| The
Restitution/Community Service
Program is designed to serve youth that have been ordered by
the Court to perform:
| |
1) community
service hours; |
| |
2) work off court
costs and fines; |
| |
3) work off
restitution to reimburse victims for their losses. |
Unique to the Greene County
Restitution Program is a program structured for probation
youth who are expelled or suspended from school and are
ordered to work in the program. These youth are required to
work in the community service program from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m. during school hours. The advantage of this program is
to alleviate further delinquent acts by youth productively
performing community service work under court supervision.
Youth found delinquent of a felony
offense are also required to work in the program. These
youth are required to work numerous hours of community
service, to pay victim restitution.
The purpose of the program is to
provide assurance to the community that juvenile offenders
will be held accountable for their actions through
involvement in this program.
The
Victim Awareness Program and
Job Readiness Program
are also used with the Restitution/Community Service
Program. |
