ELECTRONIC HOME DETENTION
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
1. FIX Tuesday, January 14, 199:7 at 9:45 a.m. for a public hearing on proposed fees to be
charged to every person applying for electronic home detention that requires monitoring
through Sentencing Concepts, as recommended by the Sheriff's Department.
2. DIRECT the Sheriff to publish required notices and to submit to the Clerk of the Board by
Friday, January 3, 1997 documentation supporting the fee adjustments for public inspection.
BACKGROUND:
On September 20, 1996, the Board authorized the Sheriff to enter into a contract with Sentencing
Concepts, a private electronic monitoring firm. This contract enables the Sheriff to allow qualified
defendants who have been convicted of crimes in Contra Costa County and live in other California
counties to remain out of custody while being strictly monitored during their sentences.
The recommended fee schedule will allow the Sheriff to defray all County costs associated with the
private home electronic monitoring program. Application fees of $100.00, plus $15.00 minimum
for each day served in the program, based on an ability to pay, or a daily fee equal to the defendant's
gross hourly fee if over $15.00, plus an installation fee of $25.00 when applicable, are proposed to
be charged.
