Programs For Inmates
Residents will have phase-based programming focusing on cognitive and behavioral care, education and job skills. Phase I will consist of a class structured environment. Phase II will offer expanded programming, however, the residents will be required to maintain a job inside the facility. After successfully completing Phase I & II, the residents will move on to Phase III where they will maintain a job in the community and residence at MLTC until they are granted parole or expire their sentence.
Research has shown a transitioned approach to reentry along with evidence-based programming and job skill development can greatly improve an offender's chance of successful reentry. Those who are gainfully employed following their release from prison are significantly less likely to reoffend resulting in fewer tax dollars being spent on incarceration and safer communities.
