home confinement; eligibility; electronic monitoring

SB 1366 creates a home confinement program for eligible inmates in Arizona, allowing them to serve time at home under electronic monitoring instead of in prison. It applies to inmates who have served at least one year of a sentence for specific non-violent felonies (like certain class 4-6 offenses), meet strict eligibility criteria (no violent history, no prior home confinement participation), and have victims notified and consulted before approval. Key provisions include mandatory electronic monitoring for at least one year, a possible monthly fee (adjusted for ability to pay) deposited into a community corrections fund, and strict revocation rules for violations or new offenses. The bill directly affects qualifying inmates, their victims (through notification and feedback rights), and the state’s community corrections funding system.
