most common symptoms. If you're having trouble
focusing, and you also feel empty, hopeless, or indifferent, you may be experiencing depression.
Depression Fix
If you think you might be depressed, the first step is to talk with a doctor or counselor. Depression is highly
treatable. Many studies have shown the effectiveness of antidepressant medications and certain types of
talk therapy.
Culprit: Medication
Unfortunately, some of the medications used to treat depression can interfere with concentration. The
same is true of many other drugs. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist to check if a medication or
supplement you are taking may be affecting your concentration.
Medication Fix
If you suspect your meds are clouding your concentration, don't assume there are no other options. Talk
to your doctor about adjusting your dosage or switching to a different class of medication. Do not stop
taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
3
Culprit: ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is not just a problem for children. More than half of kids
with ADHD continue to experience symptoms as adults. The classic signs are a short attention span and
trouble focusing on tasks.
ADHD Fix
If you have consistent trouble focusing, and you had attention problems as a child, ask a doctor or
counselor about ADHD. There are ways to manage the condition, including behavioral therapy and
medications.

Sir, I was hoping I could get approved to have July 15th off. There are already five officers who requested off. I am going
to see my sister in Colorado whom I haven’t seen in over a year and I would be returning on the 15th late. I would really
appreciate being able to get the 15th off and it would mean a lot to my sister. If you could please let me know what your
decision is I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,

Re Emphasis and Enforcement of Policy #124 and Inmate Handbook
Policy #124 5-31-2016.pdf; Receipt for Staff Policy #124 5-31-2016.pdf
All:
There have been some complaints made to Administration as well as the Human Resources Department
concerning some behavior and actions by some staff members at the facility.
Attached you will find Policy #124 Standards of Conduct and Work Rules. This is to inform all staff that the
policy will be enforced and discipline for those not following the policy will be issued as deemed
necessary. Everyone will be accountable for following the policy and no one is exempt from discipline. This
means all departments and all personnel.
I want to draw your attention to page 4, number 12:
Personal Conduct: Employees shall, in the performance of their duties, be respectful, courteous, and
considerate toward all staff members, inmates, and general public. Employees
shall not use terminology that
disrespects the dignity or violates the human rights of others. This is to include the use of profanity, expletives,
gestures, taunting, name calling, or abusive language. Employees shall not use unjustified physical force,
threats, or intimidation toward any person.
One of the more common issues in the complaints is the use of profanity, expletives. It is not uncommon for
profanity and expletives to be heard during arguments or normal conversations. Remember that it is against
policy to use such language. Even though the one you are talking to may not be offended, others could also be
offended and you never know who can be within earshot of a conversation that you think may be private. The
policy does not state that it is only a violation if someone is offended; using the language is the
violation. However, offending someone may escalate the situation and bring other policies and issues into
play.
This is going to be a cultural change because the language is not uncommon within the correctional setting. But
the policy will be enforced and all are expected to follow it. We cannot go back in time and change what has
happened in the past. We can only move forward and all must know that inappropriate behavior will not be
accepted or ignored from this point on.
This will be covered in muster for five days and all departments will be addressed by their supervisors as well
because it is important and that not everyone attends muster.
There will be a Form in the Shift Commander’s Office that everyone must sign stating that they received this email, they had a chance to ask questions and get clarification, and understand that this will be enforced. Unless
you are off work for an extended time, all employees have 5 days from this e-mail to sign the form.
Contact your supervisor or speak with an administrator if you have any questions or concerns.

One of the more common issues in the complaints is the use of profanity, expletives. It is not uncommon for
profanity and expletives to be heard during arguments or normal conversations. Remember that it is against
policy to use such language. Even though the one you are talking to may not be offended, others could also be
offended and you never know who can be within earshot of a conversation that you think may be private. The
policy does not state that it is only a violation if someone is offended; using the language is the
violation. However, offending someone may escalate the situation and bring other policies and issues into
play.
This is going to be a cultural change because the language is not uncommon within the correctional setting. But
the policy will be enforced and all are expected to follow it. We cannot go back in time and change what has
happened in the past. We can only move forward and all must know that inappropriate behavior will not be
accepted or ignored from this point on.
This will be covered in muster for five days and all departments will be addressed by their supervisors as well
because it is important and that not everyone attends muster.
There will be a sign-up sheet in the Shift Commander’s Office that everyone must sign stating that they
received this e-mail, they had a chance to ask questions and get clarification, and understand that this will be
enforced. Unless you are off work for an extended time, all employees have 5 days from this e-mail to sign the
form.
Contact your supervisor or speak with an administrator if you have any questions or concerns.

Preparations for Initial Contract Negotiation Meeting June 6, 2016
Dee,
Melanie and I are discussing the initial meeting at the Penn Stater on Monday, June 6, 2016. We are
requesting to know what your expectations are regarding what information/data that is expected?
Is this simply a Meet and Greet time to discuss how the negotiating process will be handled or
Will we inform the Union what areas of the contract we see that we are interested in
reworking/revamping/ etc.?
Is there any specific data or reports that you want us to prepare for this meeting?
We want to be properly prepared to meet your expectations and have a productive meeting.
Thank You,
Rick

AND NOW, comes the plaintiff, David D. Rainelli Jr., Pro Se, who files the following petition
for Writ of Mandamus and avers as follows:
I. I am currently incarcerated at the Centre County Correctional facility, Bellefonte
Centre County.
2. The defendant is Warden Richard C. Smith, warden of Centre County Correctional Facility
(hereafter
3. On 12/29/20l 5 was issued a ?major misconduct? with a misconduct number lS-U66l. See
attachment ?A-l
4. Within seven days three employees held a hearing to determine guilty or innocent of the
charges listed on attachment A.
5. Lieutenant Millander was the hearing examiner along with Counselor Mcghee and Corrections
Officer Reffener.
6. The aforementioned examiners found me guilty and I timely appealed to the
prison review committee, consisting of Deputy Warden Koleno and Deputy Warden
Hite. See attachment
7. Upon Hite and Koleno?s ?nding of guilt I timely appealed to Warden Richard C.
Smith on an ?Inmate request form? pursuant to the rules of the inmate handbook. This
is where Due Process broke down for a second time as there has been no formal or
written response from Warden smith in over 72 days despite numerous attempts by
myself through Deputy Warden Koleno.
8. This unnecessary delay has prevented me from an appeal to the ?nal adjudication to the
Centre County Prison Board. Without a written response from warden smith 1 cannot
?Exhaust? all remedies. I rely upon ERNEST BANKS, R., Petitioner v.
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS and CHIEF HEARING EXAMINER,
COMMONWEALTH COURT OF A.2d 432; 2000 Pa.
Commw. LEXIS 535 Plaintiff prisoner filed a writ of habeas corpus, which requested
that the court order defendants, prison and prison of?cial, to provide him a copy of their
decision regarding the ?nal appeal review of the disciplinary charges which were ?led
against him in prison. Subsequently, defendants ?led a preliminary objection claiming
that. the district court had no jurisdiction over decisions issued by the intra-prison
disciplinary board. Plaintiffs writ of mandamus, which requested the court to order
prison and prison official to provide him copy of their decision, was granted because
defendants? administrative directive required them to provide plaintiff with their
decision.? OUTCOME: The court denied defendants prison and prison official?s
preliminary objection to plaintiff prisoner's writ of habeas corpus and held that because
defendants' administrative directive required them to provide plaintiff with the ?nal
appeal review of misconduct charges ?led against him while in prison, they were
required to follow the directive. Mandamus is an eXtraordinazy writ that is available
only to compel a ministerial duty where there exists: 1) a clear legal right in the
plaintiff; 2) a corresponding duty in the defendant; and 3) the lack of any other
adequate and appropriate remedy. Feigley v. Department of Corrections, 731 A.2d
(Pa. Commw. 1999). It will lie against an agency when it does not comply with the
procedural requirements of its own regulations. Donnell v. Board Of
Probation and Parole, 61 Pa. Commw. 517, 434 A.2d 846 (Pa. Commw. 1989). See
also Weaver v. Board ofProbalion and Parole, 688 A.2d 766 (Pa.
Commw. 1997).
9. I simply ask the Court to compel Warden Smith to give me an answer in writing.

Re: White House Initiative: Using Data to Safely Reduce Incarceration and Improve

I think we must take a serious look at this initiative. We need to look at these 169 people. In our Community 3
incarceration a is troubling. I would like to be involved.

Warden Smith, Deputy Gordon, and Director Hite:
Information on a White House Initiative aimed at Using Data to Safely Reduce Incarceration and Improve
Outcomes was recently passed on to me from the commissioners’ office. This initiative is described in the
attached DDJ summary and the attached PowerPoint titled Team Data Slides. Apparently the federal
government is looking to “Partner with cities, counties, and states willing to adopt voluntary, data-driven
approaches to improve public health and safety and reduce unnecessary incarceration”.
The initiative cites two key populations which local systems struggle to address and which account for a
lot of the overcrowding in jail jurisdictions. These populations are
1. “Super-utilizers,” who are often chronically homeless individuals, with mental illness, substance
abuse and health problems who repeatedly cycle through multiple systems, including jails,
hospital emergency rooms, shelters and other services; and
2. People held in jail before trial on low-level, non-violent misdemeanors because they cannot afford
to bond out, not because they are a risk to the community or a risk of flight.
With regard to Category 1, we recently reviewed a report that Melanie ran on the number of commitments
for the period 1/1/2013 through 12/31/2015 and determined there were 169 individuals committed 3 or
more times during that three-year period. They would be ”frequent fliers” but I don’t know if I would
categorize them as “Super-utilizers”, which the DDJ Summary gave an example of in New York where
473 Super-utilizers were each admitted to jail 18 times or more over a five-year period and where "85% of
them were charged with misdemeanors or violations, 21% had a serious mental illness and 99.4% had a
substance use disorder”.
I don’t think we ever took a detailed look at those in Category 2. My initial thought is that we don’t have a
lot of people in this category, but that’s just a gut feeling. If we wanted to, how would we identify people
being held “before trial on low-level, non-violent misdemeanors because they cannot afford to bond
out?” Is there a report in the OMS that could be run to identify inmates being held pretrial that would
include what they are charged with and the amount of bail set by the MDJ? If there is such a report then
we could manually go through the list generated to get a count of how many people might fall under this
category.
Communities wishing to take part “should be willing to address the following three goals: (1) creating or
expanding real or near-real time local data exchanges which combine justice, health or other system
2
data, as appropriate and consistent with applicable legal and privacy protections, to enable identification
of multiple system “super-utilizers;” (2) diverting this population from the criminal justice system prior to
arrest, where appropriate, and linking them to care management or other community-based services; and
(3) implementing data-driven risk assessment tools to ensure decisions on pre-trial release are informed
by empirically-validated methods of gauging defendants’ risk to the community, not ability to pay or other
extraneous information.
Anyway, before responding to the commissioners whether this is an initiative we want to get involved with
I wanted to get your impressions. You now know as much about it as I do. Thoughts?

I spoke with DW Koleno regarding my holiday schedule. Could you please clarify if I
am scheduled to work on Monday, May 30th? I know we haven’t really figured out this

made new ones and left them in the Warden’s office for him to sign and scan down to you
tomorrow. Sorry if they are doubles.
We’ll then send the other 5 part‐time reqs when the full‐time promotions are put before the board.
That will make 12 PT slots for hire in the end. I believe Sam and I are on the same page at the moment
with the candidates for hire. I sent one more “no” yesterday. Denise is going to ty a few one last time,
and if still no response I’ll know by Tuesday how many candidates are moving on to 2nd round interviews
so we can get moving there.
Thanks,
Melanie

Our volunteers are all set up. We’re good to start tonight, Cox and Ayers will be reporting at 6p here to gear up and head
down 7p‐7a. After that they’ll have what they need to use their own cars back and forth from home if they want. Corl
and Goss will be in at 6a for the same.
The Lieutenants are looking at what needs to be back‐filled for their shifts through Saturday and calling around in the
appropriate usual order now. It’s moving right along.

All,
Inmate Jerry Keith has been hospitalized in Altoona. With the inherent difficulties of a longer travel time to this hospital
and back, we are seeking volunteers for special assignment to cover these shifts on an ongoing basis until the inmate's
status changes.
We are seeking 6 volunteers for special assignment to hospital duty that would work 12 hour shifts at the Altoona hospital
plus paid travel time. We need 3 volunteers to work 7a-7p shifts and 3 volunteers to work 7p-7a shifts.
The volunteers for this special assignment would work a pattern of four days on, two days off in rotation with one
another at the hospital and would not be scheduled on their routine rotation/shift/post until the conclusion of this
assignment.
As example:
Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tues

Travel time to and from the hospital would be paid time. Officers on this special assignment may choose to report directly
to the hospital in their own vehicle from home rather than coming to the facility first. If this is done, the officer will be
paid the 1 hour travel time to/from the hospital and mileage equivalent to the distance from CCCF to Altoona Hospital.
Any meals purchased during the hospital duty by the officers is eligible for County reimbursement. Receipts will need to
be turned in to Brenda McKinley, who can get you the appropriate form to submit.
16
Volunteers will be assigned in order of seniority. Due to Mr. Keith being a male inmate, we cannot have more than one
female per shift. If more than one female per shift signs up for this special assignment, seniority will rule. Volunteers
must be transport/firearms qualified due to the shift being hospital duty.
Lt. Millinder and I are going to begin calling individuals by seniority list order in a few minutes so that we can hopefully
speak to each person as soon as possible to begin the 12‐hour shifts. Please begin to consider if you are interested in
this so we can speak to everyone in turn shortly.

So far we have 2 volunteers (Waite and Ty Corl). We are trying to look ahead if the inmate comes
back on Friday. In this E mail trail you see the Officer (Mark Waite) what if question along with
Deputy Gordon’s options as she sees it. I could do more when in the private sector but I think we
are limited at my Rank. Your feelings when considering how to handle eventually placing him
back into the regular schedule?
Thank You,
Rick

How concerned are we about hitting 40 hours? Give the option of using leave time to meet it? Allow them to go
unpaid? Use them on shift to get to 40? Let the officer choose?

Waite took the Thursday, Friday off Officer 3 option. He was originally off Saturday, Sunday, Monday. If we put him back
on normal he will not have his hours for the week.

We put them back on their shift to make the most sense in their schedule to get hours for the week

10 Things to Know About Your Child's Sleep
Why Your Kids Needs Their ZZZs
It's not just to keep them from getting cranky! Little bodies need slumber to grow and stay healthy. Their
muscles, including the heart, repair themselves during sleep.
Sleep also controls the signals that tell your kid if he/she's hungry or full, which helps keep them at a good
weight.
Sleep Boosts the Brain
While your kids are dreamland, their brain stores memories from the day so they can recall them later.
That's a key part of learning.
Your child also needs sleep to help them pay attention in school. If he/she gets their shut‐eye, they will get
their work done faster and with fewer mistakes.
1
How Much Sleep Does My Child Need?
Kids need more snooze‐time than you do. Got a toddler? He should get 11 to 14 hours of total sleep in a day.
Three‐ to 5‐year‐olds need a little less ‐‐ about 11 to 13 hours. If your child is 6 to 13, he should get 9 to 11
hours of ZZZs. Teens need 8 to 10 hours, but how much sleep they actually get is another story.
Does My Child Need a Nap?
How much your kid snoozes during the day depends on how much they sleep at night.
Your toddler may get most of their 13 hours after the sun goes down, or they may get 8 after dark and
make up the rest with naps.
Most kids stop their daytime napping by age 5. If your child still does it at that age he/she might need an
earlier bedtime.
If your teen takes an afternoon siesta, it's a sure sign they are not getting enough sleep at night.
How Do I Get My Kid to Bed?
Bedtime doesn't have to be a battle! Stick to a routine, even on the weekends. It can include a soothing
bath, brushing teeth, and going to the bathroom, but it should always end in the bedroom.
Plan an enjoyable wind‐down activity before sleep, such as reading by dim light. Make sure the bedroom is
dark, cool, quiet, and screen‐free.
For problem sleepers, reserve the bed for shut‐eye only ‐‐ no reading, homework, or playing games.
Can My Teen Get to Sleep on Time?
It's not "mission impossible," but let's face it, it's not easy either. Your teen's inner clock pushes him/her to
go to bed late at night and sleep in the next morning.
2
Dim the lights at night, whether they are ready for bed or not. Keep the bedroom cool. And though it
sounds like a no‐brainer, tell your teen to unplug ‐‐ turn off the TV, cell phone, and computer.
On weekends, tell them not to sleep later than 2 hours past her weekday wake‐up time.
Does My Kid Sleep Enough?
You'll know your child gets regular rest if he can nod off 15 to 30 minutes after he goes to bed at night. In
the mornings, he'll wake up easily when it's time to get up. You won't have to go back to his room over
and over to make sure he's out of bed. More signs he probably gets enough sleep: He doesn't snooze in
school and doesn't need naps.
Could It Be a Sleep Disorder?
Most of the time your kid's shut‐eye woes are just part of growing up. But sometimes there's a medical
condition that's behind the trouble. Watch for snoring, long pauses between breaths, or trouble breathing
while he's asleep. He might need to be checked for sleep apnea.
Sleepwalking, nightmares, or bed‐wetting could also be signs of a sleep disorder. Check with your
pediatrician to find out what you can do.
Is It ADHD or Not Enough Sleep?
Grown‐ups and kids don't act the same when they miss out on sleep. You may slow down, but your child
could start bouncing off the walls. This behavior may make it look like he's got ADHD. Your pediatrician can
help you figure out what's going on.
If your child does have ADHD, studies show getting the right amount of sleep can help him pay better
attention and act less hyper.

Hello Warden Smith,
I'm writing in preparation for our meeting with you and Director Hite tomorrow at 9:30 to talk about the Law Library.
We have been in touch with Kim Kelmor, Assistant Director of the Law Library at Penn State, who has experience with
prison libraries. She has helpfully provided us with some questions and guidance, which we would like to share with
you. In addition, there are two other items we would like to discuss, but I don't know if there will be time. One is that
we have a finished quilt design, and we would like your approval to go forward. The second is that we have gotten some
questions from inmates about the PRIDE program, and we wanted to follow up on those.
Thank you for being willing to meet with Mark and me. I appreciate it very much, and we look forward to seeing you
tomorrow.

For tomorrow, our Sheriffs will be transporting Nicole Brobst and Ashley Renninger to you for housing, ETA around
1830.
Brobst will be sentenced tomorrow morning, so after we receive her court order we can complete the 7X and fax
everything to you.
Our APO office is working on clearing a few inmates in your facility so I am waiting to hear who can return.
I tried to guess Melanie’s email to send her info but it must not be correct. If you could ask her to send me an email I
will work through her to avoid bogging you down. I had thought Prime Care could send medical information through
CORE but our HSA said it must be faxed.
Please give me a fax # to send our inmate information and the Sheriff’s will also hand deliver copies. We would also
appreciate a caseworker contact person to coordinate future parole issues, etc.
Thanks for everything Rick,

All,
Inmate Jerry Keith has been hospitalized in Altoona. With the inherent difficulties of a longer travel time to this hospital
and back, we are seeking volunteers for special assignment to cover these shifts on an ongoing basis until the inmate's
status changes.
We are seeking 6 volunteers for special assignment to hospital duty that would work 12 hour shifts at the Altoona hospital
plus paid travel time. We need 3 volunteers to work 7a-7p shifts and 3 volunteers to work 7p-7a shifts.
The volunteers for this special assignment would work a pattern of four days on, two days off in rotation with one
another at the hospital and would not be scheduled on their routine rotation/shift/post until the conclusion of this
assignment.
As example:

Travel time to and from the hospital would be paid time. Officers on this special assignment may choose to report directly
to the hospital in their own vehicle from home rather than coming to the facility first. If this is done, the officer will be
paid the 1 hour travel time to/from the hospital and mileage equivalent to the distance from CCCF to Altoona Hospital.
Any meals purchased during the hospital duty by the officers is eligible for County reimbursement. Receipts will need to
be turned in to Brenda McKinley, who can get you the appropriate form to submit.
Volunteers will be assigned in order of seniority. Due to Mr. Keith being a male inmate, we cannot have more than one
female per shift. If more than one female per shift signs up for this special assignment, seniority will rule. Volunteers
must be transport/firearms qualified due to the shift being hospital duty.
Volunteers will be accepted for this special assignment until 7pm today. If you wish to volunteer, please call and speak to
the Shift Commander on duty as soon as possible.

Outsmart Distracted Dining
By Michael Roizen, MD, and Mehmet Oz, MD
Ever look at your empty plate and wonder huh, where did that
sandwich (or cake…or spaghetti and meatballs) go? New
research from the University of Utah reveals that most of you
now spend 50 percent of your eating time focused on
something other than the food in front of you!
Researchers identified stealthy distractions that lead to food
choices and weight gain you’ll regret.
So here’s a better idea: Adopt mindful eating habits that’ll help
you turn good intentions (“I’ll eat healthy tomorrow!” “I’ll start
losing weight next week!”) into reality today. You’ll savor every
bite, sip and spoonful, guilt‐free and love the results.
Create a peaceful environment. Turn off the TV. Turn down the
music! In a recent University of Illinois study, families that ate dinner while a loud vacuum cleaner roared in
the next room made loads of mealtime mistakes. Parents ate more cookies and drank more diet sodas
which studies show raise risk for weight gain and blood‐sugar control problems. And they paid less
attention to their children. Mindful change: You’ll eat healthier in a quiet setting, be a role model for good
eating and connect more with your family. These factors will help you and your kids make healthier food
choices and avoid weight gain in the future.
Allow ample time to eat. Slow down when you dine in mixed company! In a recent study from our friends
at Cornell University’s Food & Brand Lab, guys devoured 92 percent more pizza when their lunch partners
23
included women. And women who lunched with men said they felt rushed and overate as a result. The
guys also ate 86 percent more salad – a great choice provided you go with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
and balsamic vinegar. Mindful change: Slow eating gives your brain and body time to register that you’re
full. You’ll feel more satisfied with fewer calories.
Avoid being influenced by where you eat or your dining companion’s appearance. Remind yourself about
your eating goals before you order in a restaurant or serve yourself at home. In another revealing study,
people who had a meal with an overweight dining partner, over‐ate high‐calorie foods and skimped on
healthy foods even when their dining partner made healthy choices. Other studies have found that folks
who are overweight tend to overeat when you’re dining away from home. Mindful change: Stick with your
eating plan! Easy system: Fill half your plate with produce (largely veggies other than potatoes), one‐fourth
with whole grains and the rest with lean protein.
Don’t drive and dine. Pull over! Yup, 86 percent of drivers in one national survey admitted to noshing while
driving. That doubles your odds for a crash and increases the chances that you’ll dig into, and scarcely
notice, that large order of fries, burger and a shake you just picked up. You’ll feel less satisfied and that
drive‐through doughnut shop up ahead starts lookin’ real good. Mindful change: If you’ve gotta eat on the
road, order a healthy sandwich or salad from a deli or convenience store. Pair it with fruit and a bottle of
water, tea, or coffee. Find a safe and attractive place to stop (like a local park or the parking lot of a church
or library), turn off the car and focus on your meal. Add a 10‐15 minute stroll, then continue your drive
refreshed and full.
Keep your counters clear of temptations. Out of sight, out of mouth. It’s no surprise that people who keep
soda and snacks out on the kitchen counter weigh more than those whose easy‐to‐grab snack is fruit. But
did you know breakfast cereal can be a weight‐gain culprit, too? Munching handfuls when you’re bored or
hungry can add up! Mindful change: Set yourself up for healthy‐eating success by limiting counter foods to
delicious, ready‐to‐eat fruit and nuts.

Why Isometric Exercises Belong in Your Exercise Routine
Imagine if you could do effective exercises in only 10 seconds, anywhere, anytime … without any
equipment. This is absolutely possible with isometric exercises, which are perfect for anyone who wants to
tone muscles and gain strength in a way that doesn’t require impact or full range of motion. In other
words, perhaps you’re recovering from an injury or are taking your first steps to getting into better shape,
then isometric exercises make a lot of sense.
26
What Are Isometric Exercises?
A common method of muscular strength training, isometric exercise or isometrics are a type of exercise in
which the joint angle and the muscle length do not change during contraction. In other words, these
exercises are done in static positions while engaging specific muscles, rather than being dynamic through a
range of motion. Unlike standard strength training, isometrics allows you the freedom to practice them
anywhere without needing weights or special equipment.
The most effective way to use isometrics is to incorporate it into a larger strength‐training program, such
as our Burst training or a kettlebell workout. While isometric exercise offers great benefits, it is important
to understand the limitations. Let’s look at it another way: The entire muscle isn’t being strengthened, but
rather a part of it. This is because your muscles do not change length during isometric exercises in the
same way they do when you lift a weight. You can improve the effects of the workout by doing any
isometric exercise in three different positions. Essentially, tense the muscle near the bottom of the
movement, the middle and the top of the movement.
A great example is with the biceps. When you are doing bicep curls, the bottom means with the arm fully
extended; the middle means with the elbow at an angle near 90 degrees; and the top means with your
hand near your shoulder; each holding for at least 10 seconds. You can do this without weights simply by
tensing the muscle at each point.
Isometric Exercise Routine
Isometric exercises are for anyone. While they are best when performed with higher intensity exercises,
they are great if you are recovering from an injury, short on time or in need of non‐impact exercise,
regardless of age. The elderly may also benefit from isometric exercises due to their non‐impact style as
well as the need to focus on the specific muscle you are working.
It is important to determine a routine that will be effective and do your best to be consistent by
performing the routine, and variations of it, at least 2–3 times per week.
Consider the different muscles that you need to strengthen. You can actually create a full body workout
using isometric exercises. It is important, like with all exercise routines, that you do not hold your breath,
but rather breathe through the exercises, usually exhaling at the points of exertion.
Below is a great workout that includes both upper and lower body exercises. Try to get through the entire
set 2–3 times.
Upper Body Isometric Exercises
Ball Squeeze: Using a medicine ball, hold in front of you using both hands. Squeeze the ball as hard as you
can holding the squeeze for 10–30 seconds. Release and repeat 5–10 times.
Push‐ups: Starting in the push‐up position with arms fully extended, lower yourself to about half way to
the floor. Hold this position for 10–20 seconds remembering to breathe. Repeat 2–3 times. If needed, start
on your knees (keep a straight line from your knees to the top of your head) and over time you will gain
more strength and be able to do the push‐ups on your toes.
Plank: Start with your arms bent at 90 degrees and rest on your elbows directly below your shoulders.
Hold the plank position for 10–30 seconds while engaging your core, hips and butt. Repeat the exercise for
5–10 times. Again, if needed, start on your knees and over time you will gain more strength and be able to
do the planks on your toes.
Lower Body Isometric Exercises
27
Squats: Place your back against a wall (or no wall) and lower yourself until your quadriceps are parallel to
the floor. Extend your arms in front of you. Keep your upper body upright (do not lean over). The easiest
way to think of the isometric squat is to sit in an imaginary chair, placing your weight on your heels. Hold
for 10–20 seconds, engaging your abs, quads and butt. Release. Repeat 10–20 times.
Lunges: Stand with legs staggered, right foot in front and spread far enough apart that you can lower
yourself near the ground. Left knee is almost touching the ground and calf is parallel to the ground. Right
quadricep is parallel to the ground and your knee should not extend past your foot.
If you need help with balance, place a sturdy chair next to you. Start in the standing staggered position and
lower yourself to the ground with hips slightly tucked, holding the position for 10–20 seconds while
engaging the butt and and right upper leg. Repeat 10–20 times on that side, then repeat the same number
of repetitions on the other side.
Hip Lifts: Lie face up on the floor. Knees are up and feet are on the ground hip distance apart with your
heels near your butt. Push your hips into the air and squeeze your butt as hard as you can while engaging
your abs for 10–30 seconds. Want a little more resistance? Hold a weight on your abdominal and hip area.
Release and repeat 10–20 times.
Potential Risks of Isometric Training
You should always consult your physician before starting any exercise program. Isometric exercise can
cause the blood pressure to increase because when a muscle contracts, blood is forced out of the muscle
tissue and into the bloodstream. Also, never hold your breath during exercise, as this can cause your blood
pressure to increase.

Vacation Day
Dee,
I was trying to call to let you know I need to take today off. There is an issue with PrimeCare's Psychiatrist
hours that I wanted you to be aware of. An inmate wrote al etter to Mom and she sent it to Senator Korman's
Office. I had Todd Haskins and their Mental Health Director in to discuss.
I interviewed the inmate in Shift Commander's Office. His problem is resolved and he is receiving his
medication. They aren.t providing the number of hours provided by the contract with Psychiatrist and will
Start longer hours this Monday. I will note that Dentist has been providing additional hours and doing great job.
Thanks,
Rick

TO All,
It has been brought to my attention that when we go to the jail to pick up an inmate for court or to transport to another
facility that we are not searching the inmates. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. Even though you may think they have
been search by the correctional facility, he/she is still going to be in your custody. I personally would want to make sure
the inmate is secure and has nothing on his/her person. The only time I never gave a pat down was when I helped get
the inmate dressed but even then I searched his clothes. FROM NOW ON, WE MUST SEARCH ALL INMATES PRIOR TO
TRANSPORT, even if you think he has already been searched. I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO ANY OF
YOU. This is for you and your partners safety. IF you do a quick pat down prior to “hooking them up” it doesn’t take
that long. Take rubber gloves, grab a pair at the correctional facility or ask LT. Weaver if we have any leather search
gloves available. Try not to search without gloves, it’s just more sanitary. If you any questions, feel free to contact me,
Chief, LT or Sgt. Thanks‐Bryan

Warden Smtih,
Since you authorized the use of the Centre County Correctional Facility title I thought I would send you the rough draft
of the July article I informed you about. Please do not share it with anyone. Deputy Gordon has seen it. I just don’t
need the ribbing I know will come with article. I will wait till July for that. Thank you again.

I spoke to the Warden to give him a heads up that you will be needing inmates.
Rick said for you to just send an email to him for when and how many you will need.
Just like what you do for elections.
Thank you,

Dear CCG Employees,
American Red Cross donors are helping save the lives of the people in need of blood and
platelet transfusions each and every day.
Almost all patients in need of transfusions have stories about how the generosity of donors
touched their lives and the lives of their families.
MEET JANICE J. Two years ago, Janice J. received the news that no one wants to hear; she had been
diagnosed with uterine cancer. For the next four months, she battled her cancer into remission.
Janice underwent two surgeries, six rounds of chemotherapy and another four rounds of radiation.
By her last round of chemo, she was left severely anemic, a side‐effect caused by her surgeries and
treatment.
“I was having problems getting enough oxygen just walking around in my house,” said Janice. “My
brother and sister had to help me up the stairs.” To help combat her anemia, Janice received two
blood transfusions. One of those transfusions was from her brother, an avid blood donor with the
Red Cross for many years.
“Having chemo on schedule is very important, it gives you the best chance at survival,” she said.
“Without the transfusions, I would not have been able to have my last round on schedule.”
After that last chemo treatment and those two blood transfusions, Janice’s cancer went into
remission in August 2011.She’s been in remission ever since.
Today, Janice is able to enjoy swimming and hiking again, and has even found a place she loves to
volunteer ‐‐ a knitting club at the Cancer Support Center.
“The sky is bluer and the trees are prettier,” she said. “Every day is a gift now.”
9
As someone who has both given and received blood, Janice understands the importance of donating
through the Red Cross, and encourages others to do so. “When you give blood, you're giving life,” she
said gratefully. (–excerpt from://www.redcross.org/news/article)

A Visual Guide to a Heart Attack
What Is It?
When blood can't get to your heart, your heart muscle doesn't get the oxygen it needs. Without oxygen,
its cells can be damaged or die.
The key to recovery is to get your blood flow restored quickly. Get medical help right away if you think
you're having symptoms of a heart attack.
Causes
Over time, cholesterol and a fatty material called plaque can build up on the walls inside blood vessels that
take blood to your heart, called arteries. This makes it harder for blood to flow freely. Most heart attacks
happen when a piece of this plaque breaks off. A blood clot forms around the broken‐off plaque, and it
blocks the artery.Causes
11
Symptoms
You may feel pain, pressure, or discomfort in your chest. You could be short of breath, sweat, faint, or feel
sick to your stomach. Your neck, jaw, or shoulders might hurt.
Men and women can have different symptoms. Men are more likely to break out in a cold sweat and to
feel pain move down their left arm.
Symptoms in Women
Women are more likely than men to have back or neck pain, heartburn, and shortness of breath. They tend
to have stomach trouble, including an upset stomach, feeling queasy, and throwing up. They may also feel
very tired, light‐headed, or dizzy. A couple of weeks before a heart attack, a woman might have flu‐like
symptoms and sleep problems.
What to Do
12
If you or someone you're with has symptoms that might be a heart attack, call 911 right away. If it is, you're
more likely to survive if you get treated within 90 minutes. While you're on the phone, the person should
chew and swallow an aspirin (unless they're allergic) to lower the risk of a blood clot. Are they
unconscious? Hands‐only CPR can double their chances of survival.
Diagnosis
An EKG, which checks your heart's electrical activity, can help doctors see if you're having a heart attack. It
can also show which artery is clogged or blocked.
Doctors can also diagnose a heart attack with blood tests that look for proteins that heart cells release
when they die.
Treatment
Doctors will quickly act to get blood flowing to your heart again. You may get drugs that dissolve blood
clots.
You'll likely have a procedure called a coronary angiogram. A thin tube with a tiny balloon on the end goes
through your artery. It opens up the blockage by flattening the plaque against the walls. Most times,
doctors place a small, mesh tube called a stent in your artery to make sure it stays open.
13
What Puts You at Risk?
Your odds of having a heart attack go up with age, and men are more likely to have one than women. A
family history of heart disease also increases your risk. Smoking raises your chances of a heart attack. So
does having high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, diabetes, and being obese. Stress, a lack of
exercise, and depression can, too.
If you smoke, stop. It will immediately cut your chances of a heart attack by a third.
Get exercise and eat right. The American Heart Association recommends 30 minutes of moderate exercise
a day, 5 days a week. Eat plenty of fruits, veggies, and whole grains to keep your arteries healthy.
For some people, taking a daily aspirin will help. Talk to your doctor to see if it's right for you.
Find positive ways to manage your stress.
14
Life After a Heart Attack
If you're in the hospital, you may come home after just a few days. You can get back to your normal daily
life in a few weeks.
Cardiac rehab can help you recover. You'll get your own fitness program and learn how to keep up a heart‐
healthy lifestyle. Counselors give you support if you're feeling down or worried about having another
attack.

Hi Richard,
As the Warden for the Centre County Correctional Facility, I have 3 questions for you:
1. Do you have Tile and Grout within your correctional facility?
2. Would you like for your Tile and Grout areas to look like they did when they were new?
3. How would you like an area restored to new for free?
(maybe a small restroom, shower, kitchen or locker room area?)
20
If you answered “yes” to any of those questions SaniGLAZE is your solution to have restrooms that are complaint‐free,
sanitary and easy to keep that way indefinitely, using a process that permanently transforms tile and grout surfaces to a
like‐new, easy to maintain condition. Your local SaniGLAZE Specialist would like to set up a 10 minute “meet and greet”
appointment to explain how our process is so successful in doing just that. Please visit our web site: www.saniglaze.com
to see photographs of our work and learn more about our process. Take advantage of our offer for a free
demonstration at your correctional facility.
We can start with a short 10 minute “meet and greet” by emailing or calling me at (904) 421‐3370. I look forward to
making your appointment well‐worth your while. Thank you Richard for your time, you and your team be safe and have
a good day!
Thank you,

Four Steps to Picking the Healthiest Veggie Meats
Imitation meats have been around at least since 1896. That’s when John Harvey Kellogg created “Nuttose”
mostly out of peanuts.
In the meantime, here’s what to look for if you want the best imitation burgers, crumbles, meatballs,
nuggets, and strips, as well as similar products that don’t try to be imitations.
Seek out less sodium. The toughest nut to crack in the veggie “meat” world—other than replicating
the taste and texture of meat, poultry, or seafood—is keeping a lid on salt. It’s not unusual to find 500
milligrams of sodium (a third of a day’s worth) in a roughly 3 oz. serving of veggie meat that has just 100 to
200 calories. Few have less than 200 mg.
Check the protein. You’d get around 20 grams of protein in a 3 oz. beef burger. (That’s what the meat
in a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder weighs.) A serving of veggie meat typically ranges from 5 grams of
protein to 20 grams. Some brands MS Chick Grillers(like Beyond Meat) are reliably at the high end, while
others (like Gardenburger) are consistently at the low end.
In general, patties that are trying to taste like beef (like Boca All American Flame Grilled or MorningStar
Grillers Prime) or chicken have more protein than vegetable‐grain‐bean patties that don’t give a hoot
about mimicking meat.
But you can’t always tell by the name. MorningStar Garden Veggie, Mediterranean Chickpea, Spicy Black
Bean, and Tomato & Basil Pizza burgers, for example, have 10 grams of protein, while Amy’s Black Bean,
Boca Burger Bistro, California, and Sonoma burgers have 5 or 6 grams.
3
It comes down to how much protein (soy, pea, and/or wheat gluten) the company adds.
How much protein do you need? Many experts advise older people to get more than the Daily Value (50
grams) to prevent muscle loss. To calculate that higher target, divide your weight in half. (If you weigh 120
pounds, that means shooting for 60 grams of protein a day.) If you typically don’t eat much meat, poultry,
or seafood, look for veggie meats with at least 10 grams of protein per serving.
Avoid bad fats. Who needs the 6 grams of saturated fat (about a third of a day’s worth) in a 3 oz. beef
burger? Nearly all veggie meats are low in sat fat, MS Chick Pea [3]which raises LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.
Few reach even 2 grams. (Exception: most burgers from Hilary’s Eat Well contain enough coconut oil to hit
5 or 6 grams of sat fat.) Instead of saturated fat, some veggie meats—usually those made with canola,
corn, or soybean oil—have more polyunsaturated fat, which lowers LDL.
Taste around. When it comes to taste, veggie meats range from “yummy” to “yuck.” Our advice to
newcomers: start with MorningStar or Gardein. They were the most reliable in the taste department when
we tested a lot of these products.

Habits That Wreck Your Teeth
Chewing on Ice
It’s natural and sugar free, so you might think ice is harmless. But munching on hard, frozen cubes can chip
or even crack your teeth. And if your mindless chomping irritates the soft tissue inside a tooth, regular
toothaches may follow. Hot foods and cold foods may trigger quick, sharp jabs of pain or a lingering
toothache. Next time you get the urge for ice, chew some sugarless gum instead.
Bedtime Bottles
It’s never too early to protect teeth. Giving a baby a bedtime bottle of juice, milk, or formula, can put new
teeth on a path to decay. The baby may become used to falling asleep with the bottle in his or her mouth,
bathing the teeth in sugars overnight. It's best to keep bottles out of the crib.
Tongue Piercings
Tongue piercings may be trendy, but biting down on the metal stud can crack a tooth. Lip piercings pose a
similar risk. And when metal rubs against the gums, it can cause gum damage that may lead to tooth loss.
The mouth is also a haven for bacteria, so piercings raise the risk of infections and sores. Bottom line,
discuss the health risks with your dentist first.
1
Grinding Teeth
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can wear teeth down over time. It is most often caused by stress and sleeping
habits. This makes it hard to control. Avoiding hard foods during the day can reduce pain and damage from
this habit. Wearing a mouth guard at night can prevent the damage caused by grinding while sleeping.
Cough Drops
Just because cough drops are sold in the medicine aisle doesn't mean they’re healthy. Most are loaded
with sugar. So after soothing your throat with a lozenge, be sure to brush well. Whether the sugar comes
from a cough drop or a hard candy, it reacts with the sticky plaque that coats your teeth. Then bacteria in
the plaque convert the sugar into an acid that eats away at tooth enamel. Hello, cavities.
Gummy Candy
All sugary treats promote tooth decay, but some candies are harder to bear. Gummies stick in the teeth,
keeping the sugar and resulting acids in contact with your enamel for hours. If your day just isn't the same
without a gummy critter, pop a couple during a meal instead of as a separate snack. More saliva is
produced during meals, which helps rinse away candy bits and acids.
Opening Stuff With Your Teeth
2
Opening bottle caps or plastic packaging with your teeth may be convenient, but this is one habit that
makes dentists cringe. Using your teeth as tools can cause them to crack or chip. Instead, keep scissors
and bottle openers handy. Bottom line, your teeth should only be used for eating.
Sports Drinks
There's no doubt a cold sports drink is refreshing after a good workout. But these drinks are usually high in
sugar. Like soda or candy, sugary sports drinks create an acid attack on the enamel of your teeth. Drinking
them frequently can lead to decay. A better way to stay hydrated at the gym is to chug sugar‐free, calorie‐
free water.
Fruit Juice
Fruit juice is loaded with vitamins and antioxidants, but unfortunately most juices are also loaded with
sugar. Some juices can have as much sugar per serving as soda. For example, there are only 10 more grams
of sugar in orange soda than in orange juice. Fruits are naturally sweet, so look for juice that has no added
sugar. You can also reduce the sugar content by diluting juice with some water.
Potato Chips
The bacteria in plaque will also break down starchy foods into acid. This acid can attack the teeth for the
next 20 minutes ‐‐ even longer if the food is stuck between the teeth or you snack often. You might want
to floss after eating potato chips or other starchy foods that tend to get stuck in the teeth.
Constant Snacking
Snacking produces less saliva than a meal, leaving food bits in your teeth for hours longer. Avoid snacking
too frequently, and stick to snacks that are low in sugar and starch ‐‐ for example, carrot sticks.
Chewing on Pencils
Do you ever chew on your pencil when concentrating on work or studies? Like crunching on ice, this habit
can cause teeth to chip or crack. Sugarless gum is a better option when you feel the need to chew. It will
trigger the flow of saliva, which can make teeth stronger and protect against enamel‐eating acids.
3
Drinking Coffee
Coffee's dark color and acidity can cause yellowing of the teeth over time. Fortunately, it's one of the
easiest stains to treat with various whitening methods. Talk to your dentist if you're concerned about
discoloration of your teeth.
Smoking
Cigarettes, as well as other tobacco products, can stain teeth and cause them to fall out as a result of gum
disease. Tobacco can also cause cancer of the mouth, lips, and tongue. If you were looking for one more
reason to quit, think of your smile.
Drinking Red Wine
The acids in wine eat away at tooth enamel, creating rough spots that make teeth more vulnerable to
staining. Red wine also contains a deep pigment called chromogen and tannins, which help the color stick
to the teeth. This combination makes it easy for the wine's red color to stay with you long after your glass
is empty.
Drinking White Wine
You might think sticking to white wine would spare your teeth. But the acids still weaken the enamel,
leaving the teeth porous and vulnerable to staining from other beverages, such as coffee. Swishing with
water after drinking or using toothpaste with a mild whitening agent can fight the staining effects of red
and white wines.

Lehighton Times News (05/12/2016)

Schuylkill prison fails mandate
By Chris Parker
The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections has forbidden Schuylkill County from accepting any
inmates sentenced to six months or more into the county prison.
The order, issued May 4 by DOC Secretary John E. Wetzel, is because the county failed to meet the
state’s mandate to reduce the number of inmates.
The DOC on July 28, 2015, set a benchmark of 277 inmates to prevent triple-celling. As of April 24,
the average population was 282 inmates. Of those, 46 were triple-celled, including 10 women. In
March, the population was 291, and in February 294.
The restriction will be lifted if and when the prison population drops below a monthly average of 277.
The county prison board and commissioners have implemented a number of steps to reduce the
population, including housing inmates at prisons outside the county, work release and a day
monitoring program.
Thirty inmates have been diverted so far, with others being classified for transfer.
The county is also creating a drug court expected to begin by the end of this year to keep more
people out of jail.
“Despite the county’s diligent efforts to reach the benchmark set by the Department of Corrections,
the continued swelling of the numbers of inmates in Schuylkill County has prevented it from attaining
that benchmark,” said Prison Board and Commissioners’ Chairman George F. Halcovage Jr.
“The Schuylkill County Prison Board and board of commissioners are committed to continuing to work
with the state Department of Corrections, the Schuylkill County court, as well as county law
enforcement professionals to insure that all inmate housing requirements are met, and those
individuals adjudicated by the courts requiring incarceration will be incarcerated,” he said in a
prepared statement.
Halcovage said the commissioners will be reviewing additional inmate housing agreements which,
upon approval, will then open additional out-of-county housing opportunities for Schuylkill County
inmates.”
The county currently houses male inmates at George W. Hill Correctional Facility in Delaware
County, and female inmates at the State Correctional Institution in Muncy for $60 a day per inmate.
7
The county is finalizing details of a similar arrangement with Centre and Columbia counties.
The county has spent years trying to find a solution.
Officials years ago planned to buy land to build a pre-release center for nonviolent inmates in order to
reduce the jail population, but a brick-and-mortar program proved too costly.
Gov. Wolf Press Release (05/12/2016)
http://wallaby.telicon.com/PA/library/2016/2016051262.HTM
York, PA – Governor Tom Wolf was joined by Representative Kevin Schreiber, as well as local
officials, law enforcement, and health care professionals, at a roundtable in York city today to discuss
local and statewide efforts to lead the nation in combating the opioid abuse and heroin use epidemic
in Pennsylvania.
In an effort to confront this epidemic collaboratively, Governor Wolf is conducting roundtables
statewide to discuss the initiatives of his administration, the state legislature, county agencies,
treatment centers, hospitals, and medical schools. The Wolf Administration is eager to engage in
these local conversations in order to listen to local officials about the challenges that they are facing.
“Fighting Pennsylvania’s opioid and heroin epidemic is a top priority for my administration,” said
Governor Wolf. “These roundtables are an opportunity to work collaboratively with the General
Assembly and community leaders to ensure Pennsylvania leads the nation in the fight to combat the
opioid abuse and heroin use crisis.”
Governor Wolf was joined by a number of other state and local leaders at the event at Martin Library
location of the York County Library System. Attendees included PA Department of Corrections
Secretary John Wetzel, York County Coroner Pam Gay, District Attorney Thomas Kearney, Senior
Deputy Prosecutor David Sunday, and members of the York County Heroin Task Force.
“The problem with heroin and its associated crime are growing in York County and across
Pennsylvania,” Rep. Schreiber said. “I applaud Governor Wolf for being a leader on this issue by
hosting roundtables across the state. He is hearing directly from those on the ground fighting back
this epidemic, what is working and what is not so that he can put the full resources of our
Commonwealth towards solutions. If we all work together, at the local and state levels, I am hopeful
that we can combat the heroin epidemic.”
“York County has been a leader in many ways over the last two years in trying to address the
prescription drug and heroin epidemic,” said Senator Wagner. “Two years ago, Chief Deputy
Prosecutor Dave Sunday from the District Attorney’s Office and Coroner Pam Gay founded the York
County Heroin Task Force, which I have served on from the beginning. Since then, this multifaceted
group has accomplished a great deal, particularly with educating the community. But there are
roadblocks preventing more people from getting the treatment they need, so I am glad the governor
and his administration have chosen to come to York to hear the concerns we all have.”
The Wolf Administration hopes that these discussions are just the beginning of a larger conversation
with both Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate as well as local officials, law
enforcement, emergency responders, and health care professionals.
“I look forward to continue working collaboratively with the General Assembly and community leaders
to ensure Pennsylvania leads the nation in the fight to combat the opioid abuse and heroin use
epidemic,” said Governor Wolf. “The magnitude of the addiction and overdose death epidemic in
8
Pennsylvania is shocking: at least seven Pennsylvanians die every day from a drug overdose. With
nearly 2,500 overdose deaths in Pennsylvania in 2014 and estimates that the 2015 total will be
higher, a collaborative effort on the federal, state, and local levels is crucial in combating this crisis.”
Some of the administration’s initiatives in the fight against heroin include: signing a statewide
standing order for naloxone, making it possible for all Pennsylvanians to access this life-saving drug;
equipping the Pennsylvania State Police with naloxone so that those troopers who are first on the
scene of an overdose can have another tool on-hand during these emergencies; partnering with
Adapt Pharma to make Narcan available to public high schools across the state at no cost;
developing the ABC-MAP prescription drug monitoring program to detect and prevent prescription
fraud and abuse, which contribute to addiction; and appointing a director for the state’s Prescription
Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) Office, who will work to ensure that the PDMP meets its goal of
assisting healthcare professionals in identifying patients that would benefit from treatment.
In an effort to curtail drug addiction and curb the supply of excess drugs that can be used illicitly, the
Department of Health is leading an effort to build upon the opioid prescribing guidelines already
created, including specialty specific guidelines for emergency department providers, dentists,
obstetricians and gynecologists, and pharmacists. These guidelines give healthcare providers
direction for safe and effective pain relief practices, with greater emphasis on non-opioid therapies
and greater caution to prevent addiction and diversion. In addition, the DOH recently joined dozens of
healthcare organizations, medical experts, and consumer advocacy groups in signing petitions
requesting changes to federal pain management requirements that are believed to foster dangerous
prescribing practices.
The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs is developing the “warm hand-off” process “warm
hand-off” process, whereby overdose survivors would be taken directly from the emergency
department to a licensed drug treatment provider, as well as Pennsylvania’s Prescription Drug TakeBack Program. This program helps communities properly dispose of unused prescriptions at any of
the 400+ police station locations across Pennsylvania. To date, approximately 40,000 pounds of
prescription drugs have been taken back and destroyed.
Governor Wolf’s decision to expand Medicaid eligibility in Pennsylvania under the Affordable Care Act
has greatly increased access to treatment services for hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians.
Finally, Governor Wolf’s proposed 2016-17 budget provides more than $34 million to treat more than
11,250 new individuals with substance use disorder. The Department of Human Services will provide
25 new Opioid Use Disorder Centers of Excellence for individuals with substance use disorder,
providing medication-assisted treatment and appropriate wraparound services, such as cognitivebased therapies. After this first phase of implementation, there will be a push for 25 more facilities
that would have the capacity to treat 22,500 individuals total.

Get Marty: Convicted Cop Killer’s Websites “Disturbing, Disgusting,” Mayor Vows To Get Them
Removed
By Marty Griffin
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto and his administration are vowing to use any
legal means available to get a website and online profile, set up by a man convicted of fatally
shooting three Pittsburgh Police officers, removed from the Internet.
The websites, created by convicted cop killer Richard Poplawski from death row, contain disturbing
video and solicit relationship with woman online.
One of the websites is called “Friends Beyond The Wall.” On it, Poplawski describes himself as
“bright.” He says, “I listen. I give good counsel. I’m still young and handsome.”
He goes on to say, “I can write deep, penetrating letters, but I’d rather just have fun. Let’s laugh.”
The second site contains a similar message. It’s called “ConPals Inmate Connections.” There, he
solicits women to write him and asks them to “join my book club.”
But this site has a darker, more ominous tone.
A video on the site, produced by Poplawski in prison or by someone outside of prison, is described by
law enforcement sources and city officials who have seen it as deeply disturbing.
Connected to the single’s site, it shows crime scene photos from the day in April 2009 when
Poplawski shot and killed three police officers.
It shows actual photographs from inside the Stanton Heights home where hundreds of rounds of
ammunition were fired to kill the three officers, Eric Kelly, Stephen Mayhle and Paul Sciullo II.
It also shows Poplawski proudly displaying the weapons he used.
KDKA’s Marty Griffin sent the Poplawski dating site information to Mayor Peduto’s Chief-of-Staff
Kevin Acklin late Wednesday and he took immediate action.
10
“It was disgusting,” said Acklin. “The mayor has authorized us to pursue legal action against the
purveyors of this site.
In a strongly written letter sent to the out-of-state developer of the site, Mayor Peduto said, “I hereby
request that you immediately remove Poplawski’s page and attached video.”
It goes on to present a fraud case, saying in part: “The inmate has published false information and
may be seeking to defraud those who will respond to him. Poplawski is a person of relentless evil and
profound depravity. If you do not remove the page, we will pursue various legal remedies, including
without limitation, legal action, and if necessary, new legislation.”
Mayor Peduto’s letter goes on to say: “This allows Poplawski to inflict a second victimization on the
already grief-stricken. You have a moral and ethical responsibility to balance the potential for public
good against the private harm resulting.”
“Clearly, the content of this website, inviting other women to come and contact him, is a very sick
sense of something I’m not familiar with. It’s the face of evil,” said Acklin.

DA: Convicted child molester killed himself right before his sentencing
By Matt Miller
A convicted child molester apparently killed himself right before he was to appear in Dauphin County
Court to be sentenced to a state prison term for sexually abusing a 14-year-girl, a prosecutor said
Thursday.
Kevin Marshall, 32, of Gratz, pleaded guilty to multiple sex crimes in February. He had a plea deal for
a 3- to 7-year jail term and was scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Scott A. Evans on Wednesday
morning.
When Marshall didn't show, and attempts by his lawyer, Public Defender Mary Klatt, to find him failed,
Chief Deputy District Attorney Sean McCormack secured a bench warrant be issued for his arrest.
State police at Lykens never had a chance to serve that warrant. McCormack said as he contacted
police to bring Marshall to court, the officers were notified that a passerby had found a body near
Marshall's home. Indications are that Marshall fatally shot himself, McCormack said.
"The sad thing is this deprives the victim of her day in court," he said. The girl and her family were in
Evans' courtroom Wednesday for Marshall's sentencing hearing.
Marshall was arrested by state police in 2014. McCormack said Marshall, then 31, groomed his
victim, an acquaintance, for sex by plying her with drugs and alcohol.
Marshall pleaded guilty to involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a victim under 16, statutory
sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of minors,
possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and providing alcohol to minors.
The timing of Marshall's apparent suicide is unusual, McCormack said. This is the first time he said he
can remember a sex offender killing himself right before a sentencing hearing in Dauphin County
Court.

Jerry Sandusky's ex-lawyer pleads guilty in $767,000 theft
http://www.centredaily.com/news/state/pennsylvania/article77225812.html
CARLISLE - An attorney who represented former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky
at his sex abuse trial has pleaded guilty to stealing more than three-quarters of a million dollars from
clients.
Pennlive.com reports 42- year-old Karl Rominger of Carlisle pleaded guilty in Cumberland County
Court on Thursday to charges of theft by deception and misappropriation.
Prosecutors say he took about $767,000 in client funds and spent it on casino gambling and other
interests.
Sentencing is Aug. 4. Sentencing guidelines call for 9 to 16 months in prison.
Rominger voluntarily surrendered his law license and was disbarred last spring.
Sandusky was convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys. He is serving a 30- to 60-year prison term.

Cable Television to replace satellite service at Beaver County jail
By Tom Davidson
HOPEWELL TWP. -- Inmates at the Beaver County Jail will soon be watching cable television from
Comcast instead of similar service from the Dish satellite network.
The service isn't underwritten by Beaver County taxpayers, jail Warden William Schouppe noted. It's
paid for by the jail's inmate welfare fund.
The cable service had been unavailable because Comcast lines didn't extend across the railroad
tracks that separate the jail and other industrial properties in the area, just north of West Aliquippa
accessed by the Henry Mancini Bridge.
Until recently, Comcast wouldn't pay for the $27,000 cost to extend the lines. The Philadelphia-based
company recently did so, and its rates are comparable to those paid to the Dish satellite service,
Schouppe said.
12
It simplifies inmate access to television because a box isn't required with cable service and inmates
can't attempt to make changes to the way the service is programmed or access channels they're not
allowed to, as has happened in the past, Schouppe said.
Two televisions are in each of the six general-population pods at the jail, one in the female workrelease unit and one in the special-needs unit. Inmates generally decide among themselves what
channel they'll be watching, but with Dish, inmates would try to use the remote control to reprogram
the service, Schouppe said.
With Comcast, that can't happen because they'll only be allowed to change channels, he said.
Comcast will also provide Internet service to the jail's offices, he said. It also may allow the jail to look
into future expansion of service to inmates if they should want to pay for it.
Some jails will lease a small television for use in an inmate's cell as a way to generate revenue. The
jail will be looking into that in the future, Schouppe said.
Other sites that are across the railroad tracks can now be serviced by Comcast, something that could
benefit any future development adjacent to the jail.
"It puts the infrastructure in place for other sites to tap into," Schouppe said.

Centre County recognized for helping released prisoners succeed
By Maria Canales
Last year, 973 Centre County inmates were released after serving their sentences. Once out, they
had to overcome a grim statistic: Nearly two-thirds of state prisoners are rearrested within three years
of their release.
13
To combat this problem, Centre County has assembled resources to help former prisoners, and it has
been recognized for its efforts.
In March, the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania selected Centre County as the
honorable mention for the County Criminal Justice Advisory Board’s best practices award. The
McKean County Criminal Justice Advisory Board won the award.
A ceremony for this and other awards given by the association is planned for June 20 in State
College.
Centre County took a big step in dealing with the re-entry problem of former inmates when the Centre
County Re-Entry Coalition was established in 2014. The coalition provides practical training and
work-release opportunities for inmates so they can build a life outside prison walls.
The coalition also has developed resources to help with housing and finding jobs, and, while inmates
are still serving their sentences, with developing life skills. Counseling and other support is available
for mental health problems.
The resources are compiled in a book, and all police officers, social workers, judges and volunteers
have copies. The guide is also available to all inmates and can be found on the Centre County
Correctional Facility’s website.
Mark Fraily, a member of the Centre County Pennsylvania Prison Society and the re-entry coalition,
said he thinks the county is ahead of the national average on re-entry.
“It’s not always politically correct to do what we’re doing,” said Fraily. “The political and popular thing
is to be tough on crime — lock them up and throw away the key. But that’s changing ...
“Important people in the county have come together, all the right players have come to the table,
identified a problem and admitted there’s a problem, and have said, ‘Let’s fix it.’ ”
Based on the performance of the coalition in Centre County, other counties in Pennsylvania have
asked for support in developing their own re-entry coalitions. Fraily said he has traveled to Blair
County to talk about the coalition and how Blair can work toward establishing its own.
Centre County Commissioner Michael Pipe is chairman of the coalition, which has more than 20
members. Representatives come from the courts and a number of criminal justice, social service, law
enforcement, mental health, faith-based and community organizations.
Among the members are Centre County Correctional Facility Warden Richard Smith, State College
police Chief Tom King, First Assistant District Attorney Mark Smith and Chief Probation Officer
Thomas Young.
The coalition meets every other month in the community room of the county prison. Its next meeting
is June 10.
One of the goals of re-entry is to prepare inmates to get jobs. Last year, 784 men and 189 women
were released from Rockview state prison and the Centre County Correctional Facility. The resources
serve those who stay in the county.
Both the correctional facility and Rockview have collaborated with several local businesses and
organizations, including Centre Peace, to provide work-release opportunities.
Centre Peace, established in 1994, sells used and refurbished furniture, appliances and household
items. It employs inmates from the two local correctional facilities.
Thom Brewster, the executive director for more than 10 years, has ample experience working with
inmates At Centre Peace, they are referred to as trainees.
14
“We don’t call them inmates or prisoners because here, that’s not what they are,” said Brewster.
“Here they’re working, not serving time.”
Trainees learn how to reupholster furniture, stain wood items and even work on their own projects.
Brewster explained that a favorite part of his job is seeing trainees’ reaction to the sale of an item they
worked on. He noted how accomplished and proud the trainees feel, which teaches them that hard
work pays off.
Despite community uncertainty when it opened, Centre Peace has become an example of how a reentry program can succeed, Brewster said.
Hundreds of inmates have worked there, and he said he has seen how rehabilitating inmates rather
than punishing them can help a community develop an understanding of the penal system rather than
fearing it.
Other developments also have taken place to try to deal with the recidivism problem in Pennsylvania,
which releases an average of 56,000 inmates each year.
On Feb. 16, Gov. Tom Wolf signed Senate Bill 166 into law. It allows individuals who have served a
sentence for nonviolent third- and second-degree misdemeanors to petition the court to seal their
criminal history from public view. Law enforcement will continue to have access to their records.
The legislation will take effect in November. Proponents say it is likely to help curb the high rates of
recidivism and give those with lesser infractions another chance at entering the workforce.
Similarly, a “ban the box” movement aims to get rid of the spot on job applications that asks if
applicants have a criminal record. This does not prevent employers from conducting a background
check, but it allows a former inmate to be judged by other characteristics and qualifications before
being judged by their criminal history.
In 2012 in Pittsburgh, the Fair Chance Law was passed to remove the question from applications. It
applies to city employment and city contractors. In 2011, Philadelphia became the first city in
Pennsylvania to do so for both public and private work positions.

Healthcare at immigrant jail is substandard: watchdog group
By Nina Bernstein
Nelson Fernandez and his daughter Jennifer were still asleep when agents from United States
Immigration and Customs Enforcement knocked at their door early one morning two years ago. The
next minutes were a terrifying blur to Ms. Fernandez, a United States citizen, who recalls armed
agents swarming through their small Manhattan apartment and taking away her father, who is
disabled by a rare autoimmune disorder and dependent on blood thinners to prevent fatal clots.
15
Mr. Fernandez, a legal permanent resident for 26 years, suddenly was facing deportation to the
Dominican Republic, based on a 1992 drug conviction for which he had already served probation. He
was not facing new criminal charges. But like thousands of New Yorkers held annually in immigration
detention, he was taken to a county jail under contract to federal immigration authorities: the Hudson
County Correctional Facility in Kearny, N.J. There, unable to contact his family, he was soon bleeding
internally and pleading for medical care.
Mr. Fernandez’s case is one of 61 described as part of a pattern of substandard medical care at
Hudson in a civil rights complaint filed on Tuesday with the Department of Homeland Security. The
administrative complaint, brought by two citizens’ coalitions that monitor conditions in immigration
detention sites across the country, urges federal authorities “to immediately intervene to ensure the
health and safety of current and future immigrants detained at Hudson,” either by ending its contract
with the jail, which is paid $110 a day for each detainee, or appointing an independent investigator to
swiftly inspect and improve the jail’s health care policies and practices.
The eight-page complaint, a last attempt to seek an administrative remedy before a lawsuit can be
filed, describes Hudson as one of the three worst detention sites among 53 monitored by the
coalitions, Community Initiatives for Visiting Immigrants in Confinement, known as Civic, and First
Friends of NJ NY. The groups noted that the private health care provider at the Hudson jail, CFG
Health Systems, is seeking a five-year contract renewal at a cost of $29.4 million, to be voted on in
two weeks by the Hudson County Board of Chosen Freeholders. They urged the board to meet with
advocates to discuss the complaint before that vote.
Other cases cited in the complaint include a Queens man with a brain tumor taken into custody
before his scheduled surgery, who suffered worsening headaches, dizziness and seizures for nearly
four months before advocates succeeded in winning his release. The man, Claudel Dor, 36, now
fighting deportation to Haiti, said in an interview that jail health care employees denied him the
medication he had been taking to shrink the tumor, saying it was too expensive.
A jail spokesman declined to comment on the complaints, saying detainees were a federal
responsibility. CFG Health Systems did not respond to several messages seeking comment.
To advocates, the very nature of these complaints underscores how little has changed since 2009,
when the Obama administration announced an ambitious overhaul of the immigration detention
system, garnering front-page headlines. The system, a hodgepodge of local jails and for-profit
prisons, had come under fire for mistreatment of detainees and substandard medical care that
sometimes ended in detainees’ deaths. The administration promised to establish “a truly civil
detention system” under more direct federal oversight.
“The egregious conditions still continue,” said Sally Pillay, program director for First Friends. “I think
ICE really has to be accountable here.”

In an email, Gillian Christensen, a spokeswoman for Homeland Security, said that when the
complaint was received by the department’s Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, it would be
evaluated and further steps considered.
“Over all, the safety, well-being and housing conditions of those in U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) are of utmost importance to the agency,” she said. “ICE remains committed to
ensuring that all individuals in our custody have access to high-quality medical and mental health
care.”
16
Since January 2014, 121 people detained at Hudson have submitted medical grievances, with
corrective action taken in fewer than 3 percent of the cases, the complaint said, blaming Immigration
and Customs Enforcement for inadequate oversight.
One detainee filed multiple requests for specialty care, to no avail. When he was taken to his court
hearing, the complaint said, he was so weak and short of breath that the judge called 911 so he could
be taken to the hospital. There doctors discovered that he had a pacemaker with a battery that
needed immediate replacement.

resident for 26 years before he was deported. Credit Gregg Vigliotti for The New York Times
Other cases include a diabetic woman who is rapidly losing weight because she receives insufficient
insulin, according to the complaint, and a 71-year-old woman who says that she has lost most of her
sight during her confinement without being able to get an eye exam. Both remain in detention.
In Mr. Fernandez’s case, by the time he was taken to a hospital from the Hudson jail, doctors told him
he had a blood clot near his heart. But the agency’s response to an emergency complaint by Civic
was to speed up his deportation, the complaint said.
A New York judge agreed within weeks of his detention to reopen his 1992 conviction, which had
involved a hasty guilty plea to possessing less than a gram of heroin during a period when he
struggled with addiction. Mr. Fernandez said that he thought he had pleaded to possession, a
misdemeanor, but that the record shows his offense as possession with intent to sell, a deportable
felony.
The reopening of his case came too late — he had already been deported from the United States,
leaving behind his parents, his brothers and sisters, and his six children, all citizens, the youngest age
7.
“My life is there,” Mr. Fernandez, 45, said in a telephone interview from the Dominican Republic, the
sound of chickens in the background. His sole remaining relative, an aunt, has taken him in. His twin
daughters, one a paralegal, the other the executive assistant to a Manhattan chef, send him $50 to
$100 a month.
“There’s no treatment for me here,” he added.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/14/us/states-move-to-treat-17-year-old-offenders-asjuveniles.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=photo-spotregion®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0
States move to treat 17-year-old offenders as juveniles
By Eric Eckholm
NEW ORLEANS — When Chené Marshall got into a fight in high school, she assumed she might get
suspended. Instead, the police arrested her.
Then a 17-year-old junior with no criminal record, she did not realize that Louisiana was one of the
dwindling minority of states where all 17-year-olds are treated as adults by the criminal justice
system.
17
She was charged with battery, with bail set at $5,000. She was booked and clothed in a jumpsuit at
the Orleans Parish Prison, a notoriously violent facility where she bunked along with women of all
ages and histories.
“I had a fight that first night,” she recalled of her jailing in 2011. “It’s called ‘testing your weight,’ to see
if you’re scared or they can own you.”
She spent three nights in the jail before her great-aunt, who had raised her from infancy, could come
up with a bondsman’s $650 fee and secure her release.
Seventeen-year-olds cannot vote, buy cigarettes or even adopt a dog from an animal shelter. But as
of today, in nine states, including Louisiana, they are automatically handled as adults, rather than as
juveniles. In two states, New York and North Carolina, 16-year-olds are as well.
Now Louisiana and several other states among those nine appear to be on the verge of raising the
cutoff to the more standard age of 18 — part of a national “raise the age” movement that has won
bipartisan support, a result of concern about high incarceration rates and growing neurological
evidence that young people’s brains are different from adult brains.
A bill to phase in the higher age passed the Republican-dominated Louisiana Senate on May 2, has
the strong support of Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, and now appears to be moving forward in
the House.
A similar measure appears to be on the verge of adoption by the South Carolina Legislature.
Here in Louisiana, the change could alter the lives of close to 5,000 17-year-olds who are arrested
each year, mainly for nonviolent misdemeanors. Under the new law, even if they were given
prolonged stays in juvenile facilities, they could receive therapy and a chance for high school degrees
rather than criminal records and exposure to hardened criminals.
To allay concerns that the state’s juvenile system, already caught in a severe budget crisis, is not
prepared for an influx, the bill would phase in the change, with nonviolent offenders making the switch
in 2018, and the rest in 2020, said Josh Perry, executive director of the Louisiana Center for
Children’s Rights, which provides public defenders for children and has lobbied for the bill.
As in other states, prosecutors would retain the option to transfer juveniles who commit particularly
serious crimes into adult courts.
In the peak “tough on crime” years of the 1990s, many states acted to send more young offenders to
adult courts. But in the last seven years, Illinois and Connecticut increased the age for automatic
treatment as adults to 18 from 16, and Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Mississippi raised it to 18
from 17.
The experience in those states has bolstered the case for change, said Vincent Schiraldi, a senior
research fellow in criminal justice at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and a former
justice official in New York City and Washington, D.C.
While the declining crime rate makes comparisons difficult, evidence suggests that treating 17-yearold offenders as juveniles may reduce public costs over time, he said, because they are less likely to
commit future crimes than youths who are punished as adults. Fears that crime would rise or
detention facilities would be overwhelmed have proved incorrect.
Officials in Connecticut, Illinois and Vermont are even discussing raising the cutoff to 21, though this
is more widely disputed. In New York, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has proposed raising the age for adult
culpability to 18, but members of the Republican-controlled Senate have expressed concerns about
transitional costs as well as public safety.
18
In Lafayette, La., Rob Reardon, the director of corrections for the parish, explained why he thought
that both the state and the young offenders would be helped by treating 17-year-olds as juveniles.
“This is an adult jail,” he said, “and the outcomes for the young people just have to be terrible.”
On a recent day, the parish jail held eight male and one female 17-year-olds, awaiting adjudication for
crimes that ranged from trespassing to murder.
When they spend a few weeks in his jail, Mr. Reardon said — and for those who cannot make bail, it
is often 90 days or more — youths are expelled from school and never graduate.
The presence of 17-year-olds is also a major resource strain, he said. Inmates generally live in pods
of 13 cells with double bunks, or 26 to a pod. According to a federal law (one that has frequently been
violated in New Orleans), youths must be kept separate, so one entire pod was occupied by just the
eight 17-year-old boys, who were tended 24 hours a day by a guard. The 17-year-old girl was housed
alone in a unit with four cells.
The separation also means that the youngest inmates cannot take part in activities like kitchen work.
In the youth pod in Lafayette, guards had brought in coloring books and jigsaw puzzles to give the
boys something to do.
In New Orleans, Ms. Marshall, now 22, was lucky in some ways after her arrest.
A judge allowed her to enter a diversion program; if she attended an anger management class,
stayed drug free and continued in school, the criminal charge would be dropped.
She finished high school the next year. But now, five years later, she still lives with her great-aunt,
Yolanda Wills, in east New Orleans, where a mantel in their home is filled with Ms. Marshall’s high
school athletic trophies.
Ms. Wills, a retired school bus driver living on disability, said she was taken aback when the police
arrested Ms. Marshall and then was frustrated by what followed.
“They said that if she goes through the program, they’d clear her record,” Ms. Wills said.
“But it didn’t go anywhere,” she said.
What Ms. Wills and Ms. Marshall did not realize was that, while the criminal charge disappeared, the
arrest record remained.
Ms. Marshall said that because of that record, she has repeatedly been turned down for jobs — as a
superstore clerk, as a security guard and as a postal worker, among others.
She learned only recently from a public defender that her arrest record could be expunged — for
$500 in fees.
Ms. Wills does not have the extra cash, and Ms. Marshall has no way to earn it.
“I can’t pay to expunge the record, and I can’t get a job to get the money,” she said.

By Benjamin Levin (Opinion)
Obama’s Post-Prison Jobs Plan Is Not Enough
His proposal for federal employees is just a start
What happens after a prison sentence ends? For many individuals with criminal records, their
troubles are just beginning. Every year, more than 600,000 people are released from prison, but, a
year after release, more than 70% remain jobless. Finding a job can be even harder for people of
color with convictions or arrests on their record.
To address these obstacles, President Barack Obama recently made a major policy proposal: “ban
the box” for all federal employment. This policy would forbid employers from requiring job applicants
to disclose past convictions (i.e., they would remove the criminal history checkbox from the
application). While the specifics of Obama’s proposal aren’t entirely clear, the rule would mean that
federal job applicants wouldn’t be required to reveal any criminal history when they first applied for a
position.
Research suggests that obtaining employment is critical to reentering society, not to mention a key
step toward obtaining housing and a range of benefits. So a proposal that would put employment
within reach for more people should be cause for celebration.
But the proposal has limitations that show just how great the obstacles to reentry are—and how much
of a challenge it would be to ensure that formerly incarcerated individuals can find work.
First, the proposal would affect only federal employers, not private employers or state or local
governments. It may be that the proposal would encourage other employers to follow suit, but it’s
important to recognize that the rule (if adopted) would reach only federal jobs. While it’s not clear how
the government would reach private employers most effectively, it’s possible that tax credits or other
financial incentives might encourage private employers to take a chance on an applicant with a
criminal record.
Second, like most ban-the-box proposals, it would affect only the initial application. Employers would
still be free to inquire into an applicant’s history later in the application process, conduct criminalbackground checks, or fire a worker later based on past misconduct. (In fact, one issue with the many
ban-the-box laws generally is that they don’t specify when or how criminal history can factor into an
employer’s decision to hire or retain an employee.) Expanding the principles of ban the box might
require adopting a broader legal framework focused on discrimination against those with criminal
records (as some jurisdictions have).
Third, the president’s proposal wouldn’t affect the background rules of tort law that expose employers
to liability if they hire (or fail to fire) individuals with criminal records. In many jurisdictions, an
employer may be liable for “negligent hiring” or “negligent retention” if an employee with a criminal
record injures a customer, client or coworker. Therefore, employers may have strong financial
incentives to steer clear of applicants with criminal records. Without addressing the potential for
liability, ban the box and other similar proposals might still suffer from the hiring decisions of riskaverse employers.
Finally, the proposal doesn’t alter the massive web of licensing laws that prevent those with criminal
records from working in a range of fields. In an effort to provide insight into the lingering effects of a
criminal conviction, the American Bar Association compiles a National Inventory of Collateral
Consequences of Conviction. According to this compendium, thousands of state and federal laws
restrict employment for the previously incarcerated. (Indeed, 85% of the laws and regulations in the
inventory restrict employment.) Preventing a federal employer from including a check box on
application would be a good first step, but it wouldn’t eliminate these barriers.
20
Ultimately, the proposed federal policy would be much better than the status quo. And it would be
good if the federal government followed the example set by a range of state and municipalities. But
it’s important to recognize the magnitude of the barriers to reentry and how far there still is to go.

PRESS RELEASE
May 10, 2016
Contact: George F. Halcovage, Jr., Chairman
(570) 628-1200
Schuylkill County Prison Board Chairman George F. Halcovage, Jr. today announced that the Schuylkill County
Prison is in receipt of an Order dated May 4, 2016 issued by John E. Wetzel, Secretary of the
Department of Corrections determining that the Schuylkill County Prison is ineligible to receive any additional
prisoners sentenced to a maximum term of 6 months or more but less than 5 years. This Order is in furtherance of
the continued efforts to reduce the Schuylkill County Prison population below the benchmark set by the Department
at 277 inmates as originally set forth in the Settlement Agreement with the Department of Corrections
dated July 28, 2015.
The Prison Board, in concert with the Schuylkill County Board of Commissioners, has worked diligently to
implement several programs including but not limited to work release, a day monitoring center and an inmate
diversion program. In addition, contracts with various state and county correctional facilities to house Schuylkill
. County inmates have been entered into and others are currently being negotiated and reviewed. The County has
already diverted OVer thirty inmates since the original order and additional inmates are presently being classi?ed for
transfer.
Commissioner Halcovage stated, ?Despite the County?s diligent efforts to reach the benchmark set by the PA
Department of Corrections, the cOntinued swelling numbers of inmates in-Schuylkill County has prevented it from
attaining that benchmark. The Schuylkill County Prison Board and Board of Commissioners are committed to
continuing to work with the Department of Corrections, the Schuylkill County Court as well as County Law
Enforcement professionals to insure that all inmate housing requirements are met and those individuals adjudicated
by the Court requiring incarceration will be incarcerated.?
The Commissioners will be reviewing the additional inmate housing agreements which upon approval will then
open additional out of county housing opportunities for Schuylkill County Inmates.
Attachment: Department of Corrections Order Dated May 4, 2016
DEPARTMENT SET-15-210
Introd notion
On July 28, 2015 the Commonwealth of Department of
Corrections (?Department?) and the Schuylkill County Prison Board (?County?)
entered into a Settlement Agreement concerning, inter alia, the triple ceiling of
prisoners at the County prison facility. This settlement arose after the parties agreed
that the triple-celling practice has resulted in violations of the minimum ?oor space
capacity requirements and bed capacity limitations as established in 37 Pa. Code
95.226(4) (ii) and 95 248(7).
The Settlement Agreement includes a Corrective Action portion that requires
the County to submit status reports to the Department on the ?rst of each
month, beginning on September 1, 2015 and ending on January 2, 2016, fully
describing the County?s progress toward compliance with corrective action
benchmarks. Para. 19(b). The Settlement Agreement also provides that ?on or
before November 24, 2015 the County Respondents shall ensure that the County
prison inmate population does not exceed its approved capacity of 277.? Para 19(0).
Further, the Settlement Agreement states that if, after January 1, 2016, the

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
10 Signs of Depression
Depression is a mood disorder which, according to the World Health Organization, is affecting over 350
million people across the globe. It is a complex psychological state which has physiological effects and
interferes with an individual’s routine functioning.
Since depression is relatively easy to neglect or recognize in both oneself and another person, one should
be well aware of 10 typical warning signs. Here’s a list of experiences that depressed individuals may
suffer.
1. Enduring Sadness
While everyone faces emotional highs and lows in life, depression is characterized by an enduring sense of
sadness which inhabits the mind completely. Depressed individuals feel a sense of utter hopelessness and
defeat as if life is completely meaningless. Such state of mind is different from ordinary unhappiness in
that it prevents an individual from functioning rationally and routinely in daily life. Therefore, depression
can be truly incapacitating, which makes it all the more advisable that professional assistance be sought at
the earliest on the onslaught of depressive tendencies.
2. Self‐Loathing Attitude
Many depressed individuals direct their misery inwards, blaming their own selves for everything that does
not meet their expectation. They become extremely self‐critical and doubt their capability to achieve
anything at all. Such self‐loathing leads to dissatisfaction and frustration, often even guilt at
underachievement or perceived uselessness. This self‐loathing attitude, coupled with low self‐esteem can
produce dangerous thoughts such as suicide being an escape from one’s own worthlessness.
9
3. Loss of Interest in All Activities
Depressed individuals find it very difficult to be suitably involved in routine activities at work, home or
elsewhere. Weighed down by their sadness, they cannot bring themselves to concentrate and engage in
any task. And when shying away from productive activity, they have all the more time to dwell upon their
unhappiness – it is indeed a vicious circle. Many times, there is even a loss of libido and sexual activity stops
being a priority.
4. Irritability and Isolation
In most instances, depressed individuals lose all their social bearings and are unable to act in a socially
appropriate manner. They are irritable in their interaction with others – no matter who they may be; their
family, friend or boss even. This short temperedness and general aversion to social interaction cause those
depressed to isolate themselves from others. They prefer being alone for hours at length, conversing with
others only when absolutely necessary.
5. Anxiety
This is a by‐product of several other symptoms of depression. Low self‐worth, coupled with the inability to
do anything productive or even engage with others’ socially, leads suffering individuals to become more
and more anxious. They worry about both their personal and professional future, feeling certain that they
are likely to fail at both. However, with some people, who descend to complete hopelessness with a sense
of intense despondency, such feelings of anxiety may be absent; they give up completely and are too
melancholy to dwell upon the consequences of their choices.
6. Loss of Energy
Fatigue and lack of energy are typically witnessed in depressed individuals. Their sense of defeat is so
severe that they do not feel capable of accomplishing even the smallest tasks. This is a highly problematic
scenario for working professionals who often jeopardize their job by virtue of their lack of energy and
responsiveness. Fatigue, when combined with poor concentration further hampers the quality of work
done. Thus, depression can have very grave consequences vis‐a‐vis one’s professional life.
7. Disturbed Sleep Patterns
Depressed individuals usually suffer from disturbed sleep patterns as well. In some cases, they develop
insomnia, which only adds to their fatigue, anxiety, irritability and low energy levels. More often however,
those depressed tend to sleep excessively, remaining in bed for an unhealthy amount of time. Some
complain that they are absolutely unable to leave their bed, feeling extremely lethargic and incapable of
movement.
8. Change in Appetite and Body Weight
This is another typical symptom that is observed in majority of those depressed. Change in appetite, both
complete lack of hunger and excessive binge eating, are very common. The corresponding changes in
body weight either lead to significant weight loss or massive weight gain. Though the same bodily changes
may occur in a person who is merely in low spirits but not depressed, depression causes more severe
changes wherein a minimum of 5% body weight alteration takes place in just a week.
9. Reckless Behaviour
With depression, one’s regular behavioural patterns and tendencies get altered. Even the most cautious
individuals may indulge in reckless, unthinking activity. From impulsive expenditure and ill‐considered
investments to adventure trips, indiscreet sexual activity and even substance abuse, people with
depression may resort to these, no matter how atypical such actions may be for them. Such reckless
10
behaviour tends to impact their relationship with other people as well as their professional life. As
mentioned above, depression poses a threat to all aspects of one’s life and should be treated with much
urgency in seeking aid.
10. Suicidal Tendencies
This is perhaps a most telling and dangerous symptom of depression. People with this mood disorder
spend a great amount of time thinking about self‐harm. They are plagued by morbid thoughts and often
research extensively on ways and means to induce death. It is all the more alarming that coupled with their
reckless impulsivity; these suicidal tendencies are at high risk of being realized. Therefore, it is highly
recommended that a person’s unusual fascination with the idea of death, not be taken lightly, especially if
other signs of depression are also observed alongside. Professional help must be sought immediately to
prevent any untoward, life‐threatening activity.

Attorney Phone Call Request
All:
At your request, we are going to open up our phone lines and allow local attorneys to have more phone contact
with their clients. Attorneys will be able to call in to a Counselor and set up a brief phone conversation. We
believe it will reduce anxiety, allow for attorneys to be more efficient with their time (and hopefully reduce the
amount of money being charged to the inmates), and we want to be supportive of the Judge’s needs. The
Counselors have a lot of responsibilities and are on time restraints. The attorney can request the call but we
don’t expect our Counselors to drop everything they are doing. They will be courteous and helpful but may
need to set up a time to have the inmate called to the office. The attorneys cannot expect immediate responses
every time they call.
We consider this a privilege and will deny an attorney if there are any issues. Some issues may be:
o Abuse of the privilege with frequent phone calls
o Using this as a way to have long meetings as opposed to simple requests
o Being disrespectful, demanding, or belligerent toward Staff
o Trying to involve a Counselor to the point that they may have to testify in court
You may inform the attorneys of this change as you see fit.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me directly.

Based on the direction below, should there be a budget revision established moving monies from Food

there?

Also, looking at the expenditures as a whole for the prison and comparing it to the revenue side; we are
currently running at last year’s levels, with a lot less revenue being received. I know you most likely are
aware but wanted to mention that this may be an area of concern.

Dear Current/Prior Employer:
We are considering your current/prior employee, ____________________________. The Prison Rape
Elimination Act (PREA) is a federal law passed in 2003 to address sexual assault of incarcerated individuals. With
the enactment of the law a set of standards were released to help jails and prisons prevent, detect, and respond
to prison rape. The Centre County Correctional Facility has a zero tolerance standard for prison rape/sexual abuse
and is committed to following the PREA standards laid out by the Department of Justice.
Part of the standards released address who can work within an institution as an employee or contractor. These
standards restrict us from hiring, promoting or contracting with anyone who: (§115.17 [a][1][2])
a. has engaged in sexual abuse in a prison, jail, lockup, community confinement facility, juvenile facility
or other institution; or
b. has been convicted or civilly or administratively adjudicated for engaging or attempting to engage in
sexual activity in the community facilitated by force, overt or implied threats of force, or coercion, or
if the victim did not consent or was unable to consent

FW: Schuylkill County Housing Contract
Schuylkill County Population Sanctions Letter 5-11-2016.pdf
All:
I feel compelled to give more detail on the Schuylkill County situation to all of you. My concerns are as
follows:
* The Schuylkill County folks, as you are aware had their Title 37 annual inspection by the State Dept. of
Corrections. They were cited for severe over crowding along with all the ills that accompany ovecrowding.
* They were directed to resolve the overcrowding situation.
* They secured a housing contract with Delaware County for male inmates. I believe Delaware has agreed to
handle
40 males. That contract is signed and they are housing the males.
* They have no real plan for females. This topic has been the majority of our discussions with them.
* The expectation was that the State would give them time to correct the entire situation after a positive
meeting with the Pa DOC several weeks ago.
* Some time last week they received the letter and the State imposed fines and sanctions to include
sanctions such as them being precluded from housing County commitments with minimum sentences
of 6 months or more.
* I offered immediate help by housing 5 to 10 females this week before a contract was actually signed. We
have
helped counties with immediate needs before and immediately submitted a contract for your Approval.
Examples were Perry County for 1 female. Elk County initially had a few inmates with medical issues and an
inmate with behavior issues.
* Our Schuylkill discussions prior to the letter were non emergent. That changed once they received the
unexpected letter from the State. The Warden phoned me and asked if we could house 5 to 10 females
toward the end of this week. We further had discussions about males. Those discussions involved males,
going forward not this week or even the following week since they were not confident that Delaware could
handle more than
the 40 they have. These 20 could be even more if Approved since the letter imposed actual caps on
population.
I need direction on the extent of help we can or want to give them. We are comfortable with an in house
1
Population of about 330 to as many as 350 . If the desire is to contract with more inmates staffing levels would
need to be adjusted.
I will discuss these issues in whatever fashion you direct. This issue was uncomfortable to discuss yesterday
in a meeting with a 6 page Agenda and an important Community theme. This theme was totally different from
the issues I presented along with the
number of staff, public, and media that were present.
I need direction on this important issue.

PRESS RELEASE
May 10, 2016
Contact: George F. Halcovage, Jr., Chairman
(570) 628-1200
Schuylkill County Prison Board Chairman George F. Halcovage, Jr. today announced that the Schuylkill County
Prison is in receipt of an Order dated May 4, 2016 issued by John E. Wetzel, Secretary of the
Department of Corrections determining that the Schuylkill County Prison is ineligible to receive any additional
prisoners sentenced to a maximum term of 6 months or more but less than 5 years. This Order is in furtherance of
the continued efforts to reduce the Schuylkill County Prison population below the benchmark set by the Department
at 277 inmates as originally set forth in the Settlement Agreement with the Department of Corrections
dated July 28, 2015.
The Prison Board, in concert with the Schuylkill County Board of Commissioners, has worked diligently to
implement several programs including but not limited to work release, a day monitoring center and an inmate
diversion program. In addition, contracts with various state and county correctional facilities to house Schuylkill
. County inmates have been entered into and others are currently being negotiated and reviewed. The County has
already diverted OVer thirty inmates since the original order and additional inmates are presently being classi?ed for
transfer.
Commissioner Halcovage stated, ?Despite the County?s diligent efforts to reach the benchmark set by the PA
Department of Corrections, the cOntinued swelling numbers of inmates in-Schuylkill County has prevented it from
attaining that benchmark. The Schuylkill County Prison Board and Board of Commissioners are committed to
continuing to work with the Department of Corrections, the Schuylkill County Court as well as County Law
Enforcement professionals to insure that all inmate housing requirements are met and those individuals adjudicated
by the Court requiring incarceration will be incarcerated.?
The Commissioners will be reviewing the additional inmate housing agreements which upon approval will then
open additional out of county housing opportunities for Schuylkill County Inmates.
Attachment: Department of Corrections Order Dated May 4, 2016
DEPARTMENT SET-15-210
Introd notion
On July 28, 2015 the Commonwealth of Department of
Corrections (?Department?) and the Schuylkill County Prison Board (?County?)
entered into a Settlement Agreement concerning, inter alia, the triple ceiling of
prisoners at the County prison facility. This settlement arose after the parties agreed
that the triple-celling practice has resulted in violations of the minimum ?oor space
capacity requirements and bed capacity limitations as established in 37 Pa. Code
95.226(4) (ii) and 95 248(7).
The Settlement Agreement includes a Corrective Action portion that requires
the County to submit status reports to the Department on the ?rst of each
month, beginning on September 1, 2015 and ending on January 2, 2016, fully
describing the County?s progress toward compliance with corrective action
benchmarks. Para. 19(b). The Settlement Agreement also provides that ?on or
before November 24, 2015 the County Respondents shall ensure that the County
prison inmate population does not exceed its approved capacity of 277.? Para 19(0).
Further, the Settlement Agreement states that if, after January 1, 2016, the
Department determines that the County has failed to comply with the benchmarks,
the Department shall issue a written statement to the County of its ?ndings and that
after February 1, 2016 the Secretary of the Department may, ?in his sole and absolute
discretion issue an order classifying the County Prison as ineligible to receive any
additional prisoners sentenced to a maximum term of 6 months or more but less than
5 years until further order of the Department.? Para 21?22. Finally, the Settlement
Agreement contains a Confession of Judgment that authorizes the Prothonotary of
Commonwealth Court, or any clerk or attorney of that Court to ?confess judgment
without process? against the County. Para. 23.
Findings
1. status reports were not timely submitted to the Department in
violation of the terms of paragraph 19(b) of the Settlement Agreement.
2. Based on the County?s self-reporting during the Department?s inspection of
the County Prison on November Zli, 2015, it was housing 302 inmates in
Violation of Section 19(0) of the Settlement Agreement.
3. The County?s prison population continues to exceed its approved prison
capacity of 277.
4. The conditions, as described above, Violate 37 Pa. Code 95.226(4) (ii) and
95.2480), which are essential minimum requirements, and those Violations
constitute a signi?cant and immediate threat to the safety and security of the
county prison, prison staff, inmates and the public.
Accordingly, I hereby
ORDER
The County Prison is ineligible to receive any additional prisoners sentenced
to a maximum term of 6 months or more but less than 5 years until further order
from the Department.

Mr. Smith,
We are working on the 16-17 budget and grant for the Adult Education Program. One of the items we collect is
a letter from the correctional facilities that states what we would be charged if we had to pay to utilize the space
for classes. We use this as a "match" for our grant.
I attached the letter that you sent last year. Could you please send me the same type of letter for the 16-17
program year? If the cost has increased, please be sure to reflect that in the letter.
If you have any questions, please contact me directly. We appreciate the continued effort between our program
and the CCCF.

Schuylkill County Housing Contract
"DRAFT"
All:
I feel compelled to give more detail on the Schuylkill County situation to all of you. My concerns are as
follows:
* The Schuylkill County folks, as you are aware had their Title 37 annual inspection by the State Dept. of
Corrections. They were cited for severe over crowding along with all the ills that accompany ovecrowding.
* They were directed to secure agreements with outside entities to resolve the overcrowding situation.
* They secured a contract with Deleware County for male inmates. I believe Delaware has agreed to handle
40 males. That contract is signed and they are housing the males.
* They have no real plan for females. This topic has been the majority of our discussions with them.
* The expectation was that the State would give them time to correct the entire situation after a positive
meeting with the Pa DOC several weeks ago.
* Some time last week they received the letter and the State imposed fines and sanctions to include
sanctions such as them being precluded from housing County commitments with minimum sentences
of 6 months or more.
* I offered immediate help by housing 5 to 10 females before a contract was actually signed. We have
helped counties with immediate needs before and immediately submitted a contract for your Approval.
Examples were Perry County for 1 female. Elk County initially had a few inmates with medical issues and 1

not an immediate need for 20 males since they were not confident that Delaware could handle more than
the 40 they have. These 20 could be even more since the letter imposed actual caps on population.
I need direction on the extent of help we can or want to give them. We are comfortable with an in house
Population of about 330 to as much as 350 but to do so will require a discussion involving staffing.
I will discuss these issues in whatever fashion you direct but this issue was uncomfortable to discuss today
in the meeting with a 6 page Agenda (extremely important ) but totally different from the other issues and
number of staff and public folks that were present.

I need direction on this important issue.

Warden,
I would like some clarification. Policy states that anyone temp released needs to be seen by medical upon their return
to the facility. I understand why it needs to be done if an inmate is gone for 24 hours or more. My question is why does
it need to be done on inmates only temp released for a few hours to attend court. We do not make our own inmates go
through medical when they are only out to court for a few hours. When an inmate is temp released and returned the
same day, the medical screen consists of 1 question,(Do you have any new injuries?). We can assess during the
unclothed search if there is any bruising, and if the inmate is complaining of an injury medical could be notified. It does
not make sense to do a medical screen on someone who is temp released for under 24 hours.

Warden Smith,
I’m emailing sizes for both uni sex and womens sizing. I don’t believe Dale gave you a quantity, if we could get
3 pairs, or if you have less of either size, whatever we can get is still appreciated.
Uni-sex – Large
Womens – 20
Thank you for helping us with this.

Dee,
I wanted to have you look at our two (2) new Attached Hiring Forms. We have our first
interviews tomorrow for new staff. I have attached the PA DOC’s forms on this subject. The PA
DOC has been PREA Certified and they are our oversight agency.
These 2 forms have been reviewed by Kristen. I need Approval to use them tomorrow. If not we
have to submit them by Friday to our PREA Auditor. I didn’t know if you wanted Betsy to look at
them.
Thank,
Rick

To be honest, I have blatantly cannibalized form the PA DOC, who is certainly PREA compliant in their hiring practices at
this point.
Please see attached two forms
1. Release of Information – applicant gives us permission to seek this information. I would suggest we make this a
part of the standard application along with the existing supplemental form.
2. Current/Prior Employer Questionnaire – When conducting the background, Coordinator Andrews attempts to
solicit from any former confinement settings.
During the initial interview, we would also ask the applicant about these areas.
I attached the DOC’s forms that I was working from.

We need to have these in place for the upcoming PREA audit, so help proofreading and any thoughts would be welcome
as soon as possible.

Perry County, PA and Schuylkill County, PA Housing Contracts
Dee,
Since our SCAN Function is shut off. I am sending these two (2) DRAFT Contracts via FAX to your
office. If you feel necessary please send to Betsy for Review/Approval.
If Review is not necessary I will submit each separately as usual for Approval by the Commissioners.
The background on each is as follows:
Perry County – We accepted one (1) female from them to house as a Favor. Our Policy is
whether we have one (1) or 100 we generate a contract since there can be significant Risk
and Liability for even just a single inmate. Although both contracts are identical, there is No
Rush on this contract.
Schuylkill Country – The State Department of Corrections threatened to close their jail when
they had their recent annual PA Title 37 inspection. They are experiencing SEVERE
Overcrowding and, in some cases are triple celling “Many” inmates. They met with the PA DOC
in mid-April and informed them that Centre County is agreeing to help relieve some of the
female and male overcrowding. In addition Delaware County, PA is agreeing to help with male
inmate housing. They need help As Soon As Possible. They are not permitted to move inmates
until the contract is signed by both parties
There are No Discounts in either contract since there are no large number of inmates guaranteed.

May 5 is World Hand Hygiene Day,
a good reminder of the
importance of washing hands
regularly.
What does washing your hands do?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, handwashing:
a) Prevents illness. Germs can spread quickly. But regular
handwashing can:
Reduce the number of people who get sick with
diarrhea by 31 percent.
Reduce diarrheal illness in people with weakened
immune systems by 58 percent.
Reduce respiratory illnesses, like colds, in the
general population by 21 percent.
b) Saves time and money. Handwashing is one of the
easiest ways to avoid getting sick and spreading illness to
others. One recent study showed that promoting clean
hands in work environments resulted in fewer employee
illnesses and less use of time off for sick days.
c) Helps families and businesses thrive. If you have
children, handwashing helps you avoid having to take
5
time off to take care of sick children and you’ll get sick
less often yourself. Promote handwashing at home by:
o Reminding children to wash their hands.
o Teaching them good handwashing technique.
o Washing your hands with your children.
Despite widespread knowledge of the importance of
handwashing, there is still room for improvement. A
recent study showed that only 31 percent of men and 65
percent of women washed their hands after using a
public restroom.
When should you wash your hands?
Before, during, and after preparing food
Before eating food
Before and after caring for someone who is sick
Before and after treating a cut or wound
After using the toilet
After changing diapers or cleaning a child who has
used the toilet
After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
After touching an animal, animal feed, or animal
waste
After handling pet food or pet treats
After touching garbage
What should you do if you don’t have soap and clean,
running water?
Washing hands with soap and water is the best way to
reduce the number of germs. If soap and water are not
available, use an alcohol‐based hand sanitizer that
contains at least 60 percent alcohol. Alcohol‐based hand
sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of germs on
hands in some situations, but sanitizers do not eliminate
all types of germs. Hand sanitizers are not as effective
when hands are visibly dirty or greasy.
Wash Up!
How should you wash your hands for the most effective clean?
1. Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.
2. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands,
between your fingers, and under your nails.
3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the "Happy Birthday" song from beginning
to end twice.
4. Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
5. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air‐dry them.

Warden,
I sent the request a few days ago for an day off (mostly personal time) and I am checking to see if it was approved.
Also, I had a few other off days previously approved for this month. I think the 18th makes it 3 in total (9th and 31st).
Do I have your approval to keep these days off?

All Staff:
As you are aware Corrections Employee Appreciation Week is Sunday, May 1, 2016 through
Saturday, May 7, 2016 (See Attached). An Inspection regarding compliance with PA Title 37 was
held by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections on March 15, 2016. Our Facility Achieved
100 % Compliance on the Inspection (See Attached). This level of Compliance was achieved with
all staff working together as a Team. We regularly receive comments from the public that the
facility is immaculately clean and has the appearance of a facility that only recently opened. In
fact, the facility opened in 2005. Our Staff consistently dress and act in a professional manner.
1
The Staff are caring and concerned about the Safety of the Public, Safety and Well Being of both
the Staff and Inmates.
Prior to my assignment to the Centre County Correctional Facility I was approached by four men
that had been incarcerated at CCCF. They stated that they were embarrassed to admit that they
had been incarcerated in several correctional facilities in their life but stated that the only place
they were ever incarcerated where they felt safe was in the Centre County Correctional Facility.
As a Corrections Professional this is the ultimate compliment that facility staff can receive. This
means that our staff operate the facility in a caring, fair, and humane manner having complete
control of the facility.
The following Staff will be recognized for their exemplary service during the past year (See
Attached):
Employee of the Year: Counselor Danielle Minarchick
7-3 Officer of the Year: Officer Kevin McCool
3-11 Officer of the Year: Officer Kelly Evans
11-7 Officer of the Year: Officer Brian Beals
Supervisor of the Year: Kitchen Manager Kevin Brindle
These Staff Members will be Honored at the Thursday, May 12, 2016 Prison Board Meeting at
8:00 AM in the CCCF Community Room.
We have been authorized to purchase one (1) red foldable picnic chair with Centre County
Correctional Facility Logo for all Uniformed Security Staff (See Attached).
NOTE: Uniformed Staff received five (5) complete sets of Polos and Trousers along with
accessories during the past year.
In addition, each department (Food Service, Maintenance, Treatment, and Administration) shall
receive one (1) Polo shirt with embroidered name and facility logo in the following colors:
Dark Green – Food Service (Silver Embroidery)
Royal Blue – Treatment (Black Embroidery)
Tan – Maintenance (Black Embroidery)
Light Grey – Administration (Black Embroidery)
NOTE: Staff are permitted to wear these Polos On Duty. If these Staff wish to purchase
additional Polos they may do so through Deputy Warden Gordon.
Our thanks to all of you for a Job Well Done!

WHEREAS, correctional system is the oldest in the Nation, evolving from the
establishment of Philadelphia?s Walnut Street Jail in 1773 and the Eastern Penitentiary in 1829; and

which house more than 100,000 inmates; and
WHEREAS, the safe and secure operation and management of those facilities on a daily basis rests in the

business administrators and purchasing agents, personnel and labor relations specialists, clergy, medical
professionals, food service specialists, computer technicians, planners and research and skilled
craftspeople upon whose skills, ef?ciency and professionalism support the functions of the

correctional facilities where employees work to reduce future crime through the delivery of programs to
change offenders? criminal behavior;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the Centre County Board of Commissioners does hereby

Corrections Officer until October of 2003, when he was promoted to Lieutenant. He worked in this capacity until

on 7‐3 since the inception of this position. Among other duties, re acts as a daily liaison with the Medical

movement needed for that area. CO McCool’s experience and ability to coordinate have been of great help to the
operation.
3‐11 Officer of the Year: Kelly Evans
Corrections Officer Kelly Evans has been employed as a Corrections Officer with the facility since July of
2013. She is a graduate of Hanover Area Jr/Sr High School, and attended Penn State Wilkes‐Barre. In her post as
the 3‐11 unit officer in the female unit, CO Evans has displayed incredible consistency in her management of the
unit and handling of inmates’ issues. She is often able to resolve issues in a fair, straightforward way without
having to refer the issues on to the Shift Commanders. CO Evans completed the Centre County Crisis Intervention
Team Training in January of 2016, and her composure and calming nature were noted by the trainers. She has
been able to apply these skills actively helping inmates experiencing a crisis in the facility.

to his job and dedication to providing quality meals for inmates and staff within the budget. He cares about his
staff, and is supportive while enforcing the rules and policies of the kitchen and facility. His staff is quick to step in
when he is not available to assist as needed. This reflects the support he has as a supervisor, and the
effectiveness and professionalism of those he supervises. He has an important role in the facility’s 100%
compliance for the PA DOC Inspections. With staff shortages, he and his staff consistently work long hours and
take on extra duties to ensure the kitchen continues to run efficiently and effectively. He is often called upon for
special meals, snacks, and drinks for routine meetings and special events with short notice and is always quick to
help and offer assistance when needed. The kitchen provides quality meals in a timely manner on a day‐to‐day
basis with little if any disruption. He is a true asset to this facility in one of the most diverse roles to manage.

are on the call-in list. if the full~time employee list has been exhausted and the shift has not been filled
it will be offered, using a seniority and rotational format, to the part-time employees. ifthe parttime
employee list fails to ?ll the shift and after both the fuil~tlme and part-time list have been exhausted

equal opportunity for overtime. The Warden, in his discretion, may schedule part-time employees to fill

minutes prior to the following shift.
6. Once the employee completes their mandate, the date and shift will be re?ected on the

You Too, Can Become More Patient
Patience isn’t easy, but it’s good for you.
By Angela Haupt
Patience, they say, is a virtue. An elusive one, at that. In a world that caters to our every want and need
and whim—and now—why wouldn't we turn red‐faced and huffy when we're forced to wait a minute or
two or 10? Why slow down when racing around does us just fine?
Turns out there are plenty of reasons. Patience, or the ability to tolerate waiting, delay, or frustration—
without becoming agitated—boosts both our mental and physical health. When we lose it,
3
our bodies release stress hormones, increasing heart rate and blood pressure. Over time, that extra stress
could also contribute to lower‐back pain, tension headaches, menstrual problems, and even infertility.
Plus, when we're impatient, "we tend to be more tired, more easily overwhelmed, and quicker to anger or
be frustrated," says psychologist Jennifer Hartstein, who's based in New York. "If we can be more patient,
we'll be healthier. We'll also stay calmer and more focused in our lives, which allows us to participate more
fully in each experience we have. We enjoy life better when we're patient."
In addition to making us happier and healthier, patience encourages better decision making and problem
solving. We can assess situations more thoroughly and weigh the pros and cons. It also helps us develop
understanding, empathy, and compassion, which strengthens our relationships with others. "People can
read impatience on our faces, and they react and become anxious," says clinical psychologist Melanie
Greenberg, who's based in Mill Valley, Calif. "It doesn't bring out the best in them. And that goes for work
relationships, intimate relationships—all of them."
Think you'll always tap your foot in annoyance when you're waiting in line? Not necessarily. Sure, some of
us are more naturally inclined to tolerate traffic jams and never‐ending waits. But patience is a skill we can
all learn, so long as we're willing to put in some work.
Try these expert‐recommended strategies:
Pay attention to your triggers. Does your patience wane when you're baby‐sitting your 3‐year‐old nephew?
Waiting in line at Starbucks or the doctor's office? "The best thing we can do is be curious about our
impatience," says psychologist Elisha Goldstein, author of The Now Effect: How This Moment Can Change the
Rest of Your Life. "If we can name something and face it, we can overcome it." Spend a week or two
keeping a patience journal, jotting down everything that causes you to lose yours. Once you're aware of
what gets you worked up, you can anticipate those situations and take preventive steps to remain calm.
Meditate. You may not be able to do it amidst a trying situation—don't close your eyes or leave the outer
world behind while you're in gridlock on the interstate. But experts suggesting adopting a once‐a‐day
meditation routine. It can help you find a center of calm within yourself, and once you know how to reach
that calm place, you can go there when your emotions start to flare. Meditation is a helpful way to remain
content in the present, rather than anxiously anticipating the future or dwelling on the past.
Take an adult time out. When Jaime Cundy starts to feel impatient, her pulse races and skin tingles, and
every muscle in her body contracts. She overcomes it by taking a time out. "We send our kids to the corner
when they're being bad, but sometimes adults need to just take a second," says Cundy, a positive
psychology practitioner in Alberta, Canada. "It could mean three deep breaths, listening to or singing a
song, or just sitting down for a few minutes." Removing yourself from the situation will help you refocus
and look at it more objectively, she says. During that mini‐break, you can figure out a way to either remedy
the roadblock, or realize that it's out of your control.
Slow down. Hartstein suggests making a conscious effort to walk and eat and even breathe more slowly.
Identify one area of your life where you can afford to slow down, and do it. You'll likely notice a positive
difference in how you feel, mentally and physically. "Life moves quickly," she says. "It's easy to internalize
this speed into your daily life. But everything can wait five minutes."
Distract yourself. So you're standing in line at the DMV. For two hours. Dampen those negative feelings by
playing a game on your iPhone , reading a chapter of a trashy romance novel, or squeezing in a call you've
been meaning to make. "What can you do to refocus your energy?" Hartstein says. "Maybe this is a chance
to think about the things you'd like to do later, or turn the frustration into something enjoyable. If you
don't usually get time to flip through a magazine because you're busy, do that while you're in line."
Look at the bigger picture. Did that guy in the Volkswagen cut you off to deliberately tick you off? Is the
barista taking a painstakingly long time because she has a vendetta against you? Probably not. Keep in
mind that anyone who tries your patience could be in the midst of their own awful day—and not out to
make things worse for you. "I was being a bit of a jerk when I was getting impatient and road raging,"
4
Cundy says. "I've realized that other people have things going on, too, and now I can take a second and
empathize. Maybe their car is breaking down, and on top of that you're screaming at them on the road.
Remember that other people have lives too, and your issues aren't at the center of that."
Expect the unexpected. Nothing will go your way all the time. Keep your expectations realistic, and realize
that, sometimes, it's necessary to roll with whatever life tosses our way. Losing your patience won't make
subpar situations any better. Flexibility and acceptance will.
Embrace it. "There's definitely a place for impatience," Cundy says. "You can't always sit there and be OK
in the moment. Sometimes you do need to move things along." The trick is knowing how to recognize
those situations. "It comes with practice and understanding where your impatience is coming from and
why," Cundy says. "Then you can figure out how to act on it." If, for example, five people came into the
sandwich shop after you, but were helped before you, no one will blame you for speaking up.
Be patient with your impatience. You're not going to change overnight. And that's OK: "You have to be
patient as you learn patience," Hartstein says. "We tend to be an immediate gratification society, and want
what we want when we want it, even when we're learning a new life skill. Unfortunately, it doesn't work
like that. It's important to give yourself time to learn it, and accept the fact that it will be a challenge to
learn."
And, good news: You've already made it through this story, which is a sign that there's patience within
you. Congratulations!

Dear All,
I spoke with Sonya Wilmoth from the LGBTQ Resource Center on Penn State’s campus. They provide trainings‐free of
charge, for groups (Police, VA, student organizations etc.) and would be willing to do a training for us. They have two
basic trainings for us to start out with, the first one is a three hour session that provides a basic knowledge about
working with and supporting (being an ally) to LGBTQ individuals. The second training is called Transgender 101, and
identifies the unique barriers that individuals who identify as transgender might face. These are just basic descriptions of
the sessions, and I can get more detailed descriptions if needed. Sonya said we could run these two trainings back to
back if needed. She said we could also create a program to tailor to our staff if we wanted to. Next steps would be
contacting Sonya at
to look at scheduling a training (if we wanted) and we would also need to speak
with Allison Subasic (the Director of the center) to fine tune the details for the training. I told Sonya that we would need
some time to schedule this as it involves many moving parts with about 115 people who work all different shifts. Again,
the training is free of charge, and Sonya seemed really willing to help us. If I can be of any help with this, please let me
know. I know that Counselor McGhee has worked with Allison Subasic in the past and is eager to help out as well.
Thank you,

The software currently used in those offices is old and has been phased out by Microsoft. The hardware it runs on is on

Is that acceptable?

Dear Department Heads, Elected Officials and Backups:
Please see that I have attached new guidelines for employees to follow after an auto accident with a
county vehicle.
Kindly pass this on to your staff and keep for reference.
The new guidelines are easier on Supervisors because the Transportation Dept. and Risk Management will
handle the details.
You no longer need to have the employee fill out a report, simply have them follow the enclosed
instructions.
In June, when we pass out new insurance cards, we will include these guidelines so every county car has a
reference guide.
We do hope that safe and defensive driving will prevent the guidelines from having to being used at all!

the sessions, and I can get more detailed descriptions if needed. Sonya said we could run these two trainings back to
back if needed. She said we could also create a program to tailor to our staff if we wanted to. Next steps would be
contacting Sonya at
to look at scheduling a training (if we wanted) and we would also need to speak
with Allison Subasic (the Director of the center) to fine tune the details for the training. I told Sonya that we would need
some time to schedule this as it involves many moving parts with about 115 people who work all different shifts. Again,
the training is free of charge, and Sonya seemed really willing to help us. If I can be of any help with this, please let me
know. I know that Counselor McGhee has worked with Allison Subasic in the past and is eager to help out as well.
Thank you,

Hi Rick,
The software currently used in those offices is old and has been phased out by Microsoft. The hardware it runs on is on
the “decommission as soon as possible” list. We are in the process of evaluating alternatives to replace it. We can
include your group in the plans for next product.
Is that acceptable?
Thanks,
Bill

Is it possible to install instant messenger software for all CCCF Staff except Corrections Officers.
Please include Wilmer Andrews (CBC) with this software. I believe the DA’s Office and Human

All Staff:
As you are aware Corrections Employee Appreciation Week is Sunday, May 1, 2016 through

fact, the facility opened in 2005. Our Staff consistently dress and act in a professional manner.
The Staff are caring and concerned about the Safety of the Public, Safety and Well Being of both
the Staff and Inmates.
Prior to my assignment to the Centre County Correctional Facility I was approached by four men
that had been incarcerated at They stated that they were embarrassed to admit that they
had been incarcerated in several correctional facilities in their life but stated that the only place
they were ever incarcerated where they felt safe was in the Centre County Correctional Facility.
As a Corrections Professional this is the ultimate compliment that facility staff can receive. This
means that our staff operate the facility in a caring, fair, and humane manner having complete
control of the facility.

Employee of the Year: Counselor Danielle Minarchick
7-3 Of?cer of the Year: Officer Kevin McCool

These Staff Members will be Honored at the Thursday, May 12, 2016 Prison Board Meeting at
8300 AM in the Community Room.
We have been authorized to purchase one (1) red foldable picnic chair with Centre County
Correctional Facility Logo for all Uniformed Security Staff (See Attached).
NOTE: Uniformed Staff received five (5) complete sets of Polos and Trousers along with
accessories during the past year.

To be honest, I have blatantly cannibalized form the PA DOC, who is certainly PREA compliant in their

Please see attached two forms
1. Release of Information – applicant gives us permission to seek this information. I would suggest
we make this a part of the standard application along with the existing supplemental form.
2. Current/Prior Employer Questionnaire – When conducting the background, Coordinator
Andrews attempts to solicit from any former confinement settings.
During the initial interview, we would also ask the applicant about these areas.
I attached the DOC’s forms that I was working from.
We need to have these in place for the upcoming PREA audit, so help proofreading and any thoughts

FW: Phone Contract Amendment Proposal
Centre County PA FCC GTL Contract Amendment Offer Letter 4.15.16.pdf
Dee:
We need to discuss these 4 proposals. We recommend Option #1 which will reduce our annual
commissions from approx. $60,000 to $0.00 or Option #3 which will reduce our annual
commissions from $60,000 to approx.. $20,000.
Regardless of which Option we select I have directed GTL to add one phone in each Housing
Unit, Shift Commander’s Office, the two (2) new Counselor Offices, etc. which will increase our
Commissions if we select Option #3. NOTE: There is no cost to install the additional phones.
It appears the courts are clearly headed to denying nearly all Commissions. We are already at
about the lowest rates of all the surrounding counties. Can we discuss?

Do You
Secretly Fear
Retirement?
Do
you fear retirement? Many
people secretly do. They
worry about being bored,
losing meaning in life that their job provides, having fewer friends, or dying
sooner. Good news. Research does not
support these fears. On the contrary, retirement usually boosts
positive lifestyle changes. You are likely to be more active,
sleep better, and reduce your sitting time when you retire. Data
revealed that retirees increased their physical activity by 93
minutes a week, decreased sedentary time by 67 minutes per
day, increased sleep by 11 minutes per day, and smokers often
quit. Sound good? Start planning to get what you want in your
golden years. You may later wonder in your active retirement
how you ever had time to work!

Safety at the
Pool This
Summer
D
rowning is the #1 cause of
death for children ages one to
four years old, according to
the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC). Reduce risk of drowning accidents by not becoming
complacent about water safety. Complacency consists of two
things: lack of experience with the tragic event and denial that it
can happen to you. Prevent complacency by reminding children
to be cautious and having an adult stay aware. Pool lifeguards
are crucial, but drowning incidents, although rare, have occurred
even under their watchful eye.
Yes, the EAP
Can Do That!
An
employee assistance
program can help in
many ways you may
not have considered. Here are
two: 1) Assessment, support, and
counseling to assist you in following through with rigorous and
mandatory steps required of you by your employer associated with a performance improvement plan; 2) Support and
guidance to help you follow through with requirements imposed on you by the courts for offenses such as a conviction
for driving under the influence (DUI), domestic violence, etc.
If in doubt about whether your employee assistance program
can help, always ask.
Apps for
Health
and
Recovery
H
undreds
of apps for wellness, losing weight, mental health, and
recovery from addictive disease have arrived on the
market over the past several years. Apps run on smartphones and other mobile devices. Many are free or very inexpensive. Recovery apps provide convenient and practical
tools to help those recovering from alcoholism track sober
time, manage triggers and emotions, find and share 12-step
meetings, contact your sponsor discretely, receive daily inspirations, and more. A visit to Googleplay.com or iTunes along
with a keyword search for any health-related term will display
many choices. Ratings may help find the best app for your
need.

Increasing Your
Intrinsic
Motivation
I
ntrinsic motivation is inner drive.
It is your ability to do something
without being prompted by an external or outside stimulus. It is also
the ability to act according to the way
you think instead succumbing to how
you feel at the moment. Thinking you
should exercise, for example, and summoning intrinsic motivation to
do it instead of slouching on the couch is intrinsic motivation in action. To acquire more of this life-changing behavioral trait, follow
these steps: When deciding on a goal, come up with as many
“reasons” to do it as possible. This is called finding the “big why.”
The more reasons produced, the more urgency you’ll feel. Also list
positive feelings you have for your success. This will multiply the
effect. Break your goal into small pieces to overcome mental resistance to this new behavior. If daily exercise requires getting off the
couch to put on running shoes, write it down as a step. If the very
next step is putting your hand on a door knob to leave, write it down.
This highly conscious process can start you toward having better
reflexes to respond immediately to goals with action steps. That old
internal debate of “should I or shouldn’t I” will diminish or vanish.
Practice is the key to developing intrinsic motivation, but acquiring
this skill will lead you to the achievements that come from it.
Standing
Up for
Millennials
M
illennials
(Generation Y) include those persons
born in the early 1980s to the early 2000s. They’ve grown up with a
larger world view because of the Internet, and are the most educated
and tech savvy generation in history. Millennials have been raised to
feel highly confident, possess a hunger to experience “it all,” have a
strong desire to improve their world, are civic-minded, seek social
justice, and want to be leaders—78% see themselves as such according to one study. You may notice a new trend of bashing millennials. Don’t get caught in this intolerance fad that borders on discrimination. If you find the drive, high expectations, confidence, and
strong self-esteem of millennials off-putting, remember that they are
seeking happiness with the tools they’ve been given just like every
generation before them.

Good-to-Know Soft Skills
Collaboration
If
you are a
good workplace collaborator, you are
prized by your employer because
you are a goal
achiever. Effective
collaboration is a
learned skill to maximize productivity by teaming with others. Don’t confuse collaboration with simple cooperation.
Both are positive behaviors, but collaboration is proactive
and heavy on taking initiative. Think of bicycle pedals.
One pedal does not “cooperate” with the other. Instead, it
is an equal push. This is collaboration. Enhance your ability to collaborate: 1) Know what each team member’s role
will be. 2) Have fast and efficient ways of communicating
to address key issues. 3) Create a tradition of team members seeking immediate clarification when unsure or unclear about tactics, tasks, or goals. 4) Spot conflicts early,
and resolve them before moving forward. 5) Put group
goals above an individual member’s personal reward for
success. Failure to do so will create hidden agendas and
adversely affect communication and lessen your achievements. 6) Good team collaborators are tolerant of each
other’s quirks and shortcomings, but when personal behaviors threaten progress, make them a group concern
for problem resolution.
Blood-borne
Pathogens
on the Job
T
here are over millions
of employees nationwide
in work positions that place them at higher risk of
being infected by blood-borne pathogens. Blood-borne
pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood
that can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that
causes AIDS, and the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Can you
guess the most important prevention tool? It’s your attitude. More specifically, this means treating all bodily fluids on the job as though they are infectious. Does your
organization offer or require education on blood-borne
pathogens? If so, don’t miss it.

Launching Young Adults into College
by
Vincent J. Morello, Ph.D.
W
e were not prepared to watch our son head off to a college 400 miles from home.
Sure, we made all the financial arrangements, bought clothes and school items, and took
care of his everyday needs. That part was easy.
We drove our son to campus, attended as many orientation meetings as we could, and smiled at
him when we waved goodbye. Within an hour or two after leaving him, waves of sadness washed
over my wife and me.
We were alone. No longer did he need us as he formerly did. Our son could and would take care of
himself from now on. The 24/7 parental roller coaster came to an abrupt halt. My wife and I were
thrown into a state of intimacy we had not known for years.
We had so many questions. Would our son adjust to college? And what would we do with ourselves?
The psychologist, Erik Erikson, revealed why the empty nest is such a difficult time. He re-
marked that between the ages of 40 and 65 years individuals need to master the developmental task
of generativity, which essentially means taking care of another person.
Vincent J. Morello, PhD
is a licensed and certified school
psychologist working at Pathway
School in Norristown, PA, and in
private practice at Wayne Counseling
Center in Wayne, PA.
The most common, but not the only, way to master generativity is through parenting. Failure to
master generativity carries the risk of stagnation, the feeling that life is empty and lacking in personal fulfillment.
As adults are thrown into the empty nest, their sense of generativity is suddenly pulled away from
them and they face a sense of stagnation if they cannot find alternative means to nurture others.
The family life cycle is a continuous journey of alternating challenges interspersed with periods of
relative calm. The challenges occur in the first year of marriage, at the birth of a child, the loss of a
parent, a change in job or location, reaching the empty nest, retirement, and loss of a spouse.
Launching young adults into their college years is both a happy and stressful occasion. I discovered that psychologists need also to use what they teach to others:
• Share your experience with other parents whose children have just left for college.
Knowing that your experience is not unique can provide comfort.
• Meet parents of college graduates. Learn how they coped when their young adults moved
to college and what their experience of the empty nest was like.
• Stay busy. If you were accustomed to being on the go from morning to night 7 days per
week, find ways to continue to feel productive and useful to others.
page 1
Launching Young Adults into College
• Get involved in a new venture. This is a time in life to consider how you would like to spend time in a meaningful or
enjoyable way. Take up a new hobby. Join a social club. Volunteer your time. Or go back to school and take classes yourself!
• Consider the website – www.emptynestmoms.com – for advice from other parents.
Acting confident that your young person will be successful in college is one of the most important things you can do. Young adults
pick up feelings from their parents and can be prone to anxiety when parents feel worried that their child “won’t make it.”
Just as important, parents need to demonstrate to their children that they, too, will adjust well to their new lives without their children. It is quite common for young adults to worry about their parents’ psychological health as well as their physical health. When
young people are free from worry about their parents’ well-being, they can focus all of their energy on the demands of college life as
well as the freedoms that college bestows.
So, consider the fact that you still are a parent, even though your child may be separated from you in a college far from home, and s/he
still needs your help. Here’s what you can do to help launch your young one successfully:
• Let your college students know you miss them, but are not depressed and lonely without them. Convey the sense that you
are doing well at home.
• Avoid the tendency to call your student on a daily basis. College students need a sense of distance from their parents. It is not
necessary for them to share every detail of their college life on a daily basis. Calls once or twice per week for most students are
sufficient.
• Focus most of your telephone conversations on their activities in school, not what is happening to you at home or with their
old friends from high school.
• If your young person shows doubts about the ability to be successful in college, provide reassurance that although the first
few months can be trying, you are absolutely confident s/he will succeed.
Expect that your college-age child will have some adjustment problems. Most students do. Problems occur with teachers,
roommates, difficult schedules, and adjusting to the greater demands of college life.
It is important not to be the one to try to solve your child’s problems. What you can do is let your child know that he or she has
choices in how to solve problems and that there are many resources on campus to use in solving them. Therefore, if you child complains about adjustment problems, there are many things you can do.
• Let your child know that adjustment problems are common and usually resolvable.
• Suggest that your child work with college personnel, such as the residential assistant, college counseling center or academic
advisor to resolve various types of problems.
• Feel free to suggest alternatives to problems, but stop short of giving your student the “solution.” After all, students are in college to learn independence so they can solve problems for themselves by the time they graduate.
Now that our son is in his senior year in college, we can say we have enjoyed his college years. We have had some happy visits to his
school, met some of his friends, and learned about his campus and studies.
We have also enjoyed our empty nest at home. Although this period of life initially seemed concerning, it has been a wonderfully
rewarding adventure for parent and child.

Brad,
We need your HELP! As soon as possible! I Attached our Worker Clearance Sheet to explain that
we only have two (2) women on Outside Clearance for CCCF Grounds. The Problem is that we
have five (5) workers on Actual Work Release in Town! I promised inmate Brenda Trude months
ago that she could work in town on Work Release. She has been Approved/Hired to work at
CHAMPS on North Atherton. This will leave me with only one female to cut all of our grass.
In addition we have to maintain the Garden. The Kubota Zero Turn Riding Tractor is down for
parts that have been ordered some time ago. What I am going to have to do is have the Work
Release inmates cut grass on weekends, evenings and on their days off. To keep up though we
need riding mowers. I checked with Dee this morning and she stated we can Immediately buy
our new Tractor as long as we have three (3) Quotes.
Please help us get the new Zero turn ordered and delivered As Soon As Possible (ASAP) ! I don’t

Warden,
Our records show you have not attended Supervisor sexual harassment training. We need to set up a time, preferably
within the next two weeks, for you to come to Human Resources for Training. The training takes approximately 30‐45
minutes and is required.

Status Contract Negotiations Northumberland County, PA- Draft Email
Mental Health (Northumberland - Huntingdon County Letter 3-22-2016.docx
Dear Commissioner Schiccatano,
I want to respond to your proposal for a long term contract with Centre County for Northumberland
County male and female inmates. Important to note is the fact that Centre County primarily houses
Out of County inmates honoring our commitment to be a Team player in our Surrounding community
and throughout Pennsylvania. Counties that we currently house for (Huntingdon, Clearfield, Elk)
typically send inmates that do not have serious behavioral, mental health, and/or medical problems.
When we reduced our PerDiem fees on February 15, 2016 from $69.00 to $65.00. We always receive
a phone call directly from the Warden or Deputy Wardens explaining any issues that an inmate may
have along with when we can expect to receive the inmate.
In the two (2) most recent incidents we received an inmate by the Northumberland Police (Robert
Carl) who is noted on the attached report. This inmate came with no medications including
psychotropic medications, no tracheotomy supplies and he notes that he is scheduled for major heart
surgery in March 2016 at Giesinger Medical Center.
On Saturday, March 26, 2016 we received a call that a Northumberland County inmate had assaulted
a Corrections Officer at Union County and was being transferred to Centre County. I was contacted
and stopped this transfer.
As you can see from what is occurring on the attached report and most recently through the
weekend we feel it is prudent that we discuss the terms of the contract going forward. Our terms are
as follows:
Three (3) year contract with the right by either County to cancel the contract at any time with
90 days’ notice without cause.
With a commitment of three (3) years and a minimum of fifty (50) beds the per diem shall be
$62.50.
If the current contract continues as it currently exists, Northumberland County shall give
Centre County sixty (60) days’ notice prior to completion of each year of the contract of their
request to continue or terminate the contract. Centre County will respond in writing thirty (30)
days prior the contract ending whether the request is approved. As per the current contract,
either County may cancel the contract at any time without cause with thirty (30) days notice,
For clarification, Centre County shall be reimbursed for all Officers’ time and expenses on any
outside medical trip Emergency or Non-Emergency.
1
Whether a new contract is Approved or not we must have a mutually agreed on minimum
policy for sending and receiving inmates regarding institutional record, arrest records,
medication to accompany inmates, medical information
Due to the Extremely High Risk that Centre County is experiencing the rates expressed herein are
Fair and , more than likely lower that they should be. We need an answer by Wednesday, April 6,
2016 on the new contract since our staffing will be affected and there is an ongoing cost on that and
other issues.
Thank You,
Richard C. Smith, Warden

March 22, 2016
Warden Richard C. Smith;
During the weekly Inmate Services meeting held on Wednesday March 16, 2016, it was brought
to my attention by Amy Miller – Centre County MH/ID/EI-D&A-Forensic Case Manager that at that
current time the Centre County Correctional Facility had no Centre County inmates on a Suicide Watch
Status. All of the current inmates on Suicide Watch Status were contracted inmates from other counties.
This information prompted me to take a snap shot look at all of the inmates in the RHU’s (Restrictive
Housing Units) and the Special Needs Unit (Suicide Watch Status).
Currently there are a total of 26 inmates housed in RHU’s and Special Needs Unit (Suicide
Watch Status). Of these 26 inmates, 16 are Centre County inmates and 11 are contracted inmates from
other counties. The total in house population for today March 22, 2016 at the CCCF is 280 inmates, of
which 209 are Centre County inmates, 66 are from contracted counties and 5 are DOC Technical Parole
Violators.
As a member of the PRC (Program Review Committee) I believe that the following inmates are
currently the most problematic and resource demanding:
Unnamed Inmate - Huntingdon County- committed to CCCF on 12-30-14. Placed on Suicide watch 11
times, currently on A/C (Administrative Custody) status. This inmate has always been housed in the
RHU or Special Needs Unit. His current charge is Indecent Assault Forcible Compulsion person less
than 13 years of age. Inmate is awaiting an inpatient admission to Danville State Hospital.
Derek Clifton – 16-0049-Northumberland County- committed to CCCF on 1-12-2016. He has been
on A/C (Administrative Custody) status since his commitment. He has 91 misconducts from his past
incarceration in the DOC. His current charge is Aggravated Assault by Prisoner.
Unnamed Inmate– Huntingdon County – committed to CCCF on 1-12-2016. He is currently on D/C
(Disciplinary Custody) status. He was placed on Security Risk for assaulting three CCCF staff members.
Shauna Ruch – 15-1266 – Northumberland County – committed to CCCF on 10-23-2015. She is
currently on A/C (Administrative Custody) status because of her institutional history at Snyder
County, she was resisting being handcuffed. Snyder County asked for her to be removed from
their facility.
Joshua Purcell – 15-1202 – Northumberland County – committed to CCCF on 10-06-2015. He is
currently on D/C (Disciplinary Custody) status because of numerous misconducts here at CCCF.
He previously was on Security Risk Status for threatening to kill a CCCF correctional officer, and
destroying facility property. He was also placed on Suicide Watch status for threatening selfharming behavior.
Thomas Bennett – 16-0287 – Northumberland County- committed to CCCF on 03-01-2016. He is
currently on Suicide Watch Level 1 A/C (Administration Custody) status because of self-harming
behavior here at the CCCF as well as past institutional behavior at SCI Coal Township.
Jericho Linkchorst – 16-0363 – Northumberland County – committed to CCCF on 03-18-2016.
Placed on Level 1 Suicide Watch upon commitment. His current charges are Aggravated Assault,
Simple Assault, Disorderly Conduct, Harassment, Public Drunkenness, Reckless Endangerment, and
Possession of a controlled substance.
Peter Pereira – 16-0362 – Northumberland County – committed to CCCF on 03-18-2016. The
inmate was placed on Level 1 Suicide Watch upon commitment. Inmate admits to having a
Bipolar and ADHD diagnosis. His current charge is Robbery (Felony 3).
Raymond Delaney – 16-0257 – Northumberland County – committed to CCCF on 02-24-2016.The
inmate was laced into General Population after being medically cleared. His current charges are
Burglary, Criminal Trespass, and Use/Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. On 03-12-2016, Inmate
Delaney was issued a Minor Misconduct for Possession of Contraband and Taking Extra Food. On 0316-2016 he received a Major Misconduct for Destroying Facility Property and Possession of
Contraband. Inmate Delaney also reports that he has PTSD and experiences frequent seizures.
There have been 5 instances where a medical code was called and/or the Housing Unit Officer was
required to offer assistance to Inmate Delaney due to seizure-like behavior.
Brandon Brown – Northumberland County – Committed to CCCF on 03-22-2016. He received a
probation violation for Simple assault. Heroin detox needed for inmate Brown.
Alan Holmes- Northumberland County- Committed to CCCF on 03-22-2016. He was arrested for
manufacturing and possession with intent to deliver. He arrived with a broken arm, broken wrist,
potential shoulder injury. Immediate placement on Level 11 Suicide Watch.
Robert Carl - Northumberland County- Committed to CCCF on 03-22-2016. He was arrested for
manufacturing and possession with intent to deliver. He arrived with a tracheotomy and on psych.
Medications.
I am concerned that these ten (10) Northumberland County inmates require an inordinate amount of staff
time and facility resources. We are currently housing twenty (20) inmates from Northumberland County
and 50 % of these inmates are requiring special treatment. On the other hand we are housing twenty–
nine (29) inmates from Huntingdon County and only two (2) or .06 % of their inmates require special
needs. The total numbers in this report are current as of 3-22-2016.
Thank you for your time in this matter.
Jeffrey T. Hite – Director of Treatment
