The following tables represent the needs determined by
Level of Supervision Inventory scores for community corrections
offenders in Colorado in FY 2008 (Table 1) as well as the
percent of services actually received (Table 2). Diversion
clients are individuals who are sent by the court to a community
corrections program instead of (“diverted from”)
prison whereas transition clients are individuals who are
returning (“transitioning”) from prison through
a community corrections program. Diversion individuals are
in the custody of probation whereas transition clients are
in the custody of the Department of Corrections.
