CTF Soledad holds Friendly Feud game

March 18, 2025

Friendly Feud, based on the TV game show "Family Feud," was recently offered at CTF-Soledad.

Modeled after the popular TV show “Family Feud,” the Correctional Training Facility (CTF) at Soledad held their own version dubbed Friendly Feud.

The March 7 event was held in the Facility C gymnasium featuring four teams, each consisting of five members of staff and the incarcerated population.

The game followed the standard “Family Feud” rules with teams competing to identify the most popular answers to survey questions previously posed to 100 CTF staff and incarcerated individuals.

Before the game began, a member of the incarcerated population spoke about the benefits of the California Model. He said aspects of the California Model, such as normalization and dynamic security, have positively impacted his rehabilitation.

Correctional Sgt. R. Glaze was instrumental in organizing the event. Glaze handled everything from the audio/visual setup and the “Family Feud” software to formulating questions and recruiting volunteers.

The event was well-received, with participants and attendees appreciating the opportunity to interact in a constructive and relaxed setting.

“Today showcased the benefits of collaborative events in a correctional environment,” said Warden Edward J. Borla. These activities are integral to our ongoing efforts to implement the California Model, which aims to promote rehabilitation through positive reinforcement.”

Following the success of the CTF Friendly Feud, plans are in place to organize more California Model style events. Events such as these offer opportunities for engagement and development among the incarcerated population.
