Five Stages

Five stages. One transformation.

Each stage builds structured daily routines around counseling, education, work, victim awareness, community repair, and accountability — the operational detail behind the five-stage VR experience.

Parallel Accountability Pathway

Victim support and community repair run beside every stage.

The resident journey is not the whole story. ALPRP aligns each stage with centralized victim support through Haven Alabama and meaningful repair through restitution, victim-impact education, skilled work, and substantial community service. Victims receive help without having to chase it; residents use incarceration time to become accountable in measurable ways.

01

Revive

Existing resource · integrate: qualified clinical assessment and ADOC treatment where available. Existing resource · strengthen: documented access and continuity gaps. ALPRP addition · pilot: coordinated individualized planning. Future concept · evaluate: wearable location tools and advanced alerts.

Safety · Stability · Assessment · Universal Psychotherapy · Individualized Planning · Accountability

Revive begins with safety and stabilization. Every new resident receives a comprehensive assessment and begins psychotherapy, with counseling intensity tiered by clinical need rather than by status or privilege. The assessment produces one Individual Rehabilitation Plan that coordinates clinical care, substance-use treatment, cognitive-behavioral work, education, family needs, and measurable goals. Technology expands access and continuity, but clinicians and multidisciplinary human review remain responsible for treatment and progression decisions.

Core Components

  • Universal psychotherapy for every new Revive resident, with frequency and level of care based on clinical need
  • Comprehensive whole-person assessment leading to one Individual Rehabilitation Plan
  • Existing ADOC mental-health, substance-use, cognitive-behavioral and reentry programs preserved and connected rather than replaced
  • Secure in-person, group and telebehavioral-health access scaled through resident technology
  • Saharah supports requests, scheduling, exercises, journaling, reminders and follow-through; it does not replace a therapist or decide advancement
  • Victim-impact orientation begins while Haven Alabama connects victims to immediate support

02

Rehabilitate

Existing resource · integrate: Ingram State education and available ADOC treatment. Existing resource · strengthen: access, capacity and scheduling gaps. ALPRP addition · pilot: coordinated goals and documented competency review. Future concept · evaluate: new simulation and AI tools.

Evidence-Based Programs · Learning · Behavior Change · Personal Growth

Rehabilitate moves from stabilization into targeted treatment, learning and behavior change. Counseling remains available at the intensity supported by individual clinical need; it is not automatically reduced because a resident advances. Existing ADOC programs are retained and expanded, with technology used to increase reach, reinforce assignments, improve scheduling and connect residents to qualified specialists when local capacity is limited.

Core Components

  • Clinically indicated psychotherapy and behavioral-health care continue without a stage-based cutoff
  • Targeted interventions may include CBT, trauma treatment, addiction treatment, anger management, Thinking for a Change, parenting and relationship programming
  • ADOC programs remain the foundation; evidence-informed low-cost or open-access options may fill verified gaps
  • Individualized education and marketable skills, with disability accommodations and appropriate alternatives to trade or work requirements
  • Accountability education connects behavior change to the real harm experienced by victims and communities

Rebuild

Existing resource · integrate: approved inside-facility work and education. Existing resource · strengthen: skills access and continuity. ALPRP addition · pilot: documented responsibility and progression reviews. Future concept · evaluate: an internal paid-work economy, subject to authority, funding and safeguards.

Practice · Work · Take Responsibility · Demonstrate Competence

Rebuild shifts the center of gravity from classroom completion to real-world practice inside the institution. Residents work, learn, mentor and manage increasing responsibility while continuing psychotherapy, recovery support or booster programming whenever clinically indicated. Stage review looks for demonstrated competencies in emotional regulation, conflict resolution, recovery, reliability and responsible decision-making—not certificates alone. Housing uses shared rooms for up to six residents, with safety, privacy and disability accommodations. Stage 3 work remains inside the facility; authorized off-site activity begins in Stage 4.

Core Components

  • Structured inside-facility work and workforce development
  • Behavioral skills are tested in daily living, work, peer conflict and responsibility
  • Therapy, recovery support and booster programming remain available according to need
  • Higher-education opportunities, including associate degrees
  • Inside production, wages and repair-oriented work support restitution or the Victims Advocacy Fund

04

Restore

Existing resource · integrate: authorized transition and community services. Existing resource · strengthen: family and clinical handoffs. ALPRP addition · pilot: coordinated readiness and harm-repair planning. Future concept · evaluate: any additional off-site or furlough activity; eligibility and lawful authorization remain required.

Repair · Reconnect · Demonstrate Readiness · Begin Community Handoff

Restore connects demonstrated change with family, victim-conscious accountability and preparation for lawful community return. Behavioral-health care continues as needed while the resident begins a warm handoff to community clinicians, medication access, recovery supports and family services so treatment does not collapse at release.

Core Components

  • Restorative justice pathways remain voluntary for victims and include restitution and accountability
  • Trauma-informed family counseling and communication rebuilding where appropriate
  • Approved off-site employment, Community Repair Projects and structured transition activity
  • Community behavioral-health appointments, recovery supports and medication continuity begin before release
  • Victims may receive transition notifications, submit impact statements and choose whether any restorative process is appropriate

05

Release

Existing resource · integrate: parole supervision, community services and RESTART where eligible. Existing resource · strengthen: housing, treatment and workforce handoffs. ALPRP addition · pilot: verify referrals are received and outcomes followed. Future concept · evaluate: statewide expansion after evidence and approval.

Return Prepared · Remain Accountable · Sustain Care

Release is the community-continuity layer after lawful release. Residents carry their support forward. The same rehabilitation plan carries forward into community treatment, recovery support, employment, housing, supervision and family stability, with privacy protections and clearly defined responsibility for follow-through. Lawful release and rehabilitation progression are separate clocks. No stage, treatment milestone, employment offer, housing placement or unfinished plan extends confinement beyond lawful authority. Support continues after release from any stage.

Core Components

  • Comprehensive personalized reentry and continuity plan prepared before release where practicable; unfinished planning never delays lawful release
  • Warm handoff to community behavioral-health, medication and recovery providers
  • Employment placement, housing, identification, financial skills and supervision requirements coordinated with treatment needs
  • Continued mentorship and wraparound support after release
  • Restitution, no-contact protections, supervision compliance and community-repair commitments continue as legally applicable

Implementation and accountability · ALPRP proposal

Connect the services. Name the responsibility. Test the results.

Existing programs remain the starting point. Pilot 100 must verify the gaps, demonstrate added value and measure workload, cost, safety and continuity before expansion. Technology requires human review, limited access and independent downtime procedures.

Foundation across all five stages

Safeguards make progression credible

Progress remains fluid and evidence-based, but residents cannot be held responsible for services the institution failed to deliver. The Systemwide Safeguards Standard protects safety, care, access, documentation, and due process from Revive through Release.
