VII. Disassociated Offenders

Triggers:

Disassociated offenders are especially susceptible to triggers because they have no one to help them resist. Staff should attempt to gather as many details about each offender in order identify potential triggers for recidivism. Behavioral changes such as drug usage, traumatic events, anger/contempt, and missed appointments, should all be seen as signs that the offender may be attempting to retreat into seclusion and trouble. Staff should want offenders to come out and remain out of isolation and should view any of these events as steps in the wrong direction.
