   Press Release – For Immediate Release  

Sussex County Sheriff Robert E. Untig announces the following annual statistics for the Sheriff’s Labor Assistance Program (S.L.A.P.):  

The Sheriff’s Labor Assistance Program (S.L.A.P.) was created by Sheriff Untig in 1994 to serve as an alternative to inmates being incarcerated.  Instead of stagnantly sitting in the correctional facility, persons convicted of crimes are given the alternative of performing community service.  Inmates must apply to the program and sentencing is left to the discretion of the Judge, with approval from Municipal or County Prosecutors .  If accepted, inmates work on projects for Sussex County communities and non-profit organizations, which include activities such as road, school, park and cemetery clean-ups and painting, as well as set-up and dismantling for community events.  The program has been highly successful.  Sheriff Untig would like to recognize both the officers that supervise the program and the inmates for their efforts.  

In 2006, a total of 319 individuals were sentenced to the program, with 227 completing their Court-ordered time.  In addition to the community service, Judges may also impose fines and a total of $35,662.00 was collected from these individuals.  104 different projects were undertaken in 20 Sussex County communities.   

The S.L.A.P. program participates in Adopt-A-Highway efforts, cleaning the shoulders of 26 Sussex County roads.  In 2006, inmates spent 4,277 hours cleaning 263 miles of highway.  1,559 bags of trash were collected, which weighed a total of 25,082 pounds.
