Abstract
The Sumter Correctional Institution aims to rehabilitate youthful offenders and prevent recidivism through a short period of incarceration and a setting of military discipline. It is intended as a program of diversion from longer-term incarceration. The program includes marching drills, physical training, drug treatment, counseling, and a work component. The shock incarceration unit is separate from the general inmate population and is staffed by personnel with specialized training. The manuals explain the programs, daily routines, visits, privileges, and other rules and regulations. Diagrams, schedules, and budget information
