Assume that you have just been sentenced to prison for your very first felony– an Aggravated Robbery.
You have no prior convictions, so your criminal history score is 0.
Determine the number of months you would serve in the sentencing guidelines (in Figure 4.4 of the text), and then compare that with an indeterminate sentence of 1-10 years in prison. How many months would you serve? Look not only at the minimum and maximum time, but also on the actual time served based on what early release options are available and what would be required by you to get released early (if at all).
Discuss what a determinate/guidelines sentence with supervised mandatory release would mean vs. an indeterminate sentence with the option for discretionary parole. Which would you prefer, and why?

Directions:Each student will write a research paper on a topic of their choice; however, the research paper should focus on some aspect of cultural factors and substance use and treatment in the criminal justice system. Examples of topics for the research paper include:
* Specific factors related to substance abuse treatment for incarcerated women.

Journal articles should be relatively recent (past 5 years), although some older articles may be used for contextual or background information. Besides the five peer-reviewed journal articles, additional citations may be included, such as a scholarly book. Citations from websites, podcasts, television news, blogs, etc. are generally not appropriate for an academic research paper.
The required readings for this course will likely be a good place for you to begin your paper, to generate ideas, or even to cite in your paper.
