ND State Penitentiary (NDSP) is a maximum security male prison for adults in Bismarck ND. The Behavioral Health Dept provides a wide array of services to those incarcerated in NDSP. We have anywhere from 750-800 inmates at any given time. All inmates enter through NDSP whre all the assessments are completed to determine appropriate programming needs to reduce risk. At NDSP we provide Substance Use Treatment Programming, Conflict Resolution Programming, Thinking for Change, Alternatives to Violence in Relationships Programming, and Sex Offender Treatment Programming. All of these programs are co-facilitated and offered in a group setting. We also provide individual counseling and crisis intervention services. The assigned counselors also assist with aftercare/ discharge arrangements for inmates being released from incarceration.
