<p>In the US, the Witness Protection Program is run by the U.S. Marshal's Office. Here's a link to a fact sheet: <a href="http://www.usmarshals.gov/duties/factsheets/witsec-2013.pdf">http://www.usmarshals.gov/duties/factsheets/witsec-2013.pdf</a> If you have problems with the link, just go the the website and look for it under Duties.</p>
<p>You don't have to get someone out of the program. It's voluntary. People can just walk away from it, and do some times.</p>

<p>Protective custody is another thing. That's virtually an arrest of a person to protect them for their own good or the good of the court. That's done at both the local and federal level.</p>

<p>One way is to have them just walk away. Some people grow tired of what they feel is a dull life and leave; there is nothing technically holding most of them.</p>
<p>Others may be tossed out because they've returned to a life of crime, although I know they are usually given a second or third chance depending on how serious the violation. </p>
