Description

Many people do not know the consequences for entering a guilty plea to the Comt. Entering a guilty plea to the Court may bring unintended consequenees for the offender in the following areas: employment, housing, or other everyday living situations. In 2007, Minnesota's Legislature focused on several publie safety initiatives, but the main focus was to describe the safety of the public after imprisoned offenders return fi"om incarceration to live among the public. Minnesota residents have communicated to the Legislature their concerns regarding ex-offender living in their neighborhoods, so the Legislature created the Collateral Sanctions Committee. The term "collateral sanctions" has a broad definition. "A 'sanction' is a punishment, and a 'collateral sanction' is a punishment that results from a crime, but is not impost by a judge as part of a criminal sentence." This research project explains the various types of collateral sanctions among Minnesota residents. The most common offenses include: Driving While Impaired (DWI), domestie abuse, and theft. This project provides an overview of the consequences that may occur with these offenses. This research allows the probation officers to better inform their clients on some of the consequences of collateral sanctions after entering a guilty plea.
