The criminal penalties for a crime can be severe, depending on the crime an individual is charged with, his/her criminal history, and other factors. For instance, even a DUI conviction can result in jail time, substantial fines, driver's license suspension, and more. More serious offenses may result in a prison term that varies in length from one or two years to life - or even the death penalty. A criminal record will impact the defendant's life in terms of employment, student loans, housing, and other matters. Probation, community service, and court-ordered attendance of alcohol or drug abuse programs are other sanctions, depending on the charges.
