The document introduces the scope of community corrections programs in Montgomery County. It discusses how the programs provide diversionary services for certain qualified felony offenders in lieu of incarceration. Offenders assessed as low or medium risk are eligible for referral to programs like drug court, pre-trial release, and domestic violence education. The community corrections department administers risk assessments and develops case plans for offenders. They must submit quarterly evaluation reports and annual plans for reimbursement from the state. Certain violent offenses automatically exclude offenders from eligibility, while other exclusions are based on criminal history factors like escape convictions or major disciplinary violations. Front-end referrals and probation violators may qualify but only some offenses are reimbursable by the state.
