Good Law... The N.C.
Criminal Restitution Law
has now been in effect for
about a year and, according
to State Correction’s of
ficials, the program is
running smoothly.
The program, designed as a
means to force criminals to
repay the victims of their
(the criminals) crimes, was
passed by the 1977 General
Assembly.
Program Director Martha
Hobgood is enthusiastic
about the good start.
Basically, the law
provides that when a prison
sentence is imposed, the
sentencing court must
consider the possibility of
having the offender repay
the victim. The restitution is
carried out through wages
earned under work release
during the jail term or as a
condition of parole.
The system is coordinated
and guided by a staff of nine
people including six coun
selors who work with the
courts and the prisoners in
deciding and meeting the
criminal’s obligations.
Initial funding through
September, 1979, is being
made by a grant from the
Federal Law Enforcement

Administration. After that,
however, the state will have
to carry the ball.
Prison officials maintain
that comparison of the
program budget (inflated
Ist year start-up costs:
about $115,000 and the
prisoner’s restitution to
victims ($36,000) is like
comapring apples and
oranges because the
restitutions go to the victims
and the budget goes to the
program.
But such comparisons
shouldn’t bother the officials
since the program costs will
probably drop slightly while
repayments continue to gain
momentum and attention.
Either way, the program
appears to be a definite step
in the right direction and it
might not be too soon for
state budget officers to
begin looking for money to
carry out the law when the
Federal grant ends.
More G00d... Another
instance of money well
spent was reported in
Eastern North Carolina last
week with the inaguration of
a helicopter ambulance
service to transfer patients
in 19 eastern counties.
The program was
designed and implemented
through the cooperation of
EastCarolinaMedSchool,the
N.C. Office of Emergency
Medical Services, and local
officials.
Other isolated areas in the
state should take a closer
look.
Soul City... Her sister
cities are dying but ap
parently North Carolina’s
Soul City will live on at
least for one more year.
U.S. Dept, of Housing and
Urban Development of
ficials are in the process of
closing down 7 of the
original 13 “new towns’’
because of the dismal
failure of the experiment to
create “innovative com
munities” across the nation.
But Soul City and five
others have been given a
reprieve by HUD Sec.
Patricia Harris, because
they have been “judged to
be capable of continued
development with financial
assistance from HUD.”
Vet School... The proposed
N.C. State Veterinary
School recently sidestepped
still another attempt to
delay if not stop the ex
pected 1981 Opening.
