Utah State Prison – Draper – ConQuest Program

The Con-Quest Program at the Utah State Prison has 400 Beds with 50 male residents per dorm. The Con-quest program is a residential substance abuse treatment program that lasts 12-18 months and usually is followed up by the aftercare program at the low security Lone Peak facility. While the intentions of this program started out good. Ultimately it has been corrupted and has become a way for DOC to manipulate the system and put more people at risk. Sadly those with good intentions at the BOP who want to make sure they are doing the right thing have no choice but to take their recommendations and just like anyone who wants to the right thing, still have a job to fight another battle, cover their own ass. DOC is FEAR TACTICS. DOC knows YOU are more valuable to them as STATE PROPERTY. They turn problems that could be relatively easy to solve into massive problems. Recently swine flu symptoms caused a quarantine of a section in promontory and quick test on 3 individuals showed negative results. Keep an eye out on this because Utah has had many stories throughout the valley of false negatives which later resulted in death. I wanted to keep my comments neutral and let you all come to your own conclusions but I can’t justify doing that anymore. Stay smart. Good Luck.    Read more...

Question by denveryay: How is it possible to absolutely categorize Alcoholim as a disease and not an illness?
“Disease” is a very loosely defined term in many respects. There are multiple disorders, infenctions, and symptoms that can be typical of a definable disease. Also, a disease must have specific and constant cause(s), which in the case of Alcoholism is the CHOICE to drink ethyl-alcohol. The cause of the “disease” is the recurring and disregarding CHOICE to drink. A choice, however pathological or illogical, doesn’t seem to be appropriate as a cause or a condition of any disease. Despite the negative psychological, physiological, and other results of long-term alcohol abuse, it seems that it shouldn’t be classified as anything more than a treatable mental disorder.    Read more...
