As jurisdictions build their sentencing continuums, the judge, the prosecutor, and the defender will have more responses available at the sentencing phase of the system. This carries several advantages. The selection of a correctional program can be tailored to the offender's criminal history and nature of the current offense. Supervision of the offender in the community can occur in several program models: intensive supervision, day reporting, and electronic monitoring programs. These models can reduce public safety risks while also providing some degree of punishment, rehabilitation, and restrictions for the offender. Offenders can be made accountable for their behavior through a variety of new options, such as day fines, intensive supervision, boot camps, electronic monitors, treatment programs, and other programs. The new sanctions offer more equitable choices for sentencing that tailor the sentence to the offender. The new sentencing options tend to be less costly than incarceration. These new programs have the potential for ensuring the availability of prison and jail space for the offenders that continue to be public safety risks. 2 references
