At VA DOC - Cold Springs Work Center #42's state corrections facility, well-behaved inmates can join a work release program, getting regular jobs in the public sector during the day. Depending on the rules, they might work weekdays and go home at night, serving their sentences only on weekends. Some stay in halfway houses or at home when they're not working. As they get closer to getting out, they might switch to reintegration programs and could even get full-time jobs when they are released.
This program has perks like better chances of finding a job after getting out, finding work faster, making more money afterward, and being less likely to go back to jail. Cold Springs Work Center #42 wants to help inmates succeed in getting back into society.
In the Virginia state prison system, various programs and services are provided to support over 30,000 state prisoners, aiming to occupy idle inmate time constructively and reduce unrest. These programs offer opportunities for positive growth to inmates seeking to change criminal behaviors.
Programs are strategically aligned within the Department based on inmates' sentence lengths and behavioral issues. Maximum or close custody prisons focus on promoting positive prison adjustment, while medium or minimum custody facilities emphasize reducing recidivism.
Upon entry into the prison system, inmates undergo assessments to identify their security and treatment needs. A Treatment Plan is then developed by the inmate's counselor, outlining necessary programs. Progress towards Treatment Plan goals is evaluated annually, with updates as required.
Core programs include Inmate Work Activities, Substance Abuse Treatment, Mental Health Services (at major institutions), and Life Skills Programming. Substance abuse treatment is particularly emphasized, with intensive programs like Therapeutic Community (TC) programs operating in six prisons statewide.
Indian Creek Correctional Center boasts the largest secure TC program in the nation and has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice as a model program. Research indicates that TC programs significantly reduce recidivism rates, especially when paired with community follow-up services.
In addition to TC programs, education initiatives provide information on substance abuse consequences. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous programs, facilitated by community volunteers, offer further support, alongside weekly counseling or substance abuse recovery groups.
The Life Skills program, offered in the year leading up to an inmate's release, covers essential topics such as employment, housing, budgeting, and family responsibilities. It aims to equip inmates with practical knowledge for successful community reintegration.
Furthermore, each prison facility offers specialized programs to address diverse inmate needs, including behavior management, women offender, anger management, geriatric, and victim support programs. These initiatives contribute to the holistic rehabilitation and reentry of inmates into society.
