Front end soluions reducing stress on number of incarcerated persons. Community correcions: any pre-sentencing services by the courts and the supervision of ofenders released on bail is located in the community (government program) Recommended that the use of community resources be increased but also recognized the role of non- government organizaions (i. e. elizabeth fry, john howard) in the treatment/supervision of released ofenders.
