I can not speak for Sumter County Jail but most jails have a required AA program for those incarcerated on alcohol related offenses. I have a good friend who does a jail ministry in another state and those completing the AA 12 steps received time off their sentence. After they serve their time, it is their choice whether to drink again or not. Alcoholism is not a choice, but to drink or not drink IS a CHOICE.
