TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART III--PRISONS AND PRISONERS
CHAPTER 315--DISCHARGE AND RELEASE PAYMENTS
Sec. 4282. Arrested but unconvicted persons
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.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 856; Pub. L. 98-473, title II,
Sec. 207, Oct. 12, 1984, 98 Stat. 1986.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 746a (July 3, 1926, ch.
795, Sec. 2, as added June 21, 1941, ch. 212, 55 Stat. 254).
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).
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.
Changes were made in phraseology and surplusage omitted.
Amendments
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''.
Admission of Alaska as State

Stat. 339, set out as notes preceding section 21 of Title 48,
Territories and Insular Possessions.
