Introduced
in 2004, the house arrest program provides the Gallipolis Municipal Court with
another alternative for sentencing. Previously, the
court could sentence an offender to jail time and/or community service. Under the new
house arrest program, defendants are closely monitored electronically to ensure
they remain at home at the times required by the court. High-tech ankle
bracelets, such as the one pictured, are electronically connected to a
monitoring device that notified the Gallipolis Municipal Court by telephone when
an offender is out of range, or if the connector is cut. The new system
allows non-violent offenders to continue working in order to pay fines and
restitution. The cost of the house arrest program is an initial hook-up fee of
$50.00. The daily fee is $10.00 per day.
