Chapters cover topics such as:
-changes the JRA made to the felony sentencing law in North Carolina,
-changes related to probation, including new limits on a judge's authority to revoke probation,
-the expansion of the conditional discharge available for certain drug offenders under G.S. 90-96,
-changes the JRA made to the rules about the proper place to serve a sentence, and more.

A chart of JRA effective dates and copies of relevant session laws are included as appendixes.
