How does my incarcerated loved one know what will be expected of him/her after being sent to a state prison facility?
Once assigned to a permanent institution, the offender has access to a full range of program opportunities. A treatment plan developed by the offender’s treatment team outlines the programs deemed most appropriate to meet the offender’s needs. Program offerings can range from a fulltime therapeutic community to work programs, education/vocational programs, and medical/psychological services. An offender who refuses to participate in assigned programming becomes ineligible to earn good conduct credit. In addition to treatment programs offered, the offender has access to religious services, recreational programs, medical services, and individual counseling services. As part of the Department of Corrections’ responsibility, the offender is also provided with food, clothing, and supervision. Offenders who work in institutional jobs are paid a small wage to provide spending money. http://www.vadoc.virginia.gov/offenders/offender-mng-oview.shtm http://www.vadoc.state.va.us/offenders/prisonli
