People are sentenced to prison for four basic reasons: rehabilitation, incapacitation, to be deterred, and to pay for their crimes. In recent years, the predominance of the goal of rehabilitation has come under sustained and persuasive attack. By far the most important rehabilitation program in North Carolina is work release, which allows prisoners to work in the community by day and return to prison after work.
