The Genesee County, N.Y., program employes a variety of community-based alternatives to incarceration, including intensive probation supervision, house arrest, community service, restitution, reparation, and victim-offender reconciliation. Through community service sentencing, 800 offenders have been diverted from jail, and 118 nonprofit agencies have received over 80,000 hours of work. Offenders have set a face-to-face with the victims of armed robbery, attempted manslaughter, violent assault, and sodomy. In addition, 160 victims of violent crime have held their offenders accountable; over 50 percent recommended community-based sentencing instead of incarceration. Victim-directed sentencing in felony cases has resulted in a savings of over 65 years in prison days.
