CITY OF FAITH PROGRAM COMPONENTS
The City of Faith Community Corrections Center program is divided into three types of
components:
Community Corrections Component (CCC)
Residents in this component are confined to the facility except for job searches, employment,
church, and required aftercare meetings. Residents in this component are not allowed social
passes or weekend passes. In order for a resident in this component to go anywhere other than
work, or aftercare meeting, an approved request signed by either the resident’s Case Manager or
the Facility Director is required. Probation cases remain on CCC for the entire length of their
stay at the City of Faith, whereas those residents here as institutional transfers remain on CCC
for the first 15 days after their arrival. Residents who have not obtained employment within the
first 15 days of their stay at the City of Faith will remain on CCC. The CCC component is also
used as a sanction for violating certain rules and regulations of the program.
Pre-Release Status
The pre-release component is for those institutional transfer residents (residents who come from
the Bureau of Prisons) who have been at City of Faith 21 days and have obtained employment.
Being in the pre-release status normally allows the resident a little more freedom, such as social
passes (Wal-Mart, haircut, and church), weekend passes, etc. Residents in the pre-release
component are expected to be current on all conditions of the City of Faith program. This means
all personal aftercare obligations that were established by you and and your Federal Case
Manager in the individual program plan. These obligations include opening a savings account,
attending drug counseling, accountability, etc.
Home Confinement Component
The home confinement component is for those residents on pre-release status. These residents
are in the custody of the BOP and City of Faith. It is the responsibility of the City of Faith staff
to maintain proper documentation of the whereabouts of residents on home confinement at all
times. This means documenting all of the resident’s movements. This component is similar to
house arrest; the resident must make calls to City of Faith to inform the staff of their pre-
approved movements. Failure of a resident to report all movements will result in the termination
of the resident’s home confinement, and possibly the City of Faith’s program overall. Failure to
document any of the resident’s movements could result in the same. Home Confinement is a
privilege, not a right. Home Confinement residents do not pay subsistence but are still required
to submit their check stubs to the Program Manager within 48 hours of receiving the check.
CURFEW
City of Faith observes national curfew (9pm-6am). During these hours residents are not allowed
outside, in common areas, or out of the building unless given permission from their Federal Case
Manager or the Facility Director. Residents will be allowed to leave their dormitory areas
starting at 5am for chores. Residents leaving for work will be allowed to leave earlier as needed.
All residents not completing chores will be allowed to leave their dormitory areas starting at
6am.
DECORATIONS
Residents are not permitted to decorate their closets, lockers, or rooms with personal possessions,
such as pictures and /or posters.
DENTAL CARE
City of Faith provides dental care to each resident under the direction and supervision of a
licensed dentist in the area. Any fees incurred are the responsibility of the resident.
DISCRIMINATION
It is the policy of City of Faith to prohibit discrimination of any sort based on a resident’s race,
religion, national origin, sex, disability, or political views.
DISCIPLINE
City of Faith follows Federal Bureau of Prisons Program Statement 5270.09, Inmate Discipline
Program an all matters that concern inmate discipline.
INFORMAL DISCIPLINE RESOLUTION - City of Faith utilizes an informal resolution
system to resolve minor rule infractions. City of Faith believes that this form of resolution
should take place first and foremost, unless the rule violation dictates that formal resolution must
occur. City of Faith will expunge the incident report if informal resolution is accomplished from
the resident’s file. Staff may suspend disciplinary proceedings for a period not to exceed two
calendar weeks while informal resolution is undertaken and accomplished. If informal resolution
is unsuccessful, the disciplinary proceedings may be reinstated at the same stage they were
suspended.

VISITATION GUIDELINES
City of Faith does require a previously approved visitation list. Residents are free to visit
immediate family members or significant other named in their PSI as long as the following
guidelines are stringently adhered to:
1. Visitation hours are as follows:
Little Rock: on Saturdays (A-M) and Sundays (N-Z) from 1:00pm to 5:00pm.
Monroe: on Sundays 1:00pm to 5:00pm.
Should a resident desire to visit at a time other than the time specified above, he/she
should submit a request at least forty eight (48) hours in advance. Such request must be in
writing and is subject to the Director’s approval. The only exception being a resident
who is required to work during the regularly scheduled visitation hours noted above,
arrangements will be made to facilitate visitation at another time.
2. All visitors are required to have proper identification, which, in most instances, is a valid
driver’s license. Visitors must register at the front desk and along with providing the on-
duty security officer with proper identification, must provide the following:
A. Name and BOP register number of resident to be visited
B. Name, address and phone number
C. Relationship to resident
3. City of Faith may refuse to allow any person or persons the privilege of visiting a resident
for any of the following reasons:
A. Failing to provide proper identification.
B. Refusing to submit to a search if requested by the Director or her designee. A visit
is immediately terminated upon a visitor’s refusal to submit to such a search. A
staff member of the same sex will search a visitor who consents to a search. A
search may include a pat-down search of the visitor’s person as well as their
personal belongings and vehicle.
C. Arriving for a visit-intoxicated and/ or under the influence of a controlled
substance. The Director or her designee may make such determination.
D. Being in possession of a weapon and/or firearm.
4. A resident’s visit may be terminated for the following reasons:
A. A visitor refuses to comply with posted visitation rules.
B. A visitor’s conduct constitutes a violation of federal, state, parish, and/or city law
including but not limited to, assault, battery, disturbing the peace, introduction or
attempted introduction of contraband.
C. A disturbance occurs at the facility during visitation prompting the Director or her
designee to terminate visitation for safety reasons.
D. A visitor becomes boisterous, purposefully loud, uses profanity, and/ or fails to
show proper respect toward staff, resident’s and/ or other visitors.
5. An ex-felon who has not been finally discharged from an institution or from probation or
parole for more than two (2) years without an intervening criminal record or who has
pending criminal charges is not allowed to visit. Any exception is dependant upon the
Director’s approval.
6. A visitor is not allowed to visit a resident in his or her assigned room, laundry room, on
any property adjacent or in the vicinity of City of Faith, or any place designated as an
“Unauthorized Area”.
7. Children visiting residents are expected to be supervised and well behaved. Residents are
responsible for the behavior of the children visiting them. Failure by a resident to restrain
a child’s errant behavior may result in termination of visitation and the suspension of
such child’s privilege to visit.
8. Attorneys, their employees and law students in approved clinical programs may visit their
clients at any time during normal working hours (7:00 am- 4:00 PM, Monday through
Friday). A request for an attorney visit outside these times may be submitted to the
Director for her consideration. Except in emergency cases, visits by attorneys, their
employees and law students must be scheduled twenty four (24) hours in advance.
9. Privacy will be afforded to the degree that security permits when a resident visits with a
legal counsel or clergy. Under no circumstance will conversations be monitored.
10. Any person other than a resident’s legal or spiritual counsel may be denied the privilege
of visiting a resident who has had his visitation privileges suspended due to disciplinary
action.
11. A resident is only allowed 5 visitors at a time. This includes children. Once a visitor
leaves, they are not allowed to return during that visitation cycle.
