Church Release-

This program is described as a religious-based work re-entry program--designed to help jail inmates cope with being on the outside. Jail inmates are "checked out" by trained volunteers who are spiritual mentors. The inmates leave the jail and go to church, wearing civilian clothes, with the mentor. The inmates are not under guard by a jail officer and they are not accompanied by an armed deputy. Most of the offenders in the church program have been locked up multiple times and many have serious felony records that include drug offenses, assaults, and burglaries. To qualify for this program, the inmates must be near the end of their jail term and have no disciplinary issues. The inmates sit in church with parishioners who do not always know that they are seated next to inmates.
