Did You Know?

There Are No Incarceration Fees.

There are no fees involved for the incarceration itself. However, there are statutory fines and staturtory fees imposed as part of a sentence. If a Criminal Defendant requests one of the alternative jail programs, there can be fees involved for those programs, such as a Weekend Work Program or work furlough. The defense attorney or Probation Department can advise a defendant of the various consequences and penalties that can be imposed related to a crime.
