Reducing Costs and Maintaining Public SafetyTechnology-supervised probation is a way to reduce costs while maintaining public safety. Estimates from the U.S. Department of Justice show that 1/3 of offenders supervised in the community each year with electronic monitoring would have otherwise been incarcerated.
But electronic monitoring of probationers isn’t just a trend to save money. According to a 2011 study funded by the National Institute of Justice, “monitoring significantly reduces the likelihood of failure under community supervision.”
SCRAM GPS and SCRAM House Arrest provide an additional level of supervision and support to help offenders fulfill the requirements of their release, such as abiding by restrictive orders and curfew requirements.

Home confinement, GPS location tracking, and continuous and remote alcohol monitoring in any combination can be used to assist with reentry, and rehabilitation while holding offenders accountable and helping to keep communities safer.
