Approval to accept grant award
Purpose:
The Adult Redeploy Illinois Program seeks to change the way the criminal justice system approaches
probation. The specific goal of the program is to keep people ordered to probation on probation, avoiding
the additional use of a prison sentence for a group that have been convicted of a probationable offense and
found suitable by a judge to be placed on probation.
Grant Amount:
$754,642
Grant Period:
October 1, 2013- June 30, 2014
Fiscal Impact:
None
Accounts:
9401302
Concurrences:
The Budget Department has received all requisite documents and determined the fiscal impact on
Cook County, if any.
Summary:
Cook County will use funds from the Adult Redeploy Illinois program to establish a continuum of local,
community-based sanctions and treatment alternatives for non-violent offenders who would otherwise be
incarcerated if those local services and sanctions were not available. Specifically, the Adult Redeploy
Illinois -funded program in Cook County will focus on probationers who violated their probation
requirements and who are at risk of returning to prison for that behavior.
