We currently have over 1800
Therapeutic Community beds.
Working with Courts and other programs inside the facilities to
help reduce recidivism
Our Therapeutic Communities are a
minimum of 8 months of
intensive treatment that can earn up to
a 6 month credit time cut.
We have two different types of TC:• General Therapeutic
Community: Clients with significant impairment to any substance
• C.L.I.F.F. (Clean Lifestyle Is Freedom Forever): Governor Daniels initiative for clients with significant impairment to methamphetamine.

Intensive treatment that holds the offenders highly
accountable - Offenders earn privileges and responsibilities
in the community as they progress in their recovery
Modified Therapeutic Community Model
Cognitive Behavioral best practice interventions are
used
All evidence based programming
AA/NA meetings are available to offenders in the TC
Stanton Samenow’s “Commitment to change;
Overcoming errors in thinking” series is utilized
Following the intensive phase, they will participate in
relapse prevention programming for the
remainder of their incarceration
C.L.I.F.F. Programs utilize the Matrix Model which is a
Methamphetamine specific curriculum
Therapeutic Community Overview
To create and foster a working relationship between the IDOC’s
Therapeutic Communities and the
Indiana Judicial System.
Judges can sentence chemically addicted
offenders and document that they
will ”Consider a sentence
modification” should the offender successfully complete a therapeutic community.
The offender can receive treatment and
be returned to the community through existing community programs such as:
Re-Entry Courts
CTP Program
Community Work Release
Other available Community Services
Purpose
The program will provide the courts
progress reports on the offenders that are
participating in the program.
Informal reports can be requested by the sentencing judge at any point during the
incarceration.
We can provide Judges and Court personnel with our OCMS data base (read access only)
Communication with the Court
The judge or an officer of the court can visit
the offender in order to determine progress
If the offender successfully completes
the therapeutic program, the judge will
be notified.
This comprehensive information will be
made available to the court and can assist in
decisions when considering sentence
modifications
Communication with the Court
The Indiana Judicial System and the Department of Correction can work together to support the offenders successful reentry to the community
We will target a decrease in recidivism rates and conduct a three year statistical study.
Recidivism Rates for these offenders will be tracked separately as well as in the aggregate.
What are the Advantages
Monitoring recidivism will be vital to determine
the overall effectiveness of
“Purposeful Incarceration”
Recidivism data on offenders participating in this program will be generated separately as well as included in the respective TC’s overall recidivism
rates
These offenders will be identified so
that they can be tracked separately
from other Therapeutic Community participants.
We will identify the facility, offenders
name, DOC number, County, Judge, EPRD
and TC start and completion dates and
types (successful, unsuccessful)
Data Collection
Please note in the sentencing order; the Court will consider a sentencing modification if the individual successfully completes a Department of Correction Therapeutic Community.Notify the appropriate Department of Correction staff via email to contain:
