Programs
All Work Release participants are sentenced through Family Court which is a civil matter and not criminal.
Each participant is solely employed by the company and subject to the same employment rules as anyone else
to include work clothing and/or uniforms. They are paid the same except they are required to turn their
payroll checks into the Work Release Facility to have the wages disbursed as follows: 65% to Family Court
(or as ordered), 25% to GCDC for Program Fees ($75.00 weekly maximum), and 10% to their canteen account to
purchase necessities, toiletries, etc.
Several self-help and awareness classes are offered to all inmates at GCDC. These include two different parenting classes, Alcohol Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Aids Awareness and Prevention, and Religious Services. All these programs are offered free of charge by outside agencies who come to the facilities. The Detention Chaplain oversees our religious volunteer program; community members whom generously give their time providing inmates with spiritual counseling. |
