Multi-Site Evaluation of Sentencing Guidelines: Florida and North Carolina: Executive Summary
Publication year:
2000
| Cataloged on:
Oct. 31, 2006
ANNOTATION: The focus of this report is upon "States which instituted (or made significant modifications to) structured sentencing policies in the 1990s and are referred to as 'second generation sentencing commissions' (p. 2)." Inmates in both states are serving more time in prison -- 85% of sentence in Florida (up from 30-55%) and 80% in North Carolina (an increase from 20-30%). Sentencing guidelines will result in increased demand for prison beds.
