Most eSignature solutions require users to have a paid subscription. With DocHub, there are two ways for you to add an electronic signature to your bifurcated sentence at no cost:

  • You can do it during a 7-day trial period;
  • You can subscribe to a free plan.

The second option, however, has restrictions on the number of signatures, sign requests, emails, and documents for adjusting available per month. You can check for full information here.

You need only a web connection and a web browser to fill out your bifurcated sentence on an iOS phone. Open the DocHub website and authenticate.

You may also send it to a specified recipient immediately.

Under truth-in-sentencing laws, anyone convicted of crimes committed after December 31, 1999, must serve all of their sentence without the possibility of parole. Some people may be eligible for something known as early release.
A: First enacted in 1984, Truth in Sentencing (TIS) laws are a form of determinate sentencing where incarcerated individuals are required to serve a substantial portion of their sentence, generally 85%, prior to release. Under this model, parole eligibility and good time credits are restricted or outright eliminated.
Example: A concurrent sentence is more favorable because it allows the defendant to spend a shorter time in prison.

Under Wisconsins Truth-in-Sentencing laws, any person who commits a felony offense on or after Dec. 31, 1999, and is sentenced to at least one year in prison will not be eligible for parole. They are generally required to serve the entire sentence imposed by the Court, with some exceptions for early release.
Every sentence imposed by the judge is reduced by good time. The amount of the reduction is set by law and equals one-quarter of the sentence. For example, a person sentenced by the judge to serve 60 days in jail will serve 45 actual days.
But in many other states, truth-in-sentencing laws and other similar laws that impose longer sentences are making a comeback, particularly for violent crimes. Since 2023, Louisiana, Arkansas, South Dakota and Tennessee have passed truth-in-sentencing laws. North Dakota is now considering similar legislation.
