THE ALTERNATIVE TO INCARCERATION PROGRAMS CONSIST OF COMMUNITY SERVICE, RESTITUTION, REENTRY PROGRAM, AND THE COMMUNITY ACCOUNTABILITY BOARD(CAB). THIS RANGE OF SERVICES IS DESIGNED TO HOLD OFFENDERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS WHILE ALSO EASING THE BURDEN ON OVERCROWDED JAILS AND LOCAL COURTS AND PROVIDES CARING SUPPORT DESIGNED TO AVOID INCARCERATION. THE COMMUNITY SERVICE AND RESOLUTION PROGRAMS PROMOTE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF OFFENDERS WHO REPAY THE COMMUNITY THROUGH SERVICE TO APPROVED GOVERNMENT OR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.
