NJ to hold fugitive safe surrender days in April

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - April 2, 2012

The four-day program will start April 21, then resume from April 23-25 at Grace Assembly of God Church in Atlantic City. The event will be staged from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, with cases being adjudicated at temporary courtrooms a few blocks away.

The program is open to those wanted for nonviolent crimes or disorderly person offenses, including family matters and child support. It's not an amnesty program, but does offer favorable consideration from the court, often in the form of reduced fines or probation instead of jail time.
