Pretrial Supervision
The Pretrial Supervision Program is intended to maintain public safety while allowing detained persons to be released from jail, pending pretrial Court hearings. Individuals awaiting trial or sentencing are many times given conditions to follow by the Court. Conditions may include drug testing, electronic home monitoring, no contact with alleged victim(s), etc. Individuals on the Pretrial Supervision Program will receive community-based supervision and have early access to resources as desired. Maximizing public safety and Court appearance are the primary goals of the program, with jail population reduction an additional benefit. Among other things, individuals on the Pretrial Supervision Program are expected to maintain contact with Community Corrections as directed, including face-to-face visits in the office and/or in the field.- Pretrial Agent:
Enhanced Supervision/Sex Offender Supervision/Supervised Release
Corrections Agents are responsible for providing probation and supervised release services to adults who are sentenced for misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, and felony level offenses. Individuals are placed in a continuum of supervision based on their assessed risk to public safety, criminogenic needs, individual treatment needs, and court-ordered supervision conditions.
Adults who are sentenced for a sex-related offense are assigned to a sex offender specific caseload. Individuals on supervision for a sex-related offense are considered high risk until they complete the primary portion of sex offender treatment. A majority of clients attend sex offender treatment through CORE Professional Services, which is held in our Staples, MN location. The clients’ agent co-facilitates treatment groups with a therapist from CORE. Occasionally, clients will obtain treatment through other providers and the agent will maintain regular contact with those programs. Enhanced Supervision consists of frequent face to face contact, case management, use of supplemental assessments, case planning, polygraphs and cognitive-behavioral interventions.
Corrections agents at all supervision levels are responsible for monitoring the compliance with Court-ordered conditions. To ensure this compliance agents may conduct random home visits, random drug/alcohol screening and make collateral contacts to family members, friends or other professionals working with the client.

Traditional Supervision
Traditional Supervision includes individuals who have been placed on probation and/or who are on supervised release. Clients who have been assessed medium risk are assigned to a corrections agent based on the city in which they reside. As with Enhanced Supervision, Traditional Supervision is based on risk to public safety, criminogenic needs, individual treatment needs, and court-ordered supervision conditions. These contacts may occur at the Community Corrections office, the client’s home, employment or in the community.- Traditional Supervision Agents: Alisha Robasse, Daniel Benning, Jim Miller
Group Reporting
Individuals who have been assessed low risk will be required to have contact with their corrections agent quarterly. Clients assigned to Group Supervision are placed on a reporting track for the calendar year according to last name. The agent meets individually with each client to review court orders, discuss any issues, and make necessary referrals to community-based programs.- Group Supervision Agents: Mark Rolloff, Alisha Robasse, Savanna Johnson, Shannon Suderman
