Definición

  • An indeterminate sentence is a term of imprisonment with no definite duration, only a specified maximum and minimum number of years. The philosophy behind indeterminate sentences is that sentencing should be based on individual circumstances and on the offender's rehabilitation efforts while incarcerated.
