Community Corrections Board

The state provides funds to the 17th Judicial District (Adams and Broomfield counties) for halfway houses to provide services to offenders. The Adams County Board of Commissioners appointed a Community Corrections Board that has the responsibility to:

• Monitor halfway house compliance to state standards and contract obligations
• Monitor the funds appropriated
• Negotiate and process contracts for services
• Review offender cases referred for community corrections placement

The Community Corrections Board has the authority to reject anyone for placement they determine to be a public safety risk. Not even a judge can sentence someone to a halfway house if the local board has not approved them. The program also has the right to refuse any individual they determine will be a risk to the public or their program.

Community Corrections Screening Committee

The Community Corrections Board appoints members to the subset Screening Committee. This committee, along with program provider representatives, are responsible for reviewing and voting on cases that meet the criteria that the board has determined require review by the committee and providers. The screening committee will review cases and vote to make recommendations on which offenders can be safely placed in the programs.
