There may be costs for installing, monitoring and removing the device from the vehicle. The device is leased to the offender for the duration of the program. At installation the customer should receive a breakdown of all costs.
On average, the installation ranges from $70 to $150, and monitoring ranges from $60 to $80 per month. That equates to roughly $3 dollars per day while the device is installed.
Certain states have affordability or indigency funds that help offenders offset the costs of the device and installation, based upon their income verification. Affordability program guidelines for these funds vary by state.
