The Day Custody Program (DCP) is an alternative sentence for individuals with repeat misdemeanor offenses. Participants serve three days of intermittent imprisonment during normal work hours, returning to their homes at night. During that time, they perform community service and receive needs assessments and substance abuse education. Upon completion, CASES provides participants with a discharge plan consisting of referrals to community-based organizations according to their specific needs.
