Authorized sentences in North Carolina must fall within certain constitutional limitations; the types of sentences include quasi-sentences, fines and costs, probation, and active prison or jail terms. Sentencing procedures are based on plea bargaining, standard sentencing information, the Fair Sentencing Act which governs felony sentences, and guidelines for sentences for impaired driving. Other sections of this book cover modifications and corrections to sentences; execution of prison sentences; the administration of probation, parole, fines, and quasi-sentences; and other post-conviction matters relating to firearms laws, loss and restoration of citizenship rights, and expunction of records.
