§ 4282. Arrested but unconvicted persons\n

On the release from custody of a person arrested on a charge of violating any law of the United States or of the Territory of Alaska, but not indicted nor informed against, or indicted or informed against but not convicted, and detained pursuant to chapter 207, or a person held as a material witness, the court in its discretion may direct the United States marshal for the district wherein he is released, pursuant to regulations promulgated by the Attorney General, to furnish the person so released with transportation and subsistence to the place of his arrest, or, at his election, to the place of his bona fide residence if such cost is not greater than to the place of arrest.

\n(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 856; Pub. L. 98–473, title II, § 207, Oct. 12, 1984, 98 Stat. 1986.)\n\nHistorical and Revision Notes

Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 746a (July 3, 1926, ch. 795, § 2, as added June 21, 1941, ch. 212, 55 Stat. 254).

\n

The phrase “informed against” was inserted in two places in view of the fact that under the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure the use of informations may be expected to increase. See Rule 7(b).

\n

The section was extended to cover a person held as a material witness and unable to make bail. His predicament obviously calls for the relief afforded by the revised section.

\n

Changes were made in phraseology and surplusage omitted.

\n\nEditorial Notes\nAmendments

1984—Pub. L. 98–473 substituted “and detained pursuant to chapter 207” for “and not admitted to bail” and struck out “and unable to make bail” after “held as a material witness”.

\n\nExecutive Documents\nAdmission of Alaska as State
