The Lexington-Fayette County KY Community Corrections is overseen by the Fayette 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 600 Old Frankfort Cir Lexington, KY, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lexington-Fayette County KY Community Corrections - FAQs

County Community Corrections programs focus on alternatives to incarceration at the local level, offering supervision, rehabilitation, and reintegration services for offenders within the county. Unlike state-run community corrections, which often handle felony offenders transitioning from prison, county programs typically serve individuals sentenced by local courts, including those on probation, work release, or alternative sentencing programs. These programs aim to reduce jail overcrowding while supporting rehabilitation through structured supervision and services.

What is County Community Corrections?
County Community Corrections is a local-level program that provides supervised alternatives to incarceration, including probation, work release, electronic monitoring, and rehabilitation services, helping individuals reintegrate into society while maintaining community safety.
How does County Community Corrections differ from State Community Corrections?
County programs primarily serve offenders sentenced by local courts, focusing on short-term rehabilitation and alternatives to jail. State-run programs manage offenders released from prison, often providing more intensive reentry supervision for felony offenders.
Who qualifies for County Community Corrections?
Eligibility varies but typically includes non-violent offenders, those with misdemeanor or lower-level felony charges, and individuals approved for work release, electronic monitoring, or treatment-based sentencing alternatives.
What types of programs are offered?
Common programs include probation supervision, day reporting, work release, home detention, drug treatment programs, mental health services, community service, and educational support.
Can someone avoid jail time by participating in County Community Corrections?
Yes, courts may sentence individuals to alternative programs instead of incarceration, provided they meet eligibility criteria and comply with supervision requirements.
What is electronic monitoring, and how does it work?
Electronic monitoring, such as ankle bracelets, tracks an offender’s movements to ensure compliance with curfews and restrictions. Violations can result in sanctions or incarceration.
How does work release function in County Community Corrections?
Work release allows approved participants to maintain employment while serving their sentence, reporting to a supervised facility when not working. Wages may be used to pay fines, restitution, or support family obligations.
What happens if someone violates the conditions of their community corrections program?
Violations may result in warnings, increased supervision, removal from the program, or incarceration, depending on the severity of the infraction and court discretion.
Can participants leave the county while in Community Corrections?
Travel restrictions apply, and participants must obtain permission from their supervising officer before leaving the county. Unauthorized travel may result in violations.
Do participants have to pay for County Community Corrections programs?
Many programs require participants to pay fees for supervision, electronic monitoring, drug testing, and rehabilitation services, though some costs may be adjusted based on financial ability.
Is drug testing required for participants?
Yes, regular drug and alcohol testing is common, especially for individuals in treatment programs or probation. Failing a test may lead to increased supervision or termination from the program.
Can someone be placed in County Community Corrections instead of State Community Corrections?
Placement depends on sentencing decisions. Individuals with lower-level offenses are more likely to qualify for county-level programs, while state programs focus on those released from prison.
Are rehabilitation services available through County Community Corrections?
Yes, programs often include substance abuse treatment, mental health counseling, vocational training, and educational courses to support reintegration and reduce recidivism.
