Reading Room

In 2000, former First Lady Hope Taft approached the Director about establishing a reading room for the children who visited their incarcerated parent at the Pickaway Correctional Institution. This idea spread across the state, and now the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction maintains children’s reading rooms in each of the 32 institutions. The reading rooms encourage family literacy by providing a pleasant and comfortable setting for both child and incarcerated parent. Each room is stocked with a wide variety of children’s books and has an inmate narrator who reads to the visiting children twice a day. The role of the inmate narrator is to read picture books to the children in much the same manner that children’s hour would be done at a public library. A variety of arts and craft supplies for the children are also available in most of the rooms. Many of the supplies and books are donated by employees and service organizations. This past year the Department served over 45,000 children. The inmate narrators worked over 32,000 hours in reading to and with the children.

Assistance Dogs: Puppies are received by the Assistance Dogs of America, Inc. and trained to become assistance dogs for people with disabilities.
Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities (TASC): This 15-month program is designed to help the family unit stay intact throughout the period of incarceration so that when the inmate is released, the bond with the family and the child has been maintained. Only those inmates with children are eligible to participate and the offender must be released from prison to Lucas county. The program begins with when the offender has six months of his sentence left to serve and will continue nine months after his release. The offenders will be mentored while in prison and their families will be brought in to take part in mutual programming. Families will receive help in such areas as education, job skills and substance abuse treatment. Children will participate in youth-oriented programs.
Keep In Focus: A reentry program designed to assist Lucas County offenders in their transition back into the community. Agencies such as Family Council, APA, FOCUS, Legal Aid of NOW, TASC, ToCI, Urbane Knights, United Way, EOPA, University of Toledo and Fresh Attitudes work together to develop ways of assisting offenders to be successful upon release. EOPA meets with offenders who have been accepted into the program prior to their release and provides an orientation to explain what services they can receive or what type of assistance is available to them. Appointments are set up for the offender before his release date for such services as employment, family matters, housing, drug treatment, job training, legal services, mental health and other necessary social services.

Unique Programs

Adult Basic Education (ABLE) is funded with Adult Basic Education funds through the Ohio Central School System. ABLE Roofing is a ten to twelve week program that targets offenders with reading scores below 6.1. The program offers training on the use of roofing tools, identification of roofing materials, figuring the amount of materials needed, and roofing installation. This program offers readiness skills to offenders to become successfully employed roofing helpers upon release.
The New Life program is a modified 120 bed therapeutic community for offenders with identified alcohol and other drug (AOD) problems. New Life helps offenders develop the skills they need to maintain an AOD and crime-free lifestyle. Offenders participate in a 24-hour learning experience in which individual improvement in behavior, attitude, and emotions are monitored and mutually reinforced by staff and fellow program participants during the daily regimen. Within the limits imposed by a prison setting, the offenders, under staff supervision, run the operation of the community. This is accomplished by assigning various "crews" that are arranged in a hierarchy according to seniority, individual progress, and productivity. This social organization is fundamental to the rehabilitative approach of mutual self-help, work as education and therapy, peers as good role models, and staff as rational authorities.

The Therapeutic Community (TC)/ Intensive Prison Program (IPP) are long-term (6-12 months) residential Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) treatment programs. The TC approach views AOD abuse as a reflection of chronic deficits in social, vocational, familial, economic, and personality development. The aim of the Therapeutic Community is to promote prosocial behavior, attitudes, and values as a method to attain abstinence from alcohol and other drugs and eliminate antisocial behaviors. The TC’s at PCI and at the Ohio Reformatory for Women are collaborative efforts between the Ohio DRC and the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services.
Cam to Believe: This is a 12-week program that is available to inmates meeting the qualification for entry into each service component.

Unique Programs

The Therapeutic Community (TC) are long-term (6-12 months) residential Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) treatment programs. The TC approach views AOD abuse as a reflection of chronic deficits in social, vocational, familial, economic, and personality development. The aim of the Therapeutic Community is to promote pro-social behavior, attitudes, and values as a method to attain abstinence from alcohol and other drugs and eliminate antisocial behaviors. The TC’s at ORW and Pickaway are collaborative efforts between the Ohio DR&C and the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services.
Mom and Kids Day: During the month of December and for Mother's Day, incarcerated mothers, children, and other family members are permitted to spend the entire day together to celebrate the holiday. A variety of games, conversation, food and entertainment provide the families with an atmosphere of love, closeness, and sharing. This special visitation program promotes family reunification.
Camp Adventure: This one day "Day Camp" offers inmates and their children ages 4 to 11 an entire day to spend together learning about Ohio Wildlife and natural resources through animal interaction and classroom projects. Other activities include various arts and crafts projects pictures with mom.
Achieving Baby Care Success: Child development experts have determined that infants must bond with their mother in the first few months of life or their emotional and intellectual functioning is impaired. In June 2001, ORW opened Ohio's only nursery program within an institution. The Achieving Baby Care Success (ABC'S) Program allows incarcerated pregnant inmates to maintain custody of their infants after they are born. Each participant has an individualized treatment plan so that the problems that resulted in her incarceration are thoroughly addressed. Hands-on parenting instruction is available for every mother in the program. Eligible mothers for the program are screened and must be serving a short-term sentence for a non-violent crime. The criteria for the program ensures that the mothers and infants leave the institution together. There are currently 14 babies in the nursery.

Unique Programs

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.
