The Division of Rehabilitative Programs (DRP) is a branch of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR).
MISSION
To facilitate the successful reintegration of the individuals in our care back to their communities equipped with the tools to be drug-free, healthy, and employable members of society by providing education, treatment, rehabilitative, and restorative justice programs, all in a safe and humane environment.
VALUES
DRP operates under three core values: quality, resources, and performance.
- Quality: Ensures all DRP programs provide the necessary value, maximizing use of state funds, creating a safe prison environment, and effectively reducing recidivism.
- Resources: Ensure DRP maximizes all resources, providing the most effective programming.
- Performance: Monitor key performance indicators such as program completions, attendance, certifications, learning gains, and fidelity.
These guiding values provide a framework for DRP executives and staff as they work toward creating a “Roadmap to Rehabilitation”. Such a roadmap begins the day an offender is admitted to state prison and continues through his/her release to county jurisdiction or until the end of his/her parole supervision. A roadmap to rehabilitation is an essential element in navigating a productive and crime-free life. Essential to DRP’s success are partnerships with the Division of Adult Institutions (DAI), the Division of Adult Parole Operations (DAPO), and Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). A renewed and focused partnership removes duplication processes and procedures, combines necessary resources, and breaks down perceived silos that create inefficiencies.
Rehabilitative Process
From newly incarcerated to long-term offenders, everyone should think about their future release from prison. Starting early with rehabilitative programs is the best way for an offender to be prepared for success upon release.
Rehabilitative Programs and Services
An offender who is serving or has served their time on good behavior has access to many rehabilitative services and programs, if they are determined to be in need. These needs may include: education, job training, and anger management counseling — just to name a few. Depending on where the offender is in their sentencing, the options for rehabilitative services may vary.
