Alcohol – A Difficult Problem for the Criminal Justice System Some People simply should not drink alcohol Separating Alcohol from the Offender Why is it so Difficult? Rapid Metabolism (Absorption/Elimination) Need for Consistency Need for Accuracy Positive Identification Incident Reporting Manpower Intensive

Alcohol – A Difficult Problem for the Criminal Justice System Alcohol Testing Technologies Personal Breath Testers Urine Testing Remote Breath Testers Vehicle Ignition Interlock ALL ARE POINT-IN-TIME MEASUREMENTS

Alcohol metabolizes quickly  Offenders can drink around random breathalyzer tests Breathalyzer Test 7 AM Offender Starts Drinking 6 PM Breathalyzer Test 5 PM Offender Peaks Offender is Sober 6 AM Breathalyzer Test 7 AM Unless you're lucky, random point-in-time testing will miss most drinking events Why random testing does not work

Continuous offender accountability Automated 24 x 7 testing Comprehensive next-day reporting Court-supported technology What Is needed?

Alcohol metabolizes quickly  CAM monitors an offender’s alcohol consumption continuously, 24x7! CAM Testing Methods Offender Peaks Entire drinking event is recorded Offender Starts Drinking 6 PM Offender is Sober 6 AM

The Role of Continuous Alcohol Monitoring Assess  Identify/Direct Offenders to treatment and supervision Detect  Improve Supervision/Intervention  Separate Compliant from Noncompliant Offenders Deter  Offender Accountability – Stay Sober or Else  Enhance Public Safety Separate Alcohol From the Offender Assess Detect Deter

At The Core: Responsibility & Accountability Shift Responsibility/Accountability to Offender  24 x7 Testing vs. Point in Time Testing  Cannot Drink Around 24x7 Testing  Awareness of Testing Increases Successes  Long-Term Abstinence Increases Success Rates “

SCRAM – Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor Worn on the ankle 24/7 Goes where the offender goes Tests for alcohol every 30 minutes Uses transdermal technology to measure alcohol as it evaporates through the skin Automatically collects, stores, and transfers all data to the SCRAM modem on a predetermined schedule

SCRAM System Components SCRAM ankle bracelet  Secured to offenders leg SCRAM modem  Plugs into an analog telephone line  Stores alcohol readings, tamper alerts, and diagnostic data  Sends all data to SCRAMNET SCRAMNET  Web-based application managed by AMS where offender data is collected, stored, and analyzed

The SCRAM System

What Does SCRAM Detect? Alcohol Tampers/Obstructions Environmental Interferrants

Non-compliant offender: SCRAM Detected the Consumption of Alcohol SCRAM GRAPHS

Non-compliant Offender - Obstruction SCRAM GRAPHS

Environmental Interferant Detected

Transdermal Alcohol Testing A percentage of alcohol is excreted unchanged wherever water is removed from the body – breath, urine, perspiration, and saliva Unaltered alcohol excretion permits an accurate measurement using both breath and insensible skin perspiration

Transdermal Testing  Used as a screening device to determine whether a small, moderate, or large amount of alcohol has been consumed  Does not produce a specific BAC reading  Recent studies conclude that transdermal alcohol readings correlate with BAC readings  Transdermal testing has a time delay in the absorption, peak, and elimination of alcohol

Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Transdermal Alcohol Content (TAC) Absorption and Elimination Rates
