The Sentencing Advocacy Program at the Benedict Center will work in conjunction with the federal defender, public defender, children’s services, private defense counsel, and probation officers on a fee for service basis in constructing community sentencing plans. With the Benedict Center’s knowledge of correctional and community based facilities, Sentencing Program staff are able to present appropriate alternatives. This includes advocating for institutional programs and specific treatment programs that will address issues such as employment, educational programs, housing, counseling, victims services, and placement in a residential or out-patient supported living residence.
