Program Description:

The Community Offender Resource Program (C.O.R.P.), formerly known as PreTrial Release Resource Program, provides individuals awaiting trial and those on probation or parole with evidence-based programs that will impact their current situation and reduce the possibility of recidivism. Services include anger management, parenting skills, behavior modification, and Workplace Survival/Job Readiness courses. All courses are offered at no expense to the client. 

Who Can Refer?

District Court, Drug Court, Mental Health Court, Guilford County PreTrial Services, Probation\Parole Officers, District Attorneys, Public Defenders, Private Attorneys, and Self Referrals.

Target Population:
Adults 16 and up

Program Goals:

Since the program’s inception, the C.O.R.P. has significantly reduced the amount of time Guilford County PreTrial Services and the adult court system spends making arrangements for and managing cases of inmates who require multiple services. In return, the issue of jail overcrowding is addressed by a quicker turn-around time for inmates to be approved for pre-trial release thus freeing up jail space for more serious offenders. Pre-trial released inmates will receive services needed to address life issues that precipitated their criminal behavior while awaiting trial for their pending charges.

 

C.O.R.P. activities: (1) address functional problems associated with the client’s substance use disorder and/or cognitive problems; (2) are strength-based and focused on improving the quality of the client’s life; (3) focus on alleviating identified needs of the client and assisting with skill acquisition; and (4) develop, improve, or maintain natural pro-social supports and relationships in the client’s life, both formal and informal.
