At the Marion County OR Transition Center, inmates with good behavior have access to traditional jobs in the public sector during the day. The program offers varying degrees of freedom, some even allowing prisoners to work during the week and return home, serving their sentences on only weekends. Depending on the terms (which change from time to time), inmates may reside in a halfway house or under home confinement when not working. As they near their release date, residents may transition to reintegration programs, with potential offers of full-time employment upon full release.

Work release program initiatives have proven benefits, including increased employment opportunities post-release, accelerated job acquisition, higher post-release earnings, and reduced recidivism rates among participants. Marion Co TC is committed to empowering inmates with skills and opportunities for successful reentry into society.

The Transition Center, operating 24/7, serves as an intermediate sanction between Jail and Probation, offering minimum-security supervision. Residents are required to work, either at their own jobs or through community service, and fulfill financial obligations such as court fines, restitution, and supervision fees. In-house sanctions, like pass removal and room restriction, are imposed for non-compliance, while external sanctions may involve returning to court or program termination.

Key functions of the Transition Center include providing a sanction option for courts, an alternative to Jail, and an intervention tool for Parole and Probation. Additionally, it serves as an emergency population release valve for the Jail. The facility caters to sentenced offenders in categories including work release, court-sentenced individuals, and Probation/Parole violations, offering a transitional program to prepare inmates for community reintegration.

Within the Marion County Transition Center, the DeMuniz Resource Center operates, offering support and services to formerly incarcerated individuals striving to rebuild successful lives in the community. This integrated approach addresses both immediate sanctions and long-term reintegration, fostering positive outcomes for individuals transitioning out of incarceration.
