Female Offender Treatment and Employment Program (FOTEP)
The Female Offender Treatment and Employment Program is for women (with or without minor children) on active parole supervision. Enrollment requires a referral by an individual’s Agent of Record (AOR) through the Specialized Treatment for Optimized Programming (STOP) regional placement office.
The length of stay in FOTEP will be based on an individual assessment. FOTEP participants may be in the program for up to 15 months.
Incarcerated individuals should speak with the Parole Services Associate at their housing institution for referrals to post-release programs.
Individuals on active parole supervision should speak with their Agent of Record regarding appropriate placement.
Individuals on, or being released to, community supervision through Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS)/County Probation are not eligible for DRP’s programs.
