Three men recently graduated from Nebraska State Penitentiary program, Thinking for a Change (T4C).

T4C student Kelle McCormick said, “It’s been great to learn the steps needed to make productive changes rather than counterproductive changes.”

Thinking for a Change is a high-level cognitive behavioral program developed by the National Institute of Corrections. The program uses role playing to concentrate on changing the criminogenic thinking of offenders and addresses attitudes, behavior, family, friends and aggression.

The T4C instructors were Secretary Michelle Decker, Supervisory Sergeant Dylan Eckery and Quality Assurance Specialist Russell Ogg.
