In Madison County, local justices and County Court judges can order a convicted person to perform community service if they determine that it is appropriate.
Community service can also be part of a probation sentence as a special condition.
Generally, any agency or organization that provides services to the public, such as a library, fire department, or church, is considered an appropriate site.
Court-ordered community service can be reported back to the court by the offender, or it can be supervised by the local probation department as a condition of an offender's probation sentence.
