Residential Community Corrections: Residential treatment facilities, operated outside the <br />scope of the Division, exist to address specific treatment or behavior needs. Offenders ordered <br />to participate in this sanction must spend a specific period of time living within the facility, <br />usually from a30-day period to as much as a two-year period. Most residential programs are <br />operated by the non-profit sector, although the Department of Correction operates one residential <br />treatment program, which is the DART Therapeutic Community. Approximately 16 were <br />sentenced to this program from Cabarrus County during the year. <br /> <br />Electronic House Arrest (EHA): District 19A continues its use of the EHA sanction, <br />combining officer contact with radio/computer technology to monitor the offender. The <br />computer, radio, and communication technologies provide assistance with control elements of <br />supervision while District Intermediate Officers focus on supervision and treatment components. <br />In this most restrictive community sanction, offenders are allowed to leave their residence only <br />for treatment, employment, or education purposes. Approximately 64 offenders were sentenced <br />to this sanction during FY 2002-2003 in Cabarms County. <br /> <br />Intensive Supervision: This sanction uses a two-officer (Intensive Case Officer and <br />Surveillance Officer) supervision team concept. Multiple contacts by both officers, <br />encompassing both daytime and nighttime are used to monitor compliance, enhance control, and <br />address treatment needs. Approximately 201 offenders were sentenced to this sanction during <br />the year, maintaining its distinction as the sanction of choice among the judiciary. <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br /> <br />
