net widening db-comm corrections

 400 words, in text citations and references, APA format

Monroe  County, Indiana has a small probation department that has developed a  program of intermediate sanctions, starting with total custody, where  defendants are placed in jail. Moving along the continuum of  intermediate sanctions, this program moves defendants out of jail  through a variety of correctional programs in the community, eventually  releasing them from custody all together. This program has saved Monroe  County significant money in jail custody days. As a result Monroe County  has the lowest cost per individual of all of the counties in Indiana.

Why is net widening a concern in using intermediate sanctions?
