Probationary Incentives for Educational Achievement and Stable Employment
During the 2022 Session, CCC successfully navigated the policy process to pass a graduated incentives system for individuals serving a misdemeanor probation sentence. The policy provides a 30-day reduction in the term of supervision for a probationer or offender in community control who completes a period of “workforce achievement.” Additionally, the policy provides a 60-day reduction in the term of supervision for a probationer or offender in community control who completes an educational advancement activity, such as obtaining a high school diploma, a high school equivalency degree, an academic degree, or a vocational certificate, during his or her term of supervision.
Fought to Deter Harassment
During the 2019 Legislative Session, CCC successfully lobbied to pass SB 828 for the Palm Beach County Sheriff to extend the crime of lewd or lascivious exhibition by a county detention facility inmate in the presence of a county detention facility employee. This legislation will provide County Detention Facilities an additional tool to deter sexually harassing inmate behavior, improving working conditions, especially for female employees.
