Title: Community Supervision Administrative Sanctions

Abstract: 

The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia (CSOSA) is amending its regulations

concerning the conditions of release requirements that offenders under CSOSA supervision, may be subject to as codified in

Title 28, Chapter 810 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This section of the CFR pertains to the conditions of release

that are imposed on an offender when under CSOSA supervision; specifically, the requirement to maintain a certain frequency

of face-to-face contact with one's community supervision officer, and the conditions of release that are articulated in the

accountability contract that the offender signs with CSOSA. This section of the CFR also details the consequences that an

offender may face for violating the conditions of his or her supervision.

With this amendment, CSOSA will revise the language to reflect that the regulations apply to probationers as well as parolees,

and individuals who are under supervised release. In addition, CSOSA will expand the language of the regulation to detail and

provide notice of when CSOSA Community Supervision Officers will use electronic monitoring as a tool to assist in supervision.

Currently, the regulations only reference electronic monitoring as an administrative sanction for an offender who has violated the

general or specific conditions of release or who has engaged in criminal activity. The amended language will specify the

circumstances under which electronic monitoring is used as a supervision tool, including but not limited to: instances when

CSOSA's Community Supervision Services (CSS) Division issues directives to place offenders who fit a certain criminal

behavioral pattern on electronic monitoring; and instances when CSS makes an individualized determination to place an

offender on electronic monitoring based on an offender's noncompliance with the conditions of his supervised release or for

other extenuating circumstances.
