Unique Programs

Basic Living Skills

 

This program focuses on simple skills needed for daily living.  Some topics are:  Looking for Work, Decision Making, and Positive Alternatives to a previous lifestyle.

Managing Money

This program teaches financial responsibility. All participants who complete this program should be able to apply the following skills after being released into the community: budget their expenses and provide for themselves adequately for their day to day living; maintain a checking account, including the ability to write a check and keep a correct balance in their checking registry; set short term goals, and be able to determine if these are reasonable and learn to focus on what needs to be done to achieve the goals; and learn how to be prepared for unexpected expenses.

Criminal and Addictive Thinking

 

This program is designed to teach offenders a new way of thinking and point out errors in typical criminal and addictive thought patterns.  Some areas covered include decision making, learning consequences, and cause and effect.

Reading Room

The reading rooms encourage family literacy by providing a pleasant and comfortable setting for both child and incarcerated parent. Each room is stocked with a wide variety of children’s books and has an inmate narrator who reads to the visiting children twice a day. The role of the inmate narrator is to read picture books to the children in much the same manner that children’s hour would be done at a public library. A variety of arts and craft supplies for the children are also available in most of the rooms. Many of the supplies and books are donated by employees and service organizations.
