indeterminate sentencing  

Définition

  • Indeterminate sentences operate when judges assign convicted offenders to terms of imprisonment identified only as a range—such as from one to five years—rather than naming a specific time period. In this context, indeterminacy refers to the unknown ultimate amount of the penalty (length of time) at sentencing.
