Unit Program Summary
Unit A1 is part of the Maximum Custody Service Area which works
to improve the physical, mental, social and emotional health of
individuals, and promote consistency of care by providing a safe
environment similar to a Maximum security facility, in an effort to
enhance their long term well-being. The Maximum Custody Service Area consists of
H16, H17, H18, and A1.
A structured level system assists in managing a highly diverse
population. The team employs both cognitive and behavioral treatments
while working with the offenders. The unit program provides support and
encouragement through groups, individual counseling, unit activities, and
structure. Offenders are encouraged to own responsibility for their
behavior, applying the skills they have learned in their day to day
interactions.
The structured levels are based primarily on overall behavior (seg
status, conduct reports, etc) and double bunking. The lowest level
(Orange) is a very restrictive level that is designed specifically for
inmates who are showing significant mental instability or behavior
difficulties and may be used in lieu of high management. Inmates do not need a
conduct report to be placed on this level, and decisions such as allowing
the inmate to go to work/job/classes are strictly determined by the
treatment team (with supervisory approval). Levels Red, Blue, and Green
are levels providing for more responsibilities and are determined by
inmate status, and unit disciplinary structure. The highest level, Yellow,
(on A1 only) is achieved by maintaining general population status and
double bunking. Many of the offenders at WRC have had difficulty double-celling
and adjusting to a maximum custody setting. This gives them an opportunity
to be successful prior to transfer back to DOC. This level
is similar to the Independent level in the South Programming Pod for Medium security inmates,
so that there is some symmetry with the inmate management through WRC.
