Judges urge broader work release for some felons
Raleigh AP reports that several Superior Court judges want the General Assembly to expand the work release law to include certain felon prisoners. The current law only covers misdemeanants, with a six month prior sentence ineligibility. Only 10 prisoners have been sentenced under the plan, with two removed for misbehavior. Judges cite potential benefits from expanded discretion and note limited facilities in five counties.
