*  Direct Basic Supervision

CSCD directly monitors and supervises offenders residing or working inside the Jim Wells County Jurisdiction to ensure they are in compliance with the conditions imposed by the Court of Law.

Four-Tiers Level Supervision is determined by case classification when the offender takes the risk/need assessment conducted by the Community Supervision Officer during the initial intakes.  The Community Supervision Officer reviews the result of the assessment and determines which level of supervision is recommended for an offender and how the case should be classified.  The level of supervision represents a degree of restrictive obligation an offender must perform when being supervised by an officer.

*  Intensive Probation Supervision

The Intensive Probation is a program designated as a sentencing alternative to incarceration in the TDCJ Institutional Division.  CSCD is staffed with few specialized caseload officers certified to handle a caseload indicating a severe dysfunction area in offender's profile.  Most of these caseloads are felony cases recommending a most restrictive supervision, therefore requiring specialized caseload officer to handle a minimum caseload as to have more time needed to supervise and help offenders along with rehabilitation.

This is specially for offenders who have history of substance abuses, serious assaultive behaviors, mental problems, and / or sexual offenses.
