Pueblo County has taken a significant step towards enhancing its community corrections services by approving a new five-year contract with Intervention Community Corrections Services (ICCS). This decision, made during the Board of County Commissioners meeting on August 12, 2025, aims to improve the supervision and rehabilitation of offenders within the county.
The contract, which follows a competitive proposal process, will provide comprehensive services including 24/7 supervision, evaluation, treatment for identified needs, and case management. The county received only one proposal, which was deemed satisfactory by correctional services. This contract is a renewal of previous agreements, with the initial contract authorized in July 2023 and a second renewal in July 2024.
In the past fiscal year, the community corrections program has shown promising results. The average residential population was approximately 99, with a non-residential population of about 23. Offenders at ICCS generated over $1 million in net income, contributing significantly to restitution and child support payments. The program also reported an average of 125 successful terminations, indicating effective rehabilitation efforts.
The approval of this contract is expected to further strengthen the county's approach to community corrections, ensuring that offenders receive the necessary support and supervision to reintegrate successfully into society. As Pueblo County moves forward, the focus will remain on enhancing these services to benefit both the offenders and the community at large.
