Mental Health Services and Inmate Programs

Mental Health Services treats as many as 32 male and 16 female inmates in the Caddo Correctional Center who require special housing and mental health treatment. These services are provided by counselors, psychiatrists and other trained mental health associates.

Community volunteers help with the many programs provided to inmates in the Inmate Programs work area. The efforts of these community volunteers are appreciated and encouraged.

Among the programs offered are:

• GED preparation
• Substance abuse
• Parenting
• Alcoholics Anonymous
• Literacy classes
• "Power Group" anti-gang program
• Religious services
• Library services

These programs provide a wealth of opportunities for inmates to further their education and build their self-confidence.
