Steuben County Council approved additional appropriations to the Community Corrections Community Transition Program (CTP) on Feb. 12 after a presentation by Brett Hays, Community Corrections Coordinator.
Hays said the program is a state‑funded reimbursement program that helps prison inmates transition back to work and society, typically by placing participants in work release and providing testing, counseling and other services. Participants who complete required services may be moved to home detention to serve remaining time; failed drug tests result in removal from the program and return to prison.
The council approved the requested appropriations (line items listed in the minutes) on a motion by Ken Shelton, seconded by Wil Howard; the motion carried with five ayes. Hays stated the funds come from the State as reimbursements and must be appropriated to cover expenses incurred administering the program.
No vote tallies beyond the unanimous five‑vote outcome were recorded and the minutes do not list additional conditions or reporting requirements.
