Business Segments
Cornell Companies offers a diverse portfolio of services in structured and secure environments through three operating divisions:
- Adult Secure Services
- Adult Community-Based Services
- Abraxas Youth and Family Services
Within the Adult Secure Services segment, Cornell provides minimum- to maximum-security incarceration services for federal, state and local government agencies. The company ensures public safety through the operation of a secure environment which includes, among other security and safety measures, professional correctional guards, alarmed fencing, razor wire and centralized monitoring via closed circuit camera systems. Cornell also provides a variety of educational, counseling and vocational programs aimed at providing a successful transition of inmates back into the community. Group and individual counseling is available for issues such as substance abuse and addiction, victim awareness and anger management. Cornell also provides extensive training in diverse employment and life skill areas including computers and job training opportunities, decision-making, personal hygiene, parenting, banking, budgeting and money management.
Cornell's Adult Community-Based Services involve the supervision of adult parolees and probationers. Cornell offers a national presence with locations in many large urban areas, throughout the United States. The company's programs focus on transitioning offenders approaching release from a correctional facility back into society. Through education, employment training, treatment, monitoring and accountability, clients receive the necessary tools to make positive life choices that can reduce their likelihood of re-entry into the correctional system. Cornell is a leading provider of community-based services to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons and to a number of state corrections departments.
The Abraxas Youth & Family Services division includes residential, detention, shelter care and community-based services, along with educational, rehabilitation and treatment programs for juveniles, typically between the ages of 10 and 18. Cornell’s Abraxas division is uniquely equipped to address the issues currently facing the juvenile justice system because its operating scale enables the company to offer programs tailored to specific treatment programs such as sex offenders, firesetters, adolescent female programs, mental/behavioral health and drug and alcohol treatment.

“I think that New York is not the cultural center of America, but the business and administrative center of American culture.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
“It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men—broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
