Unique Programs

• Three Medical Units provide inpatient medical services to inmate-patients in need of intensive skilled medical and nursing care. Two units house patients with short-term needs. The third unit provides specialized care for those patients with significant long-term medical needs and/or with significant physical disabilities.
• The CARE (Creating A Responsive Environment for the Terminally Ill) program provides palliative and holistic end-of-life care for inmates suffering from advanced terminal illness. A multidisciplinary team addresses the medical, mental health, spiritual and daily assistance needs of each inmate-patient. The involvement of family members and Stephen Ministry community volunteers and inmate companions also support the program's goal of providing the inmate the opportunity to die with dignity.
• The Family Reunification Program encompasses special events designed to strengthen family bonds. These include annual Father/Child Father's Day, Teen Event, Birthday and Holiday celebrations, Mother's Day programs and Family Worship opportunities that bring families together for days of talking, sharing and fun activities.
• Inside Out Dads is a 12 week program which provides tools to assist participants to take responsibility for their role as a father following release from prison.  Program content includes such things as fathering from a distance, child discipline, stages of childhood development, building and nurturing relationships with children and the role of fathers.
