BUTNER CONCENTRATES ON REPEAT OFFENDERS WITH RECORDS OF VIOLENCE, AND PARTICIPATION, AFTER A THREE MONTH PERIOD, IS VOLUNTARY. BEYOND THE REQUIREMENT THAT EACH INMATE PARTICIPATE ALWAYS IN AT LEAST ONE WORK AND ONE WORK OR SELF-IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITY, AND THAT THEY ATTEND ALL STAFF-PLANNED ACTIVITIES, INMATES CHOOSE THEIR OWN PROGRAMS AND SCHEDULES. A PROPOSED EVALUATION PROJECT IS DESCRIBED.
