TERM OF IMPRISONMENT
NEW IN0ETERMlNATE SENTENCE
LAW EFFECTIVE AT PRESENT
TERM OF COURT

In view Of the fact that the crimi-
nal term of court is on here, much
interest is being felt in the operation
of the new indeterminate sentence

in the operation of which the jury
trying felony case, does not fix
the term Of punishment, but merely
decides the question of guilt Or in
nocence. The court, in cases of con-
yiction. pronounces the indeterminate
sentence The text OF the new law is
as follows
l. That all OF Section 1896, Chap
ter So of the Kentucky Statues be
stricken out and the following sub
stitute therefor so that said section SC
re-enacted shall read: That the
jury by which an offender, indicted
for a felony, is tried, shall ascertain
only whether or not said person is
guilty of a felony; If guilty the jury
shall so state in its verdict; and If
the indictment under which he IS
prosecuted charges an offense con
sisting of more than one degree,
shall find. and in the verdict say. OF
what degree they find him guilty;
after such finding of verdict OF the
jury, the court trying said offender
shall pronounce upon suchp erson an
indeterminate sentence of imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for a term,
stating in such sentence and judg-
ment the minimum and maximum
time Of such Imprisonment, the term
row or hereafter prescribed by law
as the minimum term OF imprison-
ment for the punishment OF TIE Of
tense stated in the verdict as tae
maximum time OF such Imprisonment
the term now or hereafter prescribed
by law as the maximum term of i'm.
prisonment for the punishment of
such offense, provided, however, in
the trial of persons charged with the
commission of a felony punishable
by death of confinement ia the penn
Tertiary for life, If said person is
found guilty by the Jury ii shall also
prescribe the punishment in its YER.
dict. and the court trying such Of
fender shall pronounce upon such
person a sentence OF death or impris-
onment for life, as found by the
Jury. A person sentenced to life
lmprisosknent under the provisions
OF this act shall be eligible to parole
as now or may hereafter be pre-
scribed by law.
The Jury by which an offender
charged with an offense is tried. or,
II a jury trying a person indicted for
felony shall find such person guilty
OF a misdemeanor, the jury shall fix
by its verdict the punishment to be
inflicted within the period or amount
prescribed by law.
Persons sentenced to punishment
by confinement in the penitentiary
shall be kept at hard labor; and 10
cases where the punishment is fine
or imprisonment in the county Jail,
or both, the Imprisonment shall be
by close confinement in the Jail OF
the county where the trial was had,
unless otherwise provided; and the
prisoner shall also be confined in the
jail until the fine and costs are paid,
unless otherwise provided.
