The Work Release Program allows qualified offenders, who have time to serve, to live at home and report to the work facility or other work site where they perform various public service work.
The Work Release office is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, closed on
weekends and holidays. This work
program is a partnership with the Shasta County Probation Department
Community Service Unit and the Home Electronic Confinement (HEC)
program.
Work release allows families to stay together and jobs to be
continued so an offender´s financial obligations may be met. At the
same time, the offender repays our community by doing public service
work. Some of the services provided are road crews, cemetery cleanup
crews, and growing fruits and vegetables in the 7-acre garden at the
facility. The produce is utilized by the Shasta County Jail, with surplus
donated to various nonprofit organizations for distribution to the
needy.
