Program Capabilities

Program Overview

The Monmouth County Sheriff's Office Inmate Labor Program provides a valuable, cost-effective workforce resource to municipal governments and non-profit organizations throughout Monmouth County. Participants have collectively contributed over 6,000 hours of service across 53 municipalities, resulting in an estimated taxpayer savings of more than $109,000.

Participation is entirely voluntary. Inmates engage in supervised work projects as a constructive alternative to incarceration. Eligibility is limited to individuals serving time for minor offenses who have demonstrated consistent good behavior. All project requests must be initiated by municipal government officials.

Community Impact

Budget-conscious municipalities throughout Monmouth County have turned to the Inmate Labor Program as an innovative solution to maximize taxpayer resources. Under the leadership of Sheriff Shaun Golden, the program has successfully undertaken a wide range of projects — from painting and carpentry to the restoration of a historic Civil War-era cemetery.

Notable contributions include assisting the Public Works Department of Millstone Township, removing beach debris following major storms, and restoring the historic Compton's Cemetery in Middletown.
