What are the three primary ways that an individual might access referral to a halfway house program?

What will be an ideal response?


Individual offenders may be referred to a halfway house through a number of channels. Most commonly, individuals are granted conditional release and required to reside in a halfway house during the initial transition into the community. A smaller number of inmates are placed in halfway houses prior to the formal granting parole, during the first phase of release, and serve the remainder of their sentences while a resident there. Finally, an individual who violates the conditions of his release under parole or probation may be remanded to a halfway house or other form of community correction.
