Mission and Values
The Mission of Alternatives, Inc....
Our
mission is to improve lives and further public safety by providing
offenders with firm, fair, consistent supervision and treatment that
challenges them to become responsible, productive citizens.
Philosophy and Purpose
Residential Programs
When
we think of corrections, we generally think of prisons and jails. In
reality, the greater number of felony offenders (more than 10,000) are
in Montana's communities either supervised by probation and parole
officers, or in community corrections facilities. It is the belief of
Alternatives that public safety is improved when prison inmates and
other offenders are reintroduced to the community through structured
programs that involve treatment services, assistance in locating
employment, 24-hour a day supervision, and case management.
Jail Alternatives
A
life of crime often begins at an early age with a relatively
insignificant offense. It is the belief of Alternatives, Inc. that the
effectiveness of a response to minor offenses may be the difference
between a productive life and one that develops into a cycle of
criminal behavior. By providing the judical system with a broad range
of alternatives to incarceration, Alternatives, Inc. strives to assure
early, effective intervention. |
