Answer to Question 1

Fines are monetary payments imposed on an offender as an intermediate punishment for criminal acts; commonly used in misdemeanors. Forfeiture involves the seizure of goods and instrument related to the commission or outcome of a criminal act; its use was introduced in American law with the passage of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Restitution requires convicted defendants to either repay the victims of crime (monetary restitution) or serve the community to compensate for their criminal acts (community service restitution); It is used in lieu of jail or prison and as a diversionary device; it is inexpensive, avoids stigma, and helps compensate crime victims. Split sentencing includes both prison and/or jail as a condition of probation; shock probation involves resentencing an offender after a short prison stay. Intensive probation supervision (IPS) involves small caseloads of fifteen to forty clients who are kept under close watch by probation officers; goals are diversion, control, and reintegration. Home confinement/house arrest requires convicted offenders to spend extended periods in their own homes as an alternative to incarceration; used in combination with electronic monitoring devices to manage offender obedience to home confinement orders. Residential community corrections programs feature freestanding nonsecure buildings that are not part of a prison or jail and that house pretrial and adjudicated adults; residents regularly depart to go to work, to attend school, and/or to participate in community corrections activities and programs. Boot camps/shock incarceration typically include youthful, first-time offenders and feature military discipline and physical training; short periods (90 to 180 days) of high-intensity exercise and work will shock young criminals into going straight.
