The CARA program, Criminogenic Addiction Recovery Academy, at the Kennebec County Correctional Facility was started in 2010 to address the criminal thinking associated with drug addiction. Participants in the program are habitual offenders and come from jails across the state. They are segregated from the general population and placed in their own unit for five-and-a-half weeks. They are expected to adhere to a strict set of rules and participate in extensive group therapy and class work that addresses the root of their substance abuse.
