This is an intensive community supervision program for parolees who are at a high risk of reoffending.
Those who have served at least two-thirds of their sentence can participate in the program. Participants are expected to spend approximately 40 hours a week on occupational activities, looking for a job, educational or training activities, or drug addiction treatment.
These are the program’s components:
1) House arrest for six months: includes four meetings a week with an intensive community supervision officer and weekly tests to detect drug abuse.
2) Modified house arrest, lasting four months: a weekly meeting with a supervision agent and bimonthly tests to detect drug abuse.
3) Modified house arrest, lasting two months: weekly face-to-face meetings with a supervising officer and random drug tests as required by the supervising officer.
4) Mandatory return home, which lasts for the remainder of the supervision period: with two monthly meetings of supervising agents and discretionary drug tests.
