These inmates are monitored by an Electronic Surveillance Program, and have strict qualifying guidelines and rules that must be followed.

These inmates have a job in Douglas County and are allowed to go to work each day, but must remain at their residence at ALL other times.  To ensure this, they are connected to an Electronic Surveillance system that is active 24 hours a day. 

Inmates are subject to urinalysis tests to ensure no alcohol or drugs are being used.  They are also subject to residence checks to ensure illegal activity is not being conducted.  

For more information on this program you can contact the Home Monitoring Deputy at 464-6301.
