Casper Re-Entry Center Residents Donate to Local Community
Roseland, NJ, Dec 20, 2007 - From east coast to west coast, current and former residents of CEC reentry programs are pitching in this holiday season to give back to the community. In Wyoming, residents of the Casper Re-Entry Centers' therapeutic community and work release program raised over three thousand dollars to purchase gifts and food to provide to needy families in the local area.
"I am very proud of the efforts of these men. The goodwill and compassion they displayed during this holiday fundraiser is evidence to me that upon release, they will do the same," said Lisa Graham, Director of the Casper Re-Entry Center.
The Casper Re-entry Center is a residential reentry facility that opened in February 2005 and provides services to three distinct populations. The Community Alternatives of Casper Community Alternatives of Casper is a 200-bed community corrections and work-release program that provides residential and non-residential services to adult male and female offenders referred by the Wyoming Department of Corrections and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
The Casper Re-Entry Center also houses a medium secure Therapeutic Community (TC) program called Casper Hall. This program provides a treatment milieu that motivates and assists offenders in achieving meaningful goals. Peer influence is an important component of the program. Residents interact with peers through a variety of group processes used to help individual learn and assimilate social norms and develop more effective social skills.
The CRC/Natrona County Residential Drug Court Treatment Program is a unique public/private partnership with the Wyoming Seventh Judicial Circuit Court, District Attorney Offices, City of Casper, Natrona County and the Wyoming Department of Corrections.
