Objective
The objective of the Tracking program is to meet the needs of two distinct
populations:
-
Track 1 is the Daily Incentive (DI) program which helps an inmate
develop the capacity to self-regulate emotions and engage in
pro-social behaviors in order to maintain placement within a less
restrictive setting. This is the main program on unit F-12.
-
Track 2 is the Assigned program for inmates who have been identified
by the admissions team (H15) for an assigned unit/pod and are residing
on Unit 12 on a short-term basis.
Vision
Inmates participating in the DI program will develop and maintain an
increased sense of self-regulation and adaptive behaviors so that they
are able to transition to a less restrictive environment.
Unit Program Summary
The DI program is designed or suited primarily for inmates who present
problematic behaviors and have difficulty maintaining pro-social
behaviors in a less structured environment. The DI program integrates
the "recovery" and "decompression" models of
treatment in providing behavioral feedback. The unit program is designed
to foster awareness and adaptation of self-control as well as enhancing
appropriate social interactions with peers and institution staff. The
unit operates as an inter-disciplinary management program, structured to
provide rapid feedback about their behaviors. The inter-disciplinary
treatment team reviews inmate progress daily and identifies individual
treatment needs. Along with the Wisconsin Resource Center's objective
and goals, the B8 team focuses on empowering inmates to learn the
necessary skills for improving the quality of institutional life and to
enhance self-reliance and confidence.
The DI program includes ratings that measure interactions with peers,
interactions with staff, rule compliance (limits), and activity and
school involvement. A target behavior (special) may also be added
through the treatment learning plan (TLP) process, or at treatment team
discretion to assist the inmate in identifying a specific challenge that
needs to be addressed. These measures are shared with the individual in
a coaching/teaching approach to assist them in recognizing their level
of skill development. Once outcome measures indicate skill attainment,
then the individual can petition and be reviewed for the maintenance
stage of the DI program or a less restrictive setting such as another
program unit.
