I had to share this one.......... For those Seinfeld fans<g> "Wire for BIAC FREE THE NEW YORK FOUR BOULDER, Colo., May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- BI Incorporated (Nasdaq: BIAC), a leading provider of electronic ankle monitors as well as community correctional services, announced today that it was offering the City of Latham, Mass. the free use of electronic monitoring equipment and day reporting counseling services in order to secure the release of the four individuals known as the New York Four who were sentenced on Thursday night's final episode of "Seinfeld" to one year in the city jail. Company President David Hunter was quoted as saying, "It is totally inappropriate to put low risk individuals no matter how insensitive, behind bars when there are viable alternative sanctions like electronic monitoring and day reporting services available. Our company is the leading community corrections service company and we are prepared to monitor these individuals in their homes, and provide them with treatment services in a day reporting center for a year. Under our plan, the New York Four will report to our supervision center every day for counseling, drug and alcohol testing, and good samaritan training. In our program," said Hunter, "we will teach these hardened New Yorkers the art of compassion and how to assist others in need." BI Incorporated is the leading manufacturer and provider of electronic monitoring equipment and services, institutional management systems, and community correctional services to the criminal justice market worldwide. The company was founded in 1978 and employs approximately 800 people in the U.S. Visit BI's website at bi.com .
