Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A conditional sentence, often served in the community under specific conditions, does not have to match the length that would have been served if incarceration was the sentence. Its length is determined by the court within the legal framework, aiming for rehabilitation and reintegration rather than matching the exact duration of potential incarceration.
