Those interested in applying for the Inmate Worker Program must obtain a court order and have to serve their sentence on consecutive days. Inmates participating in the program are separated from other inmates and may assist with light cleaning, laundry, trash removal and other chores at the facility.
Inmates wishing to participate in the Pay-To-Stay program must submit an application, medical questionnaire, pass a Tuberculosis test and be interviewed prior to acceptance. Applications can be faxed to the Huntington Beach City Jail at (714) 536-5698. Those released for work furlough will be required to wear a GPS tracking device and must have a court order stating the specific times and dates of release for work.
