Additionally, residential drug abuse programs, as well as a sex offender treatment program, are available. After successfully completing the Residential Drug Abuse Program, convicts will be placed in a 180-day residential re-entry center. Offenders with a non-violent history who successfully complete the drug abuse program may earn a 12-month reduction in their sentence. Female inmates at the prison camp are assigned work through UNICOR. The Federal Prison Industries (FPI) manages UNICOR. All well-behaved offenders are invited to participate in recreational activities such as crafting, watching television, team sports, or wellness instruction.
