Memorandum of Understandingbetween the
North Carolina Department of Health and Human Servicesand the
North Carolina Department of Correction
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Appendices are entered byand between the Department of Health and Human Services and theDepartment of Correction for the purpose of developing a comprehensiveoffender management model that ensures public safety while addressingthe needs of offenders. Currently, the Division of Community Corrections(DCC), the Criminal Justice Partnership Program (CJPP) and the TreatmentAlternatives to Street Crime (TASC) Network are the primary resourcesinvolved in community corrections. The Division of Alcoholism andChemical Dependency Programs (DACDP) and Division of Prisons (DOP)impact community corrections through the release of offenders who havereceived services while in custody. The purpose of a comprehensiveoffender management model is to create a seamless system built on theideals of integrated service delivery and coordination of resources thatprovide effective interventions for offenders.
With DCC, CJPP, and TASC available under the community correctionsumbrella and a structured link with DACDP and DOP for transitioningoffenders, the Offender Management Model (OMM), as described in theAppendices, presents a systemic model for screening and assessingoffenders, matching them to the appropriate intervention(s) and managingtheir case plans. Utilizing the principles of effective interventions, we canreasonably assert that the OMM will be successful in modifying offenderbehavior. The objectives of the OMM are:
To create a seamless system of care for the provision of services tooffenders;
To clarify roles in providing control and treatment; To reduce the rate of revocation for technical and drug violations; To combine efforts to guarantee the effective utilization of limited
resources and prevent duplication; To provide cognitive behavioral interventions; To develop an integrated information system; and To ensure Probation, CJPP, DACDP, DOP and TASC staff are trained to
implement the OMM.
Objectives of OMMObjectives of OMM Seamless system of care for the provision of services to
offenders, improving access to treatment for justice clients
Clarify roles & responsibilities in providing control & treatment, eliminating duplication
Target limited resources to the right clients: Combine efforts to guarantee effective utilization of limited resources
with a team approach & shared decision-making Emphasize quality over quantity
Develop coordinated information systems
Ensure staff are trained to implement the OMM
Reduce rates of revocation for technical & drug violations, while increasing accountability & community safety
Increase efficiency & improve client outcomes

Balance the public’s expectation for protection, control & accountability with resources necessary to control & treat high-risk/high-need offenders
Strive for a balance between Control & Treatment based on offender risk & needs
•Manage risks by supervisory control•Manage needs through treatment collaboration
Prioritize resources based on offender risk & needs

U.S. prison, parole population sets record One in 32 Americans in jail or on parole in 2003
The Associated PressJuly 26, 2004WASHINGTON - A record 6.9 million adults were incarcerated or on probation or parole last year, nearly 131,000 more than in 2002, according to a Justice Department study.
Put another way, about 3.2 percent of the adult U.S. population, or 1 in 32 adults, were incarcerated or on probation or parole at the end of last year.
Why is Community Corrections Vital to the Criminal Justice
System? GOOD PUBLIC POLICY
PUBLIC SAFETY
PUBLIC HEALTH
SOUND ECONOMICS
THE RIGHT THING TO DO
Regardless of sentencing practices or laws, less than 1% of all incarcerated offenders will remain there for life.
Front end control & rational planning prior to release are essential for the 99% that remain in or return to our communities.

TASC … a Task IndeedTASC … a Task IndeedDamn, why am I here, I know I’m not an addict, Yeah, I smoke a little weed, but it’s just a small habit;I’m not alcoholic, I drink to ease the pain, So what I popped a few pills, snorted lines of cocaine;Hell no I’m not addicted, I could stop if I want, But I don’t right now, I’m having too much fun;They say I have a disease, I only use because I choose,Drugs are harmless, what’s wrong with a blunt and a few booze;Yeah I stole from a few people, but they had enough to share,I knew that it was wrong, but drugs helped me not to care;I feel a lot more stable being clean now but I don’t like it much,I keep thinking about the past things I’ve done and people I’ve wrongly touched;On the other hand, I’m relieved I can finally love again, I can see much more clearly, I found who are my real friends;I’ve regained trust from my family, they’re no longer ashamed, Telling people I’ve changed, before they wouldn’t mention my name;Matter of fact I like being drug free, I feel like I’m really alive, And I owe all to God and Treatment Alternatives to Street Crime.
