[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1673934, member: 42"] Exactly...it's purely a funding mechanism, in exchange for arguably weaker supervision of offenders than is currently offered by DOC or private probation providers. One county DA I know of just pulled a coup and is taking over supervision after the District Judge (who didn't agree with DA supervision) left. This DA's office isn't staffed for it and he's actually strong arming the company that previously oversaw supervision into giving his office training and assistance for free in exchange for him throwing a bone to them once and a while in the form of "letting" a few people get sentenced to traditional DOC/Private supervision....just enough to keep the company from having to close up shop and let all their employees go. So right now, criminals who used to have to report to their probation supervisor weekly/monthly, be subjected to random drug tests, and comply with treatment and employment requirements are basically just showing up to drop off a check once a month.
