BETTER PROGRAMS

Programming is available in the existing facility but has been limited by the lack of space and overcrowding issues. Inmate attendance is sporadic due to ongoing need to transfer inmates to other counties. With the new facility, programming is centered around addiction, recovery, and life skills and will be offered to assist inmates in the preparation for release back into the community. The following services and programs will be provided/facilitated:
