Community Corrections to begin Pre‑Trial services in January; warns of potential state funding cuts
Summary
Community Corrections Director Michelle Callam said the department will start Pre‑Trial services in January 2026 and that a new state funding formula that could have cut about $292,000 over three years is currently on hold.
Michelle Callam, Community Corrections Director, gave the Board an update on program operations, technology and staffing, and warned of a potential funding shortfall tied to a new state formula.
Callam reviewed accomplishments including RePath, the client messaging system, and staffing and incident response figures. She said, "they will start Pre-Trial services in January 2026." Callam also noted a change to the state funding formula that would have resulted in a roughly $292,000 loss over the next three years, but she said that funding change has been put on hold.
Commissioners did not take action on funding at the meeting but heard that the program is preparing to launch pre-trial services in the new year.
