Corrections Officers: How do you identify incarcerated veterans in your facilities? Do you have programs that help you connect with them?

I was a correctionsl officer for 10 1/2 years at a (CM) close management facility in Florida. They had instituted a statewide program while I was there, in an effort to reduce recidivism. The re-entry program. It's focus was providing inmates with the common skills neccessary to achieve financial stability, prepare them to readjust to society, and prevent them from returning to prison. Only imates who had a year or less left in their sentence qualified for the program. The inmates in this program were housed in a seperate dorm than the rest of the population. They had their own recreation yard, and ate chow seperate from the general population as well. They took preparatory classes in their dorm. There was also a veterans program. They performed drill and flag duty for various ceremonies. They also were all housed in their own dormitory.

Very much something more institutions should look into. I worked on a documentary when I lived in Hawaii about substance abuse, and much of our work came from interviewing the district federal judge and homeless vets on this very issue.

My wife is a CO here in Texas, there are no recognition or separate programs she is aware of in this system.
Much like basic training individual identity is not observed or addressed. (individual needs yes)
