NEW JERSEY 101.5
Thousands of Garden State residents who are wanted by the law are flocking to Jersey City this week – to participate in Fugitive Safe Surrender.
For four days in November, New Jersey authorities will run a Fugitive Safe Surrender program, giving individuals wanted for non-violent offenses who turn themselves in, favorable treatment from the courts, and the possibility to avoid jail time.
New Jersey law enforcement authorities will hold "safe surrender" days next month, allowing nonviolent offenders with arrest warrants to have their cases resolved quickly, often without jail time.
From Florida to Georgia and throughout New Jersey, over 900 people have turned themselves in as part of the state's fourth and final "Fugitive Safe Surrender" in Atlantic City.
More than 800 people from New Jersey and states as far away as Georgia and Florida have turned themselves in so far during the first two days of the state's "Fugitive Safe Surrender" program, authorities said Monday.
Fugitives from justice in the Garden state have the opportunity to turn themselves in tomorrow - with the promise of getting favorable treatment from the court if they do.
