How Does Prison Sentencing Work?
Posted on 9/28/19 at 9:30 pm
Posted on 9/28/19 at 9:30 pm
For example, let's say someone is in prison (or jail) for 8 months before they go to court. The judge gives them 5 years, but they only end up serving less than a year after being sentenced.
How is it determined that that person was sentenced 5 years, but with time served they only stay in prison just over a year? (This is just an example)
When does "good behavior" apply? And let's say this person is a repeat offender for something like... Possession of drugs (let's say schedule 2 or worse)

It’s kind of like welching on a bet.

It all depends on a lot of things.
The PSI from probation officer?
What kind of minimums and maximums the guidelines call for?
Whether or not the sentence (or sentences) should run concurrently or consecutively?
What are the mitigating and aggravating circumstances of the case and the convict's history?
What are the recommendations from the prosecutor, defendant's attorney and the jury if applicable?

Just go away. That brief time while you were banned was glorious.

There are certain release mechanisms written into law in Louisiana which allow for someone to get out if jail.
Here is a simple explanation for state:
Good time- 35 percent for non crimes of violence and non sex offenses
Parole - eligible after 25 percent for non violent non sex offenses
CTRP credits - earn up to 360 days off for "programs"

Sentencing laws differ depending on the state. Federal is it’s own thing too.

People billed under the habitual offender law aren't eligible for good time.
For everyone else, non violent / non-sex crimes, 13 days good time for every days served....or 35%.
For crimes of violence, the good time reduction is 25%.

Depends on the state and if there is parole. Federal sentencing is different. There is no parole and inmates have to serve 85% of their sentence. Although, new changes have been made to Federal sentencing.

Thank you. As well as to everyone else gave legit replies.
So the only sentence that is straight forward is life without parole right?
Remember the guy who was tried as an adult for killing a girl when he was 14-15 yrs old who got out a few years ago & ended up graduating from LSU?
He had life without parole right? But he was released because he was a juvenile tried as an adult? (In that type of situation is that the only way someone who gets life without parole can get out?)

Judge makes determination as to whether juveniles tried as adults are eligible for parole after serving 30 years.

Typically you get credit for time served while waiting trial.
Also in Louisiana it is common to get part of or all of the sentence suspended.

And what determines whether or not a sentence gets suspended?
Posted on 9/28/19 at 9:58 pm to OweO
Good behavior gets 2 or even 3 to 1 in some prisons. There’s also all other sorts of factors like over crowding and other shite.
Is this question one of a thousand that you have written down since being banned that you could have googled?

Mostly it's the judges preference. A few statutes dont allow it but most do.

They wanted something worse than the death penalty, but the sentence of “talking to OweO all day” was ruled cruel and unusual punishment

Between this and the guy asking about IRS investigations... I’m starting to think one of the boards is running another lobster scam.
