Work Furlough and Pay to Stay Inmate Worker Program
The Fullerton City Jail offers a Work Furlough and a Pay to Stay Program for individuals given the opportunity to serve their sentence in an alternate sentencing program. This is a fee-based program available to qualified men who have been convicted and sentenced to serve time in a city jail. The Work Furlough Program is an opportunity for men to work or attend school in the community while serving their sentence at night and on weekends. Checkout times are established for morning releases and return for the evening check-in is based on the individual sentence. Times are normally between 6:00 A.M. and 8:00 A.M. with a return time of 12 hours later. Pay-To-Stay Inmate Worker Program is an alternative to serving a sentence in County Jail. With the permission of the sentencing Court, men may select to serve their sentence in the Fullerton City Jail as inmate workers. Sentences are served on consecutive days, to include weekends. Both Work Furlough and Pay-To-Stay Inmates are housed separate from all other inmates and will have minimal contact with non-sentenced inmates. Work Furlough and Pay-To-Stay Inmates assist with minor chores during their stay. These chores include cleaning, laundry, trash removal, etc. Applicants to these programs that are unwilling or unable to follow the rules and instructions given by the jail staff will be dismissed from the program. The Fullerton City Jail is limited in size and ability to house all types of inmates. Due to these limitations, we do have some restrictions. In order to ensure that we are able to meet the inmate needs, all applicants need to submit an application, complete a medical questionnaire, and be interviewed prior to receiving approval to enroll in one of our programs. Once an application is received, the Jail Supervisor will contact the applicant and schedule an interview to discuss the program. The Work Furlough or Pay-To-Stay Programs cost $100.00 for the first two days and $75.00 for each subsequent day for the remainder of the sentence. Accepted applicants will be required to make the first week’s payment prior to starting their sentence. Inmates that have sentences beyond one week will be required to make payments the 1st and 15th of each month until all payments are collected. Once the sentence is successfully completed and all the payments are collected, the inmate will received a letter of completion. If you are interested in applying for the Work Furlough or Pay-To-Stay Programs, contact the Jail Supervisor at 714.738-6722.
