Organizational Structure
A prison in rural Northeast Georgia was named after Lee Arrendale, former Chairman of
the Georgia Board of Corrections he and his wife died in a plane crash. The prison has four
dormitories, a medical center, and was originally designed to be an all-male prison for young
boys through adulthood. After an incident with a teenage boy the prison system and everyone
involved took action which ended in a completely new organizational design and strategic plan
which called for moving all of the male inmates to other facilities. According to Prison Insight.
(2019) “Arrendale State Prison is a Georgia state prison for adult and juvenile female felons and
probationers. It is located in Alto, Georgia and can house a maximum of 1,476 inmates of mixed
security levels. This facility is the diagnostic and classification center for female inmates
statewide, and it also houses the female death row”.
When faced with problems like those at Lee Arrendale the management team should use
the organizations strategic plan as a guide to get everyone back on the right tract. They must look
at the way the plan is designed to address the problems. Some of the issues that cause
misalignment is related to behavior, lack of productivity, or employees and prisoners failing to do
the right thing. Meetings that go over the core requirements of the job and exactly how the
criminal justice department expects it to be done can be the first step in correcting the issues.
This involves going over the rules and addressing the weakness and strength that the employees
or correctional officers are using to complete the job they are working at. Setting new goals that
focus on the values and mission of the organization will help get everyone on the same page.
, Presenting the mistakes and consequences will help officials, managers and employees see why
and how they can learn from previous mistakes.
According to the National Criminal Justice Administration (2020), “A strategic plan is a
road map for accomplishing a goal in an effective and timely manner…..One of the core features
of an effective strategic planning process is its ongoing and cyclical nature. A sound strategic
plan is dynamic rather than static; it incorporates ongoing learning and continuous quality
improvement. For example, sustainable strategic planning requires: (1) ongoing monitoring of
progress in achieving expected results, (2) an assessment of problems, needs, internal and
external conditions, and (3) ensuring effective solutions on a routine and ongoing basis.
Knowledge of implementation progress and problems, and new or emerging conditions, informs
the planning process and maximizes effectiveness”.
The new organizational design included programs that benefit the inmates but also the
rural communities surrounding the prison. It seems unbelievable but they have even structured
and created the first all-female fire department. Prison Insight, (2019) “Arrendale is home to the
United State’s first all-female fire department and the state's first inmate fire department, thanks
to the Georgia Department of Corrections' (GDC) Fire Services Division. The GDC operates
many fire departments throughout the state, staffed solely by inmates, who are supervised by a
POST-certified, GDC employee who is also trained as a firefighter. The inmate firefighter
program provides protection to the largely rural communities near the prisons, as well as to other
locations in Georgia during emergencies. Inmates are carefully selected and are trained and
certified in accordance with Georgia law and the Georgia Firefighter Standards and Training
Council, as with any regular fire department”.
Female prisoners can also work towards their high school diploma and attend other adult
basic education and literacy programs. Some of the inmates are challenged mentally so they
offer special education classes along with counseling for all the inmates. Individual and group
