Colorado Community Corrections Boards

• Colorado model centered on “Local Control” • Local Government Role ▫ Establish boards ▫ Administer state funds for community corrections ▫ Assure that providers are compliant with state

standards, local standards, and all levels of law ▫ Serve as initial regulatory agency in cases of

complaints from citizens, offenders, families, or crime victims

▫ Work with other aspects of local government to advance and facilitate community corrections programs

▫ Screen referrals for placement into halfway houses

6


Colorado Providers/Programs

• 31 residential facilities throughout the state ▫ Urban ▫ Rural

• Various forms of organizational structure ▫ For Profit ▫ Non Profit ▫ Local Government

Benefits of Residential Community Corrections • 24 hour supervision and surveillance • High structure in programming and supervision • Community-based placement allows for employment

and wide range of services for criminogenic needs • Offenders pay into restitution, child support, supervision

costs, and state/federal tax base • Cost Savings ▫ Half the cost (per day) of prison Prison = $70-$90 per day Halfway House - $42 per day

▫ Even lower cost than prison due to shorter length of stay Avg LOS in halfway house is 7 months Avg prison placement is roughly 2 years
