Oakwood Correctional Facility

OAKWOOD CORRECTIONAL FACILITY

The mission of Oakwood Correctional Facility is to provide a safe, secure, therapeutic environment, through the provision of comprehensive psychiatric treatment, healthcare services, quality rehabilitative services, and re-entry programming.   Within the confines of Oakwood Correctional Facility, the Apple Glen Unit will provide specialized Residential Treatment Unit care through quality medical and mental health services to effectively manage the unique medical needs of this ODRC inmate population.

• Release Preparation Programming: Programming delivered to better prepare an inmate for his/her return to the community and future employment. Such programming includes the following areas: employment readiness, community resources, recovery services and faith-based resources workshops, assistance in obtaining documents needed by offenders returning to society, and job linkage assistance.
• Transitional Education Program (TEP): The Ohio Central School System, in an effort to provide transitional services to portions of the offender population, has initiated this program. This program provides instruction on employment readiness issued through computer instruction. TEP is a comprehensive collaboration that enables adult offenders, who will be released from the facility, to successfully return to their communities and families. The TEP model focuses on the use of technology to educate offenders in pro-social skills and transition into the community. DRC, in collaboration with Community Connection for Ohio Offenders, Inc., incorporates the use of videos, individualized CD-based instruction, and web-based research designed to provide transitional and life skills curricula coupled with post-release case management services and evaluation.
• Anger Management: Anger Control is an eight session group that explores consequences of anger and aggressive behavior. The program looks at the functions of anger, beliefs, causes of anger and aggression, the importance of thought in anger control, common thinking errors, the physiological response and high risk situations. The inmate is educated on positive conflict resolution and coping techniques.
