What is the Back on Track Program
Back on Track, is a Problem-Solving Court aimed at reducing the recidivism rate of first time, low-level felony offenders, who do not require substance abuse services. Back on Track diverts defendants into a rigorous 12-18 month program that requires participants to plead guilty and participate in the program as a condition of probation.
It provides participants with an opportunity to make amends with the community and self-improve through a strict accountability program which includes home and employment checks, a significant community service component, life skills development, workforce training and job placement.
This non-traditional method of prosecution is designed to leave the Back on Track graduate with increased life management skills. After successful completion of the program, participants’ records are expunged.
