The Kalamazoo County Office of Community Corrections receives approximately 2 million dollars annually in community corrections funding from the State of Michigan, Office of Community Corrections. This funding is available through Public Act 511, the Community Corrections Act, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining programs that provide alternatives to incarceration. Programs and services are designed using a rehabilitative approach, with careful consideration for public safety. Community Corrections programming has been in place in Kalamazoo County since 1990.
