It’s called “RADAR,” or Real Time Alcohol Monitoring Detection and Recognition. Offenders are given random Breathalyzer tests throughout the day. The results are sent in real-time to correction officers. The program is used as either a condition for release, or part of a sentence.

Right now, more than 200 people are using RADAR in Marion County. Superior Court Judge Bill Nelson says it's not only stopping people from drinking—it’s saving on jail space and tax dollars.

“It’s offender funded, so it's not costing the taxpayer anything. If I throw someone in jail, it'll cost the county about $52 a day; the offenders are paying for this up to $12 dollars a day,” he said.
