text: i didnt finish my work release how do i avoid jail?   you knew the consequences of the "work release" when you were put on it.  so why ask now how to avoid going to jail when you knew you would if you didn't finish your work release?  you can't avoid jail.  they trusted you to keep up your end of the bargain and you betrayed their trust.  you made the choice not to follow through with your responsibilities, now you have to pay for it in another way.
