Pound Puppy Program: The Pound Puppy program trains 7 to 8 dogs each cycle, which lasts 7 weeks. The dogs are taught 5 basic commands and 2 certified instructor volunteers are utilized from the Richland County Dog Kennel Club. The program works in conjunction with Kind Hands 4 Paws (Zanesville), Logan County Shelter (Bellevue), and Mid Ohio Animal Welfare League.
Family Life Center: The Family Life Center seeks to provide offenders with a variety of programming needs to help build the bridge between incarcerated fathers and their children. Program opportunities that assist in that mission include Responsible Family Life Skills, Success After Prison, From the Inside Out, Victim Awareness, Financial Management and Reclaiming American Citizenship.
PROVE: The Personal Responsibility of Violence Elimination program focuses on offenders whose crimes include domestic violence behavior. The 13-week program aims at increasing awareness of the offenders' behavior while providing avenues to change.
90 Day Intensive Outpatient Program: This program is provided by Recovery Services staff and functions to instill knowledge into offenders regarding the disease of chemical dependency and its' effect on the various areas of the offenders' life. This is approached in a holistic manner rather than strictly discussing substance abuse, and offenders receive 9 hours of group work for 12 weeks.
