Home Detention offers offenders the opportunity to remain at home while receiving strict supervision from the Community Corrections staff. Community Supervision Managers make both face-to-face contacts and telephone checks on participants at both home and at work. Participants are allowed to leave home for the purpose of employment, counseling/treatment appointments, education, medical appointments, and religious services.
Home Detention is located at 155 E. Market Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204. Additionally, we are contracting with Sentinel Offender Services, LLC for Home Detention services. A member of the Community Corrections staff monitors the compliance of these contractors.
A Community Supervision Manager provides referral information and follow-up to clients and their family members who are in need of assistance in the following areas: substance abuse treatment, mental health counseling, employment assistance, housing, and education, etc..
All individuals placed on home detention must reside within the local calling area (no long distance calling). All individuals are placed on electronic monitoring. This requires that each individual have, and be able to maintain, a residence and telephone service and equipment that is compatible with our electronic monitoring equipment during their placement on the program.
All participants are expected to remain drug and alcohol free and they will receive random drug and alcohol screenings while on Home Detention.
All participants, except those who are declared indigent by the Court, will be assessed a $75 initial fee plus a $12 per/day supervision fee during the term of their placement. As such, all participants who are physically able will be expected to maintain full-time verifiable employment. All payments are to be mailed or brought into the Sentinel Office, located at 12 N. Delaware Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Payments can only be made with Money Orders or a Cashier's Check.
