COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS ALTERNATIVES (CCA) – Jail Diversion Options
Nationwide, jails are over crowded and increasingly costly. In addition they are becoming filled with individuals who also evidence significant mental health issues. CCA can help counties and municipalities by handling pre-trial detainees, community service candidates and night/weekend inmates who can be diverted to a CCA Cognitive Behavioral Program (or other option) at a fraction of the cost of incarceration. Many of our program options are based upon fees which are pre-paid by the offender rather than the Courts.
Our community-based program address’s criminal thinking that can help break the cycle of recidivism, alleviate jail crowding, improve public safety and cut costs. CCA programs are technologically advanced, smart, cost-effective, and easy to implement.
CCA engineers One-stop community-based programs to fit your needs.
