INDIANA - Jackson Jennings Community Corrections was recently awarded with a state Department of Corrections grant worth $627,600 that will be used to support the Home Detention Program and evidence based education and treatment programming for felony and misdemeanor offenders sentenced by courts in both counties. The grant is for one year and begins July 1. Officials say while serving a commitment to the Community Corrections program, offenders are required to abide by a daily schedule, pay daily fees to the program, maintain employment, pass drug screens, and attend courses of treatment that may be deemed necessary.
