This paper explores the pivotal role of social work in community corrections as a progressive alternative to mass incarceration. It examines strategies at micro, meso, and macro levels, highlighting individualized support for offenders, community-based interventions, and policy advocacy to promote rehabilitation and reintegration. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of sustainability in social work services, advocating for volunteer involvement to extend the reach and impact of professional interventions. Drawing on examples such as the Brug Binnen Buiten project, this study illustrates how integrating professional expertise with community engagement can ensure long-term support for offenders. By adopting a holistic and sustainable approach, social workers can address the complex needs of offenders while fostering safer and more inclusive communities.
