OPINION
Jеsse Grabarezyk appeals his conviction for escape as a class D felony. 1 Grabare-zyk raises two issues, which we restate as follows:
*430 I. Whether the evidence is sufficient to sustain Grabarezyk's conviction for escape; and .
II. Whether Grabarezyk's conviction for escapе violates the prohibition against double jeopardy.
We affirm.
The facts most favorable to the convietion follow. 2 While awaiting trial on other charges, Grabarezyk filed a motion for reduction of his bond. On November 6, 1998, the trial court ordered that Grabare-zyk's "bond [be] reduced to $50,000.00 surety and conditioned upon [Grabarezyk] being on home detention with work release." Appellant's Appendix at 2. The terms of the home detention were set forth in a separate order. Grabarezyk began his home detention with work release under the supervisiоn of the Brown County Community Corrections Program. However, in June of 1999, Grabarezyk's monitoring equipment indicated that he did not return home from work and Community Corree-tions was unable to locate him. The trial court issued a warrant for Grabarezyk's arrest. Grabаrezyk was arrested in Kentucky on May 31, 2000 and was returned to Brown County.
The State charged Grabarezyk with escape as a class D felony. Following a bench trial, Grabarezyk was convicted as charged. The trial court sentenced him to threе years in the Department of Correetion.

The first issue is whether the evidence is sufficient to sustain Grabare-zyk's conviction for escape. Our standard of review for sufficiency claims is well settled. We do not reweigh evidence or assess the credibility of witnesses. Marcum v. State,
Grabarezyk argues that he could not be convicted of escape because he was not subject to a lawful detention. Specifically, Grabаrezyk contends that his detention was not lawful because: (1) the trial court did not have statutory authority to place him in the community corrections program prior to conviction; and (2) the order placing Grabarezyk on home detentiоn was "flawed on its face" because it applied to offenders on house arrest during probation. Appellant's Brief at 5.
Grabarezyk's argument calls upon us to interpret the escape statute, Ind.Code § 35-44-3-5. The interpretation of a statute is a question of law which is reserved for the courts State v. Derossett,
Grabarezyk was convicted of escape under Ind.Code § 35-44-3-5, whiсh provides as follows:
a) A person, exeept as provided in subsection (b), who intentionally flees from lawful detention commits es *431 cape, a Class C felony. However, the offense is a Class B felony if, while committing it, the person draws or uses а deadly weapon or inflicts bodily injury on another person.
b) A person who knowingly or intentionally violates a home detention order or intentionally removes an electronic monitoring device commits escape, a Class D felоny.
c) A person who knowingly or intentionally fails to return to lawful detention following temporary leave granted for a specified purpose or limited period commits failure to return to lawful detention, a Class D felony. However, the offеnse is a Class C felony if, while committing it, the person draws or uses a deadly weapon or inflicts bodily injury on another person.
Grabarezyk was convicted under subsection (b) of the above statute. Both subseetion (a) and subsection (c) require a "lаwful detention." 3 Ind.Code § 85-44-8-5. However, subsection (b) does not require a lawful detention. Id. Rather, subsection (b) requires only the violation of a home detention order or removal of an electronic device. Id.
Moreover, even if lawful detеntion were an element of the offense, Grabarezyk's arguments would fail. Grabarezyk's argument that the order placing him on home detention was "flawed on its face" because it applied to offenders on house arrest during probation is misplaced. Appellant's Brief at 5. The trial court issued two orders regarding Grabarezyk's home detention. The first order is entitled "Order on Motion for Reduction of Bond" and provides: "Bond is reduced to $50,000.00 surety and conditioned upon the defendant being on home detention with work release. The terms of home detention are set forth in the separate order filed herewith." Appellant's Appendix at 2. The "separate order filed herewith" is entitled "Order on House Arrest" and lists the conditiоns of house arrest for a defendant on probation. Id. at 3-4. While the Order on House Arrest was not tailored to Gra-barezyk's pretrial home detention, the Order on Motion for Reduction of Bond clearly placed Grabarezyk on home dеtention. Thus, regardless of the inapplicable language in the Order on House Arrest, Grabarezyk was ordered to submit to home detention as a condition of his bond.
Finally, contrary to Grabarezyk's contention, the trial court had statutory authority to place Grabarezyk on pretrial home detention in the community corrections program. The use of pretrial home detention has been discussed by both our
*432
supreme court and this court. See, e.g., Purcell v. State,
In support of his contention that community corrections programs cannot be utilized in pretrial home detentions, Gra-barezyk relies upon Ind.Code § 85-38-2.6-1, whiсh applies to direct placement in community corrections programs. However, article 88 only applies to criminal "proceedings following a dismissal, verdict, or finding." See Ind.Code § 35-38. Gra-barezyk was required to submit to pretrial homе detention as a condition of his bond. Thus, Ind.Code § 35-38-2.6-1 is inapplicable.
'However, Ind.Code § 11-12-1-1 defines a "community corrections program" as:
a community based program that provides preventive services, services to offenders, services to persons charged with a crime or an act of delinguency, services to persons diverted from the criminal or delinquency process, services to persons sentenced to imprisonment, or services to victims of crime or delin-queney, and is operated under a community corrections plan of a county and funded at least in part by the state subsidy provided in IC 11-12-2.
(Emphasis added). Further, community corrections programs may include home detention and electronic monitoring programs. Ind.Code § 11-12-1-2.5. Thus, the trial court had statutory authority to place Grabarezyk in a community corrections program on pretriai home detention.
The trial court issued an order conditioning Grabarezyk's bond upon him "being on home detention with work release." Appellant's Appendix at 2. Grabarezyk violated his home detention by fleeing to Kentucky. Thus, sufficient evidence existed to find Grabarezyk guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of escape as a class D felony. See, e.g., Leshore v. State,
IL.
The next issue is whether Grabare-zyk's conviction for escape violates the double jeopardy clauses of the federal and Indiana constitutions. Grabarezyk argues that the same facts were used to support both the revocation of his pretrial releаse bond and his prosecution for escape. The issue before us, whether principles of double jeopardy preclude the use of the same facts to support both the revocation of bond and a subsequent criminal prosecution, is a pure question of law. Wilcox v. State,
Both the "United States and Indiana constitutions prohibit a second prosecution for the same offense after an acquittal, a second prosecution for the same offense after a conviction, and multiple punishments for the same offense." Id. at 909. Initially, the State notes that Grabaresyk's bond was never formally revoked. Gra-barezyk admits that "there wаs no bond revocation." Appellant's Brief at 7. If Gra-barezyk's bond was never revoked, he could not have been subjected to multiple punishments or prosecutions for the same offense.
Moreover, even if Grabarezyk's bond had been actually revoked, his double jeopardy argument would fail. We recently addressed this exact issue in Wilcox. *433 Id. at 908-914. In Wilcox, the defendant was released on bond pending trial on charges of battery and eriminal conversion. Id. at 908. As a conditiоn of bond, the trial court issued an order that the defendant have limited contact with the victim. Id. However, the defendant violated the order and a dispute ensued resulting in charges of battery and invasion of privacy against the defendant. Id. Additionаlly, as a result of her violation of the conditions of bond, the trial court temporarily revoked the defendant's bail. Id.
The defendant argued that her prosecution for battery and invasion of privacy violated "the Double Jeopardy clauses of both the federal and Indiana constitutions because she had already been subjected to jeopardy for the same matters during the bond revocation proceedings." Id. at 908-909. The trial court rejected the defendant's argument, and we held:
[We conclude that the General Assembly intended bail revocation to constitute a civil sanction, and we have not found the "clearest proof" that the sanction is so punitive in purpose or effect that the sanction is in reality criminal punish, ment. Thus, Wilcox was not put in constitutional jeopardy as a result of the bail revocation proceedings, and her pending prosecution for the conduct giving rise to the revocation of her bail is not barred by double jeopardy principles.
Id. at 918-914.
Likewise, the revocation of Grabarezyk's bond is not so punitive in purpose or effect that the sanction is in reality criminal punishment. See id. Thus, the revocation of Grabarezyk's bond due to his violation of the conditions of his home detention and his prosecution for escape do not violate double jeopardy principles. Seq, e.g., id.
For the foregoing reasons, we affirm Grabarezyk's conviction for escape as a class D felony.
Affirmed.
