Part III Descriptive Assessment

Notes: This section examines two categories of sentences:

• Category 1 - Discretionary - Those in which total points on the scoresheet are less than 44. The Criminal Punishment Code allows for a non-state prison sanction for offenders in this range.

• Category 2 - State Prison - Those in which total points exceed 44, for which the Criminal Punishment Code mandates state prison as the sanction, unless the sentence is mitigated.

Actual sanctions imposed, including state prison, community control, probation, county jail/time served, and other sanctions are presented and compared to the categories listed above.

FINDINGS:

• Across the state, 14% of offenders were sentenced to state prison as the most severe sanction. An additional 26.7% were sentenced to incarceration in county jail, or to time already served in jail. Almost 8% were sentenced to community control, and over 51% to probation, including drug offender probation, administrative probation, and regular probation. Less than a half of a percent of offenders were sentenced to "other" sanctions (Table 1).

• Eight out of ten of the 36,818 Code scoresheets examined scored in the discretionary range (Table 2). These scoresheets represent sentencing events where the judge has the discretion to sentence the offender to either a non-state prison sanction or a state prison sanction. If the judge chooses to sentence the offender to state prison, the judge has the discretion to sentence the offender up to the statutory maximum of the law.

• Of the offenders scoring in the recommended state prison category, over 54% were sentenced to state prison, with another 14.1% sentenced to county jail or time served. Of those in the discretionary category, just over 5% were sentenced to state prison, and another 29% to county jail/time served (Table 1).

• Table 3 presents the scoring distribution of offenders under the Code by the circuit and sanction imposed. Circuit 11 (Miami) shows the highest percentage of scoresheets scoring to the state prison sanction at 92.6% and Circuit 4 (Jacksonville) has the lowest percentage of state prison scoring offenders under the Punishment Code (56.0%).

• Incarceration rates vary greatly by county and circuit. Jail sanctions also vary greatly depending on number of beds available and judicial inclination to use the jail sanction. Table 4 presents the distribution of sanction imposed by circuit and county. Although variance in sentencing does exists at the circuit and county level based on the judge involved, variability in the statistics presented in this table could also be as a result of differences in the type of offenders being sentenced around the state. There are also very small numbers of scoresheets for some of the counties listed in this table. The incarceration rates for counties with less than 100 scoresheets could possibly be misleading.

• A true mitigation occurs when an offenders scores more than 44 total points and either receives a non-state prison sanction or a state prison sentence length below the 25% permissible discretion existing within the Code policy. A sanction mitigation occurs when an offender scores more than 44 total points, but receives an non-state prison sanction.

• The true mitigation rate for offenders that scored more than 44 total points is 57.4%. The sanction mitigation rate (cases that scored to state prison but received a non-state prison sanction) was 45.3% (Table 8).

• For the 795 offenders that received a mitigated prison sentence length, the average reduction in sentence was 23.6 months (Table 8).
