Adult Intensive Supervision Program (AISP)

The Adult Intensive Supervision Program (AISP), located at 905 N Main, is the most widely used program in the Department of Corrections. This non-institutional measure allows clients sentenced by the court to live at home under rigorous intensive supervision. Frequent urinalysis tests to detect drug use and frequent contacts with employers, treatment providers and the offender are characteristic of intensive supervision. The degree of supervision is based upon identified needs and individual progress.

Electronic monitoring is used as an extremely restricted method of supervision. It restricts the offender's mobility to the home or approved location while specific sanctions are enforced. The offender is monitored by a transmitter strapped to the ankle which broadcasts an encoded signal to the receiver located in the offender's home. It creates an electronic barrier. If breached, a computer is instantly notified. Possible reasons for electronic monitoring placements could be lack of compliance with program rules or court orders, need for restricted mobility, suspicion of ongoing criminal activity or any special concern for public safety or the safety of the offender.

Located at 905 N. Main and funded by the Sedgwick County Board of County Commissioners, the mission of the PSP is to divert appropriate inmates from the Sedgwick County Adult Local Detention Facility (SCALDF) and to ensure that defendants appear for Court.  Inmate evaluations, consisting of an interview with the inmate and an investigation of reported residence, employment and criminal history, are conducted to provide verified information to the judicial system so options other than incarceration in the SCALDF might be exercised. Supervision services are provided for the higher risk offenders, allowing them to remain with their families and maintain employment, while ensuring their appearance in court and reducing the potential to reoffend.
