CorrectTech for Residential Reentry

A Solution for "Halfway House", Work Release & Other Residential Community Corrections Agencies

Your Struggle is Real

Juggling all the demands, standards, requirements, and still having enough time to focus on client intervention is a common struggle for community corrections staff. CorrectTech provides solutions for every type of residential re-entry center, whether it be a county, state or federal program or a combination of all.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • The responsibility to keep the community safe
  • A lot of wasted effort keeping up with paper documentation, missing paperwork, duplicating efforts, filing and archiving client documents
  • Managing the myriad of services required to help the clients reintegrate successfully
  • Too much time spent entering and re-entering data or extracting data from multiple systems in order to meet your agency's stakeholder requirements
  • Feeling overwhelmed with the pressure of successful outcomes and better responses to rule violations
  • Several departments with a shared goal but different responsibilities that must work hand in hand
  • Trouble with seamless communication because the departments are using different databases, systems or worse yet, are still documenting everything on paper
  • Managing multiple and ever changing approved sign out requests, tracking a clients whereabouts in the community, keeping tabs on clients returning late to facility, house counts and who is not accounted for in the building or in the community
  • Ensuring compliance with different agency requirements for UA frequency, pat search frequency, breathalyzer frequency by different programs, risk level, location, etc.
  • Over testing and spending on drug tests for the wrong clients
  • Creating a case plan that meets the risk, need and responsivity models shown to be most effective
  • Finding creative ways to respond to client non-compliance with pressure to decrease/eliminate technical violations for non-criminal activity
  • Tracking treatment attendance, community service, education and vocational hours
  • Making responses to rule violations certain, swift, predictable and fair.
  • Trying to manage a rewards management system on paper/spreadsheets.
  • Managing a bulky paper file that takes too much time and effort to maintain and can't be accessed remotely
  • Having a single system that also does medications, accounting, billing, treatment, clinical treatment, aftercare, probation, pretrial - all in a single database.

CorrectTech solves all these problems and so much more.  

CorrectTech offers a comprehensive and advanced solution that automates all departments in one system! 

Working Remotely and/or with Multiple Locations

CorrectTech can be accessed remotely, making it easy to work from anywhere, home, work or on the road.  Until the spring of 2020 this ability to access every element of every client file has been highly valued for managers and staff who needed to review incident reports after hours, check on staff monitors, house counts, and clients signed out of the facility.  Now it has become essential for working remotely in the community corrections field.  Staff onsite can be in sync with staff working remotely using the same fully integrated system, with access to every bit of data about every client and every electronic "paper" file.

Other software systems may allow remote working and IF they have an electronic document tool - documents generated don't usually get automatically stored in the same location in every client electronic file. Why is this important? Every staff member always knows where to find an incident report, an intake summary, a contract.  The same organized document center enables case file audits that can only be done when everything is paperless in a unified way for every client. 

More than half the programs we surveyed say they are still maintaining a paper client file with pertinent documentation and information you can only access via a file cabinet.  CorrectTech has an electronic file and paperless office so staff is able to access everything they need remotely and continue to produce documents from anywhere allowing for digital signing and auto-filed.

For nearly every agency, there are required reports that depend on aggregate data over a month, quarter, year regarding every dimension of program operations. Our global data grids help agency's save enormous man hours and help innovate by providing access to hundreds of data views. How many ways will your agency benefit and innovate from having hundreds of YOUR data views at your fingertips?

CorrectTech helps our customers spend less time manually tracking and hunting down paper files and spend more time on what is important…. client intervention, best practices and reducing recidivism.

What can programs achieve when they have CorrectTech automation?
