During 2006, 157 offenders participated in the Community
Service Program. These offenders worked a total of 2,524 hours
at various work sites throughout Sandusky. This program saved our
taxpayers a total of $57,530 which otherwise would have
been spent housing these individuals in jail for 1,046 days.
Our Electronic Monitoring Program helps alleviate jail overcrowding, while providing 24-hour supervision. This saves jail costs and allows low risk offenders to still work and provide for their families as well as pay fines and restitution. This program admitted 52 low risk offenders in 2006. This saved a total of 1,153 jail days, saving the taxpayers $63,415. In total, the Sandusky Municipal Court Probation Department saved the taxpayers $120,945 in 2006.
