SECTION C – STATEMENT OF WORK

Re-entry and Sanctions Center (RSC) Group Intervention Services

C.1 Agency Background

C.1.1 The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) was established under Section 11232 of the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997 to effectuate the reorganization and transition of functions relating to pretrial services, parole, adult probation and offender supervision in the District of Columbia to a Federal Executive Branch agency. CSOSA’s mission is to increase public safety, prevent crime, reduce recidivism, and support the fair administration of justice in close collaboration with the community through the supervision of all probationers, parolees and supervised releases held under the authority of any United States or District of Columbia statute, or any other lawful authority entrusted to the District.

C.1.2 The Re-entry and Sanctions Center (RSC) is located at 1900 Massachusetts Avenue, SE, Washington DC. CSOSA's 102-bed RSC provides high-risk offenders and defendants (hereinafter referred to as residents) with a 28 day (men) and 42 day (women) intensive assessment and reintegration program. The RSC also allows CSOSA to impose prompt and meaningful residential sanctions for residents who have violated the conditions of their release, improving the likelihood of successful supervision.

C.1.3 The RSC Group Intervention Services program will meet the assessment and evaluative needs of female residents with extensive substance abuse histories. The female residents (up to 15) assigned to the RSC participate in a 42-day holistic and multidisciplinary program, during which they do not leave the facility or receive visitors. Treatment readiness and motivation is the focus of each of the interventions offered at the RSC. These interventions are structured to address one or more of the factors identified as particular challenges to a female resident’s successful reentry and long-term recovery from substance abuse. These factors may include psychiatric distress, substance abuse, cognitive impairments, protracted withdrawal, poor attachment/social bonding, and extensive criminality.

C.1.4 Female residents receive counseling, a complete physical, psychological, and behavioral assessment, as well as referral to an inpatient, residential, or daily outpatient substance abuse treatment program. Upon completion of the program, female residents are equipped with the tools needed to prevent relapse, succeed in a treatment modality, improve familial relationships, and modify deviant behaviors. Because an extensive discharge summary is prepared for, and shared with, each female resident, the female resident leaves the RSC program with a better understanding of her relapse triggers and the specific strategies that she can use to counteract them. After being introduced to these concepts, the female resident is more likely to enter treatment with a positive attitude and a commitment to change. In addition, the in-depth RSC assessment is used to develop the female resident's supervision plan so that they are held accountable for engaging in programming that addresses their needs.

C.2 Objectives

C.2.1 The Contractor shall provide all necessary labor, supervision, materials, and supplies to provide female group intervention services at the CSOSA RSC, in accordance with the requirements specified herein.

C.2.2 To effectively address re-entry barriers that are common to all female RSC residents, the Contractor shall facilitate group interventions, which are designed to identify the barriers and equip the female residents with strategies for approaching and overcoming such barriers. Examples of common barriers include anger management, denial, relapse prevention, etc.

C.2.3 The Contractor shall provide the necessary staff and labor to facilitate one or a combination of group, and/or individual therapy sessions, for RSC female residents, and upon request, attend Interdisciplinary Team Meetings (IDTs) to present/discuss resident findings.

C.2.4 The Contractor shall be available to provide on-site group and individual therapy sessions of up to one (1) hour per session, any time, during the hours of 9:00 am – 9:00 pm Monday to Friday. An agreed upon staffing schedule will be developed between CSOSA and the Contractor at the post-award meeting to be held within ten (10) days following award.

C.2.5 The sessions will consist of female residents with extensive substance abuse histories that are either in a re-entry or sanctioned status and have been sent to the RSC for stabilization. Some may also have co-occurring disorders.

C.2.6 The Contractor staff conducting each group/individual session shall arrive at the RSC at least five (5) minutes prior to the scheduled session in order to meet with the RSC Unit Manager, or their designee, for a pre-intervention briefing. At the beginning of each group/individual session the Contractor shall provide the resident(s) with a sign-in sheet to ensure credit for participation in the group sessions.

The group will use cognitive restructuring to help women increase their self-awareness, improve their self-esteem, and shape the choices a woman makes throughout her recovery. The group will also focus on helping women to identify unhealthy relationships and co-dependent behaviors, grieve and reconcile loss, and create supportive and mutually satisfying relationships

C.6 Group Psychotherapy Session Performance Requirement.

C.6.1 Psychotherapy Group Sessions. The Contractor shall facilitate direct psychotherapy groups and ad hoc individual counseling sessions to residents, and present findings in IDT meetings.
