MS SB2701

Reenacts Mississippi Code sections 47-5-1001 through 47-5-1014 governing the Intensive Supervision Program (ISP), which allows courts to place low-risk, nonviolent offenders as an alternative to incarceration with electronic monitoring and house arrest conditions.

Extends the repeal date of the ISP from June 30, 2012, to June 30, 2015.

Requires that any time served by an offender on intensive supervision probation be credited toward the service of their sentence.

Establishes participant requirements including employment or student status, payment of monthly program fees of at least $88 (or less for extreme hardship), restitution, monthly drug and alcohol testing, and at least 10 hours of monthly community service.

Removes the requirement for the Department of Corrections to submit a January 2010 report to legislative corrections committees regarding program effectiveness.
