"Illinois' Sheridan Correctional Center has created an intensive prison treatment program that one expert believes could be a national model, the Chicago Tribune reported on January 3.

Each week, Sheridan officials work with outside organizations to give inmates nearly 50 hours of drug and alcohol counseling and other therapy sessions, education, job training, and additional skills to prevent recidivism."
