Comprehensive
Community Corrections Act Program
The mission of the Comprehensive Community Corrections
Act Program is to provide sentencing alternatives to the judiciary and the
local criminal justice system in an effort to reduce jail overcrowding,
enhance public safety, and offer remedial and rehabilitative
opportunities to local offender populations.
Pretrial
Services Act Program
The mission of
the Pretrial Services Act Program is to reduce
jail overcrowding caused by the detention of pretrial defendants, assist
the courts in making better informed bond decisions, and enhance public
safety through the evaluation and supervision of pretrial detainees.
Southside Community Corrections and Pretrial Services (SCC)
is an agency consisting of five staff members and a director that provides
Comprehensive Community Corrections Act (CCCA) services as well as
Pretrial Services Act (PSA) functions. The Pretrial Program Service
Model is "Pretrial Interview/Investigation for First
Appearance/Arraignment." The
central office is located in Emporia, Virginia with three satellite
offices located in the Sussex, Lawrenceville, and Greensville/Emporia
Courthouses. The combined population of the service area including the
Counties of Brunswick, Greensville, and Sussex as well as the City of Emporia is 43,900 (1998
Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service). The area occupies 1366 square
miles (1990 U.S. Census Bureau).
Southside Community Corrections operates on the concept
of "restorative justice" which attempts to compel offenders to
pay back either society at large or the victim. If the offender is
sentenced to jail, society continues to be "offended" by the
cost of incarceration, and the victim never receives compensation for
losses. In this model, SCC provides a wide range of choices in
sentencing for the Judges of the Sixth Judicial District short of
incarceration. The offenders sentenced to alternative forms of
punishment are the target population of this effort. The alternatives
currently in place and operating include, but are not limited to,
Community Service, Restitution, Anger Management, Shoplifters
Intervention, and Mental Health.
This office supervises any sentence that does not easily fit into a
particular category that a Judge considers appropriate as well.
Substance Abuse Education and Counseling is provided in conjunction with
both the Southside Community Services Board and the District 19
Community Services Board.
Persons arrested by Law
Enforcement in these areas and unable to pay the bond set for their
release while awaiting trial are the target population (customers) that
use the pretrial services provided by this office. This office has the
goal of insuring that those non-violent offenders who do not pose a
threat to public safety are released to supervision and then await their
trial in the community.
The main office constructed in 2001, is a 2500 square foot facility, located in the Greensville County Government Complex at 201 Uriah Branch Way, Emporia, VA 23847.
