The Community Assistance Center is a private nonprofit organization which has been working since 1958 to make Hawaii a safer place. We serve the community by teaching our clients offenders offenders families exoffenders and youth involved with the criminal justice system a range of fundamental skills which help them avoid repeatoffending and become more selfreliant lawabiding and productive citizens. Our work improves community safety and supports the criminal justice system by increasing the effectiveness of an offenders rehabilitation. CAC programs lower the cost of incarceration to the taxpayer by both reducing the recidivism rate among felons and by providing sound sentencing components which may reduce an offenders prison time.
