I state that I am 17 years of age or older. I have been sentenced by the Court to the Kent County Work Crew and I acknowledge that this sentence was an option provided to me, so I might avoid incarceration.

If I need safety equipment to perform my tasks, it will be provided by my Work Crew Supervisor.
