Indeterminate Sex Crimes in Colorado| Greeley Sex Crimes Lawyer
In Greeley, Colorado, if you're a sex offender, or have been convicted of a sex offense, you may be sentenced to Indeterminate Sentencing at the Colorado Department of Corrections. An Indeterminate Sentence is when a person is sentenced to a prison minimum time in custody, like 2 years, and after that minimum is served, the rest of their time will be up to the parole board to decide. A person convicted with an Indeterminate Sentence could serve out the rest of their life in prison or just a few years. It all depends on how the parole board views them, and if they believe that person is a threat or danger to society. A second option in some circumstances is for the judge to sentence a sex offender to an indeterminate sentence of SOISP probation. SOISP stands for Sex Offender Intensive Supervised Probation. This is a more strict and rigid probation than regular non-sex probation.
