What Is Intermittent Sentencing?

When a participant receives a sentence of 90 days or less, the judge may allow that sentence to be served intermittently on the weekends. Participants serving intermittent sentences report to a designated correctional facility on Friday evenings, to spend the entire weekend in custody. While participants are serving their sentences, they are not contributing to society. Operation Springboard, the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services in cooperation with the John Howard Society have developed a community work program (Intermittent Program) for participants serving intermittent sentences in Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury.
