44 Ohio N.U. L. Rev. 263 (2018)
No Indeterminate Sentencing without Parole

handle is hein.journals/onulr44 and id is 283 raw text is: NO INDETERMINATE SENTENCING WITHOUT PAROLE KATHERINE PUZAUSKASO & KEVIN MORROWO ABSTRACT This article looks critically at the indeterminate sentencing system that survived after the elimination of parole in Arizona in 1993. It begins by exploring the purpose and history of indeterminate sentencing and parole as well as its earliest constitutional challenges and eventual decline. Next it compares two commonly confused forms of release: parole and executive clemency. The article then examines the three types of defendants affected by indeterminate sentences without parole: death row defendants denied parole eligibility instructions at trial, defendants sentenced with parole at trial, and defendants whose plea agreement includes parole. Finally, the article argues that without parole, indeterminate sentencing systems like the one used in Arizona should be ruled unconstitutional. Professor of Practice, Sandra Day O'Conner College of Law; former executive director of the Arizona Justice Project; J.D. Howard University. J.D. Candidate, Sandra Day O'Conner College of Law, 2018. This article does not address Arizona Senate Bill 1211 (2018) which may permit parole eligibility for pleading inmates sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after a minimum number of years. 263
