This
is a program, within the Office of the State’s Attorney, which provides
court-ordered community service to governmental agencies and non-profit
and service-oriented organizations.
This
program is an alternative sentencing procedure to assist the Maryland Division
of Parole and Probation in handling non-violent offenders.
Community
service provides an alternative sentencing to judges. It can reduce
the jail population and enable offenders to continue to meet family, employment,
and academic commitments. Community service utilizes work as a rehabilitation
tool and supplies needed manpower to public non-profit organizations and
agencies.
During
fiscal 1997-98 our program has totaled 364 cases, supplying the County
with much needed volunteer help.
