Casper Drug Treatment for Inmates
(2009-11-02)
(wpr) - Each year, about a hundred male drug addicts in Wyoming are moved from prison...to a locked facility west of Casper. They spend about 12 months there toward the end of their prison sentence, living alongside other addicts, and looking hard at why they used drugs. This model is called a therapeutic community, or T-C. Wyoming's program began in 2005... and will soon expand, with 144 T-C beds at the new Torrington prison. Wyoming Public Radio's Addie Goss reports on life inside T-C's walls... and life once these men get out. © Copyright 2009, wpr
