Today, the two men are working side by side to develop and

pain and stress they are experiencing , they often turn to drugs or

Choate is using lessons he learned from his past to help the 118

responsibility and positive, lasting relationships.

Say Proposed Mandatory Minimum Sentences Are Unfunded Mandate

WASHINGTON , The Council of Prison Locals, the union
representing correctional staff in federal prisons, today warned that
legislation making its way through Congress that would classify certain gang-
related crimes as federal offenses and impose mandatory minimum sentences
could make federal prisons more dangerous. Despite the fact that the accused
has been determined to be mentally competent, the trial currently is delayed
yet again so another determination of competency can be made.
There are currently more than 2,500 offenders on any given day at CCA
facilities nationwide who are participating in these CCA intensive,
residential addictions treatment and behavioral programs, and that
number is growing every day.
The program is typically nine months long and includes 500 hours of
highly structured cognitive-behavioral curriculum aimed at helping
individuals change their thinking patterns . Don Murray at (800)

murdered. The trial has been delayed several times, in part due to
defense claims that the accused is insane. What else can the defense say when the murder was caught
on video tape besides argue that their client is crazy? The defense won't
admit guilt and accept punishment. Choate was not an offender at
Cimarron--rather, he was overseeing the facility's addictions
treatment program."
"Many of the individuals we treat come from unstable , unhealthy
and abusive family environments.

According to Bureau of Prisons data, the number of
assaults is now 34 percent higher than during the early part of the decade. Each is
voluntary, and offenders choose to enter a "community" within their
correctional facility where everyone shares a common goal of breaking
their addictions. The offenders eat, sleep and participate in therapy
and curriculum together. The success of this
program is exemplified by a 16 to 18 percent reduction in recidivism
even for offenders who have been released from prison for three years.
