STATEMENT OF WORK
STATEMENT OF WORK
A. BACKGROUND
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) is committed to providing quality, evidence-based psychological treatment to all inmates in transition to the community in need of these services. Bureau psychology treatment programs are designed on the most recent research and evidence-based practices, ensuring effective treatment programs. These evidence-based treatment practices have demonstrated:
• the reduction of inmate misconduct;
• the reduction of substance abuse, relapse, and recidivism;
• the reduction of criminal activity;
• an increase in the level of functioning for inmates with mental illness and behavioral disorders;
• an increase in the level of the inmate’s stake in societal norms; and
• an increase in standardized community transition/aftercare treatment programs.
The Bureau operates a structured drug abuse treatment program to identify inmates in need of substance abuse treatment upon entry and throughout their incarceration. This multi-pronged treatment delivery system accommodates the entire spectrum of inmates in need of substance abuse programs through the Drug Abuse Education Course, the Non-residential Treatment Program, Residential Drug Abuse Programs (RDAP), Follow-up Treatment in general population, and Community Transitional Drug Abuse Treatment.
The Bureau offers voluntary sex offender treatment to female and male inmates with a history of sexual offending. It provides two levels of treatment intensity: residential and non-residential. Participants in residential treatment benefit from a modified therapeutic community on a residential housing unit where they work to reduce their risk of future offending. Non-residential treatment consists of outpatient groups meeting 2-3 times per week. Both programs help participants learn basic skills and concepts to understand their past offenses and how to
SECTION C RFPP0700NAS170973 PAGE 6 OF 43
decrease the likelihood of repeating past sex offender behaviors.
Additionally, the Bureau provides trauma treatment for both female and male inmates. This program consists of two primary components: a psycho-educational workshop and a non-residential program for inmates with trauma-related disorders. The psycho-educational workshop provides information on trauma and its potential impact. The non-residential program helps inmates acquire basic coping and interpersonal skills to best meet their trauma-related treatment needs.
B. SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work for this contract contains two areas. First, the contractor shall develop and provide treatment journals or workbooks and facilitator guides for substance abuse, sex offender, and trauma treatment for incarcerated adults. The journals must be written between a 6th and 8th grade reading level. Substance abuse treatment material shall cover psycho-education, therapeutic community, cognitive skills, behavior change, criminal lifestyles, recovery maintenance, pro-social relationships and other related topics. This substance abuse material shall be provided in English and Spanish. Sex offender materials shall cover attitudes, distorted thinking, victim impact, pro-social living, and self-regulation. Trauma treatments materials shall cover the identification and the impact of trauma and how to develop safe strategies to mitigate its effect. All treatment materials shall follow accepted evidenced based practices.
The second area concerns video material. The contractor shall develop and provide 2 (two) videos to be shown to inmates. One video explains the purpose and successes of Bureau treatment programs and motivates inmates to participate in existing substance abuse treatment programs. The second video shall be developed to be used in conjunction with the drug education journal.
SECTION C RFPP0700NAS170973 PAGE 7 OF 43
C. TASKS/OBJECTIVES
I. INTERACTIVE JOURNALS
The journals will be in four-color format using Bureau approved graphics, symbols and illustrations. A facilitator’s guide of the same quality as the participant journal must be developed and provided by the contractor for each participant journal.
This guide shall instruct the treatment staff on the use of the journal to include recommended readings as well as page-by-page explanations of journal activities and exercises.
The journals must use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidenced based modalities such as interactive journals that have been verified as evidenced-based by a nationally accredited outside source.
The Contracting Officer’s Representative has final approval to ensure all interactive journals are in compliance with the Statement of Work (SOW).
I-1. Drug Education Journal
Designed for general population inmates, this journal uses consciousness-raising techniques to explore the links between drugs and crime applying biopsychosocial factors. Drug-specific education leads inmates to explore their personal using history, the consequences they experienced and what strategies they can put in place to make future changes. This journal also provides additional resources and information for other Bureau treatment programs. The contractor shall provide this journal in English for an adult prison population. The length of this journal is expected to cover between 12 and 15 hours of instruction.
I-2. Ten Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program (RDAP) Journals
These journals cover the Bureau’s concepts involved in residential substance abuse treatment in a Modified Therapeutic Community (MTC). Each journal’s approximate size shall contain enough material to cover 24-30 hours of instruction. The contractor shall provide the following journals in English and Spanish for adult male and female prison inmates.
SECTION C RFPP0700NAS170973 PAGE 8 OF 43
The following topics are introduced and linked to behavioral examples within the MTC:
1. Modified Therapeutic Community Journal: Provides a foundation on the structure and purpose of the Bureau’s modified therapeutic community (MTC), including the role of “community as method” within an inmate’s treatment program. These concepts are also applied through practical exercises designed to develop both communication and lifestyle balance skills.
2. Opportunity to Change Journal: Builds on the therapeutic foundations of a community-oriented treatment model, while introducing the standards of participation in RDAP. Also introduces the core components of the RDAP Program: the positive attitudes, rational thinking, prosocial lifestyle, healthy relationships and recovery maintenance. This journal incorporates self-reflective questioning on the consequences of drug use, program and community goal-setting pages, and conceptual grounding within the transtheoretical model of behavior change (Prochaska & Velicer, 1997).
Prochaska, J., & Velicer, W. (1997). The transtheoretical model of health behavior change. American Journal of Health Promotion, 12(1), 38-48.
3. Rational Thinking (Part 1) Journal: Reviews core concepts of cognitive-behavioral therapy, specifically harnessing the activating events, beliefs and consequences (ABC model) of Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy. Inmates identify and construct rational challenges for each of the common thinking errors as described by Albert Ellis.
Ellis, A., and Dryden, W. (2007), The practice of rational emotive behavior therapy. Springer publishing company. 85- 89.
This Journal also introduces Dr. Maxie Maultsby’s three goals of Rational Self-Counseling, and the Five Rules for Rational Thinking.
Maultsby, M. (1990), Rational behavioral therapy. Rational self-help aids.16-19, 176-79.
SECTION C RFPP0700NAS170973 PAGE 9 OF 43
4. Rational Thinking (Part II) Journal: Focuses on strategies for addressing emotional and behavioral consequences within the ABC model of Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy. Inmates review key facts about feelings, as well as high-risk emotions of anger, fear, boredom, sadness, guilt and resentment. Both cognitive and behavioral strategies are introduced as solutions for managing undesired consequences, including reviewing attitudes and challenging thinking errors.
5. Prosocial Lifestyle (Part 1) Journal: Inmates perform decisional-balance exercises to evaluate current motivations to change and form connections between rewards that reinforce learned behaviors. This journal also introduces Glenn Walters’s concept of personal variables and situational variables that make up an individual’s “Conditions.” Common thinking errors previously introduced within this series are now compared to Walters’s eight criminal thinking errors.
6. Prosocial Lifestyle (Part 2) Journal: Distinguishes between criminal lifestyle patterns and prosocial lifestyle patterns through Glen Walters’s four behavioral characteristics of a criminal lifestyle. Walters, G., (1990). The criminal lifestyle:
patterns of serious criminal conduct. Inmates connect these characteristics to thinking errors by challenging irrational self-talk. This journal includes exercises to develop empathy through a “Victim Awareness” section, explore harmful attitudes such as grandiosity and disrespecting authority, construct a statement of commitment and update the list of previously created program and community goals.
7. Living with Others (Part 1) Journal: Drawing on Bowenian concepts of familial traits and trends, inmates map their family and peer relationships through genogram exercises, identifying both positive and negative traits they have inherited from others. The journal introduces various negative roles that disrupt group environments within the Bureau’s MTC, as well as the community at large. Inmates explore behavioral responses within these roles, and through expressive writing exercises practice skills for communicating assertively as well as goal-setting within the “here and now” of their community.
8. Living with Others (Part 2) Journal: Reviews key areas of a balanced lifestyle, including physical activity, mental health, SECTION C RFPP0700NAS170973 PAGE 10 OF 43 leisure time, employment skills and community involvement, which present a biopsychosocial perspective of the inmate’s current and future situation. Inmates also complete behavioral and cognitive expressive writing exercises addressing key transition issues such as handling social pressure and reestablishing relationships upon reentry.
9. Recovery Maintenance Journal: Reviews personal strengths and skills inmates have practiced throughout their treatment program, and how these can act as “exit strategies” to return to recovery after experiencing a stage of relapse. These stages of relapse can include: damaging attitudes, urges and cravings, high-risk situations and single use (Abstinence Violation Effect). Inmates explore thought patterns and through expressive writing exercises, construct situational responses and strengthen their support network to help avoid relapse and their change statements.
10. 12-Month Follow-Up Journal: This journal builds on the key skills and concepts inmates learned during the previous nine journals in the RDAP to support drug-free, crime-free lives. It is comprised of 12 monthly sections which provide a comprehensive review of all main content areas in the RDAP journal curriculum.
3. Four Nonresidential Drug Abuse Treatment Journals
These journals cover the Bureau’s concepts involved in the less intensive weekly substance abuse treatment program. Each journal’s approximate size shall contain enough material to cover 4-7 hours of instruction. The contractor shall provide the following journals in English for adult male and female prison inmates:
1. Introduction Journal: Reviews expectations, challenges and opportunities inmates may experience beginning their treatment program. This journal introduces positive attitudes for success, and provides opportunities for inmates to evaluate their substance use history. A conceptual introduction to the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change Prochaska, J. and Velicer, W. (1997), Introduction: the transtheorectical model, American Journal of Health Promotion., motivational-enhancement, SECTION C RFPP0700NAS170973 PAGE 11 OF 43 goal-setting exercises, and a personal readiness statement are explored.
2. Cognitive Skills Journal: Outlines effective ways for inmates to understand their harmful, self-defeating behaviors, including an introduction to the ABC model of Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy. Inmates learn to apply the Five Rules for Rational Thinking and Dr. Maxie Maultsby’s three goals of Rational Self-Counseling. The journal introduces the Bureau’s process for challenging irrational self-talk, and allows for inmates to practice using this skill to challenge their thinking and distorted beliefs.
3. Core Skills Journal: Emphasizes four key skills to help inmates make positive changes to their thinking and actions:
replacing irrational and criminogenic beliefs; improving self-control; practicing effective communication and building healthy relationships. Structured exercises allow inmates to practice each of these skills and to construct a personal Statement of Change.
4. Recovery Journal: Explores the concepts of “relapse” and “recovery” and uses strength-building exercises to review the skills inmates have developed throughout the Nonresidential Drug Abuse Treatment Program. Inmates also learn about warning signs of relapse and create a personalized recovery maintenance plan.
The journal concludes with a review of goals to address substance use problems and other behavioral issues inmates have identified.
4. Nine Residential Treatment Journals-Challenge Program
The following interactive journals shall be in English for adult male prison inmates in a high security setting:
1. Orientation Journal: Provides a formal introduction to the Challenge program, and explores the benefits of being part of a treatment community. Inmates learn about self-defeating thoughts, roadblocks to positive change, the “here and now” concept, the positive attitudes. In addition, inmates construct their readiness statement, which includes their stated need for help from their community and treatment program.
SECTION C RFPP0700NAS170973 PAGE 12 OF 43
2. Rational Thinking Journal: Explains how thoughts influence beliefs, feelings and action through the ABC model as described by Albert Ellis. Inmates identify Ellis’s common thinking errors and use structured exercises to create rational challenges and other strategies for countering negative self-talk. In this journal, inmates learn the Five Rules for Rational Thinking and Maxie Maultsby’s three goals of Rational Self-Counseling. The journal concludes with structured questions to address any cognitive dissonance inmates might experience when applying these new tools.
3. Criminal Lifestyles Journal: Explores how criminal behavior develops from thinking and choices, using decisional-balance exercises and motivational-enhancement strategies to evaluate the impact of a criminal lifestyle, and the rewards of making positive changes in the future. Eight criminal thinking errors are presented, based on the work of Glenn Walters, as well as the effect of the criminal lifestyle on themselves and others.
Lastly, inmates create personal statement of commitment.
4. Violence Prevention Journal: Inmates explore the role violence (both physical and emotional) has played in their lives, examining childhood beliefs and crafting rational challenges as a way to break the cycle of violence, both in their personal lives and in their treatment community. They challenge irrational beliefs which assists inmates in building a violence prevention plan.
5. Communication Journal: Focuses on assessing current communication styles and presents skills for effective communication, including structured exercises for improving one’s speaking and listening skills, and body language.
Exploring strategies for controlling anger and the development of a personalized anger control plan is covered as well as an exploration of unhealthy relationship patterns and the components and benefits of healthy relationships.
6. Life Balance Journal: Emphasizes five core elements of a balanced lifestyle: physical health, healthy relationships, emotional health, community involvement and finding meaning and purpose. Targeted exercises help inmates explore these areas through a biopsychosocial lens, and each life area is linked to a page of personal reflection and goal-setting for the future.
SECTION C RFPP0700NAS170973 PAGE 13 OF 43
Inmates review each of these areas, and prompts target behaviors and teach skills for making positive adjustments within the “here and now.”
7. Transition Journal: Identifies key transition issues that inmates might face upon reentry. Behavior-based exercises help inmates create rational solutions for working effectively with authority figures, handling social pressure and maintaining healthy relationships. The interactive journal concludes with inmates crafting a change statement and identifying steps to maintain their momentum after the Challenge program has ended.
8. Drug Abuse History Journal: Inmates conduct a detailed self-assessment of their drug use history, using structured writing exercises to identify high-risk situations in which they used or were tempted to use. Participants explore the damaging consequences of drug use and they consider the consequences of their use on their responsible behavior, finances, health, relationships and freedom.
9. Recovery Journal: Defines the term “recovery maintenance” and elicits “here and now” examples of daily decisions inmates make to support their recovery. Inmates self-assess their strengths and learn the steps to recovery maintenance. Emphasis is placed on strategies to exit from the relapse process and the application of those strategies in building a recovery maintenance plan.
5. Seven Residential Journals-Bureau Responsibility and Values Enhancement Program (BRAVE)
The following interactive journals shall be in English for adult male prison inmates:
1. Orientation Journal: Introduces inmates to the three-phase structure and format of the BRAVE program, which is for young, first time offenders. Motivational enhancement and decisional-balance activities help inmates explore personal goals for changing. This journal emphasizes the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change’s early Stages of Change: Precontemplation, Contemplation and Preparation. The journal concludes by introducing positive attitudes for change, and how these are evaluated.
SECTION C RFPP0700NAS170973 PAGE 14 OF 43
2. Adjustment Journal: Addresses inmates’ personal reflections on the impact of incarceration, including personal losses and emotional reactions. This journal provides a comparative analysis of helpful and harmful ways of coping with the adjustment to incarceration, and introduces common thinking errors. Strengths-focused language and skill-building exercises help inmates create a plan for making personal changes and maintaining healthy relationships while in prison.
3. Rational Thinking Journal: Introduces the ABC model as used in Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy. Structured writing exercises help inmates explore Activating Events, Beliefs and Consequences, and particular emphasis is placed on inmate’s cognition through the introduction of common thinking errors as described by Albert Ellis.
