Aspen of Minnesota
• Courts

Once the offender has reached the sentencing hearing of their case, the courts in conjunction with other consequences can also opt to sentence the offender to A.S.P.E.N. "Second Chance-Life Values" program. At the courts discretion the offender has thirty, sixty or ninety days to attend the class. Upon completion of the class the offender is awarded a Certification of Completion and the offenders' participation is communicated to the courts by the A.S.P.E.N. staff.
