Mandatory sentencing guidelines are laws regulating the minimum and maximum sentences that judges may impose for certain crimes. In the state of Michigan, only a few crimes--such as first-degree murder and DUIs--have absolute mandatory sentencing guidelines. For other crimes, sentencing is determined by the convicted individual's "Prior Record Variables," meaning that the mandatory guidelines for a particular crime change depending on the felon's previous criminal activity.
