If you are inquiring about a CTP participants’ eligibility, DCCC receives referrals from Department of Corrections, when the inmate is eligible to be considered for CTP placement.  

Once DCCC receives the referral from the prison system, DCCC will begin the screening process. DCCC will reach out to the participant and conduct a phone interview in IDOC. Once this is completed, the file will be reviewed by the Screening Board for approval/denial. 

  • All CTP participants are required to be electronically monitored whether on Home Detention or in the Residential Work Facility.
  • They shall submit to all testing including urinalysis and pass all drug tests. 
  • They must also agree to abide by all program rules.  
  • They must have a cellular telephone or arrangements must be made to obtain one within a week of their arrival.
  • They will be required to pay a daily supervision fee (after 14 actual days on supervision) and pay for all drug tests. 
  • They will be required to find employment and work toward case plan goals.

Once eligibility has been determined, DCCC will contact the Courts and the prison system with the eligibility determination. 

If you have any further questions, you can email dccc@co.dekalb.in.us.
