Specialized caseloads are used as a primary strategy to
manage high risk and special needs offenders through the
intensification of supervision services. Specially trained
Community Corrections Officers supervise caseloads of 25 to
50 offenders who share similar problems, such as substance
abuse, mental impairments, language barriers, or compulsive
sexual behavior.
The
Grayson County CSCD provides the following specialized
caseloads:
ISP
Drug Court
Substance Abuse
Mental
Impairment / TCOOMI / MHMR
Non-English
Speaking
Sex Offender
Offenders
are court ordered to these caseloads for a minimum of
six months in some cases and a maximum time which is
established by the Court. The number of contacts with
offenders is more frequent than contacts with probationers
on regular supervision to ensure community safety, to
increase structure for the offender in order to promote
positive change, and, therefore, increase their success rate
on probation. Offenders on these caseloads are also brought
together with the resources that fit their needs such as
Texas Rehabilitation Commission, local MHMR, counseling,
literacy agencies, and treatment facilities.
