The facility is not for everyone, and in many cases, even those who commit crimes will not be sent there. Those who are not believed likely to re-offend, and those who committed non-violent offenses are more commonly sentenced to house arrest and then probation.
- House arrest involves the patient in question being confined to their own home, or in the case of students living in the dorms, the school grounds. All of those under house arrest are outfitted with an ankle tracker. In the event the tracker is damaged or the individual strays outside their area, the police are notified and the patient could face serious consequences.
- Probation allows patients to travel freely, but comes with several restrictions depending on the nature of the crime committed. Someone who was arrested on a drug offense might have mandatory drug testing to ensure they remain clean. Those who committed violent crimes are generally ordered to avoid their past victims. In many cases, those under probation will have mandatory community service hours to do. While generally not mandatory, those on probation are strongly encouraged to participate in therapy.
