At the Contra Costa Co-Custody Alternative Facility (CAF), inmates with good behavior have access to traditional jobs in the public sector during the day. The program offers varying degrees of freedom, some even allowing prisoners to work during the week and return home, serving their sentences on only weekends. Depending on the terms (which change from time to time), inmates may reside in a halfway house or under home confinement when not working. As they near their release date, residents may transition to reintegration programs, with potential offers of full-time employment upon full release.
Work release program initiatives have proven benefits, including increased employment opportunities post-release, accelerated job acquisition, higher post-release earnings, and reduced recidivism rates among participants. Contra Costa CAF is committed to empowering inmates with skills and opportunities for successful reentry into society.
The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff is committed to a robust and progressive custody alternative program that provides alternatives to traditional incarceration while ensuring public safety. The Custody Alternative Facility (CAF) programs provide for public safety, maintain judicial confidence, and at the same time allow the offender to be contributing members of society while fulfilling their court-ordered sentences.
