Authorities say non-violent offenders in Bay Minette, Ala. now have a new choice: Go to jail, or go to church every Sunday for a year.

The city judge will let misdemeanor offenders choose to work off their sentences in jail and pay a fine; or go to church every Sunday for a year.

If offenders select church, they will be allowed to pick the place of worship but must check in weekly with the pastor and the police department.

If the one-year church attendance program is completed successfully, the offender's case will be dismissed.

I think for those crimes its a good option keep the jail population down save tax money and possibly save a soul. I mean they get to choose and choose which place of worship so it can be whatever faith I presume.

Can I go to church instead of paying my taxes?

I mean, if I can go to jail for not paying my taxes, it cuts out the middleman right there and saves the system loads of money.

This is still fucking stupid.

If there are too many people in jail stop putting so many people in jail for fucking stupid ass reasons.

The likely hood of that is probably low but even if they are the frequency of attendance is probably low so this would be mandatory and 52 straight weeks
I can see the likelihood of them being frequent attenders as being low, given low church attendance in general, but the likelihood of them being a person of faith is very high.
