Why is This Important?

These residential community corrections facilities help offenders to reintegrate into society, receive supportive services, and build productive ties. Tracking the number of individuals served through the community corrections program is essential for understanding the effectiveness of this initiative.

What Does It Mean?

In Q3 2026, 412 individuals were served through the Community Corrections program. This is an increase from Q2 2026 where 377 individuals were served. The target for this measure increased for program year 2026 from 260 to 387. This occurred because the average number of individuals served in program year 2025 was 387 and was consistently outperforming the target of 260. The 412 individuals served in Q3 2026 exceeds the new target giving this measure a green status for Q3 2026.

Definition

Arapahoe County provides judicial services programs through the Community Resources Department. This department administers alternative sentencing programs for the 18th Judicial District and Arapahoe County courts. This means direct sentencing into a facility rather than time in jail, or placement into a facility upon release from prison. This measure tracks the number of unique individuals in residential community corrections facilities by type including transition, diversion, and condition of parole.
