Answer to Question 1

Answers may vary

Answer to Question 2

 Prison construction and overcrowding have led to a search for intermediate punishments.
 Economic reality dictates that cost-effective measures be developed, and this is motivating the development of intermediate sanctions. A real alternative to incarceration must have three elements to be effective: It must incapacitate offenders enough so that it is possible to interfere with their lives and activities to make committing a new offense extremely difficult; it must be unpleasant enough to deter offenders from wanting to commit new crimes; and it has to provide real and credible protection for the community.
