Inmate Worker Program

The jail operates a work-release program for inmates. Inmates must be vetted before participating in this program. Those inmates who qualify for the program reside in dorm-style facilities that are equipped with bunk beds. The jail’s work-release program also permits sentenced defendants to enter the local community and maintain gainful employment with various businesses and companies. The inmate worker program allows incarcerated individuals to earn money while in jail.

In addition, inmates serving short custodial terms who are required to make certain payments, such as fines, court costs, child support, restitution, and child support, may financially contribute to those debts through their employment.  Further, the work-release program allows inmates to develop skills and trades.
