What is Community Corrections?

Community Corrections provides a sentencing alternative to being placed in jail or prison. We provide a means of supervising offenders while keeping the public safe.

The sentencing a person could receive may be, Home Detention, Adult Day Reporting or Community Service.

We conduct Case Management driven programs that will provide the tools an individual can use to lead a productive life, and become a contributing member of society.

Unlike jail or prison, the cost of Community Corrections is provided by a State Grant and user fees. Individuals who are sentenced to Community Corrections pay their own way.

In fiscal year 2010 to 2011 Henry County Community Corrections saved the State of Indiana and Henry County in particular over 1.6 million dollars! (The cost of incarceration)
