Freeway Cleanup in an Orange County DUI Case
Alternative sentencing can substitute for jail time in many Orange County DUI cases. One option generally available is freeway cleanup. To understand more about alternative sentences contact a leading Orange County DUI Defense Attorney.
Orange County DUI offenders who participate in freeway cleanup join a Caltrans work crew as a term of probation. Like community service, an Orange County Drunk Driving offender will perform tasks for Caltrans for no pay. In exchange for your work, you will receive credit for those hours worked. In what is known as good time/work time custody credits, hours worked with Caltrans are credited toward the amount of time the defendant normally would have spent in jail.
Working for Caltrans typically entails picking up trash, clearing brush, or removing graffiti from walls along freeways. The day usually begins at 6 a.m. in the parking lot of one of many Caltrans locations, where workers board vans to travel to their work sites. The work day lasts eight hours. Caltrans work is available every day, although weekend slots are in high demand, so it’s important to arrive at the pickup site early to ensure a place in line. This work is not easy, but it’s better than being in jail.
Freeway cleanup is generally offered as a condition of probation. The Orange County DUI offender is given a deadline to complete the required number of hours. If the hours are not completed on time, the offender will have violated the terms of probation. If probation is violated, a judge can revoke probation and order you to serve jail time.
Alternative sentencing options such as freeway cleanup can be an attractive option to jail for a DUI offender. An Orange County Drunk Driving Defense Lawyer can review each case and advise whether alternative sentencing may be an option. Fill out our free online Orange County DUI Defense Case Evaluation now.
