We really appreciate this question because we believe that the incentives in the criminal justice system are often wrong. Our goal is to get people out of jail and keep them out. Our program is set up for the purpose of getting them out of custody. We will also evaluate ourselves based on how we do at reducing recidivism.
We will not use bounty hunters like bail bond companies. We will have a plan with the local jurisdiction that we are in. That will be county specific but will involve us trying to get them back on calendar if they miss a court date, but ultimately the Sheriff or local law enforcement picking them up if they have an outstanding warrant.
The response has been good so far. We have had some pushback based on general concern of replacing humans with technology. But, overall positive. We use an assessment tool to measure risk based on everything from employment to past conviction.
Thank you so much! We will not be providing direct treatment services to participants. Our goal is to find the best each county we work in has to offer and to refer people to the best programs we can find.
