Specifically, sentenced inmates will have the opportunity to access educational, vocational and substance abuse programming while incarcerated.
Futhermore, it shall be the mission of the Sheriff's Office to provide comprehensive reentry and reintegration services, offering community based supervised programming such as work release, community service, and COAP, in addition to partnering with local service providers to establish a continuum of care upon release.
Additionally, the Sheriff's Office will emphasize the importance of early prevention, targeting at risk youth and offering programs such as the "FACE 2 FACE" drug prevention seminar and the "Scared Straight" program.
This mission statement will be accomplished by exercising prudent management over facility resources, implementing policies, procedures and practices which are in compliance with applicable laws and maintaining accreditation by the National Commission on Correctional Healthcare and the American Correctional Association.
