Johnson's legacy is etched into the fabric of BJCC, as the facility bears his name in homage to his fervent advocacy for specialized rehabilitation initiatives.

Today, RTP continues to thrive within BJCC's confines, offering a holistic approach that intertwines physical training with cognitive behavioral therapy. With nearly 350 participants, RTP imparts crucial substance abuse treatment while instilling self-discipline, initiative, and motivation, all pivotal for the journey toward rehabilitation.

Beyond the renowned Regimented Treatment Program, BJCC hosts other specialized units tailored to address diverse needs within the incarcerated population. The Delayed Sentencing Program caters specifically to 18-22-year-olds who meet stringent statutory criteria, offering them an opportunity for intervention and redirection before formal sentencing ensues. Additionally, the Intermediate Revocation Program provides short-term incarceration for probation violators, offering a chance for reflection and rehabilitation.
