and Notes |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Increasing the
class of crime for certain prostitution crimes will likely result in an
increase in the length of a sentence and potentially shift the cost from the
county correctional system to the state.
Allowing the court to impose a jail sentence for the Class E crime of
first offense engaging a prostitute may increase the number of people
sentenced to jail. The average cost
per day per prisoner is $111.34 in a state facility and $118.04 in a county
facility. |
