Capacity InformationWork, Education, and Treatment ProgramsWork ProgramsAs part of an Intergovernmental Agreement ASPC-Tucson currently has a total of 27 inmate work crews; nine work crews are on contract with the Arizona Department of Transportation and work off-site trimming and cleaning debris from the median and sides of roads. The work sites cover an area between Tucson, Nogales, Marana and Sells. Other crews work for the Arizona State Parks Department at the Karchner Caverns located in Benson, Arizona. There are seventeen crews that work on site, either inside or outside of the secure perimeter, at the Santa Rita garden, Solar Industries and the fence project. In addition to these inmate crews, each unit is allocated a WIPP (Work Incentive Pay Plan) budget based on the number of inmates assigned to the unit. With these funds, inmates are paid to work at jobs ranging from labor crews which clean the yard, rake rocks and mow lawns, to semi-skilled and skilled jobs such as clerical, barber and maintenance jobs. Inmates may also work half a day and attend vocational education classes half a day for which they also receive WIPP wages. The Arizona Correctional Industries Sign Shop at ASPC-Tucson employs up to 26 inmates at an average wage of $.65/hour. These inmates are classified as skilled to highly technical, depending on the job involved. Most positions require a background in computer, silk screen, painting or metal fabrication.
Education ProgramsApproximately 30% of ASPC-Tucson inmates are involved in some form of education. 40% of arriving inmates have not yet achieved a 8th-grade level of education and are automatically enrolled in the compulsory literacy program. Programs available to the inmates are: English as a Second Language; Adult Basic Education; GED preparation; Pima Community College Vocational Courses. There are also classes offered to the inmate population via the cable television system which are now being formalized.
Treatment ProgramsG. F. Services, under a contract with the Department, provides substance abuse counseling (Gateway Program Foundation) in Winchester Unit. G. F. Services offers a monolingual Spanish program, as well as the traditional English program. There has consistently been nearly 100% participation by the inmate population in the Winchester unit. Sex Offender Treatment Program - In the interim, between contractors, Dr. Raj Srivastava will conduct a reduced program consisting of structured rehabilitation/relapse prevention groups and a support group.
