how is this different from already established government funded programs like: drug court, day reporting and reentry, probation, community control?

i don't like it when private businesses get involved with public programs (look at private prisons for example). we already have enough corruption in the system.

Promise would make these programs more efficient by providing additional support to participants and having the technology take care of many of the routine, time consuming tasks that social workers or case managers currently do.

that's a dodgy answer. mind elaborating on what exactly you plan to do.
