Abstract:
The traditional way of handling someone who has committed a crime is to place them under arrest and either release him on money bail or keep him in jail until trial. It is being suggested that some of these people not be incarcerated at all. This article examines the alternatives to imprisonment and how changes are effecting current law in North Carolina.
