housing units and a program to inmates who want to make a change. we talk about women have very difficult time in recovery, why? because of guilt, shame, and remorse they experience. it s hard to let that go. because you made a mistake doesn t mean that you are a mistake. the program is called enough is enough and it s run by the jail s substance abuse program coordinator ken wright. you have a disease and you are not responsible for having it but you are responsible for recovery. the focus on basic recovery to help them get back into main stream society. one of the things that happens traditionally in corrections there s not a lot of programs to address recidivism, rearrest, the same old kind of soup every day, get locked up, stay in jail, learn how to be a better criminal, but never address the issues that are related to people coming in and out of jail. there s a men s version of the program as well.
he got up out of his rack, went to the bathroom area, put on his shoes, which is an indication of threatening and intimidating behavior. and as a result of that, he was put out of the program. the penitentiary mentality still running. again, he wants to put his shoes on and fight people, and it wasn t even his problem. it was somebody else s problem, but they was in the penitentiary together. you know how to goes. he s a good person and everything, when it comes to a friend, but when it comes to the program, he was just telling everybody what they want to hear and stuff like that. i ain t dogging him. i m not saying something i wouldn t say to him. it s an accountability program. it ain t about rats and snitches, it s about helping each other out. and now it s time for destiny van winkle to move on to the next phase of her life.
be different this time? i don t have the answers. okay. perfect. i m sick and tired of being sick and tired. i m tired of the same road i was going down the wrong path and i want the good path. let me tell you a couple of things about it. we do 12-step meetings, relapse prevention, life skills, big book study and we do a men s group. the hardest part of the program is what we call accountability. what s going to go against the whole jail code, that means that your peers will hold you accountable. we don t use the word snitch, we don t use the word rat. so if you re doing something some violation of the rules and regulations, you have an opportunity to hold yourself accountable and if you don t your peers will. i m ready to make a change and enough is enough. they sound real good, but who doesn t sound real good. they say all the right things. but the test is going to be once they actually get in the program.
if you let it go they re going to get you every time. i ve done too much time can t just let them take. somebody trying to be a bully and i m not the bullying type so i stood up, stood my ground. there have been more positive developments for john and joe. they have been accepted into enough is enough. the jail s drug rehab program where inmates move into a special dorm and must abide by strict guidelines. do you have any questions? not today, sir. absolutely none. do you understand the guidelines. you understand that tonight you ll be going to bed at 11:00 and get up at 8:00. that s correct. what i m letting you know it s not a choice. okay. you can t be laying in the bed and say you know what? today i just don t feel like doing it. because you have to put that same energy that you were using into the program.
