Massachusetts S1481 modifies access to community corrections by altering pretrial services and intensive supervision with treatment programs.

Massachusetts S1481 revises provisions related to community corrections, particularly focusing on pretrial services and intensive supervision with treatment programs. The bill authorizes courts to order participation in pretrial services programs as an alternative to bail or as a condition of release, contingent on the person's consent. It also mandates victim notification when placing someone in a pretrial services program. Additionally, the bill allows the probation department to use community justice programs for probationers not sentenced to intensive supervision with treatment.
