Under this program, the offender has the choice of accepting the traditional sentence of fine and/or incarceration, for example, or volunteering to work a court-designated number of hours of community service for nonprofit organizations, public agencies, civic groups and/or religious facilities.
Eligibility
Judges select the participants (nonviolent offenders only).
