Re: Rehab programs
Whether the programs you've mentioned would be available for your son to participate in would likely depend upon the particular DOC facility which is selected for his "final destination".
Participation in and completion of one or more of these programs might increase his so-called accumulation of good time and therefore marginally reduce his incarceration time in the state penitentiary.(With the the elimination of parole in the Commonwealth back in 1995, prisoners in state facilities must serve on average around 88% or so of their sentences before being eligible for release.)
