Loading...
Summary
Fleming County Fiscal Court approved implementing a Monitored Conditional Release (MCR) home-incarceration program with provider Monitoring Solutions, setting a $100 hookup fee and a $10 daily charge to inmates; the county's cost was reported at $4.75 per inmate per day.
Fleming County Judge/Executive Larry H. Foxworthy and the Fiscal Court on Feb. 11 approved implementing a Monitored Conditional Release (MCR) home-incarceration program with the private provider Monitoring Solutions.
Jason York, administrator of Bath County’s MCR program, told the court about Bath County’s reported success with Monitoring Solutions and described program policies and benefits, prompting the court to consider a similar program for Fleming County. The court voted unanimously to implement the MCR program and to set a one-time hookup fee of $100 and a daily monitoring fee of $10 to be paid by the inmate; the transcript notes that judges may waive the fees. The county’s cost for the program was listed as $4.75 per inmate per day.
The action directs staff to implement the contract and fee schedule as presented; the transcript does not specify contract length, oversight provisions, or how many participants the program will initially serve. The court’s motion passed unanimously.
