Compare and contrast indeterminate and determinate sentencing. What are the pros and cons of each?
What will be an ideal response?
Indeterminate sentences have no specific amount of time provided upon which offenders are released from custody. Rather, a minimum and maximum amount of time is awarded, and, based on offenders’ treatment progress, they are released prior to the maximum duration of their sentence once rehabilitative efforts have been determined a success. Determinate sentencing has a minimum and maximum amount of time spent in prison/incarcerated.
