Offender Reformation

Offender Reformation:

Offenders should leave the justice system more capable of being positive, contributing members of the community than when they entered the system. Rather than simply receiving treatment and services aimed at suppressing problem behavior, offenders should take measurable steps toward becoming a positive citizen, and improving their ability to function as productive, responsible citizens.

The community must play an active role in assisting this growth by providing opportunities for the integration of offenders into the community as offenders take responsibility for their actions and seek to make amends.

Polk County Community Corrections utilizes a wide range of evidence based practices and programming, educational, skill building, treatment and intervention resources to assist offenders and their families.
