Community Corrections

Alternatives to Incarceration

Community Corrections programs in Michigan provide rehabilitation-focused alternatives to prison for offenders at moderate to high risk of reoffending. By leveraging state grants and local collaboration, we aim to reduce recidivism and create safer communities through proactive support and supervision.

Reduce Prison Commitments

Lowering the number of offenders sent to prison through community-based diversion.

Increase Court Attendance

Utilizing pretrial supervision to ensure defendants meet all scheduled court dates.

Enhance Public Safety

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help offenders change thinking patterns and avoid new charges.

Program Effectiveness

Our programs are evaluated on rigorous state-mandared performance measures:

Court Integrity

Appearance Rates

Ensuring supervised defendants attend all scheduled hearings.

Public Safety

Pretrial Success

Minimizing new criminal charges during the supervision period.

Fiscal Compliance

Grant Accountability

Operating under SCAO grants with local advisory oversight.
