Interlock monitoring is a preferable and cost-effective alternative to jail time for the offender. Interlock orders enable DWI/DUI offenders to continue working, paying taxes, supporting their families and contributing to society while staying within the legal licensing system. Monitoring drivers allows them to seek treatment and reduces overcrowding in jails. At the same time, it effectively counteracts the problem of drivers continuing to drink and drive with suspended licenses.
