Sentencing in a crown court

[jalopy]

If a person is sentenced in court but is allowed time to sort out their affairs, etc. How long is the interim period likely to be before they are imprisoned?

Many thanks.

I think about 4-6 weeks - varies from location to location - presumable there is a pre sentence report?

That's helpful info. Could you explain what a pre sentence report is, FRF?

Thanks.

Well there is a long report written on the basis of interviews with them about their childhood, education and housing needs, health, metal health , risk of suicide, awareness of victim, risk of reoffending etc

You need Pan really - this is his bag and he knows a lot more than me about it. This identifies possible punishments that in the Mag court they wil take a lot of notice of, not so sure about how it works in the CC.

Thanks FRF.

I'm following a case and interested about the possible outcome.
