At the Gallatin County Re-Entry Program (GCRP), inmates with good behavior have access to traditional jobs in the public sector during the day. The program offers varying degrees of freedom, some even allowing prisoners to work during the week and return home, serving their sentences on only weekends. Depending on the terms (which change from time to time), inmates may reside in a halfway house or under home confinement when not working. As they near their release date, residents may transition to reintegration programs, with potential offers of full-time employment upon full release.

Work release program initiatives have proven benefits, including increased employment opportunities post-release, accelerated job acquisition, higher post-release earnings, and reduced recidivism rates among participants. Gallatin Co Re-Entry is committed to empowering inmates with skills and opportunities for successful reentry into society.

The Gallatin County Work-Release and Re-Entry Program (GCRP) is a 48-bed facility in the same complex as the Gallatin County Detention Center and the Gallatin County Clerk of District Court overseen by Jay Grant, the Director of Community Correctional Programs. Located on county-owned property, the facility was designed, financed, and constructed by Community, Counseling, and Correctional Services, Inc. (CCCS), with ownership scheduled to transfer to Gallatin County after ten years. Since its opening in December 2005, GCRP has served as a multi-use facility offering pre-release, work-release, drug court sanctions, detention, and re-entry services designed to accommodate male offenders from the Montana Department of Corrections and Gallatin County male offenders.

Mission and Objectives

The GCRP is committed to public safety by providing structured programming to facilitate an inmate’s transition from incarceration to the community. The program is designed to:

  • Maintain a secure facility with strict security protocols, ensuring the safety of staff, visitors, and the public.
  • Provide individualized correctional planning, including case management and continuous assessment.
  • Deliver cognitive-behavioral programming, such as Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) and Cognitive Principles and Restructuring (COG).
  • Offer substance abuse support, including Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and aftercare treatment.
  • Develop life skills in areas such as financial management, budgeting, and employment readiness.
  • Provide anger management programs and faith-based opportunities for personal growth.
  • Encourage family involvement through structured weekly visitation and reintegration programs.

Eligibility and Restrictions

The Gallatin County Work-Release and Re-Entry Program serves male offenders who are:

  • Inmates at Montana State Prison (MSP), a regional prison, or jail, within two years of parole eligibility or release.
  • Individuals committed to the Montana DOC who meet community placement criteria.

However, the program does not accept:

  • Sex offenders or individuals convicted of sex-related crimes.
  • Offenders with a violent history (evaluated on a case-by-case basis).
  • Individuals with severe medical or mental health issues that would prevent full participation in required programming.

Screening for acceptance into the program considers offense history, past community placements, institutional behavior, motivation for change, and medical or psychological limitations.

Security and Accountability Measures

Public safety is the top priority of the GCRP. The program enforces strict security measures, including:

  • 24/7 supervision by Resident Assistants, maintaining a 1:5 security staff-to-resident ratio.
  • Hourly counts, physical checks, and urinalysis screenings to ensure compliance with program rules.
  • Controlled movement within the facility, with staff monitoring all accessible areas.
  • Random security checks and searches to detect contraband and prevent unauthorized activities.
  • Strict schedule adherence for residents leaving the facility for work, education, or approved activities, with disciplinary action for schedule deviations.

Residents violating program rules, failing drug/alcohol tests, or leaving the facility without authorization face disciplinary actions, including felony escape charges.

A Community-Based Alternative to Incarceration

The Gallatin County Work-Release and Re-Entry Program provides an alternative to incarceration for offenders who do not pose a significant threat to public safety and who benefit from structured correctional programming. The program aims to:

  • Assist in an inmate’s transition from prison to community life through supervised re-entry services.
  • Reduce prison overcrowding by offering alternatives for offenders suited for community placement.
  • Enhance probation options for offenders requiring greater structure and monitoring.
  • Establish partnerships with human service and correctional agencies to ensure a continuum of care and supervision.

By balancing accountability, rehabilitation, and community integration, GCRP helps eligible offenders rebuild their lives while upholding public safety.

A County Work Release is a detention facility that primarily houses inmates serving short-term sentences, often for misdemeanor offenses. Unlike traditional jails, workhouses emphasize labor programs, rehabilitation, and reintegration opportunities, allowing inmates to contribute to the community while serving their sentence. These facilities may offer work release programs, vocational training, and educational services to reduce recidivism and prepare inmates for life after incarceration.
