What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Answers may include any of the following:

Intensive-supervision probation and parole (ISP) is an alternative to incarceration that provides stricter conditions, closer supervision, and more treatment services than do traditional probation and parole.
Day reporting centers are facilities that are designed for offenders who would otherwise be in prison or jail and that require offenders to report regularly to confer with staff about supervision and treatment matters.
Structured fines, or day fines, are fines that are based on defendants' ability to pay.
Home confinement is a program that requires offenders to remain in their homes except for approved periods of absence; commonly used in combination with electronic monitoring. Electronic monitoring is an arrangement that allows an offender's whereabouts to be gauged through the use of computer technology.
Halfway houses are community-based residential facilities that are less secure and restrictive than prison or jail but provide a more controlled environment than other community correctional programs.
