Alternative Sentencing

Our program offers community service placement and court-ordered monitoring options, depending on the requirements of a person’s case. We partner with approved local nonprofit agencies to help participants complete community service in a setting that is safe, supervised, and appropriate for the individual’s needs.

Who We Serve

Alternative Sentencing services may be used for individuals who are sentenced by the Court, on probation, or subject to monitoring as a condition of bond, depending on the requirements of the case.

Community Service Placement

Participants may be assigned to complete community service through one of our approved nonprofit partner agencies. The goal is to place individuals in meaningful work that supports the community and aligns with court-ordered requirements.

What to expect:

• You may be asked to complete an intake/check-in process before placement
• Work assignments and schedules vary by agency and participant needs
• Hours must be completed based on deadlines set by the Court

Work Program

The Work Program is a voluntary option for individuals who are unable to afford payments on certain criminal and civil infraction cases. Eligible participants may receive a credit of $20 per hour worked toward eligible fines, court costs, and other assessments (restrictions apply).

Work Program participants follow the same guidelines and complete the same types of tasks as Community Service participants.
