About the Androscoggin County Alternative Sentencing Program (ASP)
The Alternative Sentencing
program is a chance for any individual that is found GUILTY of a
non-violent misdemeanor crime, which is not a sex offense, in the
State of Maine, to do their jail time in an alternative way. Instead
of serving your time in a county jail in Maine, you would be
required to do a number of community service tasks in the
Lewiston/Auburn area. These tasks include a variety of indoor and
outdoor activities.
We accept participants
that are sentenced in all Counties in the State of Maine. All courts
will send your information directly to the Programs Director at ACJ.
If you have not received
your informational packet from ACJ, in regards to the ASP within 2
weeks of your sentencing, please contact the Programs Director at
207-753-2576.
***If you were sentenced
in Cumberland County please see the Participation Link. ***
There are two types of individuals in
each program; one the court labels first offenders they serve
roughly 48 hours in the program, and another that is labeled second
offenders they serve 7 days in the program. Being labeled first and
second offenders has nothing to do with your criminal history; it is
about the amount of time the court would like you to serve.
Participants in the program are housed in
a local area, which includes access to showers, sleeping areas, and
an area where meals are served. Please see the Allowance link to
find out what you are allowed to bring to the program.
(Costs) First Offenders $150.00 Second Offenders $400.00
