Curriculum

The curriculum consists of 21 Core Classes, and each class runs for 12 weeks in 2-hour sessions. Some classes are taught by volunteers from the community - many specialists in the topic. Other classes are taught or facilitated by inmate leaders who have completed the course and can offer guidance and insight to their peers.


  • Participants are required to take three classes each semester and attend weekly family and wing meetings and monthly community meetings. Celebration Sunday Services are voluntary.
  • Completion depends on the man’s availability, personal abilities, and aptitude but generally takes approximately 2 1/2 to 3 years.
  • Additional opportunities to grow are available, for example, Instructor and Leadership Training.
  • An assessment is done of each participant’s gifts, such as writing, art, managerial, administrative, and wherever possible, that gift is encouraged through particular assignments. For example, those with artistic talents will work on murals.
  • We work closely with Classifications, Education and the TIER Program to ensure the success of individuals.
  • The Xtreme SOULutions core curriculum was accredited in 2018 by the FDC clearinghouse.
  • Upon completion of all of our classes, FDC has agreed to note the participant’s graduation from the Xtreme SOULutions program on the FDC screen.

Over the years, we have trained and certified over 50 food handlers and 10 Food Managers through the National Food Safety Association. Certifications are valid for five years from the test date allowing men to walk out ready to go to work.

The Garden Project - an Agricultural Program

In 2022 we began a garden in an unused lot behind the Vocation Building.

Starting with 58 men, we prepared the ground, installed an irrigation system, germinated seeds, planted, nurtured and harvested a crop of vegetables. Some of the produce went to the kitchen at MCI and other items were donated to local homeless shelters and other outreach or community partners.
