Circle sentencing refers to the sentence/punishment that require the offender to follow a certain type of rehabilitation program so they can be educated and not repeat the same type behavior again.
Pros of circle sentencing
- the rate of re-occurrence for the same crime would be dramatically reduced.
- Since the rehabilitation program would include the combination of soft-skill and hard- skill, the offender might come out becoming a more functional member of society.
Cons of circle sentencing
- This type of programs usually cost a lot of money for the federal government. So they would most likely increase the tax rate in order to achieve this.
