I really enjoyed your post ! I have been interested in Alaska since the Slednecks came out it just seemed live a very great environment to grown up in. I like the fact that you pointed that Alaska does provide benefits for rehabilitation while servicing time. Alaska main purpose for their guidelines is to eliminate unjustified despair in sentencing (Kauder & Ostrom, 2008, p. 8). As well, did you know that "The Alaska Sentencing Commission was active from 1990 to 1993. Its mandate was to evaluate the effect of sentencing laws and practices on the criminal justice system and to make recommendations for improving criminal sentencing practices" (p. 8). I think it's very nice of the state of Alaska to individually judge individuals on the crime
