Offenders participate in academic and vocational programs, mental health programs, and various work programs much as they do at TDOC owned and operated prisons.

Two TDOC staff members are located on-site to monitor contract compliance and provide for those functions not delegated to private entities under state law.

From the moment an inmate enters the facility, the staff will focus on preparing them for a successful release and life outside the facility. A large part of this preparation is accomplished through the reentry program offerings.

Inmates may choose to voluntarily participate in facility programs. Or, sometimes, an inmate is required to participate in a program due to a court order or state requirement.  Either way, CCA offers programs designed to help inmates prepare and grow on many levels – personally, academically and professionally. 

The classes offer opportunities to learn life skills, job skills, certificates of employability and even diplomas. When inmates earn degrees, facility staff, friends, and family members celebrate with a formal graduation ceremony. Encouragement and support are so important.

A sampling of offerings include:

• Adult basic education
• GED classes and testing
• English as a Second Language
• Addictions treatment programs and support groups
• Religious study and worship 
• Vocational classes and certifications such as masonry, electrical and carpentry
• Parenting and financial management classes

In addition, the facility has a chaplain and community volunteers who provide many religious services and programs throughout each week. Some facilities offer a residential faith-based program for inmates committed to deeper study.
