Licking-Muskingum Community Correction Center
Welcome to the Licking-Muskingum Community Correction Center (LMCCC) web site. LMCCC is a sentencing option available to judges in the Common Pleas Courts of Licking, Muskingum, Knox, and Richland Counties (other counties on a space available basis).
LMCCC is a sentencing tool in the continuum of sanctions available in the participating counties. LMCCC works in collaboration with social service agencies to provide quality service to offenders.
LMCCC is accredited through the American Correctional Association (ACA).
Our Mission
LMCCC seeks to strike a balance between control, punitive sanctions, and rehabilitative treatment in an intensive, self-contained, and positive psychological environment, which emphasizes face-to-face, staff-to-staff interaction. It is highly structured, program and staff intensive, with an aftercare component.
It is the basic philosophy of LMCCC that the correctional system should be viewed as a continual process, with the emphasis on treatment in the community, for non-violent offenders, and incarceration, at state institutions, reserved for control of offenders who are judged dangerous, violent, or incapable of rehabilitation.
LMCCC supports the concept of keeping offenders in touch with their home areas where the mutual adjustment of community and offender must eventually take place. It is the task of the LMCCC to facilitate the socialization of offenders in such a way as to preserve their dignity and the safety of the general community.
