The Division of Rehabilitative Programs (DRP) is a branch of the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation (CDCR) operating from headquarters located in Sacramento, California. DRP is at the heart of rehabilitation in CDCR. Its top priority is to provide rehabilitative programming and skills to offenders in an effort to reduce their likelihood of reoffending by the time they return to their homes and communities. Under DRP, there are three offices, working together, that provide services and operations to support rehabilitation.
The Office of Correctional Education (OCE) provides academic, vocational, and literacy programs within adult institutions.
See OCE
The Office of Program Operations (OPO) is broken into two separate units: In-Prison Programs (for offenders) and Community Reentry Programs (for parolees).
