Alternatives to Incarcerations

Going to jail, or prison, is a scary prospect, sometimes exposing you to dangerous, hardened, inmates and unsympathetic guards. Sacramento County does have several alternatives, including, Sheriff’s Work Project (SWP), House Arrest, and Community Service.

All three alternatives to jail have eligibility requirements and participation usually require a judge's recommendation.
