MISSION STATEMENT
“The mission of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections
is to protect the public, the employees, and the offenders.”
History
January 10, 1967 is an important day in corrections history. It was on this date that Governor Dewey Bartlett made a historic announcement in his Legisla-
tive address, when he said:
“I have had prepared for introduction, today, a bill creating a new Department of Corrections. This bill has been prepared, after consultation with leaders
of both Houses of the Legislature. It is a joint recommendation of your leadership and the administration. Briefly, this bill provides for the creation of a
new state Corrections Department, consisting of a state Board of Corrections, a state director of Corrections, and three divisions: a Division of Institutions,
a Division of Probation and Parole, and a Division of Inspection. The Division of Inspection will perform duties of the present Charities and Corrections
Department.”

Oklahoma Department of Corrections 2010 Yearbook 7
Foreword
Welcome to a brief and partial review of history for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections in the
form of this 2010 Yearbook. This is a unique way to capture portions of our history now, so questions
such as who was in charge of our industries program and what did it look like, can be answered in future
generations. Eventually, some information in these yearbooks will be incorporated into the next edition
of our history book.
For many years, our department has been nationally recognized for being one of the most efficient and
effective correctional systems. This has been reinforced through comprehensive audits, legislative interim
studies and a host of other reviews. This is a reflection of our dedicated professional employees’ “can do”
culture and ability to overcome obstacles, and is supported by the narratives and photos contained in
this yearbook. Years from now, the next generation of correctional employees can look at these reports to
garner an improved understanding of progress and history. Also, because it will be on the website, anyone
can access our history for research, studies, school assignments and an array of other possible usages.
A sincere thanks and a wealth of gratitude is extended to all of our employees for making 2010 another safe
and productive year. Although budget reductions placed many hardships on employees, the department
continued to be a national leader in relation to key quality indicators of a well-managed correctional
system.

Medal of Valor Recipient
Donnie R. Martin
Community Sentencing/Offender Information Services Division
August 21, 2009, at approximately 6:15 p.m., Donnie Martin was traveling south on US 75 in a
State vehicle as he returned from a day of work in Tulsa to his assigned office in McAlester. He
observed a vehicle in front of him, traveling in the same direction, move to the west shoulder and
then into the ditch. No brake lights were noted. Donnie lost sight of the car over the crest of a
hill but saw the top of a tree shake from an impact. He pulled over to the shoulder, turned on the
emergency flashers, and called 911. He then proceeded to the sight of the crash. Donnie observed
that a fire had started in the engine compartment of the wrecked vehicle and that the driver was still
in the car. He returned to the State vehicle, retrieved the fire extinguisher, and attempted to put out
the fire. The extinguisher depleted before the fire was completely out. After determining the male
driver was the only occupant of the vehicle, Donnie checked the neck of the driver for a pulse and
found none. He reported that information to the 911 operator and passed his phone to another
person to maintain contact. Donnie then attempted to open the driver's side door but found it was
jammed. Next, he tried, unsuccessfully, to pry open the door with his hands. Donnie then returned
again to his vehicle to search for a tool to help with the door. Finding nothing, he went back to
the wrecked car and continued attempts to open the door. Another man showed up with a digging
bar, which was used to pry open the door. By this time, the inside of the car was filling with smoke.
Donnie, along with the other passerby, removed the victim from the car, placing him a safe distance
away. At this time, law enforcement arrived and instructed Donnie and his assistant to move the
victim further from the vehicle. After doing so, Donnie left the immediate area so that CPR could
be administered and he could relocate the State car to make way for emergency respondents arriving
to extinguish the flames fully engulfing the wreckage and to administer further life-saving measures.
Despite the efforts of employee Donnie Martin, the victim, unfortunately, died at the scene from
massive injuries sustained in the crash.
While Donnie's day-to-day duties as a computer programmer are important to the agency, he does
not normally encounter life-or-death situations. On an ordinary workday, happenstance placed
Donnie at the scene of a crisis. At great risk to his own personal safety, he did not hesitate to attempt
the rescue of a fellow citizen. Donnie maintained a clear head and did everything within his power
to ensure the survival of the driver and the safety of the scene.

Volunteer of the Year
John Easley, Founder
GENESIS ONE NETWORK
GENESIS ONE NETWORK, founded in 2000, is a Christian, faith-based reentry
program that links an offender's personal growth and positive development while inside
to the availability of resources on the outside. A spiritual transformation is essential to
the successful transition from incarceration back to society.
Genesis One's chapters within DOC facilities develop individual Life-Plans for
its members that encourage change and growth in the important elements of their
life: Spiritual growth, vocational growth, educational growth, living skills, positive
behavioral change, as well as preparing them for successful reentry. All members are
required to attend weekly group accountability sessions. G-1's Life-Plan utilizes all
available programs and drives up the attendance in each: faith-based programs and
DOC sponsored programs.
Genesis One's outside team partners with those that can provide resources to Genesis
One graduates as they are released. These resources include housing, employment, food
and clothing banks, substance abuse recovery programs, legal, medical, and church/
mentors. The overwhelming positive relationships with G-1 graduates have created a
very receptive resource base.

2010 Teacher of the Year
Phil Collins
Howard Mcleod
Correctional Center
Phil went to work for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections in 1984 as a Food Service
Supervisor. He had worked his way through college as a food service worker, and was a full
time supervisor upon graduation. His plan was to pass his probationary period, and then
transfer to the education unit. Unfortunately, his plan didn’t happen any time soon. He
spent seven years as a food service worker before he could even get an interview with the
principal. In retrospect, those seven years grounded him in corrections.
In December of 1991, Phil transferred into the Education unit as a teacher. In the past
twenty years, He have taught ABE, GED, Literacy, and facilitated College courses. He as-
sessed new receptions at the reception facility, and spent time managing the correctional
library. He is currently the facility’s GED Examiner. He has fulfilled whatever role or duty
was necessary to serve our students. Phil spent twenty-two years working at a men’s me-
dium security facility and the last five years at a men’s minimum security facility. He has
seen corrections change from a “lock them up” mentality to a perspective that says we need
to effect change while we have the opportunity because a large percentage of our clients
will be returning to their communities.

CLARA WATERS
Clara Waters was the wife of Dr. George Waters, who was the warden of the Oklahoma State Reformatory in
Granite from 1920-1926. She had been actively involved in her husband’s work, so much so that one year af-
ter his death she was named warden of the reformatory. This appointment made Clara Waters the first female
warden in the United States to head a state prison. She also is reported to be the first female to head an all
male prison. While serving as warden, she developed the educational and vocational training opportunities
provided to the young offenders convicted of felonies and began the first in-house educational program at the
reformatory. This program eventually evolved into the Lakeside School, the first fully accredited behind-the
walls high school in the United States. Other accomplishments included a classification program to segregate
the younger offenders from the older inmates. In addition, she initiated a 24-hour day medical access pro-
gram at the reformatory, which later became a required standard at all correctional facilities.
