General
The Deerfield Correctional Facility was located on 30 acres and was immediately adjacent to the southwest boundary of the Riverside Correctional Facility. All buildings had sealed concrete slab floors and were weatherized. Walls were covered with plaster board and the facility had acoustic-tile ceilings. The prison consisted of separate buildings for administration, food service, maintenance, educational programs, a print shop and prisoner housing.
Programming
Academic programming included: Adult Basic Education, General Educational Development and Life Role Competency classes.
Vocational training included office occupations, building trades, graphic arts, printing and building maintenance. The public works program involved work crews that fulfill general labor contracts with local governmental agencies. Impulse control therapy and psychotherapy were provided for sex offenders.
Prisoners were provided on-site routine medical and dental care. Serious problems were treated at the Department's Duane L. Waters Health Care in Jackson, and emergencies could be referred to a local hospital.
Security
Security included two 12-foot fences, rolls of razor-ribbon wire, sensor and electronic systems and fence-mounted perimeter cameras. A patrol road surrounded the perimeter and armed personnel supplied continuous security.
