What if it was rephrased as an indefinite sentence, but a minimum of 21 years?
(If the law doesn't permit a longer minimum, then 21 years is the "maximum sentence" in that there cannot be a longer mandatory period imposed.)
- beerandt 5y agoYeah- I mean I get that's what happening here. It's just weird to me to consider it a "right." I just don't see how it's fundamentally any better than the US system of minimum and maximum sentences, with some possibly some provisions for early parole reviewed every year or two after some portion "X" of the sentence has been served.
