Articles tagged: Sentencing Alternatives: Caltrans Freeway Cleanup
<< previous page 1 next page>> written by Darren Kavinoky Instead of sitting in the county jail as the result of a DUI conviction, DUI offenders can be sentenced to work on a Caltrans Freeway Cleanup crew as a term of their probation. The number of hours required to work with Caltrans is equal to the number of hours that would have otherwise been spent being incarcerated. This is known as good time/work time custody credits. Every hour spent working for Caltrans counts against the hours that would have otherwise been spent in jail. There is usually a certain length of time that the person is allowed to complete the hours. But if the required hours are not completed in the allotted time, then the court will likely issue a probation violation. It is always in the best interests of the DUI offender to fulfill all terms of probation. << previous page 1 next page>> |
