The mission of the Community Service Work Program (CSWP) is to serve the citizens of North <br />Carolina by developing, promoting, and managing court ordered community service. <br /> <br />The Community Service Work Program is an alternative sentencing program designed for <br />offenders (both on supervised and unsupervised probation) to repay the community for damages <br />resulting from criminal acts. These offenders use their skills and abilities to successfully <br />perform free work for publie and non-profit agencies. <br /> <br />Effective January 1, 2002, a legislative mandate moved the CSWP from the Department of <br />Crime Control and Public Safety to the Department of Correction. <br /> <br />Three (3) Community Service Coordinators (caseworkers) handle all community service needs <br />within Judicial District 19A (Cabarrus County). Coordinators monitor a variety of case types: <br />unsupervised and supervised probation, deferred prosecution, and parole. <br /> <br />The following Community Service Work Program statistics are for the period July 1, 2002, <br />through June 30, 2003, for Judicial District 19A. <br /> <br />· Total Admissions- 2,646 <br /> Totals Closures - 2,348 <br /> % of successful closures - 72% <br /> Total hours worked- 53,030 <br />· Average Caseload of Coordinator- 288 (supervised and unsupervised) <br /> <br />During FY 2002-2003, the Community Service Work Program saved $273,104.50 to local public <br />non-profit agencies in Cabarrus County (total hours worked times minimum wage of $5.15). <br /> <br />There are approximately 60 recipient agencies (worksites) contracted within Judicial District <br />19A to stipervise the day-to-day work of the offenders. <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br /> <br />
