Overview

Under IC 11-12-2-2 Community Corrections falls under county government and is overseen by an Advisory Board. The Advisory Board meets on a regular basis and approves Community Corrections grants, budgets and policy and procedures. 

HEA 1068 requires the establishment of a local Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council (JRAC) that is responsible for promoting and utilizing evidence-based practices in community-based alternatives to incarceration. These functions have been combined into one board.
