Incorporating the use of mobile devices and remote technology in community corrections has enhanced criminal justice outcomes by removing common burdens from the defendant when trying to follow their correction/treatment plan, e.g., making an office visit without adequate transportation options. Mobile phones and laptops make treatment, probation, and parole appointments more easily accessible, and the use of remote technology has received positive response from those involved.
