definition of Community Sentencing Director?
816435
I guess that would be the Judge since he is the only government official who can impose a sentence for a crime. If your area has some type of diversion or community service program, perhaps the person sentenced is referred to some type of director who ensures that the Judge's order is carried out.

I have never heard the term "central punishment" before, nor could I find any reference to it.  Can you give more details or explanation?  The previous posting certainly seems like a possibility - a set punishment for a given misbehavior (for example, the exact same punishment for stealing) without considering individual circumstances.   But I couldn't find any source that suggested that definition.

Local parks, and such are great places to do some community service, just contact the person you need to do them for and ask them what options are available. i was on 20 hours mandatory community service for a probation violation and i worked at the salvation army though, most of the people working there also were doing it because of that.

If I am not mistaken, you are assigned a probation officer for a certain period of time and must meet with him/her regardless of whether your community service is completed or not.  You have no options if you don't want to get in even more serious trouble.

Caveat:  I am not licensed to practice in Mississippi and therefore, this should not be construed as legal advice.  For specific advice, you need to consult an attorney in Mississippi.\n\nIt appears that he was convicted on both counts, from what  you have stated.  Different states have different rules relating to sentencing and how it is done.  In some states, notably the southern states, the sentence is either left completely up to the discretion of the judge, (within statutory minimums and maximums) or is decided by the jury itsself.  For possession with intent to deliver and conspiracy, two five year sentences, to be served concurently, is not out of line with most states.  In fact, in some cases, the sentences could be much longer.  At the Federal level, for instance, the amount of drugs involved can factor into sentencing, as well as a whole host of other things.\n\nYou need to contact an attorney locally who can assist you in evaluating the sentence and can advise you on any recourse.  For a referral, contact your local or state bar association.

a 5 year suspended sentence means that they have been found guilty of the offence. they they are given no specifit punishment for the offence. but if within the five year period, they reoffend they can at that time be sentenced to a time of imprisonment. I live in canada and i'm not 100% sure of what CAP refers to, but my guess it means a controlled apparatis probation. They could be forced to wear an ankle bracelet that records their movements about the community.

Two out of five ain't bad, I guess.\n\nProbation is part of a sentence, so it starts when you are sentenced.  When it ends, is largely up to you.  Some folks seem to want to drag it on forever.

We need some more information to be able to answer... what is the jurisdiction? Most sentencing laws are at the state level, and we would need to know what state you are in to be able to look into it.\n\nI can find no law anything like what you refer to. Even if there were, it doesn't sound like your husband's case would apply, because time served for one crime is NEVER applied to a sentence for another, unless a sentence specifically says that the two convictions are to be served concurrently.

Anyone who sentences a sexual offender to anything but a very long(preferably life) sentence needs to be off the bench. But giving someone who molested a child probation ? Disgusting.\n\nAnd he has a few DUI's to boot.

It all depends on the individual case.  Usually a probation officer will file a pre-sentence report before sentencing.  They will also discuss sentencing ranges with the prosecution.\n\nMany factors are involved in sentencing.  First you must consider the mandatory sentencing guidelines for that jurisdiction.  Next, the severity and type of crime, and whether it is a repetative offense is considered.  Eventually it gets down to the defendant's history, ties to the community, work history, etc. \n\nA big factor also, is whether the person has ever failed to appear in court or even court ordered appointments.  The more often the defendant forgets to appear the less likely they will remain out of jail.`

The case is actually A03-1898 in the Minnesota Supreme Court, not the 8th circuit (which is a federal court). The full opinion is at the site below. In it, they argue that whether or not a defendant is a repeat offender for the purposes of enhancing a sentence is a finding of fact, and thus must be determined by a jury, not a judge.
