Probation and Parole Supervision

The Adult Community Corrections (ACC) - Region 1 office in Portland serves as the primary hub for supervising adult offenders in Cumberland and York Counties. Operated by the Maine Department of Corrections, this facility is responsible for the case management of individuals on probation, parole, and supervised release. The office focuses on balancing public safety with rehabilitation, utilizing evidence-based risk assessments to determine the appropriate level of supervision and intervention for each client. Probation officers work closely with offenders to monitor compliance with court-ordered conditions while connecting them with community resources such as substance use treatment, housing assistance, and employment programs.

This location also facilitates the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision, managing the transfer of supervision for offenders entering or leaving the state of Maine.
