Community Corrections oversee offenders outside of jail or prison and are administered by Correctional Officers. Which statement is accurate?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not applicable
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (B)

Community corrections supervise offenders who are living in the community, such as on probation or parole, under the oversight of the corrections system. The staff who manage these cases are typically probation officers, parole officers, or other community corrections professionals working for the correctional service. Correctional Officers, on the other hand, are mainly tied to custodial settings like prisons and jails, focusing on security and custody. Because the administration of community corrections is handled by probation/parole and related community-based staff—not by correctional officers—the statement is not accurate.
