The mission of the Michigan Offender Success Model is to reduce crime by implementing a seamless plan of services, supervision and opportunities developed with each offender and delivered through State and Regional collaboration with the ultimate goal of obtaining sustainable employment and self-sufficiency.

Vision

The vision of the Michigan Offender Success Model is that every offender released from prison will have the tools needed to succeed in the community and the opportunity to utilize those tools to be productive, self-sufficient citizens.

How is This Accomplished?

The mission is accomplished by targeting service provision to meet the identified needs of returning clients, thereby reducing their risk of recidivism and enhancing their employment opportunities.
