The Hernando Correctional Institution, located in Florida, operates as a state prison with a maximum capacity of 431 male inmates. Catering primarily to adults, it serves as a Short Sentence Correctional Institution (SSCI), specifically designed for first-time offenders with short sentences. Emphasizing a community-oriented approach, the facility provides various opportunities for education, personal betterment, and assistance with substance abuse issues.

Central to Hernando's mission is its re-entry program, which aims to prepare inmates for successful integration back into society upon their release. Recognizing the challenges that individuals face post-incarceration, this program equips inmates with the necessary skills, knowledge, and support networks to navigate the complexities of reintegration effectively. By addressing educational, vocational, and behavioral needs, the re-entry program seeks to increase inmates' chances of a successful transition and reduce recidivism rates.

The institution offers a range of academic programs to inmates, including Adult Basic Education and General Education Development (GED) courses. These programs enable individuals to acquire fundamental literacy and numeracy skills, empowering them to pursue further education or employment opportunities upon release. Additionally, vocational programs such as Applied Information Technology and Heavy Equipment Operator training equip inmates with practical skills that are in demand in various industries, facilitating their re-entry into the workforce.

Chaplaincy services play a vital role in addressing the spiritual and emotional needs of inmates. Services such as Anger Management, Bible Studies, Celebrate Recovery, and Mentoring provide individuals with tools for personal growth and emotional resilience. The availability of resources like the Chapel Library and Religious Education further supports inmates in their spiritual development and moral rehabilitation.

Institutional Betterment Programs focus on enhancing inmates' overall well-being and life skills. CPR/First Aid training equips individuals with essential life-saving skills, while access to a Law Library and OSHA Course provides opportunities for legal education and occupational safety training. Parenting classes offer guidance and support to incarcerated parents, helping them maintain meaningful relationships with their children during and after incarceration.

Addressing substance abuse issues is a critical component of Hernando's rehabilitation efforts. Through specialized programs, inmates receive education, counseling, and support to overcome addiction and adopt healthier lifestyles. By addressing the root causes of substance abuse, these programs contribute to inmates' overall rehabilitation and reduce the likelihood of relapse upon re-entry into society.

The comprehensive reentry programs offered by Hernando encompass a variety of initiatives aimed at facilitating successful reintegration. From Compass 180, which provides holistic support and guidance, to Entrepreneurship & Small Business Class, which fosters entrepreneurial skills and economic empowerment, these programs address the diverse needs and aspirations of individuals preparing for release. Florida Ready to Work and Job Seeking Resources assist inmates in securing employment opportunities, while the Hunter Irrigation Class offers specialized vocational training in a high-demand field.

Pre-release assistance ensures that inmates are adequately prepared for the challenges they will face upon re-entering society. By providing practical guidance on navigating employment, housing, and social services, this program empowers individuals to make a smooth transition and build stable, productive lives post-release.

In conclusion, the Hernando Correctional Institution is committed to promoting rehabilitation, reintegration, and ultimately, the successful transition of inmates back into society.
