SOME RESULTS OF COMMUNITY SUPERVISION

Approximately 75 percent of our offenders successfully complete supervision each year. Last year, in our in-house services, 391 offenders received benefit of a substance abuse evaluation. Another 64 psychological screenings were conducted, and 108 anger management evaluations were conducted. Numerous other individuals received benefit of counseling services through outside contractors. In Fiscal Year 2003, we collected $487,468 in restitution that went to the victims of crime. A total of $636,699 in fines and $56,952 in attorney's fees was collected and remitted for the benefit of Brazos County. An additional $269,738 in court costs was collected, some of which benefits the County, with the remainder going to the State. Finally, $5,842 was collected and remitted for the benefit of our local Crime Stoppers program. Can we do a better job? You bet. We continually strive to improve our services, and welcome constructive suggestions from the community, as well as VOLUNTEERS! (Click to link to volunteer section.)
