At the time of your
plea before you are sentenced by the Judge for the charges found
against you, the Judge may require that a pre-sentence
investigation be conducted.
You will be
directed to the Probation Department where you will begin the
pre-sentence investigation process by filling out an information
packet, an appointment to return for the pre-sentence interview
will be scheduled at that time as well. You will be
instructed to bring certain documentation such as: Driver's
License or Michigan ID, Social Security Card, Diploma(s),
Military discharge papers, to name a few.
The purpose of a
pre-sentence report is to provide the Judge with additional
information about you and your crime and make recommendations so
that the Judge may be more informed at sentencing. Your
co-operation during this process will be reflected in the
pre-screening report.
