For more than a decade, GEO Reentry has operated the RSC for the Cambria County Probation Department. This report assesses data points for 259 participants who entered the program in calendar year 2022.

Under the guidance of the Cambria County Probation Department, the Cambria County RSC opened in 2012. The RSC provides a structured combination of cognitive behavioral treatment, training, case management and community connections to help probationers break the cycle of recidivism.
