Crawford County amends SCRAM contract to add continuous alcohol monitoring as sentencing option
Summary
The board approved an amendment to the county's SCRAM Systems contract to add continuous alcohol monitoring ($6.84/day) and remote breath PRO ($3.69/day) as sentencing options for Crawford County courts; the amendment passed by roll call.
The Crockett County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 10 approved an amendment to the county's existing contract with SCRAM Systems to add two monitoring technologies as sentencing options for Crawford County courts.
Adult probation staff presented the amendment, which adds continuous alcohol monitoring at $6.84 per day and a remote breath PRO option at $3.69 per day. The amendment was presented as an expansion of the 09/06/2024 contract and was described by staff as a voluntary sentencing tool to be utilized by Crawford County courts.
Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the contract amendment by roll call. The transcript indicates affirmative votes recorded for commissioners Shell, Henry and Sealy.
The board directed follow-up steps to finalize contract language and route the signed amendment to county legal and finance offices for execution. The amendment takes effect upon contract execution; county staff listed daily pricing to be charged to defendants ordered to use the devices as part of sentencing.
No public contested debate over the amendment was recorded in the meeting. The addition expands the county's electronic-monitoring options and may affect how judges and probation staff supervise certain defendants when court orders include monitoring.
