Clark County Community Corrections was established in 2002
under Indiana Code 11-12-2-2. Clark County Community Corrections
does not receive any funding from the Clark County government
and operate off of grant monies from the Indiana Department of
Corrections and funds collected from our clients. The Clark
County Community Corrections Program provides cost-effective,
evidence based treatment-focused alternative sentencing options
to the local Courts such as:
Day Reporting:
Target Population: Adults who are
either pre or post conviction, for a non-violent felony or
habitual misdemeanant offenders who have violated their
conditions of probation or who are out on bond.
Purpose: This program provides a level of supervision
rather than just releasing a person on their own recognizance or
as an alternative to probation.
Program Involvement:
1. Clients submit to initial and follow up “risk assessment” to
determine needs to be incorporated into their treatment plan.
2. Clients submit to random drug and alcohol testing at their
own cost.
3. Clients pay a monthly fee of $20.00.
4. Clients will report to Community Corrections staff, and will
follow a “step down” reporting schedule based on client
compliance with program rules though the duration of the
program.
5. Clients will follow the treatment plan recommendations made
by the Case Manager as outlined from the assessment (substance
abuse counseling, employment, education, cognitive behavior
programming, etc.).
Home Detention:
Target Population: Adults who are
either pre or post conviction, for a non-violent felony or
habitual misdemeanant. Clients can be referred as a term of
probation, direct placement, as a condition of bond or offenders
with medical conditions that are better served at a location
other than the Clark County Jail.
Purpose: This program provides an increased level of
supervision for those clients who have a higher risk of
re-offending or who need closer supervision than probation can
offer or at the recommendation of the Prosecutor or presiding
Judge. Client’s whereabouts will be monitored 24 hours per day,
7 days per week for the entirety of their participation through
the use of a GPS anklet.
Program Involvement:
1. Clients submit to initial and follow up “risk assessment”
to determine needs to be incorporated into their treatment plan.
2. Clients submit to random drug and alcohol testing at their
own cost.
3. Clients pay an initial fee of $100 and a daily fee of $12.00
(must pay initial fee and first week at intake $184).
4. Clients will report to Community Corrections staff as
directed, and will follow a rewards/sanction matrix based on
client’s compliance with program rules though the duration of
the program.
5. Clients will follow the treatment plan recommendations made
by the Home Detention Officer as outlined from the assessment
(substance abuse counseling, employment, education, cognitive
behavior programming, etc.).
Work Release:
Target Population: Adults who are
either pre or post conviction, for a non-violent felony or
habitual misdemeanant. Clients can be referred as a term of
probation, direct placement or as a condition of bond.

to determine needs to be incorporated into their treatment plan.

program rules though the duration of the program.

abuse counseling, employment, education, cognitive behavior
programming, etc.).
6. Clients are responsible for their own transportation, meals
and medical care while in the program.
COMMUNITY TRANSITION PROGRAM (CTP):
Target Population: Adults who are
currently in a facility operated by the Indiana Department of
Corrections (IDOC). This program is designed to allow these
persons the opportunity to serve the last 1-6 months (see below)
of their Court ordered sentence back in the community to allow
for a transition period prior to the commencement of their
probation/parole thereby making for a smoother transition from
prison back to the community.
Persons
convicted of a Class D Felony may serve up to the last 60 days
of their sentence.
Persons
convicted of a Class C Felony may serve up to the last 120 days
of their sentence.
Persons
convicted of a Class A or B Felony may serve up to the last 180
days of their sentence.
Program Involvement:
1. Clients submit to initial and follow up “risk assessment”
to determine needs to be incorporated into their treatment plan
2. Clients submit to random drug and alcohol testing at their
own cost.

the client’s fees).
4. Clients will live in the Work Release facility and are
allowed to leave for work and programming, and will follow a
rewards/sanction matrix based on client’s compliance with
program rules though the duration of the program.
5. Clients will follow the treatment plan recommendations made
by the Case Manager as outlined from the assessment (substance
abuse counseling, employment, education, cognitive behavior
programming, etc.).
6. Clients are responsible for their own transportation, meals
and medical care while in the program.
The purpose of the Community Corrections program is to assist
the Indiana Department of Correction in fulfilling its mission
by establishing and operating community corrections programs
that prevent crime while diverting low risk offenders from the
Indiana Department of Correction, and providing programs for
committed offenders and/or persons ordered to participate in
community corrections as a condition of probation. These
programs allow our clients to serve their Court ordered
sentences here locally in the community where they can work and
pay taxes and support their families instead of just occupying a
bed in the County Jail or the State’s Prison system at the tax
payers’ expense. We use evidence based practices to motivate our
clients to exhibit pro-social behavior and by addressing their
risks to re-offend try to reduce recidivism.
