fixed sentence

Read a random definition: nocumentum

A quick definition of fixed sentence:

A fixed sentence is the punishment given to someone who has been found guilty of a crime by a court. It can be a certain number of years in prison or a different kind of punishment like community service. There are different types of fixed sentences, like a sentence for a specific number of years or a sentence that is served on weekends. Some sentences can be changed if the person behaves well, but others are mandatory and cannot be changed.

A more thorough explanation:

A fixed sentence is a judgment that a court formally pronounces after finding a criminal defendant guilty. It is the punishment imposed on a criminal wrongdoer. For example, a sentence of 20 years in prison is a fixed sentence.

There are different types of fixed sentences:

  • Determinate sentence: A sentence for a fixed length of time rather than for an unspecified duration. For instance, a sentence of 10 years in prison is a determinate sentence.
  • Mandatory sentence: A sentence set by law with no discretion for the judge to individualize punishment. For example, a mandatory sentence of 5 years in prison for a particular crime.
  • Death sentence: A sentence that imposes the death penalty. For instance, a death sentence for a convicted murderer.

These examples illustrate how a fixed sentence is a specific punishment that a court imposes on a criminal defendant after finding them guilty of a crime. The type and length of the sentence depend on the severity of the crime and the laws of the jurisdiction.
