Preferred term

community corrections as an add-on to imprisonment  

Definition

  • Designed to make use of community resources to aid in integrating convicted offenders back into society, community-based corrections can include programs such as diversion or pretrial release. Although these methods are examples of community corrections used as an intermediate sanction or punishment alternative to imprisonment, many if not most others are used or implemented in addition to incarceration.
