NCJ Number: NCJ 163397 Title: Oklahoma's Regimented Inmate Discipline Program for Males: Its Impact on Recidivism Author(s): P D Holley; D E Wright Journal: Journal of the Oklahoma Criminal Justice Research Consortium Volume:2 Dated:(August 1995) Pages:58-70 Date Published: 1995 Page Count: 13 Annotation: This article reports on recidivism among participants in Oklahoma's Regimented Inmate Discipline (RID) program, a boot camp for males located at William S. Key Correctional Center in Fort Supply, Okla. Abstract: The RID program occupies a portion of the minimum-security facility. The program is defined as 'a structured paramilitary program that, through positive communications, will enable the offender to gain self-pride, self-esteem, and self-worth.' It has both discipline and treatment elements. The research reported in this article targeted the impact of the RID program after early 1989.

It examined program effectiveness by measuring the recidivism rates of those in RID compared to those receiving another disposition. The evaluation selected the years 1989, 1990, and 1991 to provide sufficient postrelease time for measurement of recidivism. Statistical data were obtained from the Research and Evaluation Unit of the Department of Corrections regarding the populations of all first-time offenders received during the years at issue who had also completed their original sentences. Data were collected on 712 RID trainees who had completed the program, 634 offenders on a suspended sentence (probation) who had completed their sentences, and 915 offenders received for incarceration who had completed their sentences. All offenders were male.

Although 65 percent of RID participants succeeded in not recidivating, they were more likely to recidivate than probationers and those incarcerated (83 and 80 percent recidivism, respectively). 5 tables and 34 references Main Term(s): Corrections effectiveness Index Term(s): Recidivism; Male offenders; Shock incarceration programs; Oklahoma Type: Program/Project Evaluation Country: United States of America Language: English To cite this abstract, use the following link:.A link to the full-text document is provided whenever possible.

My son is now in the 3rd phase of the RID program. There are 4 phases, each lasting 35 days. The first phase is tough with hours of physical training. They have no visitation and no privileges during this time. At SMCI, PT is conducted by military instructors usually from Camp Shelby.

This eases off gradually with each phase. There are two sections; phase 1 and 2, and phase 3 and 4.

Where is the The RID Program in Oklahoma located? ChaCha Answer: RID is described in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections 1990.

The sections are large with wall to wall bunks. There is no TV or radio, and no reading material except for bibles. Those who do not have a high school diploma take GED classes.

My son graduated from high school and helps those trying to get their GED with their studies at night. He had to complete a bible study program. He will enter A&D shortly, and pre-release counseling. He goes on work detail in the community which usually consists of landscaping at public institutions or maintaining the prison property. Work detail is rotated and he is disappointed when he can't go. He has gained 20 lbs. And looks healthy even though he complains about the food.

There will be a graduation ceremony upon his completion of phase 4. From what I have experienced, this seems to be a good program for first time youthful offenders.

The most difficult time for all of us was his delay at CMCF awaiting a bed. My son is now in the 3rd phase of the RID program. There are 4 phases, each lasting 35 days. The first phase is tough with hours of physical training.

I got my GED there and it changed my life.

Now I'm doing large mammal monitoring in Coyote Valley, CA. I'm two classes away from my A.A. The place I was shipped to dead in the middle of Oklahoma. Keys, I believe. RID is a segregated prison inside the prison. The funny thing is that only our unit was fenced with barbwire. It felt like we were in our own private hamster cage.

The program was tough at first, but I felt that the staff wanted to help those who were willing to help themselves. As long as you didn't get into fights, mess with tobacco, make deals you shouldn't be making, or try to be a badass and/or dumbass, you didn't have to worry too much.

There were Sustance Abuse Education programs, a Christian 'Science' program, and peer counseling by older inmates from main yard. We would march to the chow hall three times a day. The meals were timed, so you had to eat in 3-4 minutes.

The food was good. Sundays was chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes with white gravy, veggies, and a dinner roll. Don't ask for extra jelly, or people will look at you weird. We were seperated into 3 platoons. 1st and 2nd platoon were on the second story, had priviledges, and could walk around freely. Third platoon was down stairs, with no privacy, no priviledges, and no fun.

I came in wanting to change my life, I tried to the best of my ability, and I was given a second chance. The program was a 24 year old age limit.

A lot of the people in RID were just kids who got in trouble for things that kids do. A lot of the guys in there were cool. I met black people, white, Indian, Asian, Hispanic, and who ever else is in Oklahoma. A lot of these guys are just a product of where they come from. They were intelligent, caring people.

I'll never forget my experience in RID. My heart goes out to all the good people who help others, and to the people who want to make themselves better. Thanks Bill George, Sgt. DeFever, Sgt Tally, Sgt Weeks, the other D.I.' S, the brothers in peer counseling, the nurse who took care of my brown recluse spider bite, my lawyer Larry (god bless you, man). quote=kji want to know will he come home with me the same day or do the court have to send someone to pick him up?

It depends on his sentencing papers. If it says that he has to contact his parole officer 1st day after he gets home than he can go home that day. My husband is there and he said that it would be easier to pick him up at the bus stop because it sometimes takes longer to get the paper work done for you to pick someone up. I hope this helps if you need any more information just ask. There is a possibility that my fiancee' will be sentenced to RID for 6 months.

I understand now what happens there, and on one hand I want him to go because it would be good for him, but on the second hand I miss him already. He's been in jail for over a month now, and I want him home. He desperately wants to come home. His mother wants him to go to the program because honestly, It IS a good experience and hopefully would help him.

What I wanna know is -Do they get to call us? -Can we call them? -Is there visiting? -When & how long would it be? We live in Oklahoma.

If someone can please please answer my questions. I can't live without my honey- I am 100% faithful to him and I wanna know if he does get sent there, how can I talk to him and keep in touch every moment we can. Please help.!
