HOLDS THAT POLITICAL OFFENDERS OF THE WATERGATE TYPE SHOULD BE SENTENCED TO COMMUNITY SERVICE POSITIONS WHICH WOULD MAKE USE OF THEIR OCCUPATIONAL TALENTS.
Abstract
IT IS MAINTAINED THAT THE PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OFFENDER MORE THAN THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CORRECTIONAL PROGRAM SHOULD DETERMINE THE PURPOSES OF A CRIMINAL SENTENCE. SUPERVISED RELEASE TO THE COMMUNITY WITH A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT IN PUBLIC SERVICE IS CONSIDERED TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS OF POLITICAL OFFENDERS.
