The Pima County Attorney’s Office created the
Adult Diversion Program nearly 25 years ago. The programs
goal is to offer first time offenders the opportunity
for rehabilitation
instead of prosecution.
The Program diverts defendants from prosecution
if they are willing to take responsibility for their
actions; make full restitution to their victims ;
and complete counseling and /or community service
work. If they successfully complete the program,
charges are dismissed.
Diversion
provides defendants the opportunity
to make significant behavioral changes. Failure
to complete diversion results in resumption of
prosecution.
Goals:
- Evaluating
defendants to determine the most beneficial rehabilitation
program.
- Offering
training and rehabilitation in the areas of parenting,
job skills, stress reduction,
mental health
issues, grief counseling, gambling addiction
and substance abuse.
- Ensuring
full and scheduled payment of restitution to
victims.
- Reducing
the cost to the criminal justice system.
