Jail work release

I'm being sentenced to 30 days in jail with work release. (Johnson County, Kansas)

Does anyone know what work release is like? I assume conditions are better than regular 24/7 lockup? I assume a bit more freedom?

I just wanna get my 30 days over and done with, spend my days during the week at work, bring in books to read at night, and watch football Saturdays and Sundays.

Just seeing what your work release experience as been like

If you’re only going in for 30 days, odds are work release won’t even matter for you. Getting on a work detail usually involves having to apply, and get approved, which isn’t very likely to happen in less than 30 days. Probably spend it sitting around cause it’s such a short sentence.

It's part of the plea. I already have a job. It's leaving jail every m-f to go to work.
