Ist Quarter 2016 - The Georgia Jail Association
SPRING 2016 Countdown to Summer Conference 2016 The Georgia Jail Associa- tion’s Summer Conference returns to Brasstown Valley Resort in June of 2016. Situated near Brasstown Bald, the highest natural elevation in Georgia, Brasstown Valley Resort in Young Harris is a popular destination in North Georgia. The resort has hosted previous GJA conferences and is a favorite among members. Plans are well underway to make this year’s conference a great success. As always, the GJA Conference will feature jail and detention specific training from experts in the field as well as instructors from all around the state of Georgia. The Vendor Show is one of the most popular events at each Summer Conference. This year will be no exception. All of our vendors work hard at making this show a great success and offer some great door prizes for the event. GJA 2016 President Don Pinkard said the following about the upcoming conference “Brasstown Valley Resort has agreed to host the Georgia Jail’s Association Summer Conference this year. The GJA’s Board has worked very hard to put together a wonderful conference program. You will not be disappointed. In years past, Brass Town Ball Resort was well received and attended by many. The GJA has a great training curriculum planned, numerous fun activities for participants and their families. We were able to negotiate great room rates for attendees this year. The Georgia Mountains are a great place to visit this time of the year and watching the sunset from the resort’s balcony is spectacular, something you will not forget. As GJA’s President, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve our members.” Some of the Activities Planned for This year’s Conference: Friends and Family Cookout Vendor Show Prayer/Memorial Luncheon Golf Tournament Hay Ride Awards Banquet SEE PAGE 4 OR GO ONLINE TO GJAONLINE.COM FOR CONFERENCE REGISTRATION When making reservations at Brasstown valley Resort, please advise the representative that you are with the Georgia Jail Association.

Brasstown Valley Resort 2016 GJA Summer Conference Site Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa is a 134 room resort just north of Young Harris, Georgia, surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains at 2,150-feet of elevation. Picture-book spring times, breezy mountain summers, colorful autumns and mild winters mean there is always something fun to do at Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa. The property is adjacent to Brasstown Bald, the highest mountain in Georgia. Brasstown Valley Resort is the 503-acre home to a links style championship golf course which has hosted numerous tournaments including the LPGA Futures. The resort also features the Equani Spa, opened in October of 2008, and the Stables at Brasstown Valley Resort featuring 5 miles of riding trails. Brasstown Valley Resort features 9 miles of hiking trails including a trail that directly connects to the world famous Appalachian Trail. Stream or pond fishing, tennis courts, an indoor/outdoor pool, and a fitness center are just a few of the other amenities available at the resort. Whatever your interests may be, the area surrounding Brasstown Valley Resort offers something for everyone. From National Forest land to the local parks, trails, streams, and wildlife abound in the mountains of North Georgia. If you are more action oriented, the area lakes offer boat and jet ski rentals. Several locations offer zip lines. The Blue Ridge Mountains offer a wealth of cultural and agritourist sites. Both Crane Creek Winery and Hightower Creek Vineyards are within a quick drive for the wine enthusiast. If you are a fan of traditional craftwork, you may want to take in the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC. The gift shop at the school offers some of the finest pottery, metalwork, woodcarving and textile designs available in the southern Blue Ridge.

Bradfield, Atlanta Dept. of Corrections The City of Atlanta Department of Corrections’ (DOC) Inmate Work Detail can often be seen around town picking up trash, painting over unsightly graffiti and boarding up abandoned properties. However, in recent years they took on a new assignment that not only enhances the city’s landscape, but also ensures the physical safety of local bicyclists by removing debris from bicycle lanes that could otherwise cause accidents and injuries. “The Corrections Department recognizes the value that both commuter and recreational bicyclists bring to our city, particularly as it relates to choosing greener alternatives,” said Chief Patrick Labat, Atlanta Department of Corrections. “Collaborating with the Office of Planning to assist with the upkeep and ultimately the safety of the city’s bike lanes is just another shining example of how Atlanta’s citizens benefit from the department’s commitment to have a positive impact on the city beyond the walls of the detention center.” The partnership between the Department of Corrections and the Office of Planning’s Department of Planning and Community Development began in 2013 when the Inmate Work Detail cleaned a two-mile stretch of protected bicycle lanes in the city’s Midtown community on 10th Street between Monroe and Myrtle. Fast forward to 2015 and that relationship has expanded to include maintaining the bike lanes in Peachtree Center between Edgewood Ave. and Peachtree St. in downtown Atlanta. In each location, the Inmate Work Detail’s clean-up efforts include removing leaves, gravel and other obstructive debris from the paths of citizens who prefer the fun, healthy, pollution-free mode of transportation. "Protected bike lanes are newer in the City of Atlanta and maintenance of those facilities is essential to ensure the route is safe and enjoyable for bicyclists,” said Becky Katz, Chief Bicycle Officer for the City of Atlanta. “The Office of Planning and all offices of the city are thankful for our intrade- partmental relationships." The DOC allows eligible inmates from the Atlanta City Detention Center to earn “good time” on their respective sentences by participating in the Inmate Work Detail Program. Eligible inmates are defined as non-violent, minimum security detainees who are charged with misdemeanor offenses. The Inmate Work Detail currently maintains the bike lanes at the abovementioned locations three times per week with an average clean-up crew of approximately six inmates. The maintenance of the protected bike lane on 10th Street supports Midtown bike commuters, recreational riders in Piedmont Park and Atlanta BeltLine east side trail users. By separating people on bikes from people in cars, the flow of traffic and safety of the corridor has been improved. Jamille E. Bradfield is the Public Information Officer for the City of Atlanta Department of Corrections.

Bradfield, Atlanta Dept. of Corrections The City of Atlanta Department of Corrections (DOC) recently launched a pilot program for the deployment of body-worn video cameras to its corrections officers who are assigned to its municipal detention facilities. The new body cameras are Generation 2 of the BodyWorn video cameras by Decatur, Georgia-based company, Utility, Inc. The Atlanta DOC is the first and only jail in the country to use the BodyWorn recording technology to document interactions with inmates. “The addition of body cameras is just another example of the Department’s commitment to transparency and accountability,” said Chief Patrick Labat, Atlanta Department of Corrections. “We are huge proponents of being proactive and putting measures in place to mitigate any potential threats to the safety and security of officers, staff and detainees, evident by the stationary video cameras throughout the jail as well as the new video cameras installed in our inmate transport vehicles last year. Deploying body cameras was the logical next step to accurately capture incidents in real time, as it is just as critical for the officers who supervise and transport incarcerated individuals to have the technology as it is for the law enforcement officers who make the initial arrests.” cording. Similarly, the device can be programmed to detect its wearer’s elevated heart rate and automatically activate recording. Other features of the video camera include but are not limited to hands-free operation; highdefinition resolution; internal GPS; video streaming; cellular backup; and discreet uniform placement. BodyWorn Generation 2 offers a host of enhancements previously unavailable on the Generation 1 model, such as it now uploads video simultaneously while recording is in progress. The video is stored on a secure cloud allowing video evidence to be secured immediately without having to manually connect it to a docking station at the end of an officer’s shift. In addition, the new technology features an internal accelerometer that senses changes in G-forces. For example, if a corrections officer takes off running or gets into a physical altercation with an inmate, the BodyWorn camera will automatically begin re- The Atlanta DOC purchased 130 cameras for its 238 sworn corrections officers including 36 supervisors and 16 VIPER special response team members. Individual cameras are assigned to corrections supervisors and members of the Department’s VIPER team. The balance of the cameras are distributed to each officer on duty for each of the three shifts (morning, day and evening) at the Atlanta City Detention Center, as well as the department’s pre-trial and Grady Memorial Hospital detention facilities. The recording devices are signed back in at the close of the officers’ respective shifts.

DEADLINE FOR NOMINATION LETTERS IS MAY 29, 2016 Page 8 The Informer Post-TASER Confession: Is a Waiver Knowing & Voluntary? Jack Ryan, PATC Legal & Liability Risk Management Institute A study conducted by Drexel University and Arizona State University has reached a conclusion that officers should wait an hour after a TASER™ deployment before Mirandizing a suspect in order to give the suspect a recovery period in order to ensure that their waiver of rights is knowing and voluntary. [i] Jack Ryan study suggest that people who have been shocked with a TASER™ may be unable to understand and rationally act upon his or her legal rights, and may be more likely to waive their Miranda rights directly after TASER™ exposure or to give inaccurate information to investigators. These decisions can have profound impact on an eventual judicial finding of guilt or innocence." As a result the researchers are suggesting that officers wait 60 minutes after deployment before Mirandizing a suspect. A summary of the study reported: "New research from a first-of-its-kind human study by Drexel University and Arizona State University reveals that the burst of electricity from a stun gun can impair a person's ability to remember and process information. In a randomized control trial, participants were subjected to Taser shocks and tested for cognitive impairment. Some showed short-term declines in cognitive functioning comparable to dementia, raising serious questions about the ability of police suspects to understand their rights at the point of arrest. [ii]" The summary described the method of the study that used four groups of individuals. A group of 37 participants did nothing prior to be being tested for levels of understanding; 32 people hit a punching bag to simulate the "heightened physical state one might expect in a tense police encounter"; 35 participants did no activity but received a 5-second deployment before being tested and 38 struck the punching bag and received the five second deployment before testing. The participants' ability to mentally understand was tested prior to participation, immediately after the deployments, an hour later, and then a week later and then scored based on their level of cognitive ability. According to the study, the subjects who had been subjected to the TASER™ deployment had a temporary but significant disruption in their ability to understand, indicating that based on the scoring of the tests, the subjects' disruption was comparable to that of a 79-yearold. The study also noted that some of the individuals also suffered a detrimental impact on the ability to concentrate; anxiety, and a feeling of being overwhelmed. The researchers noted that the test subjects were healthy young adults who were sober and accustomed to test taking. It should also be noted that the subjects who were subjected to TASER™ received the probe mode through the attachment of alligator clips with one on their shoulder and one on their lower back. The researchers concluded: "The findings from this Bottom Line: Without taking a position on the validity of this new study-it would be suggested that officers allow a suspect sufficient time to recover from the TASER™ deployment before attempting to Mirandize and question the suspect. The burden to show that a waiver of 5th Amendment rights was knowing and voluntary rests with law enforcement/prosecution. Thus, unless there is some articulable necessity to start questioning the subject, officers should consider waiting 60 minutes before questioning. (Note-it is recognized that in a DUI case where the process includes state rights, waiting may not be an option). Officers should document the time between the TASER™ deployment and the reading of Miranda. As always, documentation should indicate whether the TASER™ was used in the drive-stun or probe mode.

The Newsletter of the Georgia Jail Association Page 9 Chaplain’s Corner Al Booker, GJA Chaplain Good day and Happy New Year everyone! This is the time of year where for decades, people across the nation decide to make a change in their life. We all know this decision to be the New Years Resolution. It’s funny I spoke with the manager of my local gym about this season and he a great deal to say. He stated that this one month out of an entire year is when the gym makes the most money. He said people are so determined to change their lifestyle, eating habits, and even make the at- tempt to get their high school figure back. He said everyone starts off strong then by mid-February customers are dropping like flies. Of course, I laughed but then his next statement was so profound. He said, “Al, everyone wants a change, but they fail to realize that change takes time.” I began to relate his statement to our daily duties as deputies and supervisors. Many of us in this profession, govern our days by a strict schedule. Every task we have must be completed by a certain time frame that we set or someone else sets for us. Unfortunately, this timetable mentality trickles over into our personal lives. We have dreams and ambitions that we expect to come to fruition by our deadline. All of a sudden life happens, goals aren’t accomplished when anticipated and frustration sets in. Then we began to ask the question, “why?” Well there’s a simple passage of scripture that helps us with our timetable irritation. Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us, “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” The thing about time we all must remember; is that it belongs to God. So let’s not rush God to complete our goals and aspirations. Instead trust Him for his timing. God Bless, Chaplain A.
