The United States Probation Office in Los Angeles is combining the actual and potential resources of restitution, reparation, and community service into two service delivery models. The Industry Corrections Interface (ICI) originated when several meat packing companies as well as their owners and executives were placed on probation. As part of the probation conditions, the offenders had to establish, fund, and help implement a training program to train hard-core, unemployed ex-offenders as meat packers. Another program, the Foundation for People, Inc., developed from the work of four white-collar offenders and others. This nonprofit public benefit corporation aims to provide vocational training, employment opportunities, information, and referral services to individuals who are on probation and to those who are economically or socially disadvantaged. Both these programs are ways of using the socially beneficial talents and resources of people and corporations on probation to develop and aid nonprofit corporations to implement the intentions of the court. Probation offices which choose not to institutionalize this approach can use such alternatives as matching probation clients with available public service agencies and establishing a referral service to the private sector agencies established for community service purposes.
