Ms. Barbara Boyle

According to Barbara Boyle, Director of Social Work and Addiction Services, Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, 40 of these inmates could benefit from a special care environment."This number has remained constant over the last three years.It may grow as the population with very long or life sentences ages" (Boyle, 1999).

Boyle, B. (1999).

The best moments of the conference were when a former prisoner ( Timothy Shands ) who was on a panel spoke out frankly about the unrealistic expectations that are placed on released prisoners and when , during a question and answer period , an advocate ( Debra Hickman , Exec. Dir. of Sisters Together and Reaching ) rejected the suggestion of DOC Social Worker Barbara Boyle that the community people and organizations should come into the prisons to prepare prisoners for release.

Barbara Boyle ( Director of Social Work and Addictions , DOC ) sang Ernie Law's song.She said that DOC has forty ( 40 ) social workers for a population of over 20 , 000 prisoners.Each has a caseload of 500 clients , she said.All they can deal with is the special needs population.When I asked her later how many positions they requested for the FY 2000 budget , she said they had been cut in 1991.I again asked about the budget request for next year , and she said she did not know. [ Apparently , Ms. Boyle failed to request more positions ; which allows the Commissioner , the Secretary , the Governor and the General Assembly to avoid responsibility. ].
