HE OUTLINES THE PROVISIONS OF A SENATE REFORM BILL, THE SENTENCING GUIDELINES BILL (S. 2669, 94TH CONGRESS, 2D SESSION), WHICH WOULD ARTICULATE THE GENERAL PURPOSES AND GOALS OF SENTENCING THE JUDGE SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE IMPOSING A SENTENCE OF IMPRISONMENT. IT ALSO PROVIDES FOR APPELLATE REVIEW OF SENTENCES, CREATES A UNITED STATES COMMISSION ON SENTENCING TO ESTABLISH SPECIFIC, FIXED SENTENCING RANGES FOR SIMILAR DEFENDANTS COMMITTING SIMILAR CRIMES, AND REQUIRES SENTENCING JUDGES TO IMPOSE A SENTENCE WITHIN THE COMMISSION-ESTABLISHED RANGE OR SUBMIT WRITTEN JUSTIFICATION. THE BILL ADOPTS THE CONCEPT OF IMPRISONMENT AS 'PUNISHMENT,' NOT 'REHABILITATION,' AND CONCENTRATES ON THE OTHER MAJOR JUSTIFICATIONS FOR IMPOSING A TERM OF IMPRISONMENT - INCAPACITATION, SPECIFIC DETERRENCE, GENERAL DETERRENCE AND RETRIBUTION.
