2000 SESSION
SB 168 Youthful offenders.
Introduced by: William C. Mims | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Youthful offenders. Requires a suspended period of confinement in addition to the four years of indeterminate commitment and requires confinement in a state facility for youthful offenders. Initial confinement must be followed by at least one and one-half years of supervised parole. The bill changes those eligible for indeterminate commitment by excluding certain sex offenders and all misdemeanants (currently misdemeanors involving injury to persons or property are included) and by allowing participation of all who committed the offense prior to age 21 (current law is limited to juveniles tried as adults and to persons who committed the offense after becoming 18 but before 21 years of age). The bill also adds specific program requirements for youthful offender facilities. The Department of Corrections is required to report annually to the General Assembly on the use of the youthful offender program by the judiciary.
