"Punishment for some criminals does not end when the jail sentence does. But, authorities created the work release, trustee and home incarceration programs to avoid ruining salvageable lives."

These types of programs are needed in some cases such as those H/O offender who get a mandatory year for driving to work or to the store to pick up some food. Of course, for others it renders jail meaningless. A number of guys work for their brother-in laws' construction company, get picked up and dropped off by their wives every day, and always seems to be calling my office from a place that just doesn't sound like it's outdoors (much less like there is any work going on). The problem is that it is pretty much imposible to know who's in which group and the program is just too important for some clients and their families to do away with.
