Does this mean Mr. Lusk is being investigated for his culpability in failing to enforce or report Ms. Lusk's lack of DOC compliance? Wow ... I hope not. Why not put a GPS tracking device on probationers with an alert to assigned DOC community corrections officers for activities outside the designated counties/onto restricted properties? Chaperoned outings could be pre-approved avoiding probation violations in restricted areas. While this may be seen as a violation of privacy, it is the modern equivalent of house arrest/electronic home monitoring for a restricted time and purpose.

Adults should be individually responsible to adhere to terms of probation. Acts of coersion are one thing, keeping tabs on an adult offender is another. That is the job of the probation officer and law enforcement. From an outsider perspective, I admire and respect Mr. Lusk for supporting his wife.
