A slew of new wardens and stepped up training for correctional officers are

A General Assembly- initiated study will recommend pay increases.
One long term solution is making its way out of computers and into reality.
Construction is underway on four new state-of-the-art, super-maximum

If idle hands do the devil's work, Angelone's got a minimum security
solution: hand out chainsaws.
About one in nine inmates is a non-violent offender who qualified for an
inmate work crew -- re-building parks, sprucing up public properties around the
state.
But the new bottom line for some of the state's worst inmates is permanent
isolation.
