Community Corrections
Accountability without disconnection.
For many low-risk offenders, supervised community-based programmes are more effective than custody — preserving family ties, employment, and community trust.
Community Service Orders
Offenders complete supervised hours of service that benefit Jamaican communities — schools, public spaces, charities.
Curfew & Reporting
Structured curfews combined with regular reporting to probation officers, supporting accountability while preserving daily life.
Juvenile Diversion
Court-supervised programmes that divert eligible juveniles away from custody and into education, counselling, and skills development.
Working with the courts
Community corrections officers prepare reports for the courts and supervise individuals placed under community-based orders. Programme assignments are made by the court — DCS administers and monitors compliance.
