30:8-16.4.  Legislative findings and declarations
    The Legislature finds and declares that in order to more effectively protect  society and promote efficiency and economy in the delivery of correctional  services, there is a need for coordination between State and county  correctional programs.  The coordination which would be enhanced by a financial  assistance program for the construction and renovation of county correctional  facilities, would provide maximum-security incarceration at the State level of  those offenders whose demonstrated propensity to violence requires their  separation from society while at the same time developing viable alternatives  to State confinement for those offenders who can be dealt with more effectively  in county correctional facilities and programs.
