Many thanks to our criminal justice partner, the Georgia Department of Community Supervision (DCS), for its ongoing collaboration and commitment to public safety.
Recently, DCS leadership provided Georgia Parole Board Members with valuable updates and training on two important initiatives: the Day Reporting Center (DRC) Program and the M.O.R.E. (Max-Out Reentry) Program.
“These are important programs Georgia has implemented to help offenders be successful in their transition back to the community,” said Georgia Parole Board Executive Director Chris Barnett. “The Parole Board is proud to work closely with DCS and the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) to enhance public safety.”
The DRC Program provides an alternative sanctioning option for those under community supervision who are struggling with supervision requirements, but do not pose a threat to public safety. Through counseling, educational services, close supervision, and treatment to address substance use, mental health, and behavioral challenges, participants gain tools to succeed, while remaining under supervision.
The M.O.R.E. (Max-Out Reentry) Program helps prepare incarcerated individuals for a successful return to their communities. Parole-eligible offenders who have previously been denied parole may become eligible for reconsideration after successfully completing the program. M.O.R.E. is a collaborative effort between the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles, DCS, and GDC and is operated through the 13 Transitional Centers around the State.
