The Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing was formed in 1978 to establish sentencing guidelines and standards. These have resulted in certain uniform, state wide sentences for certain types of crimes committed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history of a client, a minimum sentence range can be affected by additional details such as:
- Mitigating circumstances — Information the judge may feel lessens the seriousness of the crime
- Aggravating factors — Evidence of actions that make the crime more serious
State College Boot Camp Sentence Attorney Tim Fleming
In Pennsylvania, motivational boot camp is a sentencing alternative to certain types of crimes. This can alleviate or avoid a client having to serve a lengthy state corrections sentence. More than 6,000 young men and women participated in the program from its establishment in 1992 until 2007.
Attorney Fleming has extensive experience as a State College boot camp attorney creating successful legal strategies for youthful offenders who may be eligible for this alternative to state prison. The benefits of boot camp are significant; conditions are not as harsh as prison, and sentences are reduced upon graduation from boot camp.
