Unique Programs

• ACT is a program that helps the offender to evaluate and recognize behavioral flaws that lead to their criminal behavior.  During the program, the offender is encouraged to take responsibility and develop empathy on the affects of the incarceration on their family members.  This program gives the offender the opportunity to repair damaged relationships and to increase family ties.  During the program the offender and the family member will work on an acceptable plan that will help the offender transition from prison to the family unit. 
• Associate Aide Program was developed to assist individuals on the mental health caseload with memory or some other form of cognitive deficit that impairs an offender's ability to function within the facility.  The Aides are responsible for providing reminders to help with the impaired offender's adjustment.  Because of Hocking Correctional Facility's unique mission of managing the aging offender, the Associate Aide Program has become an integral part of delivering a continuum o appropriate care.  The offenders assigned to serve in an Aide capacity will receive a vigorous review to ensure that they are not predatory and that they will within the guidelines of the program.
