The goal of the Pretrial program is to reduce
overcrowding in the Catawba jail system and help move cases through the
courts. The Pretrial program serves Catawba residents who are in the
Newton jail facility or the Burke/Catawba Detention Center in Burke County.
The Pretrial program helps eligible inmates request bond modification
hearings if they have been in jail for 48 hours and can not make bail.
The program also helps inmates wishing to speed up their cases by pleading
guilty and starting to serving their time or be released for time served by
grouping cases together and getting the cases on the court docket.
