is the use of splitting a sentence, shock probation or parole, shock incarceration, community service, intensive supervision, or home confinement in lieu of other, more traditional sanction such as imprisonment and fines. Also called alternative sanctions.

Intermediate Sanctions

Explanation:

An intermediate sanction is a criminal sanction that provides alternative punishments rather than the usual jail term or probation. It is flexible concerning the sentencing of criminals. Examples are house arrest, community service, boot camp, intensive supervision, etc. It has helped to save costs and also provided a wider scope of punishing offenders.

An intermediate sanction is like rehabilitation as it helps to reform offenders and decongest the prisons as criminal offenders are put up for rehabilitation programs.
