Answer to Question 1

Indeterminate sentence does not specify the length of time the juvenile must be held; rather, correctional authorities decide when the juvenile is ready to return to society.

Determinate sentences specify juvenile offenders to a fixed term of incarceration that must be served in its entirety.

Mandatory sentences are defined by a statutory requirement that states the penalty to be set for all cases of a specific offense. Juveniles receiving mandatory sentences are usually institutionalized for the full sentence and are not eligible for early parole.

The difference between mandatory and determinate sentences is that the mandatory sentence carries a statutory requirement that a certain penalty be set in all cases on conviction for a specified offense.
