Abstract
In 1980, a study of Colorado's new determinate sentencing law was conducted to discover what changes had occurred. A probability sample of felons convicted before and after the law was selected and comparisons made. Data suggest that no significant change in plea (charge) bargaining practices occurred under determinate sentencing. In addition, no significant differences in commitment rates or lengths of stay were observed.
