What Happens to Your Loved One at Clayton County CI: Programs and Work Opportunities

Clayton County CI offers a GED program through its open dormitory medium programs. If your loved one didn't finish high school - or needs that credential for future jobs and training - this is one of the main education options available.

Counseling is part of the open dormitory medium programs at Clayton County CI, with both individual and group options. Individual sessions let your loved one work through personal goals privately. Group settings build accountability and support around shared challenges. These counseling services tie into re-entry support at the facility. Re-entry is really the practical and emotional work of preparing to return to the community - making better decisions, building routines, and addressing patterns that can lead people back into trouble.
