Assured Supervision Accountability Program (ASAP) recently notified city and criminal justice leaders that it plans to stop taking new enrollments from the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court and begin transitioning enrolled participants back to the court system.

The company says Aug. 1 is the target date to end operations


No new customers starting Monday, plan is to shut it down completely at the end of the month. Low enrollment and unpaid fees.

quote:

ASAP supplies monitoring services, but judges determine who must wear an ankle monitor as a condition of release. The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office has emphasized that it does not decide who receives electronic monitoring or who is released from custody, but instead carries out court orders.

That distinction was echoed by city officials.

In a statement, the City of New Orleans said it is reviewing the concerns raised by ASAP.

"It’s important to note that this is a service and contract directly overseen by the Criminal Court," the statement said.

I'm worried that it puts domestic violence survivors at risk," Manley said. At the same time, Manley said electronic monitoring should be viewed as a public-safety tool rather than a business opportunity.

He added that it should be used appropriately and not simply to generate revenue for private companies.

We want you to provide the service but you can’t make any money to run the business though.

We’re also going to stop issuing monitors and drop them from 450 to 150 and you need to keep operating at a loss

Then all you’d need is a hacksaw or cut off tool or torch.

FREE MARKET. If money can be made providing this service, someone will offer it. If not, then government needs to ignore their desire to pour money in and subsidize. Let it cease to exist. Alternatively, if the public interest is great enough, then the government can offer the service. Those are the choices.

Because crime is so low they no longer have a business.

Since February crime is virtually non-existent in the city. Almost down to nothing.

The OP says that “ankle monitoring in New Orleans is coming to an end”.

The article says the company currently handling monitoring for New Orleans is giving notice that they are terminating service in a few weeks, but would like to sit down with stakeholders to figure out a way forward. Stakeholders have voiced a willingness to do so, but also state that if the company does stop services, they will look for other options.

Do you consider the two to be one and the same? Or is the thread title a bit sensationalized?

269 murders, nonfatal shootings, carjacking and armed robbery ytd = "almost down to nothing"?

might want to move this to the political board.... lots of discussion about the judicial system, etc., in New Orleans


What is political about this?

I mean, other than the obvious point that voting Democrat is the problem, but that goes without saying.
