Home Incarceration ???

[leggyarcher]

I was just wondering what you all thought of home incarceration? I started working last week as a home incarceration field agent. I really like the work... I drug test, hook up the criminals with the MTD tracking devices, etc.... just curious on what you all thought about it.

[trust me]

The spouse handles that kind of thing with juveniles...it seems to work. Often though, the home in which they are being incarcerated is no piece of heaven. Jail would often be healthier and safer for the offender.

I haven't dealt with juveniles yet. I have received a couple of DUIs and shoplifters. We are suppose to pick up one soon that received home incarceration because he had been molesting small kids...the offender is only a teenager...! A young teenager at that...

I believe its a pretty good job, somewhat similar to a PO but I think the home incarceration itself is usless. As far as juviniles I like the scared straight program. I always had a ball watching the hardcore" thugs" cry like a 3 year old girl when I introduced them to their future cell mate.:D

What's the daily cost to the offenders on HI? Just curious.

I think our tax dollars get spent regardless. Seems like I saw on Discovery that housing a maximum security prisoner is over $50K a year. Money well spent to keep them off the street. If it were up to me, though, they wouldn't have any TV, computers, or anything else. They would be producing a product or service to atleast help with that $50K.

The same can be said for house arrest. The anklet costs money and I'm certain Leggy isn't doing this job for free. These people need to pay for their crimes AND their punishment.
Locking me in my house would certainly get old but it beats the hell out of prison. I can shoot my bow, watch hunting shows on the big screen and even get on kentuckhunting.net. :D

The bracelets may or may not allow you out in the yard to pursue hobbies. If you get out of range, the phone signals authorities and they come looking. The range is generally pretty short, too.

A computer calls your house at random times and you have to speak into the phone within so many seconds- voice recognition software decides if it is really you or not. They get really pissed when it calls their house 3 nights in a row at 4 am.:D

My brother used to drug test people. They made him watch them pee in the cup, cause some of them would tape a bag of somebodys elses urine to their thigh with a tube coming out their zipper to fake their sample.

[KYBOY]

You need to check there hands and stuff to. Ive seen inmates stuff lead under their fingernails because it does something to the test. We also made them produce a full stream befor they could give the sample,they would sometimes "store" someone elses urine in their urinary tract for the test. The full stream would purge them of any foreign urine or chemicals...

Anybody see the movie Harsh Times? He stuck a turkey baster full of clean urine in his wanker and squeezed clean urine up into his bladder. They didn't show it thank god, but they did make it look very unpleasant.:eek: He had drank a bunch of vinegar the night before to shut his kidneys down.

u know i always wondered why when the law catches a repeat offender they just take him to the doc and do a simple eye operation that blinds him for how ever many years he gets and then he can live at home and get welfare and needs no supervision cause not many blind folks break the law. when his time is up they restore his sight and he goes his merry way and i bet he don't break the law again. once u get over the horror of blinding someone that seems to me to be a simple solution. i suppose it would bring on a bunch of law suits tho.all the outta work folks who lost there jobs supervising the bad guys can go to work training seeing eye dogs.sure would cut down of prisons.

Man I bet that would hurt like I don't know what......ouch....:eek:

The installation fee is $180, that covers the first week only. Every week after is another $80... or $10.60 a day.

I think it is a good option for so called low risk criminals. The jail system is a huge burden on the counties financially.There is still a place for the jail/prison system and a well placed shot.

Good one!:D Along those same lines, for the junkies and drunks they should shoot them up with that same thing that makes alcoholics sick when they drink, just find one for other drugs also.

I agree with you. Besides, the jails around here are so full, that they can barely fit anyone else in there. Also, if the criminals are in jail and get sick, we end up paying for it, but if they are on HI, we don't have to foot the bill.

Because our constitution protects us from those kinds of punishment. After blinding, how long before we cut off people's hands like those moslem bastards do???

[newshooter05]

now being bastards don't mean they don't have a good idea once in awhile and whos to say whats cruel and inhumane. a court i suppose . considering what goes on in prisons maybe being blind is a better option but maybe not.

The post above, I was refering to this quote. It's amazing what people put themselves through.
