Unique Programs

• Intensive Prison Program: The Intensive Prison Program at FPRC is the residential substance abuse treatment program centered on the principles and practices of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  The program provides education, counseling and support within an intensive ten-week treatment experience.  Credentialed staff lead the offenders through a rigorous program schedule that includes alcohol/drug education and group sessions, academic instruction, life skills, community service, victim awareness, and physical conditioning.  Program goals include a redirection in lifestyle, increasing self-esteem, group cohesiveness, values clarification, principle-centered living, and taking responsibility for setting goals for the future.  Offenders learn how to live a fulfilling and productive life without the need for substances or a return to criminal behavior.  Participation is limited to those who meet established criteria and is subject to judicial approval.  Successful completion allows the offender to be released after completion of the 90 day program.
• Family Ties:  Family Ties programming at FPRC, initially established in 1998, is designed to support a strengthening of the bonds between the offenders, their children, and all members of their families.  Using an intergenerational approach, the activities are designed to offer healthy models of family activities to assist the women in learning appropriate and positive ways to engage in activities with their families.  Strengthening of these family ties also serves to help reinforce the support system the offender will have when she returns to the community, thereby helping to ensure a more successful reentry.  Offender participation in Family Ties program development helps to ensure the activities meet their needs.
