You may apply for partial payments by filling out a form. The judge will then make a decision about your payment arrangements. You will sign a court order that will explain the terms of your payments. The maximum jail term that can be imposed for offenses heard in the municipal court is six months. The judge may allow a defendant to serve the sentence on weekends.
Work release is coordinated through the jail's work release administrator.
Juveniles sentenced to jail by the municipal court serve their sentence at the County's Juvenile Detention Facility. You cannot drive for any reason until the period of suspension ends, you have paid your restoration fee, and have received written notification from the Division of Motor Vehicles that your driving privileges have been restored. If your license has been suspended for failure to appear, pay fines, or comply with a condition of your sentence, it generally will not be restored until your case is completed. Conditional or special work licenses are not allowed in New Jersey. Failure to comply with the IDRC guidelines will result in further court action.
