the other members of this Board and the administrators of all the prison units in Arkansas." "Our prison officials continue to face tremendous challenges because of the dramatic growth in the inmate population we've witnessed in the past two decades. I will work with them to the best of my abilities on solutions to these long-term problems," Glover said. The Arkansas Department of Correction has 18 prisons that are scattered all over the state with over 4,100 employees that are responsible for more than 17,400-plus inmates incarcerated in the system, including approximately 2,700 inmates that are backed up in county jails. The annual budget for the ADC is about $316 million. Arkansas Community Correction has six centers where they house 1,546 residents. The agency's 1,307 employees also supervise more than 53,000 offenders on probation and parole. ACC has an annual budget of approximately $77 million. The Arkansas Correctional School System provides classrooms in twenty of the ADC and ACC facilities, and employs 90 teachers and staff. Approximately 800 inmates earn a GED credential every year. Riverside Vocational Technical School which is a part of the Correctional School System provides programs at 8 of the ADC facilities and 3 of the ACC facilities. As a member of the Arkansas Legislature Glover sponsored legislation that set up current laws on pardons and paroles, to strengthen the authority of prison officials to keep habitual offenders off the streets. Also, he was chairman of the Legislative Ad Hoc Committee on Pardons and Paroles that wrote the law. In his career has been director of governmental affairs for the Arkansas State Police Association. He currently serves on the Arkansas State Police Foundation Board. He served as chairman of the University of Arkansas Criminal Justice Institute Advisory Board. Also, he has been Executive Director of the Arkansas Municipal Police Association. As a Senator he served as Chairman of the Legislative Penal and Correctional Institutions Committee. "Again, I am extremely grateful to the Governor for my reappointment to the Arkansas Board of Corrections, and the confidence he has bestowed in me."

The Board oversees the operations of the Arkansas Department of Correction (ADC), Arkansas Community Correction (ACC), and the Arkansas Correctional School System. Glover, a 28 year veteran of the legislature, left the Senate at the end of 2010 because of the term limits amendment to the state Constitution. Throughout his legislative career he has taken an active role in law enforcement issues. "I'm very grateful to Governor Beebe for this reappointment," Glover said.

New Bethel News

By Donna Kelly We enjoyed the beautiful weather although it was a little cool with the wind. We enjoyed services at church last week at the Revival. I just hope that everyone has a safe time as there are those who are traveling with school kids being this week is Spring Break. Our kids were over for dinner on Sunday, we always look forward to the time we share especially with the little ones. There have been several churches that have been in Revival meetings. Everyone is looking forward to Bible School this summer. There is a seminar Saturday for the purpose of getting things together for this event. I did visit friends at Chambers on Saturday afternoon. I have not been able to go for a while because I have had colds and the virus. I know that the farmers are on pins and needles wanting to get into their fields. It seems like we have a shower every day to keep them out of the fields. I had a phone call from Charlene Highfill on Sunday afternoon. We always have a nice visit. We attended church services Sunday evening at Bethlehem in DeValls Bluff where our grandson-in-law, Allen McElroy, brought the message. It was a very nice service. We wish everyone a good week. It is starting off that way with lots of sunshine.
