A quick definition of consolidated sentence:
A consolidated sentence is a type of punishment given by a court to someone who has been found guilty of a crime. It means that instead of getting separate punishments for each crime they committed, they get one big punishment for everything. This is not allowed in some places because it can be unfair. There are many other types of sentences, like going to jail for a certain amount of time or doing community service. Some sentences can be changed if the person behaves well or follows certain rules.A more thorough explanation:
A consolidated sentence is a type of general sentence that is given in a multicount case where the punishment for each count is not specified. General sentences are not allowed in some jurisdictions.
For example, if a defendant is found guilty of three counts of theft, instead of giving a specific punishment for each count, the judge may give a consolidated sentence of five years in prison for all three counts combined.
This type of sentence is used when the judge wants to simplify the sentencing process and avoid giving multiple sentences for each count. However, it can be controversial because it does not provide a clear punishment for each individual count.
