Berkeley County Day Report Center

The objectives of the BDRC are to reduce repeat offenses and probation revocations through facilitating change in behavior patterns of the offenders who participate. The program is designed to provide a productive alternative to prison for nonviolent offenders. Offenders learn that a lifestyle of recovery is possible and that success is achievable. Eligible participants referred to the BDRC are required to report to the program in accordance with their approved daytime or evening schedules. BDRC staff work closely with each referral source to address each offender’s individual needs. Case Managers at the BDRC conduct the appropriate risk/needs assessment and an individualized treatment plan is developed and implemented according to identified needs and abilities. Participants are also subject to random drug and alcohol testing

It is the mission of the Berkeley Day Report Center (BDRC) to provide a viable, cost-effective alternative to incarceration for appropriate offenders. In partnership with law enforcement, the judiciary, government agencies and community resources, the Berkeley Day Report Center will reduce criminal recidivism rates by providing participants with the opportunity to learn about his/her behavior, acquire needed skills to address problematic issues, and develop life tools to ensure long-term success while enhancing community safety.
