The proposed project to add lethal fences to the perimeter security systems of several correctional facilities, is not approved for funding with VOI-TIS funds. MDOC proposes to continue funding the RSAT project at the Ozark Correctional Center. This project was initiated under a CSAT demonstration grant. Once that source of funding was no longer available, the program was slated to be discontinued, but the FY 1996 and 1997 RSAT grant enabled MDOC to keep the program open. The Ozark Correctional Center is a 650-bed medium security institution fully dedicated to the sole purpose of providing intensive substance abuse treatment for inmates who demonstrate serious addiction.
Treatment is provided through contracted services.
MDOC estimates that 500 participants will complete the program annually.
