The Home Incarceration Program is a non-residential alternative to the detention home for juveniles charged with criminal offenses.
Guidelines for Placement
Upon completion of a detention hearing or court appearance, the judge may recommend a juvenile for the Home Incarceration Program. To be accepted on the Home Incarceration Program a juvenile must meet the following criteria:
- Must reside in Chesterfield County or the City of Colonial Heights
- Must not be charged with a violent juvenile felony
- Must be willing to abide by Home Incarceration Program rules
Programs
- Outreach – Juveniles are released to the custody of their parents / guardians. Home Incarceration Officers make routine, unannounced face-to-face contacts with juveniles.
- Electronic Monitoring – Combines Outreach program with the use of an electronic monitoring device.
- Diversion Outreach (P.O. Sanctioned House Restriction) – Same as Outreach program, however referral is not sent by a judge but rather by a juvenile’s probation officer to divert the juvenile from court.
