Mandatory Sentence

A Mandatory Sentence is a predetermined punishment specified by law for a particular criminal offense, leaving the judge with no discretion to individualize the sentence. This type of sentence requires the court to impose a specific penalty upon conviction, regardless of mitigating factors or the judge's personal assessment of the case.
