Weekender Jail Program
People who are convicted of a misdemeanor crime and sentenced to jail may serve their time in a city jail instead of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department jail, if authorized by the sentencing judge. For people convicted of certain non-violent crimes, Burbank Police Department's Weekender Program provides the option of serving those sentences in a relatively small, new, clean and local jail. The cost to serve time in Burbank is $90 per day, with an initial $90 deposit that is applied to the last day of the scheduled time to be served. The participant must show evidence of a recent negative T.B. test.
Registration for the program is Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. At that meeting, a schedule will be developed for the amount of jail time that is specified by the court. Depending on the participant's schedule, days can be served on either weekends or weekdays. As a sample schedule, a person with a Monday-Friday daytime job could keep working and still serve a sentence of up to 16 days in one month of weekends. There would be check in by 7:00 PM each Friday and a release by 7:00 PM the following Monday, with credit for four days jail time (Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday).
