Mission
The Specialized Treatment Unit’s mission is to provide
interdisciplinary treatment to address a combination of trauma symptoms
and maladaptive personality features with the goal of increasing
participants’ skills and improving their interpersonal functioning prior
to returning to Taycheedah Correctional Institution (TCI) and subsequently
the community.
Unit Description
The unit houses an intensive treatment program for 10 women utilizing a
modified therapeutic community. The program lasts 25 weeks and the 10
participants begin and complete the program at the same time. Upon their
return to TCI, a new group will arrive to begin a new 25 weeks of
programming. Staff and program participants will emphasize core values of
safety, choice, collaboration, and empowerment in the unit structure,
programming, and their interactions. All cells will be single-occupancy
and have sinks and toilets.
