PRE-RELEASE CENTERThe mission of the Missoula Pre-release Center (MPRC) is to provide a structured community based residential program for adult offenders that holds an offender accountable while providing opportunities to the offender to become productive and law abiding.During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, MPRC has continued to have difficulty increasing our male client population. Legislation was passed in 2023 that expanded the sentencing options for the Court and Department of Corrections for placement of offenders in a prerelease center. The Pre-Release Center is now a residential transitional facility for adult male and female inmates, parolees, and probation cases. This initially expanded the number of referrals being received by the Missoula Pre-release Center. However, a new screening procedure implemented by the Department of Corrections impacted referrals reducing the number of referrals received. The FY 25 ADP for male offenders was 48.5, a decrease from the ADP of 62.06 the previous yearDuring FY 25 there were 75 male offenders who left the program. Fifty Eight (58) successfully completed - 77.3%; fifteen (15) were revoked; one (1) walked away - 1.3%; one (1) voluntarily quit - 1.3%.MPRC has increased its female population to capacity with a lengthy waiting list of females who are ready to come to our facility but no beds to accommodate them. Our facility is not designed in a fashion that allows females to use empty male beds due to separation requirements.The FYI 25 ADP for female offenders was 22.36. This is an increase from the ADP of 19.83 the previous year. During FY 25 there were 28 female offenders who left the program. Twenty (20) successfully completed - 71%; seven (7) were revoded - 25%; one (1) walked away - 3.6%.MCS goal is return to full capacity of 117 total offenders. The ADP for the first six months of FY 26 is 74.57 for male offenders and 23.24 for female offenders, a substantial increase. MCS implemented some changes in its own screening procedure that has assisted in our efforts.
