ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM; SUPERVISION UPON
COMPLETION (§ 53.1-67.9)

The Department is authorized to establish and maintain a system of residential
community corrections alternative facilities for probationers and parolees whose
identified risks and needs cannot be addressed by conventional probation or
parole supervision and who are committed to the Department under § 19.2-316.4.
The program shall include components for providing access to counseling,
substance abuse testing and treatment, remedial education, and career and
occupational assessment; providing assistance in securing and maintaining
employment; ensuring compliance with terms and conditions of probation or
parole; ensuring restitution and performance of community service; payment of
fines, if any, and costs of court; and providing other programs that will assist
the probationer or parolee in returning to society as a productive citizen. The
Department shall perform risk and needs assessments to establish a case plan for
each probationer or parolee determining the appropriate program components and
program duration for that probationer or parolee.
		Upon completion of the program, the probationer or parolee shall be released
from confinement and remain on probation or parole for a period of one year or
for such other longer period as may be specified by the sentencing court or
Parole Board. As a condition of such probation or parole following the community
corrections alternative component, a probationer&#8217;s or parolee&#8217;s
successful participation in employment, career and technical education, or other
educational or treatment programs may be required.
		Probation officers assigned to the program shall be authorized by the judges
of the circuit court of the county or city in which the position is assigned.
Any officer so appointed shall have the same powers and duties as specified in
§ 53.1-145, and such appointment shall be valid in any judicial circuit in the
Commonwealth.
