OPINION
JANICE M. HOLDER, Justice.
We granted this appeal to determine whether Tenn.Code Ann. § 41-2-128 authorizes a court other than a general sessions court to grant work release to a defendant convicted of driving under the influence of an intoxicant (DUI), second offense. We hold that Tenn.Code Ann. § 41-2-128 does not permit a circuit court to grant work release to DUI second offenders during the forty-five-day minimum mandatory sentence. The holding of the Court of Criminal Appeals is affirmed. The case is remanded to the trial court for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
