Adult Community-Based Overview

Cornell is a leading provider of community-based services to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons and to a number of state corrections departments. Cornell offers a national presence with locations in many large urban areas, throughout the United States.

Cornell’s Adult Community-Based programs focus on transitioning offenders approaching release from a correctional facility back into society. Through education, employment training, treatment, monitoring and accountability, clients receive the necessary tools to make positive life choices that can reduce their likelihood of re-entry into the correctional system.

Community-Based corrections services involve the supervision of adult parolees and probationers. Services provided to parolees and probationers include
both residential residential care and counseling. We believe that our Adult Community-Based programs provide positive environments of care for both corrections and treatment clients.


As of December 31, 2008, Cornell operated 29 residential Community-Based facilities and 3 non-residential Community-Based programs with an aggregate service capacity of nearly 4,000. Services offered at our facilities include:
  • Minimum-security and open residential services
