The Community Corrections Center is a brand new facility at the Sullivan County Department of Corrections, which focuses on treating substance abuse. "Our goals are to move people back into their community and give them the supports they need and the guidance they need, and give them a platform where perhaps they'll be more productive in the community they live in," Superintendent Ross Cunningham told Newschannel 5. "A day in the life of an offender here would probably start in the a.m., very early. Probably 7 o'clock. It would be regimented by course work that they have to do during the course of the day, probably ending with a work shift." Inmates will either be sentenced directly to the center, or earn their way into the 90 day program with good behavior. At the center, inmates will be given jobs in the laundry room or as cleaners, teaching them productive skills for when they are released. Read More. |
