Warden Temas announced Washington Drug and Alcohol Commission, Inc., in the spirit of
cooperation, is offering to conduct an onsite monthly recovery planning workshop for the male and
female inmates who are looking at release dates within the next calendar month. This workshop is
being provided at no cost to the county.
The coal of the workshop is threefold.:
1) To get the inmates to create a written plan for their release to discourage the repetition of
behaviors that got them incarcerated in the first place;
2) To encourage the inmates to seek the support of a Certified Recovery Specialist upon release
from the jail or to engage some other avenue to support recovery and change; and
3) By accomplishing the above, reduce the likelihood of recidivism by workshop participants.
There being no further business, Chairman Maggi declared the meeting adjourned at
