Electronically monitored home confinement was proposed as a partial solution to prison overcrowding in Michigan. Prisoners selected for participation in the program qualify for halfway house work release status. The program has five major elements: (1) a prisoner classification system that uses actuarial risk prediction to screen out the most violent prisoners; (2) a device that sends out continuous signals to monitor curfews; (3) an emphasis on prisoner employment; (4) biweekly substance abuse testing; and (5) caseloads below 35 per field agent. Prisoners in the program who are employed must pay the rental cost of their electronic monitoring devices. The article details program results and costs, pointing out that the annual cost per prisoner for this method of confinement was $15,866. Recommendations for adopting the program are outlined, with special emphasis on the need to select participants and technology with care.
