conditions of community corrections  

Definición

  • The main purpose of community-based correctional programs is to allow offenders to reside within their community and maintain daily responsibilities while serving out their punishment for the crimes committed, rather than removing offenders from society and placing them into a correctional institution. These programs often require the offender to abide by specific conditions while in the community in order to achieve three main goals: maintain public safety, reduce the likelihood of the offender violating the law, and allow the offender to improve his or her circumstances through educational training and treatment programs.
