nn Parrett said 100 of the prison's 1 ,016 prisoners are
on work re ease. He said he would like to see the numbr
on work release raised to 200.
Self-betterment programs
Parrett said other "self-betterment" community
based programs include an educational release
program, which allows prisoners to attend the
university of Nebraska, and the Sidney Program, which
allows inmates to attend a technical college near that
western Nebraska town. ,
Parrett said he has long and short range goals for the
complex, but that he is not ready to discuss them now.
Right now, We're trying to get on top of what we are
currently doing, to maintain effectiveness in those
areas and to expand them by having more of the prison
population involved in the current programs."
Correctional Plan
He said further expansion of prison programs will be
detailed in the Correctional Plan which will be
submitted to the Legislature and Governor on Dec. 1
Among penetentiary programs that Parrett said may
be firsts in the nation are:
Project Youth, where a panel of inmates speak to
civic organizations and schools concernng the inmate's
felony violations.
The Checks Anonymous Program, which groups all
those jailed for check-cashing -felonies in weekly
meetings. The inmates, through a fee they charge
themselves, pay back the full amount of bad checks
they have written to the particular business that
received the check. Under the program, Parrott said the
Inmates also talk to business groups about the
"pitfalls" in their check policy.
Not a 'hardliner'
Parrott said he is not a "hardline rtisrinlirwian " Rut

"If they violate a rule, they know me and know that
they are going to have to answer to the Adjustment
Committee," he said.
"But they also know that after the violation, it won't
be held against them," he added.
Parrett said he tries to look at both sides of any
argument or violation involving inmates and prison
officials.
Regarding his overall philosophy of corrections,
Parrett said that he "thinks they are salvageable
persons: And we work toward that end to redirect them
back Into society to be constructive productive citizens.
