COMMUNITY LIVABILITY Inmate work crews contributed a total of 3,500 hours of labor,

resulting in a cost savings of $86,415* for the community in 2017
Washington County’s uncommon collaboration among justice system partners has led to many
system-wide solutions to jail overcrowding over the years. Specialized programs allow us to hold
inmates accountable, reduce forced releases, and still ensure jail beds are available to meet the court’s
needs. Forced releases are most often caused by factors beyond the jail’s control, such as orders from
the court or an increase in probation and post-prison supervision sanctions. By working together, we
can find solutions that keep our system strong and viable.

The Inmate Work Program (IWP) and Work In Lieu of Jail (WILOJ) are two programs dedicated to
providing community services completed by inmates as efficiently as possible. Participants in IWP
are lodged in the jail and perform services as inmate workers while WILOJ consists of individuals
completing work as an alternative to incarceration. Qualified and carefully screened inmates serve
time on these projects that have a huge impact on the livability in our communities.

These priority projects include clean-up efforts directed at improving local community parks,
waterways, schools, reducing roadway pollution, county facilities and creating safe walking pathways * Based on the Independent Sector’s release of new value of volunteer time @ $24.69 per hour on April 19, 2018
for school students. https://independentsector.org/news-post/value-of-volunteer-time-release/
