SB 1110 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

home confinement; eligibility; electronic monitoring.

SB 1110 establishes Arizona's home confinement program for eligible inmates, directly affecting those serving sentences for specific non-violent felonies who meet strict criteria. To qualify, inmates must have served at least one year, not have violent or sex offense convictions, maintain good conduct, and find employment or education (unless disabled), while also having no active warrants. The bill mandates electronic monitoring for participants and requires the Department of Corrections to notify victims of the application, provide them 10 days to submit feedback, and consider this input before approving placements. It also mandates the Department to ensure equitable access to monitoring technology and evaluate program effectiveness after 12 months using metrics like participant numbers and return-to-custody rates.
