Corrections

	Since 1990, many states have seen a caseload increase of 80 percent or more, while probation officer staffing has increased by 50 percent or less
	Currently alcohol testing programs are costly, time-intensive, and allow offenders to manipulate testing schedules or even ignore a request for testing.
	Supervising agencies are forced to try to monitor each and every offender and have little ability to pinpoint the true problem drinkers.
	Over 50 percent of state parole and probation violators were under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or both when they violated the conditions of their current sentence.
	Recidivism is staggering for alcohol-involved offenders: One-third of DUI/DWI offenders in community corrections and two-thirds of those on probation are repeat offenders.

Manage the Offenders, Not the Technology
The statistics speak for themselves: From recidivism to drunk driving to violent crime, alcohol-involved offenders occupy a disproportionate amount of your caseload. Recidivism rates for alcohol-involved crimes have remained consistent for years, and conventional sanctions and education are doing very little to deter repeat alcohol offenders. For community corrections agencies, identifying which alcohol offenders are in compliance and which ones are truly in need of intervention, is often a guessing game, requiring time and resources to attempt to test and catch each alcohol offender. Current alcohol testing programs, while effective for on-the-spot testing needs, fall short when it comes to the need to monitor alcohol-involved offenders continuously and reliably over a period of time.

SCRAM is designed to integrate easily and cost-effectively into your current monitoring program. Designed to be one element in a comprehensive program of sanctions, education, and treatment, SCRAM ensures an accurate, round-the-clock view of your client's drinking. The SCRAM System allows you to spend your time managing your offenders, not supporting hardware issues, software upgrades, or IT support issues.

	You save money by testing all day, every day-testing is done once an hour or as frequently as 48 times a day for the same daily fee.
	You save staff time and resources?no supervision or staff resources are required at the time of testing. Results are delivered to your desktop via SCRAMNET and can be securely accessed via the Internet, at any time from any location.
