Unless the sentencing court otherwise orders in a particular case, the sheriff or chief of police may supervise a convicted prisoner electronically instead of confining the prisoner physically in the county or city jail if:
1. The prisoner has a residential living situation which is capable of meeting the standards set in the general rules and individual conditions for electronic supervision; and
2. The sheriff or chief of police concludes that electronic supervision poses no unreasonable risk to public safety.
