The goals of the CJPP (Criminal Justice Partnership Program) are to reduce recidivism, reduce <br />the number of probation revocations, reduce alcoholism and other drug dependencies among <br />offenders, and reduce the cost of incarceration. <br /> <br />The provider for CJPP in Cabarrus County, CARE (Carolina Addiction and Recovery <br />Environment), provides intensive outpatient substance abuse therapy and regular outpatient <br />therapy to intermediate-sentenced offenders only. The program is used primarily for offenders <br />convicted of drag offenses or where drugs were the primary motivators in committing the <br />offense. The program can last from 16 weeks (regular outpatient) to 9 months (intensive <br />outpatient) depending on the offender's progress. There is no cost to the offender and an <br />intermediate sanction must be imposed (i,e., special probation, EHA, Intensive, IMPACT). <br /> <br />Ninety-nine percent of all referrals to the CJPP in Cabarrus County during FY 2001-2002 came <br />from the courts and one percent from the Parole Commission and a total of 105 offenders were <br />provided services. The following chart illustrates the CJPP exits during FY 2001-2002. <br /> <br />27 12 13 8 12 <br /> <br />[] Successful Completions - 39% <br />[] Removed (inadequate performance) -17% <br />[] Probation Violations -Technical & Elect to Serve - 17% <br />I-IAbsconded Supervision - 12% <br /> <br />BOther - 17% * <br /> <br />**Other includes offenders that transferred from the program, inappropriate for the program, died, or had charges pending. <br /> <br />Due to state budgetary problems, Cabarms County is in danger of losing this valuable resource. <br />As the chart, above indicates, 39 percent of the exits for last year resulted in successful <br />completion of this program. <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br /> <br />
