Work release is commonly referred to as Huber release privileges.  When a county jail sentence is imposed most courts will allow work release privileges.  Only in very limited cases will the court deny a client Huber release privileges.  However, there are judges in the state that will revoke Huber privileges where the client shows up for his jail sentence with alcohol in his system.

Unfortunately, if the client is sentenced to prison, Huber release privileges will not be allowed.  Furthermore,  I have seen some jails refuse to release clients when the client's job involves serving alcohol.  I have also seen jails refuse to release a client where the job involved driving a vehicle or where the client did not have transportation to his job.
