Credit Card Processing for House Arrest & Home Detention

    Collect your home detention caseload with billing, payments, and client records built for supervision work — not generic office software.

    House arrest and home detention programs supervise participants confined to their residence, usually combining RF or GPS equipment with schedule enforcement. Programs charge weekly supervision fees for stays that run from a few weeks to over a year, and long enrollments make consistent, automated billing the difference between profit and write-offs.

    Tether Pay's credit card processing turns every invoice into a secure online checkout, so home detention programs spend their time on supervision instead of paperwork.

    Built for how home detention programs actually work

    Instead of chasing cash, money orders, and untracked app payments, Tether Pay addresses the problems home detention programs deal with every week: long enrollments mean dozens of billing cycles per participant — one missed invoice compounds; schedule changes and early releases require pausing or adjusting billing immediately; family members often pay on a participant's behalf, muddying who paid what; programs write off thousands a year in balances that were simply never invoiced. One system replaces the spreadsheet, the reminder calls, and the shoebox of receipts.

    Set the billing cycle once at intake and let invoices generate themselves
    Pause billing instantly when a participant is released early
    Accept payments from family members that still post to the right participant
    Track lifetime paid vs. owed across a year-long enrollment
