What are intermediate sanctions? How do they differ from more traditional forms of sentenc-ing? What advantages do they offer?

What will be an ideal response?


• Intermediate sanctions employ sentencing alternatives that fall somewhere between outright imprisonment and simple probationary release back into the community. These sanctions include shock incarceration, intensive probation supervision, and home confinement with remote location monitoring. Intermediate sanctions have three distinct advantages: (1) They are less expensive than imprisonment, (2) they are socially cost-effective because they keep the offender in the community, and (3) they provide flexibility in terms of resources, time of involvement, and place of service.
