OBS

[A Florida] program designed to keep young, mostly first-time offenders from becoming career criminals. Adopting the catchy acronym JASS (pronounced "jazz"), for Juvenile Alternative Sanction System, the program offers more than 7,000 non violent offenders each year a chance to avoid both confinement and an eventual criminal record. Instead, they have to undertake a program of rehabilitation that may include making restitution to their victims.
