At the Montgomery County PA Work Release, 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. Montgomery Co WRF is committed to empowering inmates with skills and opportunities for successful reentry into society.

The Work Release/Community Work Program, established in 1968, has grown significantly, now providing employment opportunities for over 250 sentenced male and female inmates. This program offers minimum-security incarceration, allowing individuals to maintain employment and support their families during their incarceration period. It also assists in paying fines and costs associated with their cases.

All earnings are deposited into the inmate's work release account. Weekly distribution includes room and board expenses (seven days a week), travel and other necessary expenses, fines and costs to the clerk of courts, and an administrative fee. Any remaining balance is disbursed to the inmate weekly.
