What You Need to Know About Jail Time in Michigan

criminal defense attorney Ann Arbor
In the Michigan criminal justice system, defendants who face misdemeanor charges and those who face felony charges involving
sentences of less than a year are incarcerated in jail – as opposed to prison. Prisons throughout the state are run by the Michigan Department of Corrections.
  

Sentencing guidelines for jail time in Michigan include factors that the judge should consider when making the jail time determination. For felony cases, the process involves assigning a score that factors in how serious the current offense is as well as any prior criminal history. 

Charges that are commonly associated with jail time in Michigan include:

 

      Assault and battery

      Domestic violence

      Drug possession
