Cornerstone Philadelphia Reintegration(CPR)
CPA is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and provides reintegration services for 50 adjudicated male sex offenders, ages 12-20. Our reintegration program successfully transition youth back to their communities through the Balanced and Restorative Justice Approach. Cornerstone’s reintegration emphasizes community involvement, positive peer relations, accountability and management of risk for re-offending, case management, and competency development for the offender in life skills, education, and employment.

The program is based on the philosophy that a continuation of services is essential to maximizing the potential for long-term positive change and normalization. Offenders learn to control themselves in social settings and get support in the community where success or failure will ultimately be measured. The reintegration program begins upon commitment date into a residential treatment facility or as an alternative to residential treatment placement. The courts, juvenile probation, and CPA staff work together in developing the foundation for the youth’s re-entry into society. This unique approach enables us to begin building a bridge toward a fully functional and seamless system. The average length of reintegration services is 12-18 months.
