General Visitation Information

Community corrections programs, also referred to as community supervision programs, oversee the majority of adults under correctional supervision, including those on probation or parole. Administered by agencies or courts with enforcement authority, these programs facilitate the transition of individuals back into the community post-incarceration, a process often fraught with challenges such as substance abuse and limited job opportunities. Rehabilitation and reentry support form integral aspects of these programs, aiming to address these hurdles. Corrections officials collaborate with community treatment organizations to tailor supervision and services to individuals' needs, facilitating successful reentry.

Digital technology presents community corrections officials with innovative tools to monitor individuals on probation or parole, aiding in their compliance and progress. Enhanced communication channels between supervisors and offenders are facilitated through smartphone-based video, text, or instant messaging. These technologies strengthen communication lines, enabling efficient supervision and ensuring individuals fulfill their legal obligations.

You must get approval before scheduling a visit, please call 256-350-0876 for detailed instructions.
