"legalalien" also wrote this response to Marisa's plea on behalf of illegal aliens who want to bypass federal immigration laws and be granted special benefits and privileges NOT rewarded to foreign nationals who play by the rules and obtain student visas to study in the U.S.

"Why not let students become "someone"?" Well, that's precisely the question that should be asked of the government of MEXICO for example. You see, Maritza, Mexico's world-class public university system, including the nobel prize producing National Autonomous University of Mexico is FREE to MEXICAN NAtionals like these illegal alien students. The fact is MEXICO has done nothing to disseminate or encourage the Mexican illegal immigrant students in the U.S. about the wonderful opportunties and rights that they have to pursue a college education in MEXICO for FREE. None of the 48 Consulates in the U.S. disseminate information on the public university system of Mexico...instead of doling out matricula consular cards, the Consulates should be assisting and counseling the families of illegal immigrant students on the process and paperwork required to register, enroll and be admitted to the FREE public university system in MEXICO. No one is denying any adult (that means any student who is 18 or older) the opportunity to pursue higher education...illegal aliens don't have a "right" to do so here...and shouldn't be snubbing their noses at the opportunities they DO have in their home countries including eligibility for scholarships, loans and grants. Shouldn't the MExican consulates be working with the middle school and high school guidance offices in the U.S. to assist the illegal immigrant Mexican students in making the right course selections and application and registration process for the universities in Mexico? Why isn't the MExican government encouraging these allegedly "best and brightest" kids to return to Mexico and study there? Why isn't La RAZA , LULAC or MALDEF or any of the other ethno-centric illegal immigrant advocacy groups assisting these students in pursuing the excellent and very affordable educational opportunities that these students have in MEXICO?

To reward illegal immigrant students with any kind of in-state tuition benefits, financial aid, and even admittance is to place illegal aliens and their families in a better position than hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals who come here to study via student visas each year.

Good catch greyparrot! Everyone is changing around names to fit their agendas for the North American Union. The SPP and NAU always refer to the America's as the Western Hemisphere.


With the traitors we have running the country, dont be surprised if you wake up one day and see our country renamed THE UNITED STATES OF THE AMERICA'S.

The mexican government is working with the CCA furnishing them information(see the below 2 websites) to educate their citizens (our ILLEGALS) and our United States Government is paying the mexican government via a contract with CCA for the PRIVLEDGE to educate mexican citizens. OUR TAX MONEY AT WORK!!!

"Basic Education in Spanish, offered through the government of Mexico http://www.inea.org/web/ppal/ and http://www.conevyt.org.mx/, is available at several CCA facilities across the country.

Inmate Programs
CCA understands that incarceration carries the responsibility of offender rehabilitation. Affording inmates the opportunity to develop necessary personal and social skills reduces the burden on both the criminal justice system and the taxpayers who fund it. Offenders in CCA institutions are offered programs designed to promote self-sufficiency and personal accountability.


Educational Services
Programs at CCA facilities offer a wide scope of academic, vocational, and life skills opportunities:

Academic Education programs address inmate needs ranging from functional non-readers and the developmentally disabled to degree-seeking college-level students. Programs are completely customized to each individual. Most students demonstrate dramatic gains in reading and math skills, advancing whole grade levels in months rather than years.

Vocational Education provides job training suitable for the abilities of both low and high-functioning inmates. CCA was the first corrections agency-public or private-to achieve accreditation by the National Center for Construction Education and Research, a nationally recognized authority in construction and maintenance training quality. CCA is also an authorized testing center for the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) program, a globally recognized exam based proficiency certification in Microsoft applications.

Life Skills Education emphasizes the importance of social responsibility and concentrates on parenting and family dynamics, cognitive skills, interpersonal skills, substance abuse education and employability.

Addictions Treatment and Behavioral Programs
CCA offers evidence-based addictions treatment programming in various modalities based on objective assessments and customer identified need.

Substance Abuse Education includes a variety of educational programs that provide an opportunity for inmates to understand the negative impact of substance abuse. A cognitive component associates changes in thought patterns to changes in behavior and decision-making.

Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program (RDAP) is a research-driven, evidence-based treatment model comprising the Transtheoretical Model of Change, Interactive Journaling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in a modified therapeutic community environment. RDAP, in the residential modality, is designed to be nine to twelve months in duration. RDAP is also offered in a less intensive outpatient modality 20 weeks in duration for those with lower levels of assessed need. Other modalities may be available as needed.

Continuing Quality - To ensure continued delivery of cutting-edge treatment programs, CCA has implemented the use of nationally recognized, research-driven objective measures. The Criminal Thinking Scales and supporting instruments measure individual, group and program outcomes. These tools ensure consistent program delivery, continued development, and implementation of "best practices" and staff development.
After (Continuing) Care emphasizes philosophies of various support groups, relapse prevention, and reentry skills. Controlled environments offer the opportunity to practice the skill sets learned and new habits acquired during the term of treatment.

Support Groups are offered to offenders who recognize a need for additional support to reinforce their personal recovery programs. These support groups include Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, faith-based programs, religious programs, Straight Ahead, and Thinking for a Change.

Faith-based Programs
Chaplain and Religious Services are provided at all CCA managed correctional facilities. All religious and faith-based programs are offered to the inmates on a voluntary basis and in adherence with the First Amendment and established policies and procedures. CCA actively recruits volunteers to provide religious services for inmates of all beliefs. Religious services and programs focus on the principles and knowledge needed to practice positive life changing values, attitudes and behaviors. CCA has developed partnerships with national and international faith-based ministries including: * Institute for Basic Life Principles

Purpose-Driven Ministry

Champions for Life

Wheels for the World

Child Evangelism Fellowship

School of Christ International

Prison Fellowship Ministry

Habitat for Humanity

These programs are operated in compliance with the Constitution, agencies religious policies and procedures, and emphasize social recovery with a focus on character development. All are voluntary, non-denominational and non-sectarian.

Industry
CCA's Inmate Programs Department (IPD) to develops secular work programs that offer inmates meaningful work and employment opportunities that enhance existing skill sets and teach new marketable skills. Equally significant, aquiring positive social skills and understanding principles related to career development and employment are integral components of IPD’s Prison Industries Enhancement (PIE) Program.

To achieve these objectives, CCA has implemented two models. The Prison Industry Enhancement Certified Program (PIECP), which has been designated by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) as a Cost Accounting Center (CAC) and Prison Industry Enhancement - Like Program (PIELP), or service industry program, that is undesignated. Approval and oversight of this program is not provided by BJA, but is provided by the State Department of Corrections.

Recreation
CCA views recreational time as an opportunity for structured improvement of self-esteem and social skills. Recreation may include but is not limited to:

Leisure activities

Intramurals

Board games, card games, billiards and bingo

Hobbies, including art, music, ceramics, photography and leather craft
