The program provides for immediate arrest of a probation violator whose violation is not another crime. The offender would then be subject to a minimum of three to 10 days in jail, with the terms of confinement escalating for each subsequent offense. Upon a fourth violation the offender would become ineligible for the SURE program. The program is to be administered by the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission as a pilot program in no more than 10 jurisdictions.
