The Wood County Electronic Monitoring (EM) Program allows eligible offenders to serve all or part of their jail sentence at a residence approved by the Probation Division. The daily EM costs, paid by the offender, are based upon a percentage of your verified hourly wage, unless you are self-employed.  Any self-employed person, contractor, or sub-contractor will be charged a flat rate of $10.00 per day.  You are expected to pay all program fees on a weekly basis by submitting cash, check, or money order directly to the Wood County Electronic Monitoring Program.

The offender wears an ankle transmitter 24 hours a day and is monitored by electronic surveillance equipment through your phone line to monitor your presence and/or absence from your home confinement area.  Approved leave time is granted in advance by the EM staff (provided the proper verification has been supplied) for employment, treatment, medical appointments, court hearings, or other reasonable pursuits that enhance the overall rehabilitation plan.

Every offender must comply with all terms and conditions of the EM program.  Offenders may not consume alcohol or illegal drugs while on EM.  Prior to entering the EM program the offender must provide a clean urine drug screen.  The cost of drug testing is $5.00 per substance tested for.  The offender will be tested at random while in the program.

Any non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the EM program will result in arrest and immediate incarceration in the Wood County Justice Center.  All EM related fees paid are non-refundable.
