Agenda Analysis

Analysis

 

This grant approves the first amendment to a Community Corrections Services grant from the Tennessee Department of Correction to the State Trial Courts to divert eligible offenders from the Tennessee prison system by providing community-based supervision and treatment services through the Davidson County Community Corrections Program.

 

The grant contract approved in Resolution No. RS2025-1352 funds the administration of the Davidson County Community Corrections Program.

 

The proposed amendment would replace a grant contract attachment that corrects the out-on-bond monthly home visit requirements in the community corrections supervision program standards from one home visit to zero home visits.
