What Programs Are Available at Pike County Correctional Facility? (H.O.P.E., A.R.R.O.W., M.O.R.E.)

Pike County Correctional Facility provides educational, religious, and rehabilitative programs to help people reintegrate into society. For families supporting someone inside, these programs are where day-to-day progress happens - learning new skills, building routines, and working toward healthier choices that carry over after release.

The H.O.P.E. Program (Helping Offenders Promote Excellence) is available to women housed at Pike County Correctional Facility. If your loved one is eligible and interested, ask staff how participation works and what steps she needs to take to get considered.

A.R.R.O.W. (Actively Reducing Recidivism Opens Windows) is an intensive rehabilitative program for qualified male offenders at Pike County. "Qualified" means there are eligibility requirements - though they aren't spelled out publicly. If your loved one is a man looking for a more structured, higher-intensity program, A.R.R.O.W. is the one to ask about by name.

M.O.R.E. (Motivating Offenders to Reintegrate Effectively) is open to all male offenders interested in making positive changes. If your loved one doesn't meet the eligibility requirements for A.R.R.O.W. - or just wants a program that's broadly accessible - M.O.R.E. is worth asking about.

1. Ask your loved one what they’ve been offered - They may already have information from staff about what programs are currently running and whether they can sign up.
2. Call the facility to confirm eligibility and enrollment - Ask specifically about H.O.P.E., A.R.R.O.W., and M.O.R.E., and what someone has to do to be considered or added to a list.
3. Request the practical details - Get the current schedule, how long the program lasts, whether there are waitlists, and whether participation depends on housing status or classification.
4. Check back if you don’t get a clear answer the first time - Program availability and enrollment can change, and different staff may point you to different offices or coordinators.
