Justice Reinvestment and Supervision Practices
4. IMPLEMENT PROVEN PROGRAMS: Some programming is offered in
the community, but availability fluctuates by region
Programs do not
adhere to best
practices
Programs
based on
what works
Programs based on what
works and regularly
assessed for quality
CURRENT PRACTICE
The only programming
provided through probation is
at transitional centers like
BTC or Centre Inc., though
some offices are conducting
T4C pilots. There is limited
access available through
Human Service Centers or
private providers.
GOING FORWARD
Options should be explored that look at the ability for
community providers to adopt cognitive-behavioral programs
like Thinking for a Change
Examine whether probation and parole officers have the
capacity to offer groups in the probation offices
Identify opportunities to expand capacity with existing
providers
