BOP Program Statement 7320.01 § 8

confinement. The CCM shall notify the U. S. Probation Officer

(USPO) prior to final approval of placement on home confinement

and document that notification is in the file. General

considerations are:

a. Program Selection. In some jurisdictions, home confinement

programs may be available through a U. S. Probation office, a

contract CCC or under an Intergovernmental Agreement. The CCM

shall select the program most likely to meet the inmate's needs,

giving consideration to such factors as cost effectiveness,

geography, and other management variables.

Home Confinement Program requirements, including accountability

and other supervision needs, are specified in Attachment B. The

CCM must approve any modification to these requirements in

advance.

b. Release Plan Verification. To approve a home confinement

placement, the CCM must have written verification of the release

plan from either the USPO or the CCC, including:

(1) The planned residence, including assurance that it has

telephone service without prohibited services listed in

Attachment A;

(2) Adults sharing the residence with the inmate are aware

of, and not opposed to, the inmate's plan to participate in the

program; and,

(3) Employment (for employable inmates). Release

employment is desirable but not required.

c. Inmate Requirements for Placement. To be placed on home

confinement, the inmate must sign the "Conditions of Home

Confinement" BP-460(73) prior to placement. The CCM may permit

"call waiting" on the telephone of inmates whose placement on

home confinement is not electronically monitored.

(1) Medical and Dental Expenses. Inmates on home

confinement programs are responsible for their own medical and

dental care expenses. If they are unable, or if they refuse, to

be responsible for such costs, they may be returned to a federal

institution for evaluation and possible treatment. In an

emergency, the provider may obtain the necessary medical

treatment required to preserve the inmate's health but must

notify the CCM of such treatment within 24 hours.

(2) Subsistence Contributions. Home confinement residents

are not required to pay subsistence.

d. Transfer Orders. When an inmate is being transferred from

a CCC to a home confinement program operated by an agency other

than that CCC, the CCM shall prepare the Transfer Order to

document the official transfer to home confinement. Otherwise, a

Transfer Order is not required.

e. Inmate Needs. Inmates identified as needing other

community-based program activities such as mental health or drug

treatment, shall normally be able to continue these programs when

placed on home confinement. The CCM shall coordinate the

continuation with the provider.
