AMS delivers an enabling technology and service platform that changes the way the corrections industry can manage alcohol offenders. CAM + House Arrest

  2. AMS Timeline ► 1991 Original AMS patent filed 1997►AMS formally established as a company, prototype completed 2002 Began 18-month BETA with Michigan DOC 2003► SCRAM introduced; AMS creates CAM category; second set of patent applications submitted prior to launch 2006► SCRAM adopted by courts in 40 states 2007► SCRAM reaches 100 million alcohol-test milestone; used in 44 states; second set of patents granted 2008► AMS launches smaller, lighter version of SCRAM bracelet; third set of patent applications submitted 2009► SCRAM now in 48 states; more than 120,000 clients monitored 2010► AMS launches SCRAMx (CAM + house arrest) 2011► SCRAMx increases compliance from 76% to 83%; 220,000 clients monitored; 20M monitored days; 830M tests performed ►

  3. The Problems We Are Solving 40% of all offenders are alcohol involved when arrested Jails and prisons are overcrowded 1.4 million DUI arrests every year The system is overwhelmed The hardcore drunk driver (HCDD) persists Recidivism rates remain unchanged Traditionalmethodshave not produced better results 80% of domestic violence is alcohol related

  4. Predominately focusing on: The Hardcore Drunk Driver . . . Every state’s problem • Often drive with a high BAC of 0.15+ • Incur repeated DUI arrests • Are highly resistant to behavioral change • Are 385x more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than non-drinking drivers Sources: Century Council, National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHSTA), Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF)

  5. SCRAMx Solution PROGRAMS SERVICES PRODUCT Contingency management models that can be adapted toa specific application Court-validated, industry-proventechnology for 24/7 accountability Professional management of turnkey, custom CAM programs by AMS’ channel organization 220,000+ offenders monitored since 2003 225,000 monitoredin last six years Tailored to federal, state, and local requirements Serving more than 1,800+ jurisdictions nationwide Integrating components to deliver the SCRAMx advantage

  6. SCRAMx Product Innovation: SCRAMx Bracelet monitors for alcoholand curfew compliance Base Station receivesdata from bracelet Data transmits – via wireless or analog –from base station to SCRAMNET SCRAMNET is the central database and repository for analysis and reporting SCRAMx System Components

  7. Why CAM? Random vs. Continuous Testing Alcohol metabolizes quickly: Offenders can drink around random breathalyzer tests. Offender starts drinking 6 PM Offender is sober 6 AM Breathalyzer test 7 AM Offender peaks 0.095 Breathalyzer test 7 AM Breathalyzer test 5 PM Unless you're lucky, random tests miss most drinking events.

  8. SCRAMx Programs Probation Adaptability: Sheriffs’ Departments Parole / Re-entry • Prevalent throughout federal, state, and local levels of the criminal justice system • Adjustable contingency management enables supervision authorities to ratchet sanctions or incentives up or down based on behavior SCRAMx Applications Specialty Courts Treatment / Recovery Pretrial
