The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) offers a range of psychosocial rehabilitation programmes designed to foster cognitive development, support behavioural change, and promote successful reintegration into society.
These structured interventions equip offender clients with the tools to better understand themselves, improve interpersonal relationships, and make informed life decisions.
Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: A cognitive-behavioural intervention aimed at reshaping thought patterns to reduce antisocial behaviour and recidivism.
Fathering Behind Bars: This programme empowers incarcerated fathers to understand their roles, build emotional connections with their children, and prepare for post-release parenting.
Other Individual & Group Counselling Interventions: Address trauma, emotional regulation, anger management, and social skills.
These psychosocial interventions play a critical role in Jamaica’s broader rehabilitation framework, creating pathways for healing, responsibility, and successful community reintegration.
