BY THE U.S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFF CE



Report To The Mayor Of The

District Of Columbia








Lessons Can Be Learned From

Corrections' Reduction-In-Force

Resulting From Budget Cutbacks


A 1981 reduction-in-force in the D.C.
Government's Department of Corrections
triggered a temporary but significant adverse
effect on prison operations. Although the
Department's staff did a creditable job of
coping with its problems, GAO found that
this RIF could have been better managed.

   --The Department of Corrections did not
   adequately communicate information
   about the RIF to the staff.

   --A lack of cooperation existed between
   Corrections and the D.C. Office of
   Personnel, and neither agency gave
   RIFed employees formal assistance and
   outplacement support.

 The D.C. Government stated that it would
 consider GAO's recommendations for im-
 proving operational procedures but did not
 specify what type of actions it would take to
 implement them.
