ANNOTATION
For purposes of escape, there is no conflict between the home detention statute and the intensive supervision program (ISP) statute. In an escape case, the court must make a factual determination whether a defendant was placed in home detention or ISP based on the different elements of home detention and ISP. Home detention and ISP are mutually exclusive, therefore once the court determines whether the defendant was in home detention or on ISP there is no conflict. People v. Smith, 77 P.3d 751 (Colo. App. 2003); People v. Sa'ra, 117 P.3d 51 (Colo. App. 2004).
