The grant is being used to fund a six-month Residential Substance Abuse Treatment program.
Gov. Kay Ivey has awarded a $1.58 million grant to the Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) to fund a substance abuse treatment program for state prisoners.
“Helping prisoners break drug addictions reduces recidivism and puts them on a path toward a more productive life upon release,” Gov. Ivey said. “This grant will ensure state prisons get the tools they need to help inmates overcome the destructive influence of illegal drug use.”
