Answer to Question 1

Answer: If an offender is granted bail, this allows him to maintain employment, education and family life that would be diminished or possibly destroyed by being detained in jail. In addition, the hope of bail is for the inmate to maintain societal norms rather than being exposed to a criminal lifestyle in jail.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answer (should include points such as):
Felonies are offenses that are punishable by one year or more in prison. Examples of felonies are murder charges, robbery and rape (answers may vary). Misdemeanors are less serious crimes with punishment of less than one year of incarceration. Often, punishment of misdemeanors results in probation or community service. Examples of misdemeanors are lower level drug charges or prostitution.

Answer to Question 3

Answers: 1) B 2) E 3) A 4) D 5) C
