supervised release programs?
The work furlough, home detention, and supervised
release programs are generally Los Angeles County
Probation Department programs.
Individuals must meet all GR eligibility
requirements, including employable requirements if
employable, to receive benefits. If the program
requires the individual to pay, potential
income/resources must be explored.
Are individuals in work furlough programs
eligible to GR?
No, inmates in this program are not eligible to GR
as they are employed and have other resources for
support. Work furlough is a program in which an
individual is committed to County jail, but serves
his/her sentence in a private facility (e.g.,
SCAPULAR House) and leaves the facility to go to
work or school. The inmate must apply for this
program and pay a fee based on a sliding scale
(may be $0 to $35+ per day).
Verification: Administrative staff verify
participation in this program by calling (626) 308-
5591.
NOTE: Inmates paced by court order and not
required to pay may be eligible to GR,
dependent on current resources.

day.
These inmates may leave home for acceptable
reasons, such as work, doctor’s appointments, etc.,
but must notify the Probation Department ahead of
time.
