Problem Identification
South Florida, in which the Keys are located, is a mecca for illicit drug use and has a much higher
than national drug abuse prevalence. South Florida is a designated high- density drug trafficking
area and a leading cocaine importation center. The Florida Department of Children and Families
(DCF) reported that in FY 2008 -2009 there were an estimated 1,253,917 adults in the state with
substance abuse problems. Nearly 13% of them live below the poverty level. The primary drugs
abused were alcohol (35 %), cocaine /crack (25 %), marijuana (22 %), and opiates (12 %). Of those
adults needing treatment in the state, only 129,698 (11 %) were served. In FY 2008 -2009, a total
of 11,599 adults (DCF Quick Facts) were served by substance abuse treatment providers in DCF
Circuits 11 and 16 (Miami -Dade and Monroe Counties).
Within the Keys, data validates that substance abuse among the general population, and
particularly among those arrested, is high. Local data reflects and /or exceeds national and state
statistics. Records of HELPLINE, a 24 -hour crisis intervention, information and referral service in
Monroe County report 728 substance abuse prevention calls just in the last year. In 2009, there
were 6,801 arrests in Monroe County, Florida, with 6,524 being adults (95.9 %). The "index for
total crimes" increased by 7.7% in the County since 2006. During the same period, nonviolent
crime increased by 9.6 %.
From 2008 to 2009, there was a 5.6% increase in violent crime, with a 40.6% increase in domestic
violence offenses. Based on semi - annual reports from the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement for 2009 and 2010, several crimes showed a substantial increase in the County
compared to State rates (See Table 1).
Table 1: % Change
Crime County % Change State % Change
Drug Arrests 112.8 -3.5
Aggravated Assault 60.0 -8.9
Simple Assault 68.3 -1.1
Weapons Offenses 33.3 -17.2
Burglary 110.3 -5.5
During 2009, the average daily census in the Monroe County Jails was 524 inmates (449 in Key
West, 40 in Marathon, and 35 in Plantation Key). The incarceration rate in Monroe County in
2009 was 6.7/1,000 residents, more than twice the State rate (3.2). The Monroe County
Detention center reports that approximately 80% of incarcerated individuals have substance
abuse problems.
There are not enough substance abuse treatment services in Monroe County to handle the needs
and of those who return to our Criminal Justice System time, after time, after time. Often these
repeat offenders are not appropriate for the outpatient services available in the community due to
the nature of the crimes they have committed, or the

long- standing nature of their substance use disorder, or the likelihood that they may also have a
co- occurring mental health disorder, or a combination of any of these three issues. In cases such
as these, structured treatment in a controlled environment provides the best opportunity for
intervention to be effective and re -entry successful. The dollars that fund residential treatment in
the community are disappearing at an alarmingly high rate; just in the past two years, the funding
from the Department of Corrections for community residential treatment has dropped by forty two
percent (42 %). Monroe County's only community based residential program (Keys to Recovery in
Marathon) has become more limited in its ability to provide residential services due to those cuts
in funding dollars, and is at risk of closing altogether unless additional funding can be procured.
Many offenders with substance use disorders are also parents, negatively affecting their children
and overburdening our already taxed child welfare system. National Survey on Drug Use and
Health (NSDUH) reports that over 8.7 million children under the age of 18 (12.2 %) lived with at
least one parent who was dependent on or abused alcohol or an illicit drug during the past year.
Male and female offenders often experience mental illness and substance abuse disorders, have
child - rearing, parenting and custodial difficulties, health problems, histories of violence, sexual
abuse and corresponding trauma (Veysey, 1998). From a local perspective, Healthy Start has
indicated that 75% of the children in foster care in Monroe County have been exposed to
substance abuse in the family.
In order for a female offender to access services to address her needs associated with a serious
substance use disorder, she must leave the community and go to Miami /Dade or Broward County
for residential treatment. The Female Jail In -House Program (JIP) at the County Jail is the only
substance abuse treatment program in the Keys that provides comprehensive treatment services
in a controlled environment.
Funding for this program during the last fiscal year was provided by a Monroe County Clerk ?s
Drug Abuse Trust Fund Grant and Florida State Adult Substance Abuse funds through the
managing entity South Florida Behavioral Health Network.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
In 1997, The Jail Incarceration Program (JIP), as it was initially named, was developed in the
Monroe County Detention Center and began providing substance abuse treatment services to
inmates Today, most clients are court ordered by the Drug Court, Circuit Court and County Court
Judges in Monroe County. The rest are volunteers who meet criteria for drug /alcohol treatment
and will be in the county jail a minimum of 182 days. The program has established a positive
reputation county wide, working closely with judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys
throughout the county. DCF audits for the past three years reported that this program meets or
exceeds Best Practice standards with 100% compliance. In May, 2010 the program was
accredited by CARF.
Client - centered individualized treatment plans are a cornerstone of gender- responsive treatment.
After developing these plans in partnership with the program participant, treatment plan reviews,
case management services to provide community linkages and monthly self- reports of progress
continue to refine the plan. On -going program review occurs through monthly focus groups with
administrative staff and participants. The Global Assessment of Individual Needs (GAIN)
instrument provides a comprehensive assessment of client needs and assists in developing a
person - centered Wellness Plan that is updated with the participant every 30 days. Admission
policies are welcoming to

individuals with co- occurring disorders, learning disabilities, illiteracy, as well as Spanish speaking
inmates. This allows access for all who might otherwise not receive services. (There are bi- lingual
counselors to serve the Hispanic population.)
For co- occurring clients, a Mental Health Status Assessment identifies impairments in functioning.
If identified as having a possible mental health issue, the client receives a referral to a mental
health counselor and the Prison Health Services Psychiatrist as well as participating in services to
address the substance use disorder and criminal thinking and behavior. Treatment is for a
minimum of six months, with the possibility of lasting one year. Aftercare services are encouraged
as a part of re -entry planning and last up to six months. The Guidance /Care Center provides
aftercare throughout the Florida Keys in community -based facilities. Aftercare is given priority but
will not be funded by the Byrne Grant funds.
Program staff and corrections staff conduct random drug testing (urine analysis) and positive tests
result in 30 days in lock -up and a return to court for judicial review of the case. Tests used are the
Reditest 10 panel dip sticks testing for amphetamine, benzodiazepines, cocaine, opiates,
synthetic opiates, THC, PCP, barbiturates, MDMA and methadone. The program also has a
relationship with the local drug court to run tests on their machine if test results are questionable.
The Guidance /Care Center employs all program staff and has a strong background in substance
abuse counseling and mental health with appropriate certification. The program will require 3.5 FT
counselors to provide all core program services, with administrative support to conduct regular
case staffing, collect and report data, and monitor program outcomes. Two and a half (2.5) of
those positions will be funded through an RSAT grant and state funds for adult substance abuse
treatment. This grant funding will allow and support 65% of 1 FT position to provide services to no
less than 30 women for the one -year grant period.
Program services will be delivered using an evidence based practice Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy (CBT) curriculum entitled "Substance Abuse and Criminal Conduct: Strategies for Self
Improvement and Change/ Pathways to responsible living," authored by Harvey Milkman and
Kenneth Wanberg. Throughout the treatment episode and aftercare, the curriculum provides a
client workbook that belongs to and stays with the client. The cost of the workbook is $22.00 per
copy. Services are delivered in a Treatment Community (TC) setting and will also incorporate
Trauma - Informed and Trauma -Based Therapy Models and gender- responsive treatment to
promote the healing and teaching of the human spirit. These relational models support the
development of healthy relationships with self, significant others and the community at large in
order to reduce the risk of relapse and recidivism. Staff use individual and group formats to
deliver core services. As participants move through the program they learn to facilitate group
gatherings for such activities as morning affirmations, positive acknowledgement and recognition,
positive slip groups where participants share experiences of "catching" each other in random acts
of kindness and evening gratitude wrap ups.
The specific components of the treatment services include:
Education about addiction and the consequences of criminal behavior through therapeutic
experiences.
Teaching and learning about healthy ways of thinking, feeling, and acting in an

atmosphere of mutual respect.
Trauma - informed care (acknowledging the pain and violence in the person's past and offering
healthy alternatives for the future).
A range of informational, emotional, and behavioral options to shape safe and productive futures.
Emphasis on the ability to feel and express feelings that, in turn, increases a sense of self -worth.
Improving abilities to cope with their children and "the world around them."
Physical and emotional wellness.
Brother and Sisterhood and mentoring: Peers and staff collaborate to create hope and spiritual
growth by modeling healthy relationships, learning from each other and moving toward clean and
sober lives.
Skill building to recognize and reduce criminal thinking and conduct.
As participants advance through their individual program stages and begin to heal from within,
they take on increasing responsibilities for their own recovery/personal change and that of their
peers.
Continuum of care supports participants by connecting and coordinating aftercare in the
community and though 12- step /support group involvement.
Learning, developing, and practicing positive coping skills.
Developing and beginning to implement a realistic and hopeful life plan.
Treatment and education is provided across the following issues:
o Chemical Dependency
o Criminal Thinking and Destructive Behavior
o Healthy Relationships
o Financial
o Sexual
o Employment
o Physical and Mental Health
o Relapse Prevention
o Family Dynamics
o Domestic Relations
o Spirituality
o Parenting and Child Development
o Community Connectedness
As each client prepares for discharge from the program and release from incarceration, they work
with program staff to develop an Individualized Recovery Blueprint to facilitate transition into the
community. Staff help provide linkages to aftercare services and other community resources to
support on -going recovery and decrease the likelihood of recidivism.
