Request a Sentence To Serve Work Crew

Sentence to Serve Work Crews are available to non-profit organizations only.

Offenders are carefully screened prior to assignment to a Sentencing to Service work crew. Professional crew leaders — many with degrees in landscaping, gardening and forestry — maintain a safe work environment and hold offenders accountable as they fulfill court-ordered obligations.

1. Gather your information

If you are a nonprofit or government organization and you have a project you would like us to do, here is what you need to know:

  • We charge $100 per day for 1 crew
  • Crew sizes vary depending on the size of the project, but average about 8 detainees and one leader
  • Detainees on the crew are classified as low risk offenders

2. Complete the form

Referral Agency:

Status message

All County/State/City/Federal or Non Profit Agencies are billed $100.00 per day for each crew leader needed to accomplish the proposed project. Olmsted County Facilities are not charged.
