Specialized courts play a vital role in society. They provide strategic support for justice-involved individuals to help address the root causes of misconduct. By addressing these challenges, the courts’ goal is to reduce recidivism, which closely aligns with Corrisoft’s mission of providing an alternative to incarceration. Here is how Corrisoft supports specialized courts.
Directly addressing offender behaviors
According to the Community Oriented Policing Services, lack of or the inability to connect to resources is a major component of recidivism. This makes specialized courts a critical part of the rehabilitation and reentry process. Drug courts can connect participants with support groups and treatment programs. Mental health courts can provide individuals with professionals equipped to handle their specific needs.
These courts provide justice-impacted persons with individualized attention, providing resources and customized plans to increase successful program completion. While there are steps all participants must take in monitoring programs, not everyone’s journey will be the same. Individuals might be required to adhere to mandatory drug testing and counseling, but the frequency can vary from person to person. Some may benefit from groups like Alcoholics Anonymous or weekly meetings with a psychologist, while others might need support multiple times a week. Drug and mental health courts are there to help individuals find what works best for them.
Corrisoft supports courts, so courts can support participants
AIR® Mobile establishes a direct connection between supervisors and participants. Through the use of Corrisoft products, justice-impacted individuals have 24/7 access to reliable means of communication. No matter where that person goes, they are one click away from connecting with support.
There is no one-size-fits-all model for supporting justice-involved individuals. Each person requires a unique course of action, and Corrisoft’s AIR® Dashboard compiles all participant information — like real-time data, calendar appointments, meeting notes and program plans — in one, easy-to-access location. This is especially useful if someone other than a participant’s direct supervisor is tapped to assist in a situation.
The AIR® Supervisor App keeps monitoring officers connected to participants no matter where they are. Bonus — this offering is included with all AIR® products at no additional cost. Accessible from a phone or tablet, officers can execute their monitoring programs in the office or out in the field with no interruptions.
