Where the world s most powerful and proven continuous alcohol monitoring (CAM) solution meets the most established technology in the corrections industry. The integration of superior technologies that will address the needs of every court, probation office, sheriff s department, Department of Corrections, treatment program, or jail administrator that is impacted by the pervasive issue of alcohol misuse and crime. I ntensive CAM (icam) that delivers the most comprehensive alcohol offender management solution on the market today. However, the Power of X extends well beyond the confines of the product itself. It is also evidenced in the programs that address alcohol offenders across the various facets of the criminal justice system. And it s the extensive portfolio of value-add services delivered by Alcohol Monitoring Systems (AMS) network of Service Providers who can architect a custom, turnkey solution for you. Combined, the sum of these three integrated parts is what gives you the Power of X the SCRAMx advantage.

The Power of X = Product, Programs, and Services Product: Dual Functionality in One Device Simply put, SCRAMx is SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor) plus house arrest. It s the next generation of SCRAM that will elevate your alcohol offender management program to a new dimension. You can now monitor offenders 24/7 for drinking, while simultaneously being able to ensure they are confined to their homes during mandated hours of the day. By integrating CAM with house arrest in a single device, SCRAMx heightens the intensity and scope of your supervision efforts. First, you can go broader in having additional options with which to manage your offenders based on their behavior or other conditions. You can also go deeper with how much information you re able to compile on their drinking patterns and whereabouts, which further heightens accountability. And with the dual functionality of SCRAMx, you eliminate the need to place offenders on two separate devices. With SCRAMx, you can turn on CAM by itself or combine it with house arrest as needed depending on the offense, situation, or behavior while on the program. This gives you tremendous flexibility in how you can manage your offenders throughout their time on SCRAMx. Programs: Spanning the Scope of Criminal Justice Alcohol misuse impacts the full spectrum of the criminal justice system, and has been cited as contributing factor in a high percentage of crimes and the resulting widespread problem of jail and prison overcrowding. But because SCRAMx continuously monitors for both alcohol consumption and home confinement, it can be leveraged in a wide variety of program applications that feature one common denominator the alcohol offender. From pre-trial to community re-entry, SCRAMx helps offenders not only abstain from alcohol but also address the root cause of their problem alcohol addiction to change their underlying behavior and get their lives back on track. By offering courts and supervising agencies the built-in SCRAMx Adjustable Contingency Model, SCRAMx provides flexible guidelines with which to manage offenders based on their behavior, point in the criminal justice process, or other program variables.

Over the past six years, AMS has talked extensively with court, probation, and agency personnel about what else we could offer to them. We ve also listened to what our Service Providers were hearing out in the field from their customers as to what additional tools they might need in their ongoing efforts to manage alcohol offenders. One thing was evident from all their input. While SCRAM was making great strides both for the courts and with the offenders there was also the need to place some offenders under house arrest. Otherwise, they would need to go to jail or prison, both of which are experiencing severe overcrowding in just about every part of the country. To this end, our new trail to blaze resulted in SCRAMx, which offers intensive continuous alcohol monitoring or icam. Today, SCRAMx is the most comprehensive alcohol offender management tool on the market. With SCRAMx, you now have: Increased accountability by now being able to simultaneously detect both alcohol consumption and an offender s presence in or absence from the home The SCRAMx Adjustable Contingency Model, which helps you flexibly manage offenders based on behavior, place in the justice system, or other applicable variables Streamlined operations and reduced workload by eliminating the redundancies of setting up and managing two separate devices The ability for those offenders, who are not a threat to the community when sober, to earn jail credit for time served while being continuously monitored

Heighten accountability Improve outcomes Lower recidivism

INTERLOCK DEVICES APPROVED by TEXAS The list below provides the Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Devices (BAIID) and the vendors who sell these car breathalyzer devices that have been approved by the state of Texas. The list of approved vendors is provided for drivers seeking the installation of an ignition interlock device (IID) due to a court order and to obtain a Texas Restricted Interlock License. This order often follows a second DWI conviction or a first DWI conviction with a Commercial Driver License (CDL) as part of probation. For the private use of an IID, such as installing a breathalyzer device for parents to monitor teenage drivers or employers to monitor employees, other vendors may be used. For BAIID installation centers in Texas contact an approved vendor. Below the list of approved interlock companies is a list of the specific models that are approved for use in Texas.
