Starting programming while individuals are in-custody and transitioning to community-based programs upon release, facilitates consistency in treatment and promotes effectiveness in reducing recidivism.
The goal of evidence-based programming is to facilitate a successful transition to life at home, continue their treatment in the community, and maximize the impact of programs delivered to reduce recidivism. By assessing the risk and needs of individuals in jail or prison and delivering cognitive behavioral treatment programs while in-custody, the transition to a community-based program is seamless and behavior change is expedited.

Ravenhall Correctional Centre is redefining the role of prisons through the delivery of the GEO Continuum of Care services provided by The GEO Group. The Department of Justice in the State of Victoria, Australia awarded the project to design, build, finance, and manage Ravenhall Correctional Centre to the GEO Consortium in September 2014. The new Ravenhall Correctional Centre provides unprecedented levels of in-prison and post-release programs aimed at reducing recidivism and helping individuals reintegrate into society. The centre and GEO will have a unified commitment to providing new approaches to reducing recidivism. Key features of centre include a 75-bed Forensic Mental Health Unit and a 25-bed Close Supervision Unit, allowing for the safe and effective management of prisoners with mental health disorders and challenging behaviors; intensive evidence-based programs including the innovative use of in-cell IT-delivered programming; and collaborative partnerships with community based organizations to assist with the successful reintegration of individuals into society. Construction of the 1,300-bed facility began in early 2015 and was completed in late-2017.
