HOPE Wing

Healing Opportunities in Program and Education

The mental health program for open population inmates and graduates of the Mental Health Unit is called the HOPE Wing. The female inmates attend a program group in the morning, Monday - Friday focusing on criminal thinking errors, anger management, improving communication skills, developing appropriate coping skills, and a variety of other topics geared toward rehabilitation.

The inmates are required to maintain a 40 hour week program consisting of morning group, gym, work, and/or education. The HOPE Wing inmates join the Mental Health Unit inmates for gym group Monday - Friday as a way to assist with their integration into the HOPE Wing program and to present as role models.
