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.

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.
