Community Corrections

Community Corrections works to address the characteristics of offenders that lead to recidivism. To that end, Community Corrections works with the following:

• Community groups
• Criminal justice system stakeholders
• Schools
• Rice County Social Services Department
• Victim services agencies
• Youth service agencies

As a Community Corrections Act county, it serves juvenile and adult probationers as well as offenders who are released from Minnesota prisons. The department takes an evidence-based approach to supervision, focusing our efforts on high-risk offenders and those with the most critical needs.

Vision, Mission & Values

Its vision is a safe, stable and vibrant community advanced through collaboration with:

• Community leaders
• Criminal justice system and human services partners
• Members of the public
• Service providers
