He complained that the grass is foot high in the median strip of the highway in front of his office "and here we sit with thousands of people just sitting." Beard said security needs to be increased if the road camp program is retained or expanded. The chance of escape is greater than it used to be because rules now prohibit guards from carrying shotguns and prisoners no longer I S.E.

The staff wrote that while highway maintenance needs are greatest in urban areas, most of the camps are in rural areas. The number of camps has dropped as Corrections puts more emphasis on rehabilitation, converting urban road camps into community correctional centers.

Some lawmakers say the camps were scaled down in response to political pressure because of a belief that road gangs spoil Florida's image with tourists. "As a result, the Department of Transportation is currently not able to effeciently absorb the increased numbers of prisoners into its work program," the staff wrote. "The present system therefore appears to be both inefficient and inequitable. Accepting the premise that finding meaningful work for prison is a sound policy, then alternative programs for using a greater number of prisoners should be established where feasible." Some legislators, including Beard, suggest another solution expand the number of camps and put prisoners TALLAHASSEE (AP) Almost 750 prisoners are in the state's nine prison road camps, but the Department of Transportation doesn't have enough work to keep them ail busy. Yet DOT must pay the Department of Corrections for the operation of the camps whether the prisoners are working or not This year DOT has budgeted $6.8 million for the road camps.

"We feel quite strongly that the Department of Transportation is not getting their money's worth out of the inmate labor," says Senate Transportation Committee Chairman Malcolm Beard, D-Seffner. Beard's contention comes at a time when all state agencies are strapped for cash and the Legislature is considering ways to raise more revenue for road building and maintenance by hiking taxes on gasoline or license fees. Beard's committee has ordered its staff to review the road camps before the Legislature convenes in April. "A preliminary staff report concluded that the arrangement doesn't serve the needs of either department.
