This document discusses creating a weekend work program for inmates in Ontario County. It outlines key questions to consider like what department would sponsor it, required supervision, and costs. Cost analyses found that using part-time officers would be more cost effective than overtime pay. The program could save $20,800 per year in inmate costs by having 10 intermittent inmates work weekends instead of being incarcerated. However, adding programming to the work hours would increase annual costs to $31,200, making the program not cost efficient. In general, a weekend work program could be beneficial but may not be the most cost effective option.

Probation is a trial period for offenders as an alternative to imprisonment. It began in 1841 when John Augustus, considered the "Father of Probation", convinced a judge to release an offender into his custody instead of prison. Probation aims to provide offenders a second chance through supervision by a probation officer and fulfilling court-ordered conditions. Probation types include informal, unsupervised, supervised, community control, and intensive probation monitoring offenders' compliance through home/workplace visits and drug tests. Violating probation rules can result in consequences like expanded probation terms, revocation leading to imprisonment, or mandated programs.
