Community Corrections

Harney County Community Corrections is responsible for supervising adult criminal offenders sentenced to supervised probation by the Court or released to post-prison supervision from a correctional facility who reside in Harney County. Currently, we supervise approximately 55 offenders. We focus on public safety by holding offenders accountable for their behavior and working with them to make positive changes in their lives. We strive to reduce recidivism through a balance of supervision, services, and sanctions. Offenders are referred to necessary treatment including mental health and/or substance abuse treatment. Some of the sanctions used include electronic monitoring (GPS or SCRAM), community service, day reporting, intensive supervision, and jail.

All supervised offenders have what is referred to as general conditions of supervision. Offenders may also have special conditions set by the Court, Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision, or Local Supervisory Authority Board.
