§ 3902. Declaration of policy.
The General Assembly finds and declares as follows:
(1) The Commonwealth recognizes the severe problem of overcrowding in correctional institutions
and understands that overcrowding is a causative factor contributing to insurrection
and prison rioting.
(2) The Commonwealth also recognizes that the frequency of convictions responsible for
the dramatic expansion of the population in correctional institutions is attributable
in part to the increased use of drugs and alcohol.
(3) The Commonwealth, in wishing to salvage the contributions and dedicated work which
its displaced citizens may someday offer, is seeking to explore alternative methods
of incarceration which might serve as the catalyst for reducing criminal behavior.
