Pretrial Program
The pretrial program allows offenders that are
unable to make bond an opportunity to be monitored or supervised by
community corrections until their initial court appearance. The pretrial
program provides an opportunity for early intervention for those
offenders that are substance abusers.
Front-End Diversion
Offenders that are nonviolent and that are not eliminated by statute may
be considered as candidates for being sentenced to St. Clair County
Community Corrections as an alternative to incarceration in an
Alabama Department of Corrections institution. If sentenced these
offenders are subject to strict supervision (i.e. maintaining
employment} curfew} GED classes} drug treatment classes} random drug
screening} etc.)
Institutional Diversion
Offenders that
meet criteria and are not eliminated by statute may be considered for
early release from an Alabama Department of Corrections and end sentence
in community corrections. Offenders in this category must meet the
approval of the District Attorney and the sentencing Judge. All
institutional diversions are placed on High Level Supervision (i.e.
frequent drug testing} electronic monitoring} GPS tracking} etc.)
