Community Corrections are sanctions imposed on convicted adults or adjudicated Juveniles that occur in a residential or community setting outside of jail or prison. The sanctions are enforced by agencies or courts with legal authority over the adult or juvenile offenders. These are run by corrections programs (www.crimesolutions.gov). In other words broken down it is a program based or sentencing options for non-violent criminal offenders. The correction programs may also assist to house defendants who have been committed to non-violent, or non-risk offenders and whom have severed only a short time sentence. Community corrections also insist of a non-monitoring of the offenders with electronic monitoring, or day reporting to even housed arrest. Community corrections affect and also minimize the amount of classed and rehabilitation of offenders. The recidivism rate is higher as community corrections affect the wants and need of the offenders corrective behaviors and with these programs, they make more profit when the offender cannot complete the programs which are put in place. In simple term they make profit off the failure of a host of people who enter into the community of corrections. In the long run this cost the taxpayers more money in paying for the repeat offenders in which the community corrections insist of them completing. The state is paid so much money per the housing of an inmate by the CCA then in return the state gets charge mainly half of the dollar amount combined in which the most states pay the DOC. When this occurs CCA lessen the amount of classes and rehabilitation the offender may receive. When this process comes in effect this makes the recidivism cost much higher, because this is what the CCA is based upon. In more word to be most understood this is also what the CCA want because, the more offenders return
