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.

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.
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 High Risk Transition Officer housed at the CCC. This officer is assigned offenders who are deemed high risk to reoffend based on our evidence-based risk assessment tool. The purpose of this transition caseload is to work closely with these offenders within the first 30 days of supervision to assist with successful re-entry into the community. This officer works closely with the other staff assigned to the CCC to create a treatment plan with the offender to assist in the successful transition to a supervision caseload.
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.
Prop 47, which reduced certain felonies to misdemeanors, including low-level drug and property claims, saved the State of California money. Sixty-five percent of those savings are set aside to administer grants through the Board of State and Community Corrections. In 2019, the Board of State and Community Corrections awarded Probation with a three year grant to work with those impacted by Proposition 47. The Community Engagement Program is designed to engage individuals arrested for misdemeanor charges who have substance use and/or mental health disorders, to connect them to rehabilitative and treatment services, provide support and education, and assist them in attending court hearings or meeting diversionary services. Probation contracts with Hill Country Care Center to provide case management to participants in the program and assists them in navigating local and state health and social services, linking them to treatment, housing, employment and education as needed with the goal of increasing engagement, preventing further criminal behavior, and increasing participation in rehabilitative services. The funding for this grant ends in December 2022. For additional information regarding Prop 47, please contact Carol Ulloa.
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.
