Intermediate Sanctions : Range of sentencing options that , ``fall
somewhere between outright imprisonment and simple probationary release
back into the community .
Michael J . Russel , former director of the NIJ says that ``intermediate
punishments are intended to provide prosecutors , judges , and corrections
officials with sentencing options that permit them to apply appropriate
punishments to convicted offenders while not being constrained by the
traditional choice between prison and probation . Rather than
substituting for prison or probation , however , these sanctions , which
include . bridge the gap between those options and provide innovative
ways to ensure swift and certain punishment . - From the introduction to
James Austin , Michael Jones , and Melissa Boylard , The Growing Use of
Jail
Some people argue that intermediate sanctions are the best new approach
to sentencing offenders in the community . Define what experts mean by
`intermediate sanctions ' and what they are designed to do BOTH for
offenders and the CJ system . How do experts justify the need for
intermediate sanctions ? Intermediate sanctions are controversial . Why ?
``Intermediate sanctions ' is a term used for punishments that bridge
the spectrum between prison and probation . They include intensive
supervision probation , work release , house arrest , day fines , asset
forfeiture , restitution , community service , boot camp and , occasionally ,
substance abuse treatment programs . These programs are intended to
provide swift and certain punishment while decreasing the economic
burden of the prison system , and simultaneously helping society feel
that criminals are punished with something more than a slap on the
wrist . They are also intended to provide low risk offenders with the
intervention and assistance that they need in the hopes of reducing
recidivism . Intermediate sanctions also theoretically decrease the risk
that a low level offender will become ``hardened ' during incarceration .
IS is controversial...
