Question

Recent findings suggest that the use of blended sentences may be ineffective as about ____________ of juveniles who were released early and did not complete their sentence in adult prisons were later rearrested

Answer 1

About fifty percent of the juveniles who were given blended sentence were rearrested if they did not complete the sentence in the adult prison

Explanation:

Blended sentencing refers to the sentencing program which is imposed to the serious juvenile criminals. Blended sentence ensures that the youth serves in corrective facilities with moral conduct and if he completes it successfully, he may be granted an appeal for revoking the adult sentence.  

But if he does not prove his good conduct while serving, he may be again arrested and will be put in an adult prison. This blended sentence thus provides opportunity for the juvenile criminals to correct themselves and get freed from some serious sentences by the court.
