Inside the Pasadena Jail
 
  
The Pasadena Police Department has a "Fee Paying-Inmate Worker" program
for qualified men and women who have been sentenced to serve time in
jail.
The "Fee Paying-Inmate Worker" program offers an alternative
to serving time in the county jail. Men and women can serve time when
sentenced to jail due to a misdemeanor conviction such as driving under
the influence or a non-drug related case. Subjects with a history of
violent behavior will not be admitted to this program. With the approval
of the sentencing court, your time can be served in the modern, safe,
clean and secure environment of the Pasadena Police Department Jail.
The Pasadena Jail computes sentences on a 24-hour basis (e.g., If
you have 3 days to serve, check in would be at 8 PM on Monday and check
out would be at 8PM Thursday).
There are two ways to serve the sentenced time:
WORK FURLOUGH - With the court permission, subjects
can maintain their work schedule by serving nights in jail. Checkout
times are established for both morning releases and evening returns
to jail. Times are usually between 6-8 PM, with checkouts, twelve hours
later. Special arrangements are made for those working nights or unusual
shifts.
STRAIGHT TIME - Subjects serve their sentences on consecutive
days. This may include weekends. Note: A twenty-four (24) hour period constitutes
one (1) day.
Work Furlough stays are $56.00 per night (Minimum of 12 hours). Straight
Time stays are $79.00 per day (12-24 hours). All fees are payable in
advance and beginning with your first day, you must pay a $40.00 administrative
fee. For example, if you're serving a 48 hours straight time, you will
pay a total of $198. ($40.00 administrative fee and 2 x $79.00 per
day).
"Fee Paying-Inmate Workers" are housed separate from all
other inmates and will have minimal contact with the regular inmate
population, during meal service. Inmate Workers are required by law
to work outside of their cells for a minimum of 4 hours each day. As
a result, you will assist with minor chores such as food preparation,
light cleaning, laundry, trash removal, etc. Subjects who are unwilling
or unable to follow instructions will be dismissed from the program.
The Pasadena Jail cannot accommodate persons with serious medical
problems, requiring the administrative of multiple medications. Subjects
are permitted, one (1) prescription medication, in the original prescription
bottle, providing that the label bears the pharmacy's name, your name,
the type of medication and the required dosage. Persons requiring multiple
medications will not be accepted into this program.
Payment in the form of a cashier's check or money order, photo identification,
one change of undergarments (e.g., a T-shirt, one pair of underwear,
one pair of socks). You may bring your prescription glasses or contact
lenses & solution. Permitted toiletries include, travel-size toothbrush,
toothpaste and deodorant. A pair of shower shoes, which can only be
worn inside the trustee housing unit, one Bible or book. The only permitted
