Program Overview. The SDP will be a three-phase progressive program for inmates serving a minimum of 9 months of SHU confinement (including consecutive sanctions that total at least 9 months) who would likely benefit from structured programming, including programming based on principles of cognitive behavioral therapy, to improve behavior and reduce future disciplinary infractions. Suitability and selection for the program will be determined in DOCCS’ discretion. Inmates will progress through the stages of the SDP, earning fewer restrictions and increased incentives, as they meet benchmarks and individual goals. Inmates will receive the incentives specified below for each phase of the Program, subject to the possibility of losing them for negative behavior. On successful program completion, inmates will be returned to general population, following a review for general population placement and programming to meet individually identified needs and behavioral plans by the Superintendent, who will forward his or her recommendations to the DOCCS Central Office for a final placement decision.
