Re-Entry Facility

In 2006, with the support of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council and the Gallatin County Commissioners, the Gallatin County Re-Entry Program opened its doors.  

 

The Gallatin County Re-Entry Facility is a 40-bed combination pre-release center and structured living facility for offenders sentenced by the local courts. It operates pursuant to a cooperative agreement amongst the Department of Corrections, and Community, Counseling, and Correctional Services, Inc. (CCCS) which is a non-profit, 501-c (3) corporation headquartered in Butte, Montana.

 

CCCS provides services for local, state, and federal agencies including correctional and other human service programs designed for adults and juveniles.

 

The program is approximately six months long.

 

In 2021 after reviewing legislative changes to existing laws, the necessity for Gallatin County to continue to be involved in the Re-Entry facility operations became obsolete. Gallatin County worked with the Department of Corrections and Community, Counseling, Correctional Services (CCCS) Inc. to create a Novation agreement that transferred all responsibilities to CCCS. This Novation saved Gallatin County approximately $144,000.00 per year with minimal change to the process while continuing to provide these services to the Courts.
