Another alternative to San Diego county custody is home detention. This is meant for offenders sentenced to probation with a custodial sanction. Offenders are fitted with a GPS and are monitored 24 hours a day\/ 7 days a week.<\/p>\n
The screening process requires a referral to County Parole & Alternative Custody (CPAC).<\/p>\n
The eligibility criteria require that the offender have a verifiable residence, agree to participate, able to pay a portion of costs associated with GPS and is granted probation with custodial sanction.<\/p>\n
The exclusionary factors to prevent this alternative to San Diego county custody is if the offender is precluded by the court, sentenced per 1170(h) to ICJ; no open\/pending other charges, detainers or active warrants; no domestic violence with valid protective order; inmates with arrests or convictions for sex offenses to include sexual assault, lewdness, indecent exposure, or child victim crimes are presumptively ineligible.<\/p>\n
PC 4019 credits are not awarded so consider an alternative sentence to ensure defendant serves same time in home detention as he\/she would in jail (365 days in custody or 180 on electronic monitoring if eligible and complaint).<\/p>\n
