  1. D.


  2. if it were prison it would be time served and parole but because it is jail it is time served and probation until they do something else and then they have to do at least half of whats left until the next time then they do the whole thing and some.

  3. D)  Indeterminate sentence

    in law, term of imprisonment with no definite duration within a prescribed maximum. Eligibility for parole is determined by the parole authority. In this respect, an indeterminate sentence differs from a definite one in that statutes prescribing the latter usually provide for parole eligibility after a specified fraction of the full term—in most countries, from one-half to two-thirds of the original sentence.

  6. D) and indeterminate sentence, because you don't know whether it's 1 year or 3 years...or somewhere in between.

  7. None of the above.  You are describing the parameters of the sentence.  For example: he might get

    1.  One year, no probaton to follow

    2.  One year suspended for time served; followed by one year probation

    3.  He could be given 1 year jail time and then after 6 months be released for good time on parole for the duration of the sentence.
