What Is Work Release/Home Arrest?

If you are sentenced to serve a jail sentence, the court has the discretion to allow you work release from the jail. You may be required to serve one or two days in jail prior to your release taking effect. Although the statutes provide for home arrest, the courts do not have a system in place to allow for it.
