Sex Offender Treatment and Assessment
Approximately 20 percent of the inmates in Washington correctional facilities and 18 percent of individuals on community supervision are serving time for sexual crimes, making their management and treatment a major concern for the Department of Corrections (DOC) and the community. DOC and its partners have a comprehensive system consisting of confinement, treatment, supervision, notification and civil commitment whose ultimate goal is public safety. The three primary goals for the Sex Offender Treatment Program are: Help the inmate learn to reduce and manage their risk to reoffend. Provide information to aid DOC and the community to monitor and manage individuals more effectively. Remain accountable to the people of Washington State by routinely evaluating and aligning SOTAP with evidence based practices. Learn More about Sex Offender Treatment
