The Tier III Program is a minimum 13-month program (390 days). If successful at each phase, you shall spend at least
sixty (60) days assigned to Phase 1; at least sixty (60) days assigned to Phase 2; at least ninety (90) days assigned to Phase
3; at least ninety (90) days assigned to Phase 4; and at least ninety (90) days assigned to Phase 5. Successful completion of
all phases will result in an offender being considered for transfer to the Tier III STEP program.
In accordance with Tier III Program SOP, each offender shall have an Offender Management Plan detailing the
requirements to progress through and complete each phase. The Offender Management Plan includes the following
standard requirements applicable to all offenders housed in the SMU and then specific recommendations applicable to
the individual offender. Offender Management Plans will be reviewed for compliance at each 60/90-day Review and
updated accordingly by the offender’s assigned Counselor. Again, successful completion of all phases will result in an
offender being considered for transfer to the Tier III STEP program.
Standard Requirements to be considered for transfer to the Tier III STEP program:
1. Comply with facility rules;
2. Exhibit positive behavior in the program;
3. Participate and complete the Offender O.U.T. Program and programming as recommended. If the offender cannot
complete programs due to no fault of the offender, then this requirement is not required; and
4. No Great or High Disciplinary Report within the previous 390 days.
