the Literacy program, Vocational Training, or related trades classroom work that

is part of a certified apprenticeship program may be granted an achievement

award from performance pay funds.

b. With prior approval of the Psychology Services Department, each inmate who

is making satisfactory progress or completes a residential drug treatment

The Program Statement Education, Training, and Leisure Time Program Standards

describes program completion requirements for Literacy programs, including English-as-a-

Second-Language, and related trades programs. Prior to enrolling an inmate in any of these

programs, education staff will determine, and advise the inmate and the unit team, if completion

of the program will qualify the inmate for an Achievement Award. The Supervisor of Education

may only approve an Achievement Award upon the inmate’s satisfactory completion of the

program. The amount of the award may not exceed $25.00. Education staff will notify the unit

team when the inmate completes the program.

The Drug Abuse Programs Manual describes program completion requirements for inmates in

residential drug treatment programs. Each residential program should advise the inmate of the

Achievement Award criteria. The Drug Abuse Treatment Coordinator will complete the

necessary requests for award payments and return them to the Business Office.

The Program Statement Inmate Financial Responsibility Program contains information

regarding limitations, guidelines, and eligibility criteria for inmates with an “FRP Refuse”

assignment.
