Jail Alternatives Programs

The Sheriff’s Jail Alternatives Unit offers two programs:

  • Home Detention Program (HD): Allows an inmate to serve their sentence at home while continuing to work at their regular job.
  • Alternative Work Program (AWP): Allows an inmate to perform eight to ten hours of general labor for each day of jail time.

Participation Eligibility

Applicants are evaluated on a case-by-case basis as a continuation of the classification process. Factors include the severity of the current charge, circumstances of the case, victim impact, criminal history, prior program participation, and in-custody behavior. Placement is determined in the best interest of public safety.

Approval or denial is at the sole discretion of the Sheriff’s Department. These programs are a privilege, not a right.
