Robeson County Offender Support 

ROBESON COUNTY OFFENDER SERVICES PROGRAM

 

Program Mission

 

The Offender Resource Center (ORC) mission is to provide an alternative sentencing plan for the Courts.  The plan is based upon the concept of Community Corrections.  The ORC provides for public safety through a structured environment, while addressing the offender’s needs, including substance abuse, from a central location in order to alter criminal behavior.


The Offender Resource Center’s screening and assessment is to facilitate the client’s entry into treatment services and to determine the level of substance abuse treatment that the client may need.
