The state does pay for the programs.  The only psychobabble is found in the christian and other god religions based on nothing except air and created solely by human scam artists to gain control over other humans.  More value and long lasting positive effects would be installing vocational and edcuational programs along with life training without the god babble.  The limited successes of these programs are always excused as if any individual success is the result of the program, when, in fact, the same prisoners would succeed once they make up their mind to do so without any god connections.
