VASAVOR

Virginia Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Program (VASAVOR)

VASAVOR (Virginia Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Program) combines and leverages the assets of Federal, State and Local agencies into partnerships designed to tackle the complex issues facing serious and violent justice-involved individuals and the communities they live in, upon their release.

The Problem

Making available services and treatment needed for these individuals to lead successful lives in their communities. Increasing protection for citizens of the community by enhanced casework as well as offender monitoring through advanced technology and the resultant augmentation of offender accountability.
