A Community Corrections Order (CCO) is a sentence that can be imposed by a court in Victoria as an alternative to imprisonment for certain offences.

What happens if you breach a community correction order?

An offender who breaches a condition of a community correction order may be resentenced for the original offence and may face up to three months additional imprisonment for the breach.
If a court imposes a community correction order of six months or more, part of that time may be set as an intensive compliance period.

What is the Bureau of community corrections?

The Bureau of Community Corrections' (BCC) goal is to provide individuals with a safe opportunity to successfully reenter the community while assigned to a DOC operated/contracted facility.
Basic security measures are enforced for the protection and safety of all who enter the center and live in the BCC community.
