PROCESS FLOW: Clean Slate – child support issues
MDOC facility coordinators
receive a list of Offenders from
MTU (Ionia-Handlon) and
Jackson-Parnall facilities set to
Discharge within 30-90 days.
MDOC sends the Clean Slate
list with the offenders’:
• Name
• DOB
• Discharge date
via encrypted 7-Zip file email
to Amanda Heusted at OCS-
Central.
Amanda Heusted: (1) looks up
each offender to search for open
cases; (2) creates a spreadsheet
indicating open docket numbers
and county of jurisdiction; (3) e-
mails spreadsheet (encrypted)
back to MDOC facility
coordinators; (4) enters case note
in MiCSES.
Facility coordinators refer to FOC
Clean Slate contact list to arrange
date/time for offender-parent to
ask FOC questions.
Facility coordinators place speaker
phone call (free for inmate vs. 14
cents/min) to FOC contact.
• Facility coordinators may use
sample questions to help guide
the inmate-parent.
• Inmate-parent may have info
to provide about his release:
address, contact information,
employment, date of release,
PO.
Possibility of participating
in Transition Team meeting
for offender-parent in the
future. (by phone or in
person)

ACRONYMS and DEFINITIONS
ASAT- Advanced Substance Abuse Treatment- Advanced Substance Abuse Treatment (ASAT) is an
intensive outpatient program based in cognitive behavioral therapy provided to both men and women.
BV- Beyond Violence- Beyond Violence is an evidence-based curriculum for women with histories of
aggression and/or violence. It deals with the violence and trauma they have experienced, as well as the
violence they may have perpetrated. This four-level model of violence prevention considers the
complex interplay between individual, relationship, community, and societal factors. It addresses the
factors that put people at risk for experiencing and/or perpetrating violence.
COMPAS- Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternate Sanctions- As part of the
presentence investigation (PSI) process the investigating Probation Agent shall complete a scientifically
based assessment of the offender called a Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative
Sanctions (COMPAS). The COMPAS shall be completed during the PSI Agent’s interview with the
offender and is used by MDOC to determine the criminogenic needs of an offender that serve as
indicators of risk. A summary of the COMPAS information is included in the PSI report which guides
community programming and probation recommendations to the court. The goal is to help the offender
address and overcome those criminogenic needs to become a productive and crime free member of
society.
CSC – Criminal Sexual Conduct – Offenders who are convicted of a sexual crime and/or have to register
pursuant to the Michigan Sex Offender Registration ACT (SORA) fall under the CSC classification.
CFA- Correctional Facilities Administration- The Correctional Facilities Administration (CFA) is
responsible for the operation of the state's prisons, including the Special Alternative Incarceration
Facility (SAI). CFA has administrative offices in Lansing from which the Deputy Director oversees the
network of secure facilities. The network consists of two Assistant Deputy Directors who administer an
assigned group of wardens. At the local level, the wardens oversee the daily operations of the prisons.
CFA also manages several peripheral aspects of facility operation, including prisoner transportation and
classification.
EMS- Electronic Monitoring Services (tether, GPS)- EMS is a tool used by the Department to increase
the supervision of offenders effectively and cost-efficiently in the community. Differences in EMS
technology permit the monitoring of an offender in a way that will most likely impact his/her criminal
behavior; current technology includes curfew monitoring, community-based alcohol monitoring, and
global positioning system (GPS) monitoring.
FOA- Field Operations Administration- The Field Operations Administration (FOA) is responsible for
state parole and probation supervision as well as other methods of specialized supervision. While on
parole, a person is typically supervised by a parole agent for a period of one to four years. Probation
agents supervise persons convicted of certain misdemeanors and felonies to ensure they comply with a
court’s probation order. Unlike parole, conditions of probation are set by the court that retains legal
jurisdiction over the person’s status. The FOA also employs specialized supervision of persons including
the use of electronic monitoring, sex offender specific caseloads, veteran caseloads, mental health
caseloads, risk-based responses and incentives to technical parole violations in lieu of return to
Presentation 8/11/2022: Working with Parents Who Are Incarcerated in State Prison
2
incarceration and coordinating and overseeing offenders who are supervised under the Interstate
Compact Agreement.
GPS- Global Positioning System- In 2007, GPS technology was officially introduced as an electronic
monitoring option within the Department of Corrections. The device used for GPS monitoring is the
same device that is used for Curfew Monitoring. Its' current primary target population is specific paroled
sex offenders. This device records a person’s movement throughout the community and reports those
movements to a host computer. Department of Corrections field agents are required to review all GPS
maps and track the movement of the GPS classified persons for each day. The map review requirement
for GPS monitoring is very labor-intensive; therefore, these agents generally have smaller caseload sizes
which allow them to give greater attention to these cases.
HYTA- Holmes Youthful Trainee Act- HYTA applies to adult offenders that commit an eligible criminal
offense after age 17 but before his or her 26th birthday. Upon compliance with the terms and
conditions set by the court, the matter is dismissed as though it did not happen. An offense dismissed
pursuant to HYTA has the following features: the record is sealed by the court and by the Michigan State
Police, and the offender is not required to disclose the crime on a job or school application unless the
application specifically asks for details or history of cases that have been dismissed
In-Reach- In-Reach provides the link between a returning citizen’s time while incarcerated and the
outside world. Prisoners can be designated for In-Reach services by the parole board, which will look at
factors such as the prisoner’s risks and needs, including the need for stable housing upon parole. While
prisoners should be planning for their release throughout their term of incarceration, In-Reach is an
opportunity for designated cases to do intensive planning in the period immediately prior to release. In-
Reach staff meet with returning citizens to find appropriate post release placement, answer questions,
finalize case plans, and organize transition team meetings. Transition team meetings provide the
returning citizen an opportunity to meet virtually with their assigned parole/probation agent in the
community, as well as other Offender Success and Community partners there to ensure their success.
MDOC- Michigan Department of Corrections- All adults and juveniles sentenced as adults convicted of
offenses for which the statutory maximum is more than one year can be sentenced to the state's prison
system which is under the jurisdiction of the Michigan Department of Corrections. Most convicted
offenders are not, however, sent to prison. Instead, most are supervised locally through probation while
others are given a sentence of up to one year in a county jail. Probation supervision is provided by the
department and by various Circuit Courts. Qualified offenders may be sentenced to Specialized
Alternative Incarceration - a re-entry program that enhances their chances of success in the community -
as a condition of their probation. Convicted offenders who have served time in prison can be, if eligible,
paroled. Parole is a period of supervision in the community.
MiDVP- Michigan Domestic Violence Prevention Program- The Michigan Domestic Violence Prevention
(MiDVP) program is a comprehensive intervention program for men who batter. MiDVP incorporates
evidence-based practices and methods, including cognitive skills training, a trauma-informed approach,
Motivational Interviewing skills and Interactive Journaling.
MSAPP- Michigan Sex Abuse Prevention Program- MSAPP is a sex offender intervention which has been
designed to provide prisoners with skills to reduce the probability of sexual assault by assisting prisoners
in developing self-confidence and attitudes necessary to pursue an individualized good life. The
Presentation 8/11/2022: Working with Parents Who Are Incarcerated in State Prison
3
program anticipates that sex prisoners who complete treatment will be better equipped for healthier
functioning lives to meet their own basic needs, thus less likely to reoffend and create new victims. The
MSAPP model of intervention is based on the principles of Good Lives Model, Self-Regulation, Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy and Pathways to offending.
OSA- Offender Success Administration- The Offender Success Administration is housed within the
MDOC’s Executive Office and has staff at each prison in the state. Staff members include educators,
school staff, institutional parole agents, specialists and analysts that oversee various programs within
the prisons and contracted services in the community, parole release staff, vital documents staff, and
staff that focus on employment opportunities for individuals in the criminal justice system. The goal of
this diverse group of professionals is to foster change and success for those in prison, as well as those on
parole or probation.
OSAAs- Offender Success Administrative Agencies- OSA promotes success by partnering with
contracted and non-contracted local, state, and federal agencies called OSAAs to provide evidence-
based programming and services. OSAAs collaborate with area stakeholders, such as local landlords,
faith-based organizations, employers, health providers, and transportation companies to provide
housing, employment assistance and placement, health services, and supportive services to further
promote success, thereby reducing crime and recidivism.
PB- Parole Board- Created by statute, the Michigan Parole Board is a ten-member sole paroling
authority for felony offenders committed to the jurisdiction of the Michigan Department of Corrections.
The Board also acts in an advisory capacity to the Governor for all executive clemency matters. For
indeterminate sentences the minimum sentence is set by the judge and the maximum sentence is set by
statute. The Parole Board gains jurisdiction of a case when a prisoner has served the minimum sentence,
less any good time or disciplinary credits the prisoner may have earned. Prisoners serving life sentences
("lifers") are interviewed by the Board after they have served 10 years on their Life sentence. After that
initial interview, the Board is required to review each lifer case at five-year intervals. Prisoners serving
for first-degree murder may be released from prison only if they receive a pardon or a commutation
from the Governor. The Parole Board has the discretionary authority to parole other lifers once they
have served 10 or 15 years on their Life sentence (depending on the date of the offense) if the
sentencing judge does not object.
PIO- Parenting Inside Out- Parenting Inside Out (PIO) is an evidence-based, cognitive-behavioral parent
management skills training program created for incarcerated parents through a six-year collaboration of
scientists, policy makers, practitioners, and instructional designers. The PIO curriculum is an outcomes-
based program focused on helping parents promote healthy child adjustment, preventing child problem
behavior, and interrupting the cycle of inter-generational criminality. In PIO parents develop both
parenting and citizenship behaviors they can use in the rest-of-life, helping them guide their children
toward positive, constructive adult lives.
SAI- Special Alternative to Incarceration- The Special Alternative Incarceration program (SAI) began in
1988 as an alternative to prison for male probationers convicted of certain crimes and selected by
courts. In 1992 the program was expanded to include both male and female prisoners and
probationers. In 2014, the female population was moved to Women’s Huron Valley Correctional
Facility. State law precludes participation if convicted of a number of primarily assaultive crimes.
Presentation 8/11/2022: Working with Parents Who Are Incarcerated in State Prison
4
SAI is a regimented 90-day intensive program that focuses on changing negative behavior into socially
acceptable behavior. The paramilitary discipline portion of the program is designed to break down
antisocial attitudes, so staff can teach positive values and attitudes.
SPON- Special Problem Offender Notice- A SPON shall be issued whenever an offender is believed likely
to represent a genuine threat to the safety of an identified offender, volunteer or employee, including a
contractual employee, or to the order or security of a correctional facility. A SPON also shall be issued
whenever an offender will require protection from another offender due to a known conflict.
STG- Security Threat Group- A STG is a group of prisoners designated by the Director as possessing
common characteristics that distinguish themselves from other prisoners or groups of prisoners and
that, as an entity, pose a threat to staff or other prisoners or to the custody, safety and security of the
facility. (i.e., a gang)
T4C- Thinking for a Change- T4C is a cognitive behavioral therapy program for men who are
incarcerated. T4C uses a combination of approaches to increase prisoners’ awareness of themselves
and others. It integrates cognitive restructuring, social skills, and problem solving. The program begins
by teaching prisoners an introspective process for examining their ways of thinking and their feelings,
beliefs, and attitudes.
TAP- Transition Accountability Plan- This is the returning citizen’s case plan that spans from intake to
the community. The case plan is derived from the individual’s COMPAS risk/needs assessment to focus
on increasing success throughout incarceration to supervision in the community.
VPP- Violence Prevention Program- VPP is intended for men who have been convicted of at least one
offense which threatened or harmed someone physically. The purpose of the program is to show
people how they can lead their lives without using violence. VPP is based on the principles that violent
crime is learned behavior and is goal oriented. That violent behavior is linked to problematic issues
related to self-control, problem solving, communication, and conflict resolution skills.
