If the defendant has a history of violent behavior, the Prosecutor's Office may recommend some jail time. We may recommend that jail be held "subject to review" which means that the defendant will not be placed in jail unless they violate probation. Other times, we will ask for jail time initially if we think the violence was severe enough or the defendant has a history of acting out violently. There are alternatives to jail, including the K-PEP program, electronic tether, and occasionally the jail will allow work release.
