The Osborne Association, Inc.
Osborne’s Court Advocacy Services (CAS) serves individuals charged with a misdemeanor and/or felony-level offense who are subject to a sentence of incarceration. Employing the principle of Risk/Needs/Responsivity, we prioritize individuals charged with serious crimes that, without intervention, would be highly likely to result in a significant term of incarceration. To serve them, CAS uses a program model that aims at preventing or reducing jail or prison time for the maximum number of individuals by concentrating on court processes and on matching clients to services that directly address the antecedents of criminal behavior for each person. CAS staff develop individual case plans and produce related work products, such as Bail Applications and Pre-Plea or Pre-Sentencing Memoranda, which advocate for ATIs, ATDs, reduced charges, mandated treatment, or other relatively favorable outcomes.
