Unique Programs

• The Renaissance Program is a residential treatment program for inmates with alcohol and other drug addictions.  It represents the flagship of the various programs offered by LoCI’s Recovery Services Department.  The program emphasizes honesty, ethical living, and responsibility as part of a new life abstinent from alcohol and other drugs.  Armed with strategies to face the challenges of reentry and their post-release live, Renaissance graduates exit prison far better prepared to become useful citizens and heads-of-households.
• The New Beginnings Unit is currently housed in the Birch Unit.  The New Beginnings is a Community Service, Restorative Justice, Interfaith program.  Inmates will have the opportunity to give back to society by providing community service and participating in programming that will assist with gaining a better understanding of the impact their crimes had on their victims and to help inmates restore relationships. This program also gives inmate the opportunity to enhance their spirituality by living in an interfaith community.  Inmates will be able to develop a sense of awareness for other faiths and religions and gain a more sensitive point of understanding for their own faith.  Inmates will also be able to gain experience, skills and credentials for employment in the community upon their release from LoCI by participating in PUPP (Pets Uniting People Apprenticeship Program.)
