Senior Psychologist Supervisor at California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
2nd Chance 2 Society for LWOPS was founded at Valley State Prison in 2023 by Dr. Sheri Rossi, Psy.D. to provide a safe therapeutic space for incarcerated individuals sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
V.S.P Mental Health Department
The Mental Health Department is committed to providing quality, comprehensive treatment to help V.S.P. residents better manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, thereby enriching their lives. This is achieved through various programs within the facility, such as the Enhanced Outpatient Program (EOP) and the Correctional Clinical Case Management System (CCCMS). Additionally, the Mental Health Department offers group sessions, like those run by 2C2S, as well as in-cell materials that address a range of mental health issues, including anger management, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and criminal or addictive thinking. All residents are offered these resources to support proactive coping skills and informed decision-making.
