This article evaluates a cognitive program at a state correctional institution. The program points to the benefits of cognitive skill development as inmates reflect on rejoining their families. Inmates are instructed on identifying problems, recognizing resources for solving problems, and thinking of alternative ways to respond as they apply principles of practical reasoning to everyday problems families experience. The development, implementation, and evaluation of the program and the implications for professionals and students are discussed.
