Class D Inmate Work Program - Allows classified, minimum security inmates to perform work inside the jail and community service for non-profit organizations.

Substance Abuse Program (SAP) - Allows inmates with a common goal, permanent sobriety, to live together and be isolated from negative influences while learning how to deal with their substance abuse issues and how to reintegrate into society.

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) - (https://www.moral-reconation-therapy.com/) A cognitive program designed to alter how offenders think and how to make decisions about right and wrong.

MRT Mentor - The mentoring program strives to ensure a higher success rate for those who have previously completed MRT. A mentor within the program will be held to a higher behavioral expectation than those participating in the MRT group. Mentorship is beneficial for both the offender serving as the mentor, as well as for the offenders participating in the program. As a mentor, the offender is expected to revisit steps 1-4 from the original "How to Escape Your Prison" workbook, along with completion of the "Character Development" workbook..
