The Lenexa Municipal Court utilizes Johnson County Community Corrections House Arrest programs as an alternative to incarceration at the jail. You are allowed to go to work, school, probation meetings and court hearings as well as attend any counseling or treatment ordered by the Court.
The requirements for house arrest are as follows:
-
Intake hours at Community Corrections office are 6 a.m. – 5 p.m. every day. You must first set up an intake date/time with the court and appear on that date/time at: 141 Mission Pkwy., New Century, KS 66031. You will not be able to start House Arrest on the same day you are in court.
-
You cannot owe any past due house arrest fees to Community Corrections or have any unpaid bills from the Residential Center. You can call them and ask if you have an outstanding balance. If the past due amount has been sent to Set-Off, then you or a family member must call 785.296.4628 and pay off the outstanding balance before you can do house arrest.
-
You must pay $140 upon intake to start house arrest by money order or debit/credit card only. No cash. If you do not have the funds at intake, you will be denied and must return to Court as directed by Community Corrections to see the judge.

You must have no illegal drugs in your system to start house arrest.

-
If you fail to appear for your intake, you are ordered to appear in Lenexa Municipal Court the very next business day or a warrant will issue for your arrest.
Once you start house arrest:
-
Absolutely no alcohol or illegal drug use will be tolerated.You will be tested by UA’s at AverHealth at your own cost ($16 per UA). If a positive result comes back for alcohol or drug usage and you want further confirmation testing, you must notify Community Corrections staff and request the testing from AverHealth and pay for it ($35 per test).
-
You must continue to pay on your house arrest bill. Costs for house arrest only (GPS) or alcohol monitoring with remote breath unit only are $11 per day. Costs for alcohol monitoring plus House Arrest (SCRAM or RBU) are $14 per day.

If you are starting house arrest upon your release from the Johnson County Adult Detention Center, you must have transportation arranged to immediately take you from the jail directly to the house arrest office.
-
If you are not employed, you will be required to find a job and/or attend job training sessions set up by Community Corrections.
-
Unless the house arrest is a condition of probation, you must appear in court for a house arrest review when the judge will review your performance on house arrest, verify that you paid for your house arrest, and verify that any counseling, classes or treatment ordered by the court has been completed or that you are currently enrolled and attending the required classes/sessions.
