    Batterer’s Intervention Program

    Program Overview

    The Batterer’s Intervention Program is a series of 24 classes taught to male inmates in the Allegheny County Jail or in the community. The program uses the Duluth Model and is funded through a contract with the Allegheny County Jail. We work with the participants to understand the violence and abuse they have committed and how to change their behavior to prevent future occurrences.
