1. PURPOSE: The purpose of this Corrections Operating Procedure is to establish guidelines for the
Work Release and In House Arrest Programs.
I.I. SCOPE: This Corrections Operating Proccdure applies to all Sheriffs Office personnel assigned to
the Department of Corrections.
III. DISCUSSION: The Sheriff's Office Department of Corrections operates a Work Release and an In
House Arrest Monitoring Program for inmates, regardless of gender, in accordance with Florida
Statute 951.24 and the most current resolution of the Palm Beach County Board of County
Commissioners. The Work Release program allows county sentenced inmates thc privilege to work
at paid employment, or to conduct their own lawful business or profession, and return to the detention
facility at a specified time.
The In House Arrest Program allows pre-trial, county sentenced, and DU juvenile inmates the
privilege of leaving the confines of the detention facility and being placed in their residence, subject
to the rules and regulations of the program and stipulations from the court. Inmates who are court
ordered into this program may be given the privilege to work in the community and return to their
place of residence at a specified time. Pre-trial inmates require court orders for all movement away
from their residence with the exception of court appearances, attorney visits, and medical treatment.
All inmates have equal access for consideration for the work release and in-house arrest programs,
unless deemed to be a potential threat to the safety of themselves, staff, or other inmates, or to the
security of the facility.
There arc written operational procedures with written rules of conduct, which outline the screening
and selection procedures, and a system in place for evaluation of the program's effectiveness, and the
efforts to obtain community cooperation and support. The facility administrator has the authority to
approve or disapprove participation in any of these programs.
IV. DEFLNITIONS:
A. IN HOUSE ARREST — An alternative incarceration system where a participant is restricted to the
immediate confines of their home and to other stipulations as determined by the courts and, thc
PBSO Alternative Custody Unit. Verification of compliance is monitored electronically, using
electronic monitors in correlation with telephone lines, global positioning satellite, computers,
and physical checks conducted by PBSO staff assigned to the Alternative Custody Unit, as
assigned under the Inmate Management Division.
B. WORK RELEASE - A formal program sanctioned by the Sheriff and the Board of County
Commissioners whereby an inmate is released into the community to maintain approved and
regular employment Work release inmates are monitored utilizing global positional satellite
equipment and physical job checks. The Work Release Program is under the direction of the
Standards and Staff Development Division Commander.
C. TRANSMITTER - A battery powered, moisture proof device that emits a signal at regular
intervals and is fastened by riveted plastic straps just above the inmate's ankle.
EFTA00191567
NOU-20-2008 12:43 FBI S61 650 6951 P.02/10
C.O.P. it 926.01 Page 2 of 10
D. MONITOR - A device that receives a signal from the transmitter and automatically dials the host
computer, indicating the time the participant goes beyond or returns within the range of
the
signal. This unit will also dial the host computer when it's being tampered with, moved,
unplugged, or the power source is changed. If the telephone line is cut or disconnected
preventing the dialer from calling the host computer, the message will be stored until such time
as
the lines are reconnected. At that time a delayed message will be sent indicating the actual time of
each activity. Portable phones may not be used.
E. HOST COMPUTER — A personal computer (PC) installed at Alternative Custody Unit office.
The PC interprets incoming messages based on the stored logic of the program. A violation
message flashes on the monitor screen when a "left home" or "returned home" message is
received at an unauthorized time. The PC is on line twenty-four (24) hours a day, automatically
updating records, based upon messages received.
F. PORTABLE TRACKING DEVICE — Global positioning satellite device that is carried by the In
House Arrest participant any time they are away from the residence. This device sends signals to
a satellite, which in turn sends signals to computers monitored by Alternative Custody Staff. The
Portable Tracking Device (PTD) enables Alternative Custody Unit to monitor participant
movements 24 hours a day in real time.
G. CHARGING STAND — Device that the Portable Tracking Device is inserted into when the
participant is in their residence. It is mandatory that participants insert the portable tracking
device into the charging stand as soon as they arrive at their residence. The portable tracking
devise is then removed from the charging stand just prior to departure from the residence.
II. MINIATURE TRACKING DEVICE- Global positioning satellite device that is carried by the in
house arrest and work release participant any time they are away from their residence or from the
Stockade facility. This device sends signals to a satellite, which in turn sends signals to monitored
computers.
I. BASE STATION-Device that the miniature tracking device is inserted into when the participant
returns to their residence or to the Stockade facility. It is mandatory that participants insert the
miniature tracking device into the base station as soon as they arrive at the Stockade or home. It is
then removed from the base just prior to their next departure.
PROCEDURES:
A. Persons admitted to either the In House Arrest or Work Release Program shall either be
ordered by the 15th Judicial Circuit or approved by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
