Any person who has been committed to the Mobile County Jail under a criminal sentence may be released therefrom at any time by order of the Circuit Court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit or district court. Such release shall be for the purpose of obtaining and working at gainful employment or for such other purpose as the court may deem conducive to his or her rehabilitation and shall be for such time or intervals of time and under such terms and conditions as the court may order. Unless otherwise provided by the court, any part of a day spent outside of jail under such a release order shall be counted as a full day toward the serving of the sentence. If a person violates the terms and conditions imposed by the court for his or her conduct, custody, and employment, he or she shall be returned to the sentencing court. The sentencing court may then require that the balance of the person’s sentence be spent in actual confinement and may cancel any earned reduction of his or her term.
