Monmouth County Juvenile Detention Alternatives

Source: Monmouth County Division of Juvenile Detention Alternatives

Monmouth County Division of Juvenile Detention Alternatives operates a Home Detention/Electronic Monitoring Program that serves juveniles referred by the Monmouth Vicinage, Family Division Judiciary. The County of Monmouth funds the Home Detention Program. The Division of Juvenile Detention Alternatives oversees all youth placed in the continuum of detention alternatives (as listed below). They ensure that the youth appears in court, as well as address program non-compliance. In addition, the Detention Alternative Unit will link youth up with services, as needed.

House Arrest is a detention alternative utilized at the Judge’s discretion. It allows a juvenile to be released from the detention center to a parent or guardian under specific restrictions. It also offers an option to the Judge when a juvenile appears before them on a serious charge, who is not retained, to allow the juvenile to remain at home without posing a threat to the community. The juvenile is not allowed to leave the home without a parent or guardian except to attend school or work. The local Police Department is notified of the juvenile’s specific House Arrest conditions. The juvenile and his/her family are informed any violation of the House Arrest conditions will result in the juvenile’s arrest and possible return to the Youth Detention Center.

➢ House Arrest A: Supervision is primarily the responsibility of the youth’s parent/caregiver. DA staff will have bi- weekly face to face contacts and weekly phone contact for House Arrest A. Youth may leave the house to go to school, work, and all other approved activities with the company of a parent / caregiver. There is not program capacity in terms of the number of youth served. The expected average LOS on House Arrest A is 45-60 days.

➢ House Arrest B: House Arrest A plus daily random phone contacts and weekly face to face contacts conducted by the Department of Human Services/Division of Juvenile Detention Alternative staff throughout the day. Up to 4 random calls per day -If youth is compliant, phone calls may be reduced over time.

Home Detention Program (HDP) is a detention alternative program utilized at the Judge’s discretion. It affords the juvenile to be released from the detention center, under the supervision

of the Home Detention Program Officer, to return home on an electronic monitor. The juvenile is monitored 24 hours a day through an electronic monitoring bracelet. The juvenile is given “windows” of time which are pre-documented as specific timeframes he/she will be out of the home to attend school, organized sports, church etc.. The juvenile must be in their home at all other times. Special requests may be made to the HDP Officer for additional windows for family related functions. These additional timeframes are at the discretion of the HDP Officer. The juvenile’s behavior, attitude and level of supervision while exercising the “window” will all be deciding factors. A violation of the Home Detention Program could result in the immediate return of the juvenile to the detention center based on the severity of the violation.

Electronic Monitoring (EM) Expansion –GPS/Wireless EM

The goal of the Electronic Monitoring (EM) Expansion program is to provide electronic supervision that allows juveniles to remain in the community as opposed to being incarcerated in the youth detention center. Members of the Division of Juvenile Detention Alternatives rotate after hours on call to provide 24 hour a day 7 day per week coverage to respond to municipal police departments to install GPS/Wireless ankle units for juveniles deemed eligible by the court in lieu of secure detention. The Family Court Intake Officer utilizes the Risk Screening Tool to determine eligibility. Initially the youth is placed on a GPS unit and is required to attend a court hearing on the next business day. At that time, the courts will determine if the GPS bracelet should remain on or changed out for the traditional Home Detention bracelet. The courts can also decide to place the youth on a different Detention Alternative Program.

STEADY-Transitional DA Supervision

“Transitions” provides a wrap-around approach for youth through the implementation of Team Meetings and continued support for the youth and families upon their transition onto Probation supervision. Transitional Detention Alternatives Supervision will be part of the STEADY Transitions program, for youth with chronic offense histories placed on ANY of the detention alternatives. The STEADY Transitional DA Supervision is available for youth with three or more incident dates and five or more charges in delinquency history, with the most serious prior adjudication of a 4th degree or greater. The 60 to 90 day transitional DA Supervision component will take place at the time of adjudication & disposition, and that meet the above criteria. At the time of placement on the STEADY Transitions Program, the program contract will outline rules and conditions that must be followed. Any sanctions that include more restrictive supervision must have prior approval from the courts. This component is aimed to reduce the number of youth who reoffend upon release from an alternative. Therefore, a moderate level of noncompliance for this specific population of youth is expected and DA staff will work to address in combination with Probation before rising to the level of implementing sanctions.
