This program consists of supervision and monitoring of parolees who are at a risk of waiving open regime requirements and returning to prison. The goal is to reduce the prison population and the costs of the incarceration system through intermediate sanctions between home detention and standard incarceration.
The program offers more supervision, monitoring, and requirements than standard interventions, with 10 agent-participant encounters per month and a requirement to maintain education and/or employment or search for a work placement.
Intermediate sanctions are determined in meetings between the officer, case management team and participant, and may consist of home detention, electronic monitoring, or referral to a transition home. The program lasts 9 to 12 months.
