It is a multiple use facility (including pre-release, work-release, drug court sanction, detention, and re-entry) for adult male offenders. This facility has a 40-bed capacity to accommodate 30 male offenders from the Montana Department of Corrections and 10 Gallatin County male offenders.  It has 16.5 employees, with an estimated annual Payroll and Benefits of $400,000, and an estimated annual Purchases of Good and Services of $313,000.

Montana Women’s Prison And Passages (Pre-Release) – Montana Women’s Prison in Billings’ houses approximately 265 adult female offenders and has partial responsibility for 245 more. More than 90 percent of inmates at MWP are involved in educational or vocational programs and nearly all participate in a parenting program, staffed by volunteers, where they learn prenatal skills, infant care, adolescent behavior and more.

Carmel Redevelopment Corp. Re-Entry Program– Our vision is to make Missoula a welcoming community for previously incarcerated individuals who want to succeed, by enhancing their access to housing, jobs, treatment, social connections and relationships, and by working to change community practices, policies, misconceptions and stigma.
