Contrast indeterminate with determinate sentencing.
What will be an ideal response?
? Penal codes with indeterminate sentences set a minimum and maximum amount of time that a person must spend in prison. The prisoner is eligible for parole as soon as the minimum time has been served.? Determinate sentencing involves a fixed period of incarceration. The prisoner serves exactly the amount of time to which he or she was sentenced (minus good time).
