摘要

Truth in sentencing (TIS) refers to a range of sentencing practices that aim to reduce the uncertainty about the length of time that offenders must serve in prison. Throughout the States and in the Federal Government there has been, during the past decade, much legislative activity related to TIS. The first chapter describes the changes in the Federal TIS grant eligibility requirements over time, as well as the various forms of TIS described in the Federal legislation that has been the basis of the Federal TIS grant program. It also describes the varieties of TIS implemented throughout the United States and argues that the Federal TIS grant eligibility criteria reflect both the Federal recognition of a wide variety of sentencing practices among the States and the Federal acknowledgment that there is not a common or unified form of TIS. The second chapter addresses the role of the Federal TIS grant program in influencing States to implement TIS. This chapter argues that the Federal TIS grant program had limited influence on the States in their adoption of TIS according to an 85 percent, determinate sentencing model; further, it had marginal influence on the States in their adoption of other forms of TIS. The Federal TIS grant program is better understood as a program that reflected current sentencing practices and the reforms that were occurring in the States. The third chapter takes information about sentencing reforms from the descriptions in the previous two chapters and addresses empirically the influence of TIS reforms on changes in prison population outcomes.
