Community Corrections Programs
For more intensive monitoring, in conjunction with Pretrial Supervision, a defendant may be court ordered to an electronic monitoring device. Electronic monitoring allows for close supervision of a defendant while in the community. Schedules are set for defendants who are allowed to work, attend school, counseling and other appointments required by the court. Restricted areas can be established in cases where victims are involved. Progress and compliance with conditions of release are continually evaluated and reported to the court.
SoberLink
SoberLink is an electronic tether device which allows remote alcohol monitoring, eliminating the need for offenders to travel to testing sites.
During the breath test, the Soberlink Breathalyzer takes a picture of the end-user to confirm their identity. The real-time photo and breath alcohol result are wirelessly transmitted on Verizon’s Private Network to Soberlink’s Monitoring Web Portal. Direct alerts are sent to notify the Community Corrections Coordinator when signs of a relapse occur, such as a missed or positive test.
The fee for those who qualify for this program is $10.00 per day.
Electronic Tether
Michigan's electronic monitoring system is meant to provide community supervision staff with additional tools to more intensely supervise offenders. The Department also provides this monitoring service for some district and probate courts, sheriffs' departments and juvenile offenders. The Curfew Monitoring (formerly known as Radio Frequency) program was successfully piloted in l986 for selected Washtenaw County probationers. By the end of 1987, it was being used on a statewide basis. It allows for the monitoring and enforcement of curfews and other conditions of community supervision. Offenders supervised using electronic monitoring devices are managed more closely than other offenders in the community. The use of electronic monitoring is sometimes used to divert offenders from placement in local county jails as well as act as an additional deterrent to parolees and probationers being managed in the community. The current "active monitoring" system initiates contact with the offender and is the largest state-operated system of its type in the nation. While the system does not "track" offenders' whereabouts like a homing device, it is able to determine if offenders are home when they should be. Known in the MDOC as the "Electronic Tether Program," the system allows the department to tell 24 hours a day, seven days a week, whether an offender is living up to the supervision requirements of his or her placement.
The fee for those who qualify for this program is $18.00 per day.
