Carrol Warner, chief probation officer for the Seventh Judicial District, said CCI’s grant funding for the program fell to state budget cuts and its non-residential community corrections component has only five current cases. “That is not going to pay the bill,” Warner said.

Community Corrections, Inc. is a nonprofit that accepts commcorr clients. It has been a presence in Montrose for 11 years and its local office oversees day-reporting, electronic monitoring and non-residential supervision. It can also provide private probation supervision for low-risk cases, which, Warner said, is “extremely helpful.” Read more.
