(a) The purpose of this subpart is to promote the rehabilitation of offenders and, insofar as possible, to provide for the Houston County Temporary and Work Release and Pretrial Program and to make the program self-supporting.
(b) A person released from jail for work release, as a condition to being released pursuant to this subpart, shall pay to the county a sum equal to 30 percent of his or her gross earnings earned while so released. The court having jurisdiction of the case, as a condition to releasing a prisoner, may require that the inmate prisoner establish a payroll deduction for the payment of any sums due. All sums collected, whether by payroll deduction or otherwise, shall be paid over to and collected by the Houston County Commission and deposited to a separate fund designated the Houston County Work Release and Pretrial Release Fund.
(c) If a person violates the terms and conditions set for the payment of the 30 percent of his or her gross earnings earned while so released, he or she shall be returned to the sentencing or committing court. The court may then require that the balance of the person’s sentence or time of commitment be spent in actual confinement and may cancel any earned reduction of his or her term.
