Recidivism – the tendency of a person convicted of a crime to reoffend. While the definition implies that recidivism is a solitary action, preventing it takes a group effort. In fact, studies show that providing participants with innovative tools and social support interventions is crucial when it comes to reducing recidivism rates. This is where community supervision agencies step in.
Agencies offer programs such as parole and probation, allowing participants to continue their daily routines while remaining accountable and under supervision. Because the goal of agencies is to rehabilitate their participants, these agencies have a unique opportunity to support and provide resources that facilitate healthy participant reentry into society. Technology and the criminal justice system have been slow to intersect, but, at Corrisoft, we grow increasingly excited as we watch our partners adopt and utilize technology to change lives. If your agency is having trouble finding the proper procedures and tools to help your supervision program succeed, let us guide you through the process!
Finding the right fit.
An essential part of community supervision programs is communication with participants. Effective communication facilitates access to support resources, maintains accountability and leads to lower rates of recidivism. However, agencies are not always equipped with the best technology to promote accessible communication, leading to barriers for both agents and their program participants. Finding tools that best serve the needs of community supervision agencies can be difficult. Clients have varying needs – Corrisoft’s AIR® program offers a solution to match.
