"The Association of Federal Defense Attorneys (AFDA) is presenting a free online CLE on May 25, 2011, 11:00 a.m. Central Time, entitled: “The Federal Bureau of Prisons: An Overview Of Drug Treatment (RDAP), Psychological And Medical Services For Inmates.” Anyone is welcome to attend. The program will consist of an informal, 60-90 minute presentation by Dr. Gareth Lasky, Dr. B. Carl Gordon, and Dr. George H. Saltzberg.
Dr. Lasky worked for the BOP for 22 years, during which time he served as the Chief Psychologist at FCI Ashland and Drug Abuse Program Coordinator at FCI-Sheridan. While in the BOP, he completed over 1500 Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program (RDAP) evaluations. Dr. Lasky will focus on the RDAP program during the seminar.
Dr. Gordon worked for the BOP for 25 years, during which time he served as a clinical psychologist, Drug Program Coordinator, and Chief Psychologist at FCI-Sheridan. He will focus on the Psychology Services department within the BOP facilities, including mental health screening and treatment.
Dr. Saltzberg retired from the BOP in 2005 after having served as the Clinical Director at FCI-Sheridan and FDC SeaTac. During the seminar, he will focus on medical services within the BOP, including medications and the process by which designations to federal medical facilities are made.
The program includes an online Question/Answer session where attendees may speak directly to the panelists, as well as post questions via a moderated chat room.
Apparently, the AFDA applied for CLE credit in California, but not in any other states. Thus, attendees seeking CLE credit in other states need to apply for it.
