On December 20, 2017, U.S. Embassy Podgorica donated a Home Detention Central Monitoring System to the Ministry of Justice of Montenegro.
Montenegro’s Criminal Code provides that individuals who are subject to a sentence of imprisonment of 6 months or less may be sentenced to serve that sentence by confinement to the premises where they live. This donation – worth more than $250,000 – will support that program and provide a better and more cost-effective means to monitor offenders who meet the necessary legal criteria.
