The 150 hours of community service Phillip Wannacey received instead of 6 months in jail after being convicted of driving under suspension prevented him from losing everything.
"I would of had a huge income loss. I would of lost my job and everything. I wouldn't have a house to live in," Wannacey said.
Wannacey is one of the many non-violent, low-risk offenders that come through the Cambridge Municipal and receive community service to offset jail sentences or fines.
According to Wannacey, he was able to keep his job and learn time management skills as well.
