Arrest and Probation

Arrested? Now what? Bridgeway's Probation Services assists people arrested for misdemeanor crimes to complete court-ordered requirements while serving probation sentences.

Probation Services provides alternatives to long-term incarceration.Some people arrested for misdemeanor crimes appear before a judge to enter a “plea” to their criminal offense.  As a result of adjudication, many of these people are placed on supervised probation instead of being sent to jail or even prison.  

Bridgeway Center Inc. has been in business for over 40 years, assisting people with behavioral modification techniques to allow them every opportunity to successfully complete court ordered requirements while serving a probation sentence.
