Sentenced - Felony - PA511 Charges

Alternative Incarceration Centers (AIC) offer a community-based, 24 hour-a-day supervised sentencing alternative for use by Circuit Court Judges. Individuals sentenced (for a non-violent felony offense) to an AIC must adhere to strict supervision and behavior standards, participate in various therapeutic interventions (e.g., substance abuse and/or mental health counseling), as well as financially contribute to their care once employed. AICs are encouraged to establish partnerships with community agencies to further assist offenders in meeting a multiple of needs.

Offenders are required to sign a Release of Information so that their Probation Agent can be apprised of their progress and status while in the program. Oakland County Pretrial & Justice Services uses facilities that are contracted through the Michigan Department of Corrections.

Eligibility

• Males and females, 17 years or older.
• Sentenced felony offenders who score moderate to high overall risk potential and / or score moderate or high substance abuse need score based on their COMPAS.
• Pretrial felony defendants who score moderate to high overall risk potential and / or score moderate or high substance abuse need score based on their COMPAS.
• AICs may be used as part of a structured sentence whereby the offender serves some jail time before being released to the program.
  • In these instances, program placement and transportation are coordinated by Pretrial & Justice Services with the individual program.
