THE FIVE MAJOR SENTENCE CLASSIFICATIONS ARE IMPRISONMENT, WHICH SHOWS MONTHS SENTENCED TO IMPRISONMENT; PROBATION, WHICH IS LIMITED TO 60 MONTHS, EXCEPT IN INSTANCES OF CONSECUTIVE SENTENCES; SPLIT OR MIXED SENTENCE, WHICH INCLUDES ALL SENTENCES WITH THE COMBINATIONS OF PRISON AND PROBATION, PRISON AND FINE, PROBATION AND FINE, OR PRISON, PROBATION, AND FINE; FINE ONLY; AND OTHER, WHICH INCLUDES DEPORTATION, SENTENCE SUSPENDED, IMPOSITION OF SENTENCE SUSPENDED, IMPRISONMENT FOR FOUR DAYS OR LESS, SENTENCED TO TIME ALREADY SERVED, AND REMITTED OR SUSPENDED FINES. THE GENERAL OFFENSES FOR WHICH SENTENCES ARE LISTED ARE HOMICIDE, ROBBERY, ASSAULT, BURGLARY, LARCENY AND THEFT, EMBEZZLEMENT AND FRAUD, AUTO THEFT, FORGERY AND COUNTERFEITING, SEX OFFENSES, NARCOTICS, MISCELLANEOUS GENERAL OFFENSES, IMMIGRATION LAWS, LIQUOR AND INTERNAL REVENUE, AND FEDERAL STATUTES. EACH OF THESE GENERAL CATEGORIES IS DIVIDED INTO THE SPECIFIC OFFENSES FOR WHICH CONVICTION WAS OBTAINED. THE SENTENCES IMPOSED CHART IS PRIMARILY FOR THE USE OF THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY AND IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE FEDERAL PROBATION OFFICERS WHO MAY NEED THE SENTENCING EXPERIENCE OF THE JUDICIARY FOR THEIR PRESENTENCE INVESTIGATION REPORTS.
