When an offender is sentenced under a provision of law that 
requires the sentence to include a minimum term of imprisonment 
and the  offender is committed to the custody of the sheriff to 
serve the sentence,  the sheriff may place the offender in  an 
electronic home detention program for service of that minimum 
term of imprisonment unless (i) the offender was convicted of 
an excluded offense or (ii) the court's sentencing order 
specifies that the minimum term of imprisonment shall be served 
in a county correctional facility.
