Home confinement is a new punitive probation condition to be used with low-risk offenders in lieu of all or part of an incarceration period. The sentence specifies the start and end date of home confinement, the curfew hours, and exceptions to the curfew. Monitoring methods include random, unannounced daily visits to the home by the home confinement officer and two random daily telephone calls to the home by the unit clerk. Each team of a home confinement officer and a clerk has a maximum caseload of 20. Home confinement periods are from 3 to 6 months. In the program's first quarter, 16 cases were screened. Two were rejected by the judiciary, one was rejected by the program, seven were accepted, and six are pending. During the first quarter, two probation violations were filed for one probationer. Some problems encountered include busy signals on random telephone monitoring, detention rescheduling due to probationer employment changes, and the coordination of officer and probationer schedules. Case selection criteria and case profiles for the quarter are presented.
