Work release in Winchester jail seen as bargain for inmates
Chief Jailer Michele Debari explains that about 70 percent of work release participants are jailed for alcohol offenses and 30 percent for non support. Rules are strict. inmates cannot contact others, cannot drive, must submit to tests, turn wages over, and are transported by authorized parties. The program costs rise and may increase fees, but Debari says it helps keep families together and reduces welfare dependence.
