Explain and provide one example of determinate sentencing and indeterminate sentencing.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary, but key points include: Determinate sentencing is when the
offender is sentenced to a specific term. While the law may allow for an offender to be
released early due to good-time credits, these releases are incorporated into the law.
This means that there is no opportunity for an early release based on the behavior of
the offender, also known as parole. : Indeterminate sentencing practices generally set a
minimum sentence length. The maximum sentence is reflected in the laws set forth by
the legislature, though a judge may set a maximum sentence that is lower than the legal
provision
