The curriculum includes topics such as exploitation, human trafficking, and the real-life experiences of those affected by the sex trade. Completion of the program is often required to satisfy court conditions or to qualify for diversion from further legal action.

Who Needs a John School Program?
Individuals charged with soliciting sex or purchasing sexual services are often required to complete a John School Program as part of their legal obligations.

Individuals Charged with Soliciting Prostitution
Individuals who have been charged with soliciting prostitution or purchasing sexual services are primary candidates for the John School Program. This program helps them meet court requirements by providing education on the legal consequences and broader social impacts of their actions. Beyond fulfilling legal obligations, participants gain a clearer understanding of how solicitation contributes to exploitation and harms individuals involved in the commercial sex trade. The program supports their path toward accountability and reduces the risk of future offenses by promoting behavioral change.
Individuals Participating in Alternative Sentencing Programs
Individuals who are enrolled in diversion programs or receiving alternative sentencing for solicitation-related offenses are often required to complete the John School Program. These participants benefit from a structured, therapeutic educational experience that replaces more punitive outcomes like incarceration or fines. The program addresses harmful beliefs, explores decision-making patterns, and encourages lawful, respectful behavior. It fulfills sentencing requirements while equipping individuals with the insight, empathy, and behavioral strategies necessary to reduce recidivism and contribute to safer communities.
Individuals Referred by Probation or Parole Officers
Individuals under probation or parole supervision due to solicitation offenses may be referred to the John School Program as part of their compliance plan. These individuals often need targeted education and behavioral support to meet the conditions of their release. The program provides valuable insight into the personal and societal impact of their actions, while also reinforcing the importance of legal accountability. Through guided sessions, they develop healthier perspectives and coping strategies that help maintain long-term compliance and reduce the likelihood of reoffending.
Individuals Seeking Voluntary Intervention or Education
Individuals who recognize the risks associated with soliciting sex and seek voluntary support may also benefit from the John School Program. These participants are not necessarily involved in the legal system but wish to better understand the consequences of their behavior. The program offers education on the effects of commercial sex, the exploitation involved, and the personal factors that lead to solicitation. Voluntary engagement demonstrates a proactive commitment to change and allows individuals to make informed, responsible choices before legal consequences occur.
