Determinate v. Indeterminate Sentencing (POST)

Watch the short video in the link above.  This is specifically geared toward NY, but the general idea of determinate sentencing versus indeterminate sentencing is the same.

Then briefly describe each type of sentencing.

What’s the advantage and disadvantage of each?

Might inmates be more motivated to work on self-improvement such as rehab, job training, counseling, etc., in prison with one type of sentencing over the other? Why?

Now do more research on the issue (and share your sources, at least 2) and tell us which type of sentencing you believe is more fair and effective.
