COLORADO ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS BOARDS
**UNDER CONSTRUCTION**
​
Community Corrections is a system of local boards and programs that provide community placement and supervision as a cost-effective alternative to prison for individuals on parole or transitioning from prison. Each person admitted to community corrections must meet established criteria to be approved by an appointed board of local officials and citizens. Each of Colorado's 22 judicial districts have a board with contract with programs to provide rehabilitative services to their clients and to closely supervise and monitor their activities. Boards also undertake related duties including auditing of program performance and client outcomes.
Community Corrections Boards and programs were established by legislation and are accountable to the Colorado Legislature through the Division of Criminal Justice, Department of Public Safety. Public safety, rehabilitation of offenders and reduction of recidivism are primary goals of the community corrrections system. Community Corrections placement costs significantly less than incarceration while assuring public safety and preparing individuals for a crime-free lifestyle.
