Our Program

Thresholds teaches a six-step decision-making program to inmates in Delaware Correctional Facilities. Using a workbook in weekly classes of one to two hours, volunteers teach inmates how to define their situation, set goals, evaluate possibilities for reaching their goals, and how to make use of techniques to stay focused until their goals are achieved. Learning to problem solve and make better decisions enables him or her to be a more productive person upon release.
