The DeKalb County IN Community Corrections is overseen by the DeKalb Sheriff's Department and consists of six community-based programs that supervise both pre-sentenced and post-sentenced offenders, prioritizing public safety and cost-effective alternatives to incarceration. Working in collaboration with the County's Work Release Center, located at 215 E Ninth St Auburn, IN, and other criminal justice agencies, the division oversees thousands of offenders in the community.

A Community Corrections Facility is a structured, supportive environment designed for low-risk offenders and those nearing the end of their sentences, with a primary goal of rehabilitation and successful reintegration into society. Unlike traditional high-security prisons, these facilities offer programs that focus on personal development, employment skills, and behavioral health, addressing the needs of individuals through targeted support. Common offerings include substance abuse treatment, cognitive-behavioral therapy, anger management, and vocational training, equipping residents with tools to overcome personal challenges and establish constructive habits.

Many Community Corrections facilities also feature work release programs, allowing individuals to work outside during the day and return in the evening, fostering a sense of responsibility and aiding the transition back into the community. Security is maintained through a combination of supervision and strict adherence to facility rules, ensuring a safe and structured environment. By promoting accountability and providing practical resources, Community Corrections facilities play a vital role in reducing recidivism, supporting public safety, and empowering residents to make positive, lasting changes in their lives.
