Community-Based Sentencing

Community-Based Sentencing is an alternative approach to traditional incarceration, focusing on rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders within their communities. Instead of serving time in prison, individuals may receive sanctions such as probation, community service, or restorative justice programs. This method emphasizes accountability while allowing offenders to maintain family connections and employment. The goal is to reduce recidivism, improve public safety, and address the underlying issues that contribute to criminal behavior, fostering a more supportive and constructive response to crime within the community.
