At the Kern County Work Release Center, 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. Kern Co WRC is committed to empowering inmates with skills and opportunities for successful reentry into society.
The Sheriff’s Work Release Program, established in 1987 under Penal Code Section 4024.2, aims to facilitate the successful reintegration of offenders into society while reducing jail overcrowding. This program offers an alternative to incarceration by providing participants with opportunities for manual labor at various worksites across the County, contributing to their rehabilitation and easing the burden of Assembly Bill 109, Public Safety Realignment, enacted in 2011.
The Work Release Unit oversees approximately 300 participants at any given time, monitoring their activities and progress. With 78 worksites, including 23 contracted locations, participants engage in manual labor under supervision. The program, accommodating over 500 participants, operates seven days a week to support the successful transition of individuals back into the community.
