The Alternative Service Program places nonviolent offenders in public or private
not-for-profit agencies to work off fines and costs or mandatory community service
hours ordered by the courts. The program serves Prince William General District
and Circuit Courts and the Office of Criminal Justice Services, Virginia Office
of Probation and Parole, U.S. District Court and other courts for Prince William
County residents. This program fills a need in the Prince William area by providing
an alternative for those offenders who cannot afford to pay fines and costs or
have a suspended jail sentence. Clients are interviewed and placed according
to their time availability and location.

Public and Community Service Program (PACS)
Youth

This program is designed to give youth, ages 12 – 17 years, in Prince William County an opportunity to make restitution and to contribute positively to their community. All court ordered juveniles that are referred to the program by the Juvenile Court can obtain help in finding a placement site to complete their court requirements. This sentencing alternative offers constructive work experience for youth with the potential for job training, skill building, improved socialization skills and enhanced self-esteem.
