The criminal justice curriculum, How to Escape Your Prison, addresses criminal thinking, co-occuring disorders, and substance abuse.
The workbook is available for both adults and adolescents.
The workbook is used in a variety of criminal justice settings, including jails, prisons, community corrections, TCs, halfway houses, diversion, parole and probation, and drug/mental health/DUI courts.
