The McDonnell Center is a highly structured and secured community corrections facility designed to reduce criminal behavior and divert eligible males convicted of a felony from the state prison system.

The CBCF program gives offenders an opportunity to remain in their community while addressing such issues as substance abuse treatment, job training and placement assistance, educational services, cognitive skills, anger management and other life skills, and a required completion of community service. While a resident of the CBCF, clients are able to establish local contacts in the community of a positive nature, which are beneficial upon their successful completion of the program and reentry into the community.
