Click on the post for the story in the Janesville Gazette today about the grant that the CJCC had submitted that found success and will form the building block for the jail alternatives program--or community RECAP.
The program as outlined in the article does seem to address the concerns of the community about these individuals being a threat to the safety of the community---all the participants will be non-violent, drug or alcohol and also first time offenders.
This program is intended to have an impact on the jail needs of Rock County. It is hoped that the lessed rate of incarceration will lead to a smaller cost of jail construction as I understand the program.
This is a developing story. Stay tuned to The Evansville Observer.
