I spoke with Matthew’s therapist and reviewed his current pause status following a positive screen. Matthew denies substance use and suggested a possible sample mix-up, but this was ruled out. He did not complete the DBT Chain Analysis as required due to his denial, so an alternative assignment was given. He will remain on pause until that assignment is finished. Matthew is eligible for a 5-hour pass this weekend, reduced from 8 hours due to a previous pass loss. I checked with probation officer Alissa Ricker, who agreed with the pass but denied permission for Matthew to get a rose tattoo on his hand, emphasizing that he needs to focus on himself and his relationship with his father. Alissa also requested that Megan be removed from Matthew’s contact list. I will continue to monitor Matthew’s progress on the alternative assignment and coordinate with probation regarding any further pass requests or behavioral concerns.

Hi Alissa, After being out for the past two weeks, I am currently working through a significant amount of catch-up. I wanted to provide you with an update on Matthew and get your input on a couple of items. I spoke with Matthew’s therapist earlier regarding the current pause and the required DBT Chain Analysis related to his recent positive screen. Matthew continues to deny use and has suggested the sample may have been mixed up; however, that would not be possible, as he was the only individual screened that afternoon. Per his therapist, Matthew did not complete the DBT Chain Analysis to the required standard, stating he was unable to do so due to his denial of use. As a result, she assigned him an alternative assignment. He will remain on pause status until that assignment is completed. At this time, Matthew is eligible for a 5-hour pass this weekend (it would have been an 8-hour pass had he not lost his previous pass). Before moving forward, I wanted to confirm that you are in agreement with him having this pass. Additionally, Matthew asked that I check with you regarding permission to get a rose tattoo on his hand. Please let me know your thoughts when you have a moment. -- Clint Wilson, MA, MSW, LSW  | Residential Supervisor Cottage 10 Josiah White’s | Residential Services 260-563-1158 260-563-1159 x2205 Whites-logo-full-color@2x.png [https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=d5594e14bd&attid=0.1&permmsgid=msg-f%3A1710900806814270328&th=17be573814180378&view=fimg&sz=s0-l75-ft&attbid=ANGjdJ8DOvpbmx2nenJ8PrSf2ZqAYbBvzvyMyZbTR7Ia0492vp14_zoyC4aQfJ7XEW8adscriyXfmM0HsK9lqtjCibOWnRC51cWa8ZBhVOAwsbdtN5S_3mUK4TVYO7o&disp=emb&realattid=ii_ktk9yh680] [https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/mail-sig/AIorK4zUkNRT866kynw9_M3LOSzhG7iYdUGb4ITzbEuW4JQ5gV5NotzXQfmnEgMHRUJelv8aOqlXjjd_WsVX] An accredited agency of the Teaching Family Association [data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=3D]
I am fine with whatever you guys want to do regarding passes. No, he cannot get a tattoo on his pass. He needs to focus on himself and his relationship with his father. Did you see that I asked for Megan to be taken off his list?

Hi Alissa,I agree on the tattoo, but had to pass the request along. I did check and made sure Megan was no longer approved for visits/calls and the change had been made. I am going to speak with his therapist and see where she is with a pass since she has been working with him more than I the last couple of weeks. On Mon, May 4, 2026 at 3:45 PM Alissa Ricker &lt;aricker@knoxcounty.in.gov&gt; wrote: I am fine with whatever you guys want to do regarding passes.
