The Clarinda Correctional Facility was established in 1980 as an adult
male medium-security prison to serve primarily chemically dependent,
mentally retarded and socially inadequate offenders. The facility is
located on the grounds of the Mental Health Institute. Numerous
programs and services are offered at the Clarinda facility. The
Special Learning Unit provides individual treatment for inmates who
are mentally retarded, mentally ill, or socially inadequate. This
unit also offers protection for persons prone to be victimized by
other inmates. Intensive substance abuse programming, licensed by
the Iowa Department of Public Health, is provided through the T.O.W.
(The Other Way) program. T.O.W. offers many group activities through
a “phase” system that uses principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. The
program involves a personal examination of the reasons for abuse,
obstacles to treatment, and special planning for release. Other
programs and services are: computerized educational instruction,
industrial arts, a series of social skills classes, special education
for eligible individuals, and minimum and medium outside work details.
