Recidivism Enforcement


Recommended Posts

So recidivism, or re offending, has a penalty enumerated in the Penal code that it adds onto the max sentence per offense an additional 50% of the max. 

 

For example, 5-4F Felony Resist (the most commonly charged felony) has a max sentence of 10 years. 

 

So say for example Joe Schmo has 3 priors for that exact offense. That would add on: 3 offenses * 10 years * 0.5 recidivism multiplier equaling an additional 15 years to the max 10 years on the offense for a total of 25 years. 

 

It's always worked that way. But the new jailor doesn't account for it. I would imagine it wouldn't be impossible to include a recidivism option to input years without need for staff intervention. 

 

Just a thought to tweak the jailor to match the Penal code.

Would be nice just to add a "Repeat Offender" option that is 1 minute long, and no limit. That way you can add as many as you need.

And to the naysayers who would suggest "What if they abuse it", I'd point out that you can literally already add every single charge possible to a guy.
