533.015 Alternatives to incarceration.

Whenever a statute mentions probation, shock probation, conditional discharge, home

incarceration, or other form of alternative to incarceration, that alternative may include a

community-based, faith-based, charitable, church-sponsored, or nonprofit residential or

nonresidential counseling and treatment program or drug court, and, upon petition by the

defendant, the court may sentence or permit the defendant to attend that program. This

program may also be used for pretrial release and pretrial diversion.
