Sheriff Thomas is a firm believer that persons placed in a jail or penitentiary
can serve constructive purposes that benefit society while
carrying out their sentence. For that reason, he has increased
the level of community work performed through this program.
Only inmates who have non-violent convictions and are
not considered to be a threat to the community are allowed to
participate in this program. Under close supervision,
they can provide a benefit to the community while paying their
debt to society. He also feels that this program serves
as a deterrent for our young people. Allowing inmates
to perform various manual tasks in the community provides
a powerful message to others about what happens when crimes
are committed. Inmates that have participated in the
Work Force Program during the last fiscal year (2009-2010) have
performed 41,394 hours of free service to our county, community and
non-profit organizations. This has resulted in a savings of $331,152 for
county residents and has allowed for the hiring of local residents to
perform tasks outside of the work done by the inmate labor force.
