- Work Release Program
The Work Release Program allows qualified applicants with a jail sentence of less than 45 days to serve their sentence by providing labor to public work projects and charitable/nonprofit organizations in lieu of jail time. Individuals are offered the option of providing meaningful labor to much-needed community service projects, while being able to maintain present employment, family relations, and community ties.
Each jail day converts into a minimum of eight hours and maximum of ten hours of manual labor on the program Those accepted on the program must commit to working a minimum of two days a week. Participants receive good time work time credits on the program.
