Community Corrections
Community Corrections is a state and locally funded program based upon Michigan Community Corrections Act, Public Act 511 (PA 511) established in 1988 to encourage low-cost rehabilitative punishment programs as alternatives to jail or prison sentences for non-violent offenders. The goals of Public Act 511 are to reduce prison admissions for non-assaultive felons and improve the use of local jails, while maintaining public safety. Offenders selected for the programs are those who represent the greatest possibility for rehabilitation.
Although not the only solution, evidence indicates that individuals who successfully complete alternative sentences are able to turn their lives around. National statistics show that Community Correction participants are less likely to return to crime.
