Requiring certain probationers to participate in work release program and six months in work release center
This bill requires probationers in West Virginia who have served 10 or more years of their sentence to participate in a work release program and spend six consecutive months in a work release center. It mandates that 70% of the probationer's earnings earned during this six-month period be held in a dedicated account and returned upon successful completion of the program. The bill directly affects long-term probationers (10+ years served) who are under supervision in West Virginia. The policy changes are limited to this specific requirement for long-term probationers, without altering other existing probation conditions.
