Sheriff Office Inmate Community Work Program Saved County Over $57,000

The Richland County Sheriff Office says their Inmate Community Work Program has saved the county more than $57,000.  Throughout the course of 2016, nineteen men participated in the program and logged 3,480 work hours.  At a conservative $15 per hour, this equates to work valued at more than $57,000.  The work these men do frees township and county workers to work on other projects.


Officer Keith Witzky, Inmate Community Works Officer, has worked in the Sheriff’s Inmate Community Work Program for seventeen years. He sincerely believes in the value of this program and appreciates the support of Sheriff J. Steve Sheldon and others in the county who make the Work Program a “win-win” for the inmates who participate and the community we serve.
