The Community Corrections Center (CCC) is a “one stop shop” consisting of multiagency collaboration where offenders are provided with orientation related to their formal supervision requirements, assessment of their criminogenic and other needs, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and supervision in a coordinated fashion. Evidence based programming is utilized to facilitate successful reentry of offenders into the community after incarceration, and/or sentencing, in order to reduce recidivism.

A Mental Health Clinician is available five days a week to conduct assessments for offenders who have mental health issues and/or substance abuse addiction issues. The clinician provides the results of these assessments to the supervising probation officer and assists in referring the offender to the appropriate treatment programs in an effort to assist offenders in dealing with underlying issues that lead to criminality.
A Community Health Advocate is available to assist offenders in obtaining general aid, food stamps, and medical insurance. Most offenders are released from custody without the means to provide for themselves or their families. A Community Health Advocate can help offenders navigate the paperwork required for services. Offenders who are provided with monetary support and food are then free to work toward other goals, such as obtaining employment, without the need to resort to criminality.
A certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor is housed at the CCC and conducts assessments on offenders who may need substance abuse treatment. The counselor assesses for eligibility for drug Medi-Cal benefits through Partnership Health Plan. She makes direct referrals for residential treatment, sober living and outpatient services, as needed.
Community Service/Work Program
The Probation Department, in conjunction with Shasta County Superior Court, offers community service as an alternative to payment of some fines. Offenders receive monetary credit toward fines for each full 8-hour day worked through the Adult Work Program. Community service hours are also ordered by sentence of the Court or as a sanction by Probation staff.
Northern Valley Catholic Social Services
Participants Actions To Housing (PATH) is dedicated to assisting offenders with finding and keeping safe and affordable housing. They provide workshops aimed at teaching offenders in areas such as how to find safe and affordable housing, how to be a good tenant, and how to budget their income. They keep a current list of available housing resources and work with local landlords to develop more. Offenders who are compliant with their supervision can be evaluated for participation in the rent subsidy program aimed at assisting offenders with payment of rents and deposits, as well as some moving costs. Learn more about PATH in this story map.

Run through assistance from GEO Reentry Services, the Day Reporting Center (DRC) provides intensive services to offenders to address their top criminogenic needs in order to create lasting change in offender behavior, thereby reducing recidivism. The DRC is open seven days a week and offenders progress through three phases and aftercare in order to complete this program. View their most recent year-end report.
Victor Community Social Services (VCSS)
Aggression Replacement Training (ART) is a structured, evidence-based program designed to reduce aggressive behavior in offenders through three coordinated and integrated components: social skills, anger control and moral reasoning training. Social skills training teaches program participants what to do; helping them replace antisocial behaviors with positive alternatives. Anger control skills teach participants what not to do; helping them to respond to anger in a nonaggressive manner and rethink anger-provoking situations. The moral reasoning component helps increase participants' level of fairness, justice, and concern for the needs and rights of others. Probation referrals are largely determined by the offender’s primary criminogenic risk needs; coping/self-control skills, anti-social thinking and overall level of risk.
Shasta County Probation Department
The Supervised Own Recognizance Program (SOR) supervises select pre-sentenced offenders in order to reduce the burden of overcrowding at the jail, as well as increase the number of offenders appearing at court hearings. Offenders are screened using an evidence-based pre-release tool to determine appropriateness for the program. Some offenders are placed on GPS monitoring to assist with compliance while on the program. There are Probation staff working collaboratively inside the Shasta County Jail, as well as Probation staff at the Community Corrections Center who are assigned to supervise offenders in the SOR program.
There is one Compliance Officer housed at the CCC. This officer works with other probation officers and officers within the local law enforcement community to maintain consistent and regular personal contact with offenders on formal supervision and those on SOR with the goal of reinforcing accountability by focusing on those offenders who disregard their supervision and treatment requirements.
Shasta Technical Educational Program Unified Partnership (STEP-UP) is a collaborative effort between multiple agencies to provide offenders the opportunity to participate in one-year certification programs through Shasta College. A Probation Assistant, housed at the CCC, provides assistance and support to offenders in their successful transition to, and while attending, Shasta College.
The Successful Transitions on Probation and Parole (STOPP), is a monthly event, conducted by the Probation Department in conjunction with the California Department of Corrections, Parole Division, to provide access to treatment and services for those offenders being placed on formal probation, post release community supervision (PRCS), mandatory supervision (MS) and parole. Offenders being released from custody and under the supervision of either agency are required to attend this mandatory monthly meeting within 30 days of release to expose offenders to necessary treatment and services in one-location as quickly as possible. During the STOPP meeting, offenders are required to meet with a minimum of five service providers and sign up for a minimum of one treatment program or service. The community support for STOPP has been significant and this event allows offenders quick access to local treatment and services.

There is one officer housed at the CCC who is assigned to our “Striker” Caseload. This caseload is comprised of offenders with two designated “strike” offenses on their record. The intent of this caseload is to provide close supervision within the community coupled with the appropriate treatment and services to reduce recidivism and future lengthy prison commitments. A DRC liaison officer also works directly with the Day Reporting Center.
There is one officer housed at the CCC assigned to assist with offenders exiting prison on Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS). This PRCS Investigations Officer reviews cases and submits to CDCR the appropriate conditions of supervision to promote community safety and aid each offender in their successful re-entry into the community.
