Rehabilitation of prisoners continues to be a priority of contemporary prisons.
Treatment programs in prison range from substance abuse and mental health programming to educational and vocational training.
Inmates are assessed at a reception center before being sent to their final confinement location. This enables staff to conduct testing of inmates to determine their level of security as well as their needs while incarcerated.
All inmates must meet 12th grade education standards. Inmates are assigned to vocational programs to help prepare them for reentry into the community.

The initial assessment of the inmate helps to determine what mental health treatment is needed.
Studies have demonstrated that most inmates in prison have a substance abuse problem so prisons have expanded the type of treatment programs offered.
Prison industries are a way to control behavior of inmates as well as to provide goods for use in the prison and at other governmental agencies.
Prison administration recognizes that religious programming is helpful in the rehabilitation of inmates. Therefore, it attempts to provide ways for inmates to practice their faith.
