Saginaw County Sheriff's P.L.U.S. Office Page

The Saginaw County Jail offers a program which is an alternative to incarceration. The program is called P.L.U.S. (Prisoners Leave Under Supervision) which is a tether program that allows a sentenced inmate to serve their incarceration period at a residence rather than in jail.

The sentencing judge must agree that the inmate may participate in the program but the following rules and fees apply:

You will be required to pay $12.00 per day with the first week paid in advance to participate in the program.

You must have a phone (land line) without specials on the phone.

You are not allowed to consume alcohol or drugs while on the program.

You will be subject to random drug and alcohol testing.

You will be charged for the drug and alcohol testing.

You will not be allowed to leave the residence where the tether unit is located unless allowed to do so by court order or by permission of the PLUS Personnel.

You will be electronically monitored 24/7 by the tether unit and transmitter which is placed on your ankle.

You may be charged monetary fees to cover replacement costs for deliberately damaging/tampering with tether equipment.

PLUS Deputies must be allowed entry into the residence you are staying at to conduct drug and alcohol testing at anytime.

Those found in violation of the PLUS Rules may be picked up and placed back into the jail at anytime once the violation occurs.

Acceptance into the program will also be based on the availability of tether units.

If you have further questions in regards to the P.L.U.S. Program you can contact the office at 989-790-5416 or 989-790-5418.
