RE: ADOPTION OF POLICY FOR ACCEPTING INDIVIDUALS SENTENCED FROM
OTHER JURISDICTIONS INTO THE WORK RELEASE PROGRAM AND
INCORPORATION OF SAID POLICY INTO THE ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County,
Colorado, pursuant to Colorado statute and the Weld County Home -
Rule Charter, is vested with the authority of administering the
affairs of Weld County, Colorado, and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County,
Colorado, deems it advisable to adopt a policy concerning
accepting individuals sentenced from other jurisdictions into the
Work Release Program operated by the Weld County Sheriff' s
Department , and to incorporate said policy into the Administrative
Manual.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County
Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, that the following policy
be, and hereby is, adopted:
POLICY FOR ACCEPTING INDIVIDUALS SENTENCED
FROM OTHER JURSIDICTIONS INTO THE
WELD COUNTY JAIL WORK RELEASE PROGRAM
As a general practice , accepting individuals into the
Work Release Program sentenced from other jurisdictions
is discouraged. However, in order to promote positive
relationships with other law enforcement agencies and
the community, these individuals can be accepted at the
Work Release Supervisor' s discretion and only under the
following conditions:
1. Travel to the place of business from the Weld
County Sheriff' s Office must not exceed 60 miles
and this distance must be equal to or less than
half the distance that the individual would be
required to travel if he were traveling from the
jail at the other jurisdiction .
(NOTE: This will preclude a situation where WCSO
accepts a person from Colorado Springs who works in
Denver. Since the distance to the job site from
either jail is the same, there would be no
advantage to this arrangement. Also, problems of

supervision due to lengthy travel to job site would
be limited. )
2. Space must be available in the Work Release
Program.
3. a. The sentencing Judge and the Sheriff' s Office
at the other jurisdiction involved must agree
that if the individual is removed from the
program because of an infraction or failure to
pay fees, the individual will be transported
to the jail in the original jurisdiction to
finish his mittimus. This condition must be
stated on the mittimus before the individual
will be accepted into the program.
b. The Work Release Supervisor will be
responsible for coordinating this aspect of
the agreement with the court and the other law
enforcement agency.
4. a. In order to recover the cost of housing an
inmate from another jurisdiction, Work Release
fees will be $100 . 00 per week , to be paid as
follows: $200 . 00 on day of entry into the
program (of which $100 . 00 applies to first
week and $100 . 00 applies to last week of
program) , and $100 . 00 every week thereafter
until total fees are paid up. Failure to pay
fees will result in removal from the program.
b. Adhering to a payment schedule such as this
will ensure that an individual always has Work
Release fees paid up to a minimum of one week
in advance. If an individual is removed from
the program due to a rule infraction or
failure to pay fees, any money that has been
paid in advance will not be refunded.
Instead, money paid in advance will be used to
defray the cost of transporting the individual
back to the Sheriff' s Office at the original
jurisdiction.
5 . In order to limit supervision problems, individuals
who have employment that requires frequent travel,
irregular hours, or no established place of
861092

business where supervisor or the individual can be
contacted, will not be accepted.
6 . Individuals accepted must comply with all other
WCSO regulations as described in the inmate
handbook and the Work Release rules.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners
that the above-stated policy shall be incorporated into the
Administrative Manual and published by the Director of Finance and
Administration for dissemination to all County Departments.
The above and foregoing Resolution was, on motion duly made
and seconded , adopted by the following vote on the 17th day of
November, A.D. , 1986 .
