The Worcester County Sheriff’s Department Community Service Program provides cost-free labor by minimum security inmates who have been convicted only of a non-violent offense, are within the final 6 months of their sentence, and have a spotless record while incarcerated. The only cost to the host organization is materials for the project, and lunches for the work crews. Inmates are monitored at all times by an armed Officer, and routinely complete work in many different areas, including: carpentry, demolition, painting, landscaping, snow removal, floor tiling, and much more. We likewise benefit by teaching our inmates a valuable and marketable skill that will reduce recidivism and offer a mean of being productive member of society.
