~ul¥ 27~ 1993 The program is designed to provide supervision, treatment and rehabilitation services for non-violent, adult offenders. The concept of C.D.i. is to allow offenders to be placed back into the community in lieu of jail or penitentiary time. While in the community, these individuals are strictly supervised and must follow a rehabilitation/treatment plan. It is noteworthy to mention that the annual cost of incarceration in a prison is approximately $18,000 a year. However, through C.D.I., an offender can be supervised and given tailored rehabilitation for approximately $4,200 per year. I, therefore, reconunend approval of the program and the transfer of $122,300 from the Grants Contingency Account."
