Description
Dismas involves families, faith-based institutions, employers, experienced staff, volunteers and other service organizations to create a structure and environment which supports succesful re-intergration. Dismas' programs are cost-effective. Community-based supervision costs taxpayers less then prison and jail confinements. In addition, community-based supervision allows offenders to work full time and pay child support, taxes, fines and restitution or to provide valued community service work
