Executive Summary
Community Programs Report
This report covers the time period from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. Data are reported in
sections by program type. Each section includes an executive summary and sub-sections on
workload, program outcomes and recommitment by program type as of June 30, 2009. Although
the historical data covered in this time period has been previously reported, this report is
intended to supersede The Community Corrections' Residential Offender Programs Report. Improvements in data collection, methodology and reporting format have allowed for the more
accurate and complete portrayal of the data.
There is a companion report, titled Substance Abuse Annual Report: Inmate Programs that uses the same format to detail substance abuse programs in state prisons.
