Primary Treatment Services

As part of the Department of Corrections Mission Statement to provide

opportunities for change and success, the Division of Adult Institutions provides

programming opportunities to the people in our care that will further enhance

reentry efforts and successful reintegration into the community. Criminogenic

needs identify major risk factors associated with criminal conduct. When a

COMPAS Assessment and other screening tools are completed, a risk level and a list

of needs are identified for each person. All of these are connected with recidivism

and can be targeted for change. Through the use of treatment and programming

listed below, these needs can be met to reduce a person’s risk for reoffending.

Anger Management Program (AM)

Anger Management is a program designed to address the needs of individuals

whose aggressive behaviors tend to be impulsive and reactive rather than

instrumental and pre-planned. In addition to concepts such as cognitive

restructuring, AM programs teach participants cognitive and interpersonal skills to

deter and replace violent behaviors. These skills include stress management,

impulse control strategies, assertiveness skills, communication skills, identifying

personal anger precursors (thoughts and situations that provoke angry reactions),

handling criticism and provocation. Lessons are presented by trained staff to

groups of 8 to 15 participants. Group sessions are generally 90-120 minutes in

length, held twice a week. AM is offered both as a stand-alone program and/or as

a component of other programs. AM is offered in both male and female

institutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Program (CBP)

Cognitive Behavioral Programs (such as Thinking for a Change, Dialectical Behavior

Therapy, and Moving On) often combine cognitive restructuring theory with

cognitive skills theory to help individuals in the justice system take control of their

lives by taking control of their thinking. Lessons are facilitated by a variety of

4

trained staff to groups of 8-15 participants. Group sessions are generally 90

minutes in length and are held 2-3 times a week. In order to successfully complete

the program, participants must actively participate in groups, satisfactorily

complete all practice work assignments, and demonstrate they have acquired

specific skills taught in the program. CBP is offered both as a stand-alone program

and/or as part of a component of other programs. CBP is offered in both male and

female institutions.

Domestic Violence (DV)

Domestic Violence Programs, (such as ATAM, Duluth Model, and DV-T4C) are

designed for male persons in our care who have shown a pattern of abuse/violence

to their significant and intimate partners. Curricula are designed to help

participants identify thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs that have justified violence and

enabled them to be abusive to their partners. Programs aim to teach skills to

change participant’s thoughts/beliefs that have led to their abusive behaviors. A

major program objective is for the participant to be able to identify alternative

beliefs and intervention strategies to end their abusive behaviors as well as learn

and demonstrate non-abusive and non-controlling behaviors.

Violence in Relationships is a cognitive behavioral based program for female

persons in our care that identifies the different types of domestic abuse and factors

in our society that contributes to the problem of domestic violence. This program

also covers issues including why victims stay in abusive relationships and the

impact of domestic abuse on the family.

Both DV programs are presented by trained facilitators to groups of 10-16

participants. Group sessions are approximately 90 minutes in length, and are held

one to two times per week.

Employability

Employability Programs (such as Windows to Work and Cognitive Behavioral

Interventions for Employment- Adult) are employment-based correctional

programs designed to increase employability and employment of participants.

These programs are designed for individuals who are moderate to high need in the

area of employment target several criminogenic factors and teach participants to

recognize and manage problem scenarios through the rehearsal and

implementation of prosocial responses. Employability programming relies on a

cognitive-behavioral approach to teach participants strategies for identifying and

managing high risk situations related to obtaining and maintaining employment.

Heavy emphasis is placed on skill building activities to assist with cognitive, social,

emotional, and coping skill development for the work environment. Lessons are

presented by trained staff to groups of 8 to 10 participants. Group sessions are

generally 90 minutes in length, held one, two, or three times a week. Employability

is offered both as a stand-alone program and/or as a component of other

programs.

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Program

SUD Programming addresses risky thinking and substance use that could lead to

criminal behavior. The program’s mission is to enhance safety in the community by

5

providing a continuum of substance abuse treatment services. This program

consists of core treatment and may include additional (ancillary) groups for

moderate to high risk offenders. Core treatment currently includes Cognitive-

Based Program (CBP) and SUD components. Ancillary groups may consist of other

primary treatment programs such as Anger Management, Employability, and

Domestic Violence, as well as additional cognitive-based/cognitive-informed groups

to meet dosage recommendations. SUD programs are facilitated by certified

substance abuse counselors and overseen by a clinical supervisor with groups of 8

to 15 participants. This program is offered to both male and female persons in our

care.

Dual Diagnosis

Dual Diagnosis is a program for individuals diagnosed with both a substance use

disorder and with a severe and persistent mental illness. It is offered to both male

and female persons in our care.

The male Dual Diagnosis Program is a 9 to 11-month program designed to be a

therapeutic community in which program participants work together for their

treatment. All participants are actively involved in the community to shape more

responsible and appropriate behavior. This program includes psychiatric

treatment, therapy groups, psycho-educational groups, individual counseling

sessions, pre-release planning, and post-release follow-up. Components of the

program include SUD education, mental health education and management,

psychotropic medication regimens, cognitive behavioral components, emotion

regulation, problem solving, assertiveness training, relaxation techniques, relapse

prevention and release planning.

The female Dual Diagnosis Program is a 21-week program. The core group

components of the program include multiple gender-responsive curricula that

focus on substance use, trauma, violence, and emotion regulation. Examples of the

curricula used include Helping Women Recover, Seeking Safety, Moving On, Coping

with Feelings, Beyond Violence, Connections, and Picking up the Pieces. Mental

health education, psychotropic medication regimens, bi-weekly treatment planning

sessions, and monthly individual therapy sessions are also components of the

program.

Both Dual Diagnosis Programs are facilitated by a multidisciplinary team to include

psychological services staff and social services staff who are certified substance

abuse counselors. The programs are overseen by a Clinical Supervisor.

Challenge Incarceration Program (CIP)

CIP is a statutorily established program that allows judges to sentence non-violent,

non-assaultive individuals with substance abuse needs to this full-time intensive

program that combines physical fitness and well-being with SUD treatment. The

program was designed to focus on the whole person and encourage mental,

emotional, and physical well-being for program participants. Program components

are structured around treatment, health, and well-being. Program activities

include physical fitness, work assignments designed to give back to the community,

individualized educational programming, individualized and group SUD treatment,

6

and military activities to promote self-discipline and self-efficacy. CIP is facilitated

by certified substance abuse counselors and overseen by a clinical supervisor. CIP

is offered to both male and female persons in our care. CIP for female individuals

was designed to be gender responsive in nature and provides trauma-informed

activities that respond to the unique strengths, needs, and challenges faced by

women.

Earned Release Program (ERP)

The Earned Release Program (ERP) addresses criminal thinking and substance use

disorders. Driven by statue similar to CIP, ERP allows judges to sentence non-

violent, non-assaultive individuals with substance abuse needs to this full-time,

intensive program designed to reduce the incidence of future criminal behaviors.

The program’s mission is to enhance safety in the community by providing a

continuum of substance use disorder services. At its core, ERP treatment modules

include cognitive-based substance abuse programming, cognitive behavioral-based

curriculum, such as NIC’s Thinking for a Change for the male population, or Moving

on for the female population, which address cognitive restructuring, social skill

building, and problem solving. ERP consists of both core and

ancillary/supplemental programming. Ancillary programming may consist of other

primary treatment programs such as Anger Management, Employability, and

Domestic Violence, as well as additional cognitive-based/cognitive-informed groups

to meet dosage recommendations. All participants entering ERP are assigned core

programming that address their criminogenic needs, identified by the COMPAS

assessment tool. Community reintegration is a primary focus throughout the

program connecting persons in our care with the respective Probation and Parole

agents during each program phase. ERP is facilitated by certified substance abuse

counselors and overseen by a clinical supervisor. ERP is offered to both male and

female persons in our care.

Sex Offender Treatment, Low Risk (SOT-1)

SOT-1 is a short-term treatment program designed for persons in our care assessed

to be a low risk to sexually reoffend. It consists of 9-12 sessions for a total of at

least 18 hours of treatment. The treatment covers topics such as recognizing

emotions, writing a thinking report, cognitive errors and distortions, healthy

relationships, managing dynamic risk factors, consent, healthy sexuality, safe sex,

and coping with community supervision. Both written homework assignments and

group participation are expected. SOT-1 is facilitated by trained, mental health

staff. Successful group completion involves completing homework assignments,

participating in group discussions, and recognizing risk factors.

Sex Offender Treatment, Child Pornography Only (SOT-CPO)

SOT-CPO consists of 60-80 hours of treatment and is designed for persons in our

care whose use of child sexual exploitation materials (CSEM) results in convictions

for possession of child pornography in the absence of other contact sexual offenses

as identified in the assessment process. The group typically lasts for 5-6 months

and meets once a week. This group treatment focuses on recognizing risk factors

and implementing strategies and behaviors to minimize future risk to sexually

reoffend. Completion of all required tasks related to a participant’s risk factors and

development of an offense prevention plan that addresses those factors is

7

required. The group is facilitated by trained mental health staff and treats up to 12

participants. SOT-CPO is currently offered to male persons in our care.

Sex Offender Treatment, Short-Term Institutional (SOT-2)

SOT-2 consists of 80-100 hours of treatment and is designed for persons in our care

assessed to have an average risk to sexually reoffend. The group typically lasts for

6-12 months and meets once or twice a week. This group treatment focuses on

recognizing risk factors and implementing strategies and behaviors to minimize

future risk to sexually reoffend. Completion of all required tasks related to a

participant’s risk factors and development of an offense prevention plan that

addresses those factors is required. The group is facilitated by trained mental

health staff and treats up to 12 participants. SOT-2 is offered to both male and

female persons in our care.

• SOT-2 Adaptive: This group is a modification of SOT-2 for participants

who have cognitive or adaptive deficits or who have a serious mental

illness that would make it difficult for them to complete a standard

SOT-2 group.

• SOT-2 LEP: This adaptation of the SOT-2 treatment is for adult males

whose primary language is Spanish or another language and whose

English language proficiency is such that it would interfere with

completion of an English language group, as identified at the time of

evaluation. The group will be conducted in the primary language or

facilitated through the use of interpreters.

Sex Offender Treatment, Long-Term Intensive Residential (SOT-4)

SOT-4 consists of 400 hours of treatment and is designed for persons in our care

assessed to have an above average risk to sexually reoffend. The group typically

lasts for two years of longer. The program is currently offered at the Oshkosh

Correctional Institution (SOTP) and the Racine Correctional Institution (Beacon).

Treatment focuses on recognizing risk factors and implementing strategies and

behaviors to minimize future risk to sexually reoffend. Participants are expected to

complete all tasks associated with managing or reducing their risk factors and

develop a re-offense prevention plan.

• SOT-4 Long-Term Intensive Residential Adaptive: This group is a

modification of SOT-4 for participants who have cognitive or adaptive

deficits or who have a serious mental illness that would make it difficult

for them to complete a standard SOT-4 group.

• SOT-4 Long-Term Intensive Residential LEP: This adaptation of the

SOT-4 treatment is for adult males whose primary language is Spanish

or another language and whose English language proficiency is such

that it would interfere with completion of an English language group, as

identified at the time of evaluation. The group will be conducted in the

primary language or facilitated through the use of interpreters.

Sex Offender Treatment, Aftercare (Aftercare-Institution)

SOT maintenance is an institution-based group designed to help participants

maintain skills developed in other sex offender programming or other treatment

contexts. Guided by their relapse prevention plan, participants practice applying

skills they have learned to real life situations.

Educational Services

The Department of Corrections provides persons in our care the opportunities to

improve reading, writing, and mathematics skills, learn Career Technical Education

skills, life skills, career awareness skills, and obtain a high school equivalency

diploma. Post-secondary Career Technical Education programming is offered in

conjunction with the Wisconsin Technical College System. Distance learning

through correspondence or controlled online classes from several universities and

technical colleges are also offered.

Adult Basic Education (ABE)

Most DAI institutions offer Adult Basic Education Instruction. These studies

generally include reading, writing, math, and life skills. The type of instruction in

these areas will vary depending on the individual teacher and site. Instruction may

include, among other methods, individualized instruction, computer-assisted

instruction, peer or community tutor assistance, small group instruction, and

regular class instruction.

High School Equivalency Diploma Preparation

Most DAI institutions also offer instruction to prepare persons in our care for the

High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED). Generally, individuals who are interested

with NRS Levels of 3 and above in Reading Comprehension or Math Number

Operations on the TABE test are enrolled in HSED preparation.

Instruction is provided in each of the areas which comprise the HSED:

Citizenship/Civics, Employability Skills, Health, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies,

and Reasoning Through Language Arts.

High School Equivalency Diploma Testing

HSED testing assesses for Employability Skills, such as skills in job seeking, applying

for work, retaining a job, and self-development and awareness skills. Required

training in this area may be waived based on employment experience. Additional

completion of computer-based GED tests in Mathematics, Science, Social Studies,

Civics, and Reasoning Through Language Arts is also a component of HSED testing.

Successful completion is defined as a minimum score of 145 on each test, with a

minimum total score of 580 on all four tests combined. Tests can be retaken after

evidence is presented that additional preparation has been made.

Upon completion, students receive a Wisconsin High School Equivalency Diploma

issued by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

Upon completion of Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Reasoning Through

Language Arts, Health, and Citizenship/Civics, students will be awarded a General

Education Diploma (GED).

9

5.09/Competency-Based Education (CBE)

The 5.09/CBE Program is designed in coordination with DPI Standards specifically

for persons in our care who demonstrate sound, strong learning credentials but

cannot translate or apply those skills on standardized GED testing formats.

Students must have at least a NRS level 4 or show significant growth in Reading and

Math TABE scores before earning this diploma.

Career Technical Education (CTE) Programs and Courses

Career Technical Education and training is available at most facilities that have on-

site education services. All Career Technical Education classes that are offered are

affiliated with and accredited by the Wisconsin Technical College System. Some are

short-term classes that provide basic skills in a variety of occupations. Students

completing these accredited programs receive certificates, Career Technical

Education diplomas, or credit toward a 2-year associate degree. Students involved

in CTE programs are enrolled in college classes that are equivalent to classes

offered outside the DOC. Teachers are accredited in the same way as College

Instructors. Career Technical Education training is provided in approximately 20

different occupational areas with changes frequently based on instructor

availability and space. It is possible in many cases to start a Career Technical

Education program at one institution and continue or complete it at another

institution. Students are encouraged to concentrate in one occupational area to

attain work-related job skills that may be used while incarcerated and after release.

Career Technical Education (CTE) Related Course Work

All Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) certified programs require some

related course work. Requirements vary depending on the program. Related

course work can include communications, human/job relations, math, occupational

success and strategies, student success and small business development.

These courses are different from general education courses. They are designed

specifically to accompany Career Technical Education courses and credit is awarded

for successful completion.

Non-credit Career Technical Education related classes are also offered at some sites

as well as refresher courses to prepare for CTE programs.

Career Technical Education (CTE) Academies

In collaboration with the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS), persons in

our care are provided with accelerated, academy-style CTE training opportunities

for both men and women in several DAI facilities. New program opportunities vary

and are based on local job markets, area technical college program offerings, and

available resources at the DAI center or institution. Academies have included

program areas in Construction Fundamentals, Industrial Maintenance, Gas Metal

Arc Welding, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Operator, and Mechanical

Maintenance. Persons in our Care that are interested can contact their social

worker or designated staff to see if they meet the eligibility criteria for participation

in the program.

College Programs

10

Correspondence courses for college credit are offered through several University of

Wisconsin campuses. Persons in our Care are responsible for tuition costs and

costs for books.

Higher Ed in Prison Programs (HEP)

In partnership with several Wisconsin Technical Colleges, Universities, and private

colleges, the DOC offers credit bearing courses at the Bachelor’s and Associates

levels. The programs are offered under the terms of agreements with the

Department to provide Associates Degrees, Technical Diploma’s and BA level

courses. These are generally funded via grants to the individual (Pell, GI Bill, WI

Higher Ed grants, etc.), grants to the college, or via philanthropic funding to the

college partners. In partnership with participating Wisconsin Universities and

Technical Colleges, the Second Chance Pell Program is offered at DAI institutions

and centers based on the site’s available resources.

TABE Testing

The TABE (Test of Adult Basic Education) is an achievement test that measures

academic skill levels. All persons in our care enrolled in school at maximum and

medium security institutions, either Career Technical Education or academic, are

required to retest with the TABE Full Battery. The TABE will identify strengths and

weaknesses and can be used to produce an education plan for each individual.

TABE testing is considered a required condition of school participation. TABE results

are an important part of the placement process for educational services. It is

imperative that individuals give their personal best effort on the TABE examination

so that they may be placed in the appropriate levels of education to meet their

needs to find success. TABE results are reported in units called NRS. NRS stands

for National Readiness Score from Level 1 through Level 6. The scales outlined

include the following:

NRS 1

Beginning ABE literacy

NRS 2

Beginning Basic Education

NRS 3

Low/Intermediate Basic Education

NRS 4

High/Intermediate Basic Education (RLA)/Middle Intermediate Basic

Education (MA)

NRS 5

Low Adult Secondary (RLA)/High Intermediate Basic Education (MA)

NRS 6

High Adult Secondary (RLA)/Adult Secondary Education (MA)

Title 1

Title 1 is a program for students age 21 and under who are working in an Adult

Basic Education class and need extra assistance in their studies. This program

serves as a supplement, or addition, to the normal school program.

Special Education (SPED)

This program is designed for students, age 21 and under, who have a disability that

interferes with their education. Adaptations to the regular classroom instruction,

resource room opportunities, or placement in a special class for one or more hours

per day, are ways this program assists with the qualified students in achieving high

school grades.

11

English as a Second Language (ESL)

Many of our institutions offer varying types of opportunities for non-English

speaking persons in our care to improve their English comprehension, reading, and

writing skills.

Wisconsin Institutions Literacy Council

This project offers tutoring to persons in our care in subject areas where they need

assistance. Peer tutors (qualified applicants) are trained in PLATT basic literacy

tutoring techniques to assist students become independent readers, writers, and

speakers in English. Peer tutors are hired to a paid position within the institution.

Library Services

Each DOC institution has a library whose services include a general collection, and a

legal collection. Some institutions offer interlibrary loan services.

General Collection

The general collection includes fiction and non-fiction books, reference materials,

newspapers, magazines, and audio-visual materials. Some Spanish language and

large print materials are also available.

Interlibrary Loan Service

For those institutions that offer this service, persons in our care may use the

interlibrary loan system to obtain materials that are not part of the institution’s

library collection. Interlibrary loan requests are screened to determine if the

materials are in compliance with the institution’s policies.

Legal Collection

Each library provides a legal collection in accordance with Administrative Code DOC

309.27. Included in the legal collection are state and federal reports and United

States Code annotated.

Library staff will assist persons in our care unfamiliar with legal materials. Law

library clerks also provide assistance in some institutions. Law library services are

extended to persons in our care in restrictive housing status. DOC staff and library

clerks are neither able to, nor allowed to provide legal advice. Persons in our care

may correspond with private attorneys on legal matters. Photocopy and notary

services are provided by the librarian or by other designated staff within each

institution.

Religious Accommodations

12

Each facility provides persons in our care religious accommodation through

available congregate programming and individual practice opportunities. Larger

institutions have a Chaplain on staff that coordinates religious activities to address

the spiritual needs of a diverse population. Smaller correctional centers have a

designated staff member responsible for these duties.

Congregate programming may be available for Umbrella Religion Groups (URGs):

Buddhist/Other Asian, Catholic, Humanist/Atheist/Agnostic, Islam, Judaism, Native

American/American Indian, Pagan, and Protestant/Other Christian. Individuals

wishing to participate in congregate worship services or study groups identify

which URG will most closely match their spiritual beliefs and practices by

completing a DOC-1090, Religious Preference form. Types of URG programming

may vary between facilities due to differences in population and available

resources. DOC facilities depend upon community volunteers and donated

materials to conduct the breadth of URG programming.

Individuals may supplement and complement available URG programming with

religious practices carried out independently, such as personal observances and

study, meditation, prayer, use of religious publications and personal property

items, work proscription, written correspondence with fellow believers, and dietary

accommodations. Pastoral visits may be arranged upon request to offer individual

spiritual care. Many facilities have a chapel library or other resources available for

use.

Refer to DAI policies for further information:

• 309.61.01 – Religious Beliefs and Practices

• 309.61.02 – Religious Property

• 309.61.03 – Religious Diets

• 309.06.03 – Volunteers, Pastoral Visitors, Program Guests, and Interns

Bureau of Correctional Enterprises

The purpose of the Bureau of Correctional Enterprises (BCE) is to enhance public

safety by providing jobs and training to persons in our care to develop marketable

skills and experiences in financially viable businesses while producing quality

products and services for BCE customers. The four components to BCE are

agriculture, industries, logistics and transition.

BCE agriculture operations exist at two farms and a dairy. BCE’s 11 industries and

its Product Development Center operate within 10 correctional institutions. BCE’s

logistics operations include two warehouses and a fleet of trucks. BCE’s Transition

Program is based in the bureau’s central office in Madison and works state-wide to

provide services to BCE workers who choose to participate. Bureau employees

train and guide a workday average of 380 persons in our care to work in

agriculture, industries, and logistics operations. BCE contributes to meeting the

department’s mission by providing opportunities for persons in our care to work,

learn and earn. These are opportunities workers may use to better prepare

13

themselves to succeed in department facilities and when they return to their

families and communities.

BCE workers contribute to institution safety. Participants must not have had any

major rule violations for 12 months before they can apply for a BCE job and they

must remain free of major violations to keep a BCE job. Those requirements, along

with the time and energy workers spend on the job, reduce the number and

likelihood of dangerous behaviors by BCE workers.

BCE workers invest in learning. Participants must have earned a high school

diploma or GED/HSED before they will be hired for a BCE job. Workers learn

general work skills like getting to work each day, getting through the work day in

spite of challenges with equipment and people, and being productive by getting

work done. Workers learn technical work skills, including but not limited to: fork

lift operations; wood fabrication; commercial sewing; computer-aided drafting and

design of custom signs and furniture; inventory management; and commercial

printing. Learning persons in our care are strong job applicants capable of quickly

becoming valuable employees, Wisconsin employers want to hire and keep them

on their teams. BCE work environments mirror, as closely as possible, those in the

private sector. Production techniques, costing, and quality control are part of the

training and work experiences workers receive during their employment with BCE.

The Bureau often works in partnership with institutional vocational training

programs to enhance work skills development for persons in our care and partners

with the Department of Workforce Development to provide certified

apprenticeship training programs.

BCE workers earn money used to pay financial obligations and build financial

stability. Workers’ earnings are used to make court ordered payments of

restitution to victims of their crimes and child support to their dependent children.

Earnings are also deposited into the worker’s release account so s/he has funds

upon release. Those funds add stability and reduce the likelihood of future criminal

behavior.

BCE’s Transition Program employees assist current and former workers, if they

chose to participate in the program, as their release dates approach. Workers

receive help preparing a resume and information to help them prepare for job

interviews. Program employees search for and supply leads on vacant jobs that are

near the worker’s approved release address and relate as closely as possible to

his/her educational and work experiences. The Program may also fund the

purchase of specific tools and/or clothes needed to accept a job a worker has been

offered. The Transition Program is the culmination of the person’s BCE

experiences. A 2022 analysis by the Department’s Research and Policy Unit

indicates former BCE workers have a 90% employment rate and a 75% success rate

not returning to DOC custody in the Department’s three-year follow-up period.

Reentry Services

Institutions/Centers, irrespective of custody level, facilitate release planning for all

persons in our care starting approximately 6-9 months prior to release. At this

time, individuals who will have served at least one year in prison by the time of

release and will be releasing to Wisconsin supervision, will complete a COMPAS

Reentry Assessment with their social worker/treatment specialist. Around this

same time, all individuals releasing to supervision will be provided a Release Plan

Information Form (DOC-0745) to complete which will provide information

regarding their residence plans, employment plans, and education/treatment plans

upon release. This document will also allow the individual to share information

regarding financial and health concerns, transportation and clothing needs, and

whether assistance obtaining vital documents is needed. Using the DOC-0745, the

social worker/treatment specialist works with the individual on making referrals to

appropriate outside agencies regarding health care needs (i.e. Social Security

Benefits, health insurance), helping to secure transportation and clothing needs,

and obtaining appropriate vital documents. The DOC 745 is shared with the

individual’s probation and parole agent allowing both DAI and the Division of

Community Corrections to work collaboratively with the individual on a successful

reentry plan. Several phone calls occur between the individual and his/her agent,

with assistance from the social worker/treatment specialist. This allows the person

in our care an opportunity to ask questions about his/her supervision, discuss

concerns regarding their release plans, review rules with their agent, and receive

updates from their agent regarding residence approval and programming

recommendations. Other documents that may be signed during the release

planning process include: Rules of Supervision, Voter Ineligibility Notice and

Acknowledgement, and Authorization for Disclosure of Non-Health and/or

Protected Health Information.

Individuals Maximum Discharging from their sentence, with no remaining

supervision, are not required to complete a COMPAS Reentry Assessment or a

DOC-0745. However, they will work with their social worker/treatment specialist

on obtaining housing resources (if needed), having referrals made to appropriate

outside agencies regarding health care needs (i.e. Social Security Benefits, health

insurance), helping to secure transportation and clothing needs, and obtaining

appropriate vital documents.

Opening Avenues to Reentry Success (OARS)

Opening Avenues to Reentry Success (OARS) supports the prison-to-community

transition of individuals living with a serious and persistent mental illness who are

medium-to-high-risk of reoffending. The program is a collaborative effort of the

Department of Corrections and the Department of Health Services.

OARS uses a team approach to provide participants the stability and skills necessary

to live successfully in the community. This includes connecting the participant with

locally-based supports for health care, housing, education, employment, and

15

transportation. Each participant's support is different depending on their individual

needs.

Participants graduate from the program when they demonstrate the ability to

maintain their mental health and basic needs without the assistance of their

program team. Depending on their needs, participants may receive services for six

months up to two years in the community.

Reentry Legal Services (RLS)

Reentry Legal Services (RLS) is provides civil legal services to disabled and mentally

ill individuals. Eligible individuals at participating facilities can retain a public

benefits attorney or paralegal who will assist with public benefits applications

including Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security Disability Insurance

(SSDI), and Medicaid. RLS staff will follow an individual’s case into the community

after release from prison and will continue to advocate for benefits until appeals

are exhausted or benefits are achieved.

Pre-Release Curriculum Modules

All facilities, irrespective of custody level, make the Pre-Release Curriculum

available to persons in our care in a library or reentry resource room.

Comprehensive and effective release planning will contribute to a successful

transition into the community. Areas of focus include but are not limited to topics
