Community Transition

The purpose of the Community Transition Program is to facilitate the successful reintegration of offenders returning to the community.
 

The transition of offenders from incarceration to the community requires attention to relevant re-entry planning (i.e., appropriate housing, sustainable employment, reliable transportation, and positive social support systems) balanced against maintaining an appropriate level of supervision necessary to maintain public safety. The Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC) and the Courts have partnered to implement the Community Transition Program in accordance with Indiana Law to provide a variety of opportunities and case management services that will successfully link eligible offenders to available resources within the communities to which they will return. Offenders convicted of an A or B felony (if offense was committed before July 1, 2014), or a Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, or Level 4 felonies (if offense was committed on or after July 1, 2014) may serve up to 120 days prior to their EPRD on CTP if approved by court order through the sentencing court. Offenders convicted of an A or B felony (if offense was committed before July 1, 2014) or a Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4 felony (if offense was committed on or after July 1, 2014) under IC 35-48-4 and/or IC 16-42-19 may serve up to 180 days prior to their EPRD on CTP if approved by court order through the sentencing court. All charges under the current commitment period must fall under these Indiana Codes. B. Offenders convicted of a C felony (if offense was committed before July 1, 2014) or a Level 5 felony (if offense was committed on or after July 1, 2014) may serve up to 90 days prior to their EPRD on the CTP if a court order of denial is not entered by the sentencing court. Offenders convicted of a C felony (if offense was committed before July 1, 2014) or Level 5 felony (if offense was committed on or after July 1, 2014) under IC 35-48-4 and/or IC 16-42-19 may serve up to 120 days prior to their EPRD on CTP if a court order of denial is not entered by the sentencing court. All charges on the current commitment period must fall under these same Indiana Codes. C. Offenders convicted of a D felony (if offense was committed before July 1, 2014) or a Level 6 felony (if offense was committed on or after July 1, 2014) may serve up to 60 days prior to their EPRD on CTP if a court order of denial is not entered by the sentencing court. D. Offenders will have at least thirty (30) days remaining until their EPRD after the court’s consideration. E. The assigned CTPCD shall not affect facility transition programming, work release eligibility, or work release effective date.
