BOP Program Statement 7320.01 § 12

PROCEDURES FOR DIRECT INMATE PLACEMENT ON HOME CONFINEMENT.

activein force · 1995-09-06 – presentact-effective-date

If there is a electronically monitored program available, an

inmate who does not require CCC transitional services may be

placed directly on home confinement from an institution.

a. Eligibility. Generally, an inmate may be considered

eligible for direct placement on home confinement if he or she:

# has no public safety factors,

# had excellent institutional adjustment,

# has a stable residence with a supportive family,

# has confirmed employment (if employable), and

# has little or no need for the services of a CCC.

b. Placement. If the inmate's plan is satisfactory, the home

confinement provider and the CCM shall establish the inmate's

placement date. The provider shall provide a written

notification of the acceptance and the reporting date to the CCM,

with a copy to the referring institution. The reporting date

should be a weekday, and the inmate shall be required to report

to the provider within 24 hours of reaching the release

jurisdiction. The CCM shall notify the referring institution via

SENTRY and provide instruction on when and where the inmate

should report.

Institution staff shall prepare a Transfer Order to document the

official transfer to home confinement. Institution staff shall

also prepare the Authorized Unescorted Commitment and Transfer

Card, BP-385, including the inmate's picture and fingerprints,

and forward it to the CCM at least two weeks prior to the

placement. The CCM shall forward it to the appropriate USPO.

If an inmate is eligible for direct placement on home

confinement, but an electronically monitored home confinement

program is not available, the CCM and the provider shall arrange

for an initial short placement (approximately two weeks) in a CCC

to allow the provider to become acquainted with the inmate,

orient him or her to the expectations of the program, and assure

that the job and living arrangements are appropriate. After

successfully completing that process, the inmate may be placed on

home confinement with the CCM's approval.

When problems arise during the orientation period which indicate

direct placement on home confinement is inappropriate or should

be delayed, the CCM shall delay such placement until the problems

have been resolved.
