Community Corrections Program Utilization • In FY 2009, there were 43,091 offenders enrolled into community corrections funded programs. • 27,228 Felons (Discharged: 85.5% Successful) • 15,863 Misdemeanants (Discharged: 85.5% Successful)
Impact on Prison Commitments • MDOC Statistical Reports indicate that in 1989 the prison commitment rate (PCR) was 34.7% (11,825 offenders) and decreased to 25% in the mid 1990’s and remained relatively stable through 2003. • During 2003, the Department placed renewed emphasis on the use of community corrections sanctions/services for specific offender populations. As a result, the rate steadily declined to 20.6% through FY 2005. • In FY 2006 the rate climbed back to 21.7% as a result of some highly publicized crimes earlier in the year. In the past few years the rated has steadily declined - 18.8% through FY 2009. • If the PCR in 2009 was similar to the 1989 PCR (34.7%), MDOC would have had incarcerated nearly 9,000 more offenders at a cost of well over $250 million.
