Intermediate sanctions include the use of split sentencing, shock probation or parole, shock incarceration, community service, intensive supervision, or home confinement in lieu of other more traditional sanctions, such as imprisonment and fines. Intermediate sanctions have three distinct advantages: 1) They are less expensive to operate per off ender than imprisonment; 2) they are "socially cost-effective" because they keep the offender in the community, thus avoiding both the breakup of the family and the stigmatization that accompanies imprisonment; and 3) they provide flexibility in terms of resources, time of involvement, and place of service.
