Work Furlough
A program that allows qualified, sentenced inmates to work in the
community during certain hours, while still serving their court-ordered

requirements and criteria for acceptance into the program. In addition,
Adult Probation selects the inmates who meet the program criteria and
monitors their participation in the program.
Once accepted, inmates must abide by all rules established by Adult
Probation and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. Any inmate found
to be in violation of these rules may be removed from the program by
detention personnel or his or her probation officer. The Work Furlough
program is run by the Maricopa County Adult Probation Department. If
