How does the cost of SCRAM compare to other programs that identify and supervise offenders who have alcohol abuse as a significant component of their offense?
The offender will pay an initial installation fee of $75, and the daily monitoring fee of $12 per day. To compare, Home Arrest systems that incorporate a remote alcohol testing component test at most 3 times per day at an average daily cost of $15 each day. Jurisdictions across the country are looking to both technology and the community corrections model to relieve the issues of prison overcrowding and labor-intensive monitoring. When SCRAM is utilized as an alternative supervisory method for court-identified offenders, the costs are substantially lower than incarceration.
