Electronic monitoring and early release

Electronic monitoring provides a population management alternative to the institution. It provides an alternative sanction to the courts by implementing a home incarceration program. Its purpose is to protect public safety. It also supervises those eligible offenders who pose a minimal risk to the community. The Electronic Monitoring program accomplishes this through the use of high-tech electronic monitoring equipment.

The Day Reporting program is an early release alternative to incarceration. It focuses on supervising eligible offenders. The program also provides help to those who pose a small risk to the community. It intends to lower recidivism rates. It also provides an alternative to incarceration for low-risk offenders. These offenders may need some intensive supervision. The Day Reporting program has partnerships with other organizations and agencies in Lexington to do this.
