Dan Prozinski: "I do think the 2 hour time required of offenders was far to short. And how was the time clock managed? Did the clock start ticking at the assigned site or did work designation, transportation, tool distribution... all eat away at our 2 hours of pay back? Did we even get two hours?"
BF: Some did 2 hours; some did 4. Some were to be assigned more hours and have to complete their sentence on other days. The judges determined the sentence for each individual based on his or her record. I don't have the details on how many or who was assigned to what. Since these people would be registering at 8 or 9 a.m., get through the meeting with the judge and to the site by 10:30, work til 2:30--we decided that the 4-hour worksites would provide lunch. We allowed this lunch to be "on the clock." At our worksite, the group showed up at about 11:20 or so and worked until 3:30, with a short lunch that we provided. They cleaned up in parking lots, alleys and side streets off Nicollet Mall. I purposely looked this area over on Friday (before the cleanup) and again Monday. It wasn't pristine, but I could see a difference. Brian Fesler Keewaydin TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2.
